>> Barack Obama has shown, time and again that he succeeds where Rs fail.

It is easy to "succeed" in negotiations if you define success as caving like a one-egg pudding.

Which is precisely what Obama has done time and again. I'm not the only one who has noticed this, although I was aware of it early on, long before the TV critics became vocal about it. But today, no one is giving him the benefit of the doubt. He is just an idiot when it comes to negotiating, and I suspect that contributed to his failure as an attorney.

You consider Libya, Sudan, Egypt and Syria successes?

Nope, you're not a partisan hypocrite. Not one bit. If you believe this stuff, you need to be locked up because you are a danger to yourself and other people.

USA Today Probes Important Question: 'Too Many White Guys' On Wisconsin Basketball Team?

.........................................................................................................
NewsBusters ^ | April 6, 2015 | 11:20 PM EDT | By Tim Graham

Racially obsessed USA Today on Friday wrote this headline: “Wisconsin doesn't hide from 'white guys' reputation.”

Josh Peter assembled current and former Badger players, former assistant coaches, and “authorities on the African-American experience” to answer: “Why is the Badgers' roster predominantly white?”

When the Final Four is played Saturday in Indianapolis, all five starters for Kentucky, Duke and Michigan State will be African American. Wisconsin's starting lineup, by contrast, includes one African American, forward Nigel Hayes.

The average Division I men's basketball team this season includes nine African-American players and four white players, according to data provided by the NCAA. At Wisconsin, the roster includes five African Americans, 10 whites and one Native American.

This year's starting lineup is no aberration. When Wisconsin played Kentucky in the Final Four last year, it had one African American in the starting lineup. When the Badgers reached the Final Four under previous coach Dick Bennett in 2000 — in the school's only other appearance since 1941 — it had one African-American starter.

Former Badgers point guard Jordan Taylor told of being was needled by a teammate about Wisconsin's chances against undefeated Kentucky.

"He was just saying we've got too many white guys," Taylor says with a chuckle. "I still get kind of poked at, teased about it, because it always seems like there are about four white guys and a black point guard all the time (in Wisconsin's starting lineup)."

No mention of the fact that the average NCAA tournament team has 9 black guys and 4 white guys, even though black people make up 12-14% of the population of the country. I guess racial make-up only matters when there are fewer minorities than there "should" be. The real answer is the team fields the best players they can recruit regardless of race. Sports is about winning not race...unless you're a liberal.

EVERYTHING is about race, now.

It's amazing that in basketball, of all things, someone is complaining about too many white guys.
