One really needs to hold his nose reading Okie. He gets more vile and putrid by the moment.

And then we have MM who thinks he is a constitutional scholar, although his writing is that of a five-year-old.

Quote:

Palin, Brown, and the Tea Partiers have no economic plan, except for the failed Bush policies.

...and the diehard Teddy liberals of Massachusetts voted for them!! LMAO!!!!!

So, the failed Bush policies must be better than the "hope" of the Nobel Prize winner!

what is putrid is the idea that our president learned his politics from Jeremiah Wright, Saul Alinsky, and other Marxists, and the guy actually got elected. But maybe people are starting to wake up from the media induced trance that somehow cast a spell over people to make them believe something very very far fetched, that Obama was a centrist, a moderate, and that he was something more than a cheap Chicago agitator that believes in wealth redistribution, hates businesses and free markets, and apologizes for America everywhere the man goes.

When asked to prove their claim that Obama has taken away their freedoms, they have never shown one incident of such an idiotic idea. None, never, nada.

Obama didn't listen to the people, and he lost. That's what Bush did, and the country almost died.

Well finally,cice, you admit--or rather, logically imply-- Obama's amplified emulations of Bush's errors, if continued, will cause the country to finally die.

for this and that protection of us poor, stupid folks from the evil effects of our own free choices.).

Obama’s plight has been unchanged for months. Neither in action nor in message is he in front of the anger roiling a country where high unemployment remains unchecked and spiraling foreclosures are demolishing the bedrock American dream of home ownership. The president is no longer seen as a savior but as a captive of the interests who ginned up the mess and still profit, hugely, from it.

That’s no place for any politician of any party or ideology to be. There’s a reason why the otherwise antithetical Leno and Conan camps are united in their derision of NBC’s titans. A TV network has become a handy proxy for every mismanaged, greedy, disloyal and unaccountable corporation in our dysfunctional economy. It’s a business culture where the rich and well-connected get richer while the employees, shareholders and customers get the shaft. And the conviction that the game is fixed is nonpartisan. If the tea party right and populist left agree on anything, it’s that big bailed-out banks have and will get away with murder while we pay the bill on credit cards " with ever-rising fees.

As is usually the case when the public speaks this loudly, the people are right: The process that has produced the House and Senate bills has been an abomination. The voters sent Obama to Washington to lead, not to engage in endless horse-trading. When Sen. Ben Nelson demanded a tax exemption for his state of Nebraska as the price of his vote, that should have been a sign to the White House that the process had gone haywire. Instead, the administration agreed to similar buy-offs for the insurance industry and labor unions.
