Oh, really? So I guess the fact that the t-shirts handed out having the phrase "Together we Thrive" was just a coincidence, huh?

Check this out: Together We Thrive (Organizing for America Campaign Trial Balloon from 2008?)

14,000 T-shirts design, printed, and delivered in 48 hours.

Yeah, spur of the moment thing.

Together We Thrive (on the wealth of the productive and the gullibility of the sheep).

Sure sounds like a pre-cooked campaign slogan to me.

Who coined the need for us to "heal"? Nobody shot the 350,798,201 of us? It's just the 21 people who got shot that need our prayers and sympathy.

If I need to heal, I feel a bit selfish. I don't need to do anything except be smarter, more giving, a better father, and avoid bad people.

I was out and had ‘taped’ something on the tube and when I went to replay it this AM the variety show?? was on and as I was fast forwarding I stopped and lo and behold Holder was being introduced and you would have thought it was a rock concert with all the cheering etc...
Understand they both read from the Bible...kind of against ‘their’ standards in regards church & state isn’t it?
This morning I heard the ‘quote’ about her opening her eyes for the first time - I can’t really stand the SOB so I took it to mean he was saying she opened her eyes in his presence.
How would you like BO to be the first thing you saw when coming out of a coma?
Of course BO wouldn’t be within a couple of miles of any ‘tragedy’ etc me or my cohorts would be involved in.....

All this group of numbskulls are telling us when they make such statements, is that they are incompetent and they never believe that any responsibility came with the job.

I don’t believe this is Wellstone II, but it clear that they did not learn their lessons of the past. Not nearly as desperate and vile. Just as classless though. I was in attendence at the Wellstone Rally (please dont ask why), and I thought I was at a Nazi rally.

Nothing unusual about holding a pep rally in a basketball arena.

Really the teeshirts were made up last summer. They were for a vegan ceremony in Michelle's Whitehouse garden which could feed a family of three for four months, but cost $635,000. That was including the teeshirts though.

Ever wonder what a $600 tomato tastes like?

Obama’s speech lasted 33 minutes 44 seconds and was interrupted for applause 51 times.

What a disgrace. Obama hijacked a memorial service and turned into a campaign rally ala Paul Wellstone style.

Even the Washington Post could not ignore the tackiness:

"The Washington Post said it is not “offering a judgment on whether or not it was an appropriate tone for a memorial service, but rather that it made for at-times incongruous sounds and images on television.”"

I was a student there at the time, and a girl I was trying to date talked me into it. While I never learned anything about the girl, I definately learned a lot that day.

Oh yeah and BTW who’s idea were the pep rally t shirts that were given out?

Pep rally tee shirts?
That is the most rational question I've heard yet. What did the tee shirts say?
Obviously, there were many Obama supporters there who didn't have a clue. Who haven't the slightest notion of what a memorial service is.

Someone, evidently didn't give a **** and didn't want a large getogether go to waste. Political scavengers...
... and clearly Obamabots.
Inferior, even, than trailer trash.

Now that’s a shame. You had to suffer through that, and still didn’t get the girl.

The media has been talking about Obama needing a OKC moment, like Clinton, so when this happened they launched. Only, the mood of the country is different then. Also, Clinton is a showman and he can be endearing. Obama isn’t the cute and cuddley. I don’t think the attacks were as vicisious this time around.

Obama walked into that arena thinking he was getting his OKC moment and that the nation would be appreciative and fall at his feet. What he doesn’t understand is many of us could see right through the masquarade. It should have been about the greiving families, not about him.

Gibbs really wanted to say “there were no hoots and hollers. I didn’t hear anything that resembed a rally- you can’t be seriously suggesting that the president would stand for that, right?”.....But the WH will say anything with the hope that their supporters are just too dumb to know what really happened.

All I can say is that was an eye opening experience, that I thought at the time would be tough to duplicate. I actually came there to sincerly pay respect to Senator Wellstone, even though I thought he was a communist. I got no sense that anyone there cared about him.

Let me put some appropriate words in Dear Leader’s mouth. “Let me make this perfectly clear. It is not my fault. It was never my fault, and it will never be be my fault. As I’ve said before, it will never be my fault!”

Pep Rally/Memorial Service Guests Booed AZ Gov. Jan Brewer according to the NY Times.

“Even as it began, some conservative commentators were posting comments criticizing the memorial service for being overly partisan and more like a pep rally, and there were some boos in the hall when Gov. Jan Brewer, a Republican, spoke. Those reactions would have been hard to imagine, say, in the days after the Oklahoma City bombing.”(1)

Well, they didn't care about him.

There is a saying that liberals only care about groups of people, and conservatives only care about individuals.(or something like that)

I agree with that, and I think that really sums it up.

I’ve been to Aggie Muster in a “rowdy basketball arena”. It was a very somber event.
