Codepink is probably surprised anybody even noticed them. They are like an mosquito that annoys and sucks your lifeblood but not really enough to notice.

An elderly gentleman I know called their choice of coloration 'similar to what you get when you squeeze a zit'.

I believe all "Progressives" (spit) are in a permanent state of surprise when it suits them. Just watch the bug-eyes of those appearing as guests on Fox News. Juan Williams is an extra-special hoot.

Juan is probably still in shock that consevatives supported him when he ran into trouble for suggesting muslims might be linked to terrorism or some crazy shit like that.
[NATION.PK] President Barack Obama If you have a small business, you didn't build that... has rejected demands for labelling the US fight against terrorism as a war on radical Islam or any kind of "religious war," insisting that such labels hurt efforts to root out radical ideologies in Moslem communities.
"I think that the way to understand this is there is an element growing out of Moslem communities in certain parts of the world that have perverted the religion, have embraced a nihilistic, violent, almost medieval interpretation of Islam. And they're doing damage in a lot of countries around the world," he said in an interview with CNN aired Sunday.
"But it is absolutely true that I reject a notion that somehow that creates a religious war because the overwhelming majority of Moslems reject that interpretation of Islam. They don't even recognise it as being Islam," the president told CNN's Fareed Zakaria. The interview was taped in New Delhi during Obama's visit to India.
Obama also cautioned against the risk of overplaying the threat of terror groups and said the US should instead align itself with the overwhelming majority of Moslems who reject the radical ideology and tactics of terrorist groups like ISIS and Al-Qaeda.
"I don't quibble with labels. I think we all recognise that this is a particular problem that has roots in Moslem communities," Obama said. "But I think we do ourselves a disservice in this fight if we are not taking into account the fact that the overwhelming majority of Moslems reject this ideology.

Yeah, that's why BO keeps inviting the Muslim Brotherhood to the White House.

Two crossed the Mohammedan curtain
And passed in the looking glass: Burton,
A giant, defiant;
The other, more pliant,
To take up the Polite Man's burden.

He sprang from the source of the Nile
To sell us his soap with a smile.
We won't know for a while --
Maybe after the trial --
Is he crock of crap or crocodile?

There is no indication that the vast majority of Mohammedans reject the violent, nihilistic interpretation. At least ten percent fully accept it, and almost all the rest are more than happy to quietly go along with them and stick it to the West.
[NEWAGEBD.NET] President Barack Obama Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it. Not smack, though.... unveils a $4 trillion spending plan Monday, a budget that calls for huge spending on infrastructure funded by a one-time tax on profits US companies have amassed overseas.
The business-friendly Republican-controlled Congress is all but certain to say no.
The foreign earnings tax would be part of a broader administration plan to overhaul corporate taxes by ending certain tax breaks and lowering rates, a challenging task that Obama and Republican congressional leaders insist they are poised to tackle this year.
The spending document for the 2016 fiscal year beginning Oct. 1 also reflects goals Obama set out in his State of the Union speech, particularly higher taxes on wealthy Americans to shrink the growing gap between high-income and middle-class citizens.
The question is what kind of negotiated middle ground, if any, will emerge in a climate of the overwhelming partisan divide separating Obama and his Democrats from Republicans, many of whom have made their goal to stop or reverse virtually all of the president's domestic initiatives.
Obama, in an NBC interview before the Super Bowl, disputed a suggestion that he and Congress are so far apart that his budget proposals have no chance of winning approval.
"I think Republicans believe that we should be building our infrastructure," Obama said.
"The question is how do we pay for it? That's a negotiation we should have." Obama's new budget offers an array of spending programs and tax increases on the wealthy that Republican politicians have already rejected.
France just proved exactly how counterproductive excess taxes on the rich are. How many of those who left will come back now that they've been allowed to expire, d'you suppose, dear Reader?

Well, he may not be at war with radical Islam but he's definitely at war with the middle class.
Seems by the time the definition of rich is finalized it is a lot of folks a lot further down the chain than Warren Buffet or the Prexy of Chase Manhattan.
I can remember when the Clintonistas floated a tax the rich scheme. When it was announced, it turned out my $150,000 taxable household income, and home ownership made me "rich" and subject to the pillage and plunder provisions of that scheme.
Much like it appears it is with this. Almost $2Trillion in new taxes, supposedly "tax the rich" but when you read them, you realize that just about anyone with a retirement account, stock, or plans to sell their home and downsize in retirement is going to pay a whopper of a tax bill when they decide to tap into those assets.

This just in - women and children hit hardest by the Plan
President Obama released his $4 trillion fiscal year 2016 budget proposal Monday, and in it he outlined some ambitious health care initiatives to improve efficiency and eliminate waste. But buried a little bit deeper is a $50 million cut to one of the U.S.’s longstanding vaccine programs for the under- and un-insured. - cite
