Bacevich begins his new book, THE LIMITS OF POWER: THE END OF AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM, with an epigraph taken from the Bible: "Put thine house in order." The moments of happiness we enjoy take us by surprise. It is not that we seize them, but that they seize us.

Dont know of many that particularly care for Pelosi or Dean either.I certainly dont like Pelosi.She ranks right there with Condoleeza Rice in my book.If Hillary wants any chance of running in 2012 she will have to back Obama.Otherwise the democratic committee will spurn her in 2012.This is not a guess its a fact.Neither party holds with bad losers.Its a black eye for them.If you want something done right,do it yourself.If you cant do it yourself,either do without or get used to mediocracy.

Re:BLLB--Pollie's Posturings! - 2008/08/24 11:19 pmI know that to some I may come off as sacroligous.That is not truly the case.I am a person that esteems priciple.That is the reason I hold the first amendment so dear.Whether I agree with what you say,I agree with your right to say it & the right to your opinion.I think no less of any of you for your political opinions.Thank God & our forfathers & past veterans that we still enjoy these rights.My father is a WWII veteran of nearly six years with many campaigns & commendations.I would never disrespect him in anyway.Hes 86 & still has his discharge uniform from the 5th Air Force,345th bomb group.Dad spent better part of 4yrs in the pacific theater of operations.Australia,Philipines & nearly 2yrs in New Guinea.Oh & for the record he was an enlisted man,not a draftee.He enlisted in 1940 & was kept for the duration of the war.He was discharged in Sept 45.If you want something done right,do it yourself.If you cant do it yourself,either do without or get used to mediocracy.

Pollie, when I started this thread I said that Biz hailed from beyond the orbit of Pluto.

Re:BLLB--Pollie's Posturings! - 2008/08/25 12:49 amA little more than a month after Operation Desert Storm was launched on Jan. 16–17, 1991, and a nation grateful at feeling the end of the “Vietnam syndrome” gave the president an 89% approval rating. However, the high rating fell as the year went on.
Here's some interesting numbers...
Highest approval rating
George W. Bush holds the record with 92% (10/8-9/2001 -- after the September 11 attacks). George H.W. Bush is second highest, with 89% (2/28/-3/3/1991 -- after the Gulf War). Harry S. Truman is third highest, with 87% (6/1-5/1945 -- after the End of World War II in Europe). Franklin D. Roosevelt is fourth highest, with 84% (1/8-13/1942 -- after the Attack on Pearl Harbor).
Lowest approval rating
George W. Bush holds the record, at 19% (2/16-19/2008 -- during the Iraq Insurgency). Harry S. Truman is second lowest, at 22% (2/9-14/1952 -- during the Korean War). Richard Nixon is third lowest, with 24% (7/12-15/1974, 8/2-5/1974 -- during the Watergate scandal). Jimmy Carter is fourth lowest, with 28% (6/29-7/2/79 -- during the Iran hostage crisis).
Biggest approval rating difference during the president term in office
George W. Bush holds the record with 73 percentage points. Harry S. Truman is second highest with 65 percentage points. George H.W. Bush is third highest with 60 percentage points. Jimmy Carter is fourth highest with 47 percentage points.
Highest disapproval rating
George W. Bush holds the record with 73% (6/19-23/2008, 4% undecided, LA Times/Bloomberg Poll. Harry S. Truman is second highest, with 67% (1/6-11/1952, 9% undecided, Gallup Poll). Richard Nixon is third highest, with 66% (1/4-7/1974, 10% undecided, Gallup Poll). George H.W. Bush is fourth highest, with 60% (7/31-8/2/92, 11% undecided, Gallup Poll).

Re:BLLB--Pollie's Posturings! - 2008/08/25 02:39 amEgo, that was a darn cool little clip you posted. (on three threads) I like Google's style.
I'm all "psych'd" out. (two psych-ish papers in one day, finished with 5 minutes to spare. I need therapy now.)
All I can say after reading the thread is...
Rayyy kinda ruled today. He's got the biggest guns, the best one liner ("You must be from Uranus") and the biggest heart (he had to leave to go get his daughter from work...what a good dad.)
Wrinks had the best boot in the butt rebuttals.
Pollies was the champion at holding his ground. Right or wrong, he knows what he believes. That's admirable.
Bllb rocks as a product and sucks as a stock still. (there ya go, biz.)
The proffessor kept us from feeling too smart all of a sudden...

That is what Bill and Hillary are doing now, they have $20M reasons why to kiss ass right now to pay that debt off. Also as you say, they must put up a good act so she can run and win in 2012, but all the Hillary supporters knew Obama wouldn't pick her or seriously consider her for VP. So NO ONE can tell me that the vast majority of staunch Hillary supporters aren't going to vote McCain. Pay back is a bitch, pun intended. Plenty enough backlash here to offset the 2% or 3% of vote Bob Barr might get.
McCain 2008 Hillary 2012

Re:BLLB--Pollie's Posturings! - 2008/08/25 07:46 amIf Obama can't carry that rural white catholic vote in PA & Ohio, he is done, period. We all know he can't carry the catholic vote being pro choice and his loving Rev Wright for 20+ years. He also will get his azz beat in Florida, all places where Hillary beat him by double digits any way you slice it.
I never believed in my life during the 21st century, that preachings like Rev Wright could be going on here in the United States for the world to see and buy DVD's of his sermons. Then I listened to Obamas two books with many numerous degrading white remarks. That immediately made my stomach sick and disqualified Obama in any way for any political position in this country. He should be running for an anti American, white hating, govt position with some other country. He will not get my vote under any circumstances. I'm voting for the American, there is only one true red blooded American in this election. Then I can hope for a REAL viable alternative in the Independent party, if not, I'll be voting for Hillary hopefully in 2012.

When do we get to the part when you defend Obama? I've only seen the attacks on everyone and everything else. Where's Obama? I don't know so I hope you do. I have found one thing true in life.The best damn defense is a good offense.When attacked,attack back.If I start defend Obama,then McCain gets a free ride.Sorry fellows I dont play by the dirty tricks play book.No free rides.You should remember the longer a man has been a politican the more skeletons he has in his closet.This has a cementary full.So fire away.im willing to call a truce,but no hit & run parting shots.
I'm still waiting. Maybe the Democratic convention can produce a speaker that knows if Obama has actually done anything.
When asked to sight an occasion when he reached out to the other party (THE GREAT UNIFIER) said, "I WORKED WITH JOHN MCCAIN ON ETHICS REFORM". As an accomplished political historian, you'll know that he bailed and got a written rebuke from McCain.
If Obama's efforts to find some ethics is all he has, maybe you know something he doesn't know. Enlighten me.I may not always be right but I'm never wrong

You've turned into a nasty bugger. I'm starting to worry about all you "COASTERS", left coast and east. Is it the ocean air?
The political machinery is comprised of rich arrogant urbanites that only recognize the heartland from 35,000 feet, as they fly over. Obama is a laugh out loud joke, Hillary is still a bitch and McCain is the liberal necessity to win an election and avoid a national disaster.
Our economy has weak fundamentals? That's a crock. For 2 years the idiot Bush has blocked all the Democrat's great proposals? Double crock. We're in recession and depression is coming soon? From the lips of the party that lives off gloom and doom. America is weak, cowardly and hated throughout the world? That arguement flies, in the heartland, right after you get you treasonous ass kicked.
Urbanites need to get out more. They might stumble over America.I may not always be right but I'm never wrong
