I was hoping you would create this thread! It’ll be historically significant as the long days go by.—we don’t want to forget anything this clown does.

Please add me to your ping list!

[Califreak]

May I please be added?

Thank you.

I’ve got to add this link

I think his naive remarks in his speech at the Prayer Breakfast need to be included:

“No matter what we choose to believe, let us remember that there is no religion whose central tenet is hate,” he said.

“There is no God who condones taking the life of an innocent human being. This much we know.”

I don’t think either of these two statements are true of Islam, especially radical Islam.

From that link:

"...Obama has picked a man called David Ogden to be deputy Attorney-General. Ogden has made his legal career from representing pornographers, trying to defeat child protection legislation and undermining family values. As FoxNews reported this week, he once represented a group of library directors arguing against the Children's Internet Protection Act, which ordered libraries and schools receiving funding for the Internet to restrict access to obscene sites. And on behalf of several media groups, he successfully argued against a child pornography law that required publishers to verify and document the age of their models, which would have ensured these models were at least 18..."

Great list—please add me to the ping list!

Thanks!

I think his naive remarks in his speech at the Prayer Breakfast need to be included:

I have gone back and forth on this one. While it is indeed naive, and almost certainly indicative of his world view, it is not at the same level as tax evasion, subversion of elections, and the destruction of our political system. You are not the only one to think it should be on there though.

[LiteKeeper]

Go for it!

[LiteKeeper]

Include me, too, please!

[Freedom2specul8]

FyI!

[jwparkerjr]

Not that big a deal. I just thought it showed how little he understands the danger we face. Making nice with your avowed enemies is a sign of weakness.

Thanks!

[Hyzenthlay]

To be honest, I think not attending an inaugural ball isn’t that big of a deal, especially when compared to things like the defense budget and foreign relations - heck, I even enjoy getting all dressed up for formal events, but I still think going to that many in one day is just too much to expect from any human being. At that rate, you may as well add things like picking out a stupid name for the First Puppy (if/when he does) or letting Michelle go out in public looking like she got the furniture and womens’ fashion departments of Macy’s mixed up to this list...

[Nachum]

I can’t argue with your logic. The Medal of Honor Ignaurual Ball isn’t on the level of tax evasion. At first I wasn’t going to add it, however a LOT of people have privately emailed me how pissed they are about this. You could also make a case about the first interview with Al Arabia, or the first phone call to Abbas not being that important either.

Could you add me to your ping list?
