Everyone keeps saying this guy is insane but maybe he's just trying to make as much noise as possible knowing he's a goner. "If you want my seat, you'll have to drag me kicking and screaming to get it!" Comparing his impeahcment to Pearl Harbor? Why not? his career is done, why not take a dump on one of the worst attacks in US history? He's got nothing to lose at this point.

You can only cause so much damage before your right to complain about the other side is forfeit. The republicans crossed that threshhold a few years back with Katrina. We need to remind them of that every opportunity we get.

See, that's exactly what I plan to do when it's my turn.

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!! IT DOESN'T COUNT!!!!!!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!! THIS PROVES HE'S A SECRET MUSLIM!!!!!!!!!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD WILL PUNISH AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!! TYPICAL GODLESS LIBERAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!! SHOWS NO RESPECT FOR TRADITION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everytime a right winger on your local newspaper or whatever site you visit besides Salon complains, be sure to rub it in thier faces that Obama didn't use a bible and it still counts. I want to see them implode!

The right may use this against him in 2012.

Because they'll never do any sort of real introspection. Their thought process is:

"Hey, a black guy won the elction, maybe if we pick a black guy too, we'll win!"

Actual policy not a factor.

Cheney was always more concerned with "The Agenda" then anything else, including popularity contests. At least Bush had some concern over his reputation. Not that this will restore that.

The sore losers are all out in full force again. Guess they can't just change their diapers and get over it, huh? You let a city drown and sent us into an unnecessry war, you people have no right to complain about anything.

They started a war based on lies and let a city drown. So fuck'em! I hope they spend the next four years crying about this. Then we can tease them mercilessly.

These people started a war based on lies and let a city drown. Obama doesn't owe them squat, they need to keep their mouths shut the next four years.

He's got a pretty good washboard stomach for a man his age!

I didn't realize that Obama would be caving in to the phony issues crowd so quickly. I hope this isn't an indicator of how the rest of his term is going to go.

The guy thought all he had to do once he got in was to overturn "Roe" and "Lawrence", nobody told him he would have to execute actual duties.

giving a coherent speech would have been doing more then Bush did in eight years.

"from marginalized African-Americans to his formal rival and her husband, who'd been branded racists in the primary campaign,"

Really Joan? You were doing so well up until this point. Your never going to accept htat Hillary lost, are you?

Typical con, ignoring the fact that the war in Iraq was based on lies. Chalk it up to Bush hatred all you want, your side lost because of that war.

My bad.

The right wing will never accept him no matter what he does, there's no sense pandering to them. Especially over something this trivial. These people started a war based on lies and let a city drown. They have no right to complain about anything at this point.

"Never admit your wrong, even after it's been proven to you."

If those Midlanders actually think Bush gives a rats ass about them, they are going to be sorely disappointed. He's going to hole himself up inside his new house in Houston and they will never see him again. Expect the ranch in Crawford to go up for sale in the next few months also. Now that his time in Washington is over, he doesn't need to pretend to be a cowboy anymore.

By what definition?

I was talking about Bush you idiot! Someone whose election I blame you unrepentant Nader voters for BTW. Take it from someone who actually lives in the bible belt, you people have nothing to be smug about. You have no clue how life works outside southern California. When you have to worry about losing your job or your nieghbors tearing up your lawn because of they found out who you voted for in the last election, then you get to talk. Until then, why don't you roll up another doob and keep pretending like your making a real difference by voting for loser candidates that don't stand a chance. We grown ups see things as they really are and have our own work cut out for us just dealing with the delusional rednecks who actually think they benefitted from Bush's tax cuts because "Dear Leader" Rush said so.
