#6 Painful yes, but this piece of crap must suffer continued administration policy and economic failure in order to be defeated in 2012.

#7 I have had the same thought as R.J. - assuming the 'thank you' part was sarcastic. Although, I could see someone like Allen West proving us both wrong.

#8 Any Republican candidate worth his or her salt will use this information to stymie BO's bid for reelection in 2012. The question is, how many of them actually will? I mean, McCain should have been screaming bloody murder about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac back in 2008 but he didn't. Why not? Was he somehow complicit in that mess or is he just milquetoast? Can we get a Republican with candidate who will use this news for what it's worth? Please?

#9 I mean, McCain should have been screaming bloody murder about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac back in 2008 but he didn't. Why not?

Because he continued to think like a Senator.

#10 The Obama crowd have no ideas, only propaganda they've been fed since they were in diapers. We have a media-crowned "president" that wouldn't make a good elementary-school vice-principal as the most powerful man in the world forcing a socialist agenda down our throats, and the majority of Repuglycons don't have the stones to vigorously oppose him. The "debt deal" was a disaster. O'Bumble's presidency is a disaster. Pelosi/Reid/Biden are disasters. Obamacare is a disaster. We can only survive so many disasters. I wrote on my weblog a detailed plan that would have saved our AAA rating, and sent a copy to 40 different presidential hopefuls and congresscritters. I haven't gotten a single reply. It's time to take 'em all out, down to the GS-15 level, and start over.

#11 How in the hell has O'Bummer been allowed to operated without a budget since he was elected? And yet he has been spending money (our money) like some horny teen-age boy with a credit card in a wh0re house.

#12 I tell the truth, and you jump on me like a duck on a june bug.
WELL, should I have said Afro Half-American For Obullshit?

#13 Redneck Jim, if you want to peddle not so subtle expressions of happiness at the thought of no future Black presidents for a century, do it somewhere else.

Last warning.
