I have to believe something is going on with the planet, but the global warming people are suspect and have even changed their mantra to climate change.

What bothers me is just that China and India are just dumping shit left and right so I"m not sure why , even if we have the largest footprint, we have to foot the bill for all the eco friendly actions.

We've got 100 years of coal in the ground and we're selling it to China because we can't run outdated power plants here.

Yea, but what's different about it and the dozen or so times it's happened over the past couple million years?

"Won him a NPP and a hand job from a masseuse."

"Yea, but what's different about it and the dozen or so times it's happened over the past couple million years?"

I doubt the veracity of the letter...although I hope to God it is true.

It’s not that I don’t understand the critiques of Barack Obama from the enraged right and the demoralized left. It’s that I don’t even recognize their description of Obama’s first term in any way. The attacks from both the right and the left on the man and his policies aren’t out of bounds. They’re simply—empirically—wrong.

The right’s core case is that Obama has governed as a radical leftist attempting a “fundamental transformation” of the American way of life. Mitt Romney accuses the president of making the recession worse, of wanting to turn America into a European welfare state, of not believing in opportunity or free enterprise, of having no understanding of the real economy, and of apologizing for America and appeasing our enemies. According to Romney, Obama is a mortal threat to “the soul” of America and an empty suit who couldn’t run a business, let alone a country.

Leave aside the internal incoherence—how could such an incompetent be a threat to anyone? None of this is even faintly connected to reality—and the record proves it.

The job collapse bottomed out at the beginning of 2010, as the stimulus took effect. Since then, the U.S. has added 2.4 million jobs. That’s not enough, but it’s far better than what Romney would have you believe, and more than the net jobs created under the entire Bush administration. In 2011 alone, 1.9 million private-sector jobs were created, while a net 280,000 government jobs were lost. Overall government employment has declined 2.6 percent over the past 3 years. (That compares with a drop of 2.2 percent during the early years of the Reagan administration.) To listen to current Republican rhetoric about Obama’s big-government socialist ways, you would imagine that the reverse was true. It isn’t.

If I sound biased, that’s because I am. Biased toward the actual record, not the spin; biased toward a president who has conducted himself with grace and calm under incredible pressure, who has had to manage crises not seen since the Second World War and the Depression, and who as yet has not had a single significant scandal to his name. “To see what is in front of one’s nose needs a constant struggle,” George Orwell once wrote. What I see in front of my nose is a president whose character, record, and promise remain as grotesquely underappreciated now as they were absurdly hyped in 2008.

The problem with reading something somebody wrote is that you cant see if they actually have a straight face...

I just can't wait for the day repubs get over the fact a nigger won the white house a few yeas ago and decide to instead of bitch about It still many years later decide ti save their country instead of trying to save who signs their checks.

[Jungle Rat]

We are where we are today because of the sole fact that repubs are still pissed they lost to a black dude .

Obama is black?!???!

[Bklyn]

[billy bob bocephus]

Obama is black?!???!

no, no, no - bill clinton was black - why do you think hillary stayed with him?

[Hizzy III]

Billy Bob's point is incontrovertible.

[Bklyn]

Last time I'm gonna say this, and probably the first time anyone has...poor Mitt.

[eCat]

that was a pretty bad slip.

It won't cost him the nomination but Obama will run with that line.

[hedge]

What did he say?

[hedge]

Never mind, I googled it: "Gaffe on poor mars Mitt Romney win in Florida ". But I don't understand why a comment on Mars is going to cause him trouble...

[Bklyn]

That was mighty aTm of you there.
