I watched the President's press conference on CNN this morning and all I got was a dull throb in my temples.

He was strutting around behind the podium, bullying the reporters, refusing to answer a number of questions, and just being a complete dick!

He kept talking about not raising taxes, and that any Presidential candidate that pledges to not raise taxes is going to be successful. Really? Does this "no taxes" bait and switch still work with voters?

In a country with a crumbling economy, and out of control foreign policy, and the hatred of the world focused on them, do we really base our support on who will keep taxes low? That just seems insane to me.

How long can the Republicans hide the cost of their policies by borrowing from China? I mean how long before those markers get called in and we have to pay back hundreds of billions of dollars? How high do you think your taxes will be then?

Do yourself a favor. Do not allow the Republicans to manipulate your emotions with such phrases as "no taxes", or "war on terror", or "family values", or "no abortions". These politicians do not really care about those issues. They just know that if they rub your tummy the right way they can get you to roll over for them.

You are a human being, with a complex intellect. Use it!

Here is a link to the entire speech. This reminded me very much of the last speech that Bush gave where he talked about America having 36 allies in Iraq and just seemed to be listening to crazed voices in his head. I think we may be watching the President of the Untied States decompensating right before our eyes.
