Meet the New Obama
by Dan Balls
Link
Obama has never lacked for confidence, but rarely has that attribute been on display
as clearly as on Monday in his second inaugural address.
This was not the 2008 Obama who campaigned on themes of transcending politics.
Instead, it was a president who has accepted the reality that Bitch and Boner will
never play ball and Obama is determined to prevail on his terms.
His first campaign was aspirational, hoping he could gently guide the opposing sides
to consensus. Monday’s speech conveyed the ambitions of a president who now
believes that a different style of leadership is required.
Think of the years we could've saved if Obama read bartcop.com
Or, he could've asked Bill and Hillary if the GOP would ever play ball.
You can't reason with a two-headed snarling dog and now Obama knows it.

First Round goes to Hillary
I've been watching the snarling senate dogs attempt to lay a glove on Hillary.
Sen Johnson (?) tried to get tough with her so Hillary raised her voice and censored herself
when replying, "At the time, what the fuck difference would it have made, Asshole?"
Then McCain started whining about how terribly awful it is to deceive the American people.
Dick Durban said, "Senator, I have five words for you: "Iraqi weapons of mass destruction."
Hillary, Obama and the Democrats won Round One - BIG time.
Round Two starts this afternoon in the Whore House where the snarling dogs are much less civil.
I assume Hillary will rip them new ones IF they get out of line.

Barry, Go For the Throat
by Stephen Pizzo
Link
For his entire first term, Obama was accused of being a poison-ish partisan.
Now, with gun control on the front-burner, they accuse him of being a fascist dictator.
Of course the GOP has no desire whatsoever for any degree of bipartisanship with Obama.
None. And their stalling and blocking in the House and Senate are all the proof you need.
So why continue reaching out to folks who bite your hand every time you reach out?
The hell with them.
Maybe if they are treated the same way they have treated Democrats for the past couple of
decades, they'd get some genuine bipartisan religion. Maybe if they discover they get nowhere
just trying to keep Democrats from getting anywhere, they'll want to get somewhere again someday.
And the only way you get anywhere in life or politics without some degree of compromise.
So, for the next four years Barry, go for it dude.

Subject: your Alaska trip
Bart, you need a vacation. I went to Italy last fall because a friend put up the money.
I will be paying off the trip forever, but the memories are worth it!
I hope you and Mrs. Bart have a wonderful time, and see the Aurora Borealis—they look beautiful, in pictures.
Just let us know if you can see Russia, from out there :)
Best Regards,
Janet
Janet, thanks for that.
People keep saying we're going at the wrong time but our window is closing.
We are pleased to release the ALL NEW trailer for SAVING LINCOLN
which opens in theaters on February 15th. The film utilizes a new filmmaking technique – CineCollage,
which makes use of actual Civil War photos (from the Library of Congress) for the green screen
backdrops in every scene. Based on fact, the story follows U.S. Marshall Ward Hill Lamon
as he shadows Abraham Lincoln as his bodyguard during the Civil War.

Another Cowboy Gets DWI
Dead teammate
fails to persuade...Link
Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Jay Ratliff was arrested and charged with DWI
after crashing his pickup into an 18-wheeler early Tuesday in Grapevine, Texas.
Ratliff was not injured in the accident and was released from jail after posting a $500 bond.
Ratliff failed a field sobriety test administered by officers after the accident.
Ratliff's arrest comes two months after Cowboys defensive lineman Josh Brent was arrested
after an accident that killed teammate Jerry Brown. Brent has been charged with DUI manslaughter.

Does Torture Work?
Link
It is a Bush-era debate that has found relevance because of Zero Dark Thirty,
in which torture seems to work quite well.
The film is being sold as a fact-based accounting of the manhunt for bin Laden. In it, torture
— the waterboarding, sleep deprivation, stress positions, hitting and humiliation the U.S. once
antiseptically dubbed “enhanced interrogation” — is depicted as integral to the information
gathering that allowed the CIA to find him.
That depiction has alarmed some observers. Acting CIA Director Michael Morell recently
issued a statement to agency employees in which he says the film gives the impression these
brutal methods “were the key to finding bin Laden. That impression is false.”
Martin Sheen and Ed Asner are so upset that they have reportedly asked the Academy
not to support the film at Oscar time. But torture still has its defenders. Michael Mukasey
penned an op-ed in 2011 defending the harsh techniques because, he said, they produced
results. In a recent column, George F. Will dubbed torture “hard but morally defensible.”
Does torture work?
Excuse me, but Democrats aren't allowed in this debate.
When this subject comes up, good Democrats are expected to start screaming
"Always and never!" until the other side walks away in frustration.
Any other behavior makes one "another Cheney."

You might want to post up the 23 executive orders that Obama signed.
Not once is assault rifle or clips mentioned. The wingers are going crazy

I am so liberal I make Ted Kennedy look right wing and I have a concealed carry

1. Issue a Presidential Memorandum to require federal agencies to make relevant data
available to the federal background check system.
2. Address unnecessary legal barriers, particularly relating to the Health Insurance Portability
and Accountability Act, that may prevent states from making information available to the
background check system.
3. Improve incentives for states to share information with the background check system.
4. Direct the Attorney General to review categories of individuals prohibited from having a
gun to make sure dangerous people are not slipping through the cracks.

OK Bart, since some people aren't responding...
"It was love at first sight" is the opening line to a lot of bad romances,
but as far as Classics it belongs to *Catch-22* by Joseph Heller.
It describes Yosarrian's reaction to the new Chaplain -- believing
the Chaplain could get him out of the war.

Going to Alaska
Mrs Bart has always wanted to go to Alaska and Hawaii.
Thanks to Scott H (Don HO) we got to Hawaii in 2005 and we thought we'd
better go to Alaska before I have to drag an oxygen tank behind my wheelchair.
We bought tickets last year but we kept running into reasons why we couldn't go so
we're trying once again to go - and we're Alaska newbies. Astrocat says March is the
best month for aurora viewing and the weather isn't always freezing - hopefully.
BTW, there's something else:
Once we land, I'd enjoy a conversation with someone who agrees with me
on the stupidity of the Obama administration raiding legal businesses.
Any Bartcop readers in Anchorage?
And some thing new we're going to try:
Would you like to sponsor a portion of the trip?
Maybe a tank of gas or a few dollars toward a hotel or a boat ride or something?
That would get your name in the sure-to-be-fun Alaska Trip Report.
"And the third night we stayed at the Wedgewood in Fairbanks thanks to
Lou and Rita farnsworth and the King of All Dogs," type of thing.
