   What is Obama going to phone in???? Does he even know what to say besides “Buses failed policies”? The man still does not have an ounce of originality to him. Does the stupid man still think taxing in a recession works? Does he still think surrendering work? What a stupid imbecil running for president.

   To T-Bone #38. Thanks for weighing in but my criticism of George W. Bush has nothing to do with what the MSM has said. I don’t listen to them anyway.

   My problem with Bush is that he has largely failed to lead and govern but where he has gone out on a limb, it has been for big-government and liberal policies.

   Check your sources but I don’t think that is why the MSM has been bashing him.

   All Bush has managed in the last two years is to figure out that he was losing Iraq. Finally, after everyone told him he needed more troops there he realized, after two years of inactivity and indecision, that he needed more troops there. If he can only do one thing at a time he has no business being president. I can’t believe I am saying this but even Clinton could manage more than one crisis at a time. Of course, he created many of his “crises” by keeping his pants down around his ankles.

   Bush has had no domestic agenda for the last 4 years. He sat on his hands when first the GOP and then the Dems ran amok in Congress. He has largely done nothing and said little. It is not that he has been ineffective. It is not that he has tried and failed. He hasn’t even tried to push a domestic agenday. He has been AWOL as the financial crisis developed over the last year. He has been AWOL for most of the last 4 years.

   Deciding to “lead” in October of 2008, one month before the election, is a bit late! The man has no credibility. He was elsewhere doing nothing when he should have been hard at work protecting citizens from government run amok. Instead, he wants to give that same government $1 trillion more of our money to waste. And he demands we do it NOW! What chutzpah!

   It is hard to imagine the change in my estimation concerning George W. Bush between 2000 and now.

   Don’t underestimate the power of the constant drumbeat of Democrats and the propoganda machine of the liberal press hammering on the President during a time of war. Running a country during wartime is a hellava lot harder than running one in peacetime to begin with.

   O/T: Obama filed an answer to the Berg suit in PA. Apparently he has refused to answer the allegations and has filed a motion to dismiss.

   If you are part of a lawfirm and have a “PACER” account you can view Obama’s answer. I don’t, so I guess I’ll have to wait for one of the blogs to scan and post.

   I know alot of people have dismissed Berg as a crank out of hand, but I would still like to see the answer to the complaint and petition to dismiss.

   Did anyone catch Brit Hume tonight? He ran a segment showing the warnings from Bush and Greenspan over the last 8 years and nails Barney Frank and Schumer for saying Fannie/Freddie were fine.

    Just had this emailed to me.. excellent..

    I asked my friend’s little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be President some day. Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there, so I asked her,
    ‘If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?’

    She replied, ‘I’d give food and houses to all the homeless people.’

    ‘Wow…what a worthy goal.’ I told her, ‘You don’t have to wait until you’re President to do that. You can come over to my house and mow, pull weeds, and sweep my yard, and I’ll pay you $50. Then I’ll take you over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the $50 to use toward food and a new house.’

    She thought that over for a few seconds while her Mom glared at me, then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, ‘Why doesn’t the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?’

    I said, ‘Welcome to the Republican Party.’

    Her folks still aren’t talking to me.

    For those who haven’t been keeping up with current events – the Financial/Credit crisis is really a whole lot more serious than what is being let out to the public. The Obama & his campaign have the same intel as McCain, but could care less about the USA & the Citizens. All BHO & the do-nothing Dem Congress care about is getting his Oneness elected. John McCain is all about Country First!

    So Obama says he can do two things at once. This from the party who criticized Bush for not getting to Katrina fast enough.

    And how dare they be so glib answering “..we have computers, we have planes…” What small answers to the largest financial crisis this generation of our country and the world has ever seen. SHAME!

    This whole episode today is another great example of why one should listen closely when any Democrat makes a statement. Obama said he wasn’t going back to Washington, because he didn’t want to “inject” presidential politics into the process.

    Quickly thereafter, Dingy Harry backtracked on a previous statement about getting McCain’s approval on any measure, and said that something to the effect that he was afraid the candidates being there would inject presidential politics into the deliberations.

    Barney Frank just said to Greta Van Susterin that they didn’t “need” McCain to show up and “save” the negotiations…that they were making good progress…and added another reference about McCain thinking he could just show up and “be the Savior.”

    I used to call them “Clintonisms,” because you could take the opposite of what BJ would say on the record, and it would reliably be the opposite of what he actually did.

    When they say they don’t want politics placed in to this or that, it is precisely what they interject at the first opportunity to do so.

    The Dem’s are nothing if not predictable.

    Someone make a list of all the people voting 3rd party or not voting and if BO wins, and they start complaining, we can call them on it. You may be able to look yourself in the mirror but you can’t come here and start b_ _tching about how bad BO is screwing up the country.

    Ditto for those who simply stay home and don’t exercise their responsibility to vote – voting is much more than a citizen’s right.

    Freedom is not the right to do as we please, but the responsibility to be pleased to do as we ought.

    More voters trust Obama to deal with the economy, and he currently has a big edge as the candidate who is more in tune with the economic problems Americans now face. He also has a double-digit advantage on handling the current problems on Wall Street,

    BASED ON WHAT???? What has he done or said that would lead people to think he is the better candidate to deal with these things? You have to have hope???? That’s not a freaking policy!

    Are people in this freaking country actually that incredibly stupid?

    You know what this demonstrates to me? It demonstrates to me that people in this country haven’t the foggiest idea as to what is currently going on and really and trully are merely lemmings to the clarion call of NBC and the other alphabets. No, I do not trust the people of this country to do the correct thing. Not in the least.

    On the plus side of things, this should put a halt to some of McCain’s green push, that is if he wins. Since he is such an anti-spender and hates earmarks, very little Democrat backed Congress wacko legislation will get passed. If McCain wins then perhaps we will also get in more GOP members of Congress due to this.

    The Dems are dancing with the Devil that brought them to the dance and this whole day has been nothing but land mines for them to dodge. They have made him look weak by saying they do not need him and then McCain and Bush have made him look weaker by Obama’s “knock three times on the ceiling if you want me” stance. Now he is being summoned like a bad child and I just cannot help but think this is going to hurt him in the long run with based on the verbage or lack thereof from Obama.

    Most of us here are in one way or another political junkies. We are also normal folks that work for a living, or run a family for a living. I believe this move by McCain is going to be seen by the people between the parentheses, flyover country, as caring about them more than politics. The pundits on tv just cannot see this with the clarity of someone in KS, PA, OH, NJ, FL or GA. McCain is taking his mantra of “Country First” and bringing it to life, much akin to Pygmalion. Right or wrong, this move is something the American public will appreciate and admire. At least I believe most will, especially the undecided voters.

    Define: Sacrifice

    McCain defines it by suspending his current campaign for the Presidency to go back to Washington D.C. to work with the current President and the rest of Congress because doing his current job and role of Senator is more important than a campaign or desire to be President.

    Obama defines it by by suspending his current job as a Senator and representing the people who elected him and continuing to campaign and further his desire to be President.

    A time to restore confidence that Washington can lead this country? No. No. No. No. They canNOT. Nor do we want them to, in the way they imagine they should.

    Tired of this hand-holding…

    I’m remembering why McCain always made me sick. For a minute, I had a Palin palate cleanser but am worried she is now sullied by McCain’s weird duplicity. This is all so revolting and revealing. And another question: why does it seem like the same bedfellows who are trying to cram this down our throats are the same who tried to push the immigration bill through? Deja vu.

    Yes, they are that stupid. I will take myself as an example – a graduate degree from top school and worked in corporate world for 20 years. Yet until about 2005, I would have watched MSNBC/Olbermann and not known he was blatantly biased. Now that I have faced many life challenges and with the help of truth bloggers like MM and smart talk shows have woken out of my stupor.

    But if it took me so long, I can see all the 20-30 year olds falling for the ONE’s smooth words like an accomplished college debator’s.

    “Freaking” is right..

    Hi atheling,

    I think most people here have simply become (or always have been) skeptical and leery of President Bush and McCain.

    However, I agree that this makes Obama look like the dunce that he is. More please.

    The Barry and Pelosi and Reid and Barney Show. (just saw a promo piece by Kanjorski, maybe he’ll be there too).

    So, uh, we have a practice run at playing who’s the next president today. Do the Democrats go for the juggler [sic] and open up their Socialist Gift to America today, or do they make nice and try to look stately. (“Hide Nancy, she always looks like a deer in the headlights”.)

    Mixing metaphors even more, their risk is do they sieze the opportunity and let the commie cat out of the bag or do they strike a bi-partisan pose? Kanjorski suggests the former, albeit sugar coated. Barney says its BDS deregulation. Obama says its all McCain’s campaign manager’s fault.

    And what’s a poor senator from New York to do? The best crack I’ve read all week is that the most dangerous place to be in the Senate is between Schumer and a microphone.

    Meanwhile, Hillary will go to the UN and make nasty faces at Ahmadinejad. No one will notice.
