We all know Teleprompter Bambi can read a speech. Let’s see him go up against Dead Eye Dick mano y mano and show off his vaunted Ivy League lawyering.

Wow. 96-0. Maybe some folks are seeing the light…

And maybe I’m showing some numeric dyslexia. That should be 90-6.

Hey! No besmirching the -wald/Eller bundle! That’s sock thespian to you…

Karl: Your posts, too, are well stated and linked. I see a permanent role for you here.

Couldn’t agree more. And not surprised in the least about Karl, Doctor Zero and selected others, given their excellent comments and Green Room activities.

Excellent! I could not have said it better myself.

Karl: Your posts, too, are well stated and linked. I see a permanent role for you here.

VP Cheney: You are my hero in so many ways. Teach the Rookie-in-Chief what it means to be a responsible leader and statesman.

Sad to say, we will not be alive to witness Bush being vindicated by history. Because those historians haven’t been born yet.

Del Dolemonte on May 20, 2009 at 6:25 PM

I probably will be and so will Bush. He knows that and knew it going in. That’s why I find him to be such a remarkable man.

Few people can think past pay day. Most politicians only focus on the next election. And, aside from some parents and a very few of our past and greatest leaders, no one makes decisions based upon outcomes that may not be realized until long after they are gone.

Anyway, I hope sooner. Aside from Obama and a few lefties, it’s pretty much accepted today that Jimmy Carter was a abject failure as president and he’s still kicking around.

In fact, he’s living proof and testament to the short-sightedness of our culture. Most have forgotten how much his liberal polices screwed up this nation (and the world with the Carter-enabled rise of Iran) – forgotten to the point that we’re going to try a whole bunch of them again.

Democrats close national security gap, follow evil Bush policies; Update: Obama schedules speech to upstage Cheney?

Obama is about a petty as a five year old getting some sand thrown at him. It shows he’s not mature enough to handle the job, or the territory that goes with the white house. Heaven help his daughters when they start dating.

So, despite the on-going efforts of liberals and the MSM to depict Bush as a failure to a gullible and short-sighted public, history will prove otherwise, as it will in their attempts to depict Obama as our knight in shining armor even as the cheap chrome plating begins to flake off the imposter’s shield.

BTW if you want to read some real BS, MoDo the DoDo at the NY Fishwrap fell off her rocker again.

the successfully kinetic anti-pirate operation may have something to do with this level of approval

Obama’s act of allowing Navy Seals to shoot 3 Somali pirates is an example of Obama’s “complicated and sophisticated comprehensive diplomacy”? Does Barry’s bowing and scraping before the ludicrous Saudi king qualify as part of his “complicated and sophisticated” diplomacy too? Or how about his begging European allies to take in Gitmo prisoners — and having France agree to accept one, while everybody else told Barry to get stuffed? Or how about his ghetto glad-handing with Hugo Chavez, or his non-stop apology tours? Very “sophisticated” stuff, eh Klein?

One think through. Dick is not Sarah and The O is finding that to his dislike.

Maybe Joe Klein could understand better if he was in a wheelchair…

DCJeff on May 20, 2009 at 2:31 PM

Joe Klien is already handicapped – mentally.

Evidence? This idiotic crap:

We should not underestimate the significance here: Obama is trying to do something far more complicated and sophisticated than Bush–comprehensive diplomacy takes time and great skill. It doesn’t have the immediate satisfactions of a bang-bang, three-week rush to Baghdad

What absolute, total,and complete bullshit. Only someone mentally deficient or drunk on Obama Wine, (in this case I suspect both) would write such drivel. As evidenced by his own myopic words, this man’s an idiot.

Setting aside the stated immediate and short-term reasons for the invasion, (which, by the way, are the only reasons for the justification of anything that most of the public and all liberals are able to cram into their limited capacity, short-sighted brains) the overthrow of Saddam was the foundation for the most comprehensive, far-reaching transformation of the middle east that has ever been attempted in the history in mankind.

So far, despite some near disastrous mistakes, it’s working. No thanks to liberals. No thanks to any democrats save one. No thanks to anyone in the MSM. And certainly no thanks to this wind-sock president we now have.

Had Bush been short-sighted, driven by polls, or swayed by the constant condemnation and ridicule of the MSM, Iraq would now be a festering hell hole.

So, despite the on-going efforts of liberals and the MSM to depict Bush as a failure to a gullible and short-sighted public, history will prove otherwise, as it will in their attempts to depict Obama as our knight in shining armor even as the cheap chrome plating begins to flake off the imposter’s shield.

…Cheney’s been scheduled for weeks to address AEI at 10:45 tomorrow morning about national security. And now, as Goldfarb notes, suddenly The One’s scheduled to give a national security speech of his own at 10:10. ….

Evidence that adults 14 year old girls are in charge.

I am having a very difficult time believing any of the recent polling on a number of different public opinions. Does anyone think that just possibly the polls are being, I don’t know skewed in favor of the Mainstream Media’s creation?

The MSM loses if it’s Media creation loses.

Dr Evil on May 20, 2009 at 3:47 PM

It’s already been well-established that many of the polls are being cooked.

One that al-AP put out 2-3 weeks ago actually sampled twice as many Democrats as Republicans. Twice as many.

The NY Times “poll” has also regularly been busted; they usually sample 14% to 20% more Democrats than Republicans.

As for CNN, two years ago they dumped their longtime polling partner Gallup, and instead cast their lot with Vinod Gupta. He’s a longtime Clinton rumpswab. And they refuse to release their methodology at all, so who knows who they have been talking to?

AnninCA on May 20, 2009 at 4:17 PM

Excuse me, but WHERE you pull the people you poll from can easily change the outcome of a poll. Heck, even the TIME you take the poll can impact the outcome (daytime poll? more likely to get the unemployed or stay at home moms, vs people working… and that WILL skew poll results).

They are not supposed to do this… but when you have polls being published by blatantly biased groups, you have to be carefull with the results.

and that Democrats have drawn about even with Republicans on national security and the war on terrorism

Step one: WE HATE BUSH!!1!1!

Step two: We LOVE OBAMA …because HE’S JUST LIKE BUSH!!

A lot of people have been quoting Ayn Rand lately. Y’all are off the mark. Think 1984 instead, because we clearly have always been at war with Oceana.

The validity of a poll could be easily questioned…

Not really, unless it’s clearly a pull-poll deal or some nonsense on-line.

But polling never really gets to the heart of voters.

That’s obvious, from elections.

Dr Evil on May 20, 2009 at 3:47 PM

Yeah, I kinda wonder that sometimes as well…

One way to easily skew a poll would be to randomly pick New York City folk, or San Fran City folk, vs. small town American folk…. ie… take the polls from perdominantly areas who voted for Bambi… instead of a mixture of areas.

As they never give the AREAS polled… just the results… and “a random selection of Registered voters” type of blurb…. and even then they Skew the numbers to represent what they think the correct political party representation is…

The validity of a poll could be easily questioned…

Will watch Cheney – I trust his judgment & admire his ballsy integrity during this dark time in America. I cannot watch obooba anymore; his face and voice literally make my stomach hurt.

Hope that FOX doesn’t broadcast BO. No need to show him and interrupt our day every time he has a thought. It’s a wonder that the MSM doesn’t show us his morning bathroom routine. Seeing him run his mouth daily is verbal abuse to us all. Soon TV Guide will have to start listing him as a daily regular.

When the rubber hits the road Obama knows that Bush’s policies were right and that they work. Glad to see he’s keeping so many of them in use. But it really highlights his disingenuousness to pander to lefty Bush hatred when campaining on the “failed Bush policies” schtick when he knew those policies would be continued under his administration.

Scrappy on May 20, 2009 at 3:23 PM

And the GOP should openly praise Obama for seeing the error of his previous plans and retaining Pres Bush’s policies. Too many voters have no memory and will need to be reminded that retention of the Bush efforts is being done because THEY WORKED. And it should be restated that it is too bad the Dems couldn’t support them when Pres Bush was in office.
