THE LIBERAL THREAD #3- No Debate Please

I just posted this over on the Heathen's thread ...

Well, we all know where you're going, Missy.

The right keeps saying that Obama's "most fervent supporters already have reason to be disappointed in him." Huh?

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm not disappointed and I haven't run into any Obama supporter who was. What say you folks?

It seems to me the people who are most disappointed are:

1) the PUMA's because Hillary betrayed them by agreeing to work in Obama's administration

2) the rightwing who just knew that a former community organizer named Barack Hussein Obama was never going to win against a war hero and "their Sarah". After all, Sarah told them "perhaps so, you betcha".

3) the Republican cons who are so disappointed Obama looks like a president, talks like a president, and acts like a president. They were so sure he'd be hiding under his bed now.

Btw, I think I know why Obama hasn't produced a birth certificate that passes muster with the folks who would question his birth even if they were there attending: He was never born. That's what he's hiding.

Yeah, that must be it.

He hasn't produced a birth certificate because he is the devil. It's "end times" you know. You can read about it in the bible, which was NOT written by some white dude with an agenda. Better change your wicked ways.

Joe's asking about purchasing the house next door. Of course, he has no down payment, bad credit, a tax lien against his current residence and in all truth, isn't really interested in buying the house...he's just asking about it.

I wonder what happened to Joe? Sounds like the republicans just used him up and tossed him aside, kind of like dear sweet Sarah.

Sarah's still working it...hard!! From what I understand, she's going to be on the Babs Walters special, right between Tina Fey and Rush Limbaugh...

Yeah, that must be it.

The Republicants keep calling him "The Messiah". Maybe he's just an alien?

If so, horray for the first African-Martian voted into the White House!

*snork*

Ok, this made me lose it!

Have you seen the lame response from Bush on the recession?

Bush Acknowledges Recession For The First Time

JENNIFER LOVEN | December 5, 2008 12:47 PM EST | AP


WASHINGTON — President George W. Bush publicly acknowledged for the first time Friday that the U.S. economy is in a recession and worried aloud that Detroit's Big Three automakers may not all survive their mounting troubles.

Four days after the government made the long-suspected existence of a recession official, Bush used the word himself.

"Our economy is in a recession," Bush said flatly, speaking to reporters on the South Lawn only hours after the release of a government report showing the biggest month of job losses in 34 years. "This is in large part because of severe problems in our housing, credit and financial markets, which have resulted in significant job losses."

While repeatedly listing the serious problems in the economy, the White House has refused to embrace the actual term until Monday, when a panel for the National Bureau of Economic Research said the recession began last December and is ongoing.

With automakers, particularly General Motors, in fear of bankruptcy, they are seeking from Washington a huge cash infusion of up to $34 billion, beyond an existing $25 billion loan program. Lawmakers are considering the idea, but there is uncertainty about the level of support on Capitol Hill for that plan.

Bush displayed skepticism about the wisdom of new aid to companies that still need to make "hard choices on all aspects of their business." So while urging lawmakers to act next week to help the battered industry, Bush urged a Congress controlled by opposition Democrats to follow his approach.

The president supports adjusting the $25 billion loan program, so that the money would be available more quickly and for more urgent needs than its original long-term purpose of helping to retool factories to produce more energy-efficient cars.

"I am concerned about the viability of the automobile companies," he told reporters on the South Lawn. "I am concerned about those who work for the automobile companies and their families. And likewise, I am concerned about taxpayer money being provided to these companies that may not survive."

With only 46 days left in office before President-elect Barack Obama takes over, Bush declared: "It's important to make sure that taxpayers' money be paid back if any is given to the companies."

The president spoke not long after the release of a government report showing the biggest month of job losses in 34 years. Reacting to the jobs report for November, which also showed a huge jump in the unemployment rate to 6.7 percent, Bush expressed deep concern for Americans who have lost jobs, but also said there are some encouraging signs about the credit markets. "There is still more work to do," he said. "My administration is committed to ensuring that our economy succeeds."

At 12 months, the current recession is already the longest since a severe 16-month slump in 1981-82. Many economists say this downturn will ultimately set a new record for the post-World War II period.

During Bush's eight years in office, the United States has fallen into two recessions. The first one started in March 2001 and ended in November of that year.

I had to search hard for the thread. Are you all out Christmas shopping or are you watching a marathon evening of Keith/Rachel/Keith/Rachel and then switching over to Bill Maher?

I'm posting in an inebriated state. The young one is at a friend's house and my dear G took me for Mexican food and a few maragaritas (for me, he was driving). I am feeling no pain.

Hi. Bill Maher is on hiatus.

Heard on NPR that PE Obama has $30 million left in his war chest and although he'll probably help out his fellow Dems in the midterm elections (at $2K a pop), he's considering saving the majority of it for the 2012 race. Talk about having a head start! Pretty amazing, if you ask me...

I am saddened this AM as my 18 year old cat, Willow, died last night. It was not unexpected and she led a long much loved and loving life. It still hurts of course and the last few days she went downhill fast. I am grateful she died on her own. The last few pets had to be euthanized and, though it is merciful, I am always troubled by it. My Vet will hold her till I get back to PA to bury her.

As she was approaching the end of her life my friend and neighbor was able to rescue and find a home for a beautiful long haired cat she had been feeding in our parking lot for 2 years!!

So as one feline life ended; anothers begins...


OK I digress!


45 days!!!!
