Congressional approval rating--14%. Way less than half of Obama's approval rating. What do you fools that think you know something about foreign policy have to actually offer about pursuing an exit strategy in Afghanistan? |

No need to agonize over an exit strategy for Afghanistan, we already have one..........
"This November, you get to decide the future of the Afghanistan war," Obama told some 13,000 people at a rally on the campus of the University of Colorado Boulder. "We are bringing our troops home from Afghanistan. And I've set a timetable. We will have them all out of there by 2014." |

Rep. Michael Grimm, R-NY, plead guilty Tuesday to one count of felony tax evasion and will also submit a “statement of facts” that admits to all the illegal conduct alleged in the 20-count indictment filed against the Staten Island Republican in April.
Grimm also said he would not resign his seat. “As long as I’m able to serve, I’m going to serve."
Prosecutors plan to ask a judge to sentence Grimm to the maximum 24 to 36 month jail term; his defense suggested a year to 18 months.
When Michael Grimm walks into Brooklyn federal court today, he will not be placing his hand on a bible and swearing an oath. Instead, the Staten Island Republican who once vowed to fight “tooth and nail” against his 20-count criminal indictment will plead guilty to one felony charge of tax evasion.
Grimm had been charged with hiding more than $1 million in sales and wages and with hiring undocumented immigrants at a New York City health food restaurant he opened soon after he quit his job as an FBI agent. |

A model citizen, law enforcement agent, and GOP legislator.

He's doing the same thing at Gitmo, releasing its pampered residents in twosies and threesies behind the scenes until he hits the magic number -- reportedly 100 -- at which he can unilaterally throw open the doors, give them airplane tickets to whatever terrorist nest they choose, and slap 'em on the fanny on their way back to ISIS. |

Merry Christmas Gentlemen!! what a year, as the Obama bull rages on. The Dems may have been bitch slapped in Novemebr, but Obama seems to have found his footing, now that he's a lame duck. Anyways, this market rager, and the 5% GDP, and rapidly improving economy is good news. Cheers. |

Silly me; I overlooked the obvious, as presented by military analysts: Now that we're BFF with the Castros, he plans to just give them the keys to Gitmo and crow, "Well, another 2012 campaign promise I kept: get rid of Gitmo in 2014." |

No surprises here. The only note in the far right song is "whatever Obama does is wrong."

No actual thinking required. Fox and talk radio ring the bell, the right salivates.
I guess you missed the part where the chant "kill the cops" reported on Fox was actually the result of fraudulent editing? Just like you couldn't find a reason in the millions of stop and frisk harassment for people of color to dislike the cops? It's all Obama's fault when you don't bother to think and only hate. You seemed to have missed the spirit of the season. |
