You may have a business card of someone buy you are lying when you say it is "by the book" to keep a president if the United States in place for 23 minutes when terrorists know where he is, we are being attacked from air and there are zero air defenses scrambled over head.

Now why don't you stop being so sensitive that you can't be logical if someone calls you a name (so strong!) and tell us why it isn't the stupidest thing. On earth to keep holding o to the notion that the scared rBbit reading pet goat was actually doing right thing.

"Bush is such an amateur, so indecisive, that he choked under pressure. He should have rushed to direct our defense against the terrorist attacks. But he’d rather read a book to some kids.This criticism is too lazy, too cute. To me and many other political aides, it seemed obvious what had really happened: Card had whispered a brief update, lacking details, and had*not*urged the president to cut his public appearance short. How much information could Card have given in those few seconds? Was that long enough to convey the full scale of the emerging picture?And what was the urgency in Card’s voice? I can tell you this: If you work for a public official and need him or her to immediately drop everything and come with you for an emergency briefing, no matter what the assembled media might report, then you would just tell the official that. You wouldn't whisper a lengthy explanation in their ear in front of a dozen news cameras. It was absurd to think that Card urged the president to leave the event and that the president just ignored him. It seemed far more likely that the president was told:*It’s bad, but we’re on top of it, and we’ll be ready to brief you in a few minutes, so sit tight.*Bush would have concluded that his highly competent military and intelligence advisers were forming a game plan. Rather than make a sudden exit from a public event, one that would trigger unhelpful speculation about an emerging crisis, he wrapped the event up quickly but casually. I had a hard time saying that was unreasonable."

Do you think Ike would have sat there for 7 minutes? I think not.

Cujo

What an idiot you are Cujo. The Secret Service would be determining what Bush should be doing at the time, not the oresident himself. God you liberals are as dumb as rocks!

I'll get shot from the left, and the right, on this, but hey, Switzerland is used to it...

But, re: Global Warming, Climate Change, whatever we are calling it now -

I honestly think we would be hard-pressed to think that man has had no affect on the climate.

I also know that we have gone through periods of changing climate every 10,000 (approx) years for as far back as we can go. We are in this time now. We also can be pretty certain that at the last cycle, there were no man-made affects to the climate to compare our analysis to.

So, it is possible, that yes, man has affected the climate. And, yes, that climate was going to change no matter what. And, yes, we could be changing it faster than in any time previously. And, yes, we could slow that change...but, also, that we could not?

Armchair Climatologists, have at it...

I think there's something more alarming going on than the spike in CO2 level charts. Our global system of air currents, ocean currents, cloud patterns, resonant temperature cycles, energy storage and release mechanisms, and further processes is mind-bogglingly complex.Presently, the best climate models fall many orders of magnitude short of the power and intricacy needed to effectively predict the long-term climate patterns that emerge from the interactions of all these planetary systems. And that's not a failure of science; it's just the reality of how tough the problem is.

Geology? Awesome. Where did you go to school? There aren't that many geology programs anymore really. Bachelors or advanced degree?

There aren't???

Not the OP here. Are you mad? Trump was back pedaling today. How often does that happen?
Blaming media for miscommunications what Francis said and then saying how great a guy Francis is. Note absence of corresponding conciliatory gestures in return. That's trump showing he is the subordinate male here. Remember, he claims he knows law of jungle. Loser preens the winner next day. That's what trump signaled when he went to press today.

Francis 1 Donald 0

Once again, Nah.

This is what Card actually said ...

"I made the decision that I would pass on two facts, make one editorial comment and do nothing to invite a question or start a dialogue.

I opened the door to the classroom and the press pool was gathered at the back of the classroom. I walked up to the president and leaned over and whispered into his right ear: “A second plane” — I was very very succinct, very purposeful with my diction — “A second plane hit the second tower. America is under attack.” And I stood back from the president so that he couldn’t ask me a question and then I inched my way back to the door. I was all business. I was all business."

Hilarious. BO couldn't recite the pledge of allegiance without a teleprompter. Empty suit. He would have peed down his leg in thwe same situation. Michelle keeps his manhood in her purse right next to the ring dings.

These are the Republicans and their choice for President...

North Charleston, SC – Donald Trump closed his South Carolina campaign on Friday with a rambling speech highlighted by a giddy, almost childlike, enthusiasm for torturing and summarily executing the suspected enemies of America in the name of safety.

Trump was in free-association mode ahead of Saturday’s primary, dwelling for an extended time on one topic, like heroin in New Hampshire or Japan’s monetary policy, and then jumping to another.

“I’m really good at the trade,” the billionaire told a crowd of thousands. “I’m really good at the borders.”

The standout topic, however, was terrorism and national security. Trump repeated – favorably – an apparent myth about how General John Pershing summarily executed dozens of Muslim prisoners in the Philippines with tainted ammunition during a guerilla war against the occupying United States.

“He took fifty bullets, and he dipped them in pig’s blood,” Trump said. “And he had his men load his rifles and he lined up the fifty people, and they shot 49 of those people. And the fiftieth person he said ‘You go back to your people and you tell them what happened.’ And for 25 years there wasn’t a problem, okay?”

The story appears to be a hoax spread via e-mail forwards, according to rumor tracker Snopes.com, with no evidence it occurred.

The moral of the tale, according to Trump: “We better start getting tough and we better start getting vigilant, and we better start using our heads or we’re not gonna have a country, folks.”

Trump was unimpressed with waterboarding, a banned interrogation tactic that he has pledged to bring back against suspected terrorists, and supplement with far worse forms of abuse.

“Is it torture or not? It’s so borderline,” he said. “It’s like minimal, minimal, minimal torture.”

In a previous speech, Trump called his opponent Senator Ted Cruz, whose father was tortured as a young man in Cuba, a “pussy” for not sharing his zeal for the practice.

Trump went on to boast how fears of terrorism had boosted him politically, including in South Carolina where he leads a number of polls by double-digit margins.

“When Paris happened, everyone started saying, ‘We want Trump!’” he said. “The polls came in, 60 percent, 70 percent, 72 percent. This is 72 percent with 17 people running. Now we’re down to 6, we got rid of all these people. It’s so great. It’s so great.”

He tied the San Bernardino shooting into an argument over gun rights, saying the body count could have been minimized if the office workers who were murdered had been armed.

“If there were guns on the other side pointed at the other direction so the bullets are flying both ways you, wouldn’t have had that happen,” he said.

Trump’s speech was a hit with the audience, which cheered throughout.

Trump supporter Eleanor Crume, 72, told MSNBC afterwards that she agreed with Trump’s stance on waterboarding because terrorists should not be “pampered.”

“We need someone who can lead the country because people are scared to death,” she said. “It’s only a matter of time before terrorists come and start chopping Christian heads off in the United States.”

South Carolina Lieutenant Governor Henry McMaster, Trump’s most prominent endorser in the state, set the tone for the event before Trump came on.

“How many of you feel real safe right now?”

“Nooooooooo!” the audience droned in response.

“We’re gonna change that,” he replied.

.....what people NEED to feel whose brand has been beaten twice by him. Just typical sour loser sour grapes stuff.

He's leaving the ring undefeated. Never laid a glove on him. Just on the expansion of marriage rights and ACA will go down as great presidency. You know it.

Agree on gay marriage. The ACA is a disaster and is going to get worse.

Not sure how you define a great presidency but BO has been awful on every measure. Economically, foreign policy, and the most racially divided we have ever been since the Civil Rights movement.

ACA "getting worse" a fact free opinion. Argued till cows come home. Cost curve blunted, more people insured. I don't listen to the whining insurance companies as they obviously have an agenda.

We could review many statistics that say that isn't so. Again a partisan issue. Relative to what he was handed he's been a big success. Depends on your perspective.



foreign policy,[/quote]

Also disagree. Lot to debate. Awful? Absurd unless you have an agenda. Bush foreign policy was awful.

and the most racially divided we have ever been since the Civil Rights movement.

Only thin he could have done here was either (a) not run since a black man winning obviously activated a lot of white racism (b) kneel in fealty to whites and apologize for winning.


We are racially divided because from day 1 congressional republicans said no cooperation. The fact that the entire republican platform right now is about xenophobia shows that.

Where there is xenophobia racism is usually nearby. Fear the other.

Middle East is an absolute disaster, Russian aggression is at an all time high since the Cold War. More Americans on public assistance than ever before and historically low labor participation rates.

On race. Ferguson was based in a lie. Perpetuated by racism from Blacks then fueled by racist comments and actions from Obama to Holder. This has fueled an open season on law enforcement regardless of color.
