I too am confused by the whole rabbi / rabbit thing.

I'll say what I said yesterday: At least he didn't sign a free-trade agreement with Mexico, gut welfare, and deregulate the telecommunications and financial industries so there'd be huge busts in both years down the road.

And I'm going to add that even after doing those things, Clinton was still x10 better than any Republican president for the last half-century.

As far as the political sense of doing this tax-cut extension, like the health care bill, the polling is hardly consistent on this: <a href="http://www.politifact.com/t..." target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statement...">http://www.politifact.com/t....

Morgan Freeman played POTUS in a movie once, and did a pretty damn good job what with the killer asteroid and all. The right-wing would hate him too, because he's known to wear an earring. Y'all think I'm joking, don't you.

And his home state is Miss Ippy. Wouldn't the democrats like to see that state go blue?

The thing is that I don't think the liberal-hippie wing of the Democratic party that is mad enough at Obama to want to primary him is as large or rabid as the Tea Party/even-batshittier-than-usual wing of the Republican party, who have shown they'll primary anyone too "RINO," to actually get anywhere. The Democratic coalition is too diverse, much more so than the Republican one. Plus, you know, we're still two years away from the election and stuff changes and people are just ticked. And who, exactly, is this magical candidate who will come at him, win, and then win the election? Dennis Kucinich? Howard Dean? Please.

Also, "Caring Society"?!? I agree with the whole thing, and it still makes me want to barf.

"Free Press" must be shorthand for "Freely Speculating Press".

Please for the love of God do not put those two last words together, even though I think you're right about the full sentence.

I don't quite get the "why can't Barry call the conservatives names" thing, because yesterday he basically called them terrorists without quite saying it. The worst he said about liberals was they were "sanctimonious" and "idealists." Well get my smelling salts! Such language! Worse than calling your opponents, at best, crazed gunmen who are trying to kill the American people!
