#1 Where the f... did Obama get all these weird women in his administration? It's like they are aliens or something. I would be hard pressed to find such odd ladies in the rest of the population.

#2 Interesting point, 3dc. Is this what happens when your mom's name is Stanley?

#3 Here's a consoling thought for you. Imagine how frustrated (We've lost our Empire to what?!) it makes the Russians feel.

#4 'Managing' is an interesting euphemism for what the administration is doing.

#6 Ref #1: In the cases of Rice, ValJar, Pelosi, Oprah, and Beyoncé Knowles it may have something to do with the money.

#7 Any ideas of what the "tiniest of details" are?

I think such a list would be very funny to see.......except for the fact that it may get soldiers killed.

#8 #1 Where the f... did Obama get all these weird ~~women~~ people in his administration? It's like they are aliens or something.

I'd wouldn't restrict that statement to the women in the administration.

#9 Anyone here remember Lyndon Johnson's quote during Vietnm about micromanaging? They (the military) can't bomb an outhouse without my permission.

I think we are repeating history. Oh wait we aren't teaching history anymore.

#11 “I think that I’m a better speechwriter than my speechwriters,” Mr. Obama told Patrick Gaspard, his political director, at the start of the 2008 campaign, according to The New Yorker. “I know more about policies on any particular issue than my policy directors. ~~I'm a better military strategist than my DOD~~ .And I’ll tell you right now that I’m going to think I’m a better political director than my political director.”

#12 Is this what happens when your mom's name is Stanley?

As Freud would say:
The answer to your question is Yes!

#13 JMK, yes I do remember LBJ saying something like that.

The cartoonish arrogance of that attitude, aptly quoted by Frank, seems to be a defining characteristic of Democrats.

Jimmuh and Operation Eagle Claw?

Wee Willie C. and Operation Desert Fox?

Anyone else see a pattern?

#14 How would B.O. know if the pentagon didn't tell him? After all, he skips his daily briefings. "But sir, it was on slide 23."

#15 So now we "Manage" wars? Cool, no wonder we're losing...
