    Dear IJ:

    If you could please find a way to provide more Obama coverage, I would certainly appreciate it. I simply can’t get enough of knowing absolutely everything our dearly beloved president does, no matter how trivial. My favorite news station has a different report each day for His first 100 days and I would appreciate it if you could please do the same thing.

    Since The Annointed One won the election by such a huge margin in November, I have been teaching my 16-month old daughter to pray to Lord Barack every night. Instead of writing to Santa, we wrote to him this year. Guess what? My little girl asked for more government spending and SHE GOT IT!!!

    My entire residence has been transformed into an Obama shrine. We’re particularly proud of the lifesize mashed potato sculpture in His likeness which graces our kitchen.

    Thanks, IJ…I know you won’t let me down!

    So, let me understand the enormity and importance of this announcement. Following on ‘Hartford’s’ decision to change their name to ‘The Hartford,’ Progressive Insurance is now ‘The Progressive’? Golly this really is big news. WOW!!

    Yes “De” Hartford has purchased a bank so they can get federal bailout money.

    So think about this, why not hire the person that probably came up with the idea of buying some teeny tiny bank so they could get in line for some of that federal money? Thay way you can limit the number of companies that are putting the bite on you.

    Good thinking Pres. Obama. But I wonder does he have that many cabinet positions available to get all of those creative thinkers off corporate payroll and on the Obama gravey train so the line for hand outs stops growing? ? ?

    How often are we going to have to say it:

    Your comments are unpatriotic!

    Support the troops!
    Support the commander in chief!
    Support the president!

    SFU!

    There now, how do you like a taste of your own medicine, you bunch of loser whiners?

    Whooooo! That hurt. I hope Phil didn’t bust open a hemorrhoid letting out all that pent up rage.

    And, Mo’Bama – Phil’s got a teensie weensie point. Let’s just see what the anointed one can do.

    Anyway, back to the point …Hartford.

    It just seems like there is nothing but inner circles feeding on each other, and running up our National tab. Republican, Democrat, it doesn’t really matter.

    What kind of sense does it make, that (The) Hartford can go out and buy a small bank, just so they can get in line for a hand-out. I was told that was true, and it seems to be true. But, think about it. If there were all that hand-out money legitimately heading towards that bank, why would they sell to Hartford?

    Hmmmm?

    I’m going to speculate that money was going to be headed towards Hartford, and they just used the bank as a semi-cover. So, why is that? How is that? Where are real investigative reporters in today’s world, figuring out why our country is being turned upside down, and inside out, in a rush to give corporations money that was taken from the people?

    The sheep better figure it out soon, or we’re doomed. It won’t matter if you wore an R or a D on your forehead beforehand, there is not going to be an America soon, at the hands of both party’s leadership.

    Hartford is just one more piece of the confusing puzzle. Confusing, in that nobody seems to be able to see the theivery that’s happening before our very eyes.

    That’s the way I see it.

    I don’t actually remember decrying that someone needed to support President Bush just because he was president (the troops, that’s a different story but since the troops aren’t the ones being talked about I don’t know why you brought them up except to try to jab at Republicans).

    Let’s point out that plenty of Republicans were against much of what Bush did during his presidency. I’m not just talking Joe-on-the-street Republicans, plenty of high ranking people in his own party objected to and voted against him plenty of times.

    Now that Barakolini is in office though it seems that any time someone speaks against him they are immediately labelled a racist or uninformed. As soon as a person asks him a couple questions he doesn’t like he shuts down the conversation. As soon as people start finding problems with his proposals the discussion is ended (and depending on how much press the problem gets it’s immediately changed – like condoms built into a 800+ billion spending package).

    The media love affair with this man is almost an embarassment (a CNN commentator actually said it was before the election).

    I’m not a racist (even campaigned for Alan Keyes for president years ago), but Barakolini is not the savior. I can accept him as my president without martching lock-step with what the Ministry of Truth (media) tells me I should feel.

    Sorry, not all of us have Chris Wallace’s tingly sensation running up our legs.

    That was Chris Matthews of MSNBC that got the chills when Obama spoke, not Chris Wallace of Fox News..
