		<description>Hey Ed.  I thought you should know this.  There is an AOL Hot Seat Poll posted right now by a guy named Ken Layne from Wonkette asking &quot;Did Jenna Bush&#039;s wedding heal America&quot;?  A. Yes, she looked beautiful.  B.  No, damage is done.  C.  Foreclosures continue!</description>

		<description>Clueless. The oh-so intelligent man is absolutely clueless, but Do NOT refer to ...

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_051608/content/01125112.guest.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;his ears
his mother
his father
his grandmother [he brings her up as a &quot;typical white person]
his wife
his preacher
his terrorist friends
his voting record
his religion [whatever that is]
his appeasement proposals
his color
his lack of color
race

We can&#039;t talk about bombers and mobsters who are his friends. We can&#039;t talk about schooling. We can&#039;t talk about his name, &quot;Hussein.&quot; 

We can&#039;t talk about his lack of experience. Can&#039;t talk about his income. Can&#039;t talk about his flag pin. 

This started out we can&#039;t call him a liberal.

It started out we just couldn&#039;t talk about his ears. &lt;/a&gt;

My father-in-law has decided that Barack is just another Muslim who supports terrorists. I guess &lt;strike&gt;he &lt;/strike&gt; we shouldn&#039;t say that either.</description>

		<description>Although I’m no longer a qualified programmer, I could still write a program to support the left’s considered, thoughtful, in-depth assessment of any of Bush’s decisions, actions, or policies. It’s really not too difficult.

Instructions: Type any Bush activity and touch Enter.

The program code:
Step 1. Accept input from keyboard. 
Step 2. Display “WRONG”.
Step 3. Go to Step 1.

That’s pretty much it. No pesky IF conditions, no evaluation of variables, no complex arguments, just the results as predefined in the specs written by a consortium of the DNC, Kos, Huffington, MSM, etc.. It’s obvious they’ve been using a similar program for years.

Imagine that, Bush is sheer perfection – he’s ALWAYS wrong! We should be able to harness this unique ability and steer the country in the right direction by doing exactly the opposite of what the prez proposes. What a concept. How could we go wrong?

BTW, I’ll donate any license revenue to charity, I’m glad I could help.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;He’s going to talk to them both without preconditions and with preconditions.

And he expects everyone else to ignore that he contradicts himself at this and almost every other turn.

		<description>Whoa, did my earlier comment get lost?  I thought it was there and now I can&#039;t find it.  My mind is Jello today.

I&#039;ll try and remember it and repeat it here, sorry if it is a repeat:

Ed, 

I had the same thought back when you made your post on the 15th, I wrote:
&lt;a href=&quot;http://rotstar.blogspot.com/2008/05/obama-capitulates-agrees-bush-foreign.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Obama Capitulates -- Agrees Bush Foreign Policy Is Correct&lt;/a&gt;

I had sent that post by Email to tip addresses but it didn&#039;t get linked.

I had the same thing happened with Jack Kelly&#039;s Obama History Lesson column.  The day before he wrote his column I had written:
&lt;a href=&quot;http://rotstar.blogspot.com/2008/05/obamas-role-model-diplomacy-that-nearly.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Obama&#039;s Role Model -- Diplomacy That Nearly Destroyed the World&lt;/a&gt; (Posted it early AM May 8, sent it around -- including the tip line here, and included it in comments around the web and got about 30 hits but it didn&#039;t get picked up).

Luckily &lt;a href=&quot;http://rotstar.blogspot.com/2008/05/at-least-someone-is-on-my-wavelength.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Jack made the same points the next day&lt;/a&gt; and his got picked up so the word got out.

I have a neurological degeneration that makes the thoughts hard to put on &lt;strike&gt;paper &lt;/strike&gt;, um screen but I keep trying.  Great minds think alike, just wish mine still worked the way it did a few years ago.

		<description>Waiting for Obama&#039;s new position on Iran tomorrow.

More limber than a carnival contortionist.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;The Bush Doctrine toward Iran has only been a “failure” in so far as the voices of the Appeasers have managed to embolden Ahmadinejad and the mullahs. If the world got its act together and spoke with one voice long enough to change the regime, there would be the “hope &amp; change” the Iranian people want, and the world would be a much safer place.

		<description>Wow, I saw the same thing two days ago after reading your post of May 15, 2008.  That day I wrote:

&lt;a href=&quot;http://rotstar.blogspot.com/2008/05/obama-capitulates-agrees-bush-foreign.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Obama Capitulates -- Agrees Bush Foreign Policy Is correct!&lt;/a&gt;

I sent a copy to tip lines around the net.  I just can&#039;t get any of my tips linked.

Another example is the widely linked column by Jack Kelly about Obama and History.  I wrote virtually the same points at least a day before he did (&lt;a href=&quot;http://rotstar.blogspot.com/2008/05/obamas-role-model-diplomacy-that-nearly.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Obama&#039;s Role Model -- Diplomacy That Nearly Destroyed The World&lt;/a&gt;)-- sent it as news tips (specifically to Hot Air) -- &lt;a href=&quot;http://rotstar.blogspot.com/2008/05/at-least-someone-is-on-my-wavelength.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;and posted it around the net but couldn&#039;t get a link&lt;/a&gt; (but did get 30 or so hits -- wonder where Mr. Kelly lives?).  The good news is that &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/05/obama_needs_to_study_history_b.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Mr. Kelly got the word out&lt;/a&gt;.


Glad to be in the company of great thinkers -- wish I could be as eloquent and get linked -- my neurological illness sometimes gets in the way between my mind and my fingers.

		<description>Does anyone beside me notice that Ed looks a little like Tony Soprano?

Obama in my opinion, views Iraq like many other liberals do, in a MSM News byte.  Very small, bias and without any factual evidence.

Shades of Kucinich logic.... if you can equate any logic to it.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Obama didn’t come out swinging, he’s starting to drown. His Iran policy has swerved all over the map, and now he’s adopted the policy he called a huge failure. All of the shrieking and silly claims of victimization can’t hide the fact that he has no clue about foreign policy or even what appeasement means, and his drift from “without preconditions” to the Bush policy of diplomatic and economic isolation over the last few weeks clearly shows it.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

On the positive side, this does mean that we are forcing Obama into a more reasonable foreign policy.  In the sad event of an Obama victory, we&#039;ll have mitigated some of the damage he&#039;ll do.  Unfortunately, once Obama is president, he&#039;ll stop listening to us and will do stupid things.  (I do believe that the word &quot;stupid&quot; should be used sparingly, but it sure fits here.)</description>

		<description>The Bush Doctrine toward Iran has only been a &quot;failure&quot; in so far as the voices of the &lt;strong&gt;Appeasers&lt;/strong&gt; have managed to embolden Ahmadinejad and the mullahs. If the world got its act together and spoke with one voice long enough to change the regime, there would be the &quot;hope &amp; change&quot; the Iranian people want, and the world would be a much safer place.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;If Republicans think that they can take the White House on the strength of calling Obama an appeaser, Neville Chamberlain’s reincarnation, with not even a clue about foreign policy, while being basically bereft of anything positive (and McCain’s clueless cap-and-trade proposal to fight “Global warming” doesn’t count) to offer themselves anymore, they will lose in November.

All too true Im afraid

&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_general_election,_1945&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;UK Election 1945&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt; resulted in the shock election defeat of the Conservatives led by Winston Churchill and the landslide victory of the Labour Party led by Clement Attlee, who won a majority of 145 seats.

The result of the election was almost totally unexpected, given the heroic status of Winston Churchill, but reflected the voters&#039; belief that the Labour Party were better able to rebuild the country following the war than the Conservatives. Churchill and the Conservatives are also generally considered to have run a poor campaign in comparison to Labour; Churchill&#039;s statement that Attlee&#039;s program would require a Gestapo-esque body to implement is considered to have been particularly poorly judged. Equally, whilst voters respected and liked Churchill&#039;s wartime record, they were more broadly distrustful of the Conservative Party&#039;s domestic and foreign policy record in the late thirties. (It is worth remembering that the last election had been held in 1935, and voters had been given no opportunity, due to the war, to &quot;let off steam&quot; electorally between then and 1945.) Labour had also been given, during the war, the opportunity to display to the electorate their domestic competence in government under men such as Attlee, Herbert Morrison and Ernest Bevin at the Ministry of Labour.

The Labour Party ran on promises to create full employment, a tax funded universal National Health Service, and a cradle-to-grave welfare state, with the sensational campaign message of &#039;let us face the future.&#039;&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>BHO is the pinball. Enjoy the game, folks. The best that pinhead can do is play follow the leader into office.

Ed, I think you are too kind in granting BHO any more maturity given another 12 years of life, as he&#039;s too stuck thriving in his own littleness to CHANGE himself. How has Obama matured given his past 12 years of life experience? His &quot;relevance&quot; in today&#039;s liberal domain relies on Obama NOT changing himself. Against the odds of their conservative conversion, their only maturity will be the deteriorating rot desicating the liberal domain.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Obama’s sudden outrage over a speech by George Bush that had &lt;b&gt;nothing&lt;/b&gt; to do with him.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Nothing&lt;/b&gt; to do with him? &lt;b&gt;Nothing?&lt;/b&gt; Like zip, zilzh, zero, nada? That doesn&#039;t even pass the smell test.

&lt;blockquote&gt;All of the shrieking and silly claims of victimization can’t hide the fact that he has no clue about foreign policy or even what appeasement means&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;So the constitutional scholar is all for unconstitutional measures to manipulte foreign policy and pander to his base.

Beto Ochoa on May 17, 2008 at 11:24 AM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

It&#039;s a cruel joke that obambi&#039;s supposedly a lauded &#039;constitutional scholar&#039;. 

It just shows how low the affirmative action bar for such &#039;scholarship&#039; has been set. And how badly off-track our &#039;higher&#039; education system really is.</description>
