ya man, stroke of genius…

“I would just like to say something, ladies and gentlemen. Something that I think is very important. It is that, you, we — we own this country. We — we own it. It is not you owning it, and not politicians owning it. Politicians are employees of ours.

And — so — they are just going to come around and beg for votes every few years. It is the same old deal. But I just think it is important that you realize , that you’re the best in the world. Whether you are a Democrat or Republican or whether you’re libertarian or whatever, you are the best. And we should not ever forget that.

And when somebody does not do the job, we got to let them go.”

@Buc Lover, I’m happy if we are, but I’d be more comfortable if I had the better looking hair. And minus the waxing of course, its more of a niche crowd thing, I understand. Love Sigur Ros, recently saw Dead Can Dance here in DC, was on my bucketlist and was amazing.

@jaywrong, I might not throw all of them out, but I certainly would 90+ percent of them. I’m not sure which list trumps the other, yours or mine…ok, it’s mine! Seriously, certainly both lists relay a powerful message, however, on your list are some things I’d find equally comfortable putting on my list of H&C disasters. We may be more alike than you probably care to think (except for that waxing fetish), in that I don’t give either side a free pass either, and I have several Sigur Ros tunes on my mp3 player. Keep up the good work. I’m all for thought provoking reads.

@Buc Lover, I’d drop Vogelsong or Villanueva. And if you’ve got a plan to vote all of em out, I’ll tear this Obama Biden sticker off of my thigh. Heck, I’ll let you do it if you are into that sort of thing. I don’t appreciate politics, I just follow it and like poking fun at both sides, if you’ve read some of my previous stuff.

But you brought reasons why Hope and Change didn’t work. Here are some of why it did work for me… (I respect all view points.)

ears…people:

Saved the banks
Brought the stock market from 6,500K to 13,000K
Saved GM
Repealed DADT
Ordered a Mini Dream Act
Created 4.3 million jobs
27- straight months of private-sector job growth
Passed Healthcare
Ended the war in Iraq
Drawing down from Afghanistan
Doubled the Number of Border Security Agents
Appointed First Hispanic Justice
Restored America’s Standing in the world
Dealt effectively with the BP Oil Spill
Dealt effectively with the Pirate Crisis
Dealt effectively with H1N1
Kept America Safe
Passed Financial Reform
Passed a Credit-Card Bill of Rights
Passed Equal Pay for Women
Nearly Wiped out Al Qaeda
Killed OBL
Took out Gaddafi for 999 Billion less than the cost of Iraq.
Added Eight-yeas of solvency to Medicare
Quit smoking
And got a dog

All of this was done with a republican opposition to every single thing he tried to do.

Dirty Harry has had better days for sure, but one thing is certain, he ain’t no Keynesian (no, I didn’t say Kenyan). I’m thinking that in retrospect, he’d have probably been better off placing a sign in that now notorious chair. It would read:
SINCE HOPEn’CHANGE TOOK OFFICE:
The price of regular gasoline is up close to 100 percent.
Real median household income has actually fallen.
The national debt rose nearly 50 percent in less than 4 years, and he wants to borrow more!
The unemployment rate is still over 8 percent. It less than that before Jan 2009.
The number of long-term unemployed (those out of work 27 weeks or longer) has increased by over a whopping 100 percent higher.

Also, I’m looking to trim down my pitching staff in a 12 team rotisserie league as I’m closing in on my 180 games started cap. Which three would you cut? Miley, Vogelsong, Bumgarner, Villanueva, Samardzija, Iwakuma.

@P Lamb, I love me some Jaso. I think Donaldson will crash soon, but there might be a bit more power there for this week only. Bonus points to Jaso if OBP is a cat.

McCann losing time and stinking; Have Jaso backing up. Should I stick with him or grab Donaldson, Kottaras, or Kratz?
