Tom, my thought s are that Boxer prefers "Senator" over "ma'am" because to her, "Senator" sounds more "butch" Big ****ing deal... Now we have a Czar of Green Jobs snerk calling republicans Assholes Hey...asshole...yah...you...the one carrying the birther/deather sign... Hey Harry did you pay your rent on time or are you still picking up aluminum cans on the side of the road. I'll bet you are proud as hell of Obama and his bevy of czars? It is said that you tell quite a bit about who a leader surrounds himself with and Obama has given us surrounded himself with a bunch of whacked out crazies. |

No one working with Obama is as whacked out and dangerous to this country and its future than Dick Cheney, Alberto Gonsalves, and Donald Rumsfeld were during the reign of the dumbest, most incompetent president in U.S. history, George "What me worry" Bush. |
