Hillary struck a deal to quit Thursday, so the Earth has started to heal, the oceans stopped rising, (easier to walk on water if it's not rising)sick people were made well, Lazarus arose, lepers shed their spots,(haha) swine ran over a cliff, etc. Although, as of late Friday night, these things hadn't started yet, but maybe once the weekend is over.........

What did happen,though, was when Hillary made a deal to unblock him, and it became clear he was surely the nominee, the stock market dropped 400 points, and it was predicted oil would go to $150a barrel.

Coincidence?

O' yea of little faith!

Barack the vote!

Change, she is a coming, oh yes she is......

would be maybe bad to worse.

Hilary is not really conceding (however she is exceedingly CONCEITED), she is just suspending her campaign.
Very sneaky, so as if more stuff about Obama comes to light she can still jump in. Not a prediction, but My opinion is she
May still try to get the nomination at the convention.
I’m not sure who is the bigger liar and most dishonest  Hilary, Bill, or Obama, true Hil&Bill do have more experience …………………

IMO Obama is ALMOST surely the nominee...I just cannot believe that Hil&Bill are not going to continue their underhanded and sneaky ways of trying to get the nomination.

As for the market there were a lot of other things going on to cause it to take a 400 point dump.

No doubt the worst President we have ever had, and Obama just may push Carter to 2nd place.

because he certainly has the means to be the worst POTUS ever, as you said even worse than Carter. Isn't THAT a scary thought?

to see that he loses. Even if it appears outwardly that they support him, they of course want him to lose. Now their dirty tricks can be blamed on Republicans so it will be easier to throw harpoons (secretly).

They are now looking forward to a great big I told you so moment in 2012.

OK...I know this belongs on the humor board, but...

Saint Peter is standing at the pearly gates. He says, "who are you and what did you do on Earth?" I am Barack Obama and I am the President of the U.S." "When did this happen, asked St. Peter?" "Oh about 20 minutes ago said Barack?"

McCain appears to be a one-term type of candidate to me. Hillary can wait until 2012.

I agree 100%


Thank You

Worse than even President Carter.

Carter was by far the worst POTUS of the 20th century. If BHO is elected he will set a pretty low mark for worst of the 21st century.

trying to rate presidents before they're sworn in?

Your last choice GW Bush has a lot of votes for all time worst, so that doesn't give us a lot of confidence in your guessing.

Carter has a LOT of competition for worst of the last century, including Nixon, Harding, Hoover & Coolidge, depending on your criteria.

But you're not a partisan.   Hell no.

The poll you referenced was taken in 1982, only two years after Carter was mercifully dumped from office. Over time, its become much more clear just how much damage he did to the nation in only a scant four years.

The most recent poll (2005) in that same Wiki article shows Carter as 34th overall, second worst of all 20th C presidents. That's probably about right: only Harding would I surmise was worse (matching the poll), but for very different reasons than Carter. Your list of others in your other post for Coolidge, Nixon, Hoover etc, shows exactly where YOU stand.

Coolidge was in a very difficult position but did a good job restoring faith in the presidency after Harding's corruption, and Hoover cannot be blamed for the Depression - initially reports suggested it was just another mild recession (only a small percentage of Americans were directly involved in the stock market at the time) and the depths of the Depression were not felt until 1932. Unemployment actually rose further while FDR was in office, before it finally began to drift down, but did not return to "normal" until US mobilization into WWII.

and I am actually rather good at it if you must know. Good enough to make a very good living at it for several years.  Good enough that my taxes probably exceed your income.

Just because your life sucks, don't take it out on those of us who have actually made a success out of ourselves. and no I am not a partisan, I don't like either party, and I am not stupid enough to support the likes of Obama BECAUSE of his ignorance, not despite of it.

No wonder you're still a loser in spite of a law degree, just like Michelle Obama who hates this country despite the fact that she was priveleged enough to go to both Princeton and Harvard.

No JackO you're not a partisan, you're just another lefty loser who blames everyone else for his own shortcomings.

It's good to see someone actually knows history

and I guarantee you'll be back here tomorrow accusing others of exactly the sort of shit you've been pulling.

Hey, if you weren't a hypocrite, they wouldn't let you be a Republiscum.

or maybe even literate.

I didn't reference or comment on any poll.  I referenced an entire wikipedia article including SEVERAL polls, and many varying sources.  Newspaper polls of random citizens are probably the least-informed - unless of course you're a Republiscum who pulls his information right out of his ass.

Historians are remarkably consistent over time and viewpoint (unless of course you realize that anybody who actually knows anything, or thinks without use of his ass is by definition a socialist) and generally regard Harding as pretty damn bad.   My mention of particular ones was not to describe MY POV, but rather to point out that calling Carter the worst of the 20th century ignores so many others as to be incredible.

What we're talking about here is not your or my POV, but the usual consensus, and that excludes polls by USA Today, People Magazine, Oprah, and TER.

But your excuses are welcome.  BTW, we have a special on English comprehension classes.  

Next!

write a coherent paragraph.   You couldn't possibly need or want to know more about the presidencies between Wilson and Roosevelt.

"I didn't reference or comment on any poll. I referenced an entire wikipedia article"

Wrong on both counts numbskull.  Your link was direct to the single poll at the bottom of the Wiki article. That is what you referenced.

I would advise you to sign up for those English classes, but if you are the instructor as well, you're liable to come out even more illiterate than you already are.

I would offer to the court, there is no evidence that the witness is in fact "not a total idiot" ROFL
