His energy plan is wind and solar, that's it.

No nuclear, no drilling...just wind and solar.

Did any of you just hear me scream when he said he has done more for health care in 30 days than any one else has done in a decade?!

He will cure cancer in our time!

Makes sense, after all he is the Obamessiah.

"A promise we will make to the children of America."
Promise to let Iran get nukes. Promise to turn this country into a banana republic. Promise to take 2/3 of all the money you make for Pelosi and Reid's pet projects.

I was only half kidding with the Wo Fat joke on the nirth thread...regardless of whether he was born in Hawaii or Kenya, he is a tool of anti-American interests...I am convinced of that.

Dropping out of high school not an option? I thought it was a free country.

773 mrgreen  Tue, Feb 24, 2009 6:50:28pm

Wow... the Dem applaudse for O's comment about supporting charter schools was painfully strained.

774 axegrinder  Tue, Feb 24, 2009 6:50:44pm

We r so screwed. Where do you go to organize collective acts of civil disobedience? Say, like, refusing to pay income taxes?

Obligatory Teddy Kennedy reference.

776 Opinionated  Tue, Feb 24, 2009 6:50:57pm

This is not a State of the Union.

This is a speech to Iowa and New Hampshire true believers Democrats to get votes in the Democrat primary.

Compared with the United States, 12 countries spent a higher percentage of their GDP on elementary and secondary education, and 16 countries spent a lower proportion on education.

Yet we need to spend more.
and so on. and so on. and so on.
Lets be number one in spending! Go Obamai!

Been catching up on email and watching 'Diehard 9 or 10' (I've lost track).
Any references to our promised Unicorns yet ?

782 Natasha  Tue, Feb 24, 2009 6:55:54pm

He is talking about "waste, fraud and abuse" in the Defense Department? You rotten communist SOB, how about talking about the same in your own damn party? Oh... I need a drink... [deleted] [deleted] [deletingly] [deleted]

re: #727 Hugh_Mon

God, he's going on about China.

Perhaps we should start harvesting the organs of prisoners like China, thus bringing together his love of the Chicomms and health care.

I'm tellin' ya, he's controlled by Wo Fat!

This self adulation is worse than the Oscars. Nearly an hour of hot air. He could fill up the Goodyear limp.

Thank God it's over.

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

Six o'clock - TV hour. Don't get caught in foreign tower. Slash and burn,
return, listen to yourself churn. Lock him in uniform
and book burning,
blood letting. Every motive escalate. Automotive incinerate. Light a candle,
light a motive. Step down, step down. Watch a heel crush, crush. Uh oh,
this means no fear - cavalier. Renegade and steer clear! A tournament,
a tournament, a tournament of lies. Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives
and I decline.

It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it.
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine.

The other night I tripped a nice continental drift divide. Mount St. Edelite.
Leonard Bernstein. Leonid Breshnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs.
Birthday party
, cheesecake, jelly bean, boom! You symbiotic, patriotic,
slam, but neck, right? Right.

Heh... Long ago, when Soviet "leaders" made speeches on TV, there were "trained monkeys" in the audience to applaud on cue, regardless of how stupid the sentence was... This whole business reminded me of that. The parallels are uncanny, and I would laugh, if only this was not happening to the country I love and call my true home.

The weight of this crisis will not determine the destiny of this nation.

How many times times did he use the word crisis?

Reagan is turning over in his grave - or getting out of it.
