29 Hi, my name is Francis. I am very religious, and quite active in my Catholic community. Needless to say I have had some concerns about the mandates of Obamacare that seem to be at odds with religious liberties. But just recently, while visiting from Italy, I was able to personally hear the President speak to these issues and, Lordy, he has me convinced. Now, I feel there is absolutely nothing to fear, and everyone should hurry to sign up for Obamacare!

37 Hi, I'm the Devil in the Curtains. I make people like Dick Cheney who they are and absolutely love that most of the world population is going to drown as a result of climate change. However, due to a change in employment, I went from being able to afford a Cadillac health plan under my old job as the Devil in the Bush White House to being uninsured as the Devil in some Mormon Polyamist's Curtains. While I absolutely never thought that I would endorse any of the Great Works of the Messiah Barack Obama, I must confess that under ObamaCare, I now once again have affordable coverage, which is very useful since my new employer's sister-wives are abusive and are constantly inflicting injury upon me. Thanks ObamaCare!

So... I'm gonna go out on a limb and say... they won't.... Why? Because the NSA has consistently been wrong about everything... My guess is Putin put more troops on his border, because Ukraine and the EU have been rattling sabers, and mobilizing their OWN troops. I could be wrong... but if the O' admin says something.... I'll bet against what they say as being correct...

105 Really. Hating and murdering everyone else is extremely good and moral. Because Progress. And 'God is a lie!!!111'

106 Wild card at that point is Poland ----- Agreed. Didn't we just send them about 4 F-16's?

107 In one part of history, Russia controlled half of Europe. #86, very recent "history" given our own lifetimes. Yep, Ike's biggest mistake was ignoring Patton all together, cutting out too soon, and leaving Central/Eastern Europe in USSR hands. But then, the US still had Japan to beat, and Japan had a lot of US prisoners of war in the same circumstances worked to death while being purposely starved as the Nazi concentration camp victims. Tough call. I'd rather blame Britain given proximity and FRANCE delivered from Vichy -- both failing to give a rat's ass for Poland and of course anything East of the Rhine. After all, "spoils" of war 1945 being condemning Germans to Stalin's wrath and occupation. Mutual Dissatisfaction /Kissinger? But it isn't as if Russia has a traditional heritage running half of Europe -- only Post-WWII.

109 103. I want Cruz in charge of the Senate, kicking ass, removing authoritarian legislated law with surgical precision, getting our Constitutional Republic back in gear, moving up hill out of the authoritarian post-constitutional muck. He's the best legal mind to WRITE and organize Congress cooperative work, Senate with House, concise constitutional empowerment of Civil Liberties and States Rights, and effectively remove authoritarian legislation that is unconstitutional. THAT is not only a full time job, but a role not belonging to the US presidency. A President can't do everything himself, no matter what people think. Every administration is a TEAM effort. I would rather Rand Paul be POTUS, given his even tempered international personality, staunch national defense along the lines of FIRST PRINCIPLES Fred Thompson's potus campaign agenda. Don't obligate the US in ANYTHING until all plans and ALL CONTINGENCIES are addressed, long term clarity of purpose, including leaving as all things do come to an end. /Even Rumsfeld's never ending wars will eventually reach a conclusion of one sort or another./ I suppose its heads or tails so far as which Tea Party favorite I'd rather see lead the Senate, or lead US international policy as today's forces absorb the Oval Office attention. As for VP, really, get a hard nosed woman ending whatever perceived GOP war on women that attacked Palin. It's about time Republicans ELECT more constitutional conservative women nationally. No more of the airheads following Cornyn RINO leads.

110 You can always tell when someone is British even if they feign a non-british accent. It's the way they say 'anything'. They don't say 'any thing'. They say 'enneh thin' or 'anneh thin'.

111 This guy's doing it right now.
