Ms. Sotomayor's appointment is also another first in that no previous candidate for SCOTUS has had so many decisions reversed by the high court. In a sane world a reversal rate of sixty percent would have completely removed her from consideration for anything beyond the appeals court Clinton nominated her for.
I disapprove of her nomination but look forward to watching what an embarrassment she will prove to be.

The 'numbers' don't reflect jobs created. They reflect the sad fact that a few hundred thousand unemployed Americans have stopped searching for work.
How this administration can talk about 'a recovery' only days after this report from August 5th staggers the imagination:
"NEW YORK (Reuters) – The percentage of U.S. homeowners who owe more than their house is worth will nearly double to 48 percent in 2011 from 26 percent at the end of March, portending another blow to the housing market, Deutsche Bank said on Wednesday."

Hworta269's post is an excellent refutation of zurcronium's shrill talking points. Unlike the rest of us here, it seems hworta269 has actually lived in Korea.
It always amuses me the way so many America Leftists, like this zurcronium fellow, seem to believe that every move made by nations half way around the globe can only be a reaction which is, mysteriously enough, in perfect accord with his personal feelings about whichever American president he chooses to link the situation to.

Strange post above. What does former president Bush have to do with a 'pep talk' by the current president?

I took the trouble to read previous posts (on similar stories) made by some of the contributors here at the top of the thread.It is pretty nauseating to see how much repetition, nasty snark and deep cynicism is evident in the posts of some here.
Do they realize, do they understand that they give the very clear impression that they WAIT for stories like this?
I'd grant some of them the benefit of the doubt but I notice that the outrage about gun ownership only appears when shootings occur in the United States.
Of course, some blame should go to the media feeds which this site (and most) subscribe to. Stories about American citizens exercising their 2nd Amendment rights and successfully defending themselves and their families against armed criminals don't draw the same numbers of eyeballs, not to mention frustrated, envious non-Americans.

The state-run media (in America, not North Korea) can't get enough of this supposed 'rescue' of two misguided idealists working for Clinton's former VP.
For amusement I like to imagine what the tone and reaction would be if two women working for former VP Cheney were taken by the North Koreans and released only after former president Bush had traveled to Pyongyang, groveled before Dear Leader Kimmie,and paid a ransom.

Crime like this was almost unthinkable as recently as twenty years ago. Somalis conspiring with Lebanese to murder Australian soldiers in Melbourne.
Bring back treason and sedition laws, apply the maximum penalty in this case, and deport the families of the convicted.

If Obama-care is so grand why is it that those in the Congress who wrote the bill included provisions (section 3116) which will grant them (and the unions, naturally) exemption from a system of socialised medicine they want imposed on the rest of the country?

The former Alaska governor is now so 'irrelevant' that her opponents felt it necessary to attack her in yet another MoveOnOrg video.
Another lowlight first for the rabid Left in America, going after a private citizen.
That's how irrelevant she is.
She is really,really irrelevant.
