This picture tells you everything you need to know about this Administration and these two men. One would never know that they are the most powerful men in the world. They’re just two Dads, sitting on a bench, consciences clear, enjoying each other’s company, taking care of kids. And the kids in question (represented by the elf in the picture) see them as people they can trust. It’s perfect.
All is well Admiral. I reported for duty yesterday in the middle of me water works.:-D I really missed you guys and felt humbled by all of you that kept me and mine in your thoughts and prayers.
The love on this site coupled with PBO’s message to Vietnam vets, set me free….Hard to explain. I dip my flag to you and all that post here.
Back atcha prettyfoot. BTW. I love your avatar. I’ve a bit of a fetish about ladies shoes. Your avatar is what us geezers would call TMDTCFM’s. Don’t ask………
Donald Trump: "I'm not racist. I just know something's fishy when a black guy like Obama does better in life than a rich white guy like me."— Top Conservative Cat (@TeaPartyCat) May 29, 2012
If he actually said that Trump is a very sick man.I hope for the sake of his soul that he was misquoted. If not, he should use some of his money to see a psychiatrist.
amk for obama, that says it all right there. Trump is not a racists, it’s just something fishy when some black guy name Obama does better than a rich white guy like me.

Fmr classmate of Obama & Romney predicts "Barack will smoke Romney" in debates @MaraGay reports bit.ly/LzQnS0— Michael Falcone (@michaelpfalcone) May 29, 2012
He said he has “tremendous respect” for both men. But Obama, said Barthwell, made a more striking impression.
“It’s Harvard Law School, so you’re not surprised if someone ends up doing something impressive. But even there, it was clear he was brilliant,” Barthwell said of Obama.
Within the tradition- steeped, competitive culture of Cranbrook, the prestigious boarding school in Bloomfield Hills, Mich., Barthwell said Romney, while clearly smart, was far from a standout.
“Mitt was not particularly popular. He was very, very ordinary. He was an average Cranbrook student,” said Barthwell, 64.
“He was not an athlete, he was not a student leader, he was not a scholar. The thing that separated Mitt there was that his father was the governor of Michigan.”
You can see this in a lot of these legacy frat babies like Willard, Dubya and Trump. They are completely average (or worse) in every way and if they didn’t have the fathers and privilege they have, they wouldn’t have amounted to anything. Willard and Dubya had everything handed to them and they still want more just by virtue of who they happen to have been born as. They are both low IQ screw-up brats, chickenhawk warmongers, incurious about the world, unimaginative businessmen without rationale as to why they should be/should have been president — except that it’s “their turn.” Look how they respond to any type of perceived slight to their ego — like petulant, spoiled, adolescent brats and bullies.
No wonder they are puzzled, angered, and jealous of true brilliance like PBO possesses. It totally craps on their whole idiotic worldview.
I have a feeling this isn’t the kind of supportive comment Romney’s people were looking for, to counter the reports of his bullying and assault of a young boy while at prep school.
I think it’s the best description of Bush and Romney I ever saw
”They are both low IQ screw-up brats, chickenhawk warmongers, incurious about the world, unimaginative businessmen without rationale as to why they should be/should have been president — except that it’s “their turn.”
Either medicated or absent. Bet he’s trying to find a way out of any debates altogether. He can’t even conduct a softball interview without pouring sweat. He’s probably going to need a Depends for a debate.
I’m really sick of this party telling our duly elected POTUS to “sit down and shut up.” Is PBO supposed to sit like a good little boy with his hands folded in his lap while Mittens lies and lies and whose policies will plunge this country into oblivion?
Bain is the reason to vote for you but attacking Bain is ‘personal’?!?!?! Sneering that “even Jimmy Carter would have given that order” isn’t a personal attack?!?!?!
What an unmitigated ass this guy is. He accuses the president of everything in the book and then recoils when his own record is questioned. The president is never personal. He just states the facts.
Just hours before joining Mitt Romney at a campaign fundraising event in Nevada, Donald Trump decided to spend even more time spewing nonsense about his favorite conspiracy theory.
//
Leaders — those with character and courage, who command respect — are supposed to know better. But Romney has a list of priorities, and demonstrating leadership isn’t on it.
Incidentally, Igor Volsky noted that in October, when Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) partnered with right-wing pastor Robert Jeffress, Romney demanded that Perry “repudiate” him. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R), a leading Romney surrogate, added that for a national candidate to stand with a offensive character was “beneath the office of president of the United States.”
One wonders if Romney thinks he’ll look presidential in Las Vegas tonight.
Perhaps we should just say what it is…Romney is a birther too….
on one hand he says that he is not a birther/but then on the hand he won’t condemn birtherism…and has placed a big time birther FRONT AND CENTER in his campaign
Remember the movie Sixth Sense where the boy says ” I see dead people…..they are all around me…..they walk around like everyone else….they don’t even know they are dead ” ?
I use that line all the time….only I change the word ” dead ” to ” dumb “

Collapse Expand Yes, I heard Mr. Joe Madison (the Black Eagle) talking about that this morning. He participated in a round-table event this past weekend (I believe it was some gathering of black trade union workers not sure) and members of the CBC spoke candidly about the tactics of the Rethuglicans, including them not allocating money for the plumbing to be upgraded at the First Family’s living quarters. Joe mentioned he would play this entire round-table talk some time this week.
The Obama family has put up with a lot. And they are accused of spending taxpayer dollars for their private use? After working and winning the Presidency fair and square, and then putting up with mind-numbing stupidity and hate-filled nonsense, you know they have to really love this country to endure four more years of this. This story makes my heart hurt. This country better come through for them.
TWO WISCONSIN STATIONS DEVOTE MORE AIRTIME TO SCOTT WALKER SUPPORTERS | As the recall election of Gov. Scott Walker (R-WI) nears, a media group is arguing that certain Wisconsin radio stations devote a disproportionate amount of air time to Walker’s fans, while effectively silencing supporters of Tom Barett, his opponent. The Media Action Center released a letter today saying that Wisconsin Recall radio coverage was extremely tilted toward Walker on two different stations — WISN and WTMJ, which are owned by the right-leaning media company Clear Channel. In one day alone, the group found that anti-Barret, pro-Walker rhetoric took up 49 minutes, while the reverse had only two minutes of airtime. The numbers were equally drastic for pro-Democratic verus anti-Democratic coverage. The Media Action Center sent their letter to the FCC, arguing that the stations are violating the Zapple Doctrine, which says stations must give equal amounts of free promotion to every candidate in the 60 days leading up to the election.
Good Day:-)
Hey Kasai! Congratulations!

Oh I love when FLOTUS said, looking directly at E Hasselbeck….”and that’s why he’s been such a phenomenal President”.
….and do I agree with her……..they’re both so fantastic…what a couple
We are so incredibly fortunate to have this phenomenal woman in our midst!!!!
FLOTUS is simply the best.

The proper term is seamanship. C’mon Admiral shape up or ship out.

Bingo. There it is. It must suck….for them.
Please tell me this is not true this is low even for him.
Did Trump really say that???
If he actually said that Trump is a very sick man.I hope for the sake of his soul that he was misquoted. If not, he should use some of his money to see a psychiatrist.

Not that we didn’t know
Thanks…that was interesting.

I suspect Willard knows this, too. I expect him to be fully medicated during the debates.
Some quotes from this article:

Brilliant. Thanks 57andfemale!

It felt good, Christi.
Either medicated or absent. Bet he’s trying to find a way out of any debates altogether. He can’t even conduct a softball interview without pouring sweat. He’s probably going to need a Depends for a debate.
Don’t forget that he wears his magic Mormon underwear.
He will probably do a “Sarah Palin!”
How can be be a classmate of both the president and Romney when there is a 15 year difference between them?
I guess, nobody on this blog is from Wisconsin? Pity!
Robney just said on FOX- Obama is going after me personally. He said, look I am an American, I love this Country.
As opposed to…
Oh good…very good…..no wonder he palls around with racists……as you say Jovie….as opposed to??
What time is the pity party ?
Oh dear.
I’m going to tweet that,.
I’m really sick of this party telling our duly elected POTUS to “sit down and shut up.” Is PBO supposed to sit like a good little boy with his hands folded in his lap while Mittens lies and lies and whose policies will plunge this country into oblivion?

Exactly, going after is job creation claim is a personal attack…….
“oh …. I dunno … my skin is green and I am from Mars.” Dumb Ass. Perdonne me mi francais.
I love President Obama and VP Joe Biden.
What an unmitigated ass this guy is. He accuses the president of everything in the book and then recoils when his own record is questioned. The president is never personal. He just states the facts.
He is a cry baby. As HarryTruman said: “If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the Kitchen.”
Heads up!
This is rich:)

I know there’s no limit to their hypocricy but this is too much:
”Romney Surrogate Claims Campaign Ignored ‘The Attack On Mrs. Romney’ From Hilary Rosen”
Oh my effing God. Mrs. Romney herself used it, for God’s sake!
The hyenas are at it as always. Bombarding Jay Carney with a bunch of gotcha questions. That front row is occupied by a hateful lot.
They have a set of questions Rove and Robney Campaign, gives Them. It’s obvious.
Remember the movie Sixth Sense where the boy says ” I see dead people…..they are all around me…..they walk around like everyone else….they don’t even know they are dead ” ?
I use that line all the time….only I change the word ” dead ” to ” dumb “
You’re both right but it still irks the hell outta me!
