hmmmm…Chavez wants good relations with US “if” Obama elected…
“Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said he wants to “shake hands” with his US counterpart, Barack Obama, and have “good relations” with Washington “if” the two leaders are reelected this year.”
” if the two leaders are reelected this year”
IF is the word…. seems like even hugo is worried huh???

Well, it’s expected that Obama would bypass Congress on this. Otherwise he’d never get who he wanted in.

You see, Obama thinks the economy will improve by itself, Obama thinks that our economy will start getting better anyway. So he plays a numbers game, starts manipulating the numbers and counting things that are debatable as part of success numbers.

Then just like when Osama was caught, Obama can take credit for the self-improving economy even though he really didn’t do anything to improve it.

Everything Obama has done so far has undermined improvement to this economy, and he has successfully laid the blame onto Republicans in almost every liberal’s mind. Obama didn’t even realize how long it would take to improve this economy because of his favoring of his constituents over the improvement of the economy.

In fact, I would say the opposite is true. Obama has done everything in his power to stagnate this economy so that it would start to improve just before he ran for president just enough for him to win the presidency. If Obama wins this next election, I get the distinct feeling that we will see the real Obama over the next four years, and I wouldn’t be surprised at all if it actually ended up being more than that due to some economic catastrophe that most liberals still agree is all Bush’s and the Republican party’s fault.

Intellectual? He was smart enough to go against ALL of the Republicans and lay waste to every one of their arguments in an unscripted and televised event.

If he alone can best the GOP in a live debate and you consider him unintelligent then what does it say about the folks you voted in?

And BTW, I voted for Hillary, not Obama in 2008

Lizzie—better yet maybe he was just “PRESENT”!!! I have to laugh at their attempt to portray him as an intellectual when they still haven’t released his college transcripts, grades, thesis, law exam score/placement etc, What do they have to hide and why would they bother??? It is almost like when the group Judicial Watch had to sue them to get the cost to the American taxpayer for another one of Michelle’s trips— South Africa. Didn’t Obama say he was going to run a transparent administration?? Just one more example of the arrogant Obama’s saying one thing and going another. Are Democrats/Independents really this gullible??

POSTED BY: JJ | JANUARY 5, 2012, 1:01 AM 1:01 AM sorry Bush did not destroy the democrats did for 2 years by 2008, but you brainwashed individuals for whom it is easier to be told what, where, when and how so you don’t have to use the few braincells you have left, its all the other sides fault.

The neocons love recess appointments when their man is President. BTW neocons, Reagan and both Bushes had a far higher RATE of recess appointments than Obama. I have seen Richard Cordray since his early political career in Ohio, and three points to be made. 1) He is amazingly intelligent. 2) He is eminently qualified for this post. 3) He will bite Republicans in Ohio in the butt in the future, mark my words!

Elena Kagan wrote less than 2 years ago:

“Although a President may fill such vacancies through the use of his recess appointment power … the Senate may act to foreclose this option by declining to recess for more than two or three days at a time over a lengthy period. For example, the Senate did not recess intrasession for more than three days at a time for over a year beginning in late 2007.”

She’d best remember what she wrote when this reaches the Supreme Court.
