POPSThe Obama Escalation, Too Sad To Watch.
When I saw President Obama give his speech last night on why he is sending more to die in this Godforsaken Bush/Cheney war in Afghanistan. I felt like I was Yogi Berrer uttering, "This is like deja vu all over again."... But this time is wasn’t War Monger Dubya speaking, it was the "Change You Can Believe In” and the, “Every time I speak about my hope for America, the cynics in Washington roll their eyes.”, Barack Obama. The man who once asked before his election, “I ask you to believe-not just in my ability to bring about real change in Washington. I'm asking you to believe in yours.” ... YEAH RIGHT Mr. President, and may I ask… “WHAT HAPPENED TO DIPLOMACY TO END THIS WAR? I now realize that was never really in the cards was it?” I believe, Our President wants us to brace ourselves for this war in Afghanistan becoming another Vietnam! thinkingblue “You can no more win a war than you can win an earthquake.” - Jeannette Rankin Also - http://www.thethinkingblue.com/escalate.html

POPSDon't know what they're asking for Medicare is the single most popular government program, hands down. It runs effectively and efficiently (at least until Dubya messed with it). All this nonsense about the government not being able to run anything properly is nothing but a desperate lie from the people who are gouging you out of your hard earned money to support their extravagant lifestyles. Multiple houses? Gold plated cuttlery? More vehicles than people in the household? Personal Jets? These are just some of the things your healthcare dollars are being spent on, rather than on your healthcare. And you don't benefit from them at all. And to make things worse, there's a good chance that when you do file a claim for needed healthcare, your insurance company will deny your claim, or even cancel your coverage! American doesn't need Healthcare Reform? Bullshit!!

POPSFunny thing about the Right-Wingers... ... no one's mentioning the obnoxious expenses that Dubya tallied up giving personal dinner parties at his ranch, nor the huge amount of expenses spent on being the President who spent the most time on Vacation of any US President. Just more hypocrisy from the right wing.

POPSGOP Losing Support Among Nearly All Demographic Groups I remember saying to myself back in 2000 that if there was anything positive that could come out of Dubya being president was that they would finally push things too far and the country would turn against them. Remember young Americans: when you think "Republicans", think Iraq, Katrina, massive corporate greed, the Patriot Act, the TSA, and Econopocalypse.

POPSMad Hatters Interesting how these anti-tax protesters were sitting on their asses, smiling like idiots as Dubya spent just as much money, and was driving the debt up even faster by giving tax cuts only to the richest 1% of the population, effectively increasing the typical citizen's tax burden even greater. I declare them all hypocrites in the first degree.

POPSClipping the Clueless, Part 2 Funny how all the right-wing pundits and cartoonists are tilting at this "massive debt/massive budget" windmill, considering that in 2008, Dubya tabled a budget that was only $200 million cheaper than Obama's current one, and at least Obama is taking steps to reduce the debt in the future, unlike the Republicans who always just increased debt at insane levels. Cartoonist Michael Ramirez wins the Golden Hypocrite Award for this week.

POPSGood Riddence! "But people were getting rich and that has taken priority over all other things during the Bush regime. We are now nearly six years into a “war” (invasion and occupation is more accurate) which was justified with lies about WMD’s. Yes, they were lies. They would reprise that “asleep at the wheel and then feign shock and dismay” routine when hurricane Katrina wiped out New Orleans after many warnings that that was an inevitability if the levy system wasn’t upgraded. Dubya has a legacy alright. Just how bad history will view it will be determined over the next few years as we struggle out of all the crises he’s leaving behind. We have all suffered enough. "

POPSDubya dissed by world leaders: Or is it? [SEE COMMENTS] 11/21/08 Okay, CNN has come out with the official explanation . Maybe it wasn't an official snub after all. Protocol & all that. I still bet Angela Merkel thinks Bush is a dick and that he'll be remembered as the WORST PRESIDENT EVAR! We liberals don't hate America, we love America. We just hate Bush and what he stands for and what he's done to the country. Nor do we think speaking bad of the Great Leader is disloyalty to the state like the right-wing Kool-Aid drinkers seem to. ORIG COMMENT: Notice how the WORST AMERICAN PRESIDENT IN HISTORY doesn't even make eye contact with Angela Merkel of Germany, nor she with him. Guess she figures getting groped on camera by a by him once before was enough. There's an old Irish saying that 19 world leaders seem to have gotten wind of: Touch the Devil and you can't let go.

POPSPalin to Play Softball with ABC That'd be the same Charlie Gibson who once asked Dubya , "You took a lot of doubting and rather skeptical questions about the surge. I'll give you a chance to crow. Do you want to say, I told you so?" And it's the same Gibson who helped turn the Pennsylvania Democratic Primary debate into an an attack on Barack Obama . Geez, was Bill O'Reilly too busy do it or what? Expect a lot of softball questions, softened with Nerf.

POPSHow to Honor the U.S. Flag Since republicans have made flag politics a cornerstone of their campaigns (instead of trying to solve problems that face average Americans everyday), you would think the leader of the conservatives and republicans wouldn't keep disrespecting the flag as he does here and on opening night of the olympics. However, I do think this symbolizes something very profound. America has gone backward under Bush and the republican presidency. Sheesh, what a moron. Can we be done with the republicans already?

POPSObama born to Muslim Martians! Hey, believe that and I've got a bridge on the MOON to sell ya! Good Gobbly Goop, there are too many gullibles in the USA. Sometimes, I get a notion to post on the Internet, something so outrageous, that only a person living on some mountaintop without any info at hand and with an IQ of minus 10, could believe. Just to see how breakneck fast it would go from computer to computer. Then I’ll sit back and listen to the, collective shouts of the 'Uninformed" yelling, "I TOLD YOU SO, I KNEW OBAMA WAS A DIRTY WHATCHAMACALLIT!" We sure are a nation of nincompoops (Well, too many, anyhow.). It's scary, that countless "informationally challenged" will vote for a USA president, based on rumors and negative hearsay of the opposition. What's so stressful, is that not only they, will live with the consequences but the rest of us who have half a brain will also have to live with their boneheaded mindsets. Just for fun, let's have another 8 years of Dubya to see what how low we could go. :eek:

POPSIs The Thrill Gone For Obama Supporters? Obama Fades? I can't speak for anyone else but for me his glow has dimmed, since he started wearing that flag lapel pin. While living through years of the worst president the US has had at the helm, I could identify the enemy or the Bush supporters by their Bush/Neocon fraternity pins. And I could direct my anger even before the Bushy sycophants opened their bombastic collective rhetorical pie-holes and blather the some ole, same ole. So the flag label pin had become a symbol of pretentious superciliousness to me. Of course, with Obama pandering to the "R's" and the "I's" who voted for Dubya and helped ruin our country and make us a laughing stock all over the world (Remember the headline from the UK’s Daily Mirror: How Can 1,230,065 People Be So Dumb?) may have a little to do with the Obama Fade From Grace. But that PIN is all I see when this eloquent orator takes center stage and its glare has a blinding effect on the reflection of the man behind that "R" studded brooch. :-(
