Has anyone challenged the fact that Obama has voted with his party 95% of the time, or just more ad hom? Real bi-partisan.
Given that Obama has only been a U.S. Senator since the beginning of 2005, that means that he's voted 95% of the time AGAINST the Bush League and their rubber stamping, drunken sailor Republican Congress.

And given that Bush has been the worst President in U.S. history, and whose regime has done massive harm to this country, am I supposed to be concerned that Obama wasn't more cooperative with Bush and his Congress?

I think not.

What are your thoughts on that? Or is Gingrich a Dark Lord of the Sith, too?
Newt's a bright guy. He was right behind Al Gore in seeing the potential of the Internet, except he didn't do sh!t about it, while Gore did. He's also right behind Gore in seeing global warming as the greatest long term threat to our world, as he's spelled out in his book, A Contract with the Earth.

Alas, as a Congressman and House Speaker, Newt was far more interested in the bomb throwing politics of personal destruction, in the grand tradition of Lee Atwater and his apostle, Karl Rove.

So that would probably make Newt a Sith Lord retired, reinventing himself as a respected elder statesman, working with Hillary Clinton on healthcare, etc. etc. Still, the smartest thing of all that he's done is decide NOT to run for President.

"shockah — Democrats! 17 out of the 25 top recipients were Democrats."
Now that Democrats control both houses. Yeah, I'm shocked... shocked. Got any numbers on which committee chairs were receiving donations 2 years ago???

Is this you holding up legal donations from Fannie and Freddie as some sort of diversion from everything else 8 years of Republican incompetence has wrought? Cuz at this point in history, your cries of outrage ring rather hollow.

Based on the detour into Red Herringland, I'm guessing the discussion of 'The Admitted Inadequacy of Obama' has run it's course.
