“It’s a violation of our most sacred principles as a nation to keep these poor people in squalor in Guantanamo. But let me be clear: none of these murderous animals will be released to wreak havoc on American cities, towns, schools or churches.”

Nothing we did in the past 8 years with regard to the war on terror compromised our values.

We DID compromise our values when Obama started to dry hump Arab warlords and Latin American autocrats.

The toughest issue we will face is trying to find Obama’s birth certificate. It might be in the National Archive where he gave the speech but only Sandy Burglar knows for sure.

Hey Strangelove, you claim that the GOP has no ideas and what were the idea of Kerry about Iraq? What were the ideas during the eight years of Bush? The only thing I remember is that Demos are for abortion and probably now post abortion rights and to rag on the GOP. Orange, I don’t think you are correct in stating the Strawman is a mistake because after 9-11 has happened then anything can happen. I hope your city or Stranglets city is spared.

He read Franz Kafka’s “The Trial” and thought it was an instruction manual.

Spot on and very witty I might add. Kafka in his writings was a master of double speak. Read Kafka’s the hunger artist. You feel like you are puppet and Kafak is pulling the strings. Up and down, right and left, stop and go, the essence of doublespeak and reductio.

I love this quote:

“This is the toughest issue we will face,” Obama declared in a 50-minute address at the National Archives where he said he had inherited a legal “mess” from the Bush administration that had hurt America’s moral standing in the world.

So Barry thinks this is as tough as it’s gonna get for him, after only 100 days and change.

The gall of this Child-King is truly unmeasurable.

“In a nutshell: We must look forward while also remembering that everything is Bush’s fault, and we must not abandon our core ideals unless doing so would make things too difficult for The One.”

Allah’s alltime best line.

What’s disturbing is that you people just seem to think that’s something America should be proud of. I think it just proves that America is a shitty country that will do whatever it takes to maintain its superpower status.

And I thought I went on and on and on with some topics… ack! Ok, I do, but I can at least make a point or two along the way.

On the plus side, can we now ding up President Obama for not using the rule of law and transparency in TARP, bailouts, and the rest of the shinola in the economy. The guy is not following his very own standards, and the more I look at ‘fear mongering’ the more I look at TARP, bailouts and such…
