One down, one to go

POSTED: Tuesday, January 15, 2013, 9:02 PM

Some people are "coming clean"* about their unethical and immoral conduct during the 2000s. Others...not so much.

* Adding here that Lance Armstrong's "confession" has to be the most overhyped story of this decade, which is saying a lot. Aside from the fact that this was a train that you saw coming in slow motion from 50 miles away, the Lance Armstrong who manipulated the world for 15 years with his doping is now scheming to manipulate the world with his apology. The day that Lance Armstrong does something that isn't all about Lance Armstrong will be the day we know that actually, truly, is sorry.

    Ignore Lance and do a good turn for humanity. The guy is a complete dirtbag. Speaking of dirtbags, nice comment Mr Smith!

    Bunch is a pansy leftist hack, but I don't think you should call him a dirtbag.

    Wokie - I know that you read Sam Wang's blog - but I don't know if you've seen this chart that he linked: it is a must-see (click to embiggen):

    I can not recall any "unethical and immoral conduct during the 2000s" relative to President Bush.

    Obviously Bunch can't either since he failed to give any examples.

    When do we get to prosecute Dear Leader for Fast & Furious? Or for running guns to AQ rebels in Syria out of our - wait for it now - "consulate" in Benghazi? Are liberals even aware that that's what was going on there? Maybe you want to pick up on this story Bunch. You know - might even sell some papers before they close the joint. Who knows - Pulitzer maybe? Forget it though - you'll just continue with the cutting & pasting of other people's work. You're just lazy like your Dear Leader, aren't you?

    So Bush made decisions using intelligence information that turned out to be less than it purported to be. Obama made a specific, conscious decision to order the military to stand down in a direct attack to cover up a failed operation. You tell me which is worse.

    There are benefits monti. An 8 year break from families living in their car stories and anti-war protests for instance.

    Whatever happened to all those "The Fleecing of America" stories on NBC? They seemd to have ended around mid-January 2009. And yet they were just about to have so much good material from all the stimulus spending. What media bias? lol

    The media always biases to its audience, fishy, or else the free market doesn't work. It's always fun though to see that you apprently don't consider outlets like FoxNews, Drudge, Beck and Limbaugh as part of the mainstream, a sure sign of ideological insecurity. I guess it's a liberal country, after all, huh? And it must gall you that most Americans still have a favorable opinion of Barry and approve of his job performance on a daily basis, undermining all the lame excuses we hear about his re-election. Enjoy your benefits, lol.

    Name an 0bama success. From anytime in his career.

    Couple years ago the Bush deficit was unpatriotic and a sign of poor leadership. 0bama's deficit is triple Bush's. 0bama said he only wanted to raise taxes on the top 2%, he just raised taxes on 80% of the country. 0bama said he wanted a "balanced approach" to the debt and deficit yet he still has not offered any cuts to spending and just added $4 Trillion more to the debt over the next ten years.

    How anyone that can even spell finance or economics voted for this guy is beyond me. I miss Jimmy Carter.
