Why is it that politicians have the same look as televangelists? And most of them are so goofy looking that they fit easily as characters in mad magazine, only they don't need the Alfred E. Newman makeover.

Remember, ACORN with $billions of taxpayers’ dollars will be in charge of elections next year and their manipulations will be protected by the Department of Justice.

I do know about ACORN and all of the fraud that put the Messiah into office.
His bad policy is happening at lightening speed, plus the Pelosi factor and all of the rotten to the core Dems. are not helping.
Believe me- I know it is an overly optimistic thought- But if he has done this poorly this fast- who knows how bad he will mess things up in the next year- think about that- anything is possible with this empty suit, marxist.
I guess what I am saying, is that maybe we should not underestimate the power of Americans- I KNOW that is hard thought, especially after the last elections- But don’t rule us out yet.
I also battled cancer just before my husband did, we were under 40 with small kids- Believe me- it ain’t over til it’s over. This administration feels like cancer of the America that I know. I will not be owned or ruled by Obama without a fight and a belief in the good people like the ones I find here on Free Republic.But......it ain’t gonna be easy.
Sometimes we all gotta be a little optimistic.

The first time I saw a tractor pull I did not really understand how there could be a contest. Those big powerful tractors showed they were able to pull the sled, yet they all soon came to a halt. It was only after watching what was happening on the sled that I understood. As the tractor pulled the sled, the weights were moved forward pushing down, causing more resistance.

I see Obama as a powerful tractor, and the opposition to his policies as the weights. He got off to a good start but in time the weight (opposition) will over come that advantage.

Not all Democrats are socialist. There are some moderate Democrats. As oppositions build, and as we begin to move into the 2010 off year elections some Democrats may decide it is in their interest not to blindly follow the President.

I can not foresee the future, but I suspect the President only has a few months to CHANGE this nation, after that he will become a lame duck.

” Probably referring to the completely legal and legitimate firing of three US prosecutors. “

At least the Dems are being consistent. They were enraged when the Bush administration decided not to renew the appointments of several attorneys who were not prosecuting Democrat corruption aggressively enough, and now they are firing an inspector for inspecting corruption among Democrats. Legalities, schmegalities. What’s important is Loyalty to the Tribe.

Welcome to the Coverup Culture, and the media co-conspirators that are making it all possible.

Bush’s firing of the 3 attorneys really bugged me. Clinton cleaned house when he came in and no one raised a peep. Bush fires 3 and the whole media world came unglued. Then, Bush backed down. If I had been Bush when the media went nuts, then I would have fired all the rest of them.

You would not have expected Zero to put his name on this firing. Either he feels he can cover his ass by pouring trash on Walpin or he's betting the Dims will cover it.
Too big a paper trail here for Zero to just brush off something is missing.

He was categorized by those he was auditing as disorientated. Probably true, he was not orientated to giving money to crooks.

BTW during his TV interviews he seemed focused and an affable personality.

I agree. I only posted that link because the original poster said they didn't know how to make it a link.

I think there were 8 or 9 attorneys which Bush fired—maybe 2 or 3 were questionable. (In the other cases there seem to have been valid complaints about the individuals, but 2 or 3 may have been in response to complaints from Republican politicians, including one from Sen. Domenici of New Mexico). None of the firings were done to stop an investigation in progress or to protect a political crony. In Clinton’s case, it appears that the mass firing was done to hide the real purpose—to get rid of someone who was investigating one of Clinton’s crimes.

AmeriCorps was created by Clinton. Wasn't the purpose all along that the participants would do things to advance liberal causes and help Democratic politicians?

Walpin is like Louie in "Casablanca" when he discovers that gambling is going on in Rick's Cafe.
