34. Well, all I can say is that my republican family members ought to
find President Obama more acceptable every day. Right now I feel cheated and embarrassed that I pushed him as a candidate to everyone I know.
Oh well, sucks to be you.

35. Habeas Corpus is a mere bagatelle. He's "keeping his powder dry" for something important.
Like withdrawing the troops from Iraq
and ending the war in Afghanistan
and restoring transparency in government
and getting rid of the lobbyists
and cutting the "defense" budget
and...Oh, wait
Well, he has a lot of things to do...give him a chance...trust him...he's got a plan...
Um, shewuur.

40. It's absolutely hypocritical but we cannot know what information he received
that led him to this.
What? You didn't get your text message from the Obama campaign people? That's odd, I got mine days ago. I totally agree, though, all American people have a RIGHT to see EVERYTHING that the President sees. Otherwise, we might as well just have BushCo back. I think we should write them right now, and DEMAND they make us hard copies of every document that passes thru the WH, and mail them by snail mail to us. Anything else, just wouldn't be FAIR.
Really long thread, started by Kpete. Lots of outrage. No ponies shipped on Easter weekend, I guess.
