The White House is asking networks to break into soaps for the president later today. Stay tuned.

You should listened to Rush on what caused this shift.
That's funny. Everybody from Rush to the MSM sees a political speech. Let's see what Savage thinks later.
I'm sorely electronically challenged so I admire you for being about to *tape* something! lol
You should listened to Rush on what caused this shift.
It is something he has discussed himself. Politics is a game of managed expectations. When you set the bar high (John Kerry is a master at this idiocy) and promise to do everything from winning the war in a day to curing Superman, you set the bar so high you are going to fail. Everyone gets mad at you and you loose.
However, if you are quiet and allow the poll numbers to drop, mispronounce nuclear so people think you're an illiterate boob...the expectations are that you are completely incompetent. That allows you to leave people pleasantly surprised and thrilled with your accomplishments.
It basically comes down to a game of never promise too much. Promise little and deliver more. And the President is an absolute genius at this. Breathtakingly good. It is actually a strategy that I have started to use professionally with terrific results.
The wheat just got separated from the chaff.
No UBL is NOT DEAD. Ask the boots on the ground on the hunt 24/7 for him. They've found lots of evidence, he's alive and very healthy.
Savage is insane.
And yeah, I really think you did miss out on that, and a whole lot more.
Hate to disagree with you there Senator, but that is NOT what OBL said.
Senator Sessions is one of only three that I would trust with this! Love that guy!
By framing the request for legislation as he has done he has put the left squarely in the spotlight. They will either give him what he wants which strengthens our hand immeasurably in dealing with the savages, in which case America wins. Or, they will refuse to give him what he wants and by doing so re enforce the belief they fear more for the rights of terrorists then they do the safety of our citizens. Let me be more graphic in the hopes you may understand what the president has done. He has put the Democrats in the middle of a lake filled with gasoline and has tossed them a ball of fire. They can either catch the ball (pass the legislation) and get burned by it from the moonbat left, or they can drop it into the lake of gasoline(block the legislation) where the resulting explosion of negative public opinion will blow them to smithereens.
Karl Rove has bent the libs over and shafted them with the same pole with which they fly their anti American, pro terrorist flag.
The usual ... waaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!! Mememememememeeeeeee!!!!! Waaaaahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!
I know...
Will pass along thanks. Thanks for the support.
Thanks!
Too bad he wasnt one of them being transferred.
What a great speech by The President.
If I was wearing a military uniform I would be very grateful
he is making their rules of engagement more clear too.
War was declared on us by the terrorists .. But the Congress never "officially" declared war .. the Dems did not want to give the President the full powers
Before the entry into Iraq I suggested a Declaration of War should be forthcoming. That would have eliminated most of the political problems now. Not that it matters now, but for future reference they really ought to consider a Declaration of War any time they go to war just in case the war goes on long enough to affect an election cycle.
Yes, I agree. Snow has been terrific. And the elite know it. My guess is so do Rove and the President.
