“or his greedy cashing in on the influence of a former president to become a mega millionaire.

Bill's international philanthropic work provides a tax-deductale cover for shady international business dealings. If "journaists" like Carol Felsenthal were honest and objective, they would REPORT on it, instead of $elling Clinton $pin.”

“Any time you tackle big issues, there's dissent and conflict and poll numbers go down, everyone's numbers.

Notice how he doesn't mention the fact that GOP numbers have not risen in concert with falling Obama / Dems / Health Care numbers? That's because GOP numbers are in the tank, residing with a lunatic fringe that would support them no matter what.

The only thing Dems have to fear is passing faux reform. As long as its real and the people can see it, they will win huge on this.”

“The name of the book will be "Coruption, The Failed Presidency of Obama".”

“Tonight Rachel Maddow came close to the truth while interviewing Matt Taibbi. The intent of this administration was never to deliver any real reform, and has been posturing at bipartisanship to dumb down the bill to no real reform, and have the Republicans seem the villains to its base, while seeming the heroes to the Republican base. Everybody wins. The Dem base has a villain it can blame, the Repubs seem like heroes to their base, and the insurance industry gets what it was guaranteed behind closed doors, no real reform.
We are being played by Obama and his crew, folks. Now is the time to let the Dems know that the Progressives and citizens that care about this nation will sink them if they don't start delivering.
Watch and see what happens with other important issues as well. Watch for the same ruse of "bipartisanship" used to undermine the mandate Obama was given last November.”

“Stewart did the polls tonight on the daily show, and speaking of polls, how do we put Frank Luntz out of a job?”

“2010 is the GOPs to lose.”

“Oh good grief, he's not "bashing the president", he's holding his feet to the fire. Which is a journalists job. Too bad more journalists don't have cajones like Cenk. And don't you dare take me for a republican. I voted for Obama and I stand by that vote. I just wish, like many others, that he and the democrats would grow a freaking spine already and get in the fight instead of bending over backwards to appease a bunch of petulant, whiny sore loser republicans.”

“Sure, polls are absolute nonsense. But how much are our democratic leaders being paid to lie down and let the republicans eat us? How much were our lives worth?”

“I noted the Rasmussen poll too. Notoriously right wing so it's not a real barometer.

But I think you misread Cenk. I don't think he wrote this to bash Obama. I think he's warning him. I think he's sounding a siren.”

“Unless, like me, they prefer their porn on thir large TV screens, not on their small computer screens.”

“OMG, 10,000 recruited just last month. Freaks.”

“Good morning -- you can have him. He knew he wouldn't get re-elected. I am guessing you Dems are smarter than that in PA, or am I wrong?”

“Yes, they are stupid. But just as Americans of necessity have come to accept the need for social welfare programs such as medicare, social security, unemployment, health care for children, public education and aid for the handicapped, they will also come to accept national healthcare, limits upon carbon emissions and nationally funded higher education. That is why the sooner we get these things, the better it will be.”

“It will. It always does. It did the GOP in, as it had done a previous generation of Democrats in.

Stepping back from my partisan instincts for a second, wasn't this the whole point of the Founder's efforts to prevent tyranny by setting up a form of government in which different branches checked the power of the other two, and that if all three were corrupted, there were mechanisms to let the people change things through the ballot box?

The corruption part happened with the GOP in charge, and the river of corrupt cash that fuels our lobbyiest form of government. And rigged voting machines almost took the voters out of the picture.

It was a near thing. I'm happy the Democrats won, and that we've elected, with much help from Independents, it should be noted, and not as much from the far Left wing of the party-- a man as president who has the character and smarts to steer things back to a vision that the Founders would have recognized.

It's how it's supposed to work, whichever party is in temporary control.”

“My, aren't we charitable today. ASU wishes it were a third-rate school.”
