In a special message of holiday cheer, Chrysler announced through filings last week that its pre-bankruptcy self doesn't appear to want to make good on its $3.7 billion loan from U.S. taxpayers. The money went to the old Chrysler (now called, officially, the "OldCar Co") through the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) in April of 2009 when the company announced its "fast track" Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

That gives the Democrats a 41-seat cushion against a reversal in fortune. But the party holding the White House typically loses seats in a midterm election year, and the recession -- and a conservative backlash to policies pursued by President Obama -- could make 2010 tougher than usual for the party in power.

According to a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Thursday, 40 percent of people questioned say the U.S. would be better off if Democrats ran Congress; 39 percent feel things would be better if Republicans took charge on Capitol Hill.

This clip will make you feel literally ill. In this disturbing presentation, the good doctor confirms many conservative pundits' hunches that Barack Obama's presidency is essentially a perpetual campaign by stating it outright. He expounds that it's a campaign not just to win elections for the Democrat Party–why Dean is in a foreign country discussing strategies for only one party of the U.S. political system is beyond me–but to influence policy indefinitely into the future. But more importantly and despicably, Dean trashes American...
