What? No commentary on President Obama's Q&A with the Republican Caucus last week? It's amazing how fast that teleprompter can think on it's feet.

[The reference to bi-partisanship in my commentary can be summed up thusly: The GOP senators would have had their retreat regardless and the Bolshevic Plotter would have been flying somewhere else on Air Force One -- totally ignoring them as he has since Day One -- if he wasn't on the ropes and about to go down for the count. -ED]
Where did you come from on a quiet Sunday? Something must have really set you off because I have never seen the kind of crème de la crème from you like today. Crap, Obama is a pathological liar and that means he believes his own lies and 'eddobloggo' says all there is to say about this, period.

How can we as Americans
ever hope for bipartisanship if we continue to
vilify one another in such contrived manners as
this blog comparing the president to an
automobile.
President is the elected leader of our country,
with Congress he is pledged to govern our
country. Our country has good people on both
political spectrums and our only hope is working
together.
What is being done in the name of politics is
more harmful anything a terrorist could do.
Claims of socialism or communism are patently
absurd. We have a mixed economy with government
programs and private enterprise.
Republicans and Democrats love our country, but
we make toxic claims about the other party. This
is not what the founding fathers had in mind!
We need to respect and communicate with one
another.
Absolutism has no middle ground and fosters no
commonality, the citizens, the business
interests, and the environment need to
considered.
A balance must be reached for sustainable
growth, wise use of are resources, health,
education, and jobs that we need and the world
needs.
21st century solutions for 21st century problems
based on timeless values. If we cannot allow a
person to change directions or alter courses,
then we better be 100% correct when we step off,
because that is a only path.
But an auto has an accelerator, brake, steering,
shocks, lights, signals, GPS and On-Star
capabilities, why can't a leaders, a government,
a country have similar capabilities to monitor
and adjust our course. Especially during an
emergency period or when unintended consequences
keep popping up. This is the hope and change
that we must as Americans need to embrace.

his hand out to Republican lawmakers. They
constantly bit his extended hand.

before daybreak -- you don't need to read all
1100 pages -- so an emergency doesn't turn into
a catastrophe.." I guess that could be
interpreted as extending a hand. -ED]
Eddo, you are good for
some laughs. When you get up in the mornings,
and it is raining, do you blame Obama for that?
When you sit a long time at a red light, does
The President get the blame for that? No one man
can be blamed for everything. Do you think you
will still be spewing out the hate 7 years from
now, because there is 7 years left in the Obama
administration!!! Like it or not.

[I
have no animosity towards you nockworst, so I'll
simply ask you to provide an example in today's
rant in which I "blamed" Obama for anything. I
merely commented on two juxtaposed current
events but apparently you have found no
inaccuracy therein to argue over so you'll just
try to tweak me -- which, of course does not
work. Nonetheless, in 7 years I'll still
be right about the Bolshevic Plotter and you'll
still be calling him Mr. President ...even
though he will have already been gone for 4
years. -ED]

great blog! Right on the money!

So it was a Toyota that
Obama used to run over the witless GOP in
Baltimore. What a sorry bunch of GOPS that was.
No plans, Mr. President, but here is a little
folder of ideas. The GOP looked like a bunch of
litle boys and girls. I thought you guys said he
couldn't talk without a teleprompter-WRONG!!

[You lefties can
argue 'til you're blue in the face about the
Bolshevic Plotter's oratorical skills. Point is,
he ignored the GOP for a full year and now --
out of desperation -- he wants to
be seen with them. What anyone said in Baltimore
will soon be forgotten. The fact that he HAD
to meet with the opposition is what you can't
admit. -ED]
Isn't it amazing
Toyota...quality problems. April 250,000 brake
problems. Then August 600,000 Fire in windows.
Now in Jan. 2010 five million accelerator
hang-ups and people are dying from wrecks. This
started in 2004 with the Prius. Now they have 11
models they can't build because of faulty parts.
I remember the buyers of Japanese cars bragging
they purchased them because of the quality. They
kicked the American Automobile to the point they
had to go bankrupt. I have driven a lot of Gm
vehicles and don't ever remember them having any
where close to this tragedy happen. Why did it
take 16 years to report their quality problems.
Sounds lide they sold the American buyers a lot
of bull crap. If you are driving one of
the Five million plus just park them and walk.
You ruined the American automobile industry so
just suffer. Maybe you should just trade it for
a new Ford, Chevrolet or Dodge.

Good piece - I suspect
the lead up to November will be much like it was
in 2009. The Dems will morph to save their
skins.

If Obama would
have truly listened instead of lecturing, he
might have made some progress. He just seems to
want to go through process to get some press. No
progress, just the same old talk and no positive
actions.

Exactly how
vulnerable are we? How can you tell?
By this time in George W. Bush's tenure, ~3,000
US civilians were dead in a large and dramatic
terrorist attack on 9/11/01 and Osama bin Laden
had evaded US forces at Tora Bora. Intelligence
was being "sexed up" and policy "fixed about the
policy" in order to mislead the US into war with
Iraq.
The safest solution, although expensive, would
be to detain the world's ~1.5 billion Muslims at
Guantanamo, torture some, and murder a few.
I am willing to suspend the Constitution and
surrender any and all civil liberties, in order
to take all of the risk out of life, and keep
the dreaded terrorists from murdering me in my
bed.
Thanks.

Go nuclear energy and
Drill here, Drill now, and burn baby burn that
coal. We have wasted years upon years and it
takes at a minimum of 2 years to do an
environmental impact study that the this
administration has no motivation to support via
the hardliners in the EPA. Anyone that thinks we
can go full grown green without tapping our own
natural oil resources and technical advantages
is delusional. We might actually create a few
jobs out of the process till perpetual motion or
the wind fairy takes over.

Glad someone is
telling the truth. Obama and his green vehicles
are just pie in the sky and someone should be
suing Obama if it was possible for lying to them
and telling them the new hybrids are safe cars.
Anyone with half a brain knows that a tin can
will not hold up when it comes to an American
built gas guzzling pickup truck. People should
have learned the lesson from Yugo's and other
cheap made cars. Obama will cause more people to
die when he lied and said this is our future of
cars. Sell or thrown away those hybrid tin cans
and get back in your gas guzzler and then vote
to get rid of they most corrupt President this
country has seen.
