While on the subject of Dear Leader, it is great to make it through Harvard Law without writing anything.

In fairness to Obama, I think Bill Ayers was busy at the time…so what do you expect?

Next time, try cleaning up Mexico first………..

…….. I hear they have a problem with headless bodies all over the place.

If latinos are so great and wise, how come all latino countries are such political cesspools? I thought people got the government they disserved.

I think Obama is focused on knocking the USA down to the lower standards of the third world, thereby appearing to elevate the status of victim class people across America.

Everyone says ” don’t underestimate the potential of America”. Who do you think are the people that have earned that reputation? The victim classes or the achiever classes? How does shoving the victims classes to the front of the line help this country?

If Obama really wants to elevate the status of the victim classes, he needs to solve the problem, not attack the symptoms. He needs to clean up the victim class cxultures and get them on a”+hard word” and “personal responsibility” track and get them off the “world owes me a living” mentality.

Short of that, re-arranging the seats on the Titanic won’t cut the mustard.

What a disaster for the late, great USA. Look out Haiti, here we come.

That’s right. It’s Bill O’Reilly’s fault that people here say incredibly stupid things. Poor Hot Air commenters – nothing is ever your fault.

Proud Rino on May 27, 2009 at 11:01 PM

Then stop posting incredibly stupid things and pretending its not your fault.

True. However, I think the city was afraid the black firefighters would sue, so they pre-emptively nullified the exam results.

Anyway, it’s definitely not a racial issue or indicative that anyone is “out” to get white men.

AnninCA on May 28, 2009 at 1:45 AM

So, if all the top scorers were not white, and the case was brought by a non-white, her decision would have been the same?

And if you think it would have been, can you tie that thought to her legal reasoning?

I just think that your use of the word “definitely” is haphazard and assuming.

Why, of all the things we know about human nature, is discrimination not a fair question in regards to her ruling?

How do people who aren’t good at paper tests succeed?

That doesn’t mean it’s legitimate.

AnninCA on May 28, 2009 at 1:45 AM

If you talk to firefighters or police officers across the country, you will find that there are written tests for promotion. It’s standard practice. There can be a lot of informational knowledge that is required for a position, as well as experience.

The black firefighters accepted the practice of written exams for promotion. They made no claim that the test was biased; the triral judge even acknowledged the test was unbiased. The blacks just didn’t like the results in a promotion process that they had already accepted was fair and standard for their occupation.

If Bill O’Reilly is reads this:

“F*** You, too”

Got that?

Proud Rino on May 27, 2009 at 11:01 PM

A good little liberal like you should know that “stupid” is relative…get w/ the post-modern program.

Just b/c you don’t agree doesn’t mean its dumb.

How do people who aren’t good at paper tests succeed?

Anyway, it’s definitely not a racial issue or indicative that anyone is “out” to get white men. That argument holds no weight, unless you’re bitter and thinking that’s why you haven’t succeeded in life. There will always be those who blame.

That doesn’t mean it’s legitimate.

AnninCA on May 28, 2009 at 1:45 AM

The firefighter who brought suit is dyslexic. He studied for months via tapes while commuting. He had been on the force for well over ten years. He had one of the top scores that day. With his learning disability, how damn easy do you think that “paper” test was for him?

And you think he shouldn’t have been promoted?

“[Obama] was very struck, when he met with her, about how thoughtful she was as a judge,” says the source. “He believed she had a precise approach to cases that would be effective in winning over Kennedy when possible.”

The problem with the “source” saying this is that it will get back to Kennedy, who will then be less likely to be influenced by her. Nice move, source.

Dear goopers, stop with the “60% of her cases have been overturned by the court”. The average, if you knuckleheads knew how to read, is 75%, got that goopers?

Prove it. Provide a link to an official court site which has the statistics. And can the crap you copy off of your fellow moonbat sites. It’s b.s.

And Alito’s was 100% overturned.

Again, prove it by linking to an official court site that has this statistic and instead of copying and pasting lies from your moonbat blogs.

So take your little under informed talking point and stick it. All the gop is, is talking points, without facts.

It’s you and your fellow moonbats who are under informed. Because you don’t know your a$$ from your head, you have no clue how on it’s face your phony stats are wrong.

My Democratic Party continues to whip your party like a rented mule. And please, make fools of yourself, and go after Sotomayor, please, make my day pilgrims. I welcome it. Show me what you got. She’ll get 70 votes,70!

athensboy on May 28, 2009 at 7:13 AM

Fore crissakes! Read a history book. The donks will be out of the WH in 4 to 8 years.

I welcome it.

athensboy on May 28, 2009 at 7:13 AM

I’m sure you would welcome, after diligently working to meet or exceed the requirements to qualify for the position you sought, getting the big middle finger by a judge, because someone that the judge wants to fill the position didn’t qualify.

Naw. You wouldn’t welcome it.

You only welcome these concepts when it happens to someone else.

Typical, as this personality flaw is a defining trait with Democrats these days, so it doesn’t surprise me in the least.

This isn’t a playoff series. This is the future… a future that MLK tried to teach us, was not justice.

doriangrey on May 28, 2009 at 8:06 AM

And he only gets away with his idiocy because the press refuses to say anything less than sterling about him. It’s not any skill on his part.

doriangrey on May 28, 2009 at 8:06 AM

Don’t worry, dorian. I’m well aware that revenge is his motivation. But he’s still retarded as all get-out.

You people are about nothing but style, as The Precedent proves every day as he makes one retarded mistake after another. If he weren’t working to destroy this nation it would be hysterical to watch.

Have any boxed sets of DVDs for Sotomayor to celebrate her affirmative action appointment?

progressoverpeace on May 28, 2009 at 7:41 AM

Actually Obama is utterly amazing to watch, because in his quest to destroy America he has not made on single mistake. If you foolishly and mistakenly believe that he is only destroying America because of inexperience and naivete you could be excused for thinking that he is making nothing but one mistake after the other. Nothing he is doing is a mistake, it is all central to his plan and he has thus far executed it flawlessly.

Show me what you got. She’ll get 70 votes,70!

athensboy on May 28, 2009 at 7:13 AM

You are 10 years old, right? “Your” Democratic party is whipping the American economic system like a mule.

I’m assuming you’re in section 8 and living off food stamps, so the only new taxes you’ll notice are on Smokes and lime-flavored vodka. People who actually have jobs are going to vote ‘your’ Democratic party out of office for 25 years if ‘your’ Democratic party keeps screwing up.

Not even the MSM will be able to save you once 10 percent inflation hits. The Republicans are a worthless pack of do nothings, but ‘your’ Democratic party will be radioactive, and people will vote for anything else.

We are going to exit The One’s first term with 2 less American auto manufacturers and a lot less banks. We’ll be left with high inflation and continuing high unemployment. We’ll probably have an internet tax and possibly a national VAT. Some portion of health care will be nationalized and the deficit will be up to 1.5 trillion or possibly 2 trillion dollars. American will lose it’s AAA bond rating.

But you ‘won’. Grats….everyone else in the world suffers for it.

The average, if you knuckleheads knew how to read, is 75%, got that goopers? And Alito’s was 100% overturned

What is your source for this claim, athensboy? Link(s) please?

She’ll get 70 votes,70!

athensboy on May 28, 2009 at 7:13 AM

So what? She’s still there for no reason other than her gender and her being a Latina – which is good, because I hear they make better decisions than white guys. You should be very proud.

You people are about nothing but style, as The Precedent proves every day as he makes one retarded mistake after another. If he weren’t working to destroy this nation it would be hysterical to watch.

Don’t federal judges specifically take an oath to avoid sympathies and prejudices?

“I, __________, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me as (name of position) under the Constitution and laws of the United States. So help me God.”

Yes, she will be confirmed unless there is some revolt on the left. And why would that happen? If Rush does not like her, then they will..simple as that.
