These are all Political, but I thought I would post them because they put the words into my mouth.
It's ok to call Bush BusHitler, but when the tables are turned, suddenly the liberal left are thinking it's outragious
Seven Promises Obama broke with the Stimulus Bill
Pakistan surrendering to Taliban Thugs
WNBA star selfish for pursuing Motherhood over Career? What kind of insane world have we become when a 22 year old married woman is criticized for wanting to be a mother?
A hypocritical Obama Quote You kidding me?
Another Crazy Quote!
Gun legislature being introduced, and this time it could very well pass
Maybe our healthcare system isn't perfect, but we should take lessons from Britain and Canada before we nationalize ours
And on a totally Unrelated to Politics (ok sort of related) note, 5 Things that You think will make you happy but won't, I often read Cracked.com for these lists, and this one is surprisingly good! Caution, some f-bombs throughout. Maybe I'll post a post commenting specifically on this?
These are some posts I've read over the last week or so that I found interesting. A lot of them came from Conservative Grapevine which is a regular visit in my day to day perusings of all things internet. I also check out Michelle Malkin, Hotair, Instapundit and RightWingNews often for articles and opinion. Of course, there is also the bloglist to the right there that I check out frequently too, different posts at random.
I think I'm going to start doing a post like this about once a week, saying 'this is what I found this week that's worth checking out. Read and make your own decisions' type thing.

Jon Stewart Offers Criticism of Obama
I should have posted this when I originally saw it. But alas, never to late, eh?
Obama at a press conference. Floundering pretty bad. And Jon Stewart making light of it. Pretty funny!

Politics
When is this mess ever going to end? Seriously?
Why is the topic of politics really such a polarizing topic that is conducive to starting arguments anyhow?
We went out to eat sushi today and we started discussing politics and we had to quickly change the topic to keep it civil. But it was at this discussion that I came to realize something.
You know, I really don't have a problem with Obama as a person. Because truthfully, he is just a person doing probably the most alienating job in the world, and there is no way anybody could pay me enough to want to be president, seriously. I don't see how anybody would want to run for president. I have a problem with him as a politician. Kind of like like I have a problem with all politicians, but mostly liberal ones. I disagree with their viewpoints and their stances and what not. Like I highly disagree with this stimulus (no wait, it's a recovery bill now, right?) that I think is not going to fix anything.
But honestly, I have discovered the people i really like to poke fun at are his die hard followers who can't seem to see past the subtle fact that Obama happens to be another person who happens to speak very well, which is generally what Politicians do. But the first thing I would like to note is that he is a Politician. When can you ever trust a politician? Never, that's when. You can't trust anything they say, you have to trust them on their actions.
Which is kind of difficult with our current President.
Anyhow, I'll try to keep the Obama bashing to a minimum. But his minions are fair game.

Bush Gaffes vs Obama Gaffes
So, did you hear how Obama tried to walk into the Whitehouse using the window instead of the door? It was an innocent mistake really, but it falls in line with some blatant hypocracy from the left when a similar incident happened to Bush in Beijing. People used this as an example of how stupid Bush was, when it was really just a simple mistake. How was Bush to know that door was locked?
See, in my opinion, these little mistakes are meant to be laughed at and nothing more. Bush was chronic for them, and it appears that Obama is not immune either.
I don't really see Obama saying '57 states' was really that important, more of a slip of the tongue when it is obvious he meant 47 states. Big deal.
And of course, don't forget the self described genius Joe Biden and his penchant for mispeaks.
But it's the same with Bush. Bush is not an idiot like some people would have you believe. He did attend an ivy league college after all. Bush sometimes did some dumb things, but he could laugh at it and people laughed with him (or at him, depending on your political views).
I find it funny, however, how some people react to the President when he makes a mistake. It was easy to laugh at Bush for eight years, but the Messiah is above this. How could anybody make fun of Obama! He's perfect, just prone to mistakes from time to time.
Sure, whatever, he's prone to mistakes, which means he was human, like Bush was. But I am sick of people stating how brilliant Obama is when he has made similar mispeaks when they point and laugh at Bush and use his mispeaks as evidence against his intellect.
I've had my misgivings with Bush, who was definitely a Moderate but many democrats fail to see how moderate he really was, but I think his little 'Bushisms' are harmless for the most part. I'll admit I am guilty of the same thing.
But because Bush is a Republican, people will always hold that against him. Look at Dan Quayle, he'll never live down that title merely because of an innocent mistake involving the word Potato.
I don't hold Obama's mispeaks and gaffes against him, but I'll laugh at them, especially if they are telling of who he is, like distributing the wealth being good for everybody.
Did you hear the latest bit? Apparently since he's from Hawaii (he hasn't lived there in years) he likes to be warm, so he turned the heat in the oval office up. Where's that Chicago Toughness he was talking about in regards to snow in DC? Rather, it looks like hypocracy and naivity.
Sounds like he can talk the talk, and he certainly can talk, but I have yet to see this guy really walk the walk. Do as I say, not as I do. Isn't that the model for Democrats?
So if Obama and Biden have their little Gaffe Parades going on, don't mind me if I point them out and make fun of them. Since the left has been doing the same thing to Bush for years and now is all offended that somebody would dare do the same to Obama.

My Biff with Obama
I refused to watch the inaugeration yesterday. I wasn't feeling well to begin with and I wanted to keep some of my stomach.
You see, I'm not exactly thrilled with our new president. And I will respect his office becuase he was elected president. But I just thought I had better things to do with my time then to listen to a lot of TV pundits go on and on about how great Obama is. Nobody has any criticism for this guy?
Even comedians appear to be lamenting that there is nothing to mock about this new 'hip and cool' president who appears the only qualifications for the office he holds is he's an ivy league college grad, been in the senate for two seconds, and he speaks well. And don't forget he's black, which appears to be the primary reason for likely half of the people who voted for him voted for him.
I noticed some of my liberal friends were commenting, "We have a black president now! History is being made! This is incredible!"
All I am thinking is, what have we done? We just elected an inexperienced individual to the most powerful office in the world. But don't worry, it won't be that for long. As soon as Obama becomes President of the World, he won't need to be in the silly office of President of the United States anymore. If there even is one.
Am I being a little harsh and possibly judgemental? Maybe. But I'll give the man this. I'll give him six months to prove to me that he has the capacity to lead this nation into something other then total economic ruin and failure. That's more then a lot of people gave Bush, who were criticizing him from the moment he took office. But nobody can have a negative thing to say about Obama. If you dare raise question of his awesomeness to his faithful followers, they will wonder how you could be so unpatriotic as to defy the exhaulted one?
You know, the liberals have been harping that the myth of the quote 'dissent is the highest form of patriotism' to me for the last eight years as their reasoning for lamenting what they call the 'Bush fiasco' or whatever. So what if conservatives dissented against a liberal president for once? Where would that lead us? Remember, conservatives are the ones with the guns.
Now, do I want Obama to fail? Absolutely not. At least, I can only Hope that he doesn't plunge our economy with massive deficits and manages to keep our nation safe. But I'm not holding my breath on this guy who campaigned on empty promises of 'Hope and Change' so that the words have lost all purpose and meaning other then to go synonymously with Obama.
But I'll give him this. He has some pretty adorable daughters.
