Obama's Speech

I may disagree with the man quite often, but I just have to admire his political skills.
which is to say, he is filled to the brim with bullshit. I watched the same speech and lost count of the number of times he referenced the Constituition, would just dandy if he actually followed it. I'm particularily interested to see where that particular document gives him the authority to take an automobile company from share holders and bond holders and hand it over to a union. Cheney's speech that followed was far, far better.
Mike - typical white guy. The USA does have universal healthcare, but you have to pay for it. D'oh. Thomas Mann - "Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil." The NYT - my leftist brochure. Calling an illegal alien an “undocumented immigrant” is like calling a drug dealer an “unlicensed pharmacist”. God doesn't believe in atheists, therefore they don't exist.

And you don't think that he's filled with BS? I'm sure you can find just as many holes in his speech as Obama's if you wanted to. I've noticed how we've gone from 'we don't torture' to 'it worked on these high valued detainees'. Where in all of this did we admit that we torture or wasn't that the admittance of the memos? I thought we'd moved past that point and admitted that our government did. There's a particular interview of Cheney that comes to mind. He was asked 'why we didn't go all the way to Baghdad(sp?)' in the first gulf war. His response was what would we put in its place? That is would be chaos. After I saw that interview and then compared to the f**kups they caused, I can't help but wonder if he's telling the truth now.

you notice absolutely zip. The Magic Negro has defined the techniques as torture, Cheney defined it as enhanced interrogation techniques, that saved lives. do pay attention.

As near as I can tell, they are all topped off with all the crap McDonalds' heards can supply - including the ex-VP. I especially like Cheney's "Now that I am not vice-president, I can speak in public." When I say political skills, I mean his timing, his delivery, his choice of locations, his diction, most importantly the tone of his speeches, but even what he has his wife doing. In each and every one of these areas, he beats Cheney hands down.

It's good to know you think so.

Just because Cheney calls it so doesn't make it so. You can call it maple syrup that doesn't mean you an put it on pancakes.

It's funny, not really, how we turn allies into enemies and then into allies after we make war with them. Tyrant or not at the time, we supported him, what does that make us? Enablers.

we agree, with one exception - I'd pit Cheney's wife against Obama's any day of the week. but again, Obama is a master. I do think it is funnier than all hell to see Democrats in the senate push back.

My point was your deliberate use of "Le Frenchy" as an insult. This is obvious from the fact that many of the Americans posting here, espcially the conservative kind to which you seem to belong, despise anything European, particularly French, as if it was written in the Constitution. It is your freedom to not like them, I couldn't care less. But your use of insults outlines your lack of hability to oppose a solid argument. In fact, you seem to be a dimwit, and you also seem to recognize it by choosing the name of a rather primitive processor as your nickname. Everybody posts something stupid from time to time, but in your case, it is a trademark.

we have a republic with the only powers available to the central, Federal government limited to those specifically enumerated in the Constituition. No where in the Constituition is there a power to decide winners and losers, which is what is happening in the auto industry. this limitation is further strengthened by the 10th amendment. all the preceding has been ignored since the time of Woodrow Wilson and individual states, the possessors of powers not enumerated in the Constituition as being those of the Federal government, some 21 thus far, have passed legislation or resolutions restating that fact. the net result is that we may be heading for some rough, very rough times as states begin to assert the above. there was one such resolution passed in the Indiana senate but ignored in the house, there will be legislation introduced in the 2010 session to reinforce the 10th amendment.

Chrysler once, way back in the way back. that was in the form of a loan that was repaid. I'm not sure I can recall anything similar for the airline industry, but my memory isn't what it once was.

I just found an interesting link about at least some of the bailouts that have been given. click here[^] Do any of these ring a bell? I wasn't even born for some of them. I was wrong about the airline industry being twice according to this site
