One of the side benefits of the birth certificate/OBL-raid twofer is, there really is nothing left for the racists to hide behind.

hmmm..I can just picture that!

Lets hope he doesn’t pull another flyover photo op.

People are asking what Obama is going to do with his bump.

I will tell you. Obama is going to use his bump to barter away some more of our stuff at secret meetings.

Ain’t that the bloody truth. Maybe it is time to make all schools charter schools so he can fulfill his promise to Arne.

A good and peaceful May day to one and all. Visit your local Union Headquarters and give them encouragement.

Maybe he’ll announce that all troops will be brought home immediately. Then tell us what he’s going to do about job creation, gas prices, trade polcy, healthcare, and our overall decline of living standards.

Unfortunately, perrylogan@4, is spot on.

Good morning, pups. It’s Collins and Kristof today. In “Doctor, Patient and Politician” Ms. Collins says let’s talk about Mitch Daniels for a minute. It’s all about information, information, information. For even more information about Mitch Daniels I heartily recommend Doghouse Riley’s excellent work. Mr. Kristof, in “Beyond Flowers for Mom,” says a woman dies in childbirth every 90 seconds or so somewhere in the world. Mother’s Day is a chance to help end these preventable deaths.

Here they are.

The coffee and tea are ready, and I’ve got blueberry pancakes this morning. It will be interesting to hear the howler monkeys’ response to the President’s visit. Just be sure to dodge the feces that they’ll be flinging… Have a great day.

Morning all,

Perhaps O will give a speech like Michael Douglas gave in “The American President”, standing up boldly for the people and putting the wingers in their place. Well, I can dream, anyway.

Instead he will tell us that we have turned the corner in Afghanistan and will only need to be there until 2020. And we must pay for it by austerity, especially at the expense of those money-grubbing brats in Head Start programs.

The wingnuts are ticked at having lost almost 20% over the last week on the value of all the silver Glenn Beck fooled them into buying.

And their anti-American undies are showing. Big time.

On May 5, 1961, Alan Shepard became the 1st US man in (suborbital) space.

I agree it is a campaign commercial. And I agree that Bush choose wisely when he chose not to attend.

But Obama has as much right to exploit OBL for political gain as any other politician.

Boxturtle (For Obama, I think we need to keep the exploits simple)

The best way to make a small fortune in silver is to start with a large one.

Boxturtle (And silver will come back once Japan recovers. It’s a VERY useful metal)

As a Hoosier, I can enthusiastically say “F*ck Mitch Daniels and the horse he rode in on!”

Then you agree with Doghouse Riley, who has been known to post tiny pictures of Daniels captioned “actual size.”

I just discovered Doghouse Riley a few weeks ago — great stuff about Indiana politics. I tried to post this article to my Facebook and wound up with one of the comments under the title, which I don’t want. So I took it down again.

People are asking what Obama is going to do with his bump.

Heh. The “bump” comment, juxtaposed with the title of this post, makes me laugh. And then we’re discussing teeny tiny Mitch Daniels. LOL.

Silver is gold. It’s the most conductive metal in the universe, and it’s well worth several bucks an ounce.

Perhaps he’ll find his pair of lost soft shoes and join the first responders and teachers who are fighting for the right to collective bargaining in Wisconsin. That will never happen. Instead he is already trying to pass three free trade deals.

Doris Kearns Goodwin: “We got Obama!”

The comments on Gail Collins’s article are very interesting to read. Thoughtful and well written, and not a wingnut in sight.

Charter schools are all about having taxpayers pay for religious education. And race. True?

It occurs to me that Mrs. Macbeth could have assuaged her guilt by saying “God bless America,” after she and her better half killed the king.

From the comments:

Fortunately, Mitch knows all about the budget deficit because he is the guy who CREATED the deficit. He was George Bush’s Director of the Office of Management & Budget.

Meant as reply to Good Golly …

We know the Obama job creation will be in Tax breaks to the Productions of Goods and Services we use everyday in other nations with slave wages.Gas and Energy prices will level out before $6.00 a gallon.Trade Policy will be for the Profit of the financial elite.While cutting the value of all working class USA citizens.Cutting wages and benifits.Cutting Social Security and Medicare.Health Care will be handled by the Insurance Industry for profit.Health Care will be delivered by Insurance codeing and not the Doctors knowledge.Medicare buy in or the Public Opption would give the USA citizen and there Doctors the say in there health Obama made it clear not going to happen on his watch.Decline liveing standers will be new home made with cardboard boxes from China,korea,south america,ect. shipping of goods belonging to the upper middle class and financial elites.USA Wall Street investments doing great.Jobs,Wages,Benifits not not looking so good for the bottom 70% of USA citizens.

He also privatized the Indiana toll road and stripped public employees union rights (his first day in office) as retaliation for campaign donations to his rival.

Sorry, but I’m horrified with team Obama and every huckster with a microphone. They’re cheering on the worst elements of the American psyche with a repulsive display of triumphant bullshit.

It’s one thing if Obama was planning a draw down of troops. On the contrary, they’re lining up new enemies for new ventures in endless wars. They’re insane, you know.

This week’s like a freaking nightmare. Team Obama had to be going off the rails after the humiliation of the birther speech along with his sinking poll numbers. Today we get to see that Obama’s a strong leader and a true American. Sheesh.

Their madness is their insistence in favoring Wall St over the American people and everyone knows it. Obama would be a lock for another term if he did right by the American people, but his instincts are to sell us out. Obama’s their man and he’s blowing it.

Nothing will save him in this shit economy.
He can watch his poll numbers sink with the dollar.

Yup.

Yeah, Attaturk, matching flight suits. It would have made a great spectacle had Obama done exactly the same as George W. including aircraft carrier, identical speech, same photos, and “Mission Accomplished” banner.
