Mrs. Smith- I guess that’s what Obama means by bi-partisanship: bringing in Republican operatives into the campaign to attack the Democratic frontrunner. That being the case it is not implausible that Rove is also involved. But of course Obama knows nothing about it, and neither does Sergeant Schultz: ” I know nothing!”.

Wow, that’s hardly a confrontation, lol. Obama’s comments are pretty tame.

My two cents:

Obama has hired many, many political strategists from GWB’s inner circle. As recently as last week, Obama hired a well known Bush lobbyist who represented Poppy Bush’s Caryle Group to work for him (no one knows in what capacity). I wouldn’t be surprised if Rove is hiding in the shadows advising Axelrod as well. They want BO bad. Obama is damaged goods. He’s sold his soul to the mob long ago.

I have a list if needed of the inner circle dudes working for BO.

removed the ht to the address..

If he calls that *fighting*…. His advisers must have directed him to DRAW BC into a headline argument with him. Seeing they’re tired of waiting for Hillary to falter. They’re knocking on a window of opportunity!

Beware…

Do we have a link on that newsweek poll on Iowa?

Also, above, “Hillary’s approach” provides proper incentives to address the problem in a bipartisan way,

Admin., Hillary’s answer to Russert on the Social Security question, namely that we must restore fiscal responsiblity before we can decide what the funding options are recommended is the proper answer.

If we fail to address fiscal responsibility up front, and simply throw more money into the pool by raising the cap then we may create a $10 broom to clean up a $1 mess (metaphorically speaking), or raise the eligibility age when we do not have to. Also, we give Congress a greater incentive than ever to continue borrowing from the fund. Finally, this provides the parties with the right set of incentives to address the question in a sensible bi-partisan way.

I am no expert in this area, but the logic seems fairly straightforward. Collins implies that the response is evasive, i.e. weasel words. When I look at the overall thrust of her editiorial I am reminded of something the head Teamsters in Alaska told me during the days of the pipeline: “what good is power if you do not abuse it?” in this case through a very one sided editorial.
