Oh come on you have to start thinking outside the lines in order to get things done do you not. I mean that is how they do it in Chicago.

It has been done but why move on. This guy is now in charge. If we move on what will he move on to? The stakes are a lot higher now then they were during the oops I dropped my pants so lets wag the dog Clinton.

BCS, well we have some work to do, but we’ll learn to color in the lines and be the better fot it. I see some of the wingnuts are still trying to make something of the 90’s

Oh Puh-LEEZE…the righties never really cared about Clinton dropping his drawers for Monica, that was just an excuse to go after him, coz they hated his politics.
If they’d realy cared about Monica, they would have been all over Bush for…
A. Inviting a male prostitute into the White House press corps ( Jeff Gannon. )
B. Inviting a porn star to dinner at the White House ( Mary Carey )
C. Putting his hands on a female head of state without her permission. ( German Chancellor Andrea Merkel )
Having said that, yes we DO need to keep on Obama over this. He needs to understand that the American people are going to hold him to his promises…now and for the rest of his Presidency.

HQ – when Obama acts unethically then you may yell at him for it. When his appointees act unethically you can yell at them for it. The only thing Obama has proven he deserves for this, is chastisement for lousy vetting.

Lalas, sorry, but it goes beyond lousy vetting. He was ready to give all three a pass on their tax mistakes - which at the very least should have raised questions about their character.
Still, Obama is an improvement. He publicly admits he made a mistake, and he corrects it. How many years did we have to wait to hear Bush say ‘I made a mistake’? Hmmm - it’s something like 8 years and we’re still waiting.

Spot on Plain Bill…that’s exactly what I’m talking about and why we need to keep on the President about this. If there hadn’t been an outcry, would Obama have admitted his mistakes and moved to correct them?
Which is still a lot more than Bush did…all we ever got out of Dubya when anyone tried to call him on a mistaked was blatting from his adoring fans about how ‘the Liberals and the media have it in for him.’

When Boy George’s goons did this; the colors ran all over the paper, the table, the floor, the walls…
