Obama in the Oval Office with a filibuster-proof majority in Congress is not necessarily a good thing. Sure, they'll pass a bunch of bills, but most of them will screw this country in ways Bush never even dreamed. And BTW, Obama is just as dumb as Bush if not dumber. Just because he can read eloquently from a teleprompter doesn't make him intelligent. When this guy's ad-libbing, he says some of the stupidest things I've ever heard. And his policies are downright scary.
In what ways do you believe Obama's policies would screw the country? President of Harvard law review is stupid? What are some of the stupidest things you've ever heard? Do you mean the 57 states mistake he made?
A weak post overall and obviously bigoted and vulgar in its content... One point I'd like to clarify however, is that a 'lame duck' in the political sense is an public representative whose replacement has already been chosen. So in other words, when McCain is elected in early November, at that point Bush will enter into 'lame duck' status. The libs have been tossing the phase around in the pejorative for the last few years in error. No surprise. Their anger and bitterness leads to all kinds of goofs.
That's only one definition. The more common one is a politician who is weak because they will soon leave office or because events have rendered them less effective.
Does anybody listen to Bush anymore about anything? Hell even McCain wanted to hide him away at his fundraiser over the weekend.
Gentlemen lame duck n. 1. a. An elected officeholder or group continuing in office during the period between failure to win an election and the inauguration of a successor. b. An officeholder who has chosen not to run for reelection or is ineligible for reelection. 2. An ineffective person; a weakling. There is nothing to say that a successor has to be chosen, what term would you like people to use Jorge? He has less than 6 months left in office. "The president who has only six months left"
WOW!!! Faux News founder leaning towards Obama Barack Obama’s Unlikely Supporter: Rupert 'Fox News' Murdoch Posted May 29, 2008 12:34pm EDT by Sarah Lacy in Investing, Internet, Media, Newsmakers, Venture Capital, M and A, IPOs Related: nws, msft, yhoo, nyt Kara Swisher and Walt Mossberg had a long day of grilling executives at their All Things Digital Conference. But they saved Rupert Murdoch -- their Wall Street Journal overlord -- for last. The highlight? Murdoch’s not-quite-but-almost endorsement of Barack Obama for president. The founder -- and defender -- of Fox News said he expected Obama to win in a landslide, citing widespread unhappiness with the current administration and his disenchantment with Republican contender John McCain. Murdoch added that after a long career in the Senate, McCain had been forced to compromise too much and doesn’t stand for much. Murdoch even nonchalantly owned up to influencing the New York Post to back Obama in the New York primary. During the Q&A, I pressed Murdoch -- a new U.S. citizen -- on whether he would actually vote for Obama in November. He said he was leaning toward it, but would know in the next six months. When I asked if I could call him, he said yes, then joked I could probably just figure it out from reading the Post. I also asked Murdoch about reports that he said he would buy the New York Times if he had the opportunity, just to shut it down. He said he was kidding, but likely Times staffers in the audience shuddered. I caught up with Kara of the WSJ and All Things D once they got offstage to discuss her newfound admiration for the outspoken mogul -- not to mention Alaskan elk.
When not supervising the constant manicure of his lawn, wining and dining Mexican industrialists, and SLAYING the commodities markets, TJ likes to sit down with a cognac, in his smoking jacket, under an oil painting of J.D. Rockefeller riding a dolphin, and drift off to sleep, listening to The Battle Hymn of the Republic through his Bose, and reading the Oxford English Dictionary--first edition, of course.
Trader_Gorge, your ominously worded conspiratorial tone is starting to make me worried about the truthiness of Obama. I fear you know something and are just holding back... Please tell us what you know, save us now from this year's version of the Republican "October Surprise." CONCERNED
HO HO HO Well it's good that the libs are now satisfied with the standard of excellence Bush has provided on the job. They are now lifting him up as the STANDARD for Presidential experience prior to inauguration. ...the depths to which they will stoop to try to rationalize to themselves that Obama is qualified... BUYER'S REMORSE
