Let's play chess:
The Birthers have been allowed to bay and howl and suck members of the House into the cesspool, It's gone on for a long time with no notice byt the WH until........

The Swiftboater's book is coming out - The same scumbag who slimed Kerry with that very phrase, maybe enough to make the election close enough to steal...He has big bucks behind him and could mount a successful level of doubt in enough minds to get the election close enough to steal (again).

I think the appearance of the birth certificate has a lot more to do with that book than Trump, but YMMV.......Once there's a book to talk about, piece by stupid theory, more people will pay attention, the more 'credibility' it has.

Obama just flushed THAT all down the toilet. He torpedoed the swiftboater.....

And....

I believe they are trying to 'Carter' him:

Lately the price of gasoline projections - from 5 to 10 bucks a gallon are a replay of what happened to Carter and crushed his presidency (helped along by the Iran/Contra thingy.....) I remember the 'Embargo' - it was terrifying and people DID suffer and Carter got blamed....

Predictions of 6 dollar or 8 dollar gas REALLY make people nervous.....add to that the meme that Obama isn;t a true American and doesn't care about your suffering and they might have a meme that works.......Arugula salads on line one......
Cut to: The AG sez that there is 'Troubling' evidence that there is some price fixing and gouging by the oil companies........

That careful, low level statement is the first salvo to put the gas price turd into the pocket of the gas companies where it belongs.......

End of the early bird attempt to "Carter" the POTUS......

1. I have an Idea
Both sides get a team together and we play a game of baseball. If we win, they STFU, and if they win, they have to move to Iran. (Shhhh don't point out the obvious because they won't notice) :rofl: No professional players on either team.

2. What's funny is that they're still howling about the B.C. and ADDED his Social Security Number to...
The list of issues.

His SS number and something else is bothering them now, caught it on the radio driving through the East Bay on the way to Pacifica.

:P

5. I just love people who have hobbies - keeps the street crime down....
They'd be glue sniffers if they weren't birthers, I am sure.

4. It's broken - the tip of the elbow busted right off....
I had an Orthopedic Surgeon - one of the most BEAUTIFUL women I have ever been in a room with - hurt me bad enough to make my eyes water (i might have peed a little bit) when she smiled at me, shoved a needle in and drained the fluid off of it......
It's sore like a bad bruise and is tender...... unless I bang in on something, and then I get the stars and birdies.......fook me it hurts.......

6. Funny how some think the President is either a king or a god
and that he rules everything with some sort of absolute power

Like.... the president sets gasoline prices???? he does?????

since when????


Like.... about as much as he can tell Wall Street what to do

The President of the United States is not a monarch. He does not have absulute power. He has a lot of power, but he can't do everything... and control prices of anything is one of them

7. Carter got blamed for the price of gas - Not his fault, but he got blamed.
I wouldn't be surprised if the R's refuse to raise the debt ceiling and then blame Obama for the subsequent crash.....

I believe they are capable of that.

13. Since they control the MSM....they could very easily do that. Except
people have caught onto the Repuke games. They've watched Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Maine, FL, NJ., they've watched them try to bust Unions, destroy Medicare, destroy Medicaid, destroy SS, destroy our Public Education system and NOW, manipulate the gas prices through their CEO buddies in BIG OIL. I think the repukes have pulled their curtain back to the point that NO ONE will buy their bullshit anymore. People all over this country now know what they're all about. They've COMPLETELY exposed their Modus Operandi.

If they cause a Global Economic Collapse....they WILL live to regret it.

You ARE spot in your OP. That's exactly what's going on. I'm glad Obama can trump them with his "investigation" of manipulation.

9. Kick. Unfortunately, people will always blame Kerry for not doing nothing while Obama
gets lauded for standing up to the media and the GOP. The media lies about Obama 24-7, but when lie about Kerry and or Gore, people eat up like it's some ice cream sundae. :shrug:

10. Obama has benefit of oil reserve where as Carter didn't, Obama can cut oil companies ot the bone by
...releasing us oil reserves and calling us military not to use oil.

Gas will be under and dollar if that happened...my theory is he's letting them get theirs right now and if they screw with him later he'll crush them win or loose.

18. Lets throw a couple more levels onto this game
Reid forcing an upcoming vote on Ryan's Medicare busting plan...and fwiw Orly Taitz thinks the birth cert announcement was timed in conjunction with her upcomming court appearance on Monday.

Ahhh life's volume just got turned up a notch and I'm thoroughly enjoying this.

19. I LOVE the fact that Reed is forcing the vote.
I get the feeling that there IS a chess game on that level, too....
