Polling Lessons For Obama From Oklahoma City

Saturday, January 15, 2011


"Wow. You really invest a lot in that power of the bully pulpit thing don't you? Have you ever tried to convince the folks in the NRA about anything? Do you get the 24 hour news cycle?

Nah, Obama can't be bothered.

He can't be bothered with too big to fail, too big to nail and too big to jail because he's too busy extending the Patriot Act, the drug war, gutting FOIA, expanding the wars into new sovereign nations, continuing reindition and t0rture, involuntar­y preventive detention and k!IIing of American citizens with no due process, legislativ­e or judicial oversight.
