Looks like the political satirists wont be out of business when Bush departs. Wonder which will come first the derision or an upturn in inflation? Probably the derision.

That is a question that has puzzled me from an early age. There are some idealists about, but after that the answers aren't very edifying.

What satire is there ? I heard one about Rahm Emanuel putting a sign near the White House garden pond - "No walking on the water".
Jesus Hussein Christ eh ?

By the way the Birth Certificate issue has not gone away. Some Judge decided that the person bringing the charge did not have standing to take the case, whatever that means. Most say it sounded more than odd to me and interestingly from what I can gather Obama's legal types did not chose to deny the charge but chose to kill by this means. Wonder who they believe does have standing? Anyway it is going to the Supreme Court.
Common sense would tend to suggest that if there was no problem you would simply produce the Birth Certificate, why not? I think there is something adrift, but at this stage, if so, there would be a lot of vested interest to keep it buried.
Meanwhile Obama makes his weekly adress to the nation. Boy does he love himself.
Note no mention of investigating the fraud that is the bail out.

I hated it. Randy redeemed it, just about ('Chaaaaaange, it's chaaaaaange'), but the Ocean's Eleven stuff was woeful...

That is a depressing speech Squire: service, sacrifice and make-work schemes
Quote :
That starts with the kinds of long-term investments that we've neglected for too long. That means putting two million Americans to work rebuilding our crumbling roads, bridges, and schools. It means investing $150 billion to build an American green energy economy that will create five million new jobs, while freeing our nation from the tyranny of foreign oil, and saving our planet for our children. It means making health care affordable for anyone who has it, accessible for anyone who wants it, and reducing costs for small businesses. And it also means giving every child the world-class education they need to compete with any worker, anywhere in the world.
It seems to be the Roosevelt route again.
Economically, if he holds to a protectionist US first approach, he would in that respect be to the right of George Bush. We will only know, I suppose, when his full team has been put together and goes into action.
There seems to be an indication that he will pull back from installing bases along the Russian border. That would be a meaningful change.

If Barack said that he is still talking cuckoo. All that is fantasy.
