they are fools, led by the biggest fool of all.

Their president, not mine.

As soon as Obama said “If you look my statements throughout the campaign…” I knew he was about to lie to us. The man is simply and completely incapable of telling the truth.

Thanks, Democrats. Now we have another compulsive liar in the White House to manage for the next four years. Nice going.

It would be interesting to hear how some Democrats in the public eye explain the stark difference between this transition and the last one. To me, this says everything that needs to be said about the difference between Republicans and Democrats. Indeed, after the uncivil shame of the Clinton transition, it says everything that can be said.

Springsteen was always a liberal, but he knew how to rock. But ever since he put out Nebraska every hit sounds alike: maudlin and devoid of melody.

“If you look at my statements throughout the campaign… I always thought that he was a good guy.”

Good grief, has this guy ever heard of videotape? We know what you said.

Empirical evidence is racist.

Since empirical reality doesn’t support one single plank of the Democratic platform (I checked), it must be racist, sexist and homophobic.

Do y’all know Obama doesn’t intend to give up his BlackBerry? Said something about, “We can beat this thing back.”

I’m wondering if that doesnt’ tie into the gym thing. I can’t understand why he’s so gung ho about going to the gym in chicago.

However, here is a tinfoil hat scenario. …

Obama wants to keep in contact with billy ayers and similar scumballs. He can’t very well call billy on the whitehouse phone with the Secret service monitoring it and say somehting like “Well Bill looks like we are well on the road to establishing a communist state here. Are you all ready with your re-education program? ” or… “Hey tony, I wanna buy a house in DC but can’t quite afford it and by the way, I know you are looking for some legislations regarding the size of the hospital board ”

So, what is an obvious tom-clancy way of doing things…

Well, you simply have a couple of people with memberships at the gym. The day before obama goes, they tape a memory card behind the toilet paper holder in the third stall from the left. Obama goes in to take a dump and grabs the card, throws it in his blackberry and puts on the earphones. There is Billy Ayers via MP3 reminding him of his mission. Next MP3 is a legislation for money offer etc etc. Barryo can just text his orders/replies onto the card, delete the previous stuff and someone picks the card up the next day.

The SS would only be sweeping for something dangerous.. I doubt that they would ever look for something as small as a memory card.

Anyway, the gym would make a perfect place for a deaddrop ala tom clancy’s Cardinal in the Kremlin.

/tinfoil hat – too much tom clancy

Not just the behavior of the departing administration, but of the incoming administration!

I don’t recall Bush acting like the President in the 10 weeks before his first inauguration: no weekly messages on the radio, no press conferences several times a week, no meetings with foreign leaders and dignitaries, no press reporting his every move and utterance, and Bush’s cabinet picks were dutifully reported by the press without much fanfare.

PEBO thinks and acts like he’s already President, except when he’s asked to give strong opinions on current events – then he falls back on the ‘one President at a time’ (”Don’t look at me – ’s’not my job yet!”) mantra.

I agree with Rush: BO is in permanent campaign mode – always running for President, but he doesn’t really want the responsibility of doing the job of the President.
