“Wow..you certainly can cry foul now that YOUR country was led into this mess by what will be measured as the worst president in the history of America and for which Mr. Obama has to solve.

It's just typical neo-con war hungry bull that this is Mr. Obama's war. It's Cheney's war, it's Rumsfeld's war, it's Wolfotwit's war...The only reason why it would not be Bush's war is he hasn't a brain to start one without getting his Daddy's (Cheney) permission.

This is also Bush's economy. Two large problems given Mr. Obama to fix. And yes! Bush and Cheney do not deserve to be called Mr. They deserve to be called war criminals on the lam.”

“When Obama bought the Gates-McChrystal plan, he bought the war as well. Yes, it is Obama's War - change we don't want to believe in but we get it anyway - Obama was a closet neo-con all along - he's fooled us all.”

“I still feel, and very strongly, that FAUX news and all current GOP congress, who hasn't one black in their ranks, are doing everything in their power to thwart any program of Mr. Obama so that failure succeeds. They are on record as wanting just that.

I also feel that Rush, Beck, O'Reilly, Palin will be responsible for the violence spreading across America against minorities,Gay/Les, Hispanic, immigrants...hate crimes are up 9%..guns sales are through the roof because whitie feels threatened and I say by what? In 10-20 short years this country will see Whites as minorities overtaken by populations of Hispanic/Asian. And so what? The melting pot of America has changed and will change but we will still be that great country where anyone with a dream can work hard and achieve success.”

“Driving the "feminazis" wild with jealousy makes her a saint? You need to invest some time to rehab your thought process about what constitutes sainthood.

Ms. Palin is a media hog. She is fully aware that anything she says, does, or plans to do sells books. She is also acquiring a reputation as Quitter in Chief having quit the Governorship of her state as well as bailing out of a book signing leaving about a 100 people stranded waiting for a promised appearance. As others have stated...Palin quitting this run left one less turkey participating.

If this is all the right wing ultra conservatives have to offer in the way of a legitimate leader for their party...I see no impediment in a continuation of Democratic control of congress. It took Bush (43) 8 years to destroy America in many areas....it will take Obama much more than 10 months to put a fix into place to undo the damage which almost brought this great country to it's knees.”

Both Palin and Levi have much in common. They both propose to make their 15 minutes as profitable as possible in the only ways they can.

“Dim wit is just too too kind of an adjective. She alone is responsible for race baiting with Rev Wright, dividing America with Palling around with Terrorists (Ayers), the concept of death panels regarding health care..ethics violations in her home state regarding troopergate...She is a dangerous person for her mouth spews out more vomit which turns radicals on and she will ultimately be responsible for inciting riots sooner or later. She is also in league with the likes of FAUX News and another radical who will also be responsible for American deaths and that is Beck. The two of them together make McCarthyism and red baiting tame by comparison.

Dim wits are people who think Palin has some sort of future in politics....the only think Palin cares about is money, star power, and to anchor some news show for some network.”

“What the GOP, regressives, birthers, fans of Beck and Rush have ensured for the 80% of Americans who think....

Never has a party demonstrated so much frustration and animosity toward an election where a black man...OMG, gasp..was the best man who won. The GOP is still divided, demoralized, depressed, denied, desperate, defeated, and most of all despicable for all of their outbursts and fabricated victimization of any endeavor Obama involved in. This is not racism on their part...this is just hatred that a minority candidate was better prepared to win and eventually will demonstrate a rare glimpse of leadership that this country has been lacking for 8 long years.

Get used to it Whitie Kristol for in a short decade the white man will be minority to hispanic/asian. What that means is anyone named Lopez has a great future in America. That means George and JLo have a better chance at political office then ANY Cheney and certainly ANY Palin or ANY Bush.”

“It is not good enough to apologize to Mr. Obama for bad behavior. Mr. Wilson owes his peer group as well as the American people an apology. The resolution must pass to send a strong message to any congressperson that America will not tolerate its POTUS from being insulted at all while speaking on the floor.

As Mr. Wilson is in the reserves he should also face court martial with appropriate comments made to his military record.

The behavior of the GOP since Mr. Obama was elected has been at best reprehensible.”

rockyroad replied on Sep 15, 2009 at 17:40:41

“Good point collprof,

This guy is military, he publicly disgraced the President of the United States, don't think that's allowed of our military. Can retired military be court martialed? Can Congressmen be put on probation. . . deprived of their right to participate? If so, the citizens of South Carolina might be deprived of representation . . . which, all things considered, South Carolina and its politicians this year, might not be such a bad thing.

Wilson's rant not only disgraces the Congress, it disgraces America in the eyes of the world. No elected official is entitled to go rogue and diminish the credibility of a popularly elected President in international diplomacy. Our President must have every attribute of credibility to operate effectively on the world stage. This yo-yo, Confederate racist must not go unanswered, if not unpunished. He does not represent me and his antics hurt the country. He belongs on a tobacco plantation in the 19th Century, if anywhere. Oh yeah, Abe Lincoln, the Civil War and all that . . . he wants to revisit. Health care is only pretext for the underlying anger.”

“This is an historic occasion. It is the first time in our history someone actually spoke from the floor while a President was speaking whether it was a good or bad comment.

It is clear the American people find Mr. Wilson's behavior truly reprehensible and that as a gentleman from congress he should apologize on the floor. His refusal is indicative of the GOP who still can't believe that a black man was elected.

I side with the black caucus...if the President was white this would not have happened. I fear for Mr. Obama and the rhetoric since he was elected. Never have I seen more crazy people come out of the woods such as what we've witnessed with the meetings in August and this sham march in Washington DC.

Bush actually lied to us about Iraq costing thousands of young Americans their lives as well as tens of thousands of Iraqi lives and yet no one from the floor called him a liar although he was and is. He was booed..yes! So were other Presidents but never the words I heard.”

“This has more to do with Wilson's breaking the House Rules of decorum. He has to be admonished. He broke the rules. If he is not admonished, then this will be a common occurrence.”

When 40% of an economy is based on one industry..Finance and Banking..we are headed for bankruptcy.
