Discussing Obama's recent achievements isn't especially invigorating for the Democrat Party stalwarts.

That's because few of them read the news. This guy makes some good points, IMHO: The Washington Monthly - The Magazine - The Incomplete Greatness of Barack Obama

There's a time and place for everything, especially in politics. The GOP is serving up the media buffet, so there's on reason for the other party to do anything but watch the show that never ends. After there's some nominee, expect the phrase "killed Bin Laden" to be bandied about.

I'll give Obama the Bin Laden accolade. I was impressed he did it without any preparation or assistance.

I didn't really mean it that way.

That's a little closer, but not much.

What I was really focusing on is that all of the screaming, yelling, ranting and raving about the gop candidates is coming from the left. That just seems odd for some reason.

After all, I drive a Mercedes. I don't see any reason to get all riled up about whether chevy or ford is a better car. And while I'm neither an ass or an elephant, I don't get why all of the "ford" drivers are screaming about how bad the chevy models are. After all, if you're a ford faithful, you avoid chevys anyway (heck, if you're a wild fordanatic, you probably even avoid the restaurant as well?) so who cares what models chevy is considering?

Perhaps it's more that I don't like politics anyway. But it just seems like it's the gop who would/should/could be more interested in the gop candidates...and yet it's the leftys who are ranting about them. The leftys aren't going to vote for anyone other than their anointed messiah anyway, right?

Or is this just the broader reflection of our increasinly-polarized society, that those who claim the left group couldn't possibly do *anything* but insult and criticize and badger anything the right does?

That seems as likely a conclusion as any. And in that light, it's no different from the rest of the political BS slung back and forth. After all, clearly the right won't be happy until they have us living back in the stone age, men dragging women by their hair from cave to cave (being careful not to cross the black cat's path or cross under a ladder!), and the left won't be happy until we live in a socialistic utopia, where we drink wine and smoke pot while the divine unions ensure that our every good thought comes true, without regard to individual effort.

I was impressed that everyone involved managed to keep it quiet.


Too bad Clinton didn't take the opportunity when he had it, though hindsight is always 20/20.

And that's an interesting question. If we have intelligence about someone like a bin laden in the future -- will we act to take them out lest they *might* do something?

I could care less about how one is supposedly worse than the other because "he/she/they" did this or that 20-40 years ago...yada, yada, yada...

Until I hear what good so-and-so has done, and why I should take him/her/they into consideration...you're all blowing hot-air.

I've already blown off certain characters so whatever is said, I'll let it go on by like the fart-in-a-windstorm that it is...

Otherwise...

Thanks for contributing to the failure of the Ozone layer...
