All good ideas, but Liz doesn't want to admit that
we're dealing with a Wallace and Robeson viewpoint, not Truman and Acheson to say the least.

Jane

Liz Cheney for President!

centralcal

I am with you Jane! Go Liz Cheney.

Sue

Her father and I are so proud.

centralcal

LOL, Sue! Better be careful - you wouldn't want to make Lynn angry!

Sue

Why, I have no idea what you mean, c-cal. Her father is proud. I am proud. That's all I'm sayin'.

narciso

Right, it just seemed a little off, in the phrasing.

centralcal

Ooooh, narciso - Sue intended that phrasing! She claims "dibs" on Cheney - and I challenge her from time to time. She was establishing her "dibs" superiority (presumed).

narciso

Right, I know but if Lynne happened to drop by this corner of the 'intertubes'

Sue

LOL. If Mrs. Cheney is lurking, I love you too!

Sue

"dibs" superiority (presumed).

Presumed? Not hardly.

centralcal

Dreamer.

Patrick R. Sullivan

Ann Coulter's publisher should re-issue her 'Treason', because what Liz is saying about Obama's performance is exactly what Coulter's premise was in that book; that liberals can't root for America.

PeterUK

Of course Obama isn't interested in history.Obama hasn't got one.

If you have nothing to hide,you have nothing to fear.

Sue

It must really be getting bad on the Hill. Feingold has now called for Cheney's secret CIA program to be investigated.

I had to steal this from Ace. I hope they don't mind.

Perhapse this is the Dem exit strategy on Obamacare and Cap and Scam. They can tell the base they are putting off work on those to deal with this 'critical issue to the constitutional health of the republic.' Then they can go back to the base in 2010 and tell them the only way they will get Obamacare and Cap and Scam will be to re-ellect Dems to congress.

Roux

Obama would throw the truth and the constitution under the bus with his grandmother, rev wright, etal...

I love it!

Obama will regret starting the tradition of investigating the previous administration.

The bastard's as dirty as they come.

RichatUF

Ranger-

That is a pretty good strategy. It would also take the focus off this rather unfortunate set of events.

That link looks to be the real intelligence scandal.

PeterUK

bad,
"Obama will regret starting the tradition of investigating the previous administration."

One can only presume that Obama has no intentions of being in the position to investigated. Barrack Obama,President for life.

Thanks for that link, Rich. I hadn't seen this before:

In case you missed it, Iran’s highest-ranking clerical leader, the Ayatollah Montazeri, just issued a fatwa that declares the current regime illegitimate, and tells the Iranian people that they are entitled to remove it.

A number of people with whom I rarely discuss politics have expressed that fear, PUK.

RichatUF

bad-

The problem is that the bureaucracy is going to be so personally loyal to Obama that by 2012 there won't be any investigation of his administration if he were to lose, and he'll have the enHansened ACORN census numbers to plus up dem margins all over the country, so I'm not so sure he will lose. Obama will make it pretty much impossible for anyone other than him to run the Executive.

RichatUF

And I'm late again-PeterUK hit the right note: President for Life.

Rick Ballard

Rich,

That would be like Harrison, Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, Harding, Roosevelt and Kennedy then. So far he's only made it past Harrison.

bad

Check out the update on the CIA secret plots at HOTAIR. If the info is correct, some DEM congresscritters are gonna be embarrassed.

It was acting on a 2001 presidential legal pronouncement, known as a finding, which authorized the CIA to pursue such efforts. A “finding” is a stringent legal procedure, and is required that the President, obviously, the DCI, Attorney General, the key leadership of the Senate and House Oversight Committees, and others if it has direct impact, and is a rigorous process. That a “finding” was in order, as pointed out buried in the third paragraph…then whomever were the key members of the Senate and House Committees knew about this. Otherwise, no finding. Not all committee members, and certainly not the entire House of Senate, needed to be brought on board. But that little word “finding” implies a good deal more than the current congressional /Dem leadership is willing to discuss.

President for Life,does have its limitations, of course.

O/T: I see SarahPAC raised $733K in the past 6 months.

Romney raised $1.4M.

Pagar

Great find, PeterUK!
If you haven't read the link, you've missed a lot.
From PeterUK 2:37PM link

On the Internet, there is an organized, systematic cleansing of Obama-related content.
Obama has lived for almost 50 years without leaving any footprints -- none! There is no Obama documentation -- no bona fides -- no paper trail -- nothing. Just Obama's bullsh!t story.

How is anyone going tom investigate anything about Obama? Nothing will be found!

PeterUK

Pagar.
Thanks,What about his credit rating?
Looks like Obama has the same CV as the Invisible Man.
Could be the ultimate Nigerian scam.

narciso

Btw, according to this, some 200,000 came in during the period after her resignation

Very true, but there are ways to deal with that. One is to make life so misserable for the DC beurohacks that they simply choose to quite.

One way to do that would be to invert the "Baseline Budgeting" rules, so that last years budget becomes the cap, rather than the floor. Then impose a modest annual recision rate on every discretionary spending department of 1 or 2%. And to cap things off, any department that can't meet their recision goals will have the remainder taken out of the pay account for that fiscal year.

Pofarmer

Then impose a modest annual recision rate on every discretionary spending department of 1 or 2%.

Problem is, it's gonna take much, much more than that to sort this thing out. The next President, if they should intend to fix this mess, is going to be very unpopular. Of course, it will probably still be Bush's fault.

centralcal

Wow - oh - Wow!

You simply have to see this really short video at Gateway Pundit.

Russians Refuse to Shake Obama's Hand

I have never seen the man look so flustered! I only wish it would happen more often!

True. If it were me, I would argue for an 8% reduction right away, to make up for the 8% boost the Dems pushed through and Barry signed back in February. Then I'd call for 3% recisions every year until the budget ballenced. But just getting a 1% annual budget cut though any congress would be a true achievment.

Ranger

BTW, Hot Air has a post on Rattner that just resigned as Car Czar.

PeterUK

centralcal.
But,but,Obama was going to bring harmony to the world.The Russians wouldn't be like that if they were still communists.

Pagar

According to some of the comments on the article at Hot Air, his replacement is qualified because:
he has never worked in the auto industry,
has worked for unions, and last but not least--has an MBA from Harvard.

LUN

Ignatz

cc,

From the comments it appears Barry may have been introducing some of his guys to Medvedev which is why they're not shaking his hand. If so GP should correct it.

centralcal

I read those comments too, Ignatz. So I watched the video about 4 times. O's lips are not moving with each of the gestures and he definitely looks nonplussed, to say the least.

I even looked to see if an interpreter was in the frame (couldn't tell) which might explain O's just grimacing and gesturing.

centralcal

Ignatz: I went back and additional comments have been posted. One had a link to a WaPo photo, that does indeed show Obama introducing Mevedev to the "US" delegation.

Still - in the video he sure does not look comfortable about whatever is taking place.

PeterUK

Ignatz,
No,Obama has erased his past so effectively they can't see him.You have Harvey the giant rabbit as president.

Barbara

It sure looked like he was trying to shake their hands and was perplexed when they didn't respond.

Ranger

Notice how team Barry timed the Rattner resignation with the first day of the Sotto Show to ensure little media attention and minimize the damage of another bad executive choice by The Won.

Janet

Why would you trust the Wapo?

matt

Obama is so busy revising history he's going to eventually be known as the lyingist president ever. Pretty damn sad.

clarice

I agree, Ignatz..and there's a link to another photo which definitely supports that claim.

PD

"Feingold has now called for Cheney's secret CIA program to be investigated."

Just as Obama makes me ashamed to be left handed, Feingold makes me ashamed to be a Wisconsinite.

PD

"and temptations, PUK."

Been reading "Term Limits," bad?

Gmax

Zero does not have to struggle to find disasters to hide other disasters. That much is damn true. So put up a racist for the Supreme and reminding a ton of blue collar folks who voted for him that this guy is nothing more than a unreconstructed Liberal, is going to allow him to hide Rattner resigning?

Ask me in about a year how that whole gambit worked out.
