A President for the people, not the predators
"They were hoping that everybody else would make sacrifices, and they would have to make none. Some demanded twice the return that other lenders were getting. I don’t stand with them. I stand with Chrysler’s employees and their families and communities. I stand with Chrysler’s management, its dealers, and its suppliers. I stand with the millions of Americans who own and want to buy Chrysler cars."Man, that's a big 'change' we can believe in! Does Obama actually mean he is going to stand with the Chrysler employees over the hedge funders? You gotta be shittin' me...
We should all be thankful for that 'change'.
Well, it was actually $1.4 trillion, Mr. President
OBAMA: "Number one, we inherited a $1.3 trillion deficit.... That wasn't me.
Educating the ignorant. Backing it up with the facts.
Geez dumbasses, at least try to get your dates right
"How could Sheikh Mohammed's water-boarded confession have prevented the Library Tower attack if the Bush administration "broke up" that attack during the previous year? It couldn't, of course.How much funnier can it get than watching wingnuts hilariously claim that waterboarding Khalid Sheikh Mohammed prevented the 'alleged' attack on the Library Tower in Los Angeles? The plot, according to the Bush administration was 'foiled' in February 2002 and KSM wasn't captured until March 2003. It sucks to be them.
How's that working out for you, asshole?
The Architect and his 'permanent Republican majority'
Less than a quarter of all voters call themselves Republicans, a number that has dropped precipitously over the past six years, according to a new analysis. In more than 7,000 interviews conducted by the Pew Research Center in 2009, just 23 percent of voters self-identify as members of the Grand Old Party. That's down from 30 percent as recently as 2004, and the trend shows no signs of slowing.
Why does Obama smile at dictators?
I dunno. Smiling at, and shaking hands with dictators is simply unprecedented in our nation's history.The continuation of Wingnut lunacy
According to the police report, Elizabeth Cartwright said her husband "believed that the US Government was conspiring against him. She said he had been severely disturbed that Barack Obama had been elected President." It isn't the first shooting incident in recent weeks after which a crazed gunman's political ravings have made headlines. On April 4, after Richard Poplawski killed three police officers, several of Poplawski's friends told the Associated Press that Poplawski "feared the Obama administration was poised to ban guns."
The scared, the angry, the irrelevant, the losers who can't stand the thought of a Black man being in charge.
The biggest decline since ... well, last quarter
Slowly pulling out of the Bush Recession
The last six months were brutal. Output fell at a 6.1 percent annual rate in the January-through-March quarter after falling at a rate of 6.3 percent in last year’s fourth quarter, according to the Commerce Department.
I heard a lot rumbling (and saw a few headlines) from the ignorant and the revisionists the other day about how the 6.1% was the biggest fall in GDP in 51 years. No it wasn't. Bush's previous quarter may have been.
Souter to retire from Supreme Court
WASHINGTON - Supreme Court Justice David Souter plans to retire, after more than 19 years on the court, once the current term ends in late June, NBC News reported Thursday night.
Fuck that, let's get some of those tired-ass, Anti-Constitutional Nazis out of there!

"It feels great to be home. With the exception of Rush Limbaugh who is trying to make this into a race issue. It's disgusting. The president did the right thing. It's a war. It's about good versus evil. And what you (Limbaugh) said is evil, that is hate speech. I won't tolerate it," [Shane 'A Great American'] Murphy said.Rebuilding America
In a speech to the members of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), President Obama pledged to commit 3% of the U.S. gross domestic product to scientific research, development, and education, an amount that exceeds scientific funding during the height of the space race with the former Soviet Union in 1964. "This represents the largest commitment to scientific research and innovation in American history," he said, referring to funding plans outlined in the Recovery Act and his proposed budget. - InformationWeek
Another casualty of the Iraq Invasion
The Taliban installed strict Islamic law when it took over Afghanistan after a two-year fight with warlords, many of whom surrendered without a fight. They fought with a coalition of some of those warlords known as the Northern Alliance from 1996 until U.S. forces, seeking the leadership of al Qaeda after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, added bombing raids to Northern Alliance ground operations and successfully drove the Taliban out of most of Afghanistan. But the Taliban regrouped in 2004, launching a guerrilla war against the Afghan government while operating from the tribal areas of that country and Pakistan.
While we ignorantly invaded a country that wasn't a threat we ignored the only war we should have fought.
But I thought it emboldened our enemy?
Gen. David Petraeus, along with a number of other high ranking military officials, believe all the pictures related to allegations of detainee abuse should be released -- a number that would total in the thousands -- a senior defense official close to the U.S. military commander told FOX News.
Once again Petraeus agrees with Obama and slams the chickenhawks and chickenshits on the right.
No they didn't
They only tortured to make us safe
"A former U.S. Army psychiatrist, Maj. Charles Burney, told Army investigators in 2006 that interrogators at the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, detention facility were under "pressure" to produce evidence of ties between al Qaida and Iraq. While we were there a large part of the time we were focused on trying to establish a link between al Qaida and Iraq and we were not successful in establishing a link between al Qaida and Iraq," Burney told staff of the Army Inspector General. "The more frustrated people got in not being able to establish that link . . . there was more and more pressure to resort to measures that might produce more immediate results."
The most costly scam - in blood and treasure - ever perpetuated on America was the invasion of Iraq. How these criminals did what they did proved one thing for sure; when it comes right down to it, 80% of Americans, those who swallowed their nonsense, were sheep.
"But, they've never cured anything"
BRITISH scientists have developed the world’s first stem cell therapy to cure the most common cause of blindness; age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Surgeons predict it will become a routine, one-hour procedure that will be generally available in six or seven years’ time. The treatment involves replacing a layer of degenerated cells with new ones created from embryonic stem cells.
I wonder what all the luddite dumbasses are saying now.
Somebody should tell Condi to take the 5th
"We were told, nothing that violates our obligations under the Convention Against Torture. And so, by definition, if it was authorized by the president, it did not violate our obligations under the Conventions Against Torture."And she'd better hope they don't call her former assistant, Philip Zelikow, as a witness for the prosecution.
Enjoy your Spring.
