(Ginrich): "He said Republicans should underscore the policies they favor — yes on tax cuts, a lower deficit,"... Right there more Bush crap that didn't work, and saying it blithely like there wasn't an inherent tension between those two things to begin with.

Is she really that much of an idiot? Surely she must recognize that even if he acquired ZERO knowledge as a senator, that the President of the United States does little things like sit in National Security meetings, confers with the Joint Chiefs and the Secretary of Defense regularly... Or maybe she is that dumb. Or realizes that all she has to do is say "community organizer" like it was a dirty word and her audience will lap it up.

Originally Posted By ecdc Not to mention Obama's thesis was on nuclear disarmament. Not that that means anything to people who have such disdain for education. It's a lose-lose for Obama.

Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan I understand that there are often differing viewpoints on things. But I am at a loss to understand the appeal of Palin. I just do not get it at all. She's purely a product of the mainstream media she pretends to despise. They keep her in focus because we're in the era of the never ending campaign. She's always going to say exactly opposite whatever it is President Obama says, which means that election-season horserace mentality gets to continue in the media. It's a shame. I think there are reasonable arguments -- somewhere -- to be had. But not when dunces like Palin and Gingrich are pandering to the teabaggers, trying to grab headlines from each other.

People likes us are seen as just part of the polarized political process - the other side of the coin. But I truly don't feel that way. I want there to be two sides to the story - I want to hear opposing viewpoints. It's essential to our democracy. But right now the other side (at least those in power) have gone so far off the deep-end that it's hard to want to even hear them open their stupid traps. It's this know-nothing wing - ignorant and proud of it, promoting greed and selfishness as grand American virtues - that's really ruining us. It sucks watching it happen to my country - these people couldn't be less American if they tried. But they ironically insist anyone not like them are the real un-Americans. Wow.
Originally Posted By Mr X I think it's a mistake for the President to even be naming these rabble-rousers by name (and he does seem to have a penchant for it, though this is the first time he's mentioned her name he says "Limbaugh and Beck" quite often)... If they're simply a media personality, there is NO reason for the President to be addressing them one on one (a Representative or other *actual* leader is a different story). He should take a leaf from Bill O'Reilly's book on that front.
Originally Posted By Princessjenn5795 I might be willing to admit Sarah Palin might know something about nuclear disarmament if she could first learn to pronounce the word correctly...it is nuclear not nucular Ms. Palin.
