[b]"There have been times when our side, when Democrats aren’t always as flexible as we need to be," Obama said. "Sometimes I do get frustrated when I hear folks say, 'You can't make any changes to any government programs.' Well, that can't be right."[/b]

The ass-kicking we gave the Repukes in Nov 2008 was a signal that the entire Bush/Rove/Hate Radio/Fox "News" agenda was rejected, and should be done away with.

IMO this is the first front on which we should begin the reclamation of the US. Hedges, Johnston and others have written that it will soon be time to fight, flee, or succumb.

Indeed, if he had stopped with elimination of the Jews, and not tried to take over Europe, would the world have fought back?

The psychopathology of the 4th Reich (bushies, in your vernacular) is really astounding. Some kook was on with Hartmann yesterday.
