BYO popcorn, beer and barf bags.

"Two words for you: Mike Ditka."

I heard that!!

[Rastus]

Five words:

President Mike Ditka. YEAH, BABY! WHOOOOOOO!

Okay, that’s six.

[Guns]

Recap of president Nothing’s speech:

FEAR, CATASTROPHE, DOOM! GLOOM! FAILURE! MASS PANIC!

[kcar]

Gold was rising while Obongo was speaking and stock futures are down. I can’t wait to hear what Turbo Tim the tax cheat unveils tomorrow.

[longtermmemmory]

Obama is desperate to show he is in charge. He IS ALREADY like carter. He has to control all. (carter even set the tennis court schedules)

[ChicagoConservative27]

If Ditka would have run for Senate....

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

I was sorta half bored, half shocked. Maybe a tad depressed.

[Miss Marple]

LOL! I forget to preview when I am in a rant. Srop/drop, it all means the same. LOL!

I see Bernie Goldberg noticed Helen's "so-called terrorists" comment, and he is not pleased.

[GOP Poet]

But Reagan knows God is going to level this piece of poo. So I guess he could be smiling at that knowledge, but feeing a bit bad for us conservatives. Time to use this nastiness as teaching to the American public about the difference in economic systems and maybe begin a turn around for our future. Time to flush the non-conservatives from the party!

I wish President Reagan could be with us, but I guess he is in spirit as shown by your loving post about him :-).

[Rastus]

I read that as, “God was rising as Obongo was speaking. . . .” I was hoping lightning was to follow.

[stentorian conservative]

That exactly what my husband says. . . it's all Ditka's fault.

Being a Packer fan and all. . .

[HollyB]

He seems to be pursuing a lot these days as well.

[navysealdad]

His poll numbers will go up..

[jhw61]

o.k. ChicagoConserative27...you didn’t supply me with a case of Kleenex before that post....My eyes are already puffy from the eye waxing yesterday. Gosh, how could I afford that as a single Mom in the deep Depression...These people need to get over themselves quick!

[Mygirlsmom]

He is one angry man! The leader of the free world is angry...how about that!

Yep, three weeks on the job and he hasn't put that "free" thing totally to bed. You'd be angry too if you were him.

[callisto]

"Feel tired and confused after every lying answer which I am starting to think was his tactic."

You are correct in your assessment. It's easier to control the masses if they don't really hear what you say and remain adoringly entranced while you make a blitkrieg implementing most pieces of legislation which would never pass historically. Ever feel like our country is driving while blind

[azishot]

All he does is campaign. He’s always angry...looks into the camera and his eyes say “I can’t believe there are people out there who disagree with me. I won!”

[Cyberrat]

"If Ditka would have run for Senate...."

In '04, Ditka would have won. Obama would still be a State Senator (maybe), and Hilary would be.... Oh crap...wait.. We were screwed either way!!! Never mind.
