Hey, good one. I use “puppet” for immediate imagery and because it ticks off obots. It’s easier to say than a floating, shape shifting shadow with no substance, which, by golly, I can use for people who think for themselves.

For the run of the mill, uninformed voter, “puppet” gives me an opening to discuss who’s pulling the strings. Bankers.

That word “rule” has been used before to describe what 0 will be doing after the coronation.

This is what narcissists do.

That silly thing called the consitution? I think they threw that out a couple years ago. Pelosi et al just decided they wouldn’t tell us about it just yet!

That must be why Obama sees fit to spend $160,000,000 on his inauguration! Thanks for tightening the belt Odrama! We appreciate it! Sad to think that money might have been wasted on something like fixing our economy! Yep, you’ll print more. I know, I know.

Zeke Emmanuel is Bioethics Director at NIH.

I saw that video of the three of them a while back. I can only conclude Rahm did not want to join Bambi’s administration at first. I also saw a roast during the primary in which Rahm ribbed Bambi for being too soft.

Poor Rahm, he’s going to get thrown under the bus like a lot of people.

They need to put Schlossberg in Judas’s commerce seat. She can travel around the world and we don’t have to hear about her.

WHO IS GOING TO LEASE THE VACANT COMMERCIAL SPACE LEFT AVAILABLE?

Everything is connected. Commercial is taking some huge hits and no one is talking about it. They are acting the same way they did for Residential. ‘Stick head in sand.’ If the occupancy rate drops on these offices and retail spaces, it threatens the owners ability to pay back the loan on the building. Then the threat of default lingers. Throwing this good money after bad is like throwing it in the gutter. Without a strong manufacturing base the interconnectedness is broken.

Ha. Good One. Is Poopelosi the shadow caster?

He is a puppet.

BHO is not a puppet. A puppet has substance, it is made of something, has a consistent definite form, and is three dimensional. BHO is more like a shadow figure cast on a wall which assumes the contours of the surface upon which it is painted. He has not a shape nor color of his own; he is merely the two dimensional after image of how the media wants him to appear to be. He is not even made of model clay. He is something far less tangible, and more easily molded than anything so viscous as clay. Clay can sometimes shave a mind of its own; not Obama.

"Take power?" "Rule"? Where did they find so many Constitutionally ignorant people to help the-guy-who-won't-reveal-his real-name "rule" over us? I knew there would be dire consequences from the Legislative branch of government not enforcing checks and balances on GWB. Now we have another mediocre guy representing the U. S. who spent $800,000 (to date) to keep from showing his birth certificate to anyone in our Justice system! It's a sham, a fraud, a...dare I point it out...a conspiracy!¡!

conspiracy - to join in a secret agreement to do an unlawful or wrongful act or an act which becomes unlawful as a result of a secret agreement, to act in harmony toward a common end..;i.e. to conspire to disenfranchise voters by taking legal votes away from other candidates and giving them to another candidate to create a false lead. To conspire to shut down a vote to make it seem a candidate has won before the votes can be counted

. We don't need to"change" our democracy; we need a new Sergeant at Arms to keep the riff-faff out of Our democracy.

Susan, thanks for the listing of the votes.
Your Senator Cantwell doesn’t come to the floor often, but she is tenacious when she does.
Ben Nelson is a republican masquerading as a dem.
Gregg and Kyl are usually, at least in rhetoric, very tight-fisted. We are in serious trouble…more than we are being told, I fear.

Bho the fraud hasn’t done a thing. He is a puppet, a front man, a mouthpiece for the greedy, bankrupting junta behind him. Auto industries, banks, insurance companies, Wall Street fat cats and politicians NEED to fail and fail big before America wakes up and gets rid of them with a big NO to bailouts and a big NO at the ballot box. If enough voters come out, we can win over ACORN and other cheaters in DNC and MSM.

It’s the era of cleaning house, the White House to start. Then the House of Reps and the Senate. FDR didn’t get us out of the Depression, WWII did. We’re already in two publicized bankrupting wars, not to mention any covert ones–we cannot throw money at programs and “hope” they work at home or abroad.

Buckle down, bite the bullet, live within our means. That’s the only way.

The co-chair of Barack Obama’s Transition Team, Valerie Jarrett, appeared on Meet the Press this weekend and used, shall we say, an interesting word to described what she thinks Barack Obama will be doing in January when he’s officially sworn into office. She told Tom Brokaw that Obama will be ready to “rule” on day one. It’s a word that reflects the worst fears that people have for Obama the “arrogant,” the “messiah,” that imagines he’s here to “rule” instead of govern.

Until these folks are truthful about how bad things REALLY are this is just throwing bad money after bad. All of these retail outlets closing and I imagine, in the end some of these banks too–lots of jobs lost, for sure. But my question is WHO IS GOING TO LEASE THE VACANT COMMERCIAL SPACE LEFT AVAILABLE? This is very troubling.

Oh dear God. Apologies, Susan. Please delete one of those posts!
