At any rate , Obama's political enemies in this country have no idea that most of us prefer a cool head and thinking leadership.

I read a New Yorker article on him not long ago and it turns out that he is highly intelligent and very well educated. So either is is an ideologue who is unwilling to face any facts that don't fit his worldview, or he is just completely cynical. I'm not sure which is worse; both are dangerous.

mark these words: there will be a dirty sex scandal with this guy.

and tell him Obama is an intelligent diplomat who is keeping us out of the kind of stupid and unwinnable wars Republicans love to start so their military contractor buddies can clean up.

Putin looks like a man who is slowly realizing he's bitten off more than he can chew. Grabbing territory is the easy part. He forgot the lesson of Afghanistan: keeping that grabbed territory will wear you down and ultimately bankrupt you.

I hope Obama is watching closely as he considers any more military commitment to the middle east. We need to get the hell out.

this guy..

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]... a radically insane, theocratic RW asshole.

Something like Ben Carson....there is a guy who will take this country back to the stone ages

Part of me says he's just the World's Best snake-oil salesman, and doesn't believe a fucking word of it.
And I'm not sure which is worse...dumb, or smart and callous...

Either way, he's dangerous. But let his ass run for President. It will be fun watching him lose, and then, when the Crazy Right CANNOT say, any longer, that their candidate "Just wasn't a really real Conservative Enough, and THAT'S why he lost", THEN the real work of destroying the Conservative movement can begin, because they will have to face the reality that America is probably more Left than Right, and and that means everything they have been told, and told themselves, for the last half-century is PROVABLY WRONG.

watching the searing heat of enlightenment burn through their minds that way will be the most painful day of their collective lives, and will be a most enjoyable moment for me.

for hateful fascist bigots bent on restoring slavery.

I wonder how long it would take him to start a third world war?

...hasn't attacked Guam yet.

Weak on terror by republican standards.

A postage stamp would be more appropriate.

Actually, that would apply to the entire right wing.

All of their expertise could be printed on a postage stamp.

because when I think of a real bad ass, Ted Cruz comes to mind.

Thank you for playing.


Carry on.

Is he STILL Canadian? Does his father still tell him what to say? Seems his father was a disgruntled "leader" of some sort in Cuba. Now he wants to take over the USA. Rafael Sr. is a religious nutcase, with delusions of grandeur. He is sort of the Cuban Dickless Cheney to his son Georgie Jr.

With the ease that Cruzs dad flitted from Cuba to USA to Canada back to USA i think a bit of immigration scrutiny is in order, may turn out Cruz himself is an illegal.

than where they seek power. Napoleon and that other guy come to mind.

'Nuff said.

when I saw this again just now.. I was thinking "kitty cat".. "well, if that's what you want to call a lion."

And, you found a vid with a lion and a bear?! I don't think I want to watch that.. but, what are they even doing in the same neck of the woods?!

an old Disney children's action movie from '72 (that included a young Jodie Foster - she is the same age as me...lol) - "Napoleon and Samantha".

That movie was filmed in John Day, Oregon, where I used to reside. It's a kick to watch the familiar scenery and spot a few local "extras". It also starred Michael Douglas. The bear/lion "fight" probably wasn't shot in the surrounding area, I'm guessing. Anyway, great scene and I love the info you posted about lions, and completely agree with you--don't mess with our President. His roar will be heard far and wide and the critters who underestimate him will be scattering for cover. Including the bear named Putin!

Best.

Even a kitty cat can be a danger if provoked and fearless... I think mr Cruz is just stupid - and jealous he have no possibility to even be in the white house - if he is not been invited by the current occupant...

And I also think President Obama do it the right way - being levelheaded and cool -instead of going on a rampage who might loose he more friends than the former occupant of the White house did in just a few years back between 2001-2008 - it took years of minding to get the old friends of europe - you know they who was cowards for not getting along on the war against Iraq to trust US fully again....
And I think Obama comparative to the republicans know how acute the situation was - and is - and want to keep it low key - and then surprise all by doing it the right way...

And no - I do not think Cruz is the Crumpy Cat - the Crumpy cat is far to kind to be Cruz - and I suspect even the Crumpy Cat would have accepted Obama as a friend - mostly because most cats know who to trust and not..

Diclotican

right before he got that silly little surprised look on his face.

Just sayin'

[link:

Makes me think of that kid's show, Diego. "Bears are afraid of cats."

Cruz would have no problem bringing his own vision of Putin's repression, uber-nationalsim, and militarism to this country. He cannot come out and proclaim this directly, so the workaround is rhetoric that places Putin in a superior light compared to President Obama.

So important during republicans administrations

Remember this Cruz...Cats have claws and are stealthy, Bears just shit in the woods, and sleep most of the time.

....invade eastern Ukraine and fight a nuclear armed Russia? Threaten to nuke Moscow? What?

guessin he tells that joke a bit differently when the mike is off.

He still wouldn't smell that good.

Run back to Texas, or better yet, Canada, although I wouldn't want to inflict that piece of garbage on our fine neighbors to the north.

I realize that the nation has suffered in the past from extremism.

However, the conservative faction of the GOP has moved far from a position of reasoned honest debate of the issues to obstructionism. . Obama's election open the flood gate of extremist Right Wing propaganda of unbridled hatred. They have played on the ignorance and fear of the working White Class that they are in jeopardy of losing their privileged place in society. Unfortunately, their ignorance coupled with deep seated racism prevents them from comprehending that they are nothing more than pawns and their privileged status is nothing more than a delusion.

It is not unreasonable to compare what is taking place in America with what transpired in the 1930's in Germany. The leadership of he Republican Party, rather than denouncing the extremists message of hatred and division, have embraced the polarization that it has breed. I don't know if I will be around to see if someone can emerge to right the ship before it completely flounders. It is a sad realization that large segment of citizens' of our nation doesn't have the maturity to accept that an African-American, regardless of their demonstrated accomplishments, can lead the nation.

Obama is not grinding him to dust?

I guess life for the fact-free is a lot easier than striving for coherence.

In a world filled with them.

Putin is Ted's hero, Ted wants to be just like him, Ted wants to be a dictator, never thought this would be a possible event in the US but Ted is attempting to be a Congressional Dictator. I sure hope Texans will look at Ted for what he is and get him out of office next time.

Presidential race, but the guy is a total joke, and most know it, or should know it.. than again, there are a few fans of Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann who probably think he is just fine..(((( meh.))))

Those who publically ate Green Eggs and Ham on a bed of shredded, fried, filibuster, should think twice before they make jokes about other people's lunch

Grand Ol' Poop is our specialtly!

Republcians sound like they are still in high school.

Cruz must think that living soldiers are like GI Joe dolls. He can send them on all kinds of deadly missions and doesn't have to be responsible for the consequences. As long as the money keeps going in his piggy bank, he'll put anyone else in harm's way.

Ever Get an angry Cat stuck in your shorts? Then Come over to My Place And I'll Show you what it's like.

He's a liar. He has nothing to say. He can't think in three dimensions. Useless.

(snip)
June 13, 2006—Perhaps not since the Cowardly Lion has an animal's appearance been so at odds with its attitude.

On June 4 a black bear wandered into a West Milford, New Jersey, back yard, was confronted by a 15-pound (7-kilogram) tabby cat … and fled up a neighbor's tree. Hissing at the base of the tree, Jack the clawless cat kept the bear at bay for about 15 minutes, then ran him up another tree after an attempted escape.

Finally, Jack's owner, Donna Dickey, called the cat inside, and the timorous trespasser disappeared back into the woods.

"He doesn't want anybody in his yard," Dickey said of Jack in an interview with the Newark Star Ledger.
