I look forward to him saying “Michelle and I are very happy back in Chicago now”

Three cheers to civility...

This is a war and, so far, we be keeping it civil.

"just as many “Obamaisms,” though they are rarely commensurately lampooned by the media."

If by "rarely" he means "never."

This man goes unceremoniously out with the weekly District of Columbia trash on one lovely November morning a year from now.

Hanson asks where Obama learned his political "skills." Simple... Obama was groomed for politics by the worst of the Chicago dem political machine, and schooled he was. He learned the worst of the bare-knuckled, thug politics from some of the nastiest political operatives around. And this was all after being raised by people who hated Western civilizations and liberty. By communists and anarchists.

This may well be the dirtiest political campaign ever, and that includes the Lincoln election. Obama learned long ago that the best way to be elected is to destroy the political opponent long before the election, so he has never had to run against "first tier" opposition.

FDR unfairly and often demonized his political opponents.

Huey Long did this, too. One eminent senior legislator -- a fellow Democrat, of course, since in those days all Louisiana officeholders were Democrats -- Long routinely abused, since he couldn't find anything worse to say about him, as "old whistle-britches". He had to demean and defame the man because he was an opponent of Long's numerous corrupt, illegal, and unconstitutional schemes.

Eventually, that style of governance caught up with the Kingfish. My aunt always thought Roosevelt was behind it somehow; but history has provided adequate evidence that it was a homegrown affair involving Dr. Weiss's family and their abuse by Long.

[Art.] Don’t “get into a Nancy Reagan thing about, you know, doing any séances.”

Actually, I think this was a sly shot at Hillary -- reminding people that Hillary once talked about having "conversations" with the ghost of Eleanor Roosevelt.

It makes sense that he would dig at her, if I'm right that she's going to bolt the traces and mount an insurrectionary candidacy next year. She has the look of a candidate, and her energy level is up. She sure smells like a candidate to me.

"Supreme Court Justice Thomas: “I would not have nominated Clarence Thomas. I don’t think that he, I don’t think that he was a strong enough jurist or legal thinker at the time for that elevation."

This coming from a half term senator.

Can you imagine being a white citizen of Chicago going into a government office seeking assistance and encountering a congregant of reverend wright who greats you with discriminatory intolerance and little or no assistance with your problem?

Donald Trump: A “carnival barker”

1 out of 20 isn't a particularly good score.
