The real issue is what is Obama's description of himself.\? If some Government agency or other organization says you must be X percent of Y to claim yourself as being Y does that invalidate the individuals claim? I can tell you from personal experience that as someone who is 1/8th of an ethnic group I have been able to take advantage of a couple of things exclusive to that group. No one can tell me that I can not claim myself as part of that group even if I don't look it. Further, I am the adoptive parent of a bi-racial child. It has been an enlightening expreience raising her. Her birth mother is caucasian, her birth father is black. So far she hasn't had any social adjustment issues; she seems to get along well with all. If the time ever comes for her to make a declaration as to what she is, she will be free to claim whatever it is she wants. Her being half of anything won't mean anything.

If you ever see a skinhead wearing a pair of Levi Jeans, it may be appropriate to point out that Levi Strauss was a Jewish Immigrant to the U.S. It may be appropriate to also note that appears that the Jew has the Nazi by the balls.

RJD says he's way better than Ozzie. Ozzie's a way better showman. Dio's got a better voice.

I believe that the notion of pulling the plug on Iraq is a pipe dream. Though I don't think the notion of a plan to withdraw at the right time (and not when our oil supply is assured) is the definition of pulling the plug. We're there and we have to figure out a way to move on. Moving towards something is progress. I don't believe we've had a good definition of exit criteria (one that stipulated autonomous rule for the Iraqis) nor had we really appeared to be working towards one.

Yes, it does. It says if you are positioned 10 feet left of center, 2 inches right of center is a huge leap. Especially if you consider your 10 feet left of center to be the true center.

If you are positioned 10 feet to the right of center, 2 inches left of center is a huge leap. Especially if you consider your 10 feet right of center to be the true center. What I'm most hopeful of is a move back towards a united nation and less of the split thats been so prevalent that last few years.

Someone asked him about how he was going to choose the new dog. He said something to the effect of "I'm not going to do a Nancy Reagan and have a seance" or something of that ilk. Two things come to mind 1) At least he could fucking articulate the word "Seance". 2) Please explain how that was disrespectful. Would it give you a warm and fuzzy if he orchestrated the occupation of a middle east country? Come here fairwever, wet me give you some hugs!! :kisss:

Ozzie Guillen for Secretary of State!!!!

It's a small wonder that engineers can ever get in the mood to reproduce.

I think that disposable outsider was a big part of the political catastrophe.

Funny, I thought Ann Coulter was trying to put her cock up Jon Stewart's ass while Stephen Colbert watched.

I gotta go with Bug on this. Just because Shapiro and Coulter write it does not make it the honest to God truth. It is merely an opinion and they are welcome to it. They were never fans of McCain and as I've stated before I'm sure that McCain sold his independent soul to the GOP for the nomination. My opinion is that these articles and listening to Sean Hannity last night are nothing more than rhetoric from the right wing trying to minimize the accomplishment made by Barack Obama and the Democratic Party. Hell, the closest thing to the truth for me is that the Republicans have so utterly fucked up in the last eight years almost anyone other than a Republican could have won the WHite House and all of those seats this time around. Will the Obama administration be perfect? Hell no. Will I voice my opinion when they do something that I don't agree with? Hell yes. Do I expect that they will undo everything done wrong? No. Do I think that the same fundamental policies of the last eight years would have got us out of where we are now? No. Do I think a McCain/Palin Administration would have been any different than the Bush/Cheney administration? Hell no. So we've got what we've got. Lets work to make it work until its apparent it won't and then work harder at it.

Is being Peter Puget for a day anything like having Chlamydia?

The real question Peter; Which Obama will you see?

:lmao:

My guess is that the mainstream Republican party will distance themselves from Palin. I think that Hilary Clinton proved that polarizing figures are out of vogue. It'll be a slow process as to not anger the base that she so energized with her star power, but I suspect that there will be a re-direction of the party in the next two years.

Usually the DoD and State Department are free to spend their appropriations as they see fit. FWIW, Bush signed the latest Defense Appropriations bill with a caveat that it be concurred by the next president.

Thats not a fat fuck, that's fat bastard with another fat bastards head photoshopped on it!

I'll be damned. I figured this would drag into next week.

Maybe we spend our money like the Canadian Government does [video:youtube]

this one is a looooong way from over.

ABC Just called it for Obama.
