"The November elections are like the battle of Poitiers or the seige of Vienna. If those battles had gone a different way, the entire history of the world would have been different. In the November elections, this country will be at stake."
But no pressure, right?

In his travels across the country, Obama has been reminding voters of problems from the Bush years, likening the economy to a car driven into a ditch by Bush and the Republican Party.
“Bush is still a very effective bogeyman for Democrats,” Lehane said. “For Republicans, this is a negative brand writ large: Democrats are going to raise your taxes.”
Blame Bush. What a brilliant strategy. After 1.5 years in office Barry is still responsible for nothing.

VINEYARD HAVEN, Mass. - Finally, President Barack Obama can relax on vacation.
The Gulf oil leak is plugged. The last combat troops are out of Iraq. And Congress is on its own summer break.

#8, I prefer that Obama remain incompetent, finishing his waffle, blaming Bush, playing golf, and taking his Wookie for a walk on Date Night.
The more that Obama accomplishes in the socialist remaking of America, the more work that is needed to undo it. If he'd pledge to just play 18 holes a day at Congressional or Burning Tree for the rest of his term and not sign anything, I'd actually feel somewhat relieved.

Because you've been good little morons, more Obama quotes:
"There are still passages that I read in the Bible where I say, well, this doesn't make any sense."
"I'm proud of the fact that I stood up early and unequivocally in opposition to Bush's foreign policy. That opposition hasn't changed."
"I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody."
"The United States should be more modest in out belief that we can impose democracy on a country through military force."
"The heightened focus on marriage is a distraction from other, attainable measures to prevent discrimination of gays and lesbians."
"Any black person in America who's successful has to be able to speak several forms of the same language. You take on different personas as you do, when you have to. There's nothing wrong with it. You're going to speak differently on the golf course with your golf buddies than you are with your buddies around the kitchen table."
"The party has not updated its vision and its message. We haven't painted a picture of where we want to take the country."
"We should have every child speaking more than one language. It's embarrassing when Europeans come over here, they all speak English, they speak French, they speak German. And when we go over to Europe and all we can say is merci beaucoup, right?"
"This notion that's been peddled by the religious right-that they are opressed-is not true. Sometimes it's a cynical ploy to move their agenda ahead. The classic example being that somehow secularists are trying to eliminate Christmas, which strikes me as some kind of manufactured controversy."

Radio story I heard yesterday (there are other aspects to it, but it's pretty boring):
State Universities here in NC have a new policy that requires every student have health insurance. Failure to have health insurance will be a violation of the "Honor Code", which is apparently way worse for someone's transcript than bad grades and effects job recruitment dramatically.

If people are serious about addressing the issue, they need to work to find a way to close the loopholes in the current system that (apparently) leaves us with no standing to challenge candidates' qualifications in the courts. Otherwise, it's all moot.

I saw a Tesla the other day - it was smaller than a Miata. You'd be taking your life in your hands driving it. I read an article in Popular Mechanics about the X-prize for cars. One of the best performing cars used an internal combustion engine.
Also, most of those cards weigh less than 1,000 pounds. Can you imagine driving done an Interstate and getting hit by a double-trailer truck? They'd be scrapping you up with a spatula

I think Speaker Pelosi raises a valid question and it deserves an answer. My active opposition to the Ground Zero Mosque was paid for by a secessionist militia member hailing from Coventry, Connecticut, Until his untimely death, he went by the name of Nathan Hale, but since I have not seen his birth certificate, I cannot tell you if that is in fact his real name.
The price he paid to purchase my speech was astronomical, but if the Speaker's investigation finds that exchange illegal or improper, I am prepared to repay Mr Hale in kind and in full.
I should also here note that I am an un-undocumented immigrant. I am prepared to show Ms Pelosi my papers if demanded.

Normally when my husband and I go to the USA, if our Canadianness is even noticed, no one really cares. This time, we ended up staying a bit longer than planned and my husband ran out of insulin in Indiana.
In order to get a prescription we had to find a doctor, which we did within an hour (that has never happened at home. I've never had less than 3 week's wait for an appointment with my own doc). When we talked to the doc we spent about 3 minutes getting the prescription, and 45 minutes answering questions about Canada's health care system. Three of the clinic's doctors came in to talk to us, and they were extremely focused and grim.
Of random citizens we met along the way, nearly every one wanted to talk about health care as soon as they found out where we were from. It was surreal, and unlike anything I've experienced on prior trips. Nearly everyone we talked to was worried and upset, even before we told them about what they had to look forward to.
Of course, our sample pretty much consisted of middle class folks and medical staff, so not quite a complete cross-section of the nation. But I did not meet one person who was happy about the change. Good luck, friends.

Posted by: Mallamutt at August 20, 2010 09:38 AM (OWjjx)
THE DEMS BROUGHT IT ON THEMSELVES, SO FUCK IT. The party that contemplated DEMON PASS to shove a massive takeover of healthcare, a bill they hadn't even read and passed on Christmas Eve, has proven they are interested only in power, not transparency. Nobody trusts that they properly vetted Obama, who has passed an executive order immediately upon taking office (after botching an oath) that his records are off limit, who has spent an exorbitant amount on legal fees to challenge the standing of any cases, who has given conflicting accounts of his birth and upbringing, who produced an actual forged birth certificate, who sprang a mysterious trip to Pakistan while he was in college on a surprised journalist (forget which one) during the 2008 campaign... obviously he is lying about something, and the Dems and their media allies will keep mum on it, if they even know. Pelosi should know something. DO YOU TRUST HER? DO YOU TRUST OBAMA? FUCK NO. That's what this is about. People are willing to assume the worst, because the Democrats go into race card battle mode whenever even legitimate questions about this administration come up. The Democrats gave czar positions to Maoists and Truthers, admitted enemies of our government who believe in far nuttier conspiracies than the possibility that Obama's scamming whore mother lied about his nationality to get all the perks of American citizenship for her Third World baby boy. WHY DO YOU ATTACK YOUR OWN SIDE FOR DOING NOTHING WORSE THAN WHAT YOUR OPPONENTS DID SUCCESSFULLY? If polling shows that significant portions of both parties believe Obama might be a closeted Muslim or a foreigner, shut up. Don't defend a Democrat and make their argument for them. The burden of proof is on their party and their nominal leader.

I feel that a coerced transaction, made under threat of physical, financial, whatever sort, but made under threat of harm is not a legitimate transaction between two consenting parties. Unions threaten, Walmart entices. There is your difference. If unions got together and had meetings on how to be better employees and produce more for the company so the company could make more and pay more to the union, then they would be more like Walmart.
Anyway, sorry to rant, but when leftists want to defend their threatened use of force by using free market terminology it gets my blood boiling.
