Of course Tano won’t admit that Western nations are siding with Honduras, and the US is going alone by not recoginizing the election.

Nor will he mention that the US congress recognized the removal of the president as legit.

But hey, if Obama and Tano want to support someone who claims Jews are microwaving his brain, and side with Castro and their fellow fascists and terrorists, at least their true colours are shining through.

Cram it, Talking Points. What you characterize as “some story about Iranian dissidents and their funding” is a story about the Appeaser-In-Chief’s Administration cutting off all funding for the Iran Human Rights Documentation Center (which for the past five years has conducted the most comprehensive examination of Iran’s abuses of any watchdog group) at precisely the moment Iranian people are being murdered in the streets by the Mullahs’ death squads. Usually, the Left is content to simply IGNORE international human rights abuses committed by their favorite totalitarian maniacs, but in this case, Obama deliberately shut down the organization because it might make things awkward between him and his BFF election thief, Ahmadinejad. It’s grotesque and inexcusable, but of course you find it irrelevant because it illustrates perfectly what a spineless piece of sh*t Obama is. It also punctuates how deluded and moronic you sound when you try to pretend that the Democrats are champions of human rights.

1) The issue was the official murder of gays in Uganda. We all are revolted by that, and Dan chose to highlight how far we have come in the West. I simply asked that we all remember who it was that has done all the fighting for the advancements we have made in the West.
Sean, in his usual childish manner, tried to throw some chaff my way by linking to some story about Iranian dissidents and their funding. As if that had anything to do with the centuries long struggle for gay equality, or anything going on in Uganda. Totally off topic, so of course I ignore it.

2) Dan (willfully??) compares personal approval numbers for Palin with job approval numbers for Obama – leading to a certain conclusion. Whereas a comparison of personal approval numbers for both would lead to a different conclusion. Sorry, but I was right. Helio comes along and does nothing whatsoever to “clarify” the numbers – he doesn’t mention any numbers at all, and he certainly doesnt even try to make the case that my point is wrong (since it obviously isn’t). He just gives some pro-Palin, and anti-Obama spin in general. How can you possibly claim that is a refutation. And of what? And what did he say that in any way warrants a response?

3) Huh? What are you nattering on about here? That is a thread that I did not even participate in? What on earth is your point?

4) According to the coup plotters, it was not a coup. It was just the removal of an elected president and his exile, by the military – for which there is no provision under the Constitution.

Seriously Livewire, time to get a life…

Tano asked us to resolve never to forget who stands for freedom and equality, and who opposes it.

Sean immediately clarified for him who does, and he came back and corrected himself. No, wait…

Tano asks Dan if he’s not understanding the numbers. Heliotrope then clarifies the numbers. Tano retracts his accusations. No, wait…

Jody (to use someone else) accuses Rick Warren of supporting the law in Uganda. Ash corrects him here. Tano immediately appologizes for taking Jody at face value

No, Wait…

Tano claims Honduras has a coup Honduras proves him wrong. Tano corrects himself…

No, wait…

What needs clarification? And what stink bomb? StraightAussie asked a (loaded) question, and I responded that I didn’t know the answer, and I pointed out how the question was loaded in an inaccurate direction, but asked her for clarification.
You are the one who stunk up the place pretending that I am the one who made the original mistake, and going off on other tangents…

I think Obama just told us, in code, that he considers himself a failure.

Agreed. But I think it is more Freudian slip than realization on his part.

The AP reports today that wholesale inflation had a dangerous surge in November, another sign of the Dear Leader’s tanking economy. Oh, wait. They didn’t report that. That would have been too factual. It might have damaged Obama’s self-esteem. Instead, the AP pre-emptively and gloriously reported, “Rise in wholesale inflation unlikely to last”. “The economy is growing steadily”, they assure us. I’m 100% sold and I didn’t even have to ask what their warped definition of “steadily” might be.

As for that B+, who is POTUS fooling? That grade should be an F…

He has assigned himself a B+. In other words, what you see is what you get…

But but but… in Obama’s grade-inflated, “affirmative action”, no-one-ever-fails, a-B-might-harm-my-self-esteem world… a B+ *is* an F.

I think Obama just told us, in code, that he considers himself a failure.

President Obama says he’s going to have a “serious talk” with bankers today to pressure them to provide more credit. Why? Well, because if you’re upside down on your house today and want to take advantage of low rates, your bank is just as likely to say, “eh, no thanks, we’ll just keep making money.”

(Hat tip: Coffee and Markets.)

So, the Bamster is going to squeeze the banks to make stupid loans which can be bundled in derivatives and you can go on a screaming hissy fit over whatever straw man suits you.

The real point is that Barney and Chris and ACORN and Freddie and Fannie pushed the junk derivative market by guaran-damn-teeing the junk mortgages with the power of the US Treasury.

Immediately, small banks grew large making screwball loans which they dumped in a matter of hours. They used the Freddy/Fanny forms and requirements and made their money on the high volume of closing payment that they got from …… Freddie and Fanny. Freddy/Fanny passed the junk onto the big international bundlers by guaran-damn-teeing a per cent or more over the established mortgage rate if the junk failed.

The junk failed.

It was not the fault of derivatives. It was the fault of unfunded liabilities. Like the 34 trillion of unfunded liabilities sitting on the medicare door step.

P.S. Guess what Tano? Barney is right back at trying to get part time workers cleaning the grease trap at Burger King into housing with their name on the deed. It is like letting a person drive away in a new BMW and asking him to come back in a year or so to work out a payment agreement.

“He gave himself a B+? I AM OUTRAGED!! I NEED TO POST ABOUT THIS!!”

Too funny…

The President plays many roles. He serves as Commander-in-Chief, as the First Citizen in representing the people of the United States at home and abroad, as the shepherd of the economy, as the chief legislative force, as the head of his political party, as the keeper of the trust that is the Presidency, as the chief communicator, and as the head of the first family which symbolically recognizes the weight of the times on the people.

He has assigned himself a B+. In other words, what you see is what you get, because he has allowed himself very little room for growth.

If Obama were at all a wise man, he would have deferred the answer to that question to others and to history. Instead, he went on to argue about being a better gift giver when he surveyed the stuff he is given in return.

Didn’t Jeremiah Wright teach him about how it is better to give than to receive? Or is that not part of the new plantation philosophy of the lead them by their noses theology?

Amusingly, or sadly, Fannie Mae now owns a Condo in my complex. Amusing because I couldn’t get a Fannie Mae loan for the condo (thank the Divine!) because they don’t comply with a regulation. Apparently, that no longer stops FM/ Worry about who will be buying it.

Gee, I have no idea. Could you please educate us here? You must be quite the expert on the history of the financial industry, given that mortagage derivatives have been around for decades. Please tell us – who is responsible?

it’s going to be a LONG, LONG, LONG decade for all you repugnants.
