Well Obama no John Kerry

The woman is Satan.

However, she is "obviously" Satan.

Maybe here the "Devil you know" argument applies:)

Obama, an Illinois senator, canceled a visit to eastern Iowa last week at the request of state officials and instead went to fill sandbags in Quincy, Ill. McCain, an Arizona senator, toured flood damage in Iowa Thursday.

"I know that Sen. McCain felt as strongly as I did," Obama said, "feeling enormous sympathy for the victims of the recent flooding. I'm sure they appreciated the sentiment, but they probably would have appreciated it even more if Sen. McCain hadn't opposed legislation to fund levees and flood control programs, which he considers pork."

The bill that McCain opposed spent $23 billion on water projects. It passed Congress overwhelmingly and was vetoed by President Bush because he said it spent too much on lawmaker's pet projects. Congress voted to override the veto, the first time of Bush's presidency.

Well like him or not you have to admit the Obama bunch will not sit back and be swiftboated like the limbernoodle Kerry bunch did,

They not only answer republican smear attempts quickly and decisively, they keep them off balance by bringing the republicans' misjudgments and malfeasance to the forefront for the public to see.

They have certainly studied the pitfalls of Kerry's sissy campaign.

The point was that Obama will not sit back and let the republicans swiftboat him and not respond like Kerry did.

Yall are missing the point.

Probably should have explained it better.

Sherm, up to your old “tricks” again I see.

Only a person of questionable character would claim their Post “was not about the merits of the legislation”…….. after citing a reference to said Legislation as the “lead off” reason for their posting.

So much so that if he can't disagree or take issue with what I say he just changes what I say so he can argue with it.

Maybe we could get Sam and Stephanie to psychologize him and explain what makes him tick.

And Sherman, being as how you requested it, ……. Sam will psychologize, but it will be you and the Democrats who will be criticized for “doing no good or favors” for those people living in the Floodplain of the Mississippi River.

Sherm, your Democrat “pork barrel” projects of building higher n’ higher levees along the banks of the Mississippi River and its tributaries ……. only exacerbates the flooding, deaths, destruction and damages that result whenever rainfall and/or snowmelt of such proportions occurs.

So therefore it is the Democrat’s misjudgments and malfeasance and it should be brought to the forefront for the public to see.

And "NO", .... Obama was not attempting to "answer republican smear attempts", ..... his rhetoric was nothing more than Democrat CYAs to distort and confuse any claims of Democrat’s misjudgments and malfeasance that will surely surface after the flood waters recede.

Now on that one Sam gets it right. Those levees act as dams and hold back a bunch of that water. And then when the river overtops and erodes the levee, there is even more water to contend with than if the levee had not been there at all.

GEEEZUS, talk at ya'll later, ... I gotta get to my garage fast.

I need a cold Bud like real quick like.
