More chameleon pandering. Flag pins and pledges aside, being a hard-left Marxist is what makes his patriotism doubtful.

Um, rjd_jr, you're not actually suggesting that Iraq never had corruption in its government prior to the war, are you?

It's like trying to purge New Orleans or Chicago of corruption in one generation. Nope. It takes work and patience.

Sounds like both Gilbert and Simpson should be in trouble with the IRS.

And what's with Simpson's lawyers caring if an O.J. confession gets out? It's not like he can be re-tried.

user1684:

Obama isn't any more "unproven" than Bush or Clinton were when they were both elected.

A one-term Senator with no executive experience whatsoever? Riiiiight. Maybe his experience is in skipping votes. He's missed almost twice as many senate votes in his three years as Hillary has in her…

SushiSake3:

Basically, McCain was a pretty bad pilot whose incompetence led to the destruction of a handful of planes.

So, no guesses on which model it used to be? I'm thinking it might have been an F355.

Any other guesses?

PS: I have nothing against anybody who can buy such cars. They keep the mechanics who work on them (and their families) well fed!

Say what you will, Obama is the right man for these times. If he's willing to open a dialogue with the Muslim world perhaps that will be the best for the Western world. The current strategy of trying to kill them all is not a good one. …

This will make a great training (groan) device. Not a thrilling game though, I suspect.

I'm still waiting for a "Shibuya pedestrian traffic" download for Flight SimX. ;)

Everton2, niether does Obama. Oh, he says he does, but even his own advisors say it's nothing more than a campaign promise with no real plan behind it, and would be impossible to keep.

tele, you're exactly right. Unfortunately, Ralph Nader and the NHTSA behemoth that was creadted on his behalf will never allow them. We've got to be able to hit each other without dropping our mobile phones, cigarettes, or lattes.
