Obama: Impeachment is not acceptable

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama laid out list of political shortcomings he sees in the Bush administration but said he opposes impeachment for either President George W. Bush or Vice President Dick Cheney.

Obama said he would not back such a move, although he has been distressed by the "loose ethical standards, the secrecy and incompetence" of a "variety of characters" in the administration.

"I think you reserve impeachment for grave, grave breaches, and intentional breaches of the president's authority," he said.

"I believe if we began impeachment proceedings we will be engulfed in more of the politics that has made Washington dysfunction," he added. "We would once again, rather than attending to the people's business, be engaged in a tit-for-tat, back-and-forth, non-stop circus."

Obama, son of a Kenyan father and American mother, spoke at a weekly constituent breakfast he sponsors with Illinois' other senator, Dick Durbin. He was asked about impeachment.

My take on this. Is that Obama knows he can't win wanting or favoring impeachment, so he's not for it. Which means he is politicising it for his goal of winning. Just like his vote to continue funding the war or saying he wouldn't have voted for the IWR. You and I both know he would have either voted for the IWR or been absent on that day.

Why I think Hillary Clinton should step down...

No matter what happens she's a loser. If she wins the nomination she'll be blamed for:

1. Ripping the party apart and she will get the, "I told you so."
2. If she loses the GE she will get the, "I told you so."
3. If she wins and we lose congress she will get the, "I told you so."
4. If she's Obama's VP and Obama loses the GE she will get the, "I told you so."
5. If she doesn't do well she will get the, "I told you so."
6. If she wins the GE and we keep congress and she doesn't win 2 terms she will get the, "I told you so."

She is in a no win situation. I'd just drop out and enjoy my retirement.

I would say HAYLE NO to a Obama/Clinton or Clinton/Obama ticket

Why?

Because the Obama folks will take it to their graves that Hillary ruined it. So I say no to a combined ticket. Hillary will be blamed for the loss.

MARK MY WORDS.

"Euros Accepted" signs pop up in New York City
NEW YORK (Reuters) - In the latest example that the U.S. dollar just ain't what it used to be, some shops in New York City have begun accepting euros and other foreign currency as payment for merchandise.
"We had decided that money is money and we'll take it and just do the exchange whenever we can with our bank," Robert Chu, owner of East Village Wines, told Reuters television.

The increasingly weak U.S. dollar, once considered the king among currencies, has brought waves of European tourists to New York with money to burn and looking to take advantage of hugely favorable exchange rates.---snip

In the last 15 minutes I've started 4 posts @ DU.

I didn't submit any of them. Why? Because right now DU isn't worth my time. I get so angry watching the posts there, all phlegm and no substance.

My observations:

1. Obama supporters can dish it but cant' take it. My solution- TOUGHEN UP PUNKS, the GOP will eat your kidneys for breakfast.
2. Hillary supporters are so down and out they are lashing out. Well grow up people. You knew the MSM and the progressives hated your ass. If you weren't prepared then you're a dumbass.
3. OMG, if I see one more goddamned post with RW talking points in it I'll find the fucking plug to the server and unplug it my goddamned self.
   

I'm so sick of that joint. I'm gonna drink my final margarita in peace and quiet.

WTF is this freakin thing...

Swimmers' Sunscreen Killing Off Coral

January 29, 2008

The sunscreen that you dutifully slather on before a swim on the beach may be protecting your body—but a new study finds that the chemicals are also killing coral reefs worldwide.

Four commonly found sunscreen ingredients can awaken dormant viruses in the symbiotic algae called zooxanthellae that live inside reef-building coral species.

The researchers estimate that 4,000 to 6,000 metric tons of sunscreen wash off swimmers annually in oceans worldwide, and that up to 10 percent of coral reefs are threatened by sunscreen-induced bleaching.

The study appeared online in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives.
