At this rate, why this piecemeal stuff? It’s clear he’s going to do what he wants anyway - just release all terrorist prisoners, skip the trials, lose the election, and be impeached and prosecuted for the treasonous crimes against this country he has blatantly committed. He’s turned young against old, black against white, Main St. against Wall St., illegals against citizens, christians against Muslims. He’s ruining this nation for everyone, conservatives, independents and even liberals - he has become the enemy, and an effective one.

I note that you didn't say muslims against Christians...

*shakes heads*

I’m reminded of that scene from The Hunt for Red October when Fred Thompson’s character talks about this business getting out of hand.

I say this all the time - but, Clinton wouldn't have been reelected, and wouldn't have been as popular as he was at the end if it were not for two people - Bill Gates and Andy Grove.

I agree. But, I think it's a different set of two people: Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols.

Clinton was on his way to being a one-term President before the Oklahoma City terrorist attack. Never being one to let a crisis go to waste, he used the event to demonize his political opposition, even though there was no evidence to support that association.

At the time, I wondered if it was going to be another Reichstag fire.

“I note that you didn’t say Muslims against Christians.”

And now I note that you’ve noted that. If the tone of my post wasn’t clear, I mean’t Muslims against Christians, race against race, religions against religions, people against people, across the board. I mean’t it all.

Does ANYONE doubt that we have a traitorous administration.

Releasing terrorist, illegals, and getting in bed with the Taliban. Notice all of the above are hellbent on destroying Americans.

"But, I think it's a different set of two people: Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols."

I wouldn't say they were unimportant. They certainly allowed Clinton to change the narrative from the "Contract with America". But, people vote with their wallets, generally speaking, and McVeigh and Nichols didn't impact the economy in any way. Gates and Grove did.

When Bill Clinton was elected, unemployment was at 7.4%. When Clinton was reelected unemployment was at 5.6%, almost two full points lower, and the economy was growing at a record pace. Clinton could have been filmed molesting young boys in October of '96, and he still would have been reelected because people were employed, and they had great confidence they were going to remain employed.

Clinton survived Impeachment because on the day of Impeachment, unemployment stood at 4.40%. Clinton became more popular after Impeachment because just 12-months later, unemployment was at 3.9% - which I believe is an just 30 or so basis points from the all-time record low

Carville was and is right - It's the economy stupid - a lesson that is lost on Obama, which will be his undoing.

"Some have speculated Obama wants a Republican Congress elected in 2010 so he has something to run against in 2012. If that truly is his strategy, he and his advisors are even more delusional and idiotic than I suspected."

Let's hope if the Republicans regain control of Congress this year, they don't squander it like they've done in the past. If they don't hold a Conservative line, and hold firm against Obama and his minions, they will be gone. Based on their past performances when they've been in power, I'm a bit skeptical. I'm hopeful they will do the right thing, but still wary that they won't turn into weak-kneed wusses.

It’s them teabaggers. It’s them teabaggers and them bitter people clinging to their guns and religion. They’re the ones that are calling our dear leader a moose limb.

A key line further into the article ...

"It's politics at this point," said one military official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss policy. He said he thinks the administration does not want to proceed against a high-value detainee without some prospect of civilian trials for other major figures at Guantanamo Bay.
