At his town hall meeting in Costa Mesa, Calif., Wednesday evening, President Obama compared embattled insurer AIG and other large failing banks to a suicide bomber. ''A lot of people say, 'Well, why not just let the banks fail?''' (Snip) ''Here's the problem,'' Mr. Obama said, ''It's almost like they've got -- they've got a bomb strapped to them and they've got their hand on the trigger. You don't want them to blow up.

If they’re suicide bombers, the current white house is Tora Bora.

Wow. Now that’s a brilliant statement right there. And they accused Bush of being stupid and of being a fear-monger.

Keep whipping up that mob, Barack.

Oh my gosh...

Doesn't he have that built in filter that most successful people have, that does not have us talking like Joe Pesce in a Mob Movie?

Again I say in the words of Ronaldus Maximus:

"Who is minding the store?".....

This nightmare gets worse ans worse every day......

Considering how many terrorist groups endorsed him, you probably spoke truer than you meant to.

If there is anyone more incompetent, more ignorant and more uninformed than President Obama I would be hard pressed to come up with a name. He is a disaster and a disgrace to this Nation and to the Office of President of the United States of America. How did such incompetence ever get elected to the highest office in our Nation?
