I have never seen anyone use as many words to say “I can’t handle the job” as 0bama did in his State of Delusion speech.
WooHoo!
Somehow I missed this yesterday....Wanted to make sure you saw it......Well done job by Mama Bear! She’s organized concise, and right on target!
A-m-e-n. And we will not forget that he locked out Republicans from all negotiations.....mocking them.......saying they did not know how to behave. (This from a man who stupidly bowed to a Japanese emperor).
Now Ohaha wants Repubs to save his losing presidency.
Ain't gonna happen.
Thwack!
Thanks for the ping.
“He talked like a Washington “outsider,” but he runs Washington! He’s had everything any president could ask for – an overwhelming majority in Congress and a fawning press corps that feels tingles every time he speaks.”
Right on, Sarah!

Justice Alito’s ‘You lie’ moment?
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2439001/posts
Impy brought up Kelo regarding this. That got me ‘stinking’ about BO: what did he ever say about Kelo? Many of us had asked this numerous times. I tried this google:
Kelo “New London” 2005 “eminent domain” critical “Obama said” -2010
— 107 hits in google. Best I could tell, the result was zip.
Even if Zero muttered anything about Kelo, he clearly failed to put a pittance of energy into an UNDISPUTABLE miscarraige of justice, while his controversial attacks on free speech are fire and brimstone.
Also, Obama refers to us as “bitter clingers” because we cling to guns and religion. That is contempt for our constitutional rights — freedom of religion and the right to bear arms. Such a tyrannical mind should only be respected in REVERSE. If he criticizes the court, then they must have done something right.
Vague Memory Alert — When Obama was asked who his least favorite justices were, if I remember correctly, the only justices he disliked were the ones who opposed Kelo. I believe the same would be true regarding gun rights.
So what is Zero’s new and improved judicial choice?

SONIA SOTOMAYOR
[[Page S8898]]
She embraced the idea that the law is indefinite, impermanent, and
experimental. She rejected what she called ``the public myth that law
can be certain and stable.’’ She said that judges may, in their
decisions, develop novel approaches and legal frameworks that push the
law in new directions.
Judge Sotomayor’s speeches and articles, then, present something of a
perfect judicial storm in which her views of judging meet her views of
the law. Combine partiality and subjectivity in judging with
uncertainty and instability in the law, and the result is an activist
judicial philosophy that I cannot support and that the American people
reject. ...
In Kelo v. City of New London, the Supreme Court held that general
economic development can constitute the public use that the fifth
amendment says justifies the taking of private property.
We hear a lot these days that judges should appreciate how their
decisions should affect people. When the Court in Kelo greatly expanded
the government’s power to take private property, the San Francisco
Chronicle no less said that the decision might turn the American dream
of home ownership on its head. And one Washington Post headline after
the decision read: ``Court Ruling Leaves Poor at Greatest Risk.’’ This
decision was devastating not only for the right to private property in
general but for individual homeowners in particular.
The decision in Kelo was issued after the briefing and argument in
Didden but before Judge Sotomayor had issued her decision. Even though
Kelo was a hallmark—or should I say landmark—decision that
dramatically changed the law of takings, she did not ask for a
rebriefing or a reargument. Instead, it took her more than a year to
issue a cursory, four-paragraph opinion that not only made it easier
for the government to take property but also severely limited the
ability of property owners to challenge the taking of their property in
court.
Other Senators and I have already discussed Judge Sotomayor’s
troubling decisions regarding the second amendment right to keep and
bear arms. She has applied the wrong legal standard to conclude that
the second amendment does not keep State and local government from
restricting the right to bear arms, and she has gratuitously held that
the right to bear arms is so insignificant that virtually any reason is
sufficient to justify a weapons restriction. No Federal judge in
America has expressed a more narrow, cramped, and limited view of the
right to bear arms.

Thanks for pointing that out. Actually I’ve been to Alaska 32 years ago and saw both moose & Caribou and 3 grizzlies. Camped a Wonder Lake near McKinley.
So I don’t recall caribou being that large. Did scan the pic too quickly though. And the face & antlers aren’t that of a moose.
sorry, I only meant my comment to be light-hearted..... I hope you didn’t feel like I was hassling you about it.... this is not a site for wildlife biology
Yes indeed, your diplomacy was self-apparent. Thanks.
He's had everything any president could ask for -- an overwhelming majority in Congress and a fawning press corps that feels tingles every time he speaks. There was nothing preventing him from pursuing "common sense" solutions all along. He didn't pursue them because they weren't his priorities, and he spent his speech blaming Republicans for the problems caused by his own policies.Thanks TruthHound.
Listening to some on FOXNEWS on my way home from work, saying how they thought it was a decent speech. I darn near drove off the road.
It's good to see this assessment.
