“Change you can be duped into believing in.”

Yes, indeed. Madoff’s $50B Ponzi scheme pales in comparison to the con perpetrated by Obama on the American people, with the help of the MSM.

Actually there will be “change” — all to the worse.

What is so maddening is the American public wants this culture of corruption as long as it gets them what they want. We are seeing the ends justify the means culture rearing its dirty bottom. Soon the teeth will come out and bite them.

No problem — the Dems will just blame everything on Bush and the gullible sheeple will continue to worship Obama.

Gotta find a place for all the Clinton people in the administration, even if its a round hole in a square peg.

The Democrats are responsible for anything that goes wrong now. The fun and games of the Bush era are coming to a close. They are going to have to govern.

I think Obama could be in for a tough year.

What is that weapon she is holding. It’s not a PPSh. Is it an AK variant with a drum magazine?

“Among Brennan's critics were 200 psychologists who signed a mass letter to Obama, saying Brennan's appointment to a senior intelligence position would “alienate those who opposed torture under the Bush administration.” The psychologists cited Brennan's service as a senior CIA official under former agency Director George Tenet, who approved coercive interrogation methods, plus interviews Brennan gave in which he appeared to stop short of explicitly rejecting those methods.”

Obama can't even stand up to 200 lousy “psychologists”.

What a terrible choice.

Apparently even DiFi and Rockefeller were not consulted and may have problems with this pure political appointment.

“Something tells me he has no intention of going peaceably when his term runs out.”

one of the things that my mother was concerned about Bill Clintoon becoming president at a young age, was he might become another FDR, president for life. The Monica/Cigar licking incident eliminated that bad nightmare.

Zero is a very dangerous individual. Many of us are concerened about your statement above re him going peaceable, when his term/terms are up.

Looks like an Romanian WASR type... which is based on the AK.

Leon Panetta is Obama's pick for CIA director

This removes all doubt -- Barry wants to kill us all!

I was disappointed by the choice of Panetta. Now may need to re-think that, seeing as how Feinstein is hot under the collar about it. Also kind of nice to know that President-elect Obama is snubbing Feinstein.

One of the posters here, Winged Hussar, had posted articles of allegations of voter suppression by the Obama campaign back during the Nevada primaries.
