Imagine that, a political issue taking up the time of the President.

It wouldn't have taken ANY time, if the Obama camp hadn't lied about not having had any contacts with Blago.

Precious! Golem, Golem.

Precious Bodily Fluids.

I cant wait to see the MSM turn on this putz and watching him turn into a broken shell of a man.

All energy of all human beings is precious. Sheesh.

re: #3 buzzsawmonkey

[after learning of the Doomsday Machine]
President Merkin Muffley: But this is absolute madness, Ambassador! Why should you *build* such a thing?
Ambassador de Sadesky: There were those of us who fought against it, but in the end we could not keep up with the expense involved in the arms race, the space race, and the peace race. At the same time our people grumbled for more nylons and washing machines. Our doomsday scheme cost us just a small fraction of what we had been spending on defense in a single year. The deciding factor was when we learned that your country was working along similar lines, and we were afraid of a doomsday gap.
President Merkin Muffley: This is preposterous. I've never approved of anything like that.
Ambassador de Sadesky: Our source was the New York Times.

You know what, he got himself involved with the corruption and is possibly corrupt himself, so it's his own damned fault for stepping in the manure. You cannot wade through pig manure and come out smelling clean.

re: #3 buzzsawmonkey

re: #8 Charles

/too quick on the draw for me

This level of adulation is nauseous.

If Obama had just been honest about his contacts with Blago from the beginning he might not have had to spend as much time on it. His first impulse seems to be to lie. Sounds like he's copying our 42nd president in more ways than just his cabinet.

Here's my latest Barry O tribute - this thread seems as appropriate as any:

(To the tune of Grandma got run over by a reindeer)

Chorus:
Grandma got thrown under the campaign bus
by The One on last election eve
you may say she's just typical whitey
but as for me an Oprah we believe

She helped to raise little Barry
with his single commie mom
So he ended up in college
tutored by an activist who was 'da bomb

There he met his future partner
the strong and silent type was she
She gave him his introduction to
black liberation theology

Chorus:
Grandma got thrown under the campaign bus
by The One on last election eve
you may say she's just typical whitey
but as for me an Oprah we believe

You may say it was self loathing
or political expediency
by denying his own background
he shored up his race for the presidency

Now the president elect
on his trip to Hawaii
showed off his physique in all the papers
and tossed dear granny's ashes in the sea

Chorus:
Grandma got thrown under the campaign bus
by The One on last election eve
you may say she's just typical whitey
but as for me an Oprah we believe

He displays the first instinct of a lawyer and that is to not to admit to anything and produce any evidence about anything. He clouded his eligibility to be president with this instinct and has done the same with the Blago problem.

Presidents are as popular as the economy. Clinton had a booming economy. If the economy recovers in 2009, Obama will get a prolonged honeymoon. If the economy continues to struggle in 2009 and Obama is forced to cut taxes to re-ignite growth (especially taxes on the wealthy) then the press will turn on him.

You have the sarc tag, but I still need to respond...Obama's tax policy campaign promises are stupid on a gargantuan level.

He promised 95% of us a tax cut even though 40% of us pay no taxes...so he basically promised welfare payments. The 5% that pay 50% of the taxes were promised a tax increase.

An increase in welfare is basically subsidizing unproductive behavior and will result in more unproductive behavior.

The increase in taxes promised on the 5% who are the most productive in society will basically result in less productivity.

Most 911 systems have long upgraded to E-911. Basically an advance caller ID with no blocking. Not only is the calling phone number displayed, but address and registered owner instantly. The info is pushed to another computer which displays closest available units. Two operators working a call, the second one is dispatching units within seconds of a call coming in.

re: #156 jwb7605

If only that were true.
Obama daily will be praised because all new information obtained after January 20 will begin by pointing out some "improvement in the area of ...".

There is always a honeymoon period (except for GWB, due to the circumstances of his election), and Obama will try to pin all economic weakness on GWB for as long as he can. That's the way the game is played, and it will work for six months to a year. After that he will get pilloried.

Mmmm bacon. Bacon bacon bacon! (Bacon Bits dog food commercial)

re: #151 DeafDog

There is no black and white in America, just green.

Carter's economy sucked ---> Carter was out. Reagan's econo0my was great ---> Reagan is beloved. The economy stumbled while GHWB was in office, GHWB was voted out. Clinton's popularity soared with the economy. GWB's popularity faded with the Economy.

Obama will be no different.

Sure many people vote thier pocket books... but there are also other factors.
The economy can't help but improve from where it is.
We will be leaving Iraq during his administration, thanks to Pres Bush's perseverance and the military.
With Iraq behind us, we will be able to put more forces in Afghanistan, which very likely will reverse the difficulty we are experiencing on the ground.
With a friendly press the Obama administration will be difficult to defeat in 4 years, trust me.

The cult of personality surrounding this corrupt Chicago politician is downright scary. Pictures of the dude, shirtless (that's scary enough), plastered across the internet.

Frowns that the Anointed One has to have his time wasted with investigations into some bothersome corruption scandal.

re: #167 shanec99

The economy can't help but improve from where it is.

Give it some protectionist trad policies and a nice round of tax increases - as was proposed by Obama during the campaign - and the economy can sink much further

Foreign policy under Obama scares the heck out of me.
Regarding Iraq - There is still plenty of chances for him to fumble the ball in Iraq, which could lead to disaster. The troops need to stay there till the situation is clearly irreverable, IMO.

Afghanastan is a difficult battlefield to interpret. Because he was so right in Iraq, I listen to Michael Yon, who thinks the slog in Afghanastan will be decades long. Does Obama have the will to stick that out? I do not know, but I doubt it.

Mind - we've had such a charmer in office here as well, he was called Tony Blair ... they are dangerous people, because they do not empathise and have only regard for themselves.

Yeah, but by the time the US media was done with the women who had accused Pres Clinton (calling them bimboes, etc) a big portion of the population did not consider them credible, so there was no ground swell to have their story told.

So, when is the left going to bitch about Rick Warren's barking mad creationism? There is still not a word on this from James Randi Educational Foundation president and prominent Obama supporterPhil Plait, who can normally be relied on to root out all signs of creation-nuttery in public life.
The media have felt obligated to report on Warren's gay-bashing, since not even Obama teflon is proof against the wrath of that privileged subcult, but they will obviously go no farther than required.
Bottom line: Their devotion to the messiah trumps even their hatred for Christian fundamentalists. That, my scaly colleagues, is saying a lot.

Presidents are as popular as the economy. Clinton had a booming economy. If the economy recovers in 2009, Obama will get a prolonged honeymoon. If the economy continues to struggle in 2009 and Obama is forced to cut taxes to re-ignite growth (especially taxes on the wealthy) then the press will turn on him.

To use a sports analogy, the fans may boo with a quarterbacks replacement, but if he scores a touchdown, the mood shifts even he he was not your guy.

The One a political blip.

The Dean was a mighty doctor man,
Billary brave and sure.
Our candidates set sail that day
For a four year rule, a four year rule.

Party unity started getting rough,
Race and sex lines were crossed,
If not for the backing of the biased press,
The Party could be lost, the Party could be lost.

The winner came down to Hope and Change, an inexperienced profile
That's Obama
Joe Biden, too,
The "First Black Pres" and his wife,
The movie stars
Rev' 'Em Wright and Ayers, man,
Here on "Obama's Isle."

So this is the tale of today's Dems,
They were a cinch back before Palin's time,
They'll have to make the best of things,
It's now a real climb.

Obama and stale Biden, too,
Will do their very best,
To make voters uncomfortable.
Topics: despair and hopelessness.

No phone, no lights, no motor cars,
Not a single luxury,
For everyone but Al Gore,
Thank Bush's non-Green economy.

So join us here each week, comrades.
You're sure to get a smile,
From truths, justice, and throw-aways (under buses),
Here on "Obama's Isle."
