Every omission of DEMOCRAT-CONTROLLED whenever congress (or congressional committee) is highlighted for the latest stupidity is an opportunity lost. Democrats need to be inextricably tied to their nasty deeds. "Democrat-controlled congress" should become semi-automatic usage. There are millions who don't understand that the Dems controlled Congress during the last two years of the Bush administration, and the MSM aren't going to keep them apprised of such facts.

We appreciate you and your work.

It's gonna get better and better. Sooner rather than later (which is any day now), timed to prop up the Dems in the 2010 elections and himself in 2012, Obie will start talking about "responsible spending" and "deficit reduction". Translation: Time to stary cutting Defense and Intelligence/Security budgets. This is classic and inevitable Dem behavior, as social/bureaucratic spending is only ever increased. And what better way to cut "unnecessary" spending than by a drawdown in Iraq and Afghanistan?

He's set the stage. Now the cheap farce will play out.

Obama (through his lapdog Holder) has a selfish, personal political objective in conducting these trials in NY. THERE ARE NO OTHER CONSIDERATIONS. If you don't understand that about Obama by now, you haven't been paying attention.

Obama is the thing that crawled up out of the black radical leftist cesspool of Chicago politics. He was given a clean suit, taught to use the teleprompter, and groomed for the national stage. That's what we got, Jack. That's the POTUS, a bobblehead doll with no real capabilities beyond being a convincing liar.

Delete all after, "Obama said..." Always. It's meaningless, the product of his handlers' advice, the politically-motivated comment du jour. Obama will never say what he really thinks about anything of substance. It would scare the h*ll out of 90% of the country.

Obama is a black radical leftist ideologue. He *will not change* because that is the totality of who and what he is. Those who want to believe he will somehow become a competent President and Commander in Chief are trapped in the same ridiculous "hope and change" mentality that got him elected in the first place. Time for a harsh reality check.

PS

Neither Lincoln nor Roosevelt were "great presidents". They were incompetent leaders who presided over and contributed to the greatest examples ever of American deaths and domestic economic destruction *that continued decades beyond their time in office* ever experienced in the history of this country. Let us not forget who writes the histories.

1. The people we are targeting are enemy combatants, in which case targeting and killing them is all a part of warfare, or

2. They are criminals, in which case killing them is state-sponsored murder.

Their status doesn't magically change when they are captured, and you can't have it both ways. Obama's and Holder's erratic behavior in this sphere is nothing short of completely irrational.

Obama is the equivalent of the charming, devious mail room clerk promoted directly to CEO of a troubled Fortune 100 company and expected to demonstrate his "leadership". 60 million fools believed this to be a realistic scenario.

Apologies to mail room clerks everywhere.

"doing a few things right and then shutting up about it"

You are too kind. The best thing politicians can do when it comes to [business-created] jobs is *nothing*. It's called a free market for a reason, which would be "free from government interference". Pols have been meddling for so long we've forgotten the fundamentals, and "free" has become synonymous with "only a few hundred regulations and restrictions". For the good of the people. Of course.

Too few people understand just what "insurance" is, or how insurance companies operate (or would if it were not for government intervention).

An insurance payment is an probabilistic investment in risk-reduction. You bet the insurance company that you will contract, say, bone cancer; and they bet that you won't. The size of the bet is determined by actuarial tables that identify the probability of a member of an insured group (including you) with certain characteristics contracting the condition at some point in time - and the covered costs if you do.

The broader the group the better, and the smaller the bet. All those insured who do NOT contract the cancer will pay the major treatment costs for those few who do, and the...
