10. I wish Harold had pointed out that Obama's budget includes the cost of the wars
* left him with. He isn't hiding their cost as * did. That might be one reason why Obama's budget appears so large.

15. Yup - but Harold did great as it was, and he just couldn't think of everything.
You know how hard it is to hold the floor without being interrupted and yelled down and talked over by the ones with no ideas and no solutions and no regrets.

19. I agree, and I am not a big Harold Ford fan. His "100 year flood" comment
was exactly the correct analogy and his pointing out the G.I. Bill and Eisenhower building the highway system are excellent examples of huge expenditures that have been immeasurably beneficial to America.

12. I've heard it several times this morning, and I think it's true.
What's driving ALL of this is hatred of Obama. Pure and simple.

There could be the provebial car in every garage and a chicken in every pot by now, and the right wing would still be howling.

It's ironic that people who expect miracles in 90 days have such selective memories about the past eight years (and longer).

16. He's been busy...

http://thinkprogress.org/2009/04/14/lobbying-clients-teaparties/
– Armey’s FreedomWorks is actively organizing against health care reform. Indeed, Armey’s lobbying firm represents pharmaceutical companies, such as Bristol-Myers Squibb, that oppose comparative effectiveness research in the health reform plan because such a program may cut into revenue for branded drugs.

– Armey’s lobbying firm represents the trade group for the life insurance industry. Indeed, FreedomWorks mobilizes its members for deregulated life insurance reform.

– Currently, FreedomWorks is focusing their energy activism on supporting the status quo reliance on fossil fuels. In addition to working for various domestic oil companies with a vested interest in opposing change, Armey’s lobbying firm represents Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Prime Minister of the UAE, on energy related issues such as maintaining the U.S.-UAE relationship where “U.S companies have played major roles in the development of UAE energy resources, which represent about 10 percent of global oil reserves.”

– In 2006, Armey’s lobbying firm represented the Senado de Republica (Mexican Senate) on “enhancing U.S.-Mexico relations,” and specifically on immigration policy. Curiously, during the same period, Armey’s Freedom Works stood out as one of the few right wing organizations to boldly support comprehensive immigration reform.

Last year, the Wall Street Journal exposed FreedomWorks for building “amateur-looking” websites to promote the lobbying interests of Armey

21. no, he's a calculated lobbyist
In 1995 Armey referred to openly homosexual Congressman Barney Frank, as 'Barney Fag'. He claimed it was a slip of the tongue

23. Yea I knew that, neither of those facts prove intelligence
IMO he's dumber than a post.

I can't figure out why he and Newt are trying to make a comeback. It makes no sense.

26. Where has he been?
Edited on Sun Apr-19-09 12:20 PM by SoCalDem
He's been spending some of the loot he collected, and "working" for some right wing "stink-tanks"...patiently waiting for his chance to burrow up to the surface again, like an evil cicada..eager to add his voice to the cacaphonous drivel of his cronies....and our lovely "media" welcomed him back with wet kisses & open arms:(
