Olbermann leaves Kos
Keith Olbermann, criticized at Kos for his rare putdown of Obama the other night, takes his ball and goes home.
What’s the big surprise—did he fail to study his French Revolutionary history?

And they haven’t even got to where they claim his father is really his nephew and questioning whether he has a vagina.
The Left: diversity in everything but thought.
“… did he fail to study his French Revolutionary history?”
I was sort of hoping he’d stick around for his Robespierre “face up in the guillotine” moment.

I wish Joe Barton would have had Christie type of smarts and articulation to properly state the case against Obama’s extension of executive power in demanding the $20 billion escrow account. Christie would not have used the words “shakedown” or “apology.” And given Barton’s record with Big Oil, he was the worst possible mouthpiece. Republicans: snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory. But Barton is right!
It’s not merely the escrow itself but the background of the actor and the context in which it occured that makes the event wrong. It is one of those type of events that seems right, given the outrage and need of the people. But more will come of this. More unintended consequences that will show Obama, once again, doesn’t know what he is doing.
Constitutional scholar? Hah!
Curtis: Here’s what a law professor says about it.
Barton hit the nail on the head: “You’re under criminal investigation. Would you …uh… like to agree to make a financial contribution?”
Is there just a small but noticeable whiff of impropriety there?
I doubt that Obama has ever read the entire Constitution. Looked at the pictures, maybe. Someone should put the Constitution on a teleprompter.
Maybe he couldn’t get past the warning lable
Also from vanderleun’s Wikipedia link:
Does that remind anybody else of someone recently elected to high political office?
The Robespierre comparison doesn’t work. He was competent.
Artfl – yeah, the first words are “We, the people…”
Neo, thank you for that link to Mr. Jacobson’s blogpost.
An excellent article by Mr. Jacobson.
“This is a case where the imperial whim of the President, and the shrewd business acumen of BP, joined forces in the ultimate inside-the-beltway deal.”–quote
So is Obama a part of this inside dealing or merely a useful puppet? If Obama is a puppet, who is doing the dealing?
What the hell is wrong with these mealy mouth focus group obssessed PC republicans making Barton apologise for his apology? God almighty these people have no idea the coordinated effort it will take to bring these commie b*stards down. Failure to do so is not an option.
Off with his head?

It’s what the group knows that you don’t know that makes one appear to them a certain way, or to you.
When a person knows something and is with a group that doesn’t, they think that what he knows is wrong, because they don’t know it and they think they would.

See a heads I win tails you lose paradigm?
(Which favors the collective whether its full of knowlege or dumb as a post?)
So what’s my point?
