Thanks to you a new acronym is born:

BVDBIED - BVD borne IED.  It&#039;s a little trickier to say than the VBIED - vehicle borne improvised explosive device and also confusing if the BVD wearer is riding in a vehicle, but we can never pass on the opportunity to incorporate a new acronym.</description>

		<description>Speaking of security for Americans. . .why is manpower and equipment, once again, being diverted from intelligence gathering to monitoring environmental change? (Bush had halted this use of CIA resources)

Will this mean all &#039;climate&#039; data gathered will be classified and we will have to believe what ever the Golfer-in-Chief deems data results? Is he doing this to leverage passing the Cap &amp; Trade Bill instead of protecting us?  Is he that uncaring about our country and the American Citizens. . .(sarcasm alert -- you do not have to answer)

I heard that someone will be fired/&#039;decided to work in the private sector&#039; in a day or two because of the BVD Jihadist. . .too bad we can&#039;t pick who should go!</description>

		<description>As I learned while still a young pup, (as an assistant manager for the F.W. Woolworth Co.,) the new guy gets a free 6 months to blame the old guy for all of his ills.  After that, the bosses get tired of the nonsense.  It comes down to this, who do we ask, if you, the guy in charge does not have our answers.  The Zero campaigned for this job.  The American people want actual, and not theoretical results.  So far, everything this idiot has done, has made everything worse.  So while it all very well may have been Bush&#039;s fault, (something with which I strongly disagree,)  You don&#039;t get any points for reporting that too me.  In the year since he has been President, he has only accomplished one thing which could be construed as marginally positive.  (He managed to not screw up the Samali Pirate thing.  Although, most believe he was credited for something which others did well, and his inability to screw it up was more luck and lack of proximity than anything else.)  He has been able to inflict massive damage to our economy, private industry, national security, world standing and diplomatic relationships, and God knows what else.  The Blame Bush game no longer produces the results he is hoping to.  By the middle of February, it will cost him to slip in the polls with every mention of Bush&#039;s name or any appearance passing the buck.</description>

		<description>Obama is a man of the left and like the rest of the left he has a raging case of BDS.  I don&#039;t believe there is a cure for this malady.  It just gets worse as time goes by.  He and they will never let up.They cannot let up and they cannot move on.  They only look back and seek to punish Bush and anyone in his administration.  Recall their removing the W from all the computers.  Petty minds indeed.</description>

		<description>It is so obnoxious that Obama wave sthe flag and calls for unity at the same time he&#039;s attacking Bush, and by extension those of us who supported Bush. But as you say, he&#039;s been doing this all along.

And you&#039;re right, he&#039;s not the President of the United States. He&#039;s the President of the Left. And they&#039;re not even happy with him.</description>

A kind of redundancy that&#039;s been said in previous speeches, and already believed to be true by so many others.  It was unnecessary in 2010, plain and simple.  40 years from now, when being interviewed and he mentions Iraq, is he going to have to knee-jerk piggy-back it with the mantra, &quot;which had nothing to do with 9/11&quot;?

In a speech calling for unity, sticking that in there does nothing except be partisanly divisive.  It is gratuitous and out of context for the purpose.</description>

<p>True, but be honest here:  When someone says Iraq War- no al Qaeda before invasion, no wmd, nothing to do with 9/11, etc., your general run-of-the-mill person thinks of Bush responsibility.  Not about Congress.  For Obama to throw that statement in there was nothing short of partisan gratuity.  A kind of redundancy that&#8217;s been said in previous speeches, and already believed to be true by so many others.  It was unnecessary in 2010, plain and simple.  40 years from now, when being interviewed and he mentions Iraq, is he going to have to knee-jerk piggy-back it with the mantra, &#8220;which had nothing to do with 9/11&#8243;?  Believers will say &#8220;duh&#8221; while the rest of us roll our eyes.</p>
