True.

   “They’re not corrupt; they’re incompetent”

   Pfff…and that’s somehow better?

   Anyone else find it laughable that the Administration exhoriates Goldman Sachs and BP yet holds on to their sizable donations?

   And by laughable I mean sobbing from the hypocrisy of it all?

   Way to go Palin for punching at Obama for this. That’s my momma grizzly!

   You have to give Sarah Palin credit. She knows how to tweak the Democrats like no one else. Who in the Obama camp ever expected to be accused of being beholden to Big Oil? Classic.

   So, now incompetence is a good thing? Or, is it just a degree of malfeasance?

   “Incompetence” is quite correct.

   I’m pleased to hear the administration finally admit it!!

   Kristen always tries make herself be more clever by half than others. She, herself, is not intellectually impressive. Don’t know who she knows at Fox but she embarrasses herself whenever she is amongst more seasoned players (like today on Fox News Sunday when matched up against Britt, Bill, even Mora).

   Come to think of it, incompetence and malfeasance are on a completely different scale than corruption. Corruption is criminal!

   And how does she know that the BP donations did not influence Obama? Where is her proof? She assumes incompetence, but that does not convince me.

   If Obama were simply incompetent, he would do things right every now and then just by chance.

   C’mon guys, you are smarter than this. Obama doesn’t give a dam because he needs this spill to be as bad as it can get. He’s hoping for oil trashed coastline from corpus christie all the way to Miami.

   Remember, never let a crisis go to waste. He’s just hoping that there will be thousands of miles of contaminated coast line out there. He is happily watching a private sector company fail to control the situation so he can later make another power grab for the government.

    Hi there my American friends!

    This is ABSOLUTELY must be seen video.

    Probably one of the best political ads ever.

    “Les Philips Swore To Defend Against Enemies, Foreign And Domestic”

    I found it on http://theothermccain.com

    Another fantastic black American in the league with great Allen West.

    We know that the 90% of blacks voted Obama but those who are against him are truly the BEST Americans.

    I keep thinking about the Obammunist’s lack of concern about governing against the will of the people and his long term plans. Might it be that he doesn’t want to run for a second term? There’s been lots of evidence in that regard, some of it from his own lying mouth. Besides the fact that he’s pretty damned lazy, quitting after one term would be equivalent to a “virtual assassination” and grant him canonization to liberal sainthood (kinda like what could have happened to LBJ if he fit a particular demographic). The story line would be, “oh he was just too advanced for Neanderthal Americans and racist Americans hated him because he was black.”

    Barrack Obama was playing golf and was not available for comments. The Vice President did say the spill was big effing deal.

    Everything he does is on purpose. He’s bright, but evil. He’s smart enough to fool over half our countrymen to get elected, despite having no crdentials. Do not ever under estimate this man.

    Oh, there’s no way in hell he’s not running for a second term. No way! In fact, if he doesn’t win, I predict violence in the street. On the other hand, the table will be set in his favor and it will be nearly impossible to defeat him. When the electorate realizes it has been cheated, the cheated will rise up.

    Civil war awaits us either way. It’s what he wants.

    They (Obama and the Democratic Congress) are corrupt. I don’t agree with Kirstin Powers.

    “if he doesn’t win, I predict violence in the street..” by those who aren’t willing to hold him accountable. those who are themselves guilty
    of the very same things they accuse others of.
