Bush Derangement Syndrome is nostalgia, whereas Obama Derangement Syndrome is a current event; and the surprisingly sentimental and rested Karen Hughes accepts the ungracious quips of an unseen Texas Tribune editor with measured manners. Is ODS the same as BDS? Sure; and this means what? Team Obama is especially offended by the eccentricities of the opposition. POTUS is said to be prickly. POTUS does enjoy trash-talking the oppo. The Obama Did It crowd is not articulate; just as the Bush Did It crowd was not the best of dinner guests. More interesting to me is how the ODS translates into the midterm turnout. Evidence now is that the DCC is abandoning hope of adult, married, suburban, taxpayer voters and concentrating on the youth vote for turn-out. Why this despair and long-shot dreaminess with a majority in both Houses and the popular (mostly) president? Because both the Cook Report and Rothenburg Report point to a wave that begins at 30 seats going GOP and builds to much, much more, perhaps as high as 50, and I have heard the number 100 just to make you smirk. The GOP does not deserve its prospects; it is the default Other in the duopoly. Last eve, Minority Whip Eric Cantor twice mentioned how he is working closely with Majority Leader Steny Hoyer. Getting ready to trade places???
If anyone still thinks that BDS and ODS are the same, you are out of your mind. Be that as it may, the time has come for us to step back, lie low and avoid the trap that is being set for us. Bill Clinton let the cat out of the bag today by exposing the Democrat strategy of provoking the opposition (us) into doing something stupid. Clearly, none of the Tea Party events so far have been violent. What violence there might have been was manufactured out of whole cloth or perpetrated by the Left.
The media is waiting breathlessly for something to happen and run with it. In addition, they, along with the Obama administration, are fanning the flames. It’s a far cry from Bush telling everybody to stay calm after 9/11. Bush worked tirelessly to avoid conflict within our increasingly polarized nation – even at his own expense. Obama is doing just the opposite. Why?
He is looking for any excuse to declare a national emergency and postpone November elections. Do not doubt me. He is not above orchestrating an ugly event. I suggest you attend no more rallies. Talk show hosts: get off of your soap boxes and play soothing music for the duration. Bloggers, take a breath. Be secure in the knowledge that the American people are up to speed. There’s nothing constructive anyone can do now to turn this thing around.
Come November, we will start with Congress. If we can win majorities, we can move to impeach this dangerous president. Don’t blow it. Don’t give him an excuse to rob us of the one chance we have to put him back among the loyal opposition. November may well be the last chance we’ll ever have of taking our country back.

In an article in the New York Times from yesterday, Bill Clinton likens the Tea Party movement to Timothy McVey and the Oklahoma City Bombing. An except from the speech:
“There can be real consequences when what you say animates people who do things you would never do,” Mr. Clinton said in an interview, saying that Timothy McVeigh, who carried out the Oklahoma City bombing, and those who assisted him, “were profoundly alienated, disconnected people who bought into this militant antigovernment line.”
Really Bill? I bet you didn't feel that way about The Weather Underground, SDS, SNCC, The Black Panthers, etc. In fact, you were probably with your fellow proletariat in those movements. What hypocrisy.
I condemn what Timothy McVey did, but truth be told, we still don't know the whole story behind that as Nichols isn't talking and neither is our government. Tying what McVey did to the Tea Party is not a proven arguent. In fact, I would say it is an a priori argument that is political in nature to support the increasingly fabian nature of Obama's agenda. They know that they cannot roll over us with force like their compatriots Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro, so they figure they better try guilt and shame first. Sorry Bill, we aren't buying it.
And while I am at it, Shame on Bill and the New York Times for printing such propaganda (said in the vernacular of Frank from Queens). At this point, it's obvious beyond a shadow of a doubt who and what the fourth branch of government is: The Main Stream Media. Josef Goebbels would be proud of how Obama has co-opted the press in the country, and he has done so without any threat to them at all. In fact, for the most part, the MSM is in total agreement. That makes everything so much easier.
Michelle Bachmann, the other beauty from the north, rebuts Mr. Clinton:
In her remarks Thursday, Ms. Bachmann made light of the suggestion that antigovernment activists were angry.
“You look happy to me, you don’t look angry,” she told the crowd. “That’s because you get it. You are smart enough to get off your couch and do something.”
The Article Continues:
Mr. Clinton said his intent was not to stifle debate or muzzle critics of the government but to encourage them to consider what repercussions could follow. He acknowledged that drawing the line between acceptable discourse and that which goes too far is difficult but that lawmakers and other officials should try.
“Have at it,” he said. “You can attack the politics. Criticize their policies. Don’t demonize them, and don’t say things that will encourage violent opposition.”
Mr. Clinton, who is carrying the gun here? Is it the Tea Party, or the government? So what measures should lawmakers try? Hate speech laws like Canada and Germany? Just try it.
Right now, the dems have driven themselves over the cliff and they are looking for someone to blame other than themselves. Note to Bill, The New York Times and the rest of the MSM:
Look in the mirror. Your ideas, agenda and propaganda are so out of touch with what the american people believe and it is that which put you where you are, going over a cliff. Take responsibility for your own bad ideas and bad actions. The Tea Party had nothing to do with your choices in life, but only illustrate how out of touch and utterly ridiculous you are.
November is coming and pay back is a bitch.
