FLASHBACK 2005

On his own Senate website Shelby sez:

I firmly believe that each of the President's nominees should be afforded a straight up-or-down vote. I do not think that any of us want to operate in an environment where federal judicial nominees must receive 60 votes in order to be confirmed. To that end I firmly support changing the Senate rules to require that a simple majority

Problem is that he said this when the president in office was a Republican. So you would think that he will do the same when the president is a Democrat.

Ok so this is pretty short one, sorry about that.

At a time when more and more people turning to the web for news and some live events, it looks like last night's SOTU speech was a success in terms of TV viewership, of course that is in addition to the success in delivering one of the best speeches he has given. From Nielsen.com :

48 Million Watch President Obama’s First State of the Union Address.

When your little gossip/right-wing-news site traffic gets OWNED by liberal blogs then you gotta do whachu gotta do: Fabricate more gossip, pull it straight out of ur rear end or make some shit up. I know its Drudge but its even to stooooopid to go the extra mile and stretch, cut and past to manufacture something out of nothing. Aparently Hillary is not gonna attend the SOTU speech, as she is already in London. The news article from the AP via yahoo clearly says:

We heard about Obama granting temporary status for Haitian living here illegally and some right wingers were grumbling about it. Now as per BBC: One African leader says they are welcome if they want to.

Senegal's president says he will offer free land and "repatriation" to people affected by the earthquake in Haiti.

President Abdoulaye Wade said Haitians were sons and daughters of Africa since Haiti was founded by slaves, including some thought to be from Senegal.

"The president is offering voluntary repatriation to any Haitian that wants to return to their origin," said Mr Wade's spokesman, Mamadou Bemba Ndiaye.

What a pleasant news to wake up to. This morning, if you are American and your president chosen to be the best among his peers or other world nominees, it should be one of your best and beautiful days. The whole world seems to be happy unless, sadly, if you are a Republican.

(AP)

WASHINGTON — The White House says President Barack Obama was woken up a little before 6 a.m. with the news that he had won the Nobel Peace Prize.

Press secretary Robert Gibbs learned from reporters that Obama had won the 2009 prize, and telephoned the White House early Friday to pass along the news to his boss.

Interesting also a call from ABC to WH, "it better be good"

Are we reading the president right? In other words, is the administration one hell of smart political machine we hoped for or the complete opposite? I am pissed and yeah the Olympic public humiliation has something to do with it, and yes the pugs cheering our loss but more importantly I hate capitulating ineffective toothless lion (hello health care bipartisanship, where are you?). I tried to come up with so many excuses for all the fuck-ups so far, we all do from time to time -of course. But this is making me question what the heck is happening in their style of governing.

How come Rham let him fly over there knowing this shit isn't in the bag. It is just mind bogglingly stupid. Yes other world leaders are there and all but this is POTUS.

America wants a leader who is inspiring, charismtic, smart etc... but admit it folks we love the leader of the free world to be "feared" and respected and more importantly a WINNER, fair unfair is not an issue.
They love him everywhere out there but show me anyone who fear him, enemy or foe.

Kanye West did what he did on the MTV music awards last night for his image and some – he gave green light to all closet racists a perfect excuse to openly and shamelessly write the n word in every comment board out there. Every black person is guilty now. A black guy vs a little white girl - perfect! I just wonder if this post racial experiment ever works? Folks, this isn’t even on a political blog, heck what is not political anymore nowadays?

Joe Wilson heckled the president[I'm sure he planed it very well], a first in congress's history and republicans award him with a million dollar donation. I don't know what to call that but a clear show of support. The shouting little boy from South Carolina know his real intention but I can say that he has a pre-existing racism and I am not sure Obama's plan will cover his illness. It is like the neanderthal wing of the far-right can't take it anymore that they are defeated by Obama. Everyday they wake up and it just doesn't seem to sink in that he is their C-I-C.

So,you pissed off at 2000 ~~election~~ robbed election, pissed off at the way the pugs used 9/11 to drive everything they wanted(tax cut, war, WAR, domestic spying ...)for the past 8 years disregarding every common sense and the very least regard for the other party, "fuck yourself Senator!" Cheney, anyone? (a Vice President of the United States, I had to say that for the MSM). So you fought the fight in 2004 nominating a war hero against the draft dodger oil men. The oil men won.

FF 2008, retooled, sharpened the message, fought like nails on every issue and WON, won that big battle. The bigots lost. Liberals were so ballsy to even nominate a guy who is extremely unlikely to win (in the traditional sense), a guy never cared to carry guns for election, which is unheard of vs a war hero(the other side this time). That was some balls, Libs. Great!

what did you do next?

Nice to seefolks across the pond lecturing the phony outrage birther cluserfuck astroturfing pugs over here.

LONDON – Britons reacted with outrage Friday at American criticism of the country's health care system and defended their cradle-to-grave medical coverage on Twitter, television and in the tabloids.

Right-wing attacks on President Barack Obama's health reform plans have struck a nerve in Britain, where residents broadly take for granted their universal coverage under the state-funded National Health Service — and look askance at the millions of Americans without insurance.
