I was eating lunch today with my 10 year old grandson when his mom asked him
"What is tomorrow?" He said "It's President's Day"
She asked "What does that mean?" .... I was waiting for something profound....
He said "President's Day is when Obama steps out of the White House and if he sees his shadow,
we have 2 more years of unemployment and stupidity."
I almost snorted my iced tea.
Ah yes... you have to brain wash the brats young, don't you?
I guess he's too young to understand that this problem wasn't caused by the president... it was caused by 30 years of Republican trickle-down bullshit and corporations going unregulated for almost as long.
But I guess his mom should remember. guess she's also got the intellect of a 10 year old.

pffff :roll: Go back to watching Olbermann in your little box.
Nope, I'm too scared of the black guy that is taking away all my freedoms.
Yes, because those who disapprove of Obama's policies are obviously racist.
It actually wasn't well played at all; it was ignorant and typical.
Hahaha....it's pretty funny because I would agree with you regarding the fact that too many people throw out the racist card with Obama. I was just messing with ya.
Just seems like you may be a bit over the top. Not much country left? How so?[/quote]
You don't think people react more strongly when a black guy does something compared to a white guy doing the same thing?
It seems that both Obama and the visible Republican possibilities are all far too polarizing to catch those swing voters necessary to be elected. Who knows? Maybe this next election will be the one in which a third party finally gets a crack at the presidency? Libertarian, anyone? A guy can dream, can't he?
Yes, because that's where Libertarian's exists, in dreams.
Michele Bachmann for president.......and the world will be a better place.
mostly because with that bat shit crazy fruitcake at the wheel, America will be a big, empty pit in the ground where people used to live and the world can go about it's business.
Michele Bachmann for president.......and the world will be a better place.
Seriously?
I would accept someone saying Romney, maybe even Huckabee would be better leaders than Obama. Might not agree with it, but I could see the argument.
But Bachmann? Explain how.
Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V
Michele Bachmann for president.......and the world will be a better place.
Agreed, if not her then Palin. I'd even settle for Gingrich, Romney, Pawlenty, Jindal, Paul, or even a third Bushie. ABO - anybody but Obama.
This is the most fucked up shit I have ever read.
Michelle Bachmann is pure evil and stupidity combined. I'd take George Bush over her.
bachmann can't even get her revolutionary history correct. one would think that someone who invokes the revolutionary war and creating the greatest country to ever exist would know that the first casualties of that war were in Mass....i mean if you are going to speak of history, at least get it right...
this woman is scary stupid....she makes palin look like Hawking...
95% of the things that Michelle Bachman says she just makes up on the spot. She claims to be a constitutional expert but every time she speaks on it it's clear she know about as much as I do about conversational Swahili. Every time she speaks about American history she gets her facts so wrong it's almost frightening.
The idea of her running the country is about as appealing as Snookie on the supreme court.
I sure as hell hope so and here's a man that could do it. Herman Cain.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/03/0 ... 32047.html
DES MOINES, Iowa — Most Americans haven't heard of Herman Cain, the former head of a chain of pizza restaurants who is considering seeking the Republican presidential nomination.
But in Iowa, home to the nation's first presidential caucuses, Cain has caught the attention of conservative activists influenced by the tea party movement who aren't bothered by candidates who have succeeded in business but have never held a public office.
"He's creating quite a buzz," said former Iowa Republican Party Chairman Richard Schwarm. "He is someone Iowa caucus-goers are going to take very seriously."
Cain, 65, from suburban Atlanta, has visited Iowa several times recently and will return to Des Moines on Monday for a conservative forum. Cain likely will express views similar to other speakers, including former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, but he'll offer a vastly different resume.
Apart from a failed 2004 run for the U.S. Senate in Georgia, Cain hasn't sought election to public office. Instead, he held a series of high-profile business positions that culminated with part ownership of the Godfather's Pizza restaurants. He left the company in 1996 and among other positions has worked as host of a radio program in Atlanta, where he espoused his views against abortion and in support of a strong national defense, a smaller government and a return to the gold standard.
In January, he announced the formation of an exploratory committee to consider seeking the GOP presidential nomination. "I couldn't sit back and watch this country continue to go down the wrong track," Cain said in a telephone interview. "What we have lacked is leadership."
His message is finding an audience, especially among tea party activists. Last month he was invited to speak at a Tea Party Patriot gathering in Phoenix, where he won a presidential straw poll. "He's very, very engaging," said Jenny Beth Martin, national coordinator of the organization.
Steve Scheffler, a member of the Republican National Committee and leading social conservative in Iowa, said Cain was "beginning to garner some interest" in the state. Last fall Cain campaigned for two state legislators aligned with the tea party who defeated incumbent Democrats.
Republican strategist Rich Galen, who worked on former Sen. Fred Thompson bid for the 2008 GOP presidential nomination, said some conservative supporters are noting that it didn't take long for Barack Obama to rise from community activist to U.S. senator to president. Like Obama, Cain is black, putting him in a small category of African-American conservatives.

Schwarm said even little-known candidates can compete in Iowa against those with better national name recognition. In 2000, Steve Forbes finished a strong second in the caucuses behind George W. Bush but far ahead of John McCain.
"He is a long shot, but so is almost everyone else right now," Schwarm said. "The variable is how active will the tea party people be."
Cain said his business success has left him wealthy, but not at a level where he could self-finance a campaign. Cain said he's eager to travel through Iowa and other early-nominating states, meeting one-on-one with voters.
"Leadership is the ability to take a good idea and sell it," said Cain. "When the public understands it, they will demand it. You've got to be able to sell the idea.

I just think the goals of business are so different than public office that success in one doesn't mean success in the other and vice/versa.

wahoooo ! Bush ? dang Gimmi now I'm just all confused.

its all so confusing isn't it lol...
here is another article on bachmann, more mainstream source i think...
good god it sounds as if she is going to run.....things just got a whole lot funnier on the left side of things lol...

close she'll be a dirt bag like most of the rest of them.
You don't think people react more strongly when a black guy does something compared to a white guy doing the same thing?
A few people have lost their shit about him picking a March Madness bracket... did anyone go this crazy when Bush talked about baseball and who he thought would win the World Series?
I'm not sure how much of it is racial (and I firmly believe that some of it is) and how much of it is the far-right being so determined to win back the White House that they'll criticize him for anything and everything they can (and I firmly believe some of it's due to that too).
And I listen for the voice inside my head... nothing. I'll do this one myself.

Very very difficult to unseat an incumbent president.
I just don't see anyone one the Republican side that can do it. There is no face to the Republican party. No one figure they can all get behind like Bush or Reagan.
Palin is too polarizing.
Gingrich doesn't have the numbers.
Romney may be the best bet, but I don't see that happening. Is Mitt Romney going to fire up the Republican base and win over the independent vote?
Huckabee is a very conservative evangelical Christian who isn't going to win too much support beyond his base. He basically disappeared in the 2008 race for the nomination after winning Iowa.
I am not educated in this, just making guesses, but I don't see a clear front runner here.

The names being bandied about make the party look like a circus sideshow. If they want to seriously challenge Obama they'll have to do it with somebody not named Palin/Bachmann etc.
It would be interesting to see their response to Romney though - after inventing controversy with the whole "Obama isn't a Christian" rubbish, how will their base deal with someone who actually IS a non-Christian?

Uh last time I checked Romney is a Mormon, which is definitely a form of Christianity.
