And I thought the town smelled bad on the outside!
"Everything that brought you here -- all the things that made you a prisoner of past sins -- they are gone. Forever and for good. So let the past go... and live."

"Somebody, after all, had to make a start. What we wrote and said is also believed by many others. They just don't dare express themselves as we did."

In any event it's unlikely that Obama will lose in 2012; and it's too early to seriously consider 2016.  In the US it's difficult to unseat an incumbet president.  In the twentieth century all the ones that lost faced a strong third party candidate (Bush Sr., Taft), a challenge in their own party (Ford, Carter), or the Great Depression (Hoover.) 
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Obama faces the Great Recession, belongs to a party that's turning out to be quite a challenge, and will surely face Lyndon LaRouche. :)

I'd say wait to see what the story really is, and why the kid got the evaluation. This seems to have been very poor reporting so far.

Agreed.  A couple of spots in the article sound like the school has had reason to question this kid's stability before.
Experience bij!

They love talking about her, yes, but always cast her in a very negative light.  If the public is constantly told to hate Sarah Palin, it's not going to help her campaign very much.

apparently she makes $200,000 a speech right now. I think she's beyond help. ;)

Anyhoo, I await Sarah Palin's inevitable idiotic comment about this. :)


You realize she might be your next president do you? 



G.
Though she now is apparently polling nearly as well as Obama in some respects.   :huh:  And her book is a big hit, selling over one million copies in a very short time. Sheesh...


Probably because Obama is still all over the news and she isn't, relatively speaking. If she did get the nomination, you'd see her poll numbers return to low levels as everyone remembers just how much they hate her.

It's a hell of a lot easier to be a professional blowhard than to be elected President.  Sooner or later Glenn Beck is going to try to run for some political office and you'll see what I mean. ^_^

I just can't see a president 'Larouche' - sounds too much like 'douche'.  But then again it's Amerikka so who knows heh?

Dunno whether you know anything about Lyndon LaRouche, but if you do you should know I was trying to make a funny by bringing him up. -_-

I knew a guy who was dedicated to Larouche.  Always going on about how terrible the UK is and how the Jews must be destroyed.

Most Laroucheites always seemed to be non-Americans. I was accosted by a couple some years back. Both fucking foreigners attempting to lecture me.

It's weird, but back during the 1976 Democratic primary campaign (which was the 1st time he ran for President AFAIK), LaRouche (and IIRC, that's how it was written back then) he was pretty much a mainstream Democrat, or at least that's how he was portrayed in the few stories that I ever saw the media do on him.

Mainstream Democrats were kinda crazy for a while.
