Of course, that still doesn’t excuse Obama for being comfortable with people who are, at the very least, comfortable with people who support anti-Semitism. But that basically makes him the national version of David Dinkins, waiting for the Middle East version of Crown Heights to blow up and show him exactly what can happen when you put the wrong people with the wrong ideas in charge of American policy in such a volatile part of the world.

Ever get that feeling that The One is watching his Presidency slip between his fingers into a festering, oozing, puss puddle on the ground?

HOPE

And the WashPost editors will be balanced right up until the time they endorse the next Democrat candidate for president.

It was his attitudes toward the ChiComs that probably killed him, although his remarks about Israel and “the Zionist Lobby” that got the attention.

Both were disgusting, but the China comments probably made it impossible for the Obama admin to go all in for him.

Well, I will be at the Russian Embassy next Tuesday Evening

Now, now, didn’t Bush get accused of doing the same thing with DOJ attorneys? Obama pulls the same crap, I’m POSITIVE that Henry Waxman will get right on it!

Hahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!

Charles, at least have the good grace to accept your freefall from the commanding heights with a little dignity.
Or, on the other hand, you could choose to denounce the Israel lobby as the nefarious power lurking in the shadows.
Hate to tell you this,…

I think chapter 6, verse 7, of Paul’s letter to the Galatian Christians pretty much covers the topic.

are you working for Putin ?

I thought Blair was a pretty good pick for DNI, especially considering what we could’ve gotten, but if Blair agrees with Freeman’s stances, thats very bad news for us. We can’t have a guy like that in charge of the IC.

First, he has the black vote tied up. He had around 92% support. The black community will support him no matter what. It may go down some, but not by much. That is roughly 25% of the popular vote right there. The electoral college aspect of it gives him almost the entire rust belt for a total of 79 electoral votes when you combine it with the union vote.

I agree, but any Dem would have 92% of the AA vote in almost any given election. Normally that would account for about 11-12% nationally (they represenet 14% of the population but historically do not turnout proportionately)… what BHO got in 2008 was turnout, particularly in the South. NC went for Dole over popular incumbant Clinton by about 6 points (hard to imagine, but true)… just 12 years later BHO won the state with relavtive ease.

In the South, the AA vote is heavier (e.g. 25% in NC) which keeps NC and VA most likely safe in the BHO column with GA possibly in play.

The ONLY hope for a GOP victory any time soon would be for a depressed turnout on the Left or in the AA community to be coupled with a heavy turnout on the Right (which never materialized for McCain).

I think the GOP should go after the AA community on social issues. Hey, even shaving off two or three points would be a great accomplishment and maybe lead to a tipping point.

Did you read the post?

how did Obama pass 1st grade?

We are not he did, those records are sealed up remember…

Great, keep all the executive power and politicize all agencies.

Just to be fair.

Just when I thought you couldn’t possibly get any dumber, you and go and exceed my expectations.

Are you able to feed yourself?
