"I’ll say this for George Bush: you’d never have caught him frantically negotiating against himself..."

“I’ll say this for George Bush: you’d never have caught him frantically negotiating against himself to take the meat out of a signature legislative initiative just because his approval ratings had a bad summer. Can you imagine Bush and Karl Rove allowing themselves to be paraded through Washington on a leash by some dimwit Republican Senator of a state with six people in it the way the Obama White House this summer is allowing Max Baucus (favorite son of the mighty state of Montana) to frog-march them to a one-term presidency?”

- Matt Taibbi on the likely demise of the public option from the health-care reform bill (via AZspot).

The Democrats, and the Obama administration, do not have a mandate to pander to the crazy, scremaing, ignorant wingnuts and their death-squad propaganda. We elected them to run this place and get things done after a decade of damage and neglect.

The Democrats proved during W.’s term that they had absolutely no balls and no ability to get anything done whatsoever. The Democrats would compromise, the Republicans wouldn’t, so the passed legislation was lopsided, ineffective, and often very harmful. I assumed it was because the Democrats just didn’t have enough power.

Now they have a lot more power, and should be able to pass nearly any policy initiative with broad support. And what’s happening? The Democrats are compromising and the Republicans aren’t. The resulting bill will be lopsided, ineffective, and harmful.

It’s the same old shit.

I expect as much from Congress, but I’m extremely disappointed in the ineffectiveness and lack of balls shown by the Obama presidency so far.

Hey, shut up! Circle the wagons, alright? None of this dissent crap coming from my lefty ranks!

Happy Birthday, President Obama!

I’m sure Obama was excited to talk to someone as perfect as himself.

OMFG, you have no idea how refreshing it was.

$23,148,855,308,184,500 for pack of smokes

$23,148,855,308,184,500 for pack of smokes:

bellatoris:

sds:

A New Hampshire man says he swiped his debit card at a gas station to buy a pack of cigarettes and was charged over 23 quadrillion dollars.

Josh Muszynski checked his account online a few hours later and saw the 17-digit number — a stunning $23,148,855,308,184,500 (twenty-three quadrillion, one hundred forty-eight trillion, eight hundred fifty-five billion, three hundred eight million, one hundred eighty-four thousand, five hundred dollars).

Muszynski says he spent two hours on the phone with Bank of America trying to sort out the string of numbers and the $15 overdraft fee.

I mean, I knew the Democrats had raised taxes on tobacco, and that Obama is trying to pressure people to quit smoking, but this is a little ridiculous.

Hey, don’t put this on me! This just proves that banks and credit card companies need more regulation.

Source in Iran views Marine One blueprints :

notthatkindagay:

WASHINGTON — The Navy is investigating how an unauthorized user in Iran gained online access to blueprints and other information about a helicopter in President Barack Obama’s fleet.

Employees at data monitoring firm Tiversa last week discovered that potentially sensitive information about the helicopter had been viewed by a “malicious” source in Iran, company spokesman Scott Harrer said Monday.

Uh….

Truth is, some guy in a gorgeous hand-made head scarf and an AK-47 slung over his shoulder came up to me requesting a username and password to our servers. In a spirit of openness and generosity, I gave him my own, with full access to classified data. Maybe now Iran will stop pursuing those nasty mean nukes. See, GWB just didn’t get it—all it takes is a little kindness!

My favorite comment from the YouTube Stream:

i am a liberal, bleeding heart, an independent, almost a green party member.. i voted for obama…

but this dude is 100% right. Where the F@#$@#$ is the accountability? This bill should have been on a website where we could at least READ IT.

i am afraid that Obama is turning out to be just another @#$@$ politician.

JFC.

C’mon, guys. This is just Republican hackery and anti-bipartisanship. You can see through this! Don’t be cynical! Keep the Dream Alive! Hope! You have to believe!
