It's about time, Obama! Finally, you grow a pair!

Given that Hitchens is dying of esophageal cancer, the primary cause of which is excessive alcohol consumption, it's probably advice he should have taken.
No disrespect to Hitchens, but he really made his own bed.

We already covered your sanctimony on Hitch's cancer here:

BTW: He lived 60 years without any medical issues. His doctors give him another 10, possibly. Do you want to live forever?

Well, I suppose you could break it in that time

Can't say your comments are particularly incisive regarding the U.S. economy or politics.
 
Cic.. you're all over the place. First, you try to bring up Hitchen's cancer as an emotional appeal, then you're dismissing that same emotional appeal with your last post. You make no sense at all. Is your sophistry that severe that you don't really care about being consistent or coherent as long as you "win?"

He appears to be paid quite handsomely by The Nation, Slate, Vanity Fair, Atlantic Monthly, and his book publishers for his "alcohol induced" musings.

Does being sick exempt a guy from criticism? Does it negate the fact that Hitchens was an alcoholic and, in many ways, a hedonist?

No. But he wasn't being criticized, merely insulted.

Strange. The most gifted writers seem to be plagued with those qualities.
 
I suppose it takes real political leadership to blame the nations woes on the opposing party when you have control of both the house and senate:rolleyes:

Right because there aren't over 400 bills stuck in the senate due to filibusters.....
 
Tis a sad sad day for American men everywhere when that softhanded Nancy is talkin tough and beta males think that's what it is to "grow a pair".

I've heard less whingin from an elementary school girl with a skinned knee.

Also - don't refer to African Americans as a mongrel race and maybe you won't get treated like a dog. You just opened the door

oh Bammy use that car metaphor again! That's prime material baby.

WRONG! The first year was with the Shrub's budget...

and of course Bammy,so horrified by all the red ink contained within that budget,voted against it in his capacity as a US Senator.

No? well let's hope he played true to form and voted present.

No? dammit what's wrong with him? He voted for it and what's that? No! He actually praised it? Shameless...

Obama Statement on the Senate's Passage of the FY 2009 Budget

Washington DC -- Sen. Obama today released a statement on the Senate's passage of the FY 2009 Federal Budget:

"In Illinois and throughout the country, Americans share common hopes and common struggles. They are worried about keeping their jobs and being able to pay record gas prices and stay ahead of their mortgages and credit card bills and still have enough left over to make ends meet. They want to know that they'll have health care when they get sick - not just for themselves, but for their children and elderly parents. They want to know that a quality education and a college degree are within reach for all Americans. They want to retire with security and dignity. And they want to know that our government is doing everything it can to keep our nation safe and secure.

"The budget passed by the Senate tonight makes significant progress in getting our nation's priorities back on track. After years of the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, this year's budget helps restore fiscal responsibility in Washington, and provides tax relief for the middle class and low-income families who need help most. It includes an expansion in the Child Tax Credit that I have fought for and makes marriage penalty relief permanent. And it rejects the President's drastic cuts in important domestic programs.

"We need change in this country, and this budget is an important step in helping bring it about. I commend Chairman Conrad for his extraordinary leadership in moving this resolution forward and moving America's fiscal policies in the right direction."

What? No emotional appeal to leftysergeant, just sharing information about Hitch's recent health issues.

The Charnel Expanse has not made any emotional appeal about Hitch.

Can you make sense out what you posted?

Sure they've made emotional appeals but only in one direction, unlike you.

That descriptor only works if Obama himself criticized the 2009 budget.

But please, don't let reality get in the way of your pithy bon mots. It's like having Oscar Wilde post here.

Don't be silly, to be sure. The census comes along every ten years and hires temps to help gather data. Which also happened in 2010. Yet you criticize Obama for it. That's just plain dumb. I have every confidence that Obama has not spent 5 seconds thinking about conducting the census. You'd be better off blaming Thomas Jefferson.
 
lets be honest here folks: the "Great Recession" is really the Bush Recession.
