*When I say "retired", I mean he was forced to retire under the threat of court martial for his mock-execution of an Iraqi detainee.

Yet he'll shove his dishonorable military service in your face ever chance he can possibly get. Methinks he's overcompensating a wee bit.

Just amazement that many give respect and thanks to all that serve. And we are suppose to consider these quacks better and wiser than those that didn't.

They tried this back in 2010 after the midterms, didn't they- trying to convince us that the market was responding "favorably" to the GOP taking back the House????


I know that they like to take credit for good things that they don't earn but pin the blame on everybody else for bad things but this is freakin' ridiculous. For all we know, the markets could be reacting favorably to the (more likely) prospect of President Obama winning a second term, right?
