And speaks stupidly while greenlighting the avarice of doctors who need to pull tonsils to pay for their vacation and fancy cars.

And it often ends with the “divided” slicing up the would-be conquerors once they are finished with each other.

I can't recall a White House that openly and flippantly said whatever derogatory remark that comes into their head.

Correct! I doubt there's ever been another, I know there hasn't in my lifetime.

"The desire of many Americans for a "post-racial" society is well-founded, though the belief that Barack Obama would move in that direction was extremely ill-advised, given the history of his actions and associations."

Sowell's point is so right.

Americans voted with their eyes and minds closed.

What if GWB had hit Iran after he knew Zero might win?

Zero would have pulled you out, and that would be worse.

Maybe GWB didn't think Zero would win. I know I didn't believe it could happen until the morning of the 5th.

He is smart, sees clearly down the road, and is a good person.

Somehow it is harder for good guys to be picked for top jobs, especially the TOP job. Crazy, isn't it?
Reagan, Truman, Bush, are exceptions.

Obama fits right in with the Johnson, Kennedy, Clinton, Carter,...

I would rather have a mad as hell Iran than have a nuclear armed Iran.
Two things are going to happen: Iran will hold these weapons over every country within missile reach and they then have the ability to place a nuke on a ship and sail it in international waters just off say N.Y. and set the damn thing off.

“The Kenyan Imposter”

That's a title as good as 'The Manchurian Candidate'. Maybe better.

I wonder if Michael Moore will be making a movie with that title...probably not.

Why couldn’t he have run for the presidency and Walther Williams for VP? I would have voted for them over any pair of crackers, and I am one myself.

I would have voted for that ticket with great pleasure, and I’m a typical white woman.

Thanks Jaz, and the more I looked at it, the more I realized that the image should clearly depict something that we all well know. Dr. Sowell is head and shoulders above Obama.

I suspect Dr Sowell is a man who, in the words of Harry Callahan, knows his limitations. It takes a certain level of excessive self-esteem, arrogance and narcissism, to aspire to be President. This is why George Bush had problems and likely why Fred Thompson ultimately dropped out of the race.

GB was a reluctant candidate and could never appreciate the level of visceral, psychopathic hatred the Democrats have for anything Republican or conservative. He refused to stand up to their taunts and lies and call them on it. Fred is a intellectual good old boy who is above their petty games. Same with Dr. Sowell. It is not something to which he aspires. None the less, he has my vote.

Of continuing interest is the continuing interest in small arms and ammunition purchases. The MSM has not made any connections but there most certainly is a parallel relationship to the result of the November elections and the near instantaneous and continuous upsurge in sales. Whether action is possible or probable is anyone's guess and will only be determined when action occurs. I have to believe too, out military kids [yes, there now kids to me] would never turn their weapons on their parents.

While the mainstream media in America will never call him on this, these repeated demonstrations of his amateurism and immaturity will not go unnoticed by this country's enemies around the world.

Bingo.
