Rep Power: 97 | | | Karl THE BRAIN Rove assessment of President Obama = QUITE BRILLIANT and accurate! First, you have to just enjoy the read: Karl Rove: The President Is No B+ - WSJ.com
Then you have to admire how THE BRAIN simply NAILS our insufferably arrogant and narcissistic President's own self-assessement so accurately and so deftly!
On the other hand, I suspect that President Obama still hasn't figured out that HE'S not really running anything. Poor deluded little man.
What this Republic needs is another round of ROVE!

Rep Power: 97 | | To the extent that the Brain had any actual hand in that bit of sordid crap, shame on him.
But getting past that, he remains the Brain!

I thought their ads for "Fudgy the Whale" were a bit off-putting, but I always liked their soft-serve chocolate cones and the "UFO's".

Call it a hunch.
I do know lots of liberoidal Democratics offered their objective "grades" on President Bush, however.
Why would Mr. Rove be denied that right, now?

Why would Mr. Rove be denied that right, now? Didn't say he should be denied the right. Simply pointed out that Rove isn't going to be any more objective than the "liberoidal Democratics" were with Bush. Like Cheney, he has a personal legacy to defend which will color his analysis. I like to find as brilliant and accurate non-partisan analysis as possible to base my opinion on, but to each his own I suppose. On man's Rove is another man's Carville. Ying and Yang.

What this Republic needs is another round of ROVE! i think you're mistaking BUSH'S Brain for "THE brain" and confusing obama with bush who DIDN'T run anything.
oh and anyone who thinks they're equipped to run the most powerful nation on earth has to have a pretty healthy ego... but at least he didn't become president to deal with unresolved oedipal issues.
but it's all good.
happy holidays.
