he could have actually gotten a boycott which would have made them fire him or an el nino cot. the little hitly stuff, can we all just universally agree that there is no hitler but hitler? hitler is only as bad as hitler. no one can come. stalin stalin was stalin. mou was his own brand of bad wow. not to use the boiler plate, but he was trying to make a really bad joke. he wasn t saying that he loved fidel, and in his own unfunny way, what he was trying to say was he admired his resiliency. everyone and their mother tried to kill fidel from the cia and the guy still lives on. he admired that, but he didn t say he loved the man. i know it is a little hard to take him seriously, but it is a valid point.
end medicare as we know it. steve, this was a carefully written speech in the teleprompter carefully delivered. he doesn t need those words in a tell prompter when he s in florida campaigning. that s the memorized boiler plate florida campaign. this was the dress rehearsal for next seven months everywhere. what obama is doing is the updated version of the bill clinton re-election campaign. he was down and out after the 1994 midterms and he got the gift of a far right republican congress that was devoted to deep cuts in the social safety net. it was medicare back in 1996 and medicare in 2012 and other issues raised by the paul ryan budget but bill clinton was successful in 1996 to defend himself as the defender and chief of the social safety net. newt gingrich was more the chief foil and it s more paul ryan right now. this is exactly the kind of plan that obama wants to run against. i hate to say this. i think there might be a little mischief on the part of the white house.

distort the truth and divide americans in order to distract from his failed record. his empty promises are quickly becoming broken promises and the american people will hold him accountable for this violation of their trust. your response, the white house response to congressman paul ryan. well, what i d like you to do is contrast that brief bit of boiler plate from congressman ryan to the substantive fact-filled presentation the president gave today. what s lacking from congressman ryan and what is lacking in his budget are any of the statistics and facts and numbers and math to back up his promises. what we know is that in order to pay for substantial new tax cuts for the wealthy, the money has to come from somewhere. and it s going to come from nondefense discretionary spending, only. and from entitlement programs like medicare and medicaid. so what it means is, more tax cuts for the wealthy in order to pay in order to pay for them, the middle class and seniors get stuck with th
second. i have been bending over backwards to be fair to the occupy yes, sirs, and as as enjoyable as that has been, should i be done with them? yes. sorry, i m out. it was great. i supported them from the beginning and i felt like one of them. but i think it has run its course and now it is an embarassing stain. before it was not everyone was happy with all of the bailouts. in the books, done. now it is so nuts. wouldn t shut up about something and kept blocking cars and screaming and it was embarassing. and it becomes it is your disan derd boiler plate lefty whiners. it is worse than that. this is the paranoid weirdness comes out where i think about buying a cabin. in vermont? no. don t even dream of that, andy. those days are over. the idea that this is going toward someplace dark. it is not just harmless whiners. it is going to be violent.
