  • New Acronym - UMV - Useless Manufactured Vitriol

    The manufactired vitriol over MLK and Hillary is unexplainable excpet as a symptom of UMV. People who can actually believe that Hillary stated MLK was not the catalyst leading to the Civil Rights act are terminally insane, or just plain dishonest. And do people really think Reagan would have signed the act, or the dunderhead in chief currently in the White house would have?

    The Iraq ammendment was a sound ammendment if we had a sound president in the White House instead of a puerile idiot. It gave an enormous amount of leverage to a president to get concessions from Sadam, such as the inspectors on the ground. I fault everyone who signed that ammendement, not for signing a bad ammendment, but for not recognizing the sitting president for what he was - a complete and arrogant fool, bent on war. For me, that Obama does not frame his opinion on the Iraq vote in this light is a demerit for him. That Hillary has not communicated her fault in not properly evaluating Bushes intentions before signing the bill is a demerit for her.

    When I read Bills remarks I never in a second thought Bill was referring to black person running for president as being fairy tale. I immediately took it as a description of a politician spinning his record for political advantage. More UMV.

    Obama supporters I hope do recognize that Obama is a politicion? Right?
