At least we have a President on the White House that has the respect of the international community again and he knows how to pronoune nuclear.
Have you been reading the UK press lately? They are stomping Obama. I'm not sure the emotion of the international community is "respect."

Nobel Peace Prizes: Obama 1, George Bush 0!

Which is nothing compared to the public protest against George Bush Jr. during is term as President in major European cities, including burning him in effigy.

OK, I admit it. George was not loved in major European cities. I didn't like him, either. But I'm not sure why we should put a lot of credit in what Europeans think. European living standards are 30% lower than ours, unemployment is chronically high, and economic stagnation over the past 20 years has led to desperate problems. Did you know that French unemployment never got as low as 9% from 2000 to 2008, while America's never got that high?

By the way, have you ever seen the list of all Nobel Peace Prize winners over the last 30 years? There is some seriously misguided thinking there. Paul Krugman won the Nobel for economics, for gosh sakes, and he is a petty partisan hack.

Quayle's bump on road to Congress - Kasie Hunt and Scott Wong - POLITICO.com

Typical hypocritical wingnut. Less qualified for congress than his father was for the vice presidency.
They had Quayle on CNN today and he was just horrible with regard to his lying about that website. They asked him point blank about his involvement with that website and he lied again and contradicted what he said just a few days ago. I was utterly shocked. John King asked him about his involvement with that website and he said he had no involvement with that site and lied and tried to insinuate that his involvement was with a completely different website. FYI....Dirty Scottsdale became the Dirty. It's the same site but now it includes other cities besides Scottsdale.

I don't like Obama but there is a way to express your opinions more intelligently. It would be one thing to state that Obama has done a poor job thus far but how does a 33 yr old with no record of public service claim that a person who has only been in office for 2 years is the worst President of all time.

Anyway, Ben Quayle is a huge joke in Arizona. He only moved here 2 years ago to run for office. He has no ties to the state and has never served in public office. His daddy is trying to buy him his first congressional seat.

And before someone says "Hillary did the same thing" Okay well maybe she did but it doesn't take anything away from Ben Quayle's situation.

It's quite frankly a joke this kid is even running and then he makes it harder on himself by lying about his involvement with a website and then he makes a painfully embarrassing commercial in which he can't complete a sentence without pausing and giving a dumb stare. That commercial was so awkward that I was uncomfortable watching it.

News update,

Like father, like son? Quayle stumbles in Arizona

PHOENIX – Seems like old times — Jay Leno cracking Quayle jokes on late night. But now the rising target of comics is Ben Quayle, son of the gaffe-prone former vice president, who is committing doozies of his own in his campaign for Congress.

FOFL - the first couple of times I saw that ad, it was during a comedy I was watching. I thought it was a spoof. It looks like it's right out of Saturday Night Live or MAD Magazine. I like the "dip"... what's that about? He looks stoned out of his mind. Who cares what he says in the ad? He moved to Arizona to run here. He hasn't lived in AZ that long. Oh, it's good to have some comic relief during the elections. He's very taken with his looks, and he talks slowly like he's being sexy or something.
Here it is:

I have some really bad news for you.
Bush isnt President anymore.
Bush cannot run for President anymore.

Time for you cool-aid drinkers to move on and accept the fact, your Idiot in chief is responsible now for EVERYTHING he's destroying.

btw, roll over and ask your "Lover in chief" when he's gonna close Gitmo

To think Quayle's contribution to modern politics was not being able to spell and having discussions about

wait to see what his son has to offer
