If George W. Bush…
…had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved? …had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have approved?
…had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, would you have approved?
…had visited Austria and made reference to the non-existent “Austrian language,” would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?
…had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current on their income taxes, would you have approved?
…had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?
…had proposed doubling the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?
…had then proposed doubling the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved? …had promised detailed tracking of the spending from a $785 Billion Stimulus Bill and then postponed that oversight until 2010, would you approve or would you think something “smelled fishy”? If Bush had promised 48 hour advance posting of the same bill on the internet and only released it two hours before congressional approval, would you wonder what was being hidden from the public?
had been “addicted” to using a TelePrompTer, and was afraid to give a speech without having one, would you have approved ? Would you think he was intellegent? had pre-approved/pre-picked the list of reporters allowed to ask questions at his press conferences and refused to call on the correspondent from MSNBC (FOX with Obama), would you have approved? Is that a Fair and Balanced news conference? and a Republican Congress had given hundreds of millions of dollars to a group (the right-wing equivalent of ACORN) after its members had been convicted of voter registration fraud, would you approve of them to doing the 2010 Census, which will determine congressional districts for 10 years? Will you trust ACORN in 2010?
If Bush’s White House Staff had spent over $300,000 flying Air Force One low over New York (for a publicity photo flyby with the Statue of Liberty) frightening the city, wouldn’t you have expected Bush to make the pictures public? Would you have approved? Obama won’t give them up, but he will release the secret “torture memos”.
Would you have approved of George W. Bush moving the Census from the Dept. of Commerce into the White House and putting his Chief of Staff in control of the counting?
Obama’s done all this in 14 weeks — so we still have three years, eight-and-a-half months full of surprises ahead of us.
I’ve read many of her cases, the ones that I cited are just the tip of the iceberg. Try to wade through her poorly written opinions and, if you’re an objectively reasonable person, you’ll agree with me that she isn’t qualified to sit on the SCOTUS.
Good comments today, but did you know that Enron, most hedge funds, and most of the companies listed in your comment were and are big time contributors to Democrat candidates?
Why? Because they probably expect to make a ton of money doing business with or on behalf of the government.
Elise & Bill raise some intersting points about how this woman’s meteoric rise. Princeton, Harvard,? Who’s her rabbi? The courts in the Bronx are reknown for being the worst in the world so take her background with a grain of salt. The Bronx venue shows a healthy DISREGARD for the law. I agree that nobody wants to anger the new majority (hispanics) by challenging this selection. It’s all about getting their pathetic a sses re-elected. Our political system, like our judicial system, sucks.

George (DD for that matter):

Thanks Joe. Looks like the blind selected the blind.
… send us the link to the pro business decisions so we can read them.
PS great stuff Joe.

Joe, You need to become the new face of the republican party! If what you sat is true…It’s going to get ugly real soon!
The only thing the Republicans needed to do to ensure more conservative SC picks was to win the Presidential election. The only thing.
Now, why do you supposed the GOP did not?
Those are all true, WAZZUP; that’s what’s scary about this whole thing. The media acts as if Jesus were elected, not the real clown named BHO..
