I mean, he looked tortured. Kind of like someone who is being forced to do something against his conscience. Someone who is being blackmailed. In my opinion, he seemed to realize how bad that it made him look to most Americans and that it would put the icing on the cake for his legacy, but could find no way out.
I could see Cheney telling him, "Look, he knows too much. If he goes to jail, he'll start talking. Probably be given immunity in exchange for his testimony againt us. Commute his jail time and hold the prospect of a complete pardon over his head until we are out of here."
To me it's obvious a deal was made during the trial for Libby to take the fall, with the understanding that he never sees a day of jail time. At one point, Libby's attorneys were all "gung ho" to force Cheney to testify, then suddenly they had a change of heart and allowed their client to be convicted without Cheney taking the stand.
My friends, the fix was in.

If you remember before Jr. Bush ran for president the only thing he ran successfully was his collage fraternity. He personality ran 2 separate oil companies and the Texas Rangers (baseball Team for those who don't know) into the ground. When he won the presidency it was a sham. He never got the popular vote and decider state "Florida" was proven to never be successfully counted. Just happened to be the same state his dumb monkey brother was Governor of. The only reason he won a second term was because Democrats are so freaking unorganized and weak the best candidate they could come up with was wish wash Kerry. By the end "he" didn't even know what he stood for, never mind the American people. At this point Bush just seems to be a Corporate stooge. Put into place by a lot of money to make even more money. The only person who seems to be making any calls is Cheney, and at this point I am sure he is the Anti-Christ. Be interesting to read the Neo-Conservative rhetoric to this..

People from both parties (but mainly Republicans) criticized the immigration bill, calling it an "amnesty" bill and lobbying Congress to reject it. Here's my question: Do you have an immgration proposal that could:

1. Address both border security and what to do with illegals currently in the country
2. Satisfy 60 Senators, a majority of the House, and the President

And if not, why is doing nothing (by defeating the immigration bill) preferable?

The answer is "Bill Clinton did worse".

Can we ever have a discussion about the current political situation without this constant comparison? I agree, Bill Clinton was a crook in many ways and deserved to be punished worse than he was. But what does that have to do with George Bush and what he is doing to this country?

Whatever arguments you can come up with (i.e. dishonest, bad science, bad for America, bad for the world, etc.). Best argument for which film is worse gets 10 points.

The new law

The document emphasizes the need to ensure “the continued function of our form of government under the Constitution, including the functioning of the three separate branches of government,” it states.

But it says flat out: “The President shall lead the activities of the Federal Government for ensuring constitutional government.”

The document waves at the need to work closely with the other two branches, saying there will be “a cooperative effort among the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the Federal Government.” But this effort will be “coordinated by the President, as a matter of comity with respect to the legislative and judicial branches and with proper respect for the constitutional separation of powers.”

Among the efforts coordinated by the President would be ensuring the capability of the three branches of government to “provide for orderly succession” and “appropriate transition of leadership.”

Carter gets blamed for a lot, but the economic problems predated Carter. The oil shocks began in 1973 when OPEC decided to stop sending oil to the US because it supported Israel. Then OPEC jacked up oil prices by 400%. This led to rationing and lines, which ended by 1976.

Nixon also screwed up because he contracted the money supply by having the Federal Reserve raise interest rates, enacted price and wage controls and a short time later reversed himself and goes to an expansionary monetary policy, which jacked up prices across the board. Nixon ended the dollar conversion to gold which lowered the value of the dollar.

Carter inherited an economy where inflation had been rising since 1965. He appointed Paul Volcker as chair of the Fed, who is actually responsible for bringing inflation down. It just took him until 1982 to get it done. Reagan was just going along for the ride.

After Iraq wouldn't the next logical step be "Operation:Tibetan freedom" AKA WWIII?

I mean you can not just pick to liberate one country and leave all the rest out, the Tibetan people have been waiting for almost 50 years (in 2009). Then after that there are probably some more countries that need liberating, some African countries with corupt goverments and genocide, I belive Ghana still has slavery, and there are even more places....

So where are we going next?

I heard that due to the radio programs, America listened, and
rose up in protest to Bush and the senators. Now the Dem.
Senators have told Bush, they will not support him in any endeavor, and especially the war in Iraq, and the Immigration
policy he's tried to shove down everyones' t hroats. They are
desperate to keep their jobs, that have been threatened. But
we still know they are prone to fishtailing. Do we want to see
that again? I feel as a former member of the Silent Majority, I
don't and never will be silent again.

What is it with people in yahoo Q and A? Can't you people answer a simple question without changing the subject to George W Bush? It doesn't matter what it is or what the question is about, you people ALWAYS end up complaining or bringing up George Bush! Whether it's the meaning of the 4th of July, how our government works, our nations history, past presidents, global warming, war in Iraq, terrorist attacks in Britain, tsunamis in Southeast Asia, or whatever.........it ALWAYS ends up being a complaint about George Bush! Aren't you people getting sick of it? Can't you answer a question without bashing our president?
