There’s an article in the NY Post that I posted on another thread...word is Barry wants Andy because he’s afraid to face Rudy in 2012.

Yes, I saw that. And put it together with the Hillary speculation and you have a plausible explanation. Of course, I’ve really no idea.

And what major entitlement hasn’t proven to be trillions off anyway?

If you use Black's Law...it says a tax is to support the government....That would be the primary tax as stipulated by the Constitution.

IMHO, George's face said: "This guy is frigg'n unbelievable."

....like everyone up until him has been some stupid dope, but he has he Harvard degree, so we are all saved now.

I know several Ivy League graduates and every one of them has this sort of "holier than thou" attitude. They must teach it at Ivy League schools or maybe it's absorbed from the culture that exists there......

On the other hand, I’m not sure why Hillary should be worried about Obama’s disrespecting her—while she’s busy embarrassing herself:

Serious question: Can anyone tell me if George still lists the names of soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan on his Sunday show?

I stopped watching when The Big Zero was elected because I knew I couldn’t stand to see Georgie drool, so I’ve been wondering if Georgie discontinued the practice of listing the names now that the war is OK, since Bush is out and Dear Leader is in.

Thanks.

—but I’m not sure what.

My theory: Her Thyness is miserable. Obamalamadingdong has dispatched her to just about every two-bit, tin horn nowhere that exists, and with rare exception, she's been completely out of the spot light. Meanwhile, Bill soaks up glory by going to NK to meet with the Gargoyle and bring home two gorons. Steffie knows he is probably still within ashtray range.....and he knows a sinking ship when he sees one. To call Steffie an opportunist would be a gross understatement.....

“I am also thinking the Washington Post is firing some shots across his bow. They may be worried”

I’ll wager it’s the press letting Dear Leader know that they can play the game too and if he wants their continued undying admiration and adoration then he’d better cough up some bailout money for them. He’ll throw some $$$$$ their way and all will be fine...

It’s all a game for them because they are part of the ‘elite’ ruling class and know they will be taken care of handsomely, no matter what happens to the leetle peeeple

The clintonistas are alive and well.

Is this the same George Stephanopoulos who called taxes “contributions” when he worked for Clinton and company?

That’s what has happened with the word ‘marriage’. It’s being redefined to mean a union between two (or more) entities (not necessarily people).

Oh, that’s right. But whatever for? To tighten his NY state cred before going public with news of his Cuomo assist?

Is he more afraid of giving bad news to Hillary directly? Is Bill Hill’s agent, negotiating with her boss?

Stephie didn’t like being lied to repeatedly, so he offered the dictionary definition which he had written down in anticipation of Barry Soetoro lying to him repeatedly ... democrat politics are convoluted don’tchaknow, ‘cause it’s nothing but a game to lie all the time and Stephie is used to it from being in the sinkEmperor’s White HO use.

I wonder if the Obama team had even actually given his friendly hosts word that that was part of his talking points.

I think that's a different dynamic, actually.

Arguing with the dictionary about the definition of taxes is an issue of direct deception -- Obama trying to put something over on us. It's a standard-issue flim-flam tactic.

When it comes to the definition of marriage, however, I think the matter is driven by different, cultural considerations. There are a lot of things going on there -- not least of which is that I believe many homosexuals are actually sincere in their desire to "be married." But at root I think the current vagueness about marriage is an outgrowth of the widespread belief that "being mean" is the worst of sins, and denying "marriage" to some is "mean."

that is an excellent point.

I bet Obama’s team even gave the hosts the QUESTIONS they were to ask.

(see NBC’s dick gregory harping about racism)
