SondraK, Lympian Slayer Coming soon to a mail box near you-know-who-you-are!
I want to make this absolutely clear. I did not run for president to turn away from these challenges. I didn’t run to kick (applause) these challenges down the road. I ran for president to confront them once and for all. I ran for this office to rebuild our economy so it works not just for the fortunate few, but everybody who is willing to work hard.

I want you to understand, this is not about me.
~ This is not about me. (applause) This is about you. This is not about me. This is about you. I didn’t take this up to boost my poll numbers. You know, the way to boost your poll numbers is not do anything. (laughter) That’s how you do it. You don’t offend anybody. I’d have real high poll numbers. All of Washington would be saying, “What a genius.” (laughter) I didn’t take this on to score political points. I know there’s some folks who think, you know, if Obama loses, we win. But, you know what? I think that I win when you win.

So long as I have some breath in me, so long as I have the privilege of serving as your president, I will not stop fighting for you. I will take my lumps. (applause) But I won’t stop fighting to bring back jobs here. I won’t stop fighting for an economy where hard work is rewarded. I won’t stop fighting to make sure there’s accountability in our financial system. I’m not going to stop fighting until we have jobs for everybody.

Rush Limbaugh is so reviled by the left, that even when he agrees with liberals and issues facts supporting their arguments, they criticize him and demand an apology.
The latest such group to deride Limbaugh for supposedly offensive comments that they themselves have supported is the Anti-Defamation League…
White House advisers appearing on the Sunday talk shows gave three different estimates of how many jobs could be credited to President Obama’s Recovery Act…
Obama has suspicious number of letter-writing fans named ‘Ellie Light’
By Sabrina Eaton, The Plain Dealer
Ellie Light sure gets around. In recent weeks, Light has published virtually identical “Letters to the Editor” in support of President Barack Obama in more than a dozen newspapers.Every letter claimed a different residence for Light that happened to be in the newspaper’s circulation area.
“It’s time for Americans to realize that governing is hard work, and that a president can’t just wave a magic wand and fix everything,” said a letter from alleged Philadelphian Ellie Light, that was published in the Jan. 19 edition of The Philadelphia Daily News.A letter from Light in the Jan. 20 edition of the San Francisco Examiner concluded with an identical sentence, but with an address for Light all the way across the country in Daly City, California.
Light – who e-mailed an identical missive to this reporter on Jan. 16 without listing a hometown – would not answer e-mailed questions about the address discrepancies in newspapers that ran her letter, or her identity, although she did say she wasn’t a former co-worker of this reporter’s who had a similar name. ...etc.

More.
Ohhh, yes. I’m sure there will be more.
Rollover added, above — idea was stolen from Claire in comments.
It’ll also have to serve as the elusive acceptable-light-loafers joke.
DougM (commissarophobe) Six months after Cambridge police Sergeant James Crowley’s arrest of a black Harvard professor sparked a national debate over race relations, state officials vetoed an invitation last week to have him speak at the graduation of a class of police cadets.
The snub offended Crowley’s brother, Daniel, who said he was told that the class of 54 cadets from various municipal police departments voted for his brother to speak at their April 30 graduation from the Randolph Regional Police Training Academy, but was overruled.

whereas Dianne Feinstein talks to us stoopid pleble reeeeeeeel sloooooooow
“I think we do go slow on health care,” Feinstein said. “People do not understand it. It is so big it’s beyond their comprehension. And if you don’t understand it and somebody tells you it does this or it does that, you tend to believe it, even though it isn’t true. It’s hard to debunk all of the myths out there.”

Code Word: diversity. Freedom of political speech/press is conditional and subject to government regulation and nationalization.
Anybody else feel a chill up their spine at the overt threat at the end? ("Be careful” & “Fairness Doctrine")

Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) intends in the next few weeks to introduce legislation that would take away the minority’s power to filibuster legislation.

His staff said the bill would be introduced sometime before the Senate’s current work period ends on Feb. 13.

“In light of the fact that it takes 67 votes to change the Senate rules, it does not look likely that a rule change would happen anytime soon,” said a senior aide.
