Barry O can't hold a candle to the GREAT Don Cornelius.

As for Michelle, nice body, BUT-HER-FACE!!!

Seems like a good time to quote from my home page....

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” CS Lewis

I’m serious! hate it all stuffy in the house ;)

[nascent skeptic]

I wish it were that benign.

If only! Absolutely agreed, the consequences are disastrous.

That turn of phrase was only to capture my sense that this should be readily identifiable to all as a sucker's play, so to speak, just an old con game, that involves pushing people's envy-avoidance buttons...because the bag is, of course, empty.

It should be obvious that he can't deliver, because those committed to envy will simply move the goalposts...it would never be enough in real life.

I have a visceral reaction to it...I feel the same way as you about how destructive it is.

It’s “depleted”, not “depleated.” I notice that sometimes people on FR spell “speech” as “speach” also.

A lot of people spell Hildebeest with that incorrect "a", as well. Her name is correctly derived from the Afrikaans name for a charming African wild beast.

Small and stout

Gosh! Those folks are real troopers

[Revolting cat!]

and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK,"

Well, Mr Obama, if that is your real name, I asked the other countries about it just this afternoon, and they did in fact say, "OK"! Now what?

What about the people that don’t have central air? Oh my gosh, did he forget those. Maybe he should raise taxes so we can get a free furnace and AC that we can keep at 72. (sarc) I would be happy to.

It’s like the Bee Movie in reverse.

"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK," Obama said

Dear Surinam, Lesotho, Chile, and Liechtenstein,

May I have another slice of pie? It's over 72 degrees here.

The more Obama speaks, the better McCain sounds

Mr G seems to be leaning towards the Beretta Tomcat.
