“Hope and change” continues to run into real world realities. I like what Mitt Romney said about Pres BO and Gitmo:

Ouch!

Reminded me of a time when I was in the 6th grade.

Didn’t do so well on a test and as the teacher, in class, would give the test back to the students “with comments”

When I got my test back she said, “ That’s okay, the word needs ditch diggers too”

Uncle,

Sorry I wasn’t more clear. That was sarcasim. The Messiah criticized everything Bush did to keep us safe, but now he is following more and more of the Bush policies. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be mentioned in the main stream media. Nobody calls him on it. He kept Gates. He is following the policy on rendition. He appears to be going back to military tribunals. Why isn’t anybody else saying; “Well, maybe Bush was right about some things?”

Obama will have to answer for this bit of MSM unreported news, too. It's Bill Clinton ~and his turning down an offer of Osama Bin Laden~ all over again. Barry must wear reversible jackets, he's such a natural at turning his coat.

[...] Ed Morrissey: Hmm. Maybe they should have looked at it a little more before running for President on the promise of ending the only effective manner of trying terrorists captured in foreign countries. Many of us looked at it in much more detail, including Congress. Maybe Barack Obama wasn’t familiar with that, but that was the job he supposedly held before this one – the one where he postured for the Left while his colleagues in both parties worked to fashion a practical system of military tribunals to make sure that we locked up terrorists without damaging national security. But, hey, actual governing is hard — harder than voting present, and certainly harder than casting politically-expedient votes when you know it won’t affect the outcome. [...]

Has anyone noticed the dearth of trolls today?

Cindy Munford on May 2, 2009 at 1:45 PM

The trolls are readying their costumes, flags, and paper machie (sp?) for the organized bus-in of bought-and-paid-for protests on Cinco de Mayo. Their wee-wee party will be celebrated in detail by the media.

“The more they look at it,” said one official, “the more commissions don’t look as bad as they did on Jan. 20.”

That is what happens when you look at things like it is Sept 10th.
