		<description>BJ: 

He already did and sent tons of memos out repeating much this as his own it seems.

Charlie Rose tonight had 2 guys on the show explaining how BO&#039;s central &quot;idea&quot; after &quot;fixing the immediate economy&quot; is &quot;energy&quot; as in &quot;green energy&quot; (create jobs, infrastructure, etc etc.). And why then low gas prices were &quot;bad&quot;...
These guys even talked about nuclear energy as being part of BO&#039;s plan.

Now: did anyone got the sense the &quot;energy&quot; was the central piece of BO&#039;s plan during the campaign?????</description>

		<description>What a disgrace. We are facing crises on so many fronts and people hired a man-child for the job. We had a brilliant leader, a workhorse, ready and willing to tackle the challenges, but voters wanted to feeeel good about themselves, showing how cool and &quot;progressive&quot; they could be. Qualifications and proven character were irrelevant. Well, when they are paying taxes through the nose, losing their jobs, homes and savings, don&#039;t come cryin&#039; to me.</description>

		<description>ANI

THANKS FOR THE GREAT POST!

Hillary was and is the workhorse. But in politics only Showhorses win.

Hillary was the only truly inspirational Leader we had running and not for glory!  The OBama Diva will be another Bush shrub and soon he&#039;ll be yelling:

Back to the end of the bus, ladies...

We owe Hillary a huge thanks for her example and perseverance and fighting spirit. But don&#039;t blame her for being a Democrat!  How many women stick with their asshole spouses just to....survive....of course, they can go to a shelter. But then who will pay for the kids&#039; education....eh?

Hillary is doing her DUTY. oBummer is doing his Show! At our expense!</description>

		<description>THANKS, ANI!

This is a great post that sums up the essence of Hillary&#039;s legacy-to-come!

She did her duty, as millions of women do every day, whether it&#039;s to stick by a jerk cause you have kids&#039; school expenses and can&#039;t hack it alone, or whether it&#039;s to simply Survive for Another Day as best you can....

Ah, what we, what the World has missed! Nancy, Reid, Donna, Deano, and the Puppet on the String Himself should be tried for inducing a political abortion...

Now, just wait for the full catastrophe as Zorba would say....Bush I being replaced with yet another moron oBUMMER II.</description>

		<description>Wodiej,

Absolutely correct - they did just vote in Bush for a third term.  I and many others have been saying this for a year.

Unfortunately, a tree falling in the woods that no one heard.</description>

		<description>Exactly right.  Thanks for your observation.

Her political suicide -- going out in a blaze of glory was not going to stop him nor was it going to change the party -- much as many of us, including me, would have liked to believe otherwise.  She is needed where she is.

And hero worship has nothing to do with it.  She is a flawed candidate -- but still twenty times better than what we have.

I am amazed at the lack of either empathy of some, or the realities of how politics work.  What people were asking of Hillary was unheard of -- and would not have worked.</description>

		<description>Ani,

Your posts always seem to express exactly my feelings.  I am at work and don&#039;t have time to read all the comments, so I hope I don&#039;t say something already said.

Yes, Hillary is the one who should have been president elect.  I am so upset that she was so betrayed by the party that I actually hurt sometimes.

I wonder why I am not reading or hearing reactions to her letter to &quot;W.&quot;  What is the response?</description>

		<description>Thanx Ani! That is what REAL leadership looks like... remember that Michael Douglas line when he starred in *The American President* as President Andrew Shepard?

Lewis Rothschild: 
People want leadership. And in the absence of genuine leadership, they will listen to anyone who steps up to the microphone. They want leadership, Mr. President. They&#039;re so thirsty for it, they&#039;ll crawl through the desert toward a mirage, and when they discover there&#039;s no water, they&#039;ll drink the sand. 

President Andrew Shepherd:
Lewis, we&#039;ve had Presidents who were beloved who couldn&#039;t find a coherent sentence with two hands and a flashlight. 
People don&#039;t drink the sand &#039;cause they&#039;re thirsty. They drink the sand &#039;cause they don&#039;t know the difference.</description>

		<description>One of the commonalities between what Senator Clinton and Prez Elect Obama talk about is this concept of 5 million &quot;green collar&quot; jobs.

I know I am probably about to step in poo poo, but please know that this question comes with absolutely no snark attached...what is an example of a &quot;green collar&quot; job?

I mean, an actual example.  What would someone actually be doing on a daily basis that would be considered a &quot;green collar&quot; job?  What are the job duties?

It is a term all the candidates, including McCain, threw around, but I&#039;ve just never heard a good example of what one of those jobs would be.  I&#039;m just trying to clear up my ignorance, not make a point.

Thanks for your help.</description>

		<description>I blame the U.S. electorate for being so led-by-the-nose gullible. How many lies and deceptions do the politicians have to tell before people catch on? The political class has caused these problems by their actions (and inaction) and has led this country and its middle class to utter ruination and destitution. Now they tell unbelievably naive voters they are going to &quot;step in&quot; and &quot;fix&quot; things. How can anyone still believe them?
Trusting big government clowns to do the right thing isn&#039;t just stupid. It&#039;s suicidal. The sick notion that &quot;government cares&quot; and will step in to protect our interests is dangerous nonsense that millions of gullible people have fallen into.</description>

		<description>The mostintetesting part of the article is that Barky wants to bailout the auto industry and create an oversight czar--like the one in 1979.  Hmm, that worked real well, didn&#039;t it?  Then the article lists the previous bailouts of the auto industry!

Let&#039;s see, who works in the auto industry--in Detroit, MI?</description>

		<description>My opinion of Barky all along.  I just read that he&#039;s PUSHING for $50 billion for the auto makers.  

Why can&#039;t the pols put a bill through Congress to relieve consumer debt the way they put a bill through Congress to bailout the corps?  

The irritating thing is that this was all forseeable, but no one would hold the government agencies accountable during the last 8 years.  Now We the People have suffer for it.</description>
