    this is SO overblown

    This doesn't put the Senate in a spot at all.

    They said what they're going to do and then a probable criminal tried to defy them. Afterward, with the backing of the country's first African-American President, they reaffirmed this despite Blag's choice of a respectable African-American politician.

    The first time Harry Reid has EVER shown spine and I read fifty news sites saying that this puts him in a spot.

    It doesn't. Blag has no credibility and no popular backing. What's he going to do? Nothing! He can't!

    This is a gigantic contro-faux-sy.

    Re: Should the President Really Be Reading Two Boo

    If Bush was reading 1.8 books a week, then I want a President who reads 20, not fucking ZERO.

    How on earth anyone could hold the opinion that the President of the United States SHOULD NOT READ is un-fucking-believable.

    A List of Obvious Red Flags:

    • Bad example to children?
    • Cutting of a source of new perspective?
    • Source of mental exercise?
    • Source of new ideas?
    • Expanding one's cultural perspective?
    • Example to the rest of the world?
    • The President is a human being who's job is leader of this country and just because he's got that job doesn't mean he should sacrifice everything about his personal life because that is completely unreasonable to expect of anyone?

    Just because an idiot hasn't turned his reading into anything resembling positive change doesn't mean reading is the problem. An idiot is an idiot.

    I'm really, really disappointed with this post.

    um, duh?

    I think most Republicans with any future aren't going to be gearing up for a 2012 run, because anyone who is intelligent enough is going to bet on Obama's presidency being a two-termer.

    The two-term bar has been lowered intensely as of the last two presidents, lets face it.

    Anyone who goes up in 2012 is someone the Republican Party is trying to ditch.

    Love it!

    I created an account (I've been a DailyKos member and mydd lurker for some time) just to respond to this.

    I am a writer and would be incredibly interested in this.
