I was thinking the very same thought! He could have taken the helicopter instead of firing up AF One for about $250,000 of our hard earned $$$’s. But then he couldn’t wear the jacket. LOL

Thanks for a good laugh. This psycho-babble about “needing to be liked” was funny enough, but then the cherry on top: a poster quoting Nathianel Branden, that Ayn Rand disciple who left his wife to pair with Rand and later cheated on her (Rand). She ditched him for being deceitful — and an intellectual lightweight.

Rand’s other notable disciple was Alan Greenspan. You all know how well his application of her free-market philosphy turned out.

Yes, all the NeoCons that promoted Bush backed Obama.

Scott McClellan, Powell, Buckley, the list goes on. They knew a good bet.

You are so right on this point. This is why BO is GWB’s third term — i.e. Phase II of the fascist takeover of this country.

Phase II consists of

* corporate pillaging of whatever is left to pillage;

* privatizing SS;

* rendering the dollar worthless via hyper-inflation;

* double-digit interest rates;

* continuing GWB’s perpetual war policy;

* and continuing to erode our right’s via FISA.

I agree. HRC gets better with age — like a fine wine, as they say.

Obama on Afghanistan is a war looking for a strategy. Scary.

I second that thought.

Yeah, at a time when life expectancy is rising, we get Obummer’s Eugenics Heath Care. Well, I guess the argument could be made for everyone to “[accept] the ailments that come with [life]” in general. In this case, smokers (such as Obama) or obese people who are a drain on health care resources would be denied health care too.

I guess we’ll be heading in this direction: First old people would have to go, then the disabled, then ill children, then pregnant women . . . . Pretty soon it will be only a small sector of society getting health care. I wonder what Sen Kennedy has to say about Obummer’s health care plans?

I will follow Rush and hope he fails. Why will I want to support his SOCIALIST/MARXIST policies that will wreck this beautiful country?

And sure I’ll say it: Biden would be better.

LOL–You are a brave man, John! (Perhaps correct, too.)

Sorry Pat. You would think that due to our current economic meltdown that people would steer away from creating fictions as a way to better there position, but that is not the case. Knowing how much damage a fiction passed off as truth can do, it is the wise move to go after them and the people who attempt to con others with them whenever and whereever they are in the act.

I think it’s time to end this little illusion you have going that our national debt was doubled by the boneheaded conservatives because of stupid shit we don’t need ; They made massive tax cuts at a time when we were standing in the doorway of budget surpluses that could have been used to pay down our debt, balance our books and prevent the bullshit we are now living . But instead they gave it away as fuel for the next bubble.
