Strawman; didn't answer the question

The opposite of the so-called "Star Wars" missile defense system is not "throw up your hands and do nothing." Is this strawman argument the best that you can do? I was truly hoping for more.

And as others have pointed out, you didn't address evolution. An obvious cowpie left in the middle of the room, not dealt with.

I too vote for the anonymity to be dumped.

Where are Reid and Pelosi?

They were in on the meetings, they knew about it, they authorized it.

It's time for the left to stop protecting these torture-enablers and expose them for who they are, and get them out of office. They are no friends of real Democrats or liberals.

Storms? Really?

A transatlantic flight like this, well into its flight, would be flying at ~37000 feet, right? Isn't this way above storm cloud level? Maybe someone with more meteorologic skills could help me out here.

Naive

The basic rationale for President Obama's campaign last year was that he would be, in almost every way, the exact opposite of his predecessor.

If you believe that, you've really dunk a few gallons of the Kool-Aid. I am incredibly thankful it's Obama in the Oval and not Angry McCrustyguy, but for the Obama sycophants who think he's going to "change Washington" or something like, that: welcome to reality. He's now part of The System, and The System don't turn on a dime. Or even a quarter.

West Wing Deja Vu?

Feels a little like Jed Bartlett and his supposedly accidental criticism of another politician when the camera was rolling. This was not accidental - Obama knew what was happening. Very shrewd politically.

+1 for aeschylus

Does the President say he worked *so* hard to get his title when one of his generals calls him Sir? Pretty bitchy if you ask me.
