Please screw up Obama

Almost 90% of Canada's exports go to the United States.

Thanks for asking (but not really caring).

 

What Caribou....Ice..?

Kidding.

However, I was stunned by the last two times I was in Toronto I stayed at the Fairmont Royal and there was virtually no watchable media at all. There was a bunch of Canadian produced nonsense TV. Hell, there was even no ESPN. But there was something called TSN with 24/7 hockey and Tony Mandarich...which I found amusing.

 

That's any president's most important task - to be an ambassador for their policies and their country. To achieve that they need to 'appear' in control and capable. Whether GW is capable or not, he doesn't appear it.

This clip is a little old, but sums up his public image nicely:

Quote from Pa(b)st Prime:

Well he's certainly not stupid. Those who say he is only make themselves look stupid. If a dummy can dismantle Ann Richards.....[/QUOTE] [/QUOTE]

Another great Richards line (though I despised her ass) about George Herbert "he was born on third base and thought he hit a triple"

 

The funny thing is although I'm pretty political I couldn't name another Canadian Prime Minister other than Trudeau and Mulroney. And Trudeau I only know because that fetching, young wife of his was whack off material for me when I was like 12.

 

Bilingual? You're not actually giving him credit for ENGLISH, are you?

 

You're staring into the abyss, man, it's the dark side that's calling you, don't do it, stay with us, suffer with dignity, support democracy a little while longer!

 

Speaking Of GWB

All Liberals - repeat after me:

"If he (who beat our sorry butt repeatedly and humiliated those who dared challenge his leadership, the best of the best that the Democratic Party could offer) is stupid, then WE must be True Idiots, the Kings of Morons, Laughingstock of the Universe!!!"

Right?

(Sorry, couldn't resist, never mind! )

 

OOPS! The Revenge Of The Far Left Loonies!!

CNN Poll: Nader Garners 6 Percent of Vote

by Rick Pedraza

"Independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader received 6 percent of the vote in a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll released Wednesday, bringing him closer to his goal of participating in the upcoming presidential debates.

The CNN/ORC poll of registered voters shows Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., and Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., in a statistical dead heat at 46 percent and 43 percent respectively, while Independent Party candidate Bob Barr received 3 percent of the vote.

Nader’s camp, who complains he isn’t given the same chance to promote his candidacy’s objectives as the other two major party’s presidential nominees, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., and Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., says he needs to poll nationally at about 10 percent to gain entry into the upcoming town hall debates, as well as the Google-sponsored internet debate set for Sept. 18 in New Orleans.

Staffers working on behalf of Nader’s fifth run at the White House are convinced the perennial candidate could poll as high as 20 percent if allowed to take part in the debates.

The Nader-Matt Gonzalez independent ticket plans to finish petitioning in at least 45 of the 50 states prior to the Sept. 18 debate.

Campaign operatives working for the candidate and his running mate, Matt Gonzales — a politician, lawyer, and activist prominent in San Francisco politics — feel anything can happen once a three-way race between Obama, McCain and their candidate is established.

At a news conference and campaign rally to be held Thursday in Hawaii, Nader will outline his party platform, which includes:

A comprehensive, negotiated military and corporate withdrawal date from Iraq;

A single-payer, Canadian-style, private delivery, free-choice public health insurance system for all;

A living wage and repeal of the anti-union Taft-Hartley Act;

A no-nuke, solar-based energy policy supported by renewable, sustainable, energy-efficient sources;

A carbon tax to deter global warming;

An end to the corporate welfare and corporate crime; and

A more direct democracy that emphasizes people over corporations."
