I think he would like to be the Big Noise from Winnetka. His campaign seemed to start out as "I'm a businessman, not a politician" but he's a lot more wealthy than the average businessman.

I wonder what the Ukranian term for Anschluss is?

I once went to a meeting where the BIG boss was asked about hiring one person - a transporation aide - to push the patients to and from surgery....

The idiot answered, 'I want a porsche, but can't afford one - you will just have to do your job'.

Ever since then, whenever I hear someone in charge make a flip statement it really wrankles me arse...

Hokay, The idiot republicans want to 'sue' the president and the dems are laughing at them. Useless waste of resources?

So the prez is out and about doing speeches and whatever and he begins to mock this 'lawsuit', and rightly so.

But, instead of stopping there, he cracks a joke. He says, "You know who is going to pay for it......"

The crowd mumbles.....

"You are!"

All politics aside - just talking demeanor here - Does that mean he thinks it's funny that he is the head of an effed up system and being the target of this stupidity is a badge of honor? He carried on for another minute or two, but I didn't listen, I was trying to figure out who would brag about being the cause of some bureaucratic waste of time - then mock the people who were 'paying for it'....

We are governed by a bunch of idiots....No, Idiots would be insulted if they were lumped into this group of morons.....sheesh.

Why the ()@#)_( is the government allowing the introduction of vectors by bringing infected aid workers back into the country? The British had quarantine procedures worked out in the 1700s. They worked. they weren't compassionate, but they stopped the spread of disease. use them.

The reassurances from the CDC that there's no risk are hardly reassuring, as this is the same agency which in recent weeks has lost track of lab samples of bird flu, smallpox, and anthrax.

I'm with you on this, LH.
