That's awfully rich to worry about Obama taking vacations.

Palin, my dog Bugsy is a better alternative than her. I will vote for Obama if Palin is the nom.

Anything other than "trillion dollar deficits as far as the eye can see" - as this administration's policy has been described - has got to be a better idea.
i agree and disagree. I agree that there are real big problems in this country that need top priority.

I disagree that gay rights shouldnt be a set aside until other things change.

How hard could it be to appeal DADT and DOMA? Pretty damn easily if Republicans wouldnt stop being d-bags and homophobes.

Its a big issue to the 10% of the population that care about their partner the same way you care about your wife (if you are married - dont know)

Good lord, at least there is still SOME sanity left in the world.

While I disagree, I understand why some people would vote for a Republican against Obama next time around, though at this point I'm really starting to consider just voting for a small party and letting everyone else decide because I'm getting sick of him too. Two years after getting to know Palin, it scares the hell out of me that there is even ONE person in this country who would vote for her, let alone enough to elect her potentially.

Argue Obama's inexperience all you want, but at least he has SOME grasp of the issues. Sarah Palin has exhibited not one ounce of depth or understanding of complexities on even one single issue in two years in the public eye. And how that is not terrifying to people is absolutely beyond me.

Her and Jesus are tight... thats why the tea party people love her.

I dont think there is any way she will be on the republican ticket.

After quitting her post as govener, she basically surrendered any possibility of holding a public office again, IMO. No way a quitter should even be allowed on the ticket.

She should stick to her current job of Fox News Entertainer and Twitter Reporter.

What is terrifying is having Eric Holder as AG. It is terifying to have an Attorney General who doesn't care about the law and just does whatever he feels like doing. He has no problem with sanctuary cities. He thinks it's fine for cities to snub their nose at federal law and ignore immigration laws. That is fine with Holder. But when states try to enforce federal law, Holder sues them and has the gall to say these states are "interfering with federal law".

And then there is the case of the guys intimidating voters in what a long-time civil rights activist called the "worst case of voter intimidation he had ever seen". But Holder dropped the charges simply because of the color of the defendants skin. If that's not terrifying to you then I don't know what is.

then why did the stimulus make the unemployment rate go up when he said if it was passed would keep unemployment from going abve 8%

tell me what Palin did specifically to make Alaska worse off , what did she screw up up there , she had executive experience , obama had none

the american people are waking up to the fact that we have a person in the white house who has no experience ....obama is a smart guy , knows a lot of things , but if you don't think he is in over his head you're dead wrong. the media did a great job of this during the election peroid , the convinced the american people that obama would be a messiah and that palin would have no clue

he's had 18 months and tell me how we are better off today than we were 18 months ago , i don't see it anywhere

tell me what palin would have done that would have made us worse off today if she had been elected , she couldn't have been any worse than obama to this point

surely you took logic classes in college. This would be a logical fallacy unless of course you can show how the stimulus caused unemployment to go up.

And you can find a million economists who will say the stimulus lowers unemployment.

it's really black and white , bush left office in jan , we were told in early feb that the stimulus had to get passed immediatly in order for unemployment to not go above 8% , it went to 10%+ after it was passed

no one will ever no what would have happened to unemployment if it didn't get passed

but in the real world not in your fantasy little world inside the beltway dala
it didn't work


if palin guaranteed something like this and it didn't happen the media would be killing her every day , obama and his team get a pass, but , they obviously have made things worse since Bush headed back to Texas

Yeah, but you said it "doesn't make a lot of sense " and what this guy pointed out was a logical possible senerio.

and I don't see unemployment lower.....

i didn't necessarily agree with the stimulus, but i would be hard pressed to say it 'made' unemployment go up. unemployment did go up-would it have done so regardless, probably. would it have gone up higher without the stimulus-maybe. but to say it made the jobless rate go up-come on.

Your trying to tell me that O'Dumbass is doing a good job as President? It has been over one year since he has been President what has he done for umemployment, our economy, and illegals crossing into our country? Not one dam thing. All he cared about was getting his health care bill that the majority of the Amrerican public didn't want passed.

While Holder may certainly have problems to worry about, the Black Panther thing being one of them, this post is just too rich top to bottom.

When "states" try to enforce federal law he sues "them?" Them and states are both plural. Examples please. Or are you just trying to make it sound worse than it is to try to score a point? I bet the house on the latter. It's what you guys do.

And who was the last attorney general? And you're worried about an AG who doesn't follow the law and just does whatever he feels like doing?

Consistency will surely never accidentally be listed in the "plus" column when discussing the conservative mindset.

Thanks for a good laugh, Rupert.
