If Karl had The Math, one has to wonder how old his calculator (or abacus) was...

"Rove said that in fact, the Bush administration prepared a strategic review of the war in Afghanistan last year and -- in conjunction with the Obama transition team -- didn't release it publicly, but handed it to the Obama team instead."

Yes genius boy, that means 7 years into the war, you're finally given it attention.

Fact of the matter is, no incoming president in American history has ever inherited to endless, ongoing wars tripled by an economy on the verge of collapse. This was a first Mr. Rove. All brought about by the Bush administration. Bragging that you gave your successor a plan for an 8 year war is mind numbingly deranged.

In regards to amabo66...I am a staunch Democrat yet I have to agree with you. The Dems have really made a total mess and Obama has been a disasterous leader. He speaks a great game, but has not been able to execute anything. The House is just as bad. The real issue with the Democratic party, unlike the Republicans is the Dems are a series of groups all of whom hate each other. The blacks hate the gays, the gays hate the Hispanics, the Hispancis hate the whites, the feminists hate everyone. There isn't a core cohesive group. Say what you will, at least the republicans have the nut case right which hold it all together. I fear the Dems will lose and lose badly because they can not get their act together.

At this point, the Dems are going to gain seats in the Senate. Almost all of the Dems are safe, and they will "saften" up as we get closer. 5 Repukeliscum are retiring, and the Dems will get NH, OH, and may be KS. They will certainly hold IL. It is not beyond conception that the Dems will have 66 Senators after Nov next year. Remember that it is now 12 months until the election. The economy, thanks to Obama's wise leadership, is coming around. He is pulling out of Iraq, and fixing Afghanistan. He is going to have a health care bill, and it will have a public option.

As a Dem, I look forward to the midterm election. We will do well.

Ignore Fox
Obama's right. It's time to stop taking the network's skewed news seriously. http://www.slate.com/id/2232563

"Any news organization that took its responsibilities seriously would take pains to cover presidential criticism fairly. It would regard doing so as itself a test of integrity and take pains not to load the dice in its own favor. At any other network, accusation of bias might even lead to some soul-searching and behavioral adjustment. At Fox, by contrast, complaints of unfairness prompt only hoots of derision and demands for "evidence" and "proof," which when presented is brushed off and ignored."

it also says . . .

"Let's do a quick study of our own. Five people are quoted in this article. Two of them work for Fox. All of them assert that administration officials are either wrong in substance or politically foolish to criticize the network. No one is cited supporting Dunn's criticisms or saying that it could make sense, morally or politically, for Obama to challenge the network's power. It's a textbook example of a biased news story."

Numbers Guy...I AGREE with you entirely...with that said, never under estimate the intelligence of the American people, especially if younger voters are not motivated. All I said, and I believe there is truth, both parties are splintered, I just feel the Dems (which I am) are more splintered...they are not all white conservative Christians. The Dems, if you look at them really are a party of all "minority" groups that really don;t like each other. The only thing that binds them is their hatred for the other side. In the long run that is not a startegy to win.

The Democrats make the Keystone cops look like a precision drill team. Remember that it was not Dems that gave Obama the WH, it was Independents. 2010 will be a real hoot ... bring plenty of popcorn.

Operation Iraqi Liberation....remember that little joke?

If ever historians can unearth all the bad deeds of Karl Rove, America will be horrified and disgusted. They will also be outraged that he was able to go on to a TV job instead of prison cell.
