Mr. President is hedging once again. Just in case one of those freed Gitmo inmates DOES participate in an attack against the US, he can say "I told you so."
"Can we guarantee that they're not going to try to participate in another attack? No," Obama said. "But what I can guarantee is that if we don't uphold our Constitution and our values, that over time that will make us less safe. And that will be a recruitment tool for organizations like al-Qaeda."
Yeah, that's great. Tell ya what Barry, if we do get attacked again and it so happens that one of the Gitmo ex-cons is involved, why don't you tell the families of the dead, "Well at least we upheld our Constitution and our values." That should make them feel all warm and fuzzy.

Taxes? We don't pay no stinking taxes!
Good lord, how many people that Obama has selected to work for him are tax cheats? The latest on the list is Nancy Killifer, the proposed "Performance Czar," whatever the hell that means:

Who'll be next? Why is it that liberals think they don't have to pay taxes? Didn't Joe Biden tell us that paying taxes was "patriotic?" I wonder what his tax records look like...

Oops...sorry folks
Now that Tom Daschle has withdrawn his name from the running, Mr. Obama is "admitting" that he made a mistake.
The why the *HELL* didn't you immediately withdraw his nomination as soon as you found out about his tax "blunder?" If I remember correctly, just a day ago Obama "fully supported" Daschle, right? Had Daschle not taken himself out of the running, Obama would have stayed his course and continued to "fully support" him.
You know, this business of just saying what he thinks people want to hear isn't going to last him for much longer. The American people aren't stupid and those who haven't already seen through him are going to very soon.
"Ultimately, I campaigned on changing Washington and bottom-up politics," Obama said.
"And I don't want to send a message to the American people that there are two sets of standards -- one for powerful people and one for ordinary folks who are working every day and paying their taxes."The why the *HELL* didn't you immediately withdraw his nomination as soon as you found out about his tax "blunder?"

An opinion from the Telegraph (UK newspaper)
This is an excellent article written by Gerald Warner in the The Telegraph on January 20, 2009:
http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/gerald_warner/blog/2009/01/20/barack_obama_inauguration_this_emperor_has_no_clothes_it_will_all_end_in_tears
A quote that seems to particularly hit home for me:
"It is questionable whether the present political system can survive the coming crisis. Whatever the solution, teenage swooning sentimentality over a celebrity cult has no part in it. The most powerful nation on earth is confronting its worst economic crisis under the leadership of its most extremely liberal politician, who has virtually no experience of federal politics. That is not an opportunity but a catastrophe."
"Teenage swooning sentimentality" -- how very well put. This perfectly describes the Obama-mania that has, for some unknown reason, gripped many in this country over the past 6 months or so. Unfortunately reality is now setting in and these people are having to admit to themselves that this messiah, their harbinger of hope is, in actuality, the emperor without clothes. Their emperor is coming with a $1 trillion price tag. And he hasn't even been in office a month...

Short honeymoon indeed
Here is the first evidence of that short honeymoon I was talking about a couple of weeks ago.
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/first100days/2009/02/03/americans-reject-want-major-changes-stimulus-poll-finds/
This is Mr. Obama's first major policy move of his presidency, and his "solution" to the most severe crisis facing this country right now and the majority of Americans aren't happy with the direction he is taking.

And it continues...
Again, no surprise here:
"Asked if he could assure the troops "that a substantial number of them will be home" a year from now, the president answered "yes.""
This is just what the terrorist organizations in the middle east have been waiting for. We pull out our troops, they resume training the next batch of crazies, they come over here and attack us again. I sure hope I'm wrong.
