#1 Whatever game Obama is playing, is it really reasonable to presume that he is playing it on ~~God Damn~~ America's side?

#2 I think Obama's definition of what America will be differs from my definition of what America is. Perhaps we are seeing the exercise of "flexibility" he spoke of in Russia previously.

#3 Then there is that fraction of the US population, scarcely aware of what state Columbus, Ohio, is the capital of, whose notion of America hinges on an consistent and endlessly increasing supply of benefits.

#4 51.1%, approx. 1/6 of the US population, thought the guys was all right. That's a rather large fraction.

#5 50% plus 1 is all the fraction that's necessary to win most elections.

#6 I am far more concerned about the 50% less the 1 and what it holds for the future of this great nation.

#8 James Kunstler has a way with words:

The few thousand Americans not completely distracted by tweeting the content of their breakfasts or shooting naked selfies or texting behind the wheel yea, even the gallant minority not mentally colonized by the slave-masters of Silicon Valley must wonder what the heck happened in the streets of Kiev last week.

#9 "Spengler" wrote recently this about Ukraine (mentioned elsewhere on the 'Burg):

The oligarchs have looted the country so that it has to borrow money from foreigners to maintain the subsidies

Does that apply to US?

#10 One thing I always loved about America, even the people who hate her want to live here. Envy my man, envy is as green as the dollar. God bless America and God damn her enemies, foreign and domestic. These colors don't run baby.

He probably thinks it's spelled stealie.

#17 That's because Obama and the media truely believe his poop is holy and his 'sh*t don't stink' (1).

And of course the latest distraction is the Oscars and how many stars are in a 'selfie'...

(1) OTOH - given the way the media slurps it up perhaps it doesn't stink. I don't want to find out.
