From "He's an SOB but he's our SOB" to "He's your SOB."

President commits political suicide by jumping from the "precipice"

A few days ago, our Glorious Leader, Barack Hussein Obama has sobered up and made a surprisingly astute observation about his Medical Care bill: "From the discussions we had, it's clear we are on the precipice of achievement that's eluded Congresses, presidents for generations -- an achievement that will touch the lives of nearly every American." For those unclear about the usage of the word "precipice" - let me remind you that it means either "an overhanging or extremely steep mass of rock, such as a crag or the face of a cliff" or "the brink of a dangerous or disastrous situation".

Let them. Parker is from a small community. Everybody already knows all there is to know. And remember, thanks to Bill Clinton and the democrats, sex drugs and rock and roll don't count anymore. So what are they going to say?

Huntsville isn't exactly a small community at 175,000, but there was a bit of dirt during the primary. What are they going to say? Maybe that he rooted for Florida against Alabama a few weeks back? That's the sort of thing that would get him fired 'round here.

Florida! He's gone too far. He's done.

Full disclosure: I'm a University of Texas fan, and though we are clear underdogs against the Crimson Tide, I still feel the disclosure should be made...

I suppose those snotty little Democrat aides haven't figured out that Griffith has been in office long enough to also know where some bodies are buried and dish out a bit o' dirt of his own.....

If nothing else this just shows that there is absolutely NO difference between politicians of either party. Duh.

Two questions,

1. If they knew he had skeletons in his closet, why didn't they disclose them earlier? Shouldn't the voters know?
2. How many other politicians do they have dirt on? Shouldn't they let us know if we have corrupt public officials?

I demand a full investigation. Could this be covered under the RICO law?
