No offense taken to the name modification. I wish that was the biggest thing I could find to be offended by!

Nice observation.

I only wish the implication that this would be the only time was true. I think what was meant, though, might have been “would stoop to” entering, which doesn’t preclude doing so in the future. Ironically, however, he may have to lay low for a while after what we are learning about him. And, if his ties to Rezko could be shown to be illegal, he might have an interminably long wait. One can “HOPE.”

Oh, and no offense meant at modifying your name, above. I just thought I would play along with the “chaos” part of it. I may in the future, too, unless you object.

“But both Obama and his wife, Michelle, ooze a sense of entitlement.

“Barack is one of the smartest people you will ever encounter who will deign to enter this messy thing called politics,” his wife said a few weeks ago, adding that Americans will get only one chance to elect him.”

deign
–verb (used without object) 1. to think fit or in accordance with one’s dignity; condescend: He would not deign to discuss the matter with us.
–verb (used with object) 2. to condescend to give or grant: He deigned no reply.
3. Obsolete. to condescend to accept.

Interresting article, except, O’Bomber is so far over that line it isn’t funny any more, especially with so many people thoughtlessly following him. I like where the author cautions him, “Nobody expects Obama to be perfect. But he better never forget that he isn’t.” No. We had better wake up, and realize how flawed he is, because he doesn’t have a clue and probably never will.

And O’Bomber spins faster than anyone.

…which I found at Powerline, Obie, instead of being ashamed at being caught, proudly puts his condescending arrogance on display, accusing McCain and Hillary of “politics,” for picking on him for making “mistakes” (Hillarity isn’t the only one entitled to “misspeak,”I guess). In other words, he’s playing the victim, because that’s all he’s got, to generate sympathy for his contemptible cynicism, which he passes off as righteous indignation. That’s chutzpah!

I couldn’t watch the whole thing at once. I had to take it in small portions. His spin was turning my stomach. (Calling gun ownership a quaint “tradition” which he implies that he respects - excuse me while I hurl). He just oozes arrogance and contempt for those he’s speaking to, kind of like this video which I think captures the essence of what is going on.

The man (and I use that term loosely) is an empty shirt, filled only with his own hot air, who has accomplished nothing except to line his pockets at the expense of his constituents. And now he has his eyes set on a larger prize, with much more potential for self enrichment, and a lot more constituents to neglect.

He sure do lie perty, though, don’t he?

Wes: I’m not surprised you see darkness and despair around every corner. You are a Democrat aren’t you?

No, I’m not. As I’ve said before, I’m a registered Independent who has voted for Republicans, Democrats and independents/third-parties at every level. I listen and read political debate across the spectrum. I’m conservative on some issues, liberal on others.

It’s sad; all I really said was, basically, “let’s get away from the BS attacks and talk about real issues,” and you responded with a BS attack:

Do you also want to admit being an Obama supporter or are you still hiding behind the fig leaf of objective neutrality?

Didn’t you get the talking points from the Clinton campaign this morning?

Now, the FUNNY part is that you can’t even do that very well. Yeah, we all know that Obama supporters get their talking points from the Clinton campaign…sheesh.

Here’s an exclusive snapshot of a painting I located in a small town Pennsylvania church. The artwork is entitled Jesus guards a Rio Grande border crossing.

It is said that power corrupts, but actually it’s more true that power attracts the corruptible. The sane are usually attracted by other things than power. - David Brin

Ninety-eight percent of the adults in this country are decent, hard-working, honest Americans. It’s the other lousy two percent that get all the publicity. But then–we elected them. - Lily Tomlin

Didn’t you get the talking points from the Clinton campaign this morning? She’s out there touting the rebirth in many formerly depressed areas of Pennsylvania.

It’s like watching the “Mirror, Mirror” episode of Star Trek. I read the leftist blogs, and some people hear a Satanic incantation every time Cheney clears his throst. I read the blogs on the right, and we get stuff like this.

In the meantime, real wages are continuing their 20-year downward run, we still have hungry people in America, and our soldiers are still dying. My state legislature just passed a budget that cuts education while putting a multi-million-dollar honeypot of tax revenues in what is basically a slush fund for the legislators, and the Democratic governor is probably going to sign it. The FBI is back in town, this time to investigate corruption in the previous Republican administration, and it looks as if some indictments will be coming down. We’ve reached the point at which, as political figures and hangers-on are indicted, we’re too busy trying to connect them to one candidate or another that we never take a step back and look at the inherent corruption of the entire system.

While I disagree with each of them on some policy matters, I believe that McCain, Obama and Clinton are basically decent people. They have high ambition, of course, and each has been corrupted to some degree by the moneyed path that is our political system, but I don’t believe any of them to be evil or un-American. More to the point, I despise those who attempt to label any of them as such.

We should remember the words of President Eisenhower:

Here in America we are descended in blood and in spirit from revolutionists and rebels - men and women who dare to dissent from accepted doctrine. As their heirs, may we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion.

as we move toward our next change of government.
