I, for one, am glad to see that so many Obama supporters are guided by a spirit of aggressive entrepreneurialism.

They can just get a job from the government now, and that will make all their activities "legal".

These reminded me...did anybody see the one and only guy who voted to not impeach Blago? He looked and talked like some seedy, shady, homeless black guy. This is someone who can win an election?

They all voted for Obama, and were regestered as democrats by ACORN.

These are probably Obama campaign workers with extensive criminal records.

Turns out voting for "The One" doesn't change the physical reality that you're a useless liberal criminal. As I'm typing this, I just saw that Obama is going to close gitmo on his first day in office. Maybe there truly is hope for the above pictured losers. Can they make arresting black libs a "hate crime"?

The Gov't can save money by using the Mug Shot of each on their new Community Activist ID badges since all are now qualified for employment in Chicago area or National Obamanation politics.

The diffrence between the 1930's "WORKS PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION" and the upcoming "OBAMA WORKS PROGRAM":
Roosevelt's plan was intended to be TEMPORARY and the construction and improvements on public roads was NESSISARY to make up for the neglect durring the increese in motor traffic. These roads and the works done on public lands benefit us today.
Obama's attempt at re-creating "The New Deal" with roads and bridges may be at least 95% UNNESSISARY, while his energy policies MIGHT even decrease road traffic. A better plan would be to upgrade the nucelar powere plants that were closed to modern standards, upgrade and expand older oil refinerys, alow oil drilling in known oil fields IN SPITE of eccological hysteria. This will lessen our dependance on foreign oil, as well as preventing the hijacking of tankers and loaded tankers breaking open on reefs, which will be good for the enviorment.
As for the Arabs, they can take the oil formerly sold to the US and sell it to Europe, meaning that they will no longer be dependant on Russia's neo-imperialist/communist politics.

Joe the Plumber gives media a lashing in Israel
During the election campaign, Wurzelbacher (who supported McCain) warned Jewish voters in America that voting for President-elect Barack Obama would be a death blow to Israel, saying, "Obama has offered to sit down with the enemies of Israel."
But in Sderot, he seemed just as intent on teaching a thing or two to the media. "Do you think this is normal, the way you cover this conflict and give away information to your enemy?" he asked the journalists that gathered around him.
"It makes me sick to see the way you behave - you guys need to be protective of your homes, your children, your family."
"I am angry," he said, "and this is why I came here."

Guys we must admit McCain was a very weak candidate. We didn't want him ourselves. Today I see McCain bumper stickers and think "what about him was so thrilling?".
I am glad that the candidate that idiots wanted was the one that won. They will now see firsthand that turning the country into Cuba circa 1960 will not change their lives, pay their mortgages, or give them hope that they should have had themselves.
As Republicans, we can let them run the country into the ground because we have our own abilities, drive and convictions. We will always prosper because that is what we do. They will complain and beg because that is what they do.
This is why I view this Presidency as a simple reminder to the ignorant that America is different - and succeeds - for a reason. It is not Europe or the Middle East. It is great because our founders chose a different path than what the socialists and traitors of the Dem party desire for this land.

They're all staunch Reaganite conservatives, working inside the belly of the beast to destroy the Dhimmicrat Party (I'm a "beautiful dreamer," I know -- kudos to Stephen Foster). Would that it were true . . .
RoR: Don't know about the Git'mo thing now -- seems little Barry has actually realized something (managed to penetrate his tiny little brain): "If I let these assholes out of Git'mo, and one of them is caught on camera suicide-bombing a school bus full of children in D.C., then who do you think the American people, not to mention the families of the dead, are going to blame?" Oh, I know he'll try to put it off on the evil Buuuuuuusssssssshhh, since he's the one who incarcerated these innocent boy scouts in the first place, turning them into monstrous killing machines, but that ain't gonna fly, Barry -- it's all on you, pal, as of eight days from today!
You wanted it -- you got it!!!

15 Dos and Donts of progressives

Never Ask A Homo for Directions - Scientific American
In a study reported in Behavioral Neuroscience in 2005, Rahman and his colleagues found that gay men are like women in that they are more dependent on left-right landmark strategies for navigation (e.g., “turn right at the church”) than on Euclidian orientation strategies preferred by straight men (e.g., “the bar is 5 miles in an easterly direction”). And in a follow-up study published in 2008 in the journal Hippocampus, Rahman and his coauthor, psychologist Johanna Koerting, also from the University of East London, found that heterosexual males are unique from gay men, straight women, and gay women in that they perform significantly faster on a task requiring them to scout out novel terrain in order to find a hidden search target.

Children in a public school form human mosaic of the Dear One. Not in North Korea... in Chicago. So much for the separation of cult and state.

Stephen,
I'd expect the author to be charged with homophobia, but his name is "Rahman", so no problem there. The co-author might be in trouble though, she's probably a "typical white person".

In case you didn't catch Rush yesterday, he told a joke:
A poll was conducted among Chicago politicians. It found that 85% of them had had sex in the shower. What of the other 15%? They hadn't been to jail yet.

GWB, WATERBOARDING, AND AMERICA’S FUTURE
And so the end is near for George W. Bush’s two terms as President of the United States, after eight years of uneasy peace and bloody war, of unprecedented economic success and financial meltdown, of consolations and controversies, of applause and derision.
All in all, and regardless of distorted and biased reports from the liberal mass media, Bush 2 hasn’t had all that bad a run.
Fred Barnes of the Weekly Standard listed Bush’s ten greatest achievements, citing as his first accomplishment his refusal to buy into the Kyoto Accords on the man-made global warming fraud, a policy which our new president will no doubt reverse to the great detriment of the United States. That Bush decision must be considered a very notable if only temporary accomplishment because of that anticipated reversal.
However, Bush’s second great success, according to Barnes’ estimation, should be at the top of any list of GWB’s great deeds.
As Barnes writes of Bush’s second great achievement, ”Second, enhanced interrogation of terrorists. Along with use of secret prisons and wireless eavesdropping, this saved American lives. How many thousands of lives? We’ll never know. But, as Charles Krauthammer said recently, ‘Those are precisely the elements which kept us safe and which have prevented a second attack.’ " (http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/015/986rockt.asp).
One of the few who were subjected to waterboarding was Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, “mastermind” of 9/11, . . .
