The Legion of Doom couldn't do a better job destroying America than the Obama Administration is doing
In the comic books, Lex Luthor ran for President in 2000 as the Tomorrow Party candidate, facing off against Al Gore and George W. Bush, promising hope and change and all sorts of marvelous technological advancements (renewable energy, Kryptonite-green technology, fixing all broken souls, lowering the oceans, fulfilling dreams, lemonade and pixie dust). Through the efforts of community organizing groups in large cities like Gotham and Metropolis, and the unprecedented turnout of not only deceased but completely imaginary voters, Luthor won the presidency to media applause — and promptly began a systematic plan to bring America to its knees, using various cataclysms of his own design as cover for general nefarity, all with his ultimate obsessive goal of killing Superman in mind.
Because that’s who Lex Luthor is.
As absurd as this truly all is, Lex Luther took several years in the comic books to actually achieve any of his crazed, demented goals. And he had Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and various other spandex and vinyl fetishists thwarting his every move.
Obama’s been in office for 59 days now, and has already caused more havoc and damage than the Legion of Doom ever dreamed of.
He, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Tim Geithner, Steven Chu, Ray LaHood, Eric Holder, Rahm Emanuel, Chris Dodd, Barney Frank, Claire McCaskill, the Kennedy Family, and other terrible Democrats in Washington put Luthor, Catwoman, Toyman, The Joker, The Riddler, Captain Cold, and the rest of the comic books’ rogue’s gallery to shame in their greed, waste, graft, corruption, ineptitude, and grandiose ill-conceived-and-poorly-implemented-schemes.
If the Legion of Doom purposefully wanted to tank the American economy from within, it would not do a better job terrorizing Wall Street, small investors, and average working Americans than the Obama Administration. Doom agents would conjure giant spiders or robot penguins to attack Wall Street head-on, while Joker’s harlequin gang giggled its way through bank after bank, looting as much as they could stuff into comicly large purses and laughable gift bags.
Those criminal clowns have nothing on Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, who rammed through a Trillion Dollar Spending Bill that no one, NOT A SINGLE DAMN SOUL, actually read in the House or Senate before voting for it. Catwoman never stole so much in one sitting. Toyman never squandered so much treasure on anything so absurd and ridiculous. The Riddler never snuck in so many tricks and surprises (like Chris Dodd’s bonus provisions for corporate executives).
It’s all mind-boggling.
Giethner at Treasury seems determined to chase every last investor away from the market. Dr. Steven Chu, at Energy, has not only declared war on coal producing states like West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, but seems hell-bent on starting a trade war with China over carbon emissions tariffs. Kathleen Sebelius, a woman who drove the entire state of Kansas into the ground, is now poised to oversee what will amount to more than $2 TRILLION in healthcare spending. Sebelius has never done anything to warrant confidence and faith in her abilities strong enough to put her in charge of a lemonade stand, let alone reform of America’s Byzantine healthcare system. Why not just give this job to Solomon Grundy, who was born on a Monday, and who, like Sebelius, has all the enthusiasm, energy, and wherewithal of someone who’s been buried in the ground somewhere for half a dozen years.
Every day, there’s a new lie told, and more blame shifted around.
No one reads the legislation the Obama Administration passes, which is deliberate, so that later they can all claim they knew nothing about any of the shocking things that have been going on behind the scenes. “The reason I don’t read the bills I force through the House,” we imagine Pelosi purring, “is so that I’m not responsible for them after people find out what I have done. I very rarely read anything other than clothing labels, and that’s just so I don’t get stuck with any more acrylic. I learned that from Caroline Kennedy who is, you know, so smart about avoiding two things in life: hard work, and acrylic. You know.”
If characters in comic books behaved like Democrats in Washington these days, you’d stop buying those titles, as they’d strain even the most twisted rules of logic in BizarroWorld, and would be impossible to believe.
‘The stock market sank that much, that fast?”
“The national debt tripled in 60 days?”
“The Stimulus Bill wasn’t really a stimulus after all, but just a poorly disguised trillion dollar payback to disparate Democratic constituencies hungry for pork projects after being largely shut out of the trough for the last 8 years?”
Obama’s “stimulus bill” is more wildly successful than anything Lex Luthor ever dreamed up, that’s for sure. Though he employed a classic Legion of Doom tactic (naming something innocuous or even positive, but all the while intending it for another purpose entirely — where Operation Smiley Happy Kitten is really a space-based death ray hovering somewhere in orbit over the moon), Obama was able to pass legislation that in no way actually relates to “stimulus”, but instead commits the federal government to generations of budget deficits, for wasteful pork projects that will entrench themselves and refuse to die long after the CRISIS! Obama and the media brayed about abates on its own (several years later than it would have, without discredited Keynesian interference).
And, once the Trillion Dollar Obama Spending Bill passed, suddenly Obama changed his tune on the CRISIS!, repurposing it as “not as bad as we thought it was”. Good thing we spent One Trillion Dollars on things we don’t need and aren’t able to pay for anyway.
But, Lex Luthor’s plots and schemes all had a larger purpose than just sinking California into the ocean or raising new continents from the Atlantic made from ugly, burnt crystals; they were all designed with an ultimate super-goal in mind, which was forever the elimination of Superman.
What’s Obama’s ultimate goal in all of this?
The elimination of America as we know it?
The creation of New France?
It seems like crisis after crisis is manipulated to keep his poll numbers up for the next four years, so he can land a second term, with the MSM facilitating this in every way they can. Obama clearly loves the perks of the presidency, and all the pomp and circumstance, but does he really care about the American people, or the economic suffering many now share? Does he see his Treasury Secretary is making the economy worse each day he’s on the job, or that his Energy Secretary could inadvertantly start a trade war with China that would resonate instantly on a global level? Does Obama care that no one of any competence oversees the billions being spent by the Transportation and Health and Human Services Departments?
Or is everything he does not about the best interests of Americans, but for some other purpose, personal and all his own, that’s not clear to anyone else?
That’s the question at hand and, unfortunately, unlike anything asked by The Riddler in the comic books, this question actually matters, with real-world consequences unlike anything the Legion of Doom could have come up with.
Comic books are funny and exciting.
The Golden Age of Obama is disconcerting and worrisome.
Where’s Superman when you need him, we ask, thanking Heaven at least we’ve got Wonder Woman in Foggy Bottom keeping the whole world from going to absolute Hell.

Don’t even start on foreign policy. It’s in total shambles.
Obama is a hardheaded narcissist. He’s dining on wagyu steak (something new I’ve never heard of, which I’ll probably never taste) while the rest of us eat TV dinners. This is the same shit Lenin pulled, but Americans are too crotchety to let it stand.
I know there are those that will argue with me, but I still think he’s inexperienced and hasn’t realized the ideals the Dem party has morphed into over the past 50 years (Those are: socialism is great, Che was a wonderful man and America sucks.) don’t work in the real world. He’s an ideologue of course, but I don’t believe he has enough experience to temper his policies like FDR to permanently change the system. More likely, his ADD approach to governance believes somehow things just might turn out great without unplugging his Blackberry.
Again, I still think he believes the economy works Chicago-style and is unwilling to consider other alternatives. This comes through nothing more than the inexperience of truly being challenged by opposing views. He will bite the hand that feeds him more than once.
Don’t worry guys, America wins in the end. More and more, I think that Obama will be the destroyer of the Dem party as we currently see it. Not through active destruction like Lex vs. Superman, more in exposing complete their acceptance of hypocrisy and corruption, and losing crediblity with the public. Whether that makes you guys mad or not is to be determined. One thing is clear: now, more than ever, it counts to have people with principles in office. Too bad we don’t have many.
As for now, screw Superman. I’m standing shoulder to shoulder with Hellboy and Wolverine!
M-Magee,
Wagyu beef is from Japan. It’s special because it’s made from herds that were in Japan pre-Meiji restoration, before cows stopped being imported to Japan from Korea and China. So those herds were selectively bred for best results over hundreds of years. The cows are very well taken care of, are pampered their whole lives, and have special massages and sake rubs to make them happy and keep their meat tender. Wagyu beef comes exclusively from Japan, hence the expense (there is an American version of Wagyu that has been bred with American cows but it’s different, and can’t be called real Wagyu).
Kobe beef is Wagyu beef….Kobe is just the region that particular meat is coming from. All of this got popular in the 90s as a fad, and is still around now.
Frankly, as people who probably have a steak once or twice a year, we don’t get what’s so special about it….it’s just beef. To us, the magic’s always in the preparation, presentation, and flavor combinations…so Wagyu must be wasted on us, as we’ve had a simple peppercorn steak that’s been more enjoyable to us than Wagyu.
Some people, though, like Wagyu just because it’s expensive and not everyone can have it.
Is Wagyu beef the one that is marbled with a lot of fat? That’s how the Japanese love their steaks.
That is exactly what Wagyu beef is — very fatty, called “white beef” because it is so fatty.
Mmmmm….fat riddled steak. Sounds like a cholesterol bomb.
I highly encourage Obama to stuff himself with as much of it as he wants.
That’s change I can believe in.
I read that for their life, the cattle for these steaks are suspended by straps so that their feet do not touch the ground. I have read that Kobe cattle are restricted in some similar manner.
I stopped eating foie gras when I heard how the geese are raised (buried up to their necks or confined to quarters so tight they cannot move).
Someone tell me if I am wrong.
“What’s Obama’s ultimate goal in all of this?”
That’s the million-dollar question in all this. Or is he just enjoying the narcissism of playing at being President and letting others take all the heat?
Just look at his past ‘mentors’ (Ayers, Wright, et al) and you will see that he intends to change this country from a democracy into something I don’t even want to contemplate.
I’m beginning to think that he’s going to continue to make mistakes, blame others and show how narcissistic he is, and turn the public, which seems already to be losing the love affair with him, against him. He’s going to need the 50% of us who didn’t vote for him and saw who he was, to get anything accomplished. This same 50% are about ready to take the reins away from Congress. That’s probably the only good thing that’s coming out of this economic fiasco.
You have to at least give him credit for telling us all that he was going to turn our Democracy into a Socialistic Nation. He never said he was Socialistically bent, but his voting record and his class warfare approach to creating animosity between the haves and have nots was classic socialism. Many just saw the fascade, and thought once he got in, he would learn what was correct and Presidential in dealing with the Country’s problems. I never thought he was on a learning curve…he knew exactly what he was doing, and that, to my mind, was the total disruption of our system of Capitalism, the destruction of our border sovereignty, the weakening of our military, unionizing the entire workforce, and the victimization of not only the poor, but 90% of the population. DID YOU SEE THE VIDEO OF PELOSI SPEAKING TO A GROUP OF HISPANICS, SOME OF WHICH I BELIEVE WERE ILLEGALS? She lambasted us, telling them that WE are wrong and that her brand of IMMIGRATION, encompassing all who cross any border, is right, and basically that the AMERICAN PUBLIC is bigoted. They all need to be booted out, like yesterday.
Should have read you first. You said it so much better than I.
I swear she is insane. Someone like that has no business being in office, championing illegals over citizens. Nuts!
As Rush pointed out, Pelosi and BO orchestrated this. After she called our immigration policies, un-American, BO waltzes into SoCal and announces, via telepromter, he’s gonna reform immigration by granting amnesty and get them all in union jobs. How’s that for a plan?
I hope some of you will be willing to come to my site, AConservativeLesbian dot com, and read my essays explaining that Obama is a sociopath, in the clinical sense, and has no conscience. Sociopaths can fake any emotion, but there are only a few that they truly are able to feel. Their biggest thrill is from controlling people by any means required. They do not — cannot — feel any remorse for the destruction and hurt they cause. When you understand Obama’s patterns, you will be able to resist him when he is using his wiles to control you — he always starts by telling people whatever they want to hear. That is why he has so many positions on almost every issue, often ones that are mutually exclusive. There’s more in my posts titled, “Understanding Obama,” “The chilling explanation of why Obama is cool,” and “Why ridicule is Obama’s Kryptonite.” The easy way to find them is to click on my “Barack Obama” category.
Oh, and check out my post from yesterday for the beefcake photo and my screenshots of the hilarious Google karma administered to a critic of gay marriage.

Can you find out more about HR1388/mandatory “volunteerism”?
There was a reference to it on another thread; article to canadafreepress linked.
Is this what’s being pushed through now? EVERY American
needs to know !
here is the link to the gov site, (It might not work I have trouble linking to this site)some scarey stuff I’m just copying the beginning of the summary http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d110:HR02857:@@@D&summ2=m&
SUMMARY AS OF:
11/1/2007–Reported to House amended. (There is 1 other summary)

Requires the Corporation to reserve up to 3%
THIS is classic HB at your very best. And while everyones eyes are on the Porkulous Bill and bail out agreements NOW really reading them, instead of reading and asking questions, at a better time like maybe BEFORE they signed all this, other things are being snuck thru with out people really reading or understand what this mean for our country like the “Mandatory Volunteering” bill that already has 30 co sponsors and little things like why did Barky stop pilots from being about to carry guns in the cockpit? and the cap and trade that is going to possibly triple our energy bills? and ACORN being in charge of the census, Then in a couple weeks (months?) when how we are affected and what this is really costing us, people will be OUTRAGED Outraged I tell you, they won’t know that is what they signed, since they didn’t reading it ya know cuz that’s just how the Dem Roll and the MSM who is reporting about AIG 24/7 now, to cover for all the other things Barky nand company are sneaking thru now, Will be SCREAMING about this outrage while phase 3 of the plans to destry America are sliding thru.
and did you see Obama is having ANOTHER prime times TV show next week? they are even moving AI for him
OOPS should be Then in a couple weeks (months?) when how we are affected and what this is really costing us,starts happening and comes to light, people will be OUTRAGED Outraged I tell you, they won’t know that is what they signed
Great exchange between Rush and Bernie Goldberg on Joe the Plumber and Palin Dernagement Syndrome from the Limbaugh Newsletter:
RUSH: I know there is a contempt; Joe the Plumber was one of the most illustrative examples. Here you’ve got this poor guy who’s minding his own business, an Obama rally ends up next to him. So he asks a question. And it was not a question that was pre-approved. It was not an approved question, period. And so the Democrats go into action with the assistance of the media to destroy this guy.
GOLDBERG: Correct.
RUSH: They look into his private records at the state. They find out where his tax liens are. They do everything they can to destroy this guy’s reputation — while at the same time they are concerned as hell that we might be monitoring phone calls from terrorists in Baghdad and elsewhere who might be planning attacks on the United States. But it’s clearly fine for them to go out and destroy an Ohio citizen who dared ask a question of Obama that might embarrass him or expose one of his ideas that he was trying to cover up. And there was no compassion for what was done to this little guy– and yet the liberals claim to stand for the little guy.
GOLDBERG: That’s one more piece of hypocrisy that is today’s liberalism. They love the little guy in theory. In theory. They don’t want the little guy too close to them in reality, though. The little guy makes them feel uncomfortable. The little guy didn’t go to Harvard, Princeton or Yale. The little guy is not quite as smart as they are. Oh, they love him in theory. They love the little guy as a group, but individually, they don’t love the little guy all that much.
They showed this not only with Joe the Plumber, but also with Sarah Palin. Whether you like Sarah Palin’s politics or not, let’s put that aside for a second. Did she do anything to deserve the viciousness with which she was attacked? In my book, I say a disease broke out in liberal America after Sarah Palin was put on the ticket. The disease was called PDS, Palin Derangement Syndrome. One guy wrote: “What’s the difference between Sarah Palin and a Muslim fundamentalist? Lipstick.” Ha, ha. Except Muslim fundamentalists will kill you if they disagree with you. Somebody else compared the rise of Sarah Palin to the rise of Nazism in Germany. It’s insane.
It isn’t simply that she’s a conservative who’s pro-life. That’s only part of it. They hate the fact that she became the most prominent woman in America and it wasn’t supposed to be that way. One of theirs was supposed to be that. They hate the fact that she has five kids, they hate the fact that she named her kids Trig and Track and Willow and Piper. Sophisticated people don’t call their kids Trig and Track. They hated the fact that she had a baby with Down Syndrome. Hadn’t she ever heard of abortions? You know what they hated most about her? That she was an ordinary American.
RUSH: I was interviewed by Barbara Walters for her “Ten Most Fascinating People” show. I asked her, “What is it you don’t like about Sarah Palin?” “She’s uninformed.” What do you mean uninformed? Who told you she’s uninformed?” “Well, she thinks that she can really see Russia from her house.” I said, “she never said it.”
GOLDBERG: She never said that.
RUSH: I had a conversation recently with a couple of Republican women who hate Sarah Palin as much as any liberal does, because they believed everything the media told them about her.
GOLDBERG: Right. Having worked at CBS News for 28 years, I realize that the coin of the realm, the thing they hold most dear, isn’t decency. I was asked so many times about somebody new in the newsroom: “Is he smart?” That question came often. They never asked, “Is he a good guy?” or, “Is he a decent guy?” Intelligence is the coin of the realm for liberal elites in the newsroom. And they didn’t perceive her as intelligent, so therefore, they hated her. Couple that with her conservative politics and the fact that she has five kids and liked guns, and you knew they were going to try to destroy her.
But let me tell you something; liberal journalists, including Barbara Walters, are the ones who are uninformed. You can go up to 1,000 liberals and say, “Who is Juanita Brodderick?” and I’ll bet you they wouldn’t know. Because The New York Times, when it finally decided to run a story about her, put it on page B-5000.
Moderates and even some of the liberals for McCain should consider subscribing to “The Limbaugh Letter.”
Excerpts like BlueStateBilly posted above are so eye-opening. Rush always has a guest interview of the month. Sometimes they are conservative Republicans, but it seems more & more he’s talking to former liberals or current ones–like Camille Paglia. Of course, no flaming Obama type would ever consent. So sometimes he’ll do an interview in absentia: Rush asking questions & “replies” would be what Obama has previously said on record (since he’s not “in the flesh”).
Bernie Goldberg makes so much sense. He’s a frequent contributor to Fox News, but it’s good to see him in print, too.
I have all the back issues of Rush dating from 1993. When BO first started pitching the health takeover in Porkulus, Elizabeth McCaughey was first to sound the sirens. Name sounded so familiar so I went back thru my Limbaugh Letters. Sure enough–when Hillary’s plan was pitched back in ’94 or so, Elizabeth gave an interview with Rush.
Even though Hillary is beloved on this site, her plan would have been disastrous, too. My personal physician then explained how my health care would have been affected and I was appalled.
BO’s plan takes anything Hillary had on the table, and added the pseudo-Communist/socialist stuff. He is going to be rationing health care, and basically cutting off elderly in favor of young folks. Re-read the McCaughey article from ’94 and that drastic measure wasn’t spelled out as BO’s is.
Thanks Billy and nee,nee!
I admit I have always enjoyed Rush, but was not a daily listener. Now I find his daily commentary, along with Hillbuzz is mandatory for maintaining sanity. Rush is how I found this site.
I come here to my “Hillbuzz Family” to reaffirm that it’s not me that’s crazy. Thanks all for helping me through this American Nightmare.
Hillbuzz guyz, you’ve out done yourselves with this piece. Thanks for mental health breaks. Keep em’ coming
http://therealbarackobama.wordpress.com/2009/03/19/the-moderate-dems-working-group-bayhs-latest-centrist-caucus/
It looks like Evan Bayh put together a gang of 15 centrist Democrats to block the 0bamunists BS. I remember Evan Bayh was the last one to sign the stimulus package.
Can we finally be having some rational people stepping up to the plate in the Senate?
Sorry, Hillbuzz, that wacko McCaskill is included.
Here’s the list. We need to contact these folks and tell them how we feel.
The new coalition includes six Democratic freshmen, Mark Begich of Alaska, Michael Bennet of Colorado, Kay Hagan of North Carolina, Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, Mark Udall of Colorado, and Mark Warner of Virginia. Other members of the group are Herb Kohl of Wisconsin, Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, Claire McCaskill of Missouri, Ben Nelson of Nebraska and Bill Nelson of Florida. Joseph I. Lieberman, the Connecticut independent, is also part of the group.
Maybe we can convince the Legion of Doom to join our ranks? their retirement, investments and opportunities are just as much in jeopardy as the rest of us…
I know this is off subject; but important news.
The TOTUS (Teleprompter Of The United States) has spoken.
http://baracksteleprompter.blogspot.com/
The whole issue of this “National Service Corps” BO is pushing has me hopping the Paranoia Express . . .
We all know Barky’s complete, utter disdain for the military. He’s a pacifist. The Neville Chamberlin of our time wants Iran & Cuba to be validated. Not to mention, negotiating with the “moderate” Taliban–as if such a thing exists!
If we take the need for military off-the-table in those areas, why then, troops can be brought home. Close all those costly overseas bases, too, while you’re at it. That’ll be a big financial boost toward financing the Porkulus package.
Bringing back universal military service via the draft will never have to be an option.
So if military is back home, then we become isolationists. You can’t quite mothball or dismantle all things GI Joe, though. What to do with them? Well, let’s see . . .
If the National Servive Corps doesn’t appeal to you, then the military will come knocking on your door to make sure you do your civic duty.
When 21st century Hillbuzz Patriots assemble in National Service Corps protest groups, BO could send the military in to quell the “unrest.”
Folks, I’m afraid this is going to be so much MORE than socialism!
Nee Nee: An equivalent to the National Service Corp sounds like to me the Red Guards of Mao’s China. It also sounds like the Young Pioneers of the Soviet Union. In my study, the Red Guards were the young people who were so over-the-top in their enthusiasm for Mao that they memorized his words from the Red Book. They adopted a mob mentality and invaded people’s homes looking for those who might disagree with Mao. The generation that was harmed by the Red Guards is dwindling now, but those that remained still talk about their experiences. I am not sure, but I think Hitler had his equivalent ones as well. But the commonality in all of this is: mobilize and train the younger generation because the dictators know that it is the younger people who have the energy and the blind loyalties.
Hey, Bill
Think you’re right. Hitler’s Youth Corps was the first thing that came to my mind, too.
We all know BO does an end run around what he really wants. So if the objective is to create young, blind loyalists–you can’t come right out and target them. Too obvious.
So do the whole Inter-generational National Service Corps thing. Don’t make the penalties for non-compliance too severe for folks in their ’60s . . . didn’t really want’em anyway!
I couldn’t think of the Russian name for the Young Pioneers, but it was organized and marketed as “the” organization for your children to be a member. Having that as your background, you are given preferential treatments later in life as far as schools and jobs go. The young people fought hard to be politically correct so they can be a member. I can see that BO will look upon those who disagree with him as those to be dealt with by the National Service Corps. Remember the video of kids who did their routine for BO even before he was elected? Be afraid, be very afraid.
OK, I found something to praise. Eric Holder is considering a change in policy towards medical marijuana. This is a subject near to my heart since I have a close friend battling cancer and his own doctors have to recommend that he break the law under NYS’s draconian “Rockefeller” laws.
I may be a Repub but I’m socially Libertarian so I support this change. My Repub friends take me to task over it but I’m sorry, I was young once and yes I did inhale, and while I do not RECOMMEND non-medical use of marijuana, in the end it’s just pot.
And if doctors at world-reknowned Roswell Cancer Institute recommend it for their patients like my friend, who am I to argue?
I mentioned this bill the other day on this site because the thought of it made me so nervous:
http://www.infowars.com/house-passes-mandatory-national-service-bill/#comments
Well, I’m afraid it passed in the House yesterday.
Doom is the right word.
Delle
THIS is the bill I’ve been SCREAMING about, I really believe part of the “outrage” over the AIG bonuses were to take eyes off the fact they were sliding this thru.
Here comes Obama’s citizen Army folks
Sorry.
I didn’t realize that the bill had already been discussed above.
I guess that’s alright though.
It does deserve attention.
Lyn – you are right. The whole financial mess is merely a distraction.
I wonder what else he is pushing through congress that we are, as yet, unaware of.
Delle
I have sent the links to this to everyone I could think of ie: Rush, O’Reilly, Beck etc.
Call your senators, ALL of them. THEY ALL WORK FOR US!
We are an army NOW, without BO.
i don’t know either,and i.m very afraid.
Nominating the open-borders-policy Janet Napolitano as head of Homeland Security is still another BO sly move.
Terrorists shouldn’t be called terrorists. Let’s call the destruction that they bring about “man-caused disasters.”
Anyway, that’s how Ms. Napolitano feels. Snippet of recent interview:
DER SPIEGEL: “Madame Secretary, in your first testimony to the US Congress as Homeland Security Secretary you never mentioned the word “terrorism.” Does Islamist terrorism suddenly no longer pose a threat to your country?”
Napolitano: “Of course it does. I presume there is always a threat from terrorism. In my speech, although I did not use the word “terrorism,” I referred to “man-caused” disasters. That is perhaps only a nuance, but it demonstrates that we want to move away from the politics of fear toward a policy of being prepared for all risks that can occur.”
Gee, I dunno . . . to me, a “man-caused disaster” is a million acres of timber destroyed by a careless camper with a cigarette!
Technically, I guess terrorists ARE men who DO cause disasters. Albeit with bombs strapped to their bodies. So in the truest sense of the word, Janet, you’re right.
Joke of the Day
The DVD’S that Teh One and his Teleprompter gave to PM Brown do not work in the UK.
Obama has NO problem paying the medical bills for all those ILLEGAL ALIENS!!!
