Ah, experience the joy of watching feverish political mechanics rush in under the hood to diagnose the tremendous American misfire that is Barack Obama. Heavens no, it can't be him!
He is omnipotent, all things wise and wonderful, and everything to and for everybody without cost, or potential down-side. He is our savior, after all! No, it can't be him.
Sheer blasphemy, that!
And so the fingers start to point, the crosses begin to be built and eventually raised. And soon, the followers and close confidants of the illustrious one must, one by one, meet their demise, strung up for all to see in the sun!
Well, we can hope it becomes a trend, any way. These things often do. Momentum means as much in politics as it does anywhere else. Let's hope the motion continues to be favorable to us, the loyal opposition, so that we might truly crucify liberalism in 2010 and 2012.
Daily Beast: “Why does the Obama administration seem so arrogant and self-satisfied?” It’s Press Secretary’s Robert Gibbs’s fault!


There is a lot of history to the idea that if you want to discredit an ideology, give its adherents power. The world is a messy place. Only the opposition can credibly claim to have the answers.

Can ANYONE name one person associated with the great Xerxes that isn't arrogant or full of themselves?
These Chicago political hacks are "Change" all right.
Watching this White House screw up on things like NTSC DVD's for the queen or allowing congress to dictate the agenda is a hoot!!
Loser in Chief!!!

“God bless him, bless his heart, president of the United States - a total failure, losing all credibility with the American people on the economy, on the war, on energy, you name the subject.” - Nancy Pelosi.
Oh, wait. That was Nancy Pelosi’s assessment of George W. Bush last July.

Nice post Hyman Roth. I thought your took a bullet from the Corleone Family as you got off the plane from Cuba in GF II.
Natzi Pelosi was being ironic and foreshadowing in her July 2008 statement.

Wally says that Xerxes ... "has too much faith in bipartisan negotiations"
How can you not choke on your own bile when you say something as stupid as that?
Please give some examples of Xerxes EVER following thru on his claim to be "bipartisan". The guy has always voted liberal and his Illinois record of voting "present" is so legendary even the New York Slimes had to comment on it.
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/20/us/politics/20obama.html
His voting record in the US Senate was rated "the most liberal"

I realize that the Koolaid tastes great but at least use some intellectual honesty for Chris's sake!!
He has made NO effort to be inclusive of the Republicans. Sorry but having some members over for some Kobe beef on the taxpayers dime doesn't count!!

"Welcome to the Monkey House" takes place in a dystopian future,
a setting that is very common in Kurt Vonnegut's short stories.
In this one, the world has become very overpopulated, and the government is forced to take drastic actions. This involves a two pronged attack.
The government encourages the citizens to painlessly end their lives in "ethical suicide parlors," and they're given "ethical birth control pills" which don't do anything to affect reproduction, but instead take all the pleasure out of sex.
Someone who refuses to take the pills is called a nothinghead.
The story centers around Nancy, a suicide parlor hostess who is kidnapped by the infamous nothinghead Billy the Poet, and taken to his hideout, where he rapes her. Nancy is very angry about this, but Billy says that eventually she will come to thank him.
Billy is shown as not a twisted rapist who wants a sexual harem, but instead a good-natured freedom fighter trying to open the eyes of the citizens who for so long have had their rights taken away.
He then leaves the room but leaves behind a bottle of pills with a note on it saying "Welcome to the Monkey House."
GEEZ! Nancy raped by Billy who doesn't much fancy standing in front of a death panel--Was Vonnegut a Prophet or what?

bipartisan negotiations?
http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/current_events/healthcare/august_2009/54_say_passing_no_healthcare_reform_better_than_passing_congressional_plan
"Thirty-five percent (35%) of American voters say passage of the bill currently working its way through Congress would be better than not passing any health care reform legislation this year. However, a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that most voters (54%) say no health care reform passed by Congress this year would be the better option."
obama wins the election on the mandate of 52.9%, yet not passing healthcare is even more popular than the messiah, at 54%, with 11% still undecided.
it's pretty clear that the admin stopped listening to the "will of the people", starting 1/20/09.
don't let me stop them from hammering home that point.

let's flip the coin, and look at how popular the congressional bid for healthcare reform is...
abc/wapo poll question:
"All in all, considering the costs to the United States versus the benefits to the United States, do you think the war with Iraq was worth fighting, or not?"
gosh golly, 34% approval.
this has to be the stupidest administration in history.
forget the warning of running with scissors in one's hand...
the admin is running with them in their mouth.

I suspect counter-revolutionary wreckers have infiltrated the Administration of Dear Leader. The rot may go as high as the Cabinet itself!

I guess "I won." is the new bipartisanship.
Reality is a hard wall to run into, Wally.

Hyman, dude...
I had rated Bush Lite™ as the second-least effective President in my lifetime, "bested" only by Jimmah. This Won, though, is starting to make Carter look astute and competent.

i actually feel bad for the moderate dems.
the one's who are smart enought to figure out where this is heading must hold TWO interventions...
so long as this presidency is 'enabled' by a press who believes, 'he's not that drunk', the individuals who must organize the intervention for the messiah(or more precisely, rahm emmanuel), are sitting in the same bar with their 'friend' who has the problem.
nationalized healthcare? we are all passengers.
