Anyone want to make a bet on what the next right wing outrage will be?
Speechgate has about run its course.. hmmm, about every week or two, the right works itself up into a lather over some perceived offense by the President.

We have been through so much silliness, I have lost count. Lets see.. fall is here, no particular national holidays for flag craziness.. hmmmm something will have them gnashing their teeth and tearing out their hair over how the socialist communist nazi (take your pick) Democratic President is tearing "their" country apart.

11. That one is already happening...
The Obama White House is behind a cynical, coldly calculated political effort to erase the meaning of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks from the American psyche and convert Sept. 11 into a day of leftist celebration and statist idolatry.

This effort to reshape the American psyche has nothing to do with healing the nation and everything to do with easing the nation along in the ongoing radical transformation of America that President Obama promised during last year's election campaign. The president signed into law a measure in April that designated Sept. 11 as a National Day of Service, but it's not likely many lawmakers thought this meant that day was going to be turned into a celebration of ethanol, carbon emission controls, and radical community organizing.

24. I think you're right.
If he doesn't do anything to commemorate 9/11, they'll say he is trying to make us forget it. If he does say or do something, they'll accuse him of exploiting September 11th for political purposes (only Republicans are allowed to do that).

Your adrenal glands stop working and you can't even get up the energy to run out of a burning building.

A guy can hope, can't he?

13. Or the rest of America will start to ignore them
I'm already shutting down my own concern about the effect of their nonsense. After all, I can't do anything about their choice to work themselves up. So I figure I'm not that unique. If I'm shutting down I hear minds closing off all over the nation. They're a caricature at this point.

10. There's 9/11. They'll surely bring up the be very afraid card
They'll accuse him of wanting another attack (if not actually masterminding one) so he can declare Martial Law, pull the plug on gramma, get his death panels to lock us all up in Gitmo, turn the country into Muslim Fundamentalist Atheist Commie pinko Afro-Leninist Social Welfare State.

Other than that maybe nothing.

16. Well, Captain Connie Rhodes could get arrested by the Army
That would be a huge outrage by the Teabaggers, Birfers, Screamers, Deathers, and Beckerwood Beckerheads.

19. There Is One Truth, But Lies Represent An Infinite Range of Possibility
That is why the right wing has the advantage. When one lie is exposed, the right wing just creates a new lie. Rince and repeat.

20. Obama not visiting NYC on 9/11 anniversary
Visiting just the Pentagon is not going to be good enough for the Beckerheads.

21. The response from the wingnuts will be that all Obama has is a speech and no leadership or support
to back it up with. And they would be right. Rachel Maddow said it the other day: whenever the president is in trouble, we can always count on him giving a speech. She said it sarcastically and was a bitch about it. But she's right. We need more than a speech to get us out of this mess. We need leadership from the president and a Democratic Party in Congress who will say a collective "fuck you" to the Repukes. I hope it happens. This may indeed be the only opportunity to effectively bring about action.

22. Bet they want him to walk on water! For fuck's sake, he inherited a boat load
of shit and you all kept quiet for 8 years and now you all expect him to change the tide. President Obama, just do what your heart tells you, you are on the right track and your speech today was awesome! You people do not have a clue what a wonderful President you have!

27. He had on a blue shirt for the speech today.
Blue is almost Cyan and Cyan is a complimentary color to red, so obviously Obama was complimenting red communists. Duh. Isn't it obvious?
