I'm pissed I can't say "I'm out like Mandela" anymore
I don't drive a rig
I still think Christopher Walken had the best death scene in "The Rundown"
So...if this was a republican president doing the same (and they have), then you'd still be against it?
I remember when I was 7 and Reagan had a TV special where little kids got to ask him questions like the kids were reporters. He claimed that he liked reading the Spiderman comic in the newspaper and wondered how he would get away from the mutant wrestler. Next week the wrestler was shot in the back by a cop and killed. Since then I have opposed staged White House crap.
There is no difference between cancelling the old policy and making them buy a new more expensive one, and "upgrading people into a policy more compliant with federal law".
Their old plans were illegal, according to rules Sebelius made up with Obama's approval.
The old plan died. Period.
You are forbidden by law to save money by excluding services inappropriate to your gender, for instance.
You had "doubt" about whether the President should freeze out the press and use his own photographers?
Howsabout NO, you crazy Dutch bastard?

Aleksey Yaroshevsky, Bill Dod, Clashes, Court, Police, Politics, Protest, Scandal, Security, Ukraine, Violence, YanukovichThousands of pro-EU demonstrators chanting ‘Revolution!’ protested on ‘Maidan’ square in Kiev on Sunday, despite a court-imposed ban on rallies. Over 200 people – both protesters and police – were injured in the ensuing clashes.
Follow RT's LIVE UPDATES on protests in Kiev.
Chanting protesters displaced metal barriers that were installed by police on Independence Square, also known as Maidan (Ukrainian for "square"), as more were expected to flock into the capital from the regions. Ukrainian media said that some 700,000 people gathered, calling for the Ukrainian government and the president to resign over rejecting EU association earlier this week.
By late evening tensions seemed to be dying down in the country’s capital, although the situation is still tense, RT’s Aleksey Yaroshevsky reports from Kiev. He estimates that there are still up to 20,000 people protesting at the central square.
The Kiev City State Administration was occupied by protesters and vandalized with a sign saying “Revolution Headquarters.”
The raging crowd, which split into several columns, also stormed the Mayor’s offices, breaking windows and opening the doors from the inside, Itar-Tass reported, citing local media.The protesters set up what they described as the temporary headquarters of the united opposition. The Trade Union building near ‘Maidan’ square has also been taken by the ‘provocateurs’ bearing emblems of the opposition parties. Other reports claim that the Ukrainian Cabinet of Ministers building was stormed.

Also late on Sunday, dozens of protesters attempted to deface the monument of Russian revolutionary leader Vladimir Lenin on Kiev’s Bessarabskya Square, but were repelled by the police who stopped them from succeeding. Brief clashes between the sides followed.
Teargas, stun grenades as police clash with protesters at Ukrainian Presidential HQ
Hundreds gathered at the Ukrainian Presidential Headquarters compound attempting to storm the building. Riot police arrived at the scene. As protesters tried to break through police lines, clashes broke out. Smoke surrounded the compound, amid reports of gunfire, the sounds of explosions and teargas. Live broadcasts showed that security forces were stoned and firebombed, responding with stun grenades.
City officials said that at least 165 protesters were injured in Sunday clashes, 109 of whom were hospitalized. Nearly 160 police officers have sought medical help as well.
On Sunday the administrative court in Kiev complied with a suit from the city mayor's office, prohibiting rallies on two major city squares until January 7 – including Independence Square – and three streets in downtown Kiev. That means that until Orthodox Christmas any kind of demonstration will be illegal and suppressed by law enforcement.
In the first half of the day, police opted to leave the scene of persistent demonstrations following accusations that law enforcement had used disproportionate force on Saturday while dispersing an opposition rally in downtown Kiev.

As no one had been guarding either the mayor’s office or Maidan Square, some activists from the crowd urged other demonstrators to keep order and watch out for provocateurs earlier on Sunday. On the way to Maidan, a column of protesters detained a group of provocateurs who attempted to vandalize the mayor’s office by breaking the windows. A group of young masked people dressed in black wearing orange safety helmets was surrounded by opposition activists, who tore the masks off their faces to take photos of the youths for further identification. It turned out that the group was being led by opposition journalist, Tatyana Chornovil.

Police Chief steps downIt was announced on Sunday that the Kiev police chief, Valery Koryak, resigned following accusations that law enforcement used disproportionate force while dispersing an opposition rally in downtown Kiev.
Early on Saturday morning, about 1,000 officers of the special police task force, Berkut, dispersed protesters on Independence Square, putting an end to the rally that had been going on there for a week. Some protesters resisted violently, with 35 of them finding themselves in custody, but were released by noon the same day. Seven people were hospitalized while over 30 in total sustained injuries in Saturday’s turmoil.
The actions of the police in Kiev raised a storm of criticism from the US and the EU. Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich also condemned the use of force against the demonstrators and ordered the prosecutor general to investigate the situation.

Ukraine’s Prosecutor General, Viktor Pshonka, ordered an investigation into the lawfulness of the use of impact munitions by police and also to verify whether there were provocateurs among the protesters.
“People were rallying on Maidan legally. This is their constitutional right and the task of law enforcement in the first place is to ensure realization of that right,” the prosecutor general said.
In the meantime the former police boss, Valery Koryak, said that police had to use force against aggressive protesters, which threatened the “life and health of the police officers”.
He also said that following night brawls between protesters and riot police 12 criminal cases have been opened against people who opposed the police with force and attempted to seize public buildings.
Opposition unite against President YanukovichThe city of Kiev is a hive of activity today - thousands of cars are honking their horns as they pass through the city center, and people are getting ready for a new opposition action.
Three opposition parties united to conduct a “popular assembly” in the capital on Sunday despite the ban. The new opposition rally in Kiev kicked off at noon, immediately gathering up to 1,500 people in Mikhailovskaya Square, which has seen no restrictions for public actions.
The protesters were chanting slogans “Glory to Ukraine!” and “United we are strong!”
Up to 10,000 supporters of pro-EU integration from western parts of the country are reportedly making their way to Kiev to take part in the rally.
In the city of Lvov in western Ukraine, where pro-EU activists have always been particularly active, the authorities have announced they have no plans to stop the anti-government rally. They also announced that a general strike would take place on Monday.
The boxing champion, Vitaly Klitschko, who now heads the liberal UDAR party, addressed the Lvov rally in person, calling citizens to go to the capital in support of the opposition’s assembly against the government.
The protesters started to gather near Kiev University, next to the monument to poet Taras Shevchenko and then marched to Maidan, with tight security looking on.

But those Kievans who live close to the country’s main protest scene are not happy at all with this disturbance of their peace. Besides that, the protest organizers haven’t arranged for a sufficient quantity of portable toilets, so residents around Independence Square have been complaining about the “obnoxious odor in the neighborhood”, as Ukrainian bloggers put it.
Authorities warn against further destabilizationPrime Minister Nikolay Azarov has warned the protesters that if they violate the law and destabilize the situation in the country that they would be held responsible.
“They must have not read the agreement (with the EU) and they rely on myths,” Azarov said, explaining why the Ukrainian government finally had to reject the EU proposal.
Politicians and leadership have to take decisions without emotion and appraise the reality correctly, Azarov said. He pointed out that protests might worsen the economic situation in the country, in particular the exchange rate of the national currency.

In the meantime in a specially issued statement, the Ukrainian president promised to do everything within his powers to speed up integration with the EU.
“We’re Europeans and our development is predestined historically,” Viktor Yanukovich said, stressing that Ukraine should be defending its national interests to remain “a big and truly independent” state on the political map of Europe, an equal partner of the European nations.
Last week the Ukrainian president shocked Brussels by refusing to sign an association agreement with the EU. Kiev postponed the move, citing the vulnerability of its economy, and triggering massive pro-EU protests in many Ukrainian cities.

This was predicted in the 1990s
are you a 14 year old girl
He didn't lie. But he was severely out of the loop on the issue. After all, he didn't run the Insurance companies. The insurance companies made the decision to drop the policies, not Obama. Don't blame Obama for the Insurance companies final decision.
The final decision was Obama's. The law didn't set minimum coverage standards. The law said the Secretary of Health and Human Services would draw them up. Sebelius chose to invent "minimum" standards that clearly don't match what the majority of Americans paid for. That's why you can't keep your plan.
Obama has total authority under the constitution to call her and say, "Tear that up and start over."
Nor was he "out of the loop" on that. 108 Catholic bishops began hollering at him about mandatory birth control since Sebelius proposed those rules. Some of them got a White House meeting on the issue. He understood very well that nobody who had a plan that didn't cover unwanted goodies, would lose their plan.
Those same companies could have easily have "Helped" and worked on plans to "Upgrade" current members into newer policies that would have been within the law.
Ohh...you mean, like, you lose your plan and have to buy a new one you don't want? What do you think everyone is complaining about?
Truman celebrated the liberation of Western Europe too
i'd say sent it to bash.org but they'd just call the FBI
a website would be a hit
but dpenguins would just sue our asses
not even for the money
for the professional reputation of being so asshole that he'd sue his own fansite
Bill Clinton would defeat Hillary
he fits with the liberal Republican party these days, they should nominate him
the son of a bitch would run too
so are zombies.
you still take the headshot
Key has decided to be the Obatroll
Well let's see,
shyster
wifey
Senator
Secretary of State
that's about it. What does your research show I missed?
of course Hillary scores very high when she isn't on TV campaigning. The record shows she can blow a Presidential nomination.
We will instead create the focus of her ENTIRE career on the single event where a U.S. ambassador was killed...in the line of duty for god and country, and that SHE was fully responsible for that death.
The new Democrat mantra -- of COURSE we suck, DECENT people don't care about that
She has no career apart from 2 terms as senator and her stint as Secretary of State. Other than that she was a private shyster, and some guy's wife. Where's the core of her career, her time at Rose Law Firm juggling bribes?
Key's rantings are offered by the highest authorities in the Obama regime -- they pretend they have no authority, no capability and no responsibility to thwart terrorist attacks. The political blame goes to the people who die screaming for help, the assholes. It's a wonder we aren't bombed on daily.
Hillary Clinton can't run a federal department.
Hillary Clinton can't explain why she can't run a federal department.
Hillary Clinton blames everyone who wants to know why she can't run a federal department.
i thought everything dpenguins said was basically a violation
Hey if a terrorist cell says, "We will attack the americans!"...this tells you exactly where they will attack? OH COME ON! Even you gotta figure that the only thing any of those damn embassies can do is go to a "heightened alert status". And even then your not going to know if it's going to be a domestic or foreign attack.
You're saying it's coincidence that Ambassador Stevens asked for more security in Benghazi, and it was Benghazi got hit? Maybe he was psychic?
Pretty sure 100% of attacks on US embassies are foriegn attacks.
Are they going to takeover another plane and crash it? 150-160+ nations on earth, and the United States has HOW MANY embassies world fricken wide? Will the attack occur on land or at sea? Maybe plant explosives on a small skiff and ram it into a destroyer in the mediteranian area? Will the attack occur on american soil? Europe? Middle-east?
"We will attack the americans." <-----THIS is going to tell you when? Where? How?
They've tried all that, so, sure, they'll keep doing it. Not sure what this has to do with Ambassador Stevens asking for more security from Hillary, and not getting it, and Hillary lying about it being a terror attack.
As for "running the gauntlet", means they had to weave the streets with the possibility that there are snipers between start position to destination, and running in a random pattern so as not to focus attention on them. It IS called "running a gauntlet" by both the intelligence and military community.
except she said she got shot at, at the airport. So I don't know what the military jargon about other places, has to do with the lies Hillary tells about a visit she made with dozens of people, none of whom say it happened the way she said it did.
Even if the a-hole of an ambassador
Sure. He died because Hillary pooped on the job, so, he's an asshole. Funny how many assholes have been in Hillary's life. Vince Foster, etc.
asked for more money or more security, doesn't mean he's going to get it.
Not with Hillary running it, he won't! Yer damn straight about that!
A determined enemy isn't going to give a damn if you got 2 guards in the compound or 20. They're still going to attack, and it's not 100% assured that there would be no casualties.
Right, that's why the proper response to a heightened threat in an area is a rescue party outside the threat zone that will interrupt the attack. You see that. I see that. Hillary doesn't get it. And lies about it. To the widows. At the funeral.
So you butt-munches attacking Hillary over a SINGLE attack vs. the attack on our embassies in PRIOR YEARS when she wasn't in charge???....
And how many succeeded in killing the US ambassador before Benghazi?
Pretty much shows me that you don't like her just because either she's a woman
Pure speculation, see yesterday's post
she's a democrat
That's pretty much a declaration of FUBAR
or you just don't know the score when it comes to political manuevering by the republican party to pin blame
Hillary Clinton could become a Republican tomorrow -- and the corrupt bastards would welcome her -- and I wouldn't vote for her. She's as bad as Mccain.
the son of a bitch had it coming
Sophia Loren would make a good president
http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/wp-con … n-horz.jpg
Hillary would not
break them too!
Tristan Gough found enough Chris Farley movie clips to make a movie about Rob Ford
Well Boehner came out and said they're going forward with amnesty, and McConnell is promising to give the Tea Party a sock in the nose. So, I think Dems could sweep it and voter turnout will be like 12% of eligible voters
