3 thoughts come to mind.
"PCAST was originally established by President George H. W. Bush in 1990 ..." Another nail in the OSS coffin. It is too bad they aren't appointed to advise Uuuhhhhbamas Teleprompter. TOTUS is way smarter than POTUS. |

#3: Another nail in the OSS coffin.
The OSS coffin already has about a million nails in it. What it doesn't have in it is a body, and never will. OSS gets bigger and more widespread every year, despite your wishes to the contrary. I don't know why Obama picked this MS guy. They could have gotten the same advice by getting a parrot that squawks "Buy Microsoft!". |

#8: Not only that but without the GOP to protect America, the King of England could show up at any time to push you guys around! And where will Obama be then, huh? HUH?!?!
#9: The fun comes with guessing how the GOP will spin it: 1. "Good riddance! He wasn't a very good Senator anyway" 2. "Bought!! He was bribed by Obama!" 3. "He's an adrift flip-flopper. He's just following the political wind." 4. "He's a disloyal, dirty, pinko, commie!!" 5. All of the above |

To Senator Specter, principles meant less than power. He noted that those identifying themselves as Republicans was at a very low 21% and that 200,000 people had re-registered as Democrats.
Senator Specter recognized that as a Republican, he would not be re-elected and he set aside any Republican principles he may have agreed with in order to have a better chance at re-election and retaining his seat in the Senate. |

#7 I take immense pleasure from knowing I was right ... Uhhhbama is the dumbest person ever elected to the Presidency. I am quite sad he plans to destroy the country.
#8 Not without a Teleprompter. And even then he is an idiot. #9 Corrupt politicians go where the bribes are. #10 5 is the correct answer. |

"Let's be honest -- Sen. Specter didn't leave the GOP based on principles of any kind," said Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele. "He left to further his personal political interests because he knew that he was going to lose a Republican primary due to his left-wing voting record.
"Republicans look forward to beating Sen. Specter in 2010, assuming the Democrats don't do it first," Steele said. This post was edited by NotParkerToo on Tuesday, April 28, 2009 at 15:33. |

It is interesting to remember Phill Gramm. When he switched from a Democrat to a Republican, he resigned his seat forcing a special election. He then ran as as Republican.
That was ethical. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Gramm#United_States_House_of_Representatives This post was edited by NotParkerToo on Tuesday, April 28, 2009 at 15:33. |

Bush nominated his cleaning lady to the Supreme Court. Palin thought Africa is a country. Bush tried to outsource port security to a company from.. Saudi Arabia. Do you remember CIA agent Valerie Plame? Alberto Gonzales? New Orleans? The list goes on and on and on.. Yet you call Obama stupid? No wonder people are leaving GOP. Really. "Obama's party now controls 59 seats in the upper chamber. When Al Franken of Minnesota is finally seated, Democrats will have 60, the number needed to squash a filibuster and move to a final vote." |

"Yet you call Obama stupid?"
Yes. Despite 8 years of accumulated anecdotal stupidity accumulated by Bush (much of it wrong) Obama still comes across as 10x stupider! Amazing isn't it? Austrian is a language. http://www.formulaforalife.com/2009/04/obama-ism-of-day.html Etc: http://hotair.com/?s=obamateurism |

#19 I think Uhhbamas path will lead to a military coup as more people realize he plans to to ruin the economy and surrender to all of our enemies. That would be sad. But I believe it is inevitable.

Outing a CIA agent *is* a fucking treason, not "Austrian is a language" type of ignorance. Don't even try to compare those, etc. GOP is completely out of touch with reality. Not too many will follow Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Cheney and others like them. America is smarter than that and clearly voted so.. Majority doesn't even take (or even listen to) your, republican, crap seriously any longer. The Times They Are a-Changin' This post was edited by gonzo on Tuesday, April 28, 2009 at 20:04. |

Plame was outed by her husband and she was not an undercover CIA agent. She drove thru the front gates when she went to work.
"According to Gallup's April survey, Americans have a lower approval of Mr. Obama at this point than all but one president since Gallup began tracking this in 1969. The only new president less popular was Bill Clinton, who got off to a notoriously bad start after trying to force homosexuals on the military and a federal raid in Waco, Texas, that killed 86. Mr. Obama's current approval rating of 56 percent is only one tick higher than the 55-percent approval Mr. Clinton had during those crises. As the attached chart shows, five presidents rated higher than Mr. Obama after 100 days in office. Ronald Reagan topped the charts in April 1981 with 67 percent approval. Following the Gipper, in order of popularity, were: Jimmy Carter with 63 percent in 1977; George W. Bush with 62 percent in 2001; Richard Nixon with 61 percent in 1969; and George H.W. Bush with 58 percent in 1989. " http://washingtontimes.com/news/2009/apr/28/baracks-in-the-basement/ As for Rush and Fox .... record ratings and the NYT is going bankrupt. |

"Plame was outed by her husband and she was not an undercover CIA agent. She drove thru the front gates when she went to work. "
Haha. Oh really? Is that why Libby was sent to jail? "WASHINGTON - Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, was convicted Tuesday of lying and obstructing a leak investigation that reached into the highest levels of the Bush administration. Libby was convicted of one count of obstruction, two counts of perjury and one count of lying to the FBI about how he learned Plame’s identity and whom he told. Prosecutors said he learned about Plame from Cheney and others, discussed her name with reporters and, fearing prosecution, made up a story to make those discussions seem innocuous." "As for Rush and Fox .... record ratings and the NYT is going bankrupt." Indeed, many (dems included) watch Fox, especially O'Reilly Factor, for example - I am not disputing their ratings. But it is votes on the election day that count, not TV ratings. Does the fact that Obama won doesn't tell that already? "The latest Washington Post-ABC News poll shows the depth of the party's problems. Just 21 percent of those surveyed identified themselves as Republicans. That's the lowest since the fall of 1983, when just 19 percent identified themselves as Republicans. Party identification does fluctuate with events. But as a snapshot indicator, the latest figures highlight the impact of Obama's opening months on the Republican Party. From a high-water mark of 35 percent in the fall of 2003, Republicans have slid steadily to their present state of affairs. It's just not as cool to be a Republican as it once was." http://voices.washingtonpost.com/44/2009/04/28/specters_departure_a_wake_up_c.html?hpid=topnews |

Gonz, clipping directly from Wikipedia is unwise.
Richard L. Armitage provided the information about Ms. Plame's employer to Robert Novak, and contrary to what you have obviously been led to believe, Armitage was no real friend to the Bush administration and in fact, subverted all efforts to build a case for war with Iraq. However... not even Armitage was the real source for Ms. Plame's 'outing' that credit goes to her own husband. Nevertheless, it now appears that the person most responsible for the end of Ms. Plame's CIA career is Mr. Wilson. Mr. Wilson chose to go public with an explosive charge, claiming -- falsely, as it turned out -- that he had debunked reports of Iraqi uranium-shopping in Niger and that his report had circulated to senior administration officials. He ought to have expected that both those officials and journalists such as Mr. Novak would ask why a retired ambassador would have been sent on such a mission and that the answer would point to his wife. He diverted responsibility from himself and his false charges by claiming that President Bush's closest aides had engaged in an illegal conspiracy. It's unfortunate that so many people took him seriously. Please do read: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/08/31/AR2006083101460_pf.html |

and Gonz.... the natural uranium that Iraq 'DIDN'T" have?
Well... it did... 550 tons of the stuff. all now in Canada. The last major remnant of Saddam Hussein’s nuclear program — a huge stockpile of concentrated natural uranium — reached this Canadian port Saturday, completing a secret U.S. operation that included an airlift from Baghdad and a voyage across two oceans. The removal of about 550 tons of “yellowcake” — the seed material for high-grade nuclear enrichment — was a significant step toward closing the books on Hussein’s nuclear legacy The LA Times reported, http://www.bloggernews.net/116579 |
