#1 When all else fails... blame someone else.

This old trick is getting a bit stale, son.

#2 The Democrats had control of both houses of congress and the presidency for two years under this president - passed and spent trillions in 'Stimulus'. NONE of it worked - in fact it made it much, much, worse - as designed.

It isn't that they were misguided, or did not understand the problem or simply guessed wrong.

They INTENTIONALLY and WITH FULL KNOWLEDGE OF THE RESULTS drove the economy into the tank. They have been working on it for DECADES. The housing bubble - their intentional creation.

#6 If Obama flung his poo at the Republicans, that's be partisan. Can't have that. He's above all that!

But flinging it at Congress - well the Dims and the media will help the rubes figure out who the problem is there!

#8 Shakey Steve:

You were warned.

In a few minutes you'll be blocked from even reading Rantburg. And keep rebooting to get new IPs, they will be blocked as well.

In two days it will be as if you never existed.

de Medici - your use of 'monkey' with regard to Obama and to Africans is intentionally pushing the line. Trenchant political commentary is welcome at Rantburg. That sort of language isn't.

#14 Man, we are gonna need a bigger sink trap.

Having worked for a number of...let's just call them troubled companies, one of the markers of certain failure was the CEO blaming his idiot employees for being unable to carry out his genius plans. This was usually followed by even more unrealistic plans, more blame and total collapse.

Kandahar Air Base has a.... "Poo Pond." I would offer that as a replacement for the ailing Sink Trap, but I have no graphic.

#16 What Obama, his worshippers and supporters, mean by 'compromise' differs vastly from the common definition. "I won, do it my way." is what Obama means by 'compromise.'

#19 Laura, Shakey Steve has been a pain in
the @ss troll for a long time. Personally, I am glad that he is gone (from Rantburg).
As for de Medici, in my opinion, he is approaching that point. Fortunately for de Medici, I am not a moderator.

#20 I suspect someone from Canada is being cutesy about sh*t, myself. Although since at least two mods that I know of have dirty quebeckers in their family tree, I doubt I'm the only one who remembers who Laura Secord is.

#21 But that someone using that monicker should show up to comment for the very first time about how aaawwwfuul we are being to a certain shaky individual but that we aren't banning some Italian guy enough (when he's the other most banned person currently on the site) is a big coincidence, IMHO.

#22 ...what is wrong with this pictute?

Laura, Shakey Steve seems to have a Tourette's problem when it comes to anything American, whether it is our politics or our willingness to think beyond his beloved Progressive shibboleths. The last straw was addressing us as "tea sackers", his personal oh-so-clever variant of "Teabaggers", itself a deliberate insult. Two of the moderators gave him a final warning yesterday, but he chose to ignore it.

Perhaps he will use his timeout to practice better manners. Others have learnt nicely from this particular opportunity, and returned a positive delight. Other others, on the other hand, turn out to be untrainable.

#23 I guess there has been a temporary shift from blaming G.W. BO is accusing Congress? Last I knew Congress was made up of donks and trunks. He must have forgotten the Senate is controlled by Harry Reid and the Democrats. Blaming Congress isn't going to sit too well with those up for election in 2012. The donks might just replace BO as a candidate.

#24 About Steve, there's Mount Trashmore near Virginia Beach.

I agree with Pres. Obama. Congress should ratify the free-trade agreement with Columbia right away. Um, they can't because Obama hasn't submitted it to Congress yet? What was I thinking?

#33 Nimble Spemble you have a way with words. The soft touch of class.
While distracted with all the conflicts of the world as well as internal issues the world still turns. The Asian Times 8-20-11 reviewed a new book
"The Future of Power". I believe the author is correct. "The problem of American power in the 21st century is not one of decline but of a failure to realize that even the largest country cannot achieve its goals of both national and international significance without the help of others". Hopefully when we have true "hope and change" in 2012 we will hopefully have a better interaction within our country and other countries. NOT a one world order. I believe Russia and China will not grasp this opportunity. Prosperity and wealth will bring stability. You will at least have the opportunity to fix things. The individual growth to the fullest potential of every person. Endless chaos otherwise. Even then like an musical instrument frequent tuning will be required.

#36 Why do I get the feeling that the Rant has been selected for some student assignment in a Soc/Psyc class in Canada to evaluate personal interaction on the internet by being a rectal orifice to intentionally antagonize as many people as possible with provocations? /rhet question
