So it is more (logically) reasonable to strongly believe that anyone graduating fifth from the bottom out of almost 900 people or having to try four times just to graduate from college has the intellectual capacity to be a president?

Care to state facts next time, sweetie?
Why state facts, now. Just taking a chance to bash back after being Bush-beaten for eight years.I wouldn't have posted but for the dig on Reagan -- he started it!


O's an idea, a hope, and a dream, not a man. He's a logo and a magazine cover. He does not exist. He has no friends in Washington, no influence, no connections, andjust now figured out where the bathroom is located.So heuses his arch-rival Clinton's staff to fill his cabinet, and appoints her to the highest non-domestic office in our government. Who puts their RIVAL'S staff in place!


Someone who does what he's told to do, that's who.


He can't even think up his own chant! "YES WE CAN!" is Bob the Builder, a claymation cartoon his kids watch!


Holy crap, huh. We're being led by Bob the Builder!


We'll change. And we have hope. But nobody's said what change, and nobody's said what hope. It's a blind bet. "Mail us your gold, and we'll send you CASH CASH CASH!"


Suckers!


Anyway.


It is a fact that his $5,000 refund already got chunked, and that he's proposing a $250,000 cap on the American Dream. I divided that by 5, since $250,000 won't be low enough to push through congress, not with all the dems in control, now. I figure it'll first go from one to two-house income of $250k, then get reduced to $100k dual-income, $50k single. I'll admit that $50k dualis an exaggerated guess, though, but $100k dual with $50k singleis a very reasonable number to expect a tax hike, especially if he redistributes the wealth. I never got the first stimulus check, so I don't expect I'll see anything from Obama, either.


Remember this post in 2010 when you file taxes, please.


Anyway. Just a cheap dig was all, like Tina Fey's Palin, or that Frank guy's Bush. The troops I know are puking their guts out, because they know our country's flag just turned to white.


Now, the troops pointing their guns at the US soldiers, they're celebrating, all right. Read the news if you don't believe me. When our enemies dance, well, there you go. It doesn't mean the love us anymore today than they did yesterday.


It just means they love what we did.


Dance away.


- Saul

The definition of insanity is trying the same thing expecting different results. The left is not civilized enough to react well to fair play. They apparently don't understand or believe in the concept. I should not expect to get different results trying the same thing.

That attitude and 99 cents will get you an item from Wendy's super-value menu.
I think he'll still be short some...there's usually some tax that puts it over $1.05.

I assure you, on my worst day I will be far more respectful of Obama than my opponents were of Bush. Not even I, someone who believes in playing rough, would sink to some of the lows witnessed over the past 8 years. The far left is unable to learn by reasoned debate; therefore, I will have to use a rhetorical club to make them understand. It's apparently, the only way.
The "far left" (I put this in quotations because the US doesn't really have a viable far left) might have been slightly more tolerant of Bush had the Rs not engineered a stolen election in 2000. Not exactly the best way to unite a nation and encourage fair play.

Not sure what there is to celebrate. Isn't this the same guy that is going to continue Bush's failed foreign and economic policies?

(a) Keep generalizing ... it'll get you nowhere.


(b) Then you should know this will only make you look childish ... as it did those who reacted the same.
