I had to watch all those commercials about how Obama had a plan to help people at the gas pump.
So now we get ..
"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK," Obama said."That's not leadership. That's not going to happen," he added.
.. some plan .. you don't get a gas pump.

AREN'T THERE ANY GROWN UPS IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY?
Who knew that Obama was so sensitive ?
Ever time somebody talks .. they aren't necessarily talking about you .. except when your name is Obama

Given all the hot air, it's ironic that the biggest employer in Allentown is Air Products.

PROGRESS IN IRAQ A TOUGH SELL FOR PETREAUS
I believe that al-Sadr’s stunning announcement that he will disband his Mahdi Militia if the central Shia council tells him to should be taken at face value, at least for the short term.
But you have to remember why al-Sadr is in Iran .. to get his cleric credentials .. so he can eventually replace the Shia council’s leadership with his own .. and .. then use the Shia council to reestablish the Mahdi Army .. without the interference of the aging al-Sistani.
Will it work ? Only time will tell. It’s quite possible that Iraq will move beyond the need for al-Sadr before he can make it work.
Meanwhile, Iran is supposely still “working on” the manifestation of the “12th iman” to do much the same, but without a toady like al-Sadr.

CAN WE JUST WALK AWAY FROM IRAQ?
It appears you may need to take yet another look, as the "facts" seems to keep changing and new developments make old assumptions obsolete.

WHAT IF THE WORLD ENDED AND NOBODY SHOWED UP?
This all reminds me why I stopped getting TIME magazine. It had to do with a headline about an effort in Congress to kill the super conducting super collider that was being built in Texas at the time. Congress did kill it.
The headline .. The $5.6 Billion Gizmo

Don't miss this selection via Christopher Hitchens' piece ..
"If Barack gets past the primary," said the Rev. Jeremiah Wright to the New York Times in April of last year, "he might have to publicly distance himself from me. I said it to Barack personally, and he said yeah, that might have to happen."
Pause just for a moment, if only to admire the sheer calculating self-confidence of this. Sen. Obama has long known perfectly well, in other words, that he'd one day have to put some daylight between himself and a bigmouth Farrakhan fan. But he felt he needed his South Side Chicago "base" in the meantime. So he coldly decided to double-cross that bridge when he came to it. And now we are all supposed to marvel at the silky success of the maneuver.
Perhaps Obama didn't hear them, but he certainly knew of them at least a year ago. Also, note that Rev. Wright knew he would be viewed as contraversal, requiring an astrangement.

CLIMATE CHANGE? OR JUST A STRETCH OF BAD WEATHER?
blindly following a “scamâ€
If this we're the real goal of the "other" side, this would all be easy to resolve. Rather, the truth involves lots of self-interest (i.e. federal funding for research). Just like a bunch of teenie-boopers, the research community has fads as well. Awarding for federal grants goes to those who can exhibit the "greatest impact" in showing that federal grant money is useful, therefore there is a need for more money. In business this is usually referred to as "building fiefdoms".

ENOUGH WITH ALL OF THIS "OBAMA IS A MOOSLIM" CRAP
I always thought that both Hiliary and Obama were much more vunerable to an attack on just who was "rich" enough to be paying for all their wonderful ideas.
