		<description>Jimbo,
He can&#039;t get worse than Bush- no room there. All he has to do is stay better than Bush (not that difficult) and he&#039;s a shoo-in! I&#039;ll bet a lot of people will be pressuring him to run for a third.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m still on the side, that I don&#039;t think any people under the Bush Administration should be prosecuted for using harsh interrogation techniques.  We were attacked by terrorists, we didn&#039;t make the soundest decisions, add the tinge of paranoia, fear and anger that was well expected from being attacked on our own soil, and it&#039;s easy to see, that using harsh interrogation techniques was a natural response.  Not excusable, but still, like Obama said in some form or another, lets put it in the past.  Lets not throw past leaders in prison, Vindication is a pretty immature emotion.  I think we should be better than that.</description>

		<description>Newt Gingrich?  Mike Huckabee? Sarah Palin?  Mitt Romney?  We couldn&#039;t be any luckier if Obama won in 2012 with the same regurgitated pool of incompetent Republicans running for Office.  I guess the Republicans never heard Einsteins quote.  That doing the same thing over and over, and expecting different results, is insanity.  The Republican Party, has four years to get it&#039;s act together and re-define itself and go in a new and better direction.  But if history is any predictor for the future, then it should be to no surprise to anyone that they&#039;ll revert back to their old ways.  The GOP needs to be a little more inclusive, and maybe not so desperate.</description>

		<description>Hello &quot;stoned&quot;.

   I saw all three of your links on another thread.

    Link three had the commentator celebrating China as the greatest economy the world has ever known since in embraced unfettered capitalism.

    He did NOT mention that China uses slum housed, government oppressed, slave labor to sublimate the wages of working people in the US and the world over.</description>

		<description>I suppose if fair-minded Americans get ahold of the real intentions of President Obama and the Democrat-controlled Congress currently spending the USA into bankruptcy, fair-minded Americans might change their minds in 2010, for starters.  And after that, 2012.

This is the first of a three part series. See related on youtube.

		<description>Phant,
&quot;Another year and it’ll be harder to find someone that’ll admit they voted for bush, than it was to find someone to admit they voted for Nixon.&quot;

Who knows? They may have actually been that rare. I get the impression that Diebold&#039;s vote might have counted at least as much as all the hanging chads in Florida.</description>

		<description>It sucks to be a RepuliKhan these days.

And just think, a few short years ago, they dreamed of a permanent Republican majority. 

As I said, it sucks to be a Con these days.</description>

		<description>Heard something today about the number of people identifying themselves as repub continues to decline, former repubs are identifying themselves as independents.
I&#039;d say the dems have little to fear in the mid-terms or 2012.</description>

		<description>I saw these comments on the Web about the One.

Today&#039;s breaking news, same as yesterday, same as tomorrow: 

Corruption and greed plague DC and Wall Street. Obama taxes, begs, borrows and spends as formerly free markets falter and fail. Unemployment, bankruptcy, despair soar. Swine flu hits Mexico. World Health Organization declares flu pandemic. Schools close in Mexico and Texas. Panic spreads. Earthquake hits Mexico. &quot;Illegal&quot; guns flow from U.S. to Mexico. Illegal drugs, illegal aliens, crime, disease and violence flow back. CO2 emmissions threaten to overheat the earth, raise sea levels, drown millions. War continues to spread in the Middle East. Corruption, crime, violence, greed, plagues, pestilence, drought, floods, fire, earthquakes, war and rumors of war. Panic consumes all. Common sense abandoned. We must submit or die!!!! 

Not one to waste a good crisis, Obama quickly blames America, humbly apologizes and bows to world government.</description>

		<description>Great news folks!

Todd Tiahrt has finally listened to my calls and emails. He is now one of 92 co-sponsors for Ron Paul&#039;s bill HR 1207 &quot;The Federal Reserve Transparency Act&quot;.

Since we cannot gain momentum in the Abolish the Fed movement, we will audit them and give America a clearer explanation for abolishing the Fed.

This audit will expose the Fed and it shroud of secrecy. It will virtually reveal its misdeeds to the public and cause an uproar so great that there will be no other alternative but to abolish the Fed.

It&#039;s a good day to be a Kansan folks. We should praise Tiahrt for this, even if he does make other stupid decisions.</description>

		<description>DFB exactly the Republicans will in time finally come either backs to what it was once was. Or a name voice that will overcome the current misdirection will win over and lead the party in a correct direction.
So 2012 is far enough in the future anything is possible, currently it is Obama and the Democratic Party who has the answers to the questions the public has. There is also enough time till 2012 for either it to correctly answer those questions or fall flat on their face. Currently they are suffering from the same ill that helps lead the Republicans to the downfall. Hubris, we win, we lead, we are all there is to be!

Such hubris led to the party becoming pointless and disjointed from the country. 
The winds of the electorate change with little if any reason or logic. 
Obama may take a downfall not because of any reasonable or logical reason. 
It maybe something that in hindsight is frivolous and pointless but still be the reason for the downfall.
Who knows?</description>

Currently they are suffering from the same ill that helps lead the Republicans to the downfall. Hubris, we win, we lead, we are all there is to be!</p>
<p>Such hubris led to the party becoming pointless and disjointed from the country.<br />
The winds of the electorate change with little if any reason or logic.<br />
Obama may take a downfall not because of any reasonable or logical reason.<br />
It maybe something that in hindsight is frivolous and pointless but still be the reason for the downfall.<br />
Who knows?</p>

		<description>You&#039;ve got to be kidding . . . . . 


Only a fool - and apparantly there are several here - pays any attention to a poll for 2012 now.  Worse, it is irrelevent for governing; any officeholder who&#039;s decisions are guided by poll results isn&#039;t fit to hold office.

The reality is this sort of created &quot;news&quot; is what substitutes for reporting these days.  And the newspapers then wonder why they&#039;re losing readership, and lamely blaming on-line access to news for their troubles.  Right.  Give people something worth reading; they&#039;ll read it.  If you serve up pap, well . . . . 

People, do what is appropriate for this poll - ignore it.</description>

		<description>Writer - you hit it on the head...if polls determined our elected officials 2-3 yrs out, it would&#039;ve been Hillary running against Rudy last Nov according the polling soothsayers.  That&#039;s why they &quot;play the game&quot;.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t really think &#039;he&#039; can think on his own.

&quot;Obama’s speech at the National Academy of Sciences Monday morning hit a brief snag when Obama got ahead of his script.

Laying his plan for a President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, Obama began to name the members of PCAST listed in his prepared remarks – before realizing he’d already introduced them, earlier in his speech.

“In addition to John – sorry, the – I just noticed I jumped the gun here,” Obama said, pausing for several seconds as he looked at the prompter. “Go ahead. Move it up. I had already introduced all you guys.”

The audience, which gave the president a warm reception, responded with a quiet laugh.&quot;</description>

		<description>It really depends on what happens in 2009, 2010 and 20011. Maybe there should be a poll predicting what happens in those years?</description>
