      Wow, Huckabee's "not sure" if he'd call President Obama a "little black man-child", a "boy", and an "angry black man."

      Perhaps he can get back to us when his is sure.

        Ah, the good ol' "not sure". It's about as infamous as the default "I' don't remember" or "I cannot comment about that at this point in time".

        Oh, you silly politicians.

      Half-way through Limbaugh's description of Obama, I wasn't sure he wasn't really describing himself (massive ego, immature, etc.).

      The irony of limpaugh calling ANYBODY else "narcissistic" is just stunning. It's like a really bad joke where you think teh funny must be the in the fact that the punch line would have to be something less obvious, but isn't.

      When I consider the Republican party of the last 15 years, and the influence of the "conservative" media on our politics, I get the feeling that in about 40 years after a reasoned perspective has been put on this period, someone's going to write a book called "The Dumbest Generation".

      He was elected as a senator to the United States Congress, Mr. Huckabee. And, there is no requirement that a presidential candidate be first a captain of industry, or have their own business before they can apply. He hasn't run anything? He ran a very successful presidential campaign in 2008, something you yourself have utterly failed to do.

      As for 'letting him be commander in chief' check the ballots from November last. He IS the commander in chief, chosen by the people and duly sworn. There is no 'let' to it.

        I gotta tell ya, kitty, Obama didn't run ANY campaign, it was run for him and you know it! As for being a "captain of industry" or running a business, it sure does help to have that kind of experience(unless you are the first, ever black president). Few, if any, senators make good presidents.

          So, you'd like to take into account the vast business experience of a Connecticut yankee who failed at the oil business in Texas? Because he was a stellar president, wasn't he, puppienrainbows? (just a little sarcasm in that)

            See, The_Cat, this is why you wouldn't make a good right wing nut.

            puppy clearly told you something, that Obama didn't run his campaign, it was run for him.

            Sure, any sane adult understands that a campaign is run by the candidate and his staff, and understands this when you write that Obama ran a successful campaign. The more confused types will latch onto this to say that Obama didn't single-handedly run his campaign, in a desperate attempt to distract from the real topic and try for some weak "gotcha".

            And then puppy told you that you know this thing that he's been confused into believing.

            And you just laughed at him and ignored it.A good right wing nut loves to be told that he knows things that are made up.This is why trying to have a conversation with people like puppy aren't very productive.Their starting point is that you know things that are fictional, just as they do.

              You're likely right, Col. Harlan Sanders. It's probably my decidedly independent feline streak (hence the screen name). I try to believe seven impossible things before breakfast, but I often just can't choke them down. My 'reality' filter tends to jam them up. :)

              As for being a "captain of industry" or running a business, it sure does help to have that kind of experience(unless you are the first, ever black president).


              So, I just went back into the past to verify your argument, and, surprise, surprise, the very first example I came across didn't seem to back you up. Maybe you'd prefer that future presidents have some experience playing second banana to a monkey instead? ;)

                    I don't believe anyone is irredeemable, puppienrainbows, but your continued insistence on this kind of blatant and pointless racism, which you are now trying to say I perpetrated, does strain the limits of credulity.

                      It was you who made the analogy, not me. If you can't make yourself clear from the git-go, I have to guess who you are referring to. If my guess is incorrect, it is you who are to blame.

                        I posted the clarification specifically stating I was referring to former president Reagan. You replied by once again bringing up Joe Biden, in a cheap and hateful racist attack on president Obama. I pointed out that this was in fact a racist comment, and you once again blame me for something you yourself have done.

                        There was no need to guess. I made myself very clear. You chose to be a racist, and side with hate. That is all on you, puppienrainbows.

          So, did you vote for our former president? If you did, you voted for a man who was a TOTAL failure at everything he ever did except be the son of a wealthy, influential man with lots and lots of rich friends to bail him out [including that devil George Soros]. And don't cite his stint as Governor of Texas to show his "executive" experience. The Governorship of Texas is basically a backslapping, handshaking position. Our Lt. Governor has much, much more power than the Governor.

            Thanks for doing the leg-work, bintx. Apparently there were, before Obama, four presidents who were former senators (Harding, Truman, Kennedy, and L. Johnson). Hmmmm. That makes three average or better Democrats and one miserable failure Republican. I guess that's another good thing that Sen. McCain lost!

              Actually, there were quite a few more, though I had to look elsewhere to find it (www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/common/briefing/senators_became_president.htm). Of course, adding Nixon to the list hardly improves the Republican side any!

          You obviously have not been a manager or you would be very aware that to be successful, you need to surround yourself with smart, competent, problem-solving people. The President did just that in his campaign. Have you graduated high-school? Just asking.

      Jabba the Ego forgets President Obama's state senate experience.

      President Obama has enjoyed a greater, more important experience in public office 20 minutes after being sworn in than these psycho wingnut congressman, etc. will have their entire life.

      In fact, when was the last time we had a President who was a "captain of industry"?

      Republicans should always be careful when lecturing anyone about presidential qualifications. I remember leading a discussion in Sunday School several Novembers ago, and the topic came around to this. Here, in a nutshell, is what they said their perfect presidential candidate is:

      1. A professing Christian
      2. A hard worker
      3. A person of unusually high intelligence
      4. A person who sympathizes with the plights of others
      5. A person with a traditional family
      6. A person with positive experience in business
      7. A person with positive experience in politics
      8. A person with positive experience in the military

      When the list was done, I told them to be careful what you wish for--"You've just chosen Jimmy Carter!" And there was complete silence in the room.

      By comparison, G.W. gets checkmarks for #1 and #5, and Reagan for #1 and maybe #7. Woefully inadequate.
