Quotes
"The message he wanted to send with the stimulus
package -- a new tone of bipartisan cooperation
-- has been lost in old Washington games,
as the opposition party finds its voice. If Obama's going to
salvage something out of his first bipartisan
push -- other than Super Bowl leftovers -- it's going to
have to happen here and now, with the men
and women he once called colleagues."
-- Rick Klein, Link
Why did Obama expect to be treated with respect?
Why did he expect the rapid dogs to stop biting?
I'm afraid he's coming off as naive and that's not helping.

The South Vs. Obama
Excerpt:
On January 28, Obama's $819 billion stimulus
plan passed the House of Representatives, despite the solid opposition
of the Confederates. By the Confederates I mean
the Republican Party and their allies among Southern conservative
Democrats. The battle in Washington is not between
liberals and conservatives; it is between the Union and the South.
The Republican Party that voted unanimously against
the stimulus bill is, in essence, the party of the former Confederacy.
In the House of Representatives, there is not
a single Republican representative from New England. In the U.S. Senate,
there is not a single Republican from the Pacific
Coast...The vote about the stimulus package was not about economics.
It was about nullification. It was the bipartisan
Confederacy sending a message to the rest of America, stricken by the
greatest crisis since the Depression. That message?
Drop Dead.
Why is Obama trying to sway Republicans and backstabbing
Democrats?
Are they threatening to veto the Obama Recovery
Package?
If I was Obama's Chief of Staff, I'd advise him
"Let
them fucking try."
People losing their jobs and people losing their
homes do not want this package killed.
Whoiever leads the charge to kill this recovery
(that's how I'd frame it) will lose the next election.

Subject: Re: Stimulus and Republicans
Bart:
Perhaps Obama can offer to cut spending in the
states in the stimulus bill for Republican Senators
who would like the spending cut in their states?
All they would have to do is let the Senate leadership
know that they don’t want some or any of the
money that is to be spent in their states cut.

Subject: Isn't it time to finally legalize Pot?
Now that Michael Phelps has been caught smoking marijuana isn't it about time that we legalize it?
Marijuana is hardly even a drug and is far less
dangerous than legal hard core addictive drugs like alcohol and tobacco.
Phelps is the latest in a list of successful
role models who have smoked pot which includes president Bill Clinton,
Al Gore,
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dan Quayle, Bruce Lee,
Carl Segan, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, John Denver, Oliver Stone,
Ted Turner, Steve Martin, Chris Rock, Willie
Nelson, Tommy Chong, Johnny Cash, and Neil Diamond.
So isn't it time we stopped this crazy obsession
with a substance that is virtually harmless and just legalize it?
We have enough real problems without having to
fight artificial ones.

'Hope is Flickering' on Obama's Torture stand
Excerpt:
The ACLU, which has been harshly critical of
Bush and praiseworthy of Obama, has fired a torpedo across the Obama bow.
After the British High Court ruled that evidence
of a British resident's rendition and harsh interrogation at Gitmo must
remain secret
because of Bush threats to halt intelligence
sharing, the Obama Administration offered a terse statement supporting
the BBC.
"The United States thanks the UK government for
its continued commitment to protect sensitive national security information
and preserve the long-standing intelligence sharing
relationship that enables both countries to protect their citizens," a
spokesman said.
In response, the ACLU's executive director, Anthony
Romero, shot off a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton asking
Obama
to clarify their position. Romero also said "Obama
has now offered more of the same."
"Hope is flickering," Romero said in a statement.
"The Obama administration's position is not change. It is more of the same.
This represents a complete turn-around and undermining
of the restoration of the rule of law. The new American administration
shouldn't be complicit in hiding the abuses of
its predecessors."
So - what do we do IF
Obama becomes pro-torture?
And this is 16 days after declaring in his inaugural,
"America will not torture."
IF Obama threatens
to halt intelligence sharing, isn't he, in effect, pro-torture?

Cheney warns
of new attacks
Did he Green-light Osama to attack?
Excerpt
Dick Cheney warned that there is a “high probability”
that terrorists will attempt a catastrophic nuclear or biological attack
in coming years, and said he fears Obama’s "No
torture" policies will make it more likely the attempt will succeed.
Cheney unyieldingly defended Bush administration’s
support for torturing helpless suspects.
And he asserted that Obama will either backtrack
on his stated intentions to end those policies or put the country at risk
in ways more severe than most Americans — and,
he charged, many members of Obama’s own team — understand.
“When people are more concerned about the Constitution
than torturing helpless suspects, then I worry,” Cheney said.

Bipartisanship
at What Price?
by E. J. Dionne Jr.
Excerpt:
The coming week will test the strength of President
Obama and the Democrats: Will they lose their nerve?
That's a stupid question - even for E. J. Dionne.
Or will they face down a rapidly forming conventional
wisdom that would allow them to claim victory
only if their economic stimulus package passes
with substantial Republican support?..
The president's quest for a new tone in Washington
also has a practical motive. He believes that economic recovery
is about psychology as well as money and that
Americans will have more confidence in the future if they see the nation's
politicians cooperating to resolve the crisis.
Good luck with that.
Rapid dogs can't be reasoned with.
They can be caged and they can be put down.
If achieving bipartisanship takes priority over
the actual content of policy, Republicans are handed
a powerful weapon. In theory, they can keep moving
the bipartisan bar indefinitely. And each concession
to their sensibilities threatens the solidarity
in the president's own camp.

Bailouts
for Bunglers super-rich Thieves
by Paul Krugman
Excerpt:
Question: what happens if you lose vast
amounts of other people's money?
Answer: you get a big gift from the federal
government - but the president says
some very harsh things about you before forking
over the cash.
Am I being unfair? I hope so. But right now that’s what seems to be happening.
Just to be clear, I’m not talking about the Obama
administration’s plan to support jobs and
output with a large, temporary rise in federal
spending, which is very much the right thing to do.
I’m talking, instead, about the administration’s
plans for a banking system rescue - plans that are
shaping up as a classic exercise in "lemon socialism":
taxpayers bear the cost if things go wrong,
but stockholders and executives get the benefits
if things go right."ipartisan
The money was stolen by the bastards we now have to bail out.
Why can't they just audit
the Wall Street bastards and see who made all the millions in the last
few years?
These guys got paid every time they made a bad loan - why do we reward
that?
And the same guys are still in charge, but now that it's OUR money,
they're no longer
making loans to qualified people and the housing and auto industries
are going under.

Carville: A History Lesson for the Pigboy
Excerpt:
Limbaugh proposes that because the Democrats
got roughly 54 percent of the votes to the Republicans’ 46 percent,
the stimulus package should be allocated along
his definition of ideological lines, i.e. 54 percent towards infrastructure
improvement and 46 percent toward tax breaks
for Limbaugh and his friends."...
And he is serious.
However much one may disagree with the current
"daddy" of all Republicans (Beg to differ? See Rep. Phil Gingrey,
who apologized last week for doubting Rush),
you have to admire El Rushbo's principled stance and his well-known
consistent ideology.
Why surely it seems like just yesterday that Al
Gore won the national popular vote in 2000 (and arguably won the
popular vote in Florida too). Limbaugh must have
called for the incoming Bush administration to allocate ideas based
on the proportion of election returns.
James, take it from me - there's no point in arguing with the vulgar
Pigboy.
He has the consistency of warm baby shit and he cannot be reasoned
with.

GOP to Rename Midland, TX Courthouse After Giggling Murderer
Excerpt:
During the past few months, Bush and his Fascist
dogs have been working diligently to shape his legacy.
Their efforts have included rewriting history
in the last days of his presidency, creating the Bush-Cheney Alumni
Association website to "set the record straight",
and working on the “partisan” Bush library and "think tank" at SMU.
Now, the Dallas Morning Whore reports Bush may be getting some help from his friends in Congress:
Texas lawmakers are pushing to name a Midland
courthouse for the Giggling Murderer.
Rep. Michael Conaway, R-Midland – Bush’s longtime
toady – is pushing the idea.
All 20 Texas Republicans in the U.S. House have
signed on, as well as 10 of the 12 Texas Democrats.
The name change would be ironic considering Bush’s
penchant for abusing the justice system.
Hey, I don't care if they rename the entire state Texas for the sick
bastard.
As long as he's gone and can't hurt (or murder) any more people,
anything in Texas that they want to name after the son of a bitch is
OK with me.

Subject: Pigboy's remarks about our president
You know, Bart, when I learned that the Vulgar
Pigboy said that President Obama should be
"more frightened of me than of Mitch McConnell",
and those are his words, not mine, that raised a red flag with me.
When a person says that another person should
be frightened of them, I take that to mean that the person
who makes the remark has something in mind for
the second person, and it's not good.
I take Limbaugh's remarks as a serious concern,
and I called the Secret Service two days ago to register my concern.
The person on the other end told me that this
would be given to an agent and if there was cause for investigation, the
agent would call me.
I hold out hope that I will get the call, because
this time, the Vulgar Pigboy should not be allowed to skate away
scott free, if you will. He should be held
to account.
Keep Swinging the biggest Hammer in All of the
Known Universe, Bart!
