'Let's Roll' Obama-style

Interrupting his Hawaiian holiday Monday afternoon to address the events surrounding the failed Christmas Day terrorist bombing of an airliner over Michigan, President Obama vowed an all out pursuit of those responsible, vowing "we will not rest" until they are captured and tried.

Whoops, wrong picture:

There, that's better. Nothing says steely resolve quite like the sight of a man in his Tevas.

But Don't Take Their Word For It...

I'm glad the President is above cheap political scare tactics to further his agenda.

What's In A Name?

From the New York Times, reporting on President Obama's effort to rally House Democrats in advance of yesterday's health care vote:

Mr. Obama, during his private pep talk to Democrats, recognized Mr. Owens election and then posed a question to the other lawmakers. According to Rep. Earl Blumenauer of Oregon, who supports the health care bill, the president asked, "Does anybody think that the teabag, anti-government people are going to support them if they bring down health care? All it will do is confuse and dispirit" Democratic voters "and will encourage the extremists."

It would appear now that even The One is using sexual slang to marginalize dissenting opinion.

Does this mean people can now start referring to the anti-Prop 8 crowd as "c**ksuckers" without reprisal?
