You know, the issues the American people really care about…

Whites have lead the world in science, economics, art, government, medical, innovation, exploration, music, and culture for thousands of years.

Hmmmm. If your definition of ‘white’ is anybody whose skin is paler than an espresso then I guess you could be correct … otherwise ‘thousands of years’ seems to be stretching it a bit.

The Muslim world did preserve some knowledge during the European “Dark Ages”, but after the Europeans of the time demonstrated what they had learned in engineering, and the military arts, during the Middle Ages. The Muslims burned their libraries in the name of Allah.

If you want to talk balls, have the balls to say balls, not “testicular fortitude.” When you repeatedly use a silly, worn out euphemism for an unremarkable metaphor, it’s time to seek professional help.

Ironically the person in the GOP with the most testicular fortitude is Sarah Palin.

Just edging out Liz Cheney.

His interference in the primary at least corresponds to his top-down policy preferences.

Funny how Barry knows best when it comes to policy-making, but when it comes to ‘spreading the wealth around’ he believes in bottom-up (so long as he can steal from the top to pay for it).

If Democrats can push back against Obama, maybe Republicans can find their testicular fortitude as well.

Not with both hands, a flashilight, and GPS.

This is the analog to the Republican consternation over the Florida Senate race, with Obama playing the role of the NRSC.

Uh, not really. The NRSC was doing what they’re supposed to do, whether you like their decision or not. Who the Democrats run in New York, on the other hand, is none of Obama’s business.

You must be talking about Powell and the rest of the moderate republican beltway insiders. /sarc

Ben Smith at Politico originally reported that he was told that Rahm directly threatened Steve Israel with Obama campaiginging AGAINST HIM IN HARLEM and lack neighborhoods if he ran against Gillibrand, then of course the source ‘called back’ and mumbled it wasnt really a direct threat and didnt really involve Obama using the AA vote against a fellow Dem, cause everyone knows Obama would never play the race card on a fellow dem right?
BWAAAHAAAAAHAAAA!! Gimme a frakkin break, they pushed the thuig tactics and now are SHOCKED they are being used agsinst them..

I know Steve Israel and I’ll bet he told Rahm to stick it up his you-know-where.

Barack “The Mouth” Obama, and Rahm “The Meat Hook” Imanuel.

The party’s white guilt is killing freedom everywhere.

Whites have lead the world in science, economics, art, government, medical, innovation, exploration, music, and culture for thousands of years. I don’t get white guilt bit.

I guess you have to be weak minded. I never had any slaves, but half the time I feel like a slave of the government having to give what I earn to others that don’t diserve it.

If you can’t cut it, it’s not my fault!
