The Dems are being hornswaggled, and they don't know it wrote on September 03, 2009 12:55 AM: Oh, I don't think the Democrats are still upset because they are just now realizing they've elected Bush to a third term, and that whole Hopey, Changey thing was just a pipe dream.

I think the D.C. Democrats have seen a power shift, in Obama's power base, and the Dems are bit players.

The administration's agenda is wrapped up in the Czars and special advisers, and the direction their moving in the environment, energy, health care and education. And especially the resources they are developing to push their message, like, the NEA and schools.

I mean really, whose work do you think Obama really supports and listens to on policy... it's not Reid, Pelosi, and certainly not Clinton, they're just tools.

Tom wrote on September 02, 2009 11:35 PM: You seem confused...Bush had "cabinet members" and Obama has "czars" of which he didn't mention one single time during his campaign. BIG difference there. Congress has oversight on what Cabinet members do, and obviously went along with everything Bush did....including the Democrats. Czars, on the other hand, have no congressional oversight and answer ONLY to Obama. Now he has at least 15 czars, not counting the "special advisers". Obama is trying to create a shadow government answerable only to him, completely bypassing Congress and the Supreme Court.
Keep right on crying about Bush did this and Bush did that, but Obama has kept the same policies in place including spying on Americans, helping AT&T cover-up their spy activities, rendition flights, a war in Afghanistan which Obama has declared "necessary" about a hundred times so far, and more troops on the way, etc, etc, etc.

I can only pray that the next three years during President Obama's first term is as gut wrenching, vomit inducing, and mind numbing on a daily basis as the minion of the devils every day in office was for Democrats like me.

If only President Obama could appoint enough white hating cabinet members whose job it was to make republicans wanna leave the country, like the minion of the devil formerly in the White House did to Democrats when he appointed racist, xenophobic, fascists, who wanted nothing more than to turn this country into a dictatorship (under his control of course) by ridding this country of, what he called, "the God*amn Constitution". He "worked" hard to achieve this goal by the end of his first term, subjecting American citizens to being thrown into dark holes where he told them they had no rights, except the right to be tortured to death (this was an actual argument bush and his "justice czar" made before the United States Supreme Court in the "Padilla" case which you can check out if you wish) abolished perhaps the single most important reason why this country was established in the first place (the right to habeas corpus, and you can check that out too if you wish) by absolutely revoking the 4th, 5th, 6th and 8th Amendment Rights in the Constitution (he did this by spying on EVERY communication passed between American citizens and anyone else for that matter, as well as denying American citizens their "guaranteed" and formerly "inalienable" rights to have all charges against them be known, and to have an attorney represent them, and to have a trial in front of an impartial judge)

Excellent article.

That's not true Tim wrote on September 02, 2009 07:00 PM: Fred sometimes uses dem-underground too!

Fair and Balanced Fred wrote on September 02, 2009 07:00 PM: Tim can't refute anything below, so it goes after some made-up enemy (news sources it hates). The cons can't lead so they consistently mislead:

"'Punish' their enemies."

Doesn't this describe Karl Rove and the Bushies' treason in regards to the treasonous outing of covert CIA operative Valerie Plame in order to punish her husband for revealing the Bush administration's lies about Niger's supposed sale of yellow-cake uranium to Iraq?

Punish enemies. In the case above, more than that. Actual treason.

Punish enemies. Doesn't this describe the antics of former House Speaker (currently under indictment) "The Hammer", aka "Hot Tub" Tom Delay?

(Not to mention those paranoid, anonymous emails the right-wingers keep forwarding to each other).

More, the treason by the Bushies in the Plame case was ALL OVER the media, not just left-leaning media, and Tim has absolutely no idea what I read.

The cons can't lead so they consistently mislead.

The Bush administration should be tried for treason, even before war crimes in the Hague.
