#15  "One of those click on 'em web ads to test your IQ claimed then-candidate Obama's IQ is 120."

Is that all? That's not very high.

#14  One of those click on 'em web ads to test your IQ claimed then-candidate Obama's IQ is 120. I am truly ashamed at my response.

#13  Smartest president ever?

More like the first Affirmative Action President ever.

#12  I'd be stunned if the POTUS is even in the top half of "smartest" presidents ever.

Middling at best, with great capacity for short-time recitation/test-taking skills, but for wisdom or insight, let alone creativity - not near the top of the list.

#11  In defense of the USPS, they are "mandated" to deliver every day to every address at a set rate.
Fed Ex, UPS doesn't meet any of these 3 criteria.
A birthday card delivered across town costs the same as delivered to Guam.
My point being, the USPS is exactly what an organization run by mandates looks like, and supports why I am opposed to Obamacare.

For a long time I thought "mandates" refered to getting together with the guys to watch to game...

#10  You'd be surprised at what they'll get away with. Most Americans don't follow politics and the majority of those that do only follow headlines. Hopefully there are enough people going to protests that most people will know someone and can get a first person account.

#9  I like to think of the President as a great uniter - of people against his programs. I've never seen such a broad base of people activated like this.

#8  Commercial couriers came about as a result of inefficiencies in the US Post Office. Their pitch for a Government-funded Health insurance plan is the exact opposite. This isnÂ’t Obama simply misspeaking again. This is Obama throwing in the towel on the Public Option.

#7  Yes B, he did. Arrogance my friend, unbridled arrogance.

#6  The little girl reading from prepared notes, asking about those evil people with signs standing outside the lovely town hall meeting...., absolutely too much. Did the poor helpless, simple minded bastard think he could get away with that one?

#5  How few knew that Obama made it through Harvard on Cliff Notes.

#3  Seriously, Rove has a weekly column in the WS Journal. This week he accused BHO of still "campaigning" even from the White House.

There is a Presidential etiquette rule: NEVER APPEAR WEAK. At least the Clintons came out of their Health initiative fiasco; BHO looks clobbered already, and this is prior to the real legislator political season. Actually, Reagan attacked opponents with bare knuckles, as President.

#2   The Post Office is now getting Joker poster problems.
