Summers must have been to a late Wednesday night White House party. Thursdays are not a good time for Administration officials.

I think I can guess which day our enemies will choose to challenge us.

No, that would be a lie, and we prize honesty in these things,which really has no basis, on any of Obama’s previous statements. Much like the tax cut for the 95% of the population, which will be countered by cap and trade and other idiocies. When he said he would bankrupt coal companies, he would stand with the muslims, in a dark time. His record on gun control issues in Chicago. His statement in the Chicago reader, on the week of 9/11 saying he wanted to understand those who hated us, not attack their sanctuaries in Afghanistan or Iraq. His point about pregnancy being a burden, echoed by his head of the OLC.
Funny I do recall there was someone who did peg him exactly right, but the media deemed that her
statements were not only worthy of comment, but
actually inciting violence. There have been others in the media, who looked at his record, and his plans, and saw there was no way his successes could be good for the country, yet it was regarded as alarmist, for the subject was essentially a ‘good man’ For whom, Chavez, the Castro Bros, Kim Jon Il, Ahmadinejad, the Chinese
gerontocrats (although at this point, he doesn’t seem a particularly good bet.

As I noted yesterday, I would have told Perez that “I share the exact same position as our dirty little socialist President, in that my religion informs my politics”.

I totally agree with Tina Brown that Miss California’s answer and stiff spine will help her career ten thousand times more than capitulating to the forces of the Khweer Rouge would have. However, I hope that that isn’t being offered as some kind of excuse for subjecting her to such distasteful, dangerous, and un-American treatment. No one should have to take a loyalty oath to leftism in order to win a beauty contest–much less anything else–but that’s the first place those jackbooted stormtroopers go every time they’re let off their leashes.

Rather than a confused Larry King, I saw him as manipulatively leading and exploiting an immature young man clearly out of his element. What a sleazy shriveled up little bug Larry King is. Levi Johnston has a whole lot of growing up to do but Larry King should have already done that.

And what a shame that Miss California wasn’t shrewd enough to preface her answer with, I am in complete agreement with my President on this question….

If I recall correctly Obama said we should or he would invade Pakistan to hunt Osama, but with nukes at stake he sends Hillary to scold?

Not good.

Maybe they are busy planning what power they can get away with seizing after the next strike here. Does anyone think we would have had the 2000 elections if 9/11 had happened a year earlier?

Feck that c*nt Shep Smith. Hot Air has it right. If we are attacked and it could have been prevented by “torture” Obama will pay a political price. Let’s get this straight, one assclown murderous scumwad was waterboarded and gave up info about the LA bomb plot and pussies Smith, Power Thighs Sullivan and various other libtards think the poor al quaeda dude should never have faced coercive technigues???
I hear intelligence assets are doubtful about doling out info now. Looks like Obama’s minions will outdo Carter’s idiot Frank Church in eviserating out capabilities to prevent future attacks. Yeah, my heart cries for those unfortunate Iraqis who had panties over their heads and fake menstrual blood on them. Boo friggin’ hoo. From 911 on, no domestic attacks under the Bush administration? Of course W did nada about all the sedition emanating from his own CIA. Thousands of US military trainees have been waterboarded and the trolls here think it is too extreme for people who cut off heads and blow up innocents?

Fox had Tina Brown on with one of those panels they do. For once I agreed with her; she said that incident with Miss California will make her career. She will do far better now than if she had kept her head down and won.

The F 22 is still not my choice in DoD funding. I know it’s sexy but manned fighters are over. It’s actually a potential UAV because its performance envelope exceeds the tolerance of a human pilot. We might yet see a F 22D with no pilot.

If you followed that link, there was some reminiscing about the B 52. Personally, I think they should reopen the B 52 production line and build another 200 to 300 of them. There will never be a better heavy bomber. With the JDAMs and the other stand off munitions we have, the B 52 can perform well until mid century.
