Oh, I used a different phrase but it means the same thing.
This from the guy who assumed office saying he was going to reach out and filled people like me with such hope?
I guess I would expect such behavior from a heroin addict. I'm sure the MSM will cover that up just as they covered up Bush's drinking. It's a pattern with them.
The arbitrary and deceitful drug war insures that only those who are uncooperative with the agenda or a basis for distraction will face repercussions for such behavior.
Party on, Obama. You sure are acting like an addict.

What else the Globe will not tell you today:
"The White House said Friday that Elena Kagan’s membership on an advisory panel for the securities firm Goldman Sachs Group Inc. wouldn’t disqualify her for a position on the Supreme Court.... From 2005 to 2008, Ms. Kagan was a paid member of the Research Advisory Council of Goldman Sachs Global Markets Institute, according to financial-disclosure reports she filed after being appointed to her current job.

Obama Chooses Kagan For Court
Here is all the glowing and voluminous print from the Boston Globe today (full, all above-the fold coverage)
"For the court, a broker’s skills" by Susan Milligan and Alan Wirzbicki, Globe Staff | Globe Correspondent | May 11, 2010
WASHINGTON — Some civil libertarians are unhappy with the Kagan pick, pointing to her writings and statements that suggest she has what George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley called a “very fluid’’ view of the First Amendment. That perspective, Turley said, could tip the court to the right on matters involving hate speech.
Further, liberals are unhappy with comments Kagan made during her 2009 solicitor general confirmation hearings, when she endorsed indefinite detention of suspected terrorists in some cases.
How many times can this guy stab you in the gut and back, liberals?
How many more times?
“For civil libertarians, the nomination is nothing short of a thumb in the eye,’’ Turley said....

"At Harvard, dean eased faculty strife" by Jonathan Saltzman and Tracy Jan, Globe Staff | May 11, 2010
Although some conservatives are denouncing her as a liberal and some liberals are calling her a conservative, people who know her at Harvard say she is no ideologue.
The s*** fooleys for 'murkn consumption!!
I'm full up, sorry, BG.
Her hires in recent years include Jack Goldsmith, a former Bush White house lawyer and prominent skeptic of international law, and John Manning, an administrative law expert and constitutional scholar.
The Goldsmith hiring in 2004 triggered a backlash, as critics on the faculty questioned whether Goldsmith, who had served under Attorney General John Ashcroft, helped write Bush administration memos authorizing torture of suspected terrorists....
Does it matter? He worked there.

"Into battle over Kagan; Democrats hail pick; GOP hits her experience" by Mark Arsenault and Matt Viser, Globe Staff | May 11, 2010
WASHINGTON — At first glance, US Solicitor General Elena Kagan, 50, the former dean of Harvard Law School, seems a strong bet to be confirmed. Although ideologically she appears to be left of center, she endeared herself to some judicial conservatives during her tenure as Harvard Law dean by appointing conservative faculty members.
She also has expressed support for holding suspected terrorists indefinitely without trial. In her confirmation hearings for solicitor general, she agreed with Senator Lindsey Graham, the South Carolina Republican, that under military law there is no requirement to release captured prisoners during a war....
And if the wars never end.... draw your own conclusion, reader.
A summer confirmation process, in the months before the November midterm congressional elections, provides an added dose of political drama to Kagan’s nomination.
Translation: The MSM is going to shovel you this s*** all summer as the world crumbles and the country is looted.
Obama scored a major victory this year with his health care overhaul bill, and Congress is making progress toward passage of another major priority, a broad overhaul of Wall Street regulations.

All the politics is BS -- which is why the AmeriKan MSM spends so much time, space, and print covering them. They can't talk about the real problems behind the MSM s***-sheen of a cover-up curtain because those are the exact agendas they are promoting.
Thus they must fill us with bulls*** and lies day after day after day.
A smooth hearing on Kagan, following last year’s confirmation of Justice Sonia Sotomayor, could add to a sense of momentum for the president.
Translation: the MSM is set to realease some new rigged pols showing Obama's approval up as the whole country turns on the guy.
Look, I was one of those independent, middle-of-the-roaders that wanted to give him a chance. He discourages and disappoints me more everyday, so much so that I have given up on him. He's just a drug-addicted tool like the last guy.
Smooth may not be on the agenda, however, at a time of intense political polarization and disagreement about the reach of federal power. Debates are raging about the requirement that Americans buy health insurance, for instance, and whether terror suspects should be advised of their Miranda rights.
Republicans are likely to pound Kagan for her decision at Harvard to bar military recruiters from using the campus career services office in protest of the ban on openly gay members of the military. Kagan banned recruiters in 2004, but reversed course the next year after the federal government threatened to withhold funds from Harvard....
Great, a justice who can be extorted. Just what the court needs.

So how will the Court look come fall?
"If she’s confirmed, court would have no Protestants" by Lisa Wangsness, Globe Staff | May 11, 2010
President Obama’s nomination of Elena Kagan to the US Supreme Court represents a turning point in American religious history: If Kagan is confirmed, the high court will not have a single Protestant member.
Not that I really thought of it much, but that is CERTAINLY NOT REPRESENTATIVE of America!
More than half of all Americans are Protestant, while less than one-quarter are Catholic and just 1.7 percent are Jewish, according to the US Religious Landscape Survey by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life.
And yet they control most if not all the major institutions of America.
How did that happen?
But, if Kagan is confirmed to the bench, the nation’s highest court, dominated by Protestants for most of its history, will be made up of six Catholics and three Jews.
Oh, Catholics are KINGS of the COURT, huh?
Yaaaaaaay!!
As a fellow Catholic I am so overjoyed I can't tell who how much I love this court:

Gee that last one sure is interesting. ILLEGALS have the RIGHT to ADVICE saying they could be DEPORTED if they plead guilty to a CRIME.
Meanwhile, YOU WILL BE STRIPPED of YOUR MIRANDA RIGHTS, U.S. CITIZEN!!!
WHO is this GOVERNMENT REALLY SERVING, huh?
Martin E. Marty, professor emeritus at the University of Chicago Divinity School, said that these days, the question of whether there should be a distinctly Protestant voice on the court would elicit “a big yawn’’ from most mainline Protestants.
“I was in an Episcopal church in Chicago on Sunday, and there were a lot of movers and shakers there, but we didn’t sit around after and say, ‘How can we get one of us on the Supreme Court?’ ’’ he said.
That's because the evangelicals are also big-time Zionists.
Evangelical Protestants have been slow to embrace or to feel welcomed by elite law schools like Harvard and Yale that have become a veritable requirement for Supreme Court nominees.
One reason for this, some scholars say, is an anti-intellectual strain within evangelicalism.
Do you like the insult from the supremacist screed we call a "newspaper" around here, readers?
Ever notice that every religion or race is described as just a little nutbar in the newspaper -- save for the one special religion, readers, who are portrayed as the most benevolent souls that ever existed?
“Evangelical Christianity has tended to be a populist religion that’s strongly democratic, in urging people to read the Bible themselves,’’ said Mark A. Noll, a history professor at the University of Notre Dame. “All these are traits that have positive sides, but not for intellectual preparation and education.’’
Yeah, you WOULDN'T WANT THAT in AmeriKa!!
Not with the SLIM MINORITY of 1.7% of the people calling the shots.
Therefore THEY MUST BE DENIGRATED just as the CATHOLICS (oh, yeah, no Pope story today; you are losing it, Zionist MSM).
But
If I had a nickel for every time I saw that word in the newspaper I would have a banker's bonus on my hands the last week. They love that word!!!
Noll and others say this is changing. Like Catholics and Jews of the last century, evangelicals are increasingly realizing that they need intellectual credentials to acquire institutional power in America.
Influencing the high court is of special importance to evangelicals because of their opposition to abortion....

Also, note what is ABSENT. There is no mention that he was a practicing Muslim. NO mention of a mosque, no mention of religion at all, yet FIX News as part of their war-hysteria, keeps referring to him as a Muslim terrorist.
My read is that Shahzad is another Joe Stack, who was forced to watch a lifetime of work dissolve before his eyes because the US Government destroyed the nation's economy, and Congress bet their own fortunes on the downfall. The media is trying to sell "terrorist" because they fear Americans understanding that their fellow Americans have reached the breaking point, and striking back at the bankers and the politicians is the nest logical step on the path to the collapse of the nation." -- Wake the Flock Up

"New York Car Bomb Incident: Another False Flag?
by Stephen Lendman
On May 1, New York Times writers Al Baker and William Rashbaum headlined, "Police Find Car Bomb in Times Square," saying:
"A crude car bomb of propane, gasoline and fireworks was discovered in a 'smoking' Nissan Pathfinder in the heart of Times Square on Saturday evening, prompting the evacuation of thousands of tourists and theatergoers on a warm and busy night."
Mayor Michael Bloomberg claimed "We were very lucky. We avoided what could have been a very deadly event."
This looks like a deception. The timing during the nuclear conference is very interesting.
"Faisal Shahzad: An Ordinary Man
The day after President Obama made his Predator joke at the White House Correspondents dinner, Faisal Shahzad, a Pakistani-American, was in the middle of Times Square trying to blow the place up. I’m not saying there was any connection, although you never know: yet there is indeed a link between the casual arrogance that allowed an intelligent man like our chief executive to joke about a deadly weapon that has killed more innocent civilians in Pakistan than actual terrorists.It’s why they hate us."

"Miranda warning laws may be altered" by Anne E. Kornblut, Washington Post | May 10, 2010
Remember, readers, the Washington Post is the CIA 's newspaper.
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is considering changes to the laws requiring police to inform suspects of their rights, potentially pursuing an expansion of the “public safety exception’’ that allows officers to delay issuing Miranda warnings, officials said yesterday.
Those things are such a part of the culture. They are in every cop show.
I guess some scripts will have to be rewritten, 'eh?
And HOW IS THIS BETTER than BUSH, DemocraPs?
And WHERE is the "AmeriKan LEFT" that would be SCREAMING ABOUT THIS were it the Bush Administration?
Attorney General Eric Holder, in his first appearances on Sunday morning news shows, said the Justice Department is examining “whether or not we have the necessary flexibility’’ to deal with terrorist suspects such as the Pakistani-born US citizen who tried to detonate a car bomb in Times Square last weekend.
PFFFFT!
“We’re now dealing with international terrorism,’’ Holder said on ABC’s “This Week.’’ “And if we are going to have a system that is capable of dealing in a public safety context with this new threat, I think we have to give serious consideration to at least modifying that public safety exception.’’
What a TREMENDOUS DISAPPOINTMENT HE has ALSO BEEN, huh, America?
The announcement marked a potentially significant change by the administration as it tries to manage the politics of national security after repeatedly coming under fire, mainly from conservatives, for being too willing to read Miranda rights to terrorism suspects. The administration is trying to thread a difficult needle: of taking a harder line on terrorism while also doing so within the confines of the criminal justice system.
Oh, yeah, I forgot: sig heil, sir.
You happy?
More: Stupid Eric Holder: Miranda Rights Should Be Modified For Terrorism Suspects
You know, when you look at it his way I agree.
Maybe he will be in the cell next to yours, American.
Holder and other administration officials said they would be engaging Congress on putting together a proposal for the changes to the law, which requires suspects to be told that they have the right to remain silent and that their statements may be used against them in court. They did not provide specifics of possible changes.
The BEST THING that can happen at this point is the AMERIKAN EMPIRES COLLAPSE, America.
It has become a GOVERNMENT NOT WORTH SAVING!!!!

"How Is The U.S. Economy Supposed To Succeed When Our Politicians And The Big Banks Are Making Billions Of Dollars Betting Against It?
It is one thing to make a legitimate profit on an investment. It is another thing entirely for the biggest financial institutions in the United States and our politicians to be making massive amounts of money off of the economic collapse of America.
You see, those making huge bets against the U.S. economy also have an incentive to do what they can to make those bets profitable. So for those who have the power to do so, does there come a point where they give the U.S. economy a little “push” in the wrong direction so that their bets will pay off?
"This is why the Congress and the White House are doing absolutely nothing to turn the US economy around; too many are benefiting from the real financial hurt in which so many Americans find themselves right now." -- Wake the Flock UpNo wonder nothing has been done in years and they just cut off unemployment benefits they called stimulus a week before.
"Our Congress, the finest Congress money can buy, sold us into debt slavery to the Federal Reserve without our permission. 90% of Americans told Congress not to hand public money to private bankers to save them from their own greed, but Congress did it anyway, then laughed about it afterwards.
Now we are finding out that Congress was betting their own fortunes on the collapse of the US economy! The more you suffered, the richer they got!
Now the politicians are saying that "we" have to pay back all the money that "we" spent. "We" didn't spend it; the politicians did, with reckless abandon and in defiance of the expressed will of the people. That means we live under a system of taxation without representation, because Congress did not represent the will of the people, but only the interests of itself and the bankers with whom they engaged in betting against the US economy.
And in that little school I went to in New Hampshire, I was taught that taxation without representation was sufficient grounds to fire the entire government. -- Wake the Flock Up
Yeah, WHO ARE the "TERRORISTS," America?Under the public safety exception, statements obtained pre-Miranda may be used in court — including to charge suspects — if it is determined that police needed to obtain information quickly to prevent further crimes. Once an immediate threat is ruled out, the Miranda warning must be read, under current law.
I never expect anything from the authorities anyway, so.... not in AmeriKa.
Not in Obomber's AmeriKa, not anymore.
The public safety exception dates back to 1984, when the New York Police Department caught a man they believed was an armed rape suspect, only to discover that his loaded gun was missing from his holster.
The Supreme Court ruled that it was legal for the police to question the suspect before reading him his rights because the loaded gun — which he had tossed in a grocery store as he fled — was a threat to public safety and it was imperative that it be found immediately.
