Yeah, and has made it worse quicker than anyone else in history and ensures that it will go on for years. Hope we can clean house next year and then send this Marxist Mr. (slipping) Popularity with zero experience, catchy phrases and infomercials packing in '12.
 
"While he could not give Mrs. Clinton the vice-president spot this time around, it will be offered (and one assumes taken), in 2012, giving her a good run up for the 2016 elections."

It'd be the second best thing to having Bill back! Gimme Bill! I said it before and I'll say it again: never did I have a time where I could sit back and let everything just happen, and not worry, than during the Clinton years. The only thing I'll ever hold against him is that, if he had to 'cheat,' he could have chosen someone other than P.I.G. Lewinsky!!

Couldn't agree more about Palin's "speech". It was a rambling nearly incoherent mess. Twisted reasoning.

Ten to one odds she's hiding some unpleasant scandal and hoping it won't become news if she leaves office on her own.
 
lawd lawd lawd, They had to wrestle the crown away from Carrie Prejean and Sarah Palin simply "handed" in the key's to the Governor's Mansion. I am thinking there is MORE to the Palin story. Maybe she is gonna help Gov. Sanford, until things "settle-down" :-)
 
Part of me hopes Palin does run in 2012. She lost the election for John McCain, she'd lose it again for the Republican Party.

But I agree it's astonishing how our Neocon-run media is spinning this story. E.g. try visiting www.reuters.com and see the top three stories, you'd think Palin formally announced her candidacy today. I guess Reuters has a soft spot for quitters.
 
I'm Betting On Scandal:

A State Governor announcing she's resigning, the day before Independence Day?

I can't help thinking something big's going on. Timing like that is either very naive or very necessary.

I'd gladly welcome Bill and Hillary back to The White House.
Clinton was a moderate, and fiscal conservative. He did screw the gay community on "Don't ask, Don't tell" though.

Obama, on the other hand is a radical.

Sorry, just my opinion. =)
 
Obama is not a radical. He's simply keeping his campaign promises, on which he was elected president.

In fact the biggest criticism leveled at Obama so far is that he tries way too hard to appease Republicans.
 
I surely can't see how Obama can be called radical. He's continued Bush's large government bailouts of bankrupt institutions when it's generally accepted that the alternative is an unacceptable loss of American jobs, and he's trying to get some sort of agreement on health care. The latter has been an issue for many years and it looks like the solution will use existing private insurance companies, which is hardly radical.

Take a good look at the changes wrought by FDR's administration in the '30s and you'll see some radical thought at work, way more than Obama could dream of.
 
No need to be sorry, Shane!

Yes, DADT sucked, sucks and will continue to suck.

But, as we're both not "one issue voters," there are certain things we'd give up for the greater good! I know I potentially gave up locking up the borders when I wrote Hillary in for '08!

Oh, really?

Tell that to the countless number of gay supporters who were suckered by Obama's promises of
overturning DOMA and "Don't ask, Don't tell".

If memory serves me correct, he promised to do this within the first 100 days of his Presidency.

Make all the excuses for him you wish. If he doesn't accomplish this before next year;s midterms, it won't happen.
Mark my words, the Dems will lose seats in Congress next year. It always happens. Then, all will be lost.
 
The Republicans already know the next election is as good as lost. That was the situation with incumbent Presidents Reagan and Clinton as well. The GOP is just going to throw a long shot as it has nothing to loose it will likely be a woman or a Mormon.... However a third party spoiler could mix things up, say someone who calls out President Obama for being the closet gay hater that he is, as Nader is also a gay hater it can’t be him.

Its OK with me that he is a hater as long as he panders to me for my vote and money. Unless/until he comes through on DOMA or "Don't ask, Don't tell" (at this point I can accept just one), He and the national Democratic party are cut off from my bank account. I take joy in sending empty envelopes with this message when they ask for donations and got hung up on by someone who called asking for funds last week.

As has been pointed out already NOW is the time that he must act if he is serious, the historic trend is for the presidents party to loose seats in congress during the mid cycle election.
 
Shane, the man has been in office six months, and unlike his predecessor, who was a virtual dictator (governing via executive orders, signing statements etc), Obama works by consensus as much as possible. He's not going to rescind DADT until consensus is reached on a new policy.

IMO criticism of Clinton for DADT is valid, however it's also true that, compared to the policy it replaced, DADT was a huge step forward for gay people.
 
No,

Obama is looking out for himself, just like any politican.

The democrats like Obama won with votes by moderate and conservative democrats along with republicans unhappy with GWB. Those votes could go either way in any election and Obama is NOT going to tick anyone off. The man is the most vanilla "cellophane" blackman one has ever seen. He said little to nothing during his election run, and it is still that way. Everything is spoken of in general terms while he stands up there looking Sidney Poitier slick.

Democrats won victories in VERY marginal districts, especially in the Mid-West and the South. They know very well those seats could swing back if too much liberal left comes out of the White House.

Obama has to also contend with the Black churches, another VERY powerful group. Now that electing a first black president of the United States is done, there isn't going to be that same pull if Obama does things that does not please them

One said it the time when you all elected that man, it is not going to be possible to make everyone happy, somebody is going to leave the table with their belly less than full. Now that democrats control both houses of government and the White House all this whinging about republicans holding things up and or other such nonesense is moot.
 
Stick her on a melting chunk of ice and set it adrift! Who would give a rat's ass what happened to the dumb broad? Obama in 2012 all the way!!!
