Quote of the Day

"I think having a moratorium on new 
  federal regulations is a great idea
    - it sends a wonderful signal to the
  private sector that they're going to
  run f***king wild like BP did..."
    -- the Boner,    Link
In response to House Minority Leader John Boehner's (R-OH) suggestion that we need a year's moratorium on all regulations to give the American people some "breathing room." Now, tell me again, Senator Boehner, "Just WHO gets breathing room.
Sure sounds a lot like the fat cats who line your pockets would be the ones getting the so-called breathing room.
jd, I would suggest that you people in Ohio could surely elect someone with more sense than that were it not for the fact that Oklahoma has two of the dumbest senators ever to grace the hallowed halls of D. C.
At least we have an excuse; most of the rest of the nation think we're a bunch of uneducated hicks anyway.  What's Ohio's excuse, I wonder?

"In the political marketplace, there's now a run on Obama shares. The Left is disappointed  with the president. Independents are abandoning him in droves. And the Right is already 
dancing on his political grave, salivating about November, when Gibbs admitted Democrats might lose the House. I have a warning for Republicans: Don’t underestimate Barack Obama...
Obama is down, but it’s very early in the play. Like Reagan, he came here to do things. And he’s   done much in his first 500 days. What he has left to do, he knows, must await his next 500 days
 - those that come after reelection. So 2012 is the real prize. Obama sees far, farther than even   his own partisans. Republicans underestimate him at their peril."

Krauthamner is a conservative columnist who speaks for the Republicans in most of his material.

By the way Reagan's popularity dropped to 30% during his first term, and he also lost the mid-term elections.  So, what else is new?
