2. I'm getting tired of hearing rightwingers telling us what Obama should and shouldn't do.
Go give McLame some pointers about how he can hone his campaigning skills. If Obama didn't know what to do he would be a Republican.

33. Myrtle Beach desegregated
I was there for the school desegregation. And a dastardly thing it was, too. If I'm recalling correctly, it was in 1962...could have been '63, but I think it was '62...and they put exactly ONE black student in each classroom of 30. I'll bet they didn't put one white student in each class in the formerly black school...what do you want to bet? It wasn't something that happened in the beginning of the school year, it was already in progress.

On top of that, they decided to redo some of the tile (somewhere unseen in the school) so when we walked in that morning there was a rank stench throughout the building...then into the classrooms and guess who was already there before any other student? Naturally many halfwits believed the smell was not from the tile repair, as we all know how cruel children can be. Especially when trained to hate black people from birth.

I still remember the girl in our classroom...Sylvia was her name, and she was a head taller than anyone else. When I think back on the utter disregard whomever came up with the idea to put one black student in each class (I guess they felt it was safe)...typical of a state more Republican than most (even if some of them pretended to be Democrats, Dixiecrats more like)! I can't even imagine how she must have felt, in an utterly alien environment and being gawked at by a bunch of strange kids.

Anyway...thank the Big G I'm the Hell out of that state now and in a place where people are reasonable. You know that SC is 49th lowest rated in education, right? Yeah, that explains a LOT about why they are (still) so pro-Bush!

25. honestly she just makes a fool out of herself
And ABC too. I wonder why they keep her on? There are people I don't agree with and who have an agenda like Clarke, as you said, but they usually aren't that bad to listen to, however Cokie Roberts is an embarrassment. She has to just make stuff up, because I've heard her say things that make me wonder if she has her faculties together. I don't know if she's a liar, I think she's your quintessential out-of-touch Beltway tool along with having an ego that makes her frightfully intellectually lazy.

29. Republicon's real problems with tire gauges
Checking tire pressure is a practical, cost effective energy conservation strategy that we can implement immediately. As such it eats away at Big Oil's record profits.

And wait a minute! Where does this arrogant (read: uppity) "all talk" upstart Democrat get off telling us we don't know how to inflate our six tires.

:sarcasm:

I can almost see this becoming a republicon talking point: "Why does Obama think Americans are too stupid or irresponsible to properly inflate their tires? What we really need is a pressure gauge to measure his inflated ego!"

35. What I Found Repulsive
Was the nature of the attacks on Obama. None of it was really on policy. Instead it was all about how they think Obama is not up to the task. What did they have to offer to support their points? Basically, gut instincts. Of course those same gut instincts gave us George W. Bush. Just look how that has turned out. But what else can the talking heads do when their only goal is to create a horserace. Every time John McCain opens his mouth in goes his foot. That means they are left with bad mouthing Barak Obama and bad mouth him they do. A recent evaluation showed that 72% of the comments on Obama are negative. Much of it is borderline racist.

39. 'Gutless' instincts if you ask me...
...the Cokies and the George Wills and the rest of this bunch of Rethug apologists aren't just giving us their opinion about Obama, they're spouting their bosses' agenda. They can't abide the idea of a Democratic President, especially this Democratic President, who'll try to return some semblance of sanity to media ownership, corporate tax give-aways, and the Fairness Doctrine. They know they'll have to make changes under new direction from the FCC and a substantial Democratic majority Congress and they want to do their part in stopping him. Damn 'em to hell.

36. Hokey Cokie.
She can't do any better than that?
It's not that she's so bad, it's because Obama's so damn good!

I hope she keeps trying, though; because it's fun to watch her droop to new depths of stupidity for the sake of the corporation.
