Another Sociopath Heard From

Ann Coulter: Why can’t we deal with our border the way Netanyahu deals with Hamas?: "Appearing on Fox News Hannity, frequent guest Ann Coulter told host Sean Hannity that she wished Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was “our president,” so he could deal with our border problems the way he deals with border issues in his own country."

OK, So you hate Obama

A lot of my friends that are conservatives (yes, such folks exist) tell me that they can't stand Obama but whenever they are pressed to come up with something in particular they don't like it turns out to be:

  •  something that is either just untrue (he is trying to take our guns),
  •  he is soft on illegal immigration (more deportations than any other President), 
  • he propped up the banks (nope that was Bush 43 with TARP)
  • he wasted money with the stimulus (only true in that it was too small, although  cash for clunkers was indeed misguided)
  • He bailed out GM  (really, you want to have that conversation about how it would have been a good idea to crater what was left of the economy?)
  • OBAMACARE !!!! (only a bad idea in that it leaves the existing system mostly in place. Personally I am happy as hell because I would surely otherwise be uninsurable)
  • BENGHAZI!!! (oh please. You can TRY to hang this around Clinton's neck if you want but watch out for the blowback when she points out that the GOP cut the budget for embassy security)
That only leaves me with one thing that he is guilty of ... he is a Democrat. 

Tell me which of the clown car full of GOP candidates you found appetizing last time around and explain to me why they would have been better. 

Bachmann's Plan - Wasn't real

Michele Bachmann Suggests Labor Camps for Immigrant Children: "Bachmann’s plan? Send those children to labor camps, which she warmly refers to as “Americanization Facilities,” with the goal of having them pay off their past, present, and future care expenses, while assimilating them into American culture. And in exchange for that labor, the children would be fast-tracked on a path to citizenship."

Yeah, because nothing says "welcome to the USA" like making someone an indentured servant or even better Slave labor.

CEO of Radio Shack...

The risk of delisting adds to RadioShack’s headaches as the retail chain attempts a turnaround under Chief Executive Officer Joe Magnacca, who is cutting costs and revamping stores. The Fort Worth, Texas-based company said last month that soft demand for mobile phones contributed to a 14 percent decline in same-store sales last quarter.

Great Hire!

Chris Matthews - Still Delusional

Chris Matthews Pretends Next Democratic President Is Ever Going To Be Allowed To Have A 'Mandate' | Crooks and Liars:

"Chris Matthews wrapped up this Wednesday's edition of Hardball by insisting that if the next Democratic presidential candidate just does more to chase after those white male voters who did not vote for President Obama the last time around, they'll actually be allowed to govern like they've got a mandate. "

isn't it cute when he is pretending that the GOP base is made up of anything other than a bunch of nihilists?

Will The Impeachment be over Obamacare?

House Republicans Will Sue Obama Because He's Not Implementing Obamacare Fast Enough | ThinkProgress
"House Republicans intend to sue the Obama administration for unilaterally delaying the employer responsibility provision of the Affordable Care Act, Politico reported on Thursday, in effect trying to speed up the implementation of the health care law.  
The lawsuit will come after the administration twice delayed the provision — which requires employers with more than 50 employees to pay a fine if they don’t offer affordable quality coverage — citing complaints from firms that claimed they wouldn’t be ready to meet its requirement by 2014.  
But Republicans did not immediately question the legality of the postponement. Instead, the GOP called on Obama to also delay the individual mandate and vowed to take another vote on the matter."

'via Blog this'

I know that this is for the lawsuit that will be quickly dismissed but it surely sets the stage for the amazing spectacle of trying to impeach a president because he didn't act quickly enough to implement a law that the GOP has spent years trying to convince us is of the Devil.

I am investing in popcorn futures.
