Isn't that what you would do?
You just said you wouldn't travel to any state with the virus. Whom do you think are on planes?
Make up your mind whether you are goign to be alarmist about the flu or not.
I'll take Joe saying ridiculous things over a guy that's directly responsible for the death of many American soldiers any day of the week.
I think it's the President and Vice President who need to make up their minds...which, incidentally, was the point of this post. Obama and Napolitano spend yesterday trying to reassure the public there is nothing to be alarmed about and Slow Joe hits morning television with this bit of news that he's advised his family to stay off planes and subways and away from closed rooms such as schools and such...pretty much screwing three or four major industries.Quote:

Personally, I'm with the Vice President on this one, I think we need to close the border with Mexico and discourage travel between states until we have an idea of how widespread this virus is going to be. I'm just not sure the Vice President is with the Vice President on this one...
This is shaping up to be the most amateurish administration since...well, since forever.
There wasn't an al Qaedan on the ticket so, you didn't even have that choice.Quote:

When they invade a country and overthrow a government with no plan what to do next, we can talk about amateurism.Quote:

I don't. "Our" as in the town in which I reside's local radio station.Quote:

Obama claims he's created or saved 150,000 jobs. Where?
3.4 Trillion dollar budget...
12 Trillion dollars in deficits if he gets everything he wants...
What happened to all the "shovel-ready" projects he was going to ramp up?
This guy's more full of lies than Bill Clinton.

Nah. They ran out of patience with the Republicans. They fucked up so badly, Obama will probably sail through both terms easily.Quote:

Well, how do you get to the point where the President of the United States can take over a car company, fire the executive, give 40 percent of the common stock to a union that owned only 10% and 10% to common stockolders that previously owned 55% and keep the rest for yourself?Quote:

Hey, a 3.4 Trillion budget is a 3.4 Trillion budget. You expect the number to change?Quote:

Kind of indicative of Obama's approach to fiscal responsibility...
And this was produced before we learned of the $330,000 terrorism scare the White House sanctioned for New York City.
Government spending is what to do now -- so I'm not that bugged about it.Quote:

What Biden said was COMMON SENSE. There is a flu going around that is being hyped in panic. Any father with common sense would tell his kids and family not to put themselves in positions where they are trapped in small spaces with lots of people.
It was irresponsible.Quote:

I’m wondering if you wanted to clarify or correct or apologize for the remarks that he made.
PRESS SECRETARY GIBBS: Well, I think the — what the vice president meant to say was the same thing that, begun, many members have said in the last few days. And that is if you feel sick, if you are exhibiting symptoms — flu-like symptoms, coughing sneezing, runny nose, that you should take precautions, that you should limit your travel, and I think he just — what he said and what he meant to say.
TAPPER: With all due respect, I sympathize with you trying to explain the vice president’s comments, but that’s not even remotely close to what he said. He was asked about if a members of his family…
GIBBS: Look, I understand what he said, and I’m telling you what he meant to say, which was that… (LAUGHTER BY REPORTERS) …if somebody is experiencing symptoms — you heard the president say this last night — If somebody is feeling sick, if somebody is exhibiting symptoms of being sick, then they should take all necessary precautions. Obviously, if anybody was unduly alarmed for whatever reason, we — we would apologize for that. And I hope that my remarks and remarks of people at CDC and Secretary Napolitano have appropriately cleared up what he meant to say.
You may as well give up Yoni. Nothing we say or post is going to get through to the kool-aid drinkers. Obama is destroying this country and he's made so many gaffes it's hard to keep up - but he still has abnormally high approval ratings because the people are so enamored of him that they're blinded to what is really happening.
I just wonder what it's going to take to open people's eyes.
The Video:
You really have to sympathize with Gibbs here.
Just having fun.Quote:

I didn't say that, and your point is taken. But I don't see any threads going to 8 pages about a completely ridiculous non-issue, either. Hello, iPod? Bowing? It's not a coincidence that Obama got into office and this section of Spurstalk went to shit. There used to be a ton of people from the site that posted here. Now it's basically chump and yoni calling each other names, Galileo's conspiracy theories, and a few other people chipping in.Quote:

It's getting so old watching Yoni and his ilk squirm and squirm with bitterness over an election their candidate had no chance in hell at.
Okay, don't re-elect Obama in 2012 and turn out everyone in Congress -- both sides of the aisle -- in 2010. It's obvious none of them know what they're doing.Quote:
