Truesee's Daily Wonder

truesee, I sincerely appreciate what you do here and support you, as well as the president, in full. Keep in mind, though, we are the few here and have no problem expressing our support unlike others may be. The drawback to this is that once people know where you stand, they refrain from pretty much all interaction here, OPENLY, at LP.

How unintelligent is this? If you're (R), on "their" side, they'll talk you to death and fill Hefty bags full of Obama jokes and slogans. If you're a (D), that's the end of 99% of dialogues here. They allow freedom of political choice to come between a search for common grounds. I'm cool with it...demonstrates just how the crowd works here.

Finally, I've been anxiously waiting to see which of "them" would either post, or, discuss the positive interaction between Christie (R) of New Jersey and the president. New York and New Jersey are a mess and I feel so badly for those residents. I see where Christie told that reporter just how he really felt in light of things much, much, much more important...
"I don't give a   about this election...."

Yeah, they won't touch this one...and for good reason. Republicans here hate and despise when the two share "common ground" I mention so often. That's pitiful...they hate peace. You won't see any of them make good and positive remarks about Obama and Christie shaking hands...putting differences aside.

Keep up the good work.

I am from NJ, and I for one am glad Gov. Christie told the lame Media that he didn't care about the Election. There are far more important issues concerning NJ right now, then politics.
I for one also am glad to see both working for the same thing, although everyone here knows the reason why.
But am still glad to see exchanges of help being brought to this state by Feds.
Handshakes are only symbolic, the real progress will be when help starts arriving and things slowly start to get back to normal. Although for some, relief will never come after this devistation..

Mr. Chait credits Obama with 4 "best decisions:" health-care, bailouts, invading Libya, and killing bin Laden.

But health care and bailouts are just more of the same old collectivism that's been spreading since the late 19th century; you know - the morally vile presumption that some men's lives are the means to the ends of others (as determined by mob vote or some other "authority").

America is the only country founded on the opposite idea - that because each man's life belongs exclusively to him, government should exist solely to protect individual rights.

So Obama is the most consistently anti-American president. As such, he is merely another nail or two in the coffin built by minds more corrupt than his. If the US somehow escapes collapsing into another Euro nanny-state, then Obama will be nothing more than a properly reviled footnote.

Whatever this guy was drinking for the last four years, I'll have a double on the rocks...!

LOL...
That was quite possibly the shortest speech ever written by Lucky the Leg Humping Loser in his whole miserable existence.
Yes, it was as stupid and smarmy as ever and fraught with all his usual sucking-up and groveling and ass-kissing but we should count our blessings that it was just a brief foray to literary purgatory and not his usual safari into the depths of the droning, eternal, crashing boredom sector of hell he usually subjects us to.

Ridge, very succinct and accurate.

At least Chritie did not tell Obama to stay out of the states buisness.
Remember Katrina? Bush was ready to go in with help but the governor said she would handle it. Yeah right.
Bush was the one getting crapped on about it.

Agree with Maddog's assessment of the article.

But I have to comment on the Christie/Obama comment from LL: There are more important things to be done in NJ, NY, et al than snark about elections and make a huge natural disaster into political fodder. Christie is doing what he needs to do for his state and his electorate right now. He is not putting politics ahead of the needs of his people. My opinion on Obama is that if he would have been willing during the past 4 years to be as involved or to reach out across party lines to a Republican governor to assist, I'd have more respect for him and what he has done these past two days. When Texas was under severe drought in 2011, with wildfires burning across the state, killing people, burning homes, businesses, etc, he ignored pleas for federal disaster relief. When Nashville flooded in 2010, again, totally ignored. The only reason Obama is involved like this is for a photo op during his re-election attempt. Where was he when our ambassador was murdered? On a plane to Vegas for a fund raiser.

Very well said Piaceri. And those are real facts LL....!

Jarasan, thank you kindly, sir.
