We always knew Barry’s constituency was the young and the clueless. The only question was did they outnumber us normal people. I guess the scary answer is they do.

I catch the news on the MSM when I am over at my mother's house and watching the local news, also the news blurbs on the half hour on the radio. To me, they all sound as if they came out of some POOO: Propaganda Office Of Obama. That is what most people hear. Obama’s plan will do this, and this, and this.... It all sounds wonderful, but no one asks any tough questions.

“Reminds me of the 70s when I used to listen to Pravda on shortwave.”

Hell, the New York Times IS Pravda!

Do I really need to see the PDF?

From that proven purveyor of popular fiction, the NYT? No.

Gotta remember - can’t have confidence without a CON! I wonder - when he can’t con folks anymore, will he be an ex-con?

How does this square with the Rick Santelli response?

There is apparently plenty of kool-aide left. We are going to have to learn to just ignore this crap until he can be impeached maybe in 2011 after GOP takes back the House. Just like the libtards said about GWB "hell there are hundreds of crimes he has committed."

Chowder or bisque?

My social and work circle is 80% apoplectic about 0, so I have support.

Thank God.

The Chicago media is really laughable. The local ABC news reader gave a report the other night on the falling stock market and said things were going just as O had said they would. Not like it was a negative, but like he was some genius who predicted this. And NO mention of it having anything to do with his leadership!

The desire to preserve infanticide has a lot to do with those statistics.
