Okay, here's another "Can they be this dumb?" post: Even Obama can't be this dumb. Posted By Uncle Jimbo • [April 07, 2011] The following came out of the professional messaging machine of the great communicator teleprompter-reader. The Administration strongly opposes House passage of H.R. 1363, making appropriations for the Department of Defense for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2011, and for other purposes. This is the one week bill to keep the government running and to make sure the troops get paid for the rest of the year no matter what. It is about the only thing in this whole mess that makes any sense. You simply cannot fail to pay troops you have sent to war. It would be disgraceful, and yet. If presented with this bill, the President will veto it. Really? Really Barry? You cannot be serious. This would be a low and shameful slap in the faces of all those who serve and their families. What an absolute ultra maroon. I hope he does it just so the whole country can look at what a complete tool we put in the White House. blackfive.net

RE:don't leave things alone and let Gadaffi crush the rebellion and keep the oil flowing and also don't do enough to make Gadaffi fall Let the Muslim Brotherhood/Egyptian Army take control of the Suez also. Obama and cohorts just aren't bright enough for this conspiracy to fly though. <G> They have no clue how markets operate.
