I love my 2005 Chrysler 300 :)

The man is a complete ass (mcconnell).

President-ELECT Obama is doing what chimpy should have done. There isn’t any competition between an idiot and a thinker.

Let’s hope the people of Florida take a long hard look at the Bush family legacy before allowing this idiot into the Senate. Most serious for Jeb of late are his ideas on forming a shadow government in light of the recent Republican massacre at the polls-

Pappy Prescott Bush-War profiteer during WWII. Was integral in an attempted coup of the American Gov’t. Was involved with the Pioneer Fund, an early eugenics research group that among other goals, hoped to prove scientifically that “negros were inferior”.

Jonathan Bush (brother of George H.W.) was a Division President at Riggs Bank, which collapsed in 2004 after paying $41 million in fines for money-laundering and fraud. Riggs concealed illicit transactions for Saudi royals andformer Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet. Riggs Bank held the account of Saudi Arabia’s US Ambassador Prince Bandar for whom Jonathan was longtime financial adviser, and whose wife sent more than $80 thousand in Cashiers’ checks to a San Diego address, that wound up funding two of the 9/11 hijackers.

William H.T. “Bucky’’ Bush (another brother of George H. W.) made more than $2.7 million through the sale of a company, Engineered Support Systems Inc., with millions of dollars in Iraq war contracts. He was also cited by the SEC for withholding bad news from shareholders while he cashed stock options worth $450,000.

George H.W.Bush-Involved with the CIA during the Bay of Pigs, longtime friend of the Bin Laden family, broker of the Iran/Contra scandal and deeply involved in the cover-uop with Dick Cheney.

George W. Bush-AWOL during his Texas Air National guard stint, two stolen elections, ignored warnings leading up to 9/11, started illegal war in Iraq, coddled his Saudi friends despite evidence of involvement in 9/11, more more profiteering for oil buddies, contractor friends. Ignored warnings and sat on the sidelines through two recessions, ignored Katrina victims, politicized every facet of gov’t, illegal wiretapping, torture etc.

1982, huh? Reagan sure got a quick start on cutting off the American dream to all but the top 1%. Am I the only one holding the opinion that as the cost of college rises the quality of the student body declines (kids coming to college not to learn and appreciate the halls of higher ed, but to drink and flaunt their parent’s money)?

Those who truly deserve to go to college and appreciate college are increasingly unable to go. This is a severe blight on our democracy.

America will have to get used to a man who speaks intelligently in complete sentences, who keeps the public up to speed on his decisions, and wants to hear all sides of important issues as he studies them. WOW. To those who say Obama is not changing much, I say change has already come to America, in a big way.

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Stephen Johnson argued that the new rule would “protect Mining companies, mining executives & mining lobbyists.”

Bushspeak unraveled…

It will still be an uphill battle. Florida went blue in 2008 after voting for Dubya in 2000 (yeah, yeah, I know) and 2004. And even in Florida, the name “Bush” will still be enough to turn off independents and moderates — even allowing for short attention spans. And he can’t get elected with the hard-core GOP base alone. Heck, even the Cubans can’t be taken for granted as being automatically red anymore. If Jeb’s smart, he won’t ask his brother to campaign for him.

Even if Jeb does get elected Senator, that will be the end of the line for him. He can thank his brother for poisoning the well for national office, or even for his gaining any prominence in the Senate. After FDR defeated Hoover in 1932, it was 20 years before the GOP regained the White House. And they still distanced themselves from Hoover. After Nixon, it only took the Republicans six years to get it back, but very few from the Nixon days had any role in it (Haig and Kissinger were two who survived — and even they wouldn’t have if either of them had the name “Nixon”).

The Republicans will regain the White House someday. But they will have to reinvent their party to do it, and anybody named “Bush” will be relegated to the back row.

It is with the consent of Congress – the Clean Water Act of 1977. It was under the Clean Water Act that the Office of Surface Mining first adopted the Stream Buffer Zone Rule in 1983, under President Reagan. This new action is just a rewriting of an existing regulation already in the jurisdiction of the Department of the Interior and the EPA.

So it should be easy for the Obama administration to re-reverse the rule, but it may have to go through the regulation/public comment process again – I don’t know if it’s a simple stroke-of-the-pen maneuver.

What competition? Bush is an idiot. Obama is not. No competition.
