GOPMOM Note: And it goes on and on and on…
Well, we knew it was full steam ahead with the super Liberal agenda.
This morning, radio host Bill Press brought up the recent closing of liberal station Obama 1260 when speaking with Michigan Sen. Debbie Stabenow, and talked about whether there needs to be a balance to right-wing talk on the radio dial…
SENATOR DEBBIE STABENOW (D-MI): I think it’s absolutely time to pass a standard. Now, whether it’s called the Fairness Standard, whether it’s called something else — I absolutely think it’s time to be bringing accountability to the airwaves.

And then there’s this.
He warned us. After signing the universal health care Trojan Horse S-CHIP bill into law yesterday, President Obama took his “next step” this afternoon — quietly signing a memorandum revoking the Bush administration’s attempts to ensure that government-funded health insurance for working poor people actually went to working poor people.
Wait. There’s even more.
President Obama signed an executive order Thursday establishing a revamped White House Office on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships.
The office will be led by Joshua DuBois, a 26-year-old Pentecostal minister, who headed religious outreach for Obama’s Senate office and later his campaign.
Sorry, a 26 year old running an office in the White House? Geez, I hope someone checked his MySPace page. They’ve been having all those vetting problems, you know?
And The Economist weighs in.
What a miserable day for America. If the tapes from the Flight 1549 landing in the Hudson River hadn’t been released, Wrench would be talking me off the roof right now.
Can I just say, that Sully is a genuine hero. I know that word gets thrown around a lot these day but we have a real genuine hero amongst us. When I heard those tapes today, I sobbed. I can’t even begin to imagine how he did it – not land the plane, his lifetime of training and experience did that – but stay so calm. I don’t think that if I had the responsibility to make the decision between possibly ending 155 lives by landing in the river or taking the chance of killing even more by trying to get the plane to an airport, I could have been that calm. I hope and pray that the rest of his life is happy and blessed. He has earned it, along with his colleagues on that plane. (As for the schmucks with the nerve to sue the airline, I think their obviously miserable lot in life is punishment enough.)
I just wish we had such a hero leading our nation right now.

I AM SO ANGRY!
Tom Daschle, and Nancy Killefer are two of the finest, and most competent public servants you could possibly hope for in these appointments. They have been assassinated by the Washington healthcare lobby through their paid Bush Republican henchmen in congress. These Bush republicans are the same people blocking the economic recovery plan put forth by the Obama administration.
I am BURNING MAD America. And you should be too. Tome Daschle and Nancy Killefer were exactly what we needed to help turn this country around and fix our economy, and catastrophic healthcare crisis.
If I were their boss I would tell them to get right back to Washington. And dare congress to not approve them. How ridiculous is it to reject highly qualified people that this country needs just because they made a mistake on their taxes. Don’t stand for that anymore America. They apologized, and paid their taxes, and that should be it. Their country needs them. But President Obama has to do what he thinks is best. I understand that. I’M JUST SO MAD at the anti American Bush Republicans.
Like many of you I have been trying to enjoy the after glow of this Beautiful historic election. But I see that the republicans in congress and their cohorts aren’t going to be good sports, and LOSER’S!
SO BE IT!
In spite of President Obama’s repeated offers, and gestures of collegiality to Republicans. Bush Republicans have seized upon every opportunity to stab President Obama in the back. And by doing so they are stabbing you, and the rest of the American people in the back. Well, you don’t have to put up with that. And you shouldn’t put up with that. President Obama has only been on the job two weeks. And he inherited two wars, and the worst economy since the great depression.
We had an election. And president Obama, and the democrats won BIG. And Bush Republicans lost miserably!
The Bush Republicans are the ones responsible for the worst economic crisis since the great depression. And the Bush Republicans are responsible for the worst healthcare crisis in American history. A healthcare crisis that is killing hundreds of thousands of you every year. Rich, middle class, and poor a like. Insured, and uninsured. Men, women, children, and babies.
President Obama, and the Democrats should take back all the concessions they granted the Bush Republicans, and tell them to put up! or shut up!
Everyone, start calling and contacting these Bush Republicans and tell them to stop blocking President Obama, and the Democrats recovery plan. And stop trying to block, and corrupt healthcare reform. Tell them to get on board with President Obama and the Democrats, or GET OUT!!
If these Bush Republicans refuse to cooperate I want all of you to immediately begin the process of removing them from office by every legal means possible. Including impeachment, and recall. I want you to bring the full weight and power of the movement down on their heads that swept President Obama, and the Democrats into control of the whitehouse, and congress. Take no prisoners. Use all the techniques you learned over this past historic election. Be flexible, creative, adaptable, and relentless like you were in the past.
To my cyber warriors I call on you again. You are among the best and the brightest. I call on you to move this fight from the cyber world to the living rooms, dens, and work places of the voters these Bush Republicans misrepresent. I know I can count on you. This is a fight worth fighting.
To my fellow World citizens. As an American I invite, and welcome you and your advise, input, and help. By delaying Americas recovery, and healthcare reform, these Bush Republicans are delaying our commitment to your recovery, and to being the better America for you that we aspire too.
I had hoped it would not come to this after our historic election. I had hoped that the Bush Republicans would respect the overpowering will of the people, and the World. But I guess not. All the Bush Republicans really care about is them-selves. Well, SO BE IT! Lets finish the job.
Sincerely

*winces at the coming GOPMom onslaught*
I’m sad about Nancy Killefer stepping down, but I’m not convinced Tom Daschle was the right guy.
Jack, You’re who I’ve been waiting for. (Suck it up, ATG.)
“How ridiculous is it to reject highly qualified people that this country needs just because they made a mistake on their taxes.”
Hmmm, ironic, isn’t it? Wasn’t it just 5 months ago that all the guys on your side were exclaiming that a lowly plumber had no right to even question the “One’s” proposals because he was a tax cheat? Yet now, you expect us to put people like this into powerful Cabinet positions with nary an inquiry? Typical hypocrite. Tell you what, Jack. If you can get all Dem members of Congress to pay all back and future taxes, in full, I will write a letter to Daschle asking him to come back.
“But I see that the republicans in congress and their cohorts aren’t going to be good sports”
Who are the cohorts? You have a majority. If you want something done, you can get it done. Why are you all so dependent on our acquiescence and compliance? You never wanted our help before. And it’s not our job to be good losers, it’s your job to be a gracious winner.
“Bush Republicans have seized upon every opportunity to stab President Obama in the back.”
What? How is disagreeing with socialist policies a stab in the back from a conservative – and there aren’t many true conservatives in Congress right now. Whachoo talkin’ bout’, Jack?
“A healthcare crisis that is killing hundreds of thousands of you every year”
What, again? Are you doing that Nancy Pelosi math, where you triple the numbers and triple again, and again? Completely unhinged, Jack. ANd as for kiling babies, Jack – that’s the policy on your side. 40+ million in the last 40 years – congratulations.
“Tell them to get on board with President Obama and the Democrats, or GET OUT!!”
I knew I wasn’t the only one who wants those who disagree with me to get out. See, ATG, it happens on both sides.
“If these Bush Republicans refuse to cooperate I want all of you to immediately begin the process of removing them from office by every legal means possible…”
hehehehehe – is that you, Olberman? Or is this just a joke Wrench is playing on me because I really needed a good laugh?
“I call on you to move this fight from the cyber world to the living rooms, dens, and work places of the voters these Bush Republicans misrepresent. I know I can count on you. This is a fight worth fighting.”
Please, oh please, someone come to my house. Please! Please!
Oh, Jack. You’re like a gift from above. You are the answer to my prayers. I keep telling people that kooks like you exist but you’re all over at Huff Po and Olberman. Bush Republicans – that’s a good one. Psst, I’m gonna’ let you in on a secret. The “Bush” Republicans are not the ones you should worry about. I don’t even know what a Bush Republican is. I’m a Conservative Republican and there are millions of us and we are coming for you, Jack and your stupid Obambi and all his commie comrades. Enjoy your brief afterglow – it’s burning out faster than the battery on your Prius.
Now, ATG, you have to admit. I wasn’t that hard on him. He is, after all, suffering from an obvious array of disabilities.
It’s true, you actually weren’t that hard on him, I’ve gotten much worse from you for much less. Your restraint is commendable.
Well, he’s only dealing with half a deck. You’ve got three quarters:)
