 TR> When Congress denied Obama authority to transfer money to
 TR> the International Monetary Fund, he did so anyway, issuing
 TR> an executive order promising to give that body $140 billion
 TR> for redistribution to Third World countries.

 Or did he just release money previously allocated?

 TR> Now he's made another mockery of bipartisanship and the
 TR> Constitution in making six recess appointments, including

 When Bush did that where was your complaint? The constitution
 provides for recess appointments. That is where the whole thing
 comes from. Bush did it regularly.

 As to bipartisanship, that should be made a mockery of.

 TR> two people so objectionable that a near supermajority of
 TR> Democratic senators wouldn't confirm them: James Cole as
 TR> deputy attorney general, whose lax position in the war on
 TR> terror is disturbing,

 TR> and Francis J. Ricciardone Jr. as ambassador to Turkey.

 Well, I don't know anything about Ricciardone, but if the right
 consider's Cole's position on the war on terror "lax", he's
 probably right on target.

 TR> It obviously doesn't matter to these zealots that an
 TR> overwhelmingly Democratic
 TR> Congress couldn't pass cap and trade or that the Clean Air
 TR> Act gives them no authority to regulate so-called
 TR> greenhouse gas emissions. It doesn't matter

 The Supreme Court not only gave them the authority, but decided
 it was their duty.

 TR> that their proposed regulatory blitzkrieg would further
 TR> damage an already anemic and precarious economy.

 Maybe, maybe not, esp with the changes likely to take years to
 have any effect.

 And some of them will probably improve the economy by increasing
 employment to meet the standards.

 Gentle in your face intimidation. Esp in the military.

 TR> compassionate liberals, they're phasing in the pain to
 TR> soften the blow (and the public's outrage) -- just as they
 TR> did with the sundry gimmicks of Obamacare.

 What Gimmicks of Obamacare? It's right out there in public, if
 you cared to look.

 TR> And let's not forget gas prices. Remember when liberals
 TR> used to oppose rising gas prices -- you know, under Bush,
 TR> even when they were still less than $2 per gallon?

 Yeah, when they were $1.36 in 2002, we thought that was too
 high. When they hit $2.30 in 2005 they were even more too high.
 When they hit $3.25 in 2008 they were way too high.

 Oh, and I'm talking regular, not mid or premium.

 TR> According to Sen. Barbara Boxer, those astronomical prices
 TR> were the result of George Bush and Dick Cheney's being "too
 TR> cozy with the oil industry."

 Yep. And, as I pointed out, gas topped $3 after the republicans
 won the house.

 TR> All these developments serve as a nice complement to
 TR> Obama's seven-year ban on drilling in the eastern Gulf of
 TR> Mexico and along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. King

 Why was Bush keeping in place an 8 yr ban on offshore drilling?
 That ban was more extensive by far than Obama's. Where were you
 then?

 Since BP's corruption is being shown more and more, an
 investigation of all oil companies should be done before any are
 allowed to risk our enviornment again.

 TR> Barack wasn't about to let the insubordinate courts have
 TR> the last

 He shouldn't. The only court that matters is the supreme court,
 and the supreme court has become the activist court in this
 country. The supreme court has exceeded it's authority by far.
 Any court that rules that corporations have human rights is
 bought and paid for.

 Obama's "political theology" is far closer to the American
 people than the republicans dogma.
