Oh Jeebus Fu*kin Crispies with stick pins through hands and feet hangin on a popcicle stick for all the world to worship!
“will america be worth living in?”,”what will our coutnry be like after he is done?”,”he is destroying things so badly we may not recover.”
You sound as deranged as Ann Coulter or Glenn Beck!
And this article very nicely parrots the “he’s overexposed” meme from the wingnutery hate spewers!
Get a grip.
It is clear that the left/Lib/Prog Nirvana some early Obama supporters “hoped” for ain’t gonna happen. Looks like more luke warm, middle of the road, cautious crap we’ve come to expect from out Dem elected officials. But “will america be worth living in?”,”what will our coutnry be like after he is done?”,”he is destroying things so badly we may not recover.” PUUUUUHLEAZE!
Cohen is a reptile. Google some of the things he’s said about other Democrats.
he is destroying things so badly we may not recover.
Democrats in Congress are partner to what’s going on. It’s not all Obama.
I’m no fan of Cohen’s. That said, Obama’s handling of healthcare is disappointing to say the least.
hey what do u think of obama flying to cophenhagen to push for the oympics in chiccago? also check out michale moore on huffpo on healthcare. dean on olberman called the baucus bill the industry dream and warned again the admin is courting catsrophe over the pi…
t4h…you were talking about Bush when you were talking about destroying the country right?You were using your unique shorthand right?
I agree with other on Cohen. I am sure that Bob Somerby probably has a archive on his damage to Democrats. However his point about the plant in Iran is valid. It seems everyone knew about it but the people.I am not saying that we need to know,I’m just saying that whole performance by Obama,Brown and Sarkozy was acting.
To answer your question t4h re: the Olympics. Waste of time. They are going to go to Brazil.
kris — I agree it is a waste of time… but do you think Obama would go if he wasn’t already told that CHI would be awarded the olympics? I’m just amazed that the WH delayed announcing whether he would visit Denmark … because it was dependent upon HCR… but now he’s going? Like HCR is on track? I’m annoyed he’s going to Denmark. I think it looks frivolous given the gravity of situations facing us now. I know the visit will be short — but it just looks bad. Furthermore – I think Rio deserved the Olympics anyway –
Yes I do think he would. He is going to do everything he can for Chicago, he has to.
I still think Rio is going to get the Oly’s. It makes sense since South America is the only place that has never had them (I think I am right about that). The Olympics are a business first a foremost so they have to do everything they can to expand the interest. Besides Brazil has a pretty foxy President
Here are some of the concerns about Rio. and I know I should be patriotic and root for Chicago — But I say go Rio!!:

Rio’s Olympic concept follows its hosting plan for the 2007 Pan American Games.
However, some promised transport links did not materialize two years ago and the Olympic bid calls for capital investment of $11.1 billion — half earmarked for road, tunnel and rail projects — without allowing for typical delays and budget overruns.
The 2007 security plan would be repeated. Back then, 15,000 police, plus agents of the elite National Force, were deployed to calm the city’s streets for an estimated 700,000 visitors. The Pan-Ams were free of major incident and Rio points to its annual success welcoming the world for Carnival and New Year celebrations.
Yet the IOC harbors concerns. An evaluation team was sent to visit all four bid cities in the spring and its report noted that Chicago, Madrid and Tokyo are “capable of providing the level of security and safety required for the games.” Rio’s report card had no such praise. On Monday, it was announced that Brazil’s justice minister, Tarso Genro, will go to Copenhagen to address any lingering worries.
While Rio would face undoubted challenges to meet hosting standards, the IOC might decide that many teething troubles and pre-event anxieties could be borne by soccer’s world governing body FIFA.
When Brazil hosts the 2014 World Cup, the only sports event to rival the Summer Olympics for scale and global attention, Rio’s fabled Maracana stadium will be the venue for the final, and the city home to FIFA’s administration.
Plus it’s beautiful there. Beats Chicago hands down.
Senate debate on HCR on C-span now.
Somebody put up a C-SPAN thread!
You all listening or watching this? IT’S FANTASTIC!!!
