You left out the key word

It's not white men who are being oppressed, it's STUPID white men who are being oppressed. And the oppression is not nearly oppressive enough!

Somebody

Uh, well Mr. I don't wanna run a car company, somebody better oversee our effing money!! If you didn't want to buy GM then why the hell did you??? If someone doesn't step up and kick some executive ass they'll just rob us blind AGAIN!!! Geeze, Obama, you're really an asshole, aren't you? Just pour other people's money into a toilet and watch it get flushed while saying over and over again 'I didn't want to own a toilet'. Pathetic.

Original article: Incorporate this!

Our Unitary Executive

Obama has already said the the government(we, the people(snicker)), will not have any input into the business of running a car company. Ownership without control, is this a great country, or what???

To Busy Entraping

The FBI is just too busy entraping Muslims in NYC to bother with death threats to American citizens. They missed 9/11, they missed this, what else will they miss? Their entire organization is a disgrace to this country and to the millions of men and women who have died to protect us and our way of life. Obviously the enforcement of law is not something at which they do not excel.

Got News For Ya

A judge in the USA can lock up anyone for anything at anytime. As a matter of fact, Our Unitary Executive can lock up anyone for anything at anytime for any LENGTH of time. Is this a great country or what??

Dems Cave

It's what they do. They will cave on this also. Dems would pass anything if it involved 'national security'. Oh, and Glenn, Obama is not our president. He is The Unitary Executive blessed be His name. Either Obama is trying to kick Dems in the butt to get them to recongnize their role in this democracy or he is truly as odious as Bush/Cheney ever was.

Lack of honor

A person who breaks promises willfully and, in the case of gay rights, gleefully, has no honor. Barak Obama is such a man. I will be supporting a primary challenger to him in 2012. The suffering people of this country deserve so much better that this lying, torturing, treasonous SOS.

We are under terrorist attack right now

from our own government. Congress has ceded it's power to the Unitary Executive. We actually have more rights and protections in France than we do here at home. Our 'president' is a tyrant, congress is moot, and the courts side 99% of the time with the government. And there is absolutely nothing we can do about it. Speaking of France, I hear their government is afraid of the people. I wonder why?

Kill Them

In order for these secrecy theories to be killed, they must be testing in court. Obama cannot kill them himself, a court has to. I'm hoping what Obama is doing is killing these legal arguments by the only sure way available: the Supreme Court. Remember, he could have released the photos but the power to supress them would still be there. Now, when the court rules that he has to release them, no other president will have president to supress information of this type. At least that's what I hope he's doing. If not, the next 8 years is going to be a whole lot worse than the previous 8.

Actors

The corporations behind the GOP hire actors to play the parts of politicians. Reagan is their patron saint. Why do you think they had such high hopes for Grandpa Fred? Actor! Palin is a pretty face with an empty brain. Just the type of person the corporate masters love. Easily manipulated, adored by fools, not likely to deviate from her script. I can't wait for the 2012s. I'd love to see Sister Sarah duke it out with Newty Newt Newt. Although the vacuum created by the lack of awareness in that room could develop a black hole and swallow us all!!

Clinton

Clinton gave us NAFTA, Graham-Bliley-Whatever, and enabled total media consolidation. In my view, Clinton did as much or more that the idiot W to bring poverty and pain to much of the planet. So now the Republican party controls the media. Big surprise. We might have a chance to do something about it but the Republican party also contols Barak Obama. The only change we'll see is a change of location once all our homes get forclosed on. Oh, and the portrayal of Republicans as tough guys by their own media is just what we expected. What we didn't expect was the total capitulation of Dems in congress to the minority party representing 20% of the country. Ah, well, it was a great country while it lasted.

89??

Not competent to stand trial. Anyway, everyone knows that white people cannot ever be classified as terrorists. I mean, they're white! Geeze.

8 More Years

I don't know if I can take another all-powerful Unitary Executive and his pet Congress, and his distain for the will of the people for another 8 years. He has already sworn allegiance to Wall Street, Big Pharma, and the Insurance lobby. He is continuing and escalating Bush's wars and his flippant attitude toward human rights is horrifying. We need a Progressive Party. The Dems have been bought by the Republicans. I am feeling more hopeless than when Bush was King. Now I know that no one will help us fix this country. Now I know that whatever is said in a campaign is a lie. Now I know there is no hope.

Gay Money

Obama don't need your gay money any more. He got CORPORATE money now. And the corporates, they play for keeps. You better believe they'll get their tax breaks and subsidies. Or he'll wake up with a dogs head in his bed. Gays been played. As have we all.
