Default Cali and Maake, how big of a shame re: Rahm

if it is revealed that he listened to a deal-offer from Gov. B., but rejected it, and it leads to Rahm's fall as the press and blogosphere demand to know why he kept quiet about it?

Well, I guess the lesson would be that if you are the kingmaker, well, it's impossible to keep every deal, every negotiation a secret.

So sad.

You should look into this more, if you can find time away from your productive investigation into Obama's birth location.

It's so sad that Obama-Jesus promised so much change, and is delivering so little.

Gosh, you mean, <tears welling> he is just like all the other politicians?

Having to change out his Chief of Staff at this juncture would be beyond embarrassment. It would be the bright shining lie.

Honestly, I do hate for the innocent and naive (see Cali) to lose their faith.

Tex defended Bush almost every step of the way, but we known in his heart of hearts, Tex did not really believe in the righteousness and infallability of Bush.

Not so with Cali and Obama. And that is what is going to make this so sad.

You used to be a good troll. You are trying too hard now (your last post in this thread wasn't a great attempt, and it looks like you realized it and tried again with this post- still not a great attempt). More subtlety. That's the key.

The posts were two minutes apart.

Exactly. It didn't take him long to realize his first attempt was a bust. He should have taken additional time to think about effective trolling tactics before busting out his second lame attempt.

For a time, nobody did it better than Waters. He is a sad spectacle of his former self.

Cali, you and I both know that you are wholly incapable of criticizing Obama.

That's what I am pointing out.

As Tex is to Bush, you are to Obama.

Except for the important difference you identified. Tex wanted to believe. Cali knows.

Cali has borne his testimongy of the righteousness and the truthfulness of Obama many times. I'm surprised he failed to close "in the name of Jesus, Amen."
