Like Martin Luther King's niece has pointed out the only blacks in America judged by "the content of their character" are the ones who dare to leave the plantation the Democrats moved them on to.
Ironic.

Socialists' worst showing since WW2. So much for that long-awaited repudiation of capitalism some fantasized was in the bag.

Arar was identified by one of his fellow Canadians, also Moslem, as an AQ member. Besides, Syria doesn't torture. It's just a harmless little country trying to protect itself from uncompromising Zionist hegemony. Isn't that the usual refrain?

Obama has never faced such resistance to his agenda. At this rate he will have to have Bill Ayers ghostwrite another biography, and quick.

Prosecuting the previous administration. We are officially a banana republic, thanks to Obama. Our racist AG Eric Holder refusues to prosecute club-wielding Black Panthers caught on camera intimidating voters at a polling station last November but has no qualms about scoring cheap points with the wingnut far Left base. Disgusting. Makes me ashamed to have ever voted Democrat.

"capitalism is the enemy of democracy."
I chuckle every time I read that.

“We all asked ourselves, ‘Does he know what he’s doing, or is he just someone who knows how to read well?’”
Well said. I'm not surprised this guy has lasted longer - waaaaaaaay longer - than any post war premier the mercurial Italian electorate has had to decide upon.
Unlike the affirmative action president we have in America, who advanced through the system because of the color of his skin, ol' Silvio got where he did in part because of the thickness of his skin. He could teach Obama a thing or two.

-- "IF there is one regime on earth that should not have nuclear weapons, it is Israel."
Cos it's not like most of the scientists on the Manhattan Project,which saved countless lives, were Jewish or anything, is it?

I have to ask - are you in Japan? If you actually believe that capitalism is the enemy of democracy do you imagine yourself, with your broken Japanese, converting the natives to your misguided way of thinking?

Victor Davis Hanson (at http://www.victorhanson.com/articles/hanson092309.html) likes to say Obama thinks America is one huge university campus which he presides over as president. WH "spokesperson" Robert Gibbs even characterizes domestic opponents as folks who like starting "Animal House food fights..."
Looks as though Obama is going to put Iran on double secret probation.

Care to defend such a completely absurd statement?
How, exactly, does 'income inequality' or the existence of great wealth amid relative poverty somehow prove or even indicate that democracy has failed when government, in instituting measures like affirmative action or 'health care for all' - which leftists naively believe will ameliorate 'inequality' - relies ultimately on force or an implied threat of the same to carry out such misguided programs?
You guys just never get it...

Time for a change? I think not. The word "change" has lost the silly magic it was invested with last year at this time.
Merkel will win.
