GOP Finds a Chink in Obama’s Armor
Holder’s cavalier attitude wasn’t well received by McConnell, who added:
The question of where the terrorists at Guantanamo will be sent is no joking matter, Mr. President — and the administration needs to tell the American people how it will keep the terrorists at Guantanamo out of our neighborhoods and off of the battlefield. It’s one thing not to have a plan, it’s another to joke about not having one.
While the economy remains front-and-center for most Americans, these and other Republicans are banking on the fact that the more the public hears about the specific policies the president is pursuing, the more they will become concerned. Moreover, the Republicans clearly see that their House and Senate Democratic colleagues may have run into a cul-de-sac on national security.
Talk of a “truth commission” has been nothing short of a debacle for Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The story has migrated from “Did the Bush administration torture people?” to “Are Democrats playing hypocritical games with national security?” Judging from Pelosi’s brisk retreat from the truth commission idea, it appears that the latter story is toxic to her party.
Whether the Republicans’ offensive succeeds may turn on two factors. First, will sober-minded Democrats get queasy with the president’s approach and transform the message from a purely partisan one to a bipartisan effort to rein in the administration? The closing of Guantanamo and the potential release of detainees into the U.S. is not one Democrats are likely to be able to duck. However, they have to date been rather mute, hoping the headlines will vanish and the Obama administration will curb its zeal to appeal to the MoveOn.org crowd.
By highlighting this issue, Republicans hope to force Democrats to step forward. And that in turn may pressure the administration (which seems exquisitely attuned to politics) to return to a more sober approach on the war on terror.
Second, Republicans’ success will turn on devising a message that is sharp enough to penetrate the media din but not too partisan to turn off moderate and independent voters. The president personally and (to the dismay of conservatives) his world “outreach” tour remain popular with voters. So Republicans likely will make the most impact by sticking to the specific policies rather than roaming through the panoply of conservative complaints about Obama’s entire approach to foreign policy.
The bottom line: Republicans are betting that Obama’s national security approach is far less popular than he is with ordinary voters. They will do everything they can to make sure the public knows just what Obama is up to. If they succeed, it will once again demonstrate that governing is far tougher than campaigning.

Seriously. WTF?
‘Tax dodgers’ from the party who tells people paying taxes is ‘patriotic’ *cough-cough*, moveon.org *cough-cough*, ‘Acorn’ thuggery *cough-cough*, millions spent to keep his long-form birth cert hidden *cough-cough*, unaccounted campaign money *cough-cough*, denials of bowing to a Saudi King *cough-cough*, Ayers-Rev Wright-Michelle *cough-cough*, using AF1 for sh*ts and giggles photo-ops while needlessy traumatizing NY-ers *cough-cough*, turning up his thermostat and telling everyone else to turn theirs down *cough-cough*, telling bold face lies like “no earmarks” *cough-sputter-cough* etc. ad infinitum.
Man, with all that coughing I hope that isn’t the swine-bird-man flu *cough-cough*.
Speaking of MoveOn.org, here’s one of the headliners on their front page today:
“If Americans are given the choice of a quality public health insurance option similar to Medicare, we could all save up to 30% on our health care costs.”
OMgosh! I’ve always wanted ‘quality’ medicine like Medicare… I mean, every day I hear senior citizens telling
HORRORer I ‘wonderful’ stories about Mediscare but yeah…that’s the kind of health care *cough-cough* that I want for my loved ones and I. Riiiiiiiiight.I am pretty sure that waterboarding and the techniques we have been using are simply not effective enough !
We waterboarded KSM 180 times over a 30 day period. What if the imminent attack on LA was just a little more imminent. We can’t wait 30 days to get the information necessary for the safety of the homeland.
I am not sure what the solution is…. perhaps it should involve bunsen burners and particularly sensitive parts of the anatomy. Perhaps it should involve the captive’s children. Who knows what we need to do.
Sure it’s unpleasant, but if they don’t follow the rules of war and basic morality, what is a freedom loving country to do?
Any suggestions?
Actually, Medicare is not a bad program except for one tiny, minor little detail. IT’S flat BROKE
Obama is so fortunate the Newspapers are broke and can barely afford to cover the whitehouse mutt and ther First lady dresses. They sure can’t cover Korea, iran, Pochy e ston and the mexican drug wars.
Delia, don’t forget that the Rule Of Law President also fired the CEO of GM when the actual stockholders were quite happy with him. And all the Pres did was make a loan out of the Bank Bailout Fund to GM (didn’t buy any stock……just an illegal loan).
So, I guess Holder and Obama aren’t the type of guys who would run a red light if they had to rush their pregnant wife to the hospital – cuz that would be breaking the law, and we just don’t do that, do we, precious?
The thing is, I want my commander in chief to protect the US and its citizens by ANY MEANS NECESSARY. That’s what I want to hear. I don’t want to hear all this crap about “America’s values.”
What this has also shown me is how wimpy liberals are. THIS is what they consider torture. Has the administration not seen Saw? Did they ever read Poe? Does this mean I can sue my swimming coach for all the stuff he used to make us do until we were blue in the face?
Delia – I can’t wait until the day you reach the age when you become eligible for Medicare. It will be interesting to see how quickly you will change your tune. I don’t know any of my friend who have complained any more about Medicare than they use to complain about their private insurance coverage.
Toady, WTF are you talking about? Read the article rather than scanning a line or two, your remarks are not germaine.
The dispersal of “enemy combatants” into the homeland is about the dumbest thing I have ever heard of! I think the administration should try it first. Send the first 3 home with Obama, Holder and Denise “whatshisname”. If they work out there are plenty more Washington DC libs with huge homes and empty rooms who could take the rest!
I have an updated title for this article:”GOP Finds Chink in Obama’s Armor. His entire agenda.”

Er…I’m not even CLOSE to 65 yet!
-And, there are elderly folks who have to decide between buying groceries or medication so I don’t think medicare is working out all that ‘well’ for people. Beside, what do you care? Aren’t we ALL going to end up with socialized medicine under the Zero admin anyway? Yippppppeeeeeeeee!
BTW, in WA state which is one of the LIBTARD states, we have a law that no matter how deathly sick you are an insurance company has to cover you regardless. So, why buy insurance until you get sick then? Talk about assbackwards.
10. Catherine,
Isn’t it great, the enemy is thwarted from getting his lunatic killers into our country by the safeguards that were ereceted after 9-11. Now, to feel good about keeping at least ONE campaign promise, the President is going to turn those same lunatics loose in our neighborhoods.
I like your idea, they would make a great groundskeeping crew for the White House. That way the Prez could monitor their progress and apologise to them every day!
Whenever I see US Air Force planes flying by, I feel very, very proud. I do NOT feel fear.
After so many New Yorkers felt shear panic at the sight of jets flying over Manhattan, it is impossible to deny that the people of New York who gave Obama their electoral votes, do NOT beleive that his crew can keep them safe.
It is not Republicans’ job to save voters from themselves. These New York voters knew that they were voting for Social Change and that the price would be less security.
New Yorkers do not believe that 9/11 could never happen again. New Yorkers do not believe that the government has made the necessary changes to prevent 9/11 from happening again.
Holder got England and France to take one each? Wow that is great, if we can get the rest of the EU to take one each we will still be stuck with several hundred murderous killers that we have to set free and will have nowhere to sebd them.
We can’t send the Uighurs home to China because the Chinese will probably execute them but we can set them free in the US. Yeah, that makes sense.
Why didn’t we execute them when they were captured as is the prescribed treatment under international law?
sebd = send, I really should have taken a typing class
“The biggest political cover up in American history is taking place right before our eyes.
Worse than Watergate, Whitewatergate, or any of the other cover ups of previous administrations, is the question of whether Barack Hussein Obama is eligible to serve as President of the United States of America… OR, is he a FRAUD, a USURPER, a man with no legal authority to sit in the position that he now claims to hold?
Barack Obama could simply put the issue to rest right now by releasing his ACTUAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE! But he WON’T! Instead, he has had teams of attorneys all over the country, fighting “tooth and nail” to thwart the efforts of the United States Justice Foundation (USJF), and its allies in a number of states to compel him to produce an ACTUAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE and to prove that he is Constitutionally eligible to be President of the United States!
Ohio, Mississippi, Hawaii, and California! These are the states where USJF has been involved in lawsuits seeking an answer to the critical constitutional question! And now in California, just like in every lawsuit filed over this issue, the Obama team of attorneys, working with liberal allies in the office of the California Attorney General’s Office, has convinced a Sacramento County Superior Court judge to dismiss USJF’s suit to force the truth to come out about whether Barack Obama is a “natural born” citizen, and therefore eligible to serve as President of the United States.
A number of apologists for Barack Obama have gone to great lengths to belittle USJF and its allies in the fight to preserve our Constitution. However, the questions that they cannot answer are:
If Barack Hussein Obama has nothing to hide, WHY doesn’t he just make his real birth certificate public? WHY has he spent a reported $800,000.00 in attorney fees to fight efforts to obtain his ACTUAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE? The more that he fights these efforts to see it, the more you have to wonder, WHY?
The Obama supporters want everyone to believe that only “fringies,” the people that they now call “birthers,”, in other words, only people that they claim are outside of the main stream of thinking, question whether Mr. Obama is eligible to serve as President. But the truth of the matter is that more and more people, including many federal, state, and local elected officials, AND many in the military, are questioning whether Barack Hussein Obama is a “natural born citizen,” a requirement for him to serve as President of the United States.
The citizens of the United States have the right to know if Barack Obama is eligible to serve as President! And the United States Justice Foundation are going to take their lawsuit all the way up to the United States Supreme Court, if that is what is necessary, to find out the answer to this critical question.
This fight to discover the truth will be neither easy nor inexpensive, but isn’t protecting the Constitution worth it? And that is exactly what this legal battle is all about, PROTECTING THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION!
Barack Obama wants you to ignore what he is doing, he wants you to ignore the U.S. Constitution, he wants you to think that the parts of the Constitution that he does not agree with (like the requirements to serve as President) are unimportant.
In effect, he wants to destroy the U. S. Constitution and reshape it into his own image of what he wants it to be.
And Barack Obama’s attorneys have now taken another big step to destroy the Constitution of the United States — this time in a California State Court. Those attorneys, working with liberal California State Attorney General Jerry Brown, convinced the Judge in our case, at a March 13, 2009, hearing to rule that only Members of Congress can challenge the qualifications of Mr. Obama to serve as President.
And, the Judge further ruled that such a challenge could only be made on the 6th day of January following the meeting of the Presidential electors, at the session of Congress where the vote of the Electoral College is counted and the results announced. To use the Judge’s words, this is “the exclusive means for challenges to the qualifications of President…”
That means that no one, except a Member of Congress, and only on one certain day of the year following the Presidential election, can challenge the qualifications of the President. And then, the challenge can only be successful if a majority of the Members of Congress support the challenge! And that means that the requirements of the U. S. Constitution as to the eligibility of the man or woman who runs for President to serve as President are meaningless!
To blunt USJF’s efforts to learn the truth, the Trial Court also blocked USJF’s subpoena for the college records of Mr. Obama! These vital records could have proven whether Barack Hussein Obama is eligible to serve as President of the United States, or whether he is a USURPER, a FRAUD, sitting in the oval office without any legal authority to do so!
USJF had subpoenaed the records of Barack Hussein Obama from Occidental College in California, but, at the hearing on March 13, 2009, the Judge, in Sacramento County Superior Court in California, blocked USJF from obtaining those critical records.
What is in those records? We do not know. But the Obama legal team pulled out all of the stops to block the subpoena, so we believe that there is something in those records that bears on the critical issue of whether Barack Obama is eligible to serve as President of the United States.
JUST LIKE WE BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A REASON WHY THE OBAMA LEGAL TEAM, ACCORDING TO A PUBLISHED REPORT, HAS BEEN PAID OVER $800,000.00 TO KEEP THE PUBLIC FROM SEEING HIS REAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE — NOT THE PHONEY ONE THAT HE PUT UP ON HIS WEBSITE.
USJF is not saying that Barack Hussein Obama is not eligible to serve as President of the United States of America. The problem is we just do not know!
We do know that Barack Obama’s maternal step-grandmother has proclaimed that she was present at his birth in Mombasa, in what is now Kenya, in Africa!
We do know that a fake birth certificate was put up on Obama’s website!
We do know that Mr. Obama’s legal team is doing everything that it can, in every case filed over this issue to make sure that no one has access to his birth certificate.
We do know that Mr. Obama’s legal team is doing everything that it can, in our California case to make sure that no one has access to his college records.
DON’T LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT! HELP US EXPOSE THE OBAMA COVER-UP.
DON’T LET HIM RIP THE CONSTITUTION TO SHREDS!
The voters of the United States of America have the right to know whether Barack Obama is a “natural born citizen,” as REQUIRED by the U. S. Constitution!
It’s a question that MUST be answered!
Why? Because, if an unqualified person was elected to the Office of President of the United States, our entire form of government could be compromised!
Why?
Because, if Barack Hussein Obama is not eligible to serve as President of the United States, each and every act that he takes as President will be null and void! That’s right, each bill that he signs into law, every Executive Order that he makes, and each and every one of his nominations to his Cabinet and to the federal courts will have no legal effect! It’s not an exaggeration.
Article 2, Section 1, Clause 4 of the United States Constitution provides, in pertinent part, as follows: “No Person except a natural born Citizen… shall be eligible to the Office of President…”
That means that neither Osama Bin Laden, nor California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, nor Obama billionaire money man George Soros can serve as President of the United States. That also means that if Barack Obama was born outside of the United States, he is not eligible to serve as President of our great country!
So where was Mr. Obama born?
He claims to have a copy of his birth certificate. That means that either he knows where he was born, or he’s lying about having that document.
And only Barack Hussein Obama’s ACTUAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE can answer that question of where he was born. But he has teams of attorneys, all across the country, spending, and doing, whatever it takes to make sure that no one, and I mean NO ONE, will be allowed to see the one document that can clear up this controversy
Mr. Obama has claimed that his Presidential administration will be the most transparent in history. Yet, he will not make public the one document that could end all of the questions about the legitimacy of his election as President.
Why?
Is it because this is some unimportant “technicality”? No, a requirement of the U. S. Constitution is not a mere “technicality”!
Is it because “President” Obama (if he is the President of the United States) has more important issues to deal with, and can’t spare the time to deal with such a trivial issue? No, what is more important than the integrity of the Office of the President?
Or, is there something more involved?
Another question that the Obamaphiles don’t want to answer is why, in 2006, was a law firm with ties to Mr. Obama researching the question as to how to evade the requirements of Article II of the United States Constitution, regarding the requirements to serve as President. 2006? Two years before the Presidential campaign?
If that doesn’t raise questions in your mind, then nothing will!
And then there’s the statements made by representatives of the State of Hawaii! According to Dr. Chiyome Fukino, of the State of Hawaii’s Department of Health,
“Therefore, I as Director of Health for the State of Hawaii, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have personally seen and verified that the Hawaii State Department of Health has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures.”
It is that very record that USJF financed lawsuits in Mississippi and in Hawaii were seeking to force into the public arena! But Obama’s attorneys, and his allies in state government, stopped those efforts cold!”
You have to wonder WHY? What is Obama hiding????
I know! Let’s send them to Hollywood. Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins, and the lovely and urbane jeaneane garofolololo can put them into their movies as extras. It’s a win-win situation:
1. They’ll be making money and paying taxes like the rest of us.
2. Obama will be able to claim a “job created” caveat.
3. The liberals in Hollywood will feel super duper good about themselves.
4. And, if the inevitable should happen, such as one of them showing up to work one day with a bomb strapped to his chest, what’s the worst that could happen? A bunch of liberal Hollywood “actor” elistist might be harmed (not tortured, mind you, just harmed).
I liked the concept of “the (sober-minded) democrats getting queasy with the president’s approach”. What a cool word—queasy.
What a perfect picture–you can see them all pasty, bloated, bad makeup and bad comb-overs, holding their mouths and stomachs–as they start to have the intestinal realization of WHO OBUMMER IS AND WHAT HE’S DONE!!! Hey, try listening to your constituency once in a while or allowing a questioning thought–we could have told you a looooooong time ago—-self-serving impostors!
Reminds me of the Michelangelo Sistine Chapel painting of the man holding the side of his head with this graphic picture of dread on his face when he realized he’d been damned–forever. That’s serious stuff. I’d rather they had to courage to acknowledge the truth. It’s their call.
Maybe we can send them to Texas
The Shadow: Send them to Texas? That’s where American’s dish out real justice and where patriots go to retire. Wouldn’t make any sense to a bleeding heart lib like yourself but there ARE pockets of this country (ie Texas) where decency and values and patriotism still reign. Please don’t tell your friends though. They don’t fancy metro-sexuals like yourself there.
turning the terrorists loose in the US is OK as long as they are registered in the community (like sex offenders). Let’s see the outcry and the subsequent loss of support from those congressional districts, and it’s affect on Obama’s overall support in congress. If I know human nature at all I suspect the waterboardees will want to return to Guantanomo at that point, unless backatcha takes them in.
By the way, Rush made quite a call to action to the Repubs today, saying Oblather is very vulnerable rt now. Let’s hope they do finally squeak up.–what Jenn reported here is the first sign of any life at all. Their silence and lack of courage has made fools out of all of them and Americans are disgusted. Let’s see.
The current GOP trend is to be more like Obama, believe it or not. If that doesn’t turn someone into a conspiracy nut, what would?! So far it sure seems they’re practically laying down for him, starting with Bush’s debacle at the end of his term laying the perfect groundwork for Oprompter’s election and ensuing jet-propelled take off into socialization. As the church lady says, “how conveeeeeeeeeeenient.” (How DID Romney get booted from the running and McSame get the nod, anyway??) At the least, it’s obvious this thing has been engineered by some group of power hungry statists, using their puppets and stooges as the front men….But not to worry–we get the privilege of watching them perform–nimbly doing the sidestep while hypnotically quoting random words!–and on primetime TV! Glory!
(On the other hand, the quiet could also be because the GOPers are simply afraid of him, knowing very well he’s going to be a very powerful and nasty tyrant to cross. He’s made that clear. Could very well be. The DEMS can’t even speak up to Pelosi, nevermind Obambam. Nasty bunch.
PS. It’s not “government by the people, for the people”..
It’s now “government versus the people”!
Lord help us.
The “too popular to attack” justification for silence is very much like the “too big to fail” excuse that was given no too long ago for refusing overdue bankruptcies from taking their course.
There is already a disconnect between how the president’s personal approval numbers still float well above the popularity of his policies. When the presiden’t personal approval drops, (as it can only do eventually if previous presidencies are a valid parallel), it will drop like a brick, because of the huge backlog of so far unexpressed anger.
What will trigger this game changing monent? Certainly a successful political attack from our easily intimidated republicans is much preferable to a successful terrorist attack from the not-so-easily deterred overzealous muslims.
I say let Obama’s illegal alien Aunt from Kenya, Zeituni Onyango, let the Central Asian Jihadists crash at her public housing apartment in Boston to compensate us for all those years she has been sucking on the public tit.

Well shadow, your friends must have had crap private insurance. we recently put my mother on a private policy that has BETTER coverage than her old medicare policy. Not only that, it COSTS LESS. (but wait, there’s MORE – it has LESS beaurocracy, meaning FASTER insurance service)
You’ve obviously never worked in the medical profession and had to figure the angles to get your patients the care they needed with all the hoops government medicare threw out. I don’t know how many times we’ve heard raves from her medical providers about how wonderful this policy is – and that they can give her the treatment she NEEDS.

Nice job, I especially liked the “job created” angle. Reminds me of the “Family Guy” episode where Osama is rapping in his cave and making fun of other jihadists.

Every bleedin’ heart Liberal who ‘cares’ about those

TERRORISTS!Sometimes I’m not sure if ThinkingPerson, Delia et al (regardless of how articulate, insightful and witty they are, are getting the attention of Obama’s minion’s, much less the attention of the Annoying One, Himself.
That’s because the boy blunder seems so focused on what he considers more important things.
Like giving gazillions of tax dollars away to chronies and long time Democratic supporters under the guise of stimulus packages all neatly wrapped up in 9,000 pink earmark laden bows.
Even the semi-literate pukes who litter PJM with their trash talking (the ones who spend their Friday nights hanging out in a rented conference room at the local Holiday Inn, the place with the big neon sign that reads, “WELCOME IDIOTS”); yes, even these mouth breathing creatures will begrudingly admit that Barack uttered a bald faced lie about doing away with earmarks. To Democrats, that’s like promising to breathe through their noses.
What did Rachel say? The boy wonder is focused on other things?
Yes. Like not only raiding the treasury, but spending money we don’t have. Putting us into the kind of debt capable of putting an entire population on a first name basis with the repo man.
The Annoying one is focused on other things.
Like dyeing his hair.
In fact, Obama’s new no-gray look is reported to remind Obama of his pre-ruining America days when he used to just think about it, palling around with his favorite domestic terrorist buddies, (you know their names).
Incidentally, the charm school girl dropout who does Obama’s hair is none other than Michelle, to whom Barack has provided a body language expert who’s helped Michelle attain her new, “No Frown” look. Of course, the White House staff is trying to keep these makeovers top secret. Which, my friends, are different from state secrets, which are available only to Barack’s biggest foreign contributors.
Of course, in the Obama administration where up is down, right is wrong, wars are ended not won, Americans are cowards, tyrant leaders of other countries are bowed to, CIA secret memos are released, political hacks are put in charge of security posts, and about all Obama insists on keeping secret is his hair appointments, the United States of America, itself is floundering.
With no governor to stop the acceleration of the country’s Obamainizing, I feel like we’re like a car racing faster and faster into the direction of an 8 feet thick stone wall.
I want to get Obama’s attention. “Take your foot off the accelerator”, you birth certificate challenged dimwit, you’re terrorizing the country.
But Rockobama doesn’t listen.
Well, maybe this will get your attention, joy boy.
When the worm turns, when sanity returns. When the bums are thrown out of office. (no independent clause here english majors)
Barack baby, when what you’re trying to do to Bush and Cheney and those Americans who honor our soldiers, not threaten them with prison; when the hands of honorable, decent, freedom defending Americans are back on the wheel of the ship of state, Barack, you and your hate-filled, freedom hating, greedy politi-thugs will be charged under our federal laws, and tried; justice will be meted out.
What you’re trying to do to Bush and Cheney, Barack, you corrupt, lying varment, will be done to you.
The day will come when people who deface, besmirch, bemoan, belittle, soil, sully and try to redefine America will be led away in handcuffs.
Think about that as your smile your snide little smile and stare at your burgeoning bank account. You pompous little peon.
You’re as politically, ethically and morally bankrupt as they come.
Will the “truth commission” raise issues relating to Botox in the House for frown lines and brow furrows?
#31 Rachel Peepers: BRAVO! Well said.
Re: Medicare and other such “entitlements”.
If you look at the estimates in the last Bush 2008 Budget, for mandatory federal government expenditures for “Entitlements”–the major ones being Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Veteran’s benefits, Federal civilian and military retirement benefits, food stamps and unemployment benefits–they were estimated to account for 63.1% of all federal outlays in 2008 and to be 12.6% of GDP (see Historical Table. 3.1, Outlays by Superfunction and Function: 1940-2012, and look at the part of the chart that covers 2008 and is labeled “as percentage of outlays” and “as percentage of GDP” at http://tinyurl.com/c6knwa; the 2009 Obama budget estimates such mandatory entitlement outlays will to climb to 69.2% of all outlays by 2013 (see same Table for 2009 at http://tinyurl.com/dmswg6).
Thus, this apparently unstoppable, voracious monster of mandatory entitlement spending is inexorably consuming more and more of the federal budget each year, and at some point not too far in the future, it will consume all of it, leaving no money left to pay for anything else.
All this, of course, before factoring in the effects of the tens of trillions of dollars in new spending Obama wants to do, creating enormous deficits because it will be using money borrowed from lenders like the Chinese–who taxpayers will have to pay interest to in the form of new taxes–as well as the crippling rise in energy costs that Obama’s proposed “cap and trade” will mean for each of us and for our economy generally.
I submit that no better plan to wreck our economy and pauperize us, and our children, and their children, too, could probably be conceived.
Rachel–Rant on!
“Barack baby, when what you’re trying to do to Bush and Cheney and those Americans who honor our soldiers, not threaten them with prison; when the hands of honorable, decent, freedom defending Americans are back on the wheel of the ship of state, Barack, you and your hate-filled, freedom hating, greedy politi-thugs will be charged under our federal laws, and tried; justice will be meted out.”
Amen. The wheels of justice grind exceeding slow, but exceeding fine.
Ms. Peepers you need a life: an outpouring of bitter bile was not what this article called for. Your tirade against Obama (does he dye his hair? Who cares?) is one reason you will spend political life as an outcast nursing coffee at a coffee shop. This isn’t PEOPLE magazine. Baying at Obama and theatening handcuffs makes you sound as crazy as CNN thinks you are.
A chink in Obama’s armor? Jam the teleprompter.
OK, perhaps this is unkind…watching BHO read from two teleprompters makes me laugh out loud, I get so entertained by his “crossing the street/tennis match head turning” that I find it impossible to focus on what he is saying.
He appears to be on the look out for…what? A real question? Michelle telling him it’s time to pull weeds? A place to sneak a ciggie? Someone with a copy of his birth certificate? Harsh, that issue again.

On a more serious note, let’s look at the logistics of this whole thing:
There are about 245 detainees still living at Gitmo. Apparently, roughly 50-100 of them cannot be released or tried. I don’t know why, I’m just repeating a news story from the BBC.
The remaining detainees will be released but not charged and will be sent to other countries. The 17 Chinese Uighers will probably end up being released in the U.S.
Logistically speaking, how would they “release” these fellas? Would they ferry them back to the U.S., escort them out of the boat onto the dock, and say “Good luck, dudes!” Would they each receive a new suit and a couple hundred bucks in cash for a new start? Will there be a line of ACORN “volunteers” waiting at the dock to greet and welcome our new citizens? Where exactly would a boat ferry these guys to?
Now for Moogie’s answers: they will probably be ferried to the U.S. covertly so as to not give any overly-patriotic Americans an opportunity to get up to some not-so-legal shenanigans. Everything will have to be top-secret hush-hush. Maybe even tippy-top-top-secret.
They’ll be escorted to a waiting bus, where they will then be secreted to a top-secret holding facility – a sort of “safe house.” They will wait there until further decisions about their final release location are made. They’ll be guarded, fed, clothed – pretty much what they’ve received at Gitmo since their capture, only now they’ll be receiving this care on American soil.
Their ultimate release into the populace will also have to be top-secret, otherwise, their likelihood of survival might be at risk. I’m just sayin’… I think that’s a reality the administration needs to think about when they say they are considering the possibility of releasing the detainees here.
This whole scenario reeks of condescension and irony. They were captured and detained because they were enemies of the state. And now, the only alternative available, short of keeping them imprisoned for the rest of their lives, is to release them to live freely in the very state they previously threatened because some people are worried the United States is looking too overbearing to the rest of the world?
And the REAL funny irony of this whole thing … the truly outrageous aspect of this entire debate is: … ready? … The very people whining about Gitmo and enhanced interogation techniques are some of the meanest bullies around! They’re the “Shut up!” people. They’re the “We won!” people. They’re the name callers and partisans.
Okay, I’m done. That was exhausting.
#31 – Rachel Peepers – Excellent Post!!!!
39. Moogie,
Excellent rant, Moogster! Loved it!
Hey, kid…if anyone tells you to shut up, take it as a compliment. It means you’re annoying the lefties and that’s a good thing.
P.S. A bit off-topic but, if you encounter a name like “Войска ПВО” just copy-paste it. If you’re using windows XP or VISTA those fonts are already installed in your system-fonts folder so you should be able to just simply copy-paste the name in a reply. If you’re a MAC person then neverrrrrrmind. lol
HE IS A ONE TERM PRESIDENT.
will not be reelected.
relax, he has gone as far as he is going to go.
no long term damage will be done to the country.
the fix is in, hillary is president in 2012. she will be the NY gov. in 2010. oblather will bow out with parkinsons or something.
common sense will again rule.
relax, be happy.
Hey – our friends in China have thousands of warheads pinpointed on every target of opportunity in this country. And since this same country owns a majority of our debt, and is starting to bitch about it, maybe our debt is now a national security concern ? What if they decided to call in all of this debt at once ? What if they decide they want Alaska ?
Again, according to the Treasury Department, including the present value of future payments to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, the net worth of the United States Government is (-$43 Trillion). The publicly advertised national debt of $12 trillion does NOT include our biggest budget busters. Only a fool would feel safer now…
I love Obama and everything he’s doing. The fact that he’s tweaking the nose of malcontented shut-ins like Rachel Peepers is a terrific bonus. This endless upchucking of formulaic insults is the furthest thing from insight or humor. Not because I disagree with them (though I do) but because they’re just not funny or smart- bad rhymes and puns, schoolyard penis and turd jokes, pre-pubescent temper tantrums. Sad, really, that people who assume an air of discernment and political acumen could be so transparently clueless. No genuine analysis whatsoever. Just mindless overstatement equal in its lack of credibility . . . “I literally fell off my chair laughing!” Really? I think it’s time to up your game, people. Here’s the challenge: Write a funny finish to this statement . . . Sean Hannity refuses to get waterboarded for charity. He says he’d rather . . .
OK, have fun.
When they say they intend to rule by “the rule of law” what they mean is they will make sure that you peasants follow the laws but they themselves are kind of above all that pedestrian crap. The rule of law particularly applies to former Bush administration employees, and in particular, President Bush. Matter of fact they would be happy if it applied only to George Bush. Well maybe Cheney. And Karl Rove, don’t forget him. And Dr. Rice who was part of the Bush cabal. Ok but aside from that they intend to rule by the rule of law. OK?
Go Rachel go!
Moogs…stay strong. We need you. (Listening to Levin–God, he’s good!)
Thanks Delia and D-wah (currently reading Levin and lovin’ it).
Sheesh: Here’s the challenge: Write a funny finish to this statement . . . Sean Hannity refuses to get waterboarded for charity. He says he’d rather . . . ……… waterboard “Sheesh.”
If you don’t like what we write and you don’t care for our sense of humor, why do you read our stuff? No, wait … don’t answer … I’ll tell you why: because you LIKE pissing us off. You LIKE insulting us. You LIKE calling us names.
And of course, you have completely validated my whole point above: you’re a bully and you’re mean spirited.
You are unkind to other people who have done absolutely nothing to you; you sit in judgement of folks you don’t even know, taking offense at things they are writing to each other – not to you – then you post your vomitus blathering, with no real desire to impart wisdom or profound thought, but to simply level insults and accusations while licking the shoes of a man who had absolutely NO experience and NO character but you voted him in anyway because he was “cool” and he wasn’t Bush and it doesn’t matter if Your Glorious Leader is implementing seriously damaging policies because he’s The One and he isn’t Bush and that’s all that matters.
Oh, and the assuaging of your white guilt. That slate is clean now, so you can look at your adorable face in the mirror and say “Gee! I’m swell and Obama just loves me! He really, really loves me!”
Man, these tantrums are tiring. Gotta go get some wine now – the whining wore me out.
45. sheesh:
“I love Obama and everything he’s doing.”
~
Love? Oh you poor, brain-washed child. What’s love got to do with it [Cue Tina Turner]? Love+politics= Marilyn Monroe ala Kennedy [twice over with his bro], Love+politics ala the ‘blue stained dress’= Monika Lewinsky [verbal denials can't subvert DNA], Love+politics with ‘Zero’…how much love are you willing to prostrate yourself before the “one” for? -And forget about Ted Kennedy and the girl he left for dead. Too obvious.
Meanwhile, back at camp ‘reality’…your ‘love’ for someone you hardly know sh*t from shinola about is tearing our country apart with unmasked ‘giggling’ glee. Ayers, Rev Wright, Michelle must finally feel so ‘proud’ to be tearing apart the country they got an unfair ‘leg-up’ on in the first place.
Must be nice to rise to high places without any traces.
Every day brings a steady drumbeat of bad news coming from that cabal of idiots the 53% fell in love with. I can only take so much of this and thus I do not daily follow it all. It’s either too damn depressing or it makes me want to pull the few remaining hairs out of my scalp. I get my news here at PJM, at nationalreview.com, frontpagemag.com, and americanthinker.com. Sometimes I watch FOX News and the Jim Lehrer News Hour. I never watch the MSM and only read local papers for local news.
I find myself retreating into sports – the Red Sox and Boston Bruins, as a healthy diversion. Besides which, I daily have to trek to Catholic Medical Center in Manchester, NH to see my Mom, who just had emergency open heart surgery. I have my priorities set correctly. Keep my sanity. Help my family. When not visiting Mom and going to work, I am taking care of my own family.
Morons like Eric Holder, although they can do a lot of harm to the country, do not grab my respect or attention beyond the basic facts. I know the next four years are going to be a f___ing disaster in foreign policy, economics, and military preparedness. I expect the worst and so far am not being disappointed.
Everybody, hang on to your sanity. It IS going to get a lot worse. Those very few of us who did their research and homework about Obonga even before the primary season knew what he was about. Hardly anyone listened to us. Only a few people I know took me seriously. The rest thought he was gonna be great and thought I was being a curmudgeon “wingnut.”
49.Moogie
Well said. Thank you for taking the time to put it in to words. It IS tiring!?!
It’s so weird that the nasty leftist statists aren’t able to comprehend the little word on the left of this box that I’m typing in: “Comments”
As long as we continue to have freedom of speech, we’ll just keep at it. As I consider the patterns in the leftist movements over the decades, I notice that they (1) never actually try to persuade anyone but, rather, (2) just try to shut them up, wear them down, and destroy them.
A study of the last 35 years of strife and exhaustion in Tibet/China will include documents that discuss exactly that method.
The Chinese thought it through before they started: (1) take what you can(until your target actually actively fights back), (2) back off a little to let things calm down, then (3) go at it again. Their philosophy with regard to Tibet beginning in the late 50′s and early 60′s was simply “inch by inch, it’s a cinch.”
I smell the same kind of MO with the namecalling posters on these sites.
I will take the liberty of posting, thinking, COMMENTING and learning as I go, if need be.
There’s a really precious phrase that we probably need to use a little more these days, “Hey! It’s a free country!” We will keep asserting our liberties in order to protect them.
49 Moogie . . . Here you go, all in one big strand. Don’t whine at me, Moogie. Pick any 9 of 10 posts on this board and you’ll see exactly what you describe – the worst possible insults – aimed at every liberal from Obama to Pastor of Muppets. But you’re fine with all that. Well, I consider it my duty to lay naked this charade you indulge in – flouncing around in jingoistic patriotism, godless religiosity, and faux machismo. More than my duty, it’s an honor to turn your own words against you to offer witness to any free-thinking reader that there is good reason the American I love has turned against the pecksniffian moralizing of the Rovian conservative right. Old policies. Old ideas. Old people who refuse to admit the philosophy they’ve been sold for the last 30 years turned out to be the worst possible path for this country. I will never forgive you for destroying the brilliance of the American ideal. You’ve taken 250 years of independence and power and progress and let Dick Cheney pawn it all on the open market. And what did we get for it? Terrorist insurgencies throughout the world. 5,000 dead American heroes. Halliburton electrocuting our soldiers in the shower. And an old man with a face full of buckshot. All while George Bush ran up debt that will enslave our grand children. And now you have the gall to bitch about Obama. Why? Because the debt will now enlsave our GREAT grand children? There isn’t a single person on this board or anywhere on this earth who can predict where this country will be in five years. But that doesn’t stop you from complaining that the president and the congress who you voted against – SURPRISE! – doesn’t agree with your ideas of governance. Why not! Because they look at the last 8 – 30 years and what it produced and think it’s wrong. WHO DOESN’T? And yet you still can’t believe that Obama and the Democrats haven’t used THEIR power to pursue YOUR agenda, even though it is the exact same agenda that drove us into the ditch. “Shocking! How dare he ignore my insults! AND LOOK! He shook hands with Chavez! What WILL we do? How WILL the republic survive?” Well, maybe it wouldn’t survive if we had hand-wringing candy asses like you people running things. Fortunately, Obama is strong enough and smart enough and confident enough to look an adversary in the eye and see the truth, not “his soul.” Cowboy diplomacy was cowardly politics. We are well rid of it . . . and them . . . and you . . . all. So, pick a topic you’re all comfortable with – Perez Hilton, why Hollywood chooses to make good movies instead of conservative movies, telling gays why they’re gay, why senators defecting to the other side is “a good thing”, where to buy ammo, why we should ignore/listen to the French, why anyone would need a teleprompter, the dog, his hair, cheese. There, that should keep you perfunctorily offended for a couple more months. So whine at me again, Moogie. Please, whine at me again.
Now about that “up or down vote” thing on Supreme court justices. Heeeeyyy, waaiiiit a minute . . . Specter turns Democrat and two days later Souter retires . . . Heeeyyy, waaiiit a minute . . . it’s . . . it’s . . . an outrage! See, that’s how it works now. YOU throw tea parties. WE appoint supreme court justices. Fair warning: we’re appointing another one on July 4th!
Oh, I feel so good. It just feels so, what’s the word . . . right! Yes, it’s right. And liberating! Freedom is on the march, people!
President Obama is the greatest president ever! Look at all the great things he’s done since winning. (He Won!) He was on Leno. Not even Clinton did that! He parties with big stars every Wednesday night at the White House. How cool is that? What’s even cooler is that the big stars are lining up to be with President Obama. He’s the star’s star!!! Hundred dollar steaks for all! He’s gonna bring hope and change. He said so. It will happen despite the ravings of right-wing nuts. Not even Bush got a swimsuit photo spread. And I do LIKE WHAT I SEE. Ooo-La-La! Say anything mean about President Obama and my fingers go right into my ears. LaLaLa. Ha Ha! Everything’s fine. I love President Obama.
Sheesh, ever hear of paragraphs? Your stuff looked too painful to read so I skipped it.
Over at moonbattery.com, there were some lefties commenting on a Tea party article. All they could come up with was “We won, we kicked your ASS!!!!” As if this rapier wit and stunning logic would win converts to their side. However, it’s all they have. They know deep down serious mistakes are being made.
Rachel P “Sometimes I’m not sure if ThinkingPerson, Delia et al (regardless of how articulate, insightful and witty they are, are getting the attention of Obama’s minion’s, much less the attention of the Annoying One, Himself.”
This is too funny – you don’t seriously believe that any rational person reads these posts for anything but laughs do you?
The Shadow: More grunting I see? Please, attempt to make a point about the topic of discussion. Any point will do. Defend TeleBama. Tell us what an idiot TeleBama is. Just MAKE A FREAKING POINT once in a while instead of just grunting. It’s getting old and tiresome.
55. Marsha: Why do you hate America? Why do you undermine the president and our brave young men and women in harm’s way defending your right to say these horrible things about them? You know, you don’t have to live here. There are plenty of places where traitors like you can live in peace and love and harmony with others just like you – France or (he he) Iran.
If you don’t love this country and support its president, then you should leave.
59. sheesh-boom-shakkalakka:
You’re really reaching today. Bored? Tired? Disgruntled? Disappointed? I mean, if you’re so happy about ‘winning’ then why do you rant here mindlessly without even having one coherent point whatsoever.
Yaknow, for supposedly being such ‘happy-shiny-winners’, you Libs sure seem like a cranky bunch. Don’t you have a Huffpo/DailyKos/head-in-sand meeting to attend?
YOUR white-American president is a traitor to MY country. He is willing to throw AMERICA under the bus for his own personal ego-trip.
Get used to us trash-talking that mental-midget because you lefties have trash talked enough Conservative presidents to last a life-time so don’t play all ‘innocent’ now that you have your own moron who is all to easy to laugh at. Hell’s Bells! 0bama makes Bush look like a freaking GENIUS by comparison.
Delia–attagirl…I too wish sheesh would shush or simply sip a slurpy and bug off…but that’s that’s what they do, leak venom and wreck stuff. God made flies too.
PS I should say, sit silently sipping their socialist slurpy…and bug off!
From a foreigners perspective, it says a lot about this medium that you seem incapable of discussing the POTUS without messing around with his name and/or the office of the president.. “TeleBama”, “Your Glorious Leader”, “Obummer” etc. etc. etc. We have some lunatic fringe elements on the left as well, “BushHitler” was usually a clear sign that the person writing wasnt too good in the head. But with you republicans it seems more and more as if the former fringe is now the majority. And youre about to become the lynch-mob party of spluttering rage and derision, the party of Glenn Beck and hysterical rhetoric. Wich will destroy the GOP.
Terrorists staying in hotels and co-operating with the recycled Spanish fascists who want to prosecute your own government officials.The sound you Americans are hearing is the whole world laughing
63. fnord,
Oh puhlease! I don’t care if you come from URANUS, if you’re not an American then STFU because you have no right to judge people who are mad as hell at what this BARAT INSANE NOBAMA is doing to our country.
Call us lunatics, wing-nuts, ‘fringe’ wtf-ever. I don’t give a flying crap what YOU think of US. Got it, Buster? When you see your beloved country being turned on its axis into a third-world-socialist sh*t-hole by an ego-maniac bumbling cretin, you tend to get UPSET.
Sheesh: At what point in my rant did I defend the Bush administration? However, since you brought it up, I hope you can at least acknowledge that we’ve been kept safe from further terrorist attacks since 9/11.
You’re talking about the past 30 years – I’m talking about the past 70 years. More importantly, I’m talking about the Constitution of the United States and the Declaration of Independence.
Do you really believe Obama’s agenda is to create more freedom for American people? How is that accomplished? It’s a historical given that as the government grows, liberty shrinks.
Please, go out and visit some former citizens of communist Russia, and ask them if they think having a state controlled life is liberating. Ask them what they think of “spreading the wealth” and how it affected their daily lives.
The Constitution is a contract between “us” and “them.” Believe it or not, you are one of “us.” The politicians are “them.” It’s to keep them from becoming tyrants. The whole point of America is to NOT turn its citizens into subjects of the state.
Obama is trying to implement new programs when we have, literally, hundreds of current programs whose work is superfluous and whose operations are inefficient, at best. Don’t you agree that it would be best to clean out the old furniture before moving the new stuff in?
Why attempt these grandiose schemes right now, when our economy is in peril? Why not wait until we see some recovery: people investing once again, saving once again, WORKING once again.
Sure, some of his programs may “create or save” some jobs, but it won’t be enough to offset the rising unemployment. And where is it written that it’s the government’s job to employ the population, just for employment’s sake?
Every new program, every new bill and piece of legislation is costing US money. Every bail out (some of which have now proven to be utter failures) comes out of your paycheck.
We are on dangerous ground when our government steps in and assumes control of private industry. Perhaps it wouldn’t feel so threatening if Obama’s approach was initiated as a stop-gap measure, but his proposal for government intervention is long term – with strings.
If we don’t come together, as a group of concerned Americans, we may very well see a day soon when it really will be “us against them.” You’ve got your team all wrong – it isn’t the management who wins the football game, it’s the players.
I’m going to leave you with the link to a video that I hope you’ll watch. Try to overlook the bizarre intro. (an old PBS production) and pay attention to what Milton Friedman is saying in this video – I’m sure you’ll find that you are actually in agreement with much of his philosophy:

I frefer you to post #17 by 888. Read it…try to understand it (for you, understanding it may be a bit of a stretch !). I have researched the subject extensively, myself. All that 888 states is absolutely true. Take off your blinders-the Ursurper-in-chief is, quite possibly, the worst thing that has happened to my beloved country since its founding.

I too should have paid closer attention during typing class – I meant “refer”, obviously.

8. The Shadow:
Delia – I can’t wait until the day you reach the age when you become eligible for Medicare. It will be interesting to see how quickly you will change your tune. I don’t know any of my friend who have complained any more about Medicare than they use to complain about their private insurance coverage.
Shadow, I worked in the health care industry for many years, in a physicians office in his billing department and at a hospital as the Medical Staff Assistant for over 300 physicians.
The physician was an ENT and I had to constantly fight with Medicare regarding approval of needed medical care for the older patients. Do you really want that? Being turned down by the “government” for needed care? I don’t!
At the hospital the physicians (especially the ones in Geriatric Medicine) were constantly at battle with Medicaid. Do you know that if an elderly patient is admitted for hip replacement and then it is found that they have pneuomonia that Medicare won’t pay for the pneuomonia treatment unless they are discharged and readmitted with a new diagnosis? So the physician must decide what they want to treat…
This generated tons of paperwork and added to the cost of the hospital stay. If the physician didn’t discharge and readmit the patient, Medicare didn’t pay for the care of the second diagnosis.
You can have your Medicare for all! I don’t want it.
Oh yeah, Medicaid was even worse!
69. Ms. Attitude,
AMEN, Sista! Spoken from someone who has first-hand experience of Medicare! What a red-tape nightmare!
Can you imagine babies and young adults getting that same kind of ‘care’? UGH! What a JOKE!
Canadians come HERE for health care because their socialist health-care is horrible. HELLO?
Libtards are such suckers and we’re all going to pay for the sucker punch.
J-Rub spews: “Minority Leader John Boehner and Pete Hoekstra, ranking Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, have turned out a new video. “Do you feel safer?” ”
yes, showing images of 9/11 – when we had a Republican congress and White house, is a great way to get Americans asking questions – questions like: hey, Wasn’t John Bohener a part of the Republican majoirty that failed us on the most important national security issue of the day? Hmmmmmmm….
“So Republicans likely will make the most impact by sticking to the specific policies rather than roaming through the panoply of conservative complaints about Obama’s entire approach to foreign policy”
Right – Republicans should stick to being the party of torture – wait until Obama releases enough memos to prove that we got nothing substantial from waterboarding (because we all know if a major plot was disrupted, the Bush white House would’ve leaked that years ago) – wait until a video or photos come out of a real torture session – wait until one of our troops is captured and subjected to “enhanced interrogation” and “confesses” to war crimes or whatever – that will look GREAT for your side – which is do SO WELL these days…
“By the way, Rush made quite a call to action to the Repubs today, saying Oblather is very vulnerable rt now.”
Can’t you just FEEL Obama’s vulnerability! Keep looking to Rush for political advice – PLEASE!!!!
71. Delia:

Some do. I was chatting with a pediatric medical specialist, whom I’ve known for over 20 years. She HATES dealing with the government insurance programs. It is so hard for her to get the appropriate treatment for these special needs children. They refuse to pay for the tests she wants, unless she does a bunch of other tests first – well, she knows what she’s looking for won’t s how up, except on the tests she orders – but the government won’t pay for those. In the end, it costs twice as much and takes four times as long.
TAX CUTS FOR 95% OF AMERICANS?
My backside! Lies the left tells.
http://greensrealworld.blogspot.com/2009/05/lie-tax-cut-for-95-of-americans.html
I should add – four times as long allows for conditions to deteriorate so more extensive (re: costly) care may be needed.
After my mother’s first TIA – I went online to do research. Very glad she was in the US – in UK, it takes MONTHS for a TIA patient to get in for followup – during which time, many die or are permanently disabled from a full blown stroke. Yeah, such great medical care.
Warpublican
wait until one of our troops is captured and subjected to “enhanced interrogation” and “confesses” to war crimes or whatever
We dont have to wait, they already kill our troops that are captured,usually through horrific methods if they are not rescued. But we don’t here the liberals wanting justice for our soldiers.

75. ked5,
YIKES! Excellent add-on points about the special needs children, ked5 and I’m glad your mother was able to get proper treatment. Who knows what kind of treatment ‘we’ will have when our time comes that we need serious medical care.

76. The Historian,
Wow! Great article. Thank you for sharing. The classic ‘bait and switch’ game from the Libtards. It’s enough to make my blood boil. Utterly sickening. Sham wow!
So the FBI is out searching for terrorists inside America who may be planning to kill, and the administration is releasing terrorists into America so they can plan to kill.
Something just isn’t right in the head with these people.
The video stinks. It has about the lowest Y-tube rating possible.
American’s are tired of foreign entanglements. Unless there is another significant terrorist attack in America and Hussein then responds like a pantywaist this issue is a really stupid one to attack Hussein on.
The place to attack him is on the economy and his communisism. The GOP should now be sending out messages about the upcoming hyper-inflation and the upcoming failed National Health Care system in that order.
Attacking Hussein’s foreign policy at this point is just stupid.
82. John Galt:
“Attacking Hussein’s foreign policy at this point is just stupid.”
~
I don’t know about that, JG. Even though I concur that we are being attacked from the inside by our own TOTUS and his cronies, I do ALSO fear what the bumbler will do regarding our foreign security. When the Islamists start loading up on nukes, you can bet yer bippy those psycho jihadists will use them without a moment’s hesitation. Hell, these are people that will strap bombs on their own person’s and go “KABOOM!”, so I’m not exactly feeling to ‘cozy’ with how 0bama is handling things regarding his ‘supposed’ foreign policy.
The train is already off the tracks regarding 0bama and pals as far as what he deems his ‘mandate’ and therefore there’s not a lot we can do about UNdoing what he’s started now. If we could impeach the whole lot of ‘em I’m not sure who could step in and rescue us from the free-fall into oblivion? Any suggestions?
Good God! The “chink” happens to be his QUALIFICATIONS”!
But this isn’t obvious; Ha, ha, ha,ha, ha!
84. Cybergeezer,
Qualifications? Please CG, don’t imply that B00Bama had/has any inkling of qualifications at all to us zetetic thinkers.
You know and I know ZERO has absolutely NONE.
Meanwhile, a good portion of America fawn over this evil slime-ball with eyes wide shut.
John Galt @ 82: “Attacking Hussein’s foreign policy at this point is just stupid.”
Okay, how about Defense spending. He wants to cut the F-22 Raptor project which employs about 95,000. In a time when jobs are precious? What is wrong with that picture?
And the F-22 will provide air superiority for years to come. See these:
“The Russian Philosophy of Beyond Visual Range Air Combat”:

“Why America Needs More F-22 Raptors”:
http://www.ausairpower.net/raptor.html
From the Australians no less!
Warpublican,
you do realize just how sophomoric and brainwashed you sound? You are actually defending the release of jihadists who want to kill Americans. You are defending the tenfold increase in federal spending that will bankrupt us all. You are glib in a political victory that is advocating the government takeover of American industry – the same path Mussolini undertook in Italy in the thirties. If you are young, as I suspect you are, you need to man up and think for yourself. If you are the typical Commie geezer with the half-bald pony tailed head bitter at the world, then do us all a favor – its Seppuku time.
#45 sheesh
Same type of distraction…..Sean Hannity is not POTUS, just like Palin wasn’t running for Pres. But, that was an incredibly good try to deflect the real problem…..Obama and Holder

You’re right: nobody listens to fools.
