Senator Byrd: Obama in power grab

Does anyone believe had KKK Byrd been a Republican the author would have wasted no time in pointing out the Senators past recruiting efforts for the Klu Klux Klan and how the Senator must still have racist feeling toward Blacks.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

He woke up to write a letter.

[ArrogantBustard]

Byrdie and Dumb-as-Rocksefeller both voted FOR Porkulus.

[Free Vulcan]

I knew some of the stuff Obama was preaching wouldn’t go well with Congress. What the speech amounted to last nite was an executive power grab.

[PLD]

Do you mean should they have shown something like this...

[RegulatorCountry]

Odd that the longtime king of pork doesn’t appear to be bringing home the bacon, then.

[far sider]

Poor Sen. Byrd. I think he would have a much easier time with this if he could figure out if Obama is a black ni- - - - or a white ni- - - -.

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

This is not unexpected. Who’s really running things now - is it 0 or Reid/Pelosi? Everyone has *assumed* that it’s 0 - but I’m not so sure. When J F’in Kerry went to Syria and Gaza, was he carrying 0’s water or Reid’s? Not so sure.

To most people 0 is calling the shots, but to Reid/Pelosi they just got rid of Bush’s veto pen and now they can take up the reins unopposed.

I think we’ll see more of this.

[submarinerswife]

I hope he’s prepared for that KKK thing to blow up in his face now. He’s disagreed with a black man.

Grab some popcorn and come sit next to me.

[Richard Kimball]

All you care about is money. This town deserves a better class of criminal. And I'm going to give it to them.

[fungoking]

Now the MSM will remember Byrd was in the Klan.

[Right Wing Assault]

such positions “can threaten the Constitutional system of checks and balances. At the worst, White House staff have taken direction and control of programmatic areas that are the statutory responsibility of Senate-confirmed officials.”

Very good, Senator! That is exactly the Obama plan. Good to see you're starting to catch on! So now, watcha gonna do about it, eh?

[MIchaelTArchangel]

Did the Grand Kleegal suit up before making his remarks?

[mojitojoe]

I’m going to disagree with most of you. Byrd is right and we all know what is going on. I think we should be very thankful that he said this. Regardless of what we think of him, or if we like him or not, we have got to have some people that count speaking out or the power grab will be complete and you can bow to your new dictator that will run every aspect of your life.

[Patriotic1]

Never ever in my life would I have thought this man would do something I admire.

Let’s see if it gets any media attention.

[dr_who]

Sheets? He’s just angry because Obamba’s taking power away from his particular hill in the Senate. Doubt he has a problem with all of the other incursions.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Hey! Byrd! Ask The Dear Leader to produce his birth certificate!

[Vaduz]

Obama’s decision to create White House offices on health reform looks like Hillary won after all her healthcare plan gets the wink from obama and company.

[evets]

Black power!

[dfwgator]

You'd almost expect them to break out singing "Ebony and Ivory."
