After another hour-long session of harangues to her girlfriend including "I" and "me" in almost every sentence, Midler hesitates, and says: "Well, that's enough about me. Let's talk about you. What do you think about me?"<br /><br />This administration is indeed a nightmare.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-72284664559162552652011-07-17T19:16:28.559-04:002011-07-17T19:16:28.559-04:00Hawk

The hard drive self destructing would create all sorts of conspiracy theories mostly from the White House. We would be treated to an on going crisis eclipsing anything that POTUS wanted to convey.<br /><br />It would also have the added benefit of Obama being wary of all teleprompters. :-)Joel Farnhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15856960977033430002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-1960734147431565282011-07-16T14:31:34.133-04:002011-07-16T14:31:34.133-04:00Joel: I'd love to see that.

It would be hilarious if during a live speech, he would say, "I am resigning today."

Obama hauled it out, humorously usually, during the 2008 campaign (I don't look like other Presidents), but it was always there. This time it's likely to get vicious. Class and race warfare are about all the Democrats have left, and they're likely to play them to the hilt.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-53701614456991399852011-07-16T11:20:17.250-04:002011-07-16T11:20:17.250-04:00You know, for being a post-racial leader or someth...You know, for being a post-racial leader or something, Obama and his acolytes sure do like to bring up race whenever they're being challenged. I'm pretty sure one of them did it just yesterday; something about Obama's not being treated fairly with the debt crisis because he's black.

He'll never be a really top-notch demagogue because his most fiery speeches have the ring of the wannabe Southern preacher without any true passion behind them. Mostly he demagogues issues with all the fire of a second-rate college professor. Good demagogues attack their "enemies" with passion. Obama tells them to "eat their peas." I have to put Obama in the category of second-class demagogue, though he would love to be first-tier.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-20148168811792595472011-07-16T09:40:52.724-04:002011-07-16T09:40:52.724-04:00Hawk- I agree with everything in your post except ...Hawk- I agree with everything in your post except for the title (l.o.l.) Or, maybe it is just a matter of Obama making it look easy.<br /><br />However, recently, while trying to research the actual circumstances of Reagan raising taxes in his first term, I came across a liberal blog that was pushing just that point, probably due to a recent post in Politico. When I looked at the comments, it truly struck me how people on the left see their side as being just as correct as we do. For example, they will point to politicians wanting to wage wars without paying for them, blah, blah, blah. This is just a fancy way of describing the old adage "where you sit is where you stand" or the notion that two witnesses to an accident can see totally different facts.<br /><br />Of course, being convinced of the rightness of my own beliefs, there is no question in my mind which side is right! ;-)<br /><br />It also begs the age old question. Can this guy (Obama) actually believe any of what he is saying or is he just purposely lying? Probably a bit of both, I suspect.Tennessee Jedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10604275115906776992noreply@blogger.com
