		<description>Bottom line-- a high percentage of the people at Fort Hood should never have been there in the first place. We&#039;re wasting lives and tons of money shippping people to Iraq and Afghanistan for the 3rd and 4th time who never should have been there in the first place.</description>

		<description>FACT:

Palin quit the Alaska governship so she could join the Bachmann Malkin crusade of Wingnut Conspiracies 101.

While babbling at a Wisconsin Right to Life, Noting that there had been a lot of “change” of late, Palin recalled a recent conversation with a friend about how the phrase “In God We Trust” had been moved to the edge of the new coins.

“Who calls a shot like that?” she demanded. “Who makes a decision like that?”

She added: “It’s a disturbing trend.”

Unsaid but implied was that the new Democratic White House was behind such a move to secularize the nation’s currency.

But the new coins – concerns over which apparently stemmed from an email chain letter widely circulated among conservatives – were commissioned by the Republican-led Congress in 2005 and approved by President Bush.

But Palin doesn&#039;t let facts stop her from a good anti-Obama smear, whether it&#039;s &quot;palling around with terorists&quot; or ridding US currency of it&#039;s national motto. Of course, we&#039;ll never know if Palin realizes the little factoid that a Republican led Congress unanimously voted for the coin and The Shrub approved it, because she&#039;s either A) duplicitous enough to lead the current group of lemmings she&#039;s speaking to over a cliff, or B) just  stupid. I think she&#039;s both.

Presidential $1 Coin Act of 2005 from the Bush Congress signed by Bushie

		<description>The coin episode is typical of how stupid Palin is.  That coin situation was actually passed long ago by a Republican Congress and the bill was signed by Bush. It had NOTHING WHAT THE EFF EVER to do with Democrats or Obama.

But Palin is just too damn dumb to use the  google or the bing.

I&#039;d love to hear an explanation from Palin of how to use Windows 7 or Snow Leopard. It&#039;d be frigging funny.

Belly button start button like awesome and but also</description>

		<description>Harvard Law Review members are there because of there grades.  That&#039;s the way it works in almost every US law school.

Being elected President of Harvard Law review was because of Obama&#039;s abilities perceived by fellow students.

Obama as a black, articulate person out of Harvard Law could have easily been a federal law clerk if not a Supreme Court clerk but he bravely chose to go work in Southside Chicago.

Few people would do that.

In contrast, @@ your gal Hillary flunked the DC Bar immediately upon her graduation from Yale and never had the guts to go back and take it again. She can&#039;t practice law anyplace but Arkansas right now.  NY Bar would be a challenge for her indeed.

I&#039;m not saying passing the bar has necessarily any correlation with how good a lawyer someone becomes, however it is a requirement that Hillary couldn&#039;t meet.</description>
