Obama '08?

Seems to me he was above the law.

He broke more than any other president...

Obama is so intoxicated with himself that he actually believes he can have some sort of alchemistic effect on the world through the power of his words and personage.

What should really concern us is the degree to which his self-opinion informs his judgment. Notice how, in his speech, he offers as proof of the basic goodness of America, his decisions in the first nine months of his presidency. Notice how often he uses the pronoun "I."

There is one thing of which we can be sure, Obama does not see himself as a servant of the United States.

When a nation's leader begins to consider themselves larger than the nation they lead there is nothing but trouble to be found.

I appreciate that your are attempting to be clever, but do you know how revealing (in a not-so-good way) this comment actually is?

Sounds like Bush Jr; he believed he was above domestic and international laws.

That's it? That's your contribution?

A contiguous Palestinian state requires a divided Israel. Look at a map of the region and explain how it can be otherwise.

"The point of departure for permanent status negotiations to realise this vision seems clear: there should be an end to the occupation that began in 1967," he said.

Now, the vision of the Palestinian state is one of contiguous territory. In other words, as I said earlier in my administration, I said, Swiss cheese isn't going to work when it comes to the outline of a state. And I mean that. There is no way that this good man can assure the Palestinians of a hopeful future if there's not contiguous territory. And we -- that position is abundantly clear to both sides. Therefore, the ultimate vision, of course, is there be no checkpoints throughout the Palestinian state-to-be.

revel, there are nutcases in all areas of the political spectrum. There were people trying to kill every president, that includes Ford, Reagan, Bush, etc., so the idea that things like this are somehow new, that is bogus.

Also, and this stems from my distrust of the left, we already know that the smashing of Demcratic office in Denver was done by a Democrat political operative. The very very few, extremely small percentage of hateful over the tope signs at tea parties, I think it is a possiblity that some have been planted by Democratic operatives, perhaps not all, but certainly the possiblity of some of that.

Violence should be condemned, no matter the source, and for the most part the violence of leftists are typically more ignored than we begin to hear now. I have seen tea party demonstrators and they are all normal looking people of all colors and types, many of which have never demonstrated before in their lives, but are getting very concerned over the direction of the country. They are not your typical "rent-a-mob" that you see at leftist demonstrations.

Q: Is ACORN providing workers for the 2010 census?

A: No. ACORN employees will not be taking the census. The group is one of more than 30,000 "partners" that will help publicize the event.

In any case, they have been egged on by the likes of Glen Beck and mostly Rep. Michele Bachmann.

Baloney. So any criticism of Obama is now labeled as "egging on" protests?

Actually at that point I was not talking about criticism of Obama, all presidents should be held accountable and face criticism from voters. I was talking about Michele Bachmann's long summer ranting about census workers with lots of unfounded wild claims perhaps adding to a mood that seems to be out there and some of getting out of hand.

Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., says Americans should refuse to comply with the Obama administration’s 2010 census because the data could be used for nefarious purposes, including the imprisonment of Americans in internment camps.


Appearing on Fox News, Bachmann said it was the census that allowed the internment of the Japanese during World War II. She also boasted about breaking the law in refusing to complete the census form she received.


“If we look at American history -- between 1942 and 1947 -- the data that was collected by the Census Bureau was handed over to the FBI and other organizations at the request of President Roosevelt,” Bachmann said.


“That’s how the Japanese were rounded up and put into the internment camps. I’m not saying that’s what the administration is planning to do. But I am saying that private, personal information that was given to the Census Bureau in the 1940s was used against Americans to round them up.”


Bachmann said she was shocked that the census would ask for people’s telephone numbers. Although not required by law, the numbers are used only to contact recipients who have incomplete forms.


Bachmann also doesn’t like the fact the census asks about one’s age, race, and the type of home one lives in. According to the Census Bureau, questions on race have been asked since 1790; home language since 1890; rent since 1880; and income since 1940. The Census Bureau has asked what kind of heating fuel heats Americans’ homes since 1940.
