#1 The one need not speak. Everyone who owns a hybrid and enough carbon offsets will sublimate into a Gorean paradise (not the good kind) on January 21 leaving the rest of us to fester in a four wheel hell we have made for ourselves. Sadly, most Democrats being loud mouth hypocrites, most will not ascend and we will not have the peace and quiet we deserve.

#2 Is this the crisis of which Sen. Biden spoke?

#3 Not a crisis just yet.

#4 The crises comes when The Big O tries to solve the crisis - any crisis. Too many people think that nose that he waves around alot while talking down to us "ordinaries" is a magic wand that will fix everything. We will see how things turn out.

#5 "We must go to see the Wizard! He can tell us what this all means!"

I guess the Wiz ain't making public appearances anymore when there's trouble.

#6 Hillary hasn't spoken yet either on this.

#7 reporter: Mr. President-Elect, what are your thoughts on yesterdays events?

BHO: Uh, I'm glad you asked, uh, I think it's a tragedy, uh, I mean, let me be clear, I find it very disconcerting that Northwestern gave up that lead, uh, to Missouri and lost the game in OT. This not the same Northwestern, uh, I used to know.

#8 Well, he DID recently have an intelligence briefing as PEBO.

Perhaps he learned a thing or two. Perhaps Rahm is a balancing force.

Eh...I'll stick with my original perceptions of the socialist.

#9 What? All those times he voted "present" or didn't vote at all and yet you expect him to start taking a stand now?

#10 I can safely say that I shall NEVER be disappointed with his silence, or those of his cult-like following.

#11 I hope he continues to disappoint the Pakistanis.

#13 During the campaign, PEBO *did* say something to the effect of "If they were raining rockets down on my kid's heads, I'd kick their sorry, murderous asses too!" (can you tell I'm paraphrasing?) We will see if that position ends up under the already crowded bus when he graduates from PEBO to POTUS.

#14 President Obama will be more responsible than most of my fellow Rantburgians expect. The moonbats in the blogsphere have already been whining for quite some time about how Kucenich would have handled everything much better (sic).

#15 I very, very much hope you are right, Odysseus. For the sake of our country and the world, nothing would make me happier than to have President Barack Obama be revealed by history as a staunch and active defender of the civilized nations against the ravening hordes of jihadi barbarians.

#16 zero: (paraphrasing) "When times get tough I stand with the muslims."

#17 internets: From Audacity of Hope: "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

#18 Actually, Hellfish, he kinda is being consistent with that remark. The political winds are generally in the Palis' favor right now. Therefore, no need to get on their side.

(Ok, I'm reaching a bit, but it makes some sense, don't it?)
