With all of the spotlights on the high-stakes debt maneuverings by President Obama and Speaker John Boehner the last few days, few people noticed what Vermont's Sen. Bernie Sanders said:
"I think it would be a good idea if President Obama faced some primary opposition."
This is political treason 469 days before a presidential election. Yes, yes, this is just a crusty old New England independent for now, albeit one who caucuses loyally with Harry Reid's Democratic posse.
But while most of the media focuses on Republican Boehner and the tea party pressures on him to raise the debt limit not one Liberty dime, Sanders' mumblings are a useful reminder that hidden in the shadows of this left-handed presidency are militant progressives like Sanders who don't want to cut one Liberty dime of non-Pentagon spending.

Strong support among liberal Democrats for Obama's jobs record has plummeted 22 points from 53% down below a third. African Americans who believe the president's measures helped the economy has plunged from 77% to barely half.
Obama's overall job approval on the economy has slid below 40% for the first time, with 57% disapproving. And strong disapprovers outnumber approvers by better than two-to-one.

The incumbent fraud has a nifty weapon for that scenario — he can use our money to bus in those recalcitrants.... not to mention reviving the dead for one more civic duty.
Notice the look of disgust on the secret service guy in the back ground.That says it all.
The left will NEVER leave Obama’s side.
The scary part is has anyone really noticed how many hard core lefties in many positions of power and influence we have in the USA who are willing adherers to the altar of collectivism???
These people will never stop believing and even if Obama’s is tossed from office in 2012, they will try again.
The hard core lefties are the source of many of our problems much more than some two bit Cook county community organizer.
USA Toady had a similar picure of Her Highness, not front page, sometime last week. I had the same reaction you did - she is sure showing age.
Looks like one of the wookie’s cast-offs.
Reminds me of when Richard Kind “went black” on Spin City.
They all will return to the plantation come votin’ time.
They also cannot afford to be painted as the "black" party which doesn't give a damn about anybody who is not one of "Holder's People". If everybody but the black vote leaves, then they're done.
I certainly hope so, but they'll also be comforted by his attempts to destroy America from within, so I suspect they'll still come home to their beloved Party.. not all, but most.
And a huge scandal that embroils him and his regime at peak time right before the election.
This is just more of the smoke and mirrors propaganda campaign from the 0 Campaign to try and make him look "Centerist". These people will be working feverishly to reelect 0 next year.
Cr@p, you’re right. Is there a light at the end of the tunnel.
I’m looking forward to hearing Nominee Palin (or Bachmann, or Perry) addressing a large Black audience, with the keynote phrase: “Are you better off now than you were four years ago?”
This is the perfect time to crack the stranglehold on blacks held by Dems.
Please God,no. She is Obama with a pantsuit.

I have loathed the Clintons for 2 decades. I’m certainly no Clinton lover; Hill or Bill, but Obama makes even them look acceptable. I do not think we would be in as big of a mess as we’re in if Hillary would have defeated the Muslim Marxist in the Dem Primaries.
Bernie thinks Obama needs a Primary Challenge? OK Bernie, step up to the plate.
Maybe, but if you were extremely unhappy with the Republican candidate, what would you do on election day?
469 days...how much is that in minutes?
obama’s focus in this debt/budget debate has been to prop up the govt for the increasing number of people who have become dependent on “the state”. It does nothing to change policies that affect job growth. In fact, increasing taxes will further depress this economy.
His path forward is to shore up benefits for those on govt programs. But, there are still plenty of people who still want to work. Being on govt handouts doesn’t cover most peoples’ bills or offer “hope” for a better future. There is dignity from earning what you receive.
obama’s plan assumes the best is behind us. His plan is to just make it more “fair” by taking more from taxpayers, transferring it to those who aren’t.
