Wise move or not?

Bad advisors, or is Obama less concerned about crossing party lines than advertised?

I'm not so sure Obama calling people out and the infamous Nixon list can be readily compared. Nixon was paranoid ('course, when you set up a burglary and then cover it up, that's expected), and some people on his list were probably there because they looked cross-eyed at him years earlier...I mean, Paul Newman?? Carol Channing? Bill Cosby? Check it out. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_...ical_opponents

Contrast that with Beck calling Obama a racist with a deep seated hatred of whites -- happily ignoring the fact that Obama's mother was white, as were the grandparents to raised him -- or Limbaugh criticizing him heavily for how he takes a deep breath (a secret govt. plot to steal our air)...I figure that if, and i mean IF, Obama has a list of people to keep an eye on, it's far more justified than the one Tricky Dick came up with.

What's more important is not a list itself...it's what's done with it. It's one thing to be able to track people who give trouble politically so you can form an effective counter-strategy....quite another to go McCarthy on that same person because you THINK they might be trouble.

I loved this quote:

House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) said the administration was “targeting those who don’t immediately fall in line” with “Chicago-style politics” aimed at “shutting the American people out and demonizing their opponents.”

Boehner is quite familiar with those tactics seeing as that is entire basis of his political history. Pot meet kettle. Wow... the nerve of the adminstration; stealing those tactics like that...

Allah Hu Akbar!

I can't wait until Rush Limbaugh, Michelle Bachmann and Glenn Beck are rounded up and thrown into a FEMA re-education camp!
Then we can finally have the Islamo-socialist paradise that ACORN, Bill Ayers, the ghost of Chairman Mao and I have been secretly conspiring to create!

Did you like the quotes from the democrats that thought it was a mistake also?

I think you and PF are suffering from some sort of liberal version of Tourette's syndrome...kinda randomly spit out "Beck!" or "Limbaugh!" everytime you speak.

As opposed to the wingnut Tourette's syndrome which is characterized by randomly spitting out "ACORN!", "VAN JONES!", and "SOCIALISM!", right?

-5 points for lack of originality. Sorry.

I question your qualifications and ability to discern originality.

OK, not that I agree with the premise that Obama hates whites, but---what about this actually makes it impossible for him to do so?
