For instance he is drawing up an Enemies List, such as Nixon was reported to have. Names: Rush Limbaugh, Fox News Network, all the folks in the central part of the country who "cling to" guns and religion, (additions sure to follow). I guess Arlen's name won't be on it.

What is this guy 100? (he's 79 I think) I watched his little press conferences and was holding my breathe waiting for him to keel over or at least finish a sentence. No matter what, no great loss. Would be funny however if this little stodger becomes the one to take the One down!! Sounds like Obama is going to make SURE he gets re-elected. Gosh just think of that... (yes it's scary-wonder how Obama can be so sure-oh right I remember now-ACORN) But Spectacle is a bit of a gumby-never know what he's gonna do next. I found it odd that everyone was reporting so OPENLY that he did this to get re-elected? Gosh I must have had some vague notion that these guys were in it for the principle of it. HA HA HA!! Cracking myself up! (too much news-brain is wet) Since we dont’ have term limits, we need to at least make these guys retire at age 65! What is this guy 100?

Everybody knows he did it because he was down 21% in the polls leading-up to the GOP primary for his seat- and Joey Pluggs made a deal with him, he already admitted as such. The sad truth is that this hack has spent three decades in the Senate, while accomplishing little. And Barack and him have a lot in common- as unprincipled political opportunists, I’m sure they’ll get along just great. Just a little over a month ago, the Senator said in an interview that he wouldn’t switch parties due to the importance of checks and balances. And back in 2001, Sen. Arlen Specter, then a Republican, proposed a rule forbidding party switches… he was upset when Vt Sen. Jim Jeffords’ left the GOP to become an independent. Who knows what the truth is with this guy, you’ll never get it from him. With all due respect, Senator- don’t let the door hit your butt on the way out. Nobody on our side’s going to miss you.

PAR: So that makes Fox the mainstream media. So you can't blame the media any longer for shaping politics or policy against the right. I guess that means you're back to blaming gays and dark people. Good luck with that. 114. PAR: So that makes Fox the mainstream media. So you can’t blame the media any longer for shaping politics or policy against the right.

Even Cartoon Network has succumbed to terrible leadership. Jamie Lynn Spears hands them ratings on a silver platter (her pregnancy scandal prompted many parents to ban Nickelodeon in their houses), but they pulled Code Lyoko off the air instead of letting it run opposite Spongebob. Only in rare occasions is there anything good on CN before midnight. Turner Broadcasting has been totally mismanaged. Even Cartoon Network has succumbed to terrible leadership.

Maybe you should brush up on your addition. We can work on subtraction next week. While you're at it check out the polls on each item in BO's agenda. Those opposing outnumber the supporters on nearly every issue. As for the Communist News Network and the idiots on MSNBC, I thought they were comedy channels. I do tune in for a laugh now and then, but I'm sure you watch the cartoon channel as well. Someone 75

Seems a psych eval is in order no matter how one leans, left or right. His comments from three weeks ago versus his decision to switch suggest he is suffering from dementia or has become unhinged. If a psych eval confirms either instance of mental impairment, he is not qualified to hold office as a member of any party and should be forced to step down. I feel embarassed for our system of democracy.
