Biden booed in St. Patricks parade, indicates deep trouble for Obama - VIDEO
By: Ed Farnan | Published Tuesday, March 27, 2012, 7:30 PM | Updated Tuesday, March 27, 2012, 7:30 PM
Joe Biden and his crew running at the Pittsburgh St. Patrick's Day parade
Team Obama had designed to piggy back on the popularity of the huge St. Patrick's Day parade in Pittsburgh and turn it into a campaign photo op for their political purposes. Obama supporters had even spread through the thousands of onlookers along the parade route handing out "I heart O'Bama" signs, so they would be displayed prominently on national news. They dusted off and quaffed Vice President Joe Biden, to headline the parade. Biden, in the eyes of Obama campaign strategists, was the perfect choice to represent the Obama administration in this all important state. Joe is a native Pennsylvanian and has always represented himself as a regular working class guy.
But something went horribly wrong for Biden as he wended his way through the streets of Pittsburgh. The generally jubilant, cheering crowd celebrating the St. Patrick's Day parade, suddenly turned to boos, when the Vice President turned down Stanwix Street. Cheers faded into jeers as the crowd laid eyes on the 6 term Senator turned Vice President.
It seemed there was a pent up demand from the crowd to be able to show in person to the Obama administration, just how displeased they were with the Obama policies.
Any positive political cache Obama strategists thought they were going to get from this parade,evaporated as Biden passed by the hostile crowd. But being the trained political veteran that he was, Biden continued to smile as he passed between the gauntlet of unhappy constituents. ------------------- Read more:
There were some positive photo ops of Biden passing through supporters that day, with the "I heart O'Bama" signs in the background, but what is making national news and filling the airwaves are the sensationalized videos and photos depicting the unhappy crowd.
Perhaps the Obama campaign strategists, should have taken into consideration the large segment of Irish Catholic citizens who feel offended and betrayed by the Obama administrations decision to force Catholic institutions to pay for abortion procedures and contraceptives.
On the other hand, the crowd might still be smarting by some of Joe Bidens famous "gaffes" directed at them. Like when he called certain American citizens "terrorists" for not supporting Obamas economy breaking budget requests. Or when he promised America the almost 1 trillion Obama stimulus was going to create 500K new jobs per month, or telling American citizen rapes and murders would increase if Republicans didn't pass Obamas "jobs" bill....Are citizens starting to catch on?
American citizens don't feel the "love" from this administration when they go to the service station and fill their cars up with fuel that has doubled in price since Obama/Biden took office. Contrary to the Administrations claim that unemployment has dropped to almost 8.3%, this doesn't account for the millions of Americans who were dropped off the unemployment rolls as their benefits ended.
Recent pols show 67% of Americans are not in favor of the administrations health care bill that was pushed through in a non partisan manner and they want it repealed, if the Supreme Court doesn't do it first.
With these raw feelings of anger and disappointment gnawing at them, many Americans feel they rarely get a chance to be heard by this administration, so when the opportunity arises.....they don't hesitate to use it.

Obammy's puppet getting the love he deserves. Nice to see a non slavering pro Obammy piece from my Irish American brothers.

There is a part of Me that always wonders
if Joe is just being taken advantage of Himself by Obama's machine , He seem's to act like a unbriefed employee popular but inept at His simple job that is dumb'ed down in scope or kept on a short leash..for good reason, lol..
100thApefrom58 | Apr 02, 2012, 11:55 PM EDT
Bison & posse jogging behind subserviently look like a fire drill from a upper end used car lot with the flagship "doo" and senior salesman out front.
Actually the analogy is rather apropos,accurate. {The Chevy Volt Obama-mobile} run's on imported oil (only) in mechanical reality (AS designed),but tells you in the owners manual and show room floor brochure that it's a electric, green machine, could even use a DNC blessed company "Solyndra"to make little needed changes later ? Just look under the hood of this baby!"Joe" exclaim's throws it open...to reveal George Sorros? Lois Farakan? But Joe is a veteran and just smiles and slams the hood , reels around and go's for the trunk, whip's it open and the smell of dead bodies burning oil and feces permeated the local area...The intrepid Bison slogged on undaunted against the crowd of BOOOO'S such a trooper!
BrianO | Mar 27, 2012, 03:55 PM EDT
Funny meanolg is an obama activist, just means he'll have to catch up on the obama playbook-lets see learn how to fix elections ,getout the illegal alien vote, is it one pack or two per vote per homeless person. thank goodness the war on poverty succeeded only in spreading poverty and widening the pool to be exploited. you'll do well, hope all you profits are donated we all know capital is evil.

I can think of many words to describe Joe Biden: Plagiarist, dissembler, prevaricator, spin doctor, serial liar, character assassin, among many others.....But "sincere" is not a word I would use in the same sentence with Joe Biden in it.

The real truth will come out about who the real Obama is, after the November elections...win, lose, or draw
PhlutiePhan | Mar 26, 2012, 03:16 PM EDT
I happen to like Joe Biden as a sincere and upright individual. However, he is being used by the Obamaleft wing machine to trick the working man and woman into voting for a sham. The Obama election strategy folks have stated that they can "write off" the working class. They don't need them anymore with their coalition of "women, anti-whites, and anti-heterosexuals". Jodi Kantor has stated well the attitude of Mrs. Obama toward Irish Catholic politicians. African-Americans are 12.6% and not 50% of the U.S. population. The Irish come in at 12.2%. This is a united effort for ethnic groups which has turned into a reverse plantation mentality. Obama is a radical socialist who wants to reform the traditional family. He surrounds himself with radical feminists and is unable toidentify with strong white male role models. This comes directly from his mother who resented white males and who was married twice to African members of Islam. This is why the Muslim world identifies Obama as a member of Islam and he has never set the record straight, as if anything about his administration can be labelled as "straight".
Monsoonman | Mar 24, 2012, 02:36 PM EDT
Checked the lic. plates/registration on all of those bussed in Biden grass roots "supporters" at the parade? Most were afl-cio/afscme-seiu in origin. All handed we heart obama signs, along with their lunches as they disgorged from their busses.
seagreen | Mar 23, 2012, 10:39 AM EDT
I happy to hear that all of the busses that transported the members of University "Republican Student Chapters" Students from Liberty and Bob Jones University had a safe trip. Booing Joe Biden in the Pittsburgh parade was definitely worth the road trip for all concerned I am sure...
Meanolgrouch | Mar 22, 2012, 07:55 PM EDT
Eiriamach, my friend, it's been a pleasure knowing you and the other good liberals on this website. Ok, ok... so I could count them on the fingers of my hand. But I'll have to leave the devolved troll babies in your tender loving care. Since I just accepted chairmanship of a volunteer Obama booster group, what little free time I had has totally vanished. Please pass the word to the other adults that I'll miss you and them, and I'll be back at least by November to crow. Until then, tell all my new true friends to keep their powder dry.
eiriamach | Mar 22, 2012, 07:23 PM EDT
Meanolgrouch, Monsoonman has a mind like "sunlight streaming through concrete," to borrow one of his own hopelessly mixed metaphors. You can try throwing some facts in his direction, but then he just squeals like a "swamp pig" (another of his strange "metaphors") when the alligator's rising and he's stuck in the mud.
Monsoonman | Mar 22, 2012, 06:03 PM EDT
You are not a stupid person. Somewhere deep down you know what you stand for is economically/morally bankrupt, so you name call and avoid the brilliant truth staring you in the face. A shame, but sadly typical.
Meanolgrouch | Mar 22, 2012, 05:51 PM EDT
You wouldn't know logic and truth if it bit you on your sitter-downer. Doesn't keep you off your soapbox though, does it? I leave it to impartial readers to decide who's playing the bully here. And no, "impartial readers" does not include teabaggers or crown-crawling toadies.
Monsoonman | Mar 22, 2012, 05:03 PM EDT
Logic dictates-Or is that something foreign to my liberal brethren? "U large scale massively produce technology when it has been proved/market tested and commercially viable....Not before." Ust because you make massive quantities of something with govt $ (mine) doesn't mean it works and is good...Think Oh and stop drinking Obama Kool Aid, USA is the King of cheap energy, we have enuf to last for 200years Natural gas-coal-oil in abundance. Think of a different argument...Man caused global warming perhaps? Bwahahahaha!
Monsoonman | Mar 22, 2012, 04:48 PM EDT
Funny when you listen to the liberal justification of spending other peoples money being "compassionate" and "forward thinking"...The king of spending other peoples money is Joe Biden, then take a look at Joes personal charitable giving over the years...Just about zilch....BTW: Logic dictates U large scale massively produce technology when it has been proved/market tested and commercially viable....Not before.
Meanolgrouch | Mar 22, 2012, 04:44 PM EDT
Monsooney, dear, left to you we'd go back to model T's. Surely you realize that fossil fuels are a finite resource? China itself is barreling forward with solar energy r&d. Would you like us to fall even farther behind in the race to the future for a limitless power supply? No, I'd rather let THEM eat OUR dust. Ha! and the teabaggers call ME retro!
Monsoonman | Mar 22, 2012, 03:58 PM EDT
Yes the matter of honor of those actually buying these govt subsidized cars, are those whose medium income is 187K per year. Hardly the common American citizen. "Aversion to change"? Really? Are you one of those paying for the change? 100 billion taxpayers $ spent on worthless green energy companies in US in last 3 years..What do we have to show for it? 100 billion in more debt to China.
Meanolgrouch | Mar 22, 2012, 02:03 PM EDT
Who bought them? It's a matter of honor in some sets. Reminds me of what FDR said about aversion to change: "A Conservative Is A Man With Two Perfectly Good Legs Who's Never Learned To Step Forward." Left up to some people, the world would be watching telly by candlelight.
Monsoonman | Mar 22, 2012, 12:05 PM EDT
I think the booing from the crowd is a reaction in general from most thinking americans, We're tired of getting pizzed on by serial liars obama/biden and them telling us it's rain. How many of those GM (govt money) green cars are the rest of you buying? Including those 100K Teslas?
Meanolgrouch | Mar 22, 2012, 11:02 AM EDT
Frosty/Dude: When Democrats retain the White House with its beautiful rainbow president, perhaps even sweep Congress, the ultraconservative ragsheets will shout that we brought in alien imposters to swell our voting ranks. There are pitiful people in this world who will buy that, too. No, I don't imagine Joe Biden was surprised or intimidated in the least. He's a wonderful, caring man with a soft spot in his heart even for enemies.
dude19 | Mar 22, 2012, 09:58 AM EDT
How does such drivel make it into a newspaper (or even a blog)? Someone booed at a parade? Hold the front page!
Frosty38 | Mar 22, 2012, 09:52 AM EDT
I think it funny and not at all alarming for BO
Meanolgrouch | Mar 22, 2012, 12:23 AM EDT
Wouldn't you know it??? FB let me register as Mean olgrouch, gave no warning, and then when I go back to check tonight, there I am as "Meanol Grouch"! What the hey - if you're offered a list of similar names, just look for a picture of the lady with the baby crib. Can't be too many of those.

TheOldPerfessor: My favorite picture of candidate Barack Obama back in 2008 shows him at a podium, intent on some speech. His detractors know - everyone knows! - that he's always going to be the smartest person in the room. That's one reason they hate him in addition to skin color, philosophy, well everything about him. They're frightened, jealous, cowardly bigots who look at him and know beyond all doubt what dinosaurs they really are. Their evolutionary death knells can be heard worldwide. I for one prefer smart people.
Meanolgrouch | Mar 21, 2012, 04:53 PM EDT
TheOldPerfessor, ByTheBay, and especially Eiriamach: It's good to see you keeping the truth alive. I've had some recent trouble getting certain innocuous posts to stick, so I've decided to open my Facebook page to allow anyone to read. Normally I only use FB as an automatic log-in for other sites like this one. It will be tomorrow probably before I get around to enacting the new plan, so don't anyone visit there before then. I don't plan to open it for comments because that would only make one more stop for me when I work. But when something won't stick here, I can just tell the person "FB" and they can go read it there within the half hour. Sparklet must think I skipped out on finishing my lengthy reply to her from another thread.
eiriamach | Mar 21, 2012, 10:25 AM EDT
Well Monsoonman, I've tried your suggestion, to no avail. The cardinal's blog simply removes my "comments." Your 9:03 posting showed up on my screen only after to wrote my 9:50. Really, I should congratulate you on sticking with alleged "facts" and not trying to convince us that the bishops would never tell a lie. . . . The USCCB, I have concluded, are ineducable. Their writing about Sr. Johnson's book "Quest for the Living God" makes the paucity of even their theological training eminently clear. I expect that Cardinal Dolon and his confreres wouldn't know the difference between a zygote and an Poc ar Buille, so no point talking with them about the HHS mandate. I feel sorry for Catholics represented by so under-educated a group as the USCCB.
Monsoonman | Mar 21, 2012, 10:06 AM EDT
Like I said eirimach...Talk to Cardinal Dolan about it
eiriamach | Mar 21, 2012, 09:50 AM EDT
Monsoonman, I am willing to look at more sources IF you can cite any medical research about "Ella" or the other medications that the USCCB claims are "abortifacients" included in the HHS Rule. But first, do see my postings of Feb. 21 on Cahir O'Doherty's "GOP's small government of the bedroom - best form of contraception is abstinence," Sat, Feb 18, 2012 at 08:27 AM; there's more at Niall O'Dowd's "Catholic vote is key to 2012 presidential election -- Barack Obama controversy on contraception a huge issue," Wedn, Feb 15, 2012 at 07:45 AM, and at Antoinette Kelly's "Timothy Dolan: Bishops and Obama’s White House not working out 'wrinkles' on mandate," Fri Mar 9, 2012, 10:35 AM. We've been back and forth on this lie by the USCCB about abortifacients: the bishops know that Catholics will not oppose a mandate for health insurance to cover contraceptives, but they think Catholics will oppose a mandate covering abortion, so the bishops are calling some contraceptives abortifacients. It won't wash. There's no clinical research to support it, and there's plenty showing that it is not true, for example, "Emergency contraception prevents ovulation. It has no impact on pregnancies that are already underway" (Van Look & Stewart, 1998).
TheOldPerfessor | Mar 21, 2012, 09:33 AM EDT
Deep trouble for Obama? I don't think so. It just means that your friends at Flaks News have been doing their job promulgating the biggest smear campaign ever seen in America. Unfortunately, it only takes root with the kind of ignorant goobers who will believe anything that comes out of the Spin Room.
Monsoonman | Mar 21, 2012, 09:25 AM EDT
OK eirimach...I brought you to water, but you refuse to drink. The excerpt I put up there is correct, it forces the church to pay along with everyone else who doesn't go along with these provisions.If U want to believe the double speak from this administration go ahead. I am not going to waste anymore ink on you. Go argue with Cardinal Dolan.
eiriamach | Mar 21, 2012, 09:03 AM EDT
Monsoonman, the National Center for Public Policy Research, which you quote, is a conservative think tank run by the Ridenours. It is nothing like a clinical research institute; it has NO MEDICAL STAFF; it spins political news and tries to frighten readers with its PROPHECY about what HHS "will soon require" but DOES NOT REQUIRE! Sebelius of HHS has said, "In August 2011, the Department of Health and Human Services issued an interim final rule that will require most health insurance plans to cover preventive services for women including recommended contraceptive services without charging a co-pay, co-insurance or a deductible. The rule allows certain non-profit religious employers that offer insurance to their employees the choice of whether or not to cover contraceptive services. Today [Jan 20] the department is announcing that the final rule on preventive health services will ensure that women with health insurance coverage will have access to the full range of the Institute of Medicine’s recommended preventive services, including all FDA -approved forms of contraception." Yes, sterilization services are covered-- strange, isn't it, that the USCCB has not focused on these, which are available to both men and women? No, abortion services ARE NOT INCLUDED! The burden of proof is not on me or on Sebelius or on Obama. The burden of proof is on those who falsely claim something different from the explicit provisions of the HHS Rule.
Meanolgrouch | Mar 21, 2012, 08:57 AM EDT
I hope this thread stays active awhile. Isn't it remarkable how sore losers like to twist everything into a GOP lie? Honestly, the GOP has no standing to preach. It only takes a second to find out who are the paid robo-writers on any website. They cut and paste from a master response list, and it sticks out like a sore thumb. Nothing original about that or them. They even instruct their goons to register under a variety of usernames so they sound like more people. Too bad, guys - a good Author Verification Software suite will finger you every time.
BrianO | Mar 21, 2012, 08:50 AM EDT
Amazing how so many Odrama supporters can be found for a video shoot, I'm sure it wasn't staged, that would be dis-honest.
Glyndwr | Mar 20, 2012, 07:02 PM EDT
Some here aren't too bright. The only places where Biden got a positive reception were the places that the Obama camp had set up volunteers with Obama signs. All the ordinary folks booed the heck out of Biden.
Monsoonman | Mar 20, 2012, 06:02 PM EDT
sunspotter5 You must be a product of US public education, or else you missed the day they taught about the Q words. Quaff is a common description for yr hair/hairstyle
Monsoonman | Mar 20, 2012, 05:57 PM EDT
Here ya go eirimach, right from National Center for Public Policy Research. Now YOU prove to me that abortion/sterilization is NOT included in Obamacare and is NOT being forced on the Churches to pay for it TIA: Excerpt: "must cover all FDA-approved contraceptive and sterilization services without charging a co-pay, co-insurance or a deductible.1 Because the FDA has approved "contraceptive" or "morning-after" drugs like Plan B, Next Choice, and Ella, federal regulations will soon require virtually all employer-provided health insurance plans to pay for contraception, sterilization procedures, and early abortifacients."
Monsoonman | Mar 20, 2012, 04:34 PM EDT
eiriamach, I admire your patience in responding to the factually and cerebrally challenged but you do it with style and competence. Brava!
AnPiobaire | Mar 20, 2012, 03:51 PM EDT
The crowd booed Biden..... except for those who didn't, or who cheered.... who were, as far as the video shows, the majority of the crowd. The real news, sorry Farnan: "Some in the crowd booed Biden, many more cheered".
eiriamach | Mar 20, 2012, 03:36 PM EDT
Cite your sources, Monsoonman. Have you been drinking the Kool Aid too? There is no credible medical scientist who has supplied evidence that the HHS rule mandates insurance coverage for any form of abortion. You can say it, but it isn't true. It isn't a mistake, because there's no credible published basis for the claim. So unless you are a qualified medical researcher conducting your own clinical experiments, or you think you have some divine revelation, you're helping to perpetrate a lie.
sunspotter5 | Mar 20, 2012, 02:16 PM EDT
They "quaffed" Joe Biden then did they? They'll drink anything there.
Monsoonman | Mar 20, 2012, 01:17 PM EDT
eirimach: Sorry pal/palett, since when do you think Obama pays attention to law? He worms around it & makes executive orders to suit his needs. Obama care is forcing the church to pay 4 abortion procedures/birth control.
irishhero84 | Mar 20, 2012, 01:09 PM EDT
Well done Mr. Farnan. Can't blame them for booing Biden, they were just expressing what most of America feels.
eiriamach | Mar 20, 2012, 12:23 PM EDT
Who's drinking the Kool Aid? Ed Farnan, apparently: "the large segment of Irish Catholic citizens who feel offended and betrayed by the Obama administrations decision to force Catholic institutions to pay for abortion procedures and contraceptives." The Obama administration has not and can not "force [ANY] institutions to pay for abortion procedures." The Hyde Amendment is well established and prohibits federal support for abortion. The HHS mandate would have been struck down quickly if it violated established federal law. This lumping together of abortion and contraceptives is a deceit perpetrated by the USCCB who offer absolutely NO clinical research to support any of their claims that any prescription under the HHS rule-- there are absolutely no abortion"procedures" covered by it-- can cause abortion. How many Catholics have fallen for this lie? Farnan has drunk the Kool Aid, along with a FEW others so completely dependent on self-appointed moral authorities to do their thinking for them that they will not bother to check out any claims made by bishops or priests. Does anyone still wonder how the decades of sexual abuse of children by priests could have continued as long as it has, ignored by a "large segment of Irish Catholic citizens"? Google the HHS mandate; check it out; don't be a mindless, gullible, Kool-Aid-swilling Catholic anti-Obamaite.
eiriamach | Mar 20, 2012, 11:13 AM EDT
cinderfella1, to call our president 'Osama Obama' is not cute or clever, it is disgusting and shameful. On this president's orders, cool, calm and courageous, the real Osama, killer of 3,000 Americans, was taken down. Even for Seal Team Six this was an incredibly risky mission - so many things could have gone wrong. Had they, Obama would have been crusified by dopes like you and he would have willingly taken responsibility. He took that infamous '3am call' and made a very brave and very lonely decision to GO. Fortunately for all of us you will never have to make such life or death decisions - you will sit back on your lazy arse and insult our president. Bravo!!
eiriamach | Mar 20, 2012, 10:17 AM EDT
jamieLM, you're right on the money, it's not unusual at all, especially in these polarized times. Even so, Biden's reception in Pittsburgh was more positive than negative and, given, that Biden's popularity and Obama's strength are in eastern PA rather than the west, I'd say that St. Paddy's Day in Pittsburgh was nothing at all for the Dems to worry about. For Ed Farnan this was another non-story.
jamieLM | Mar 20, 2012, 09:42 AM EDT
It's not all that unusual for politicians to be booed and heckled when they appear in parades and at other public events. It's been going on for years. I wouldn't read that much into it. It wouldn't be all cheers for Romney or Santorum, either.
cinderfella1 | Mar 20, 2012, 12:37 AM EDT
Osama Obama is just like Jim Jones back in the 1970's. And he's leading our nation in the wrong direction. Don't drink the Kool-Aide.
ceceann | Mar 19, 2012, 11:22 PM EDT
I wonder why none of the Eastcoast liberal staffwriters mentioned this? NOT
NinjaMama | Mar 19, 2012, 10:03 PM EDT
Parade goers were rude to show an HONEST(look it up if you're an Obama supporter)emotion in America? But it's acceptable for Obamarama to plant his election propaganda amongst the people, to give the illusion of support? Somebody's a little skewed here. What does the sign in your yard say, WehoIrish? =)
jcampbell | Mar 19, 2012, 09:30 PM EDT
I think you are making a mountain out of a molehill, your hope is showing.

Oh, Mr. Farnan, your right wing bias is showing, lol! You make it sound like this is the first time a politician ever marched in a a parade let alone the St. Patrick's parade! The people who booed were rude is all.

Checked the lic. plates/registration on all of those bussed in Biden grass roots "supporters" at the parade? Most were afl-cio/afscme-seiu in origin. All handed we heart obama signs, along with their lunches as they disgorged from their busses.
seagreen | Mar 23, 2012, 10:39 AM EDT
I happy to hear that all of the busses that transported the members of University "Republican Student Chapters" Students from Liberty and Bob Jones University had a safe trip. Booing Joe Biden in the Pittsburgh parade was definitely worth the road trip for all concerned I am sure...

Eiriamach, my friend, it's been a pleasure knowing you and the other good liberals on this website. Ok, ok... so I could count them on the fingers of my hand. But I'll have to leave the devolved troll babies in your tender loving care. Since I just accepted chairmanship of a volunteer Obama booster group, what little free time I had has totally vanished. Please pass the word to the other adults that I'll miss you and them, and I'll be back at least by November to crow. Until then, tell all my new true friends to keep their powder dry.
eiriamach | Mar 22, 2012, 07:23 PM EDT
Meanolgrouch, Monsoonman has a mind like "sunlight streaming through concrete," to borrow one of his own hopelessly mixed metaphors. You can try throwing some facts in his direction, but then he just squeals like a "swamp pig" (another of his strange "metaphors") when the alligator's rising and he's stuck in the mud.
Monsoonman | Mar 22, 2012, 06:03 PM EDT
You are not a stupid person. Somewhere deep down you know what you stand for is economically/morally bankrupt, so you name call and avoid the brilliant truth staring you in the face. A shame, but sadly typical.
Meanolgrouch | Mar 22, 2012, 05:51 PM EDT
You wouldn't know logic and truth if it bit you on your sitter-downer. Doesn't keep you off your soapbox though, does it? I leave it to impartial readers to decide who's playing the bully here. And no, "impartial readers" does not include teabaggers or crown-crawling toadies.
Monsoonman | Mar 22, 2012, 05:03 PM EDT
Logic dictates-Or is that something foreign to my liberal brethren? "U large scale massively produce technology when it has been proved/market tested and commercially viable....Not before." Ust because you make massive quantities of something with govt $ (mine) doesn't mean it works and is good...Think Oh and stop drinking Obama Kool Aid, USA is the King of cheap energy, we have enuf to last for 200years Natural gas-coal-oil in abundance. Think of a different argument...Man caused global warming perhaps? Bwahahahaha!
Monsoonman | Mar 22, 2012, 04:48 PM EDT
Funny when you listen to the liberal justification of spending other peoples money being "compassionate" and "forward thinking"...The king of spending other peoples money is Joe Biden, then take a look at Joes personal charitable giving over the years...Just about zilch....BTW: Logic dictates U large scale massively produce technology when it has been proved/market tested and commercially viable....Not before.

Monsooney, dear, left to you we'd go back to model T's. Surely you realize that fossil fuels are a finite resource? China itself is barreling forward with solar energy r&d. Would you like us to fall even farther behind in the race to the future for a limitless power supply? No, I'd rather let THEM eat OUR dust. Ha! and the teabaggers call ME retro!
Monsoonman | Mar 22, 2012, 03:58 PM EDT
Yes the matter of honor of those actually buying these govt subsidized cars, are those whose medium income is 187K per year. Hardly the common American citizen. "Aversion to change"? Really? Are you one of those paying for the change? 100 billion taxpayers $ spent on worthless green energy companies in US in last 3 years..What do we have to show for it? 100 billion in more debt to China.
Meanolgrouch | Mar 22, 2012, 02:03 PM EDT
Who bought them? It's a matter of honor in some sets. Reminds me of what FDR said about aversion to change: "A Conservative Is A Man With Two Perfectly Good Legs Who's Never Learned To Step Forward." Left up to some people, the world would be watching telly by candlelight.
Monsoonman | Mar 22, 2012, 12:05 PM EDT
I think the booing from the crowd is a reaction in general from most thinking americans, We're tired of getting pizzed on by serial liars obama/biden and them telling us it's rain. How many of those GM (govt money) green cars are the rest of you buying? Including those 100K Teslas?
Meanolgrouch | Mar 22, 2012, 11:02 AM EDT
Frosty/Dude: When Democrats retain the White House with its beautiful rainbow president, perhaps even sweep Congress, the ultraconservative ragsheets will shout that we brought in alien imposters to swell our voting ranks. There are pitiful people in this world who will buy that, too. No, I don't imagine Joe Biden was surprised or intimidated in the least. He's a wonderful, caring man with a soft spot in his heart even for enemies.

TheOldPerfessor: My favorite picture of candidate Barack Obama back in 2008 shows him at a podium, intent on some speech. His detractors know - everyone knows! - that he's always going to be the smartest person in the room. That's one reason they hate him in addition to skin color, philosophy, well everything about him. They're frightened, jealous, cowardly bigots who look at him and know beyond all doubt what dinosaurs they really are. Their evolutionary death knells can be heard worldwide. I for one prefer smart people.
Meanolgrouch | Mar 21, 2012, 04:53 PM EDT
TheOldPerfessor, ByTheBay, and especially Eiriamach: It's good to see you keeping the truth alive. I've had some recent trouble getting certain innocuous posts to stick, so I've decided to open my Facebook page to allow anyone to read. Normally I only use FB as an automatic log-in for other sites like this one. It will be tomorrow probably before I get around to enacting the new plan, so don't anyone visit there before then. I don't plan to open it for comments because that would only make one more stop for me when I work. But when something won't stick here, I can just tell the person "FB" and they can go read it there within the half hour. Sparklet must think I skipped out on finishing my lengthy reply to her from another thread.
eiriamach | Mar 21, 2012, 10:25 AM EDT
Well Monsoonman, I've tried your suggestion, to no avail. The cardinal's blog simply removes my "comments." Your 9:03 posting showed up on my screen only after to wrote my 9:50. Really, I should congratulate you on sticking with alleged "facts" and not trying to convince us that the bishops would never tell a lie. . . . The USCCB, I have concluded, are ineducable. Their writing about Sr. Johnson's book "Quest for the Living God" makes the paucity of even their theological training eminently clear. I expect that Cardinal Dolon and his confreres wouldn't know the difference between a zygote and an Poc ar Buille, so no point talking with them about the HHS mandate. I feel sorry for Catholics represented by so under-educated a group as the USCCB.
Monsoonman | Mar 21, 2012, 10:06 AM EDT
Like I said eirimach...Talk to Cardinal Dolan about it
eiriamach | Mar 21, 2012, 09:50 AM EDT
Monsoonman, I am willing to look at more sources IF you can cite any medical research about "Ella" or the other medications that the USCCB claims are "abortifacients" included in the HHS Rule. But first, do see my postings of Feb. 21 on Cahir O'Doherty's "GOP's small government of the bedroom - best form of contraception is abstinence," Sat, Feb 18, 2012 at 08:27 AM; there's more at Niall O'Dowd's "Catholic vote is key to 2012 presidential election -- Barack Obama controversy on contraception a huge issue," Wedn, Feb 15, 2012 at 07:45 AM, and at Antoinette Kelly's "Timothy Dolan: Bishops and Obama’s White House not working out 'wrinkles' on mandate," Fri Mar 9, 2012, 10:35 AM. We've been back and forth on this lie by the USCCB about abortifacients: the bishops know that Catholics will not oppose a mandate for health insurance to cover contraceptives, but they think Catholics will oppose a mandate covering abortion, so the bishops are calling some contraceptives abortifacients. It won't wash. There's no clinical research to support it, and there's plenty showing that it is not true, for example, "Emergency contraception prevents ovulation. It has no impact on pregnancies that are already underway" (Van Look & Stewart, 1998).
TheOldPerfessor | Mar 21, 2012, 09:33 AM EDT
Deep trouble for Obama? I don't think so. It just means that your friends at Flaks News have been doing their job promulgating the biggest smear campaign ever seen in America. Unfortunately, it only takes root with the kind of ignorant goobers who will believe anything that comes out of the Spin Room.
Monsoonman | Mar 21, 2012, 09:25 AM EDT
OK eirimach...I brought you to water, but you refuse to drink. The excerpt I put up there is correct, it forces the church to pay along with everyone else who doesn't go along with these provisions.If U want to believe the double speak from this administration go ahead. I am not going to waste anymore ink on you. Go argue with Cardinal Dolan.
eiriamach | Mar 21, 2012, 09:03 AM EDT
Monsoonman, the National Center for Public Policy Research, which you quote, is a conservative think tank run by the Ridenours. It is nothing like a clinical research institute; it has NO MEDICAL STAFF; it spins political news and tries to frighten readers with its PROPHECY about what HHS "will soon require" but DOES NOT REQUIRE! Sebelius of HHS has said, "In August 2011, the Department of Health and Human Services issued an interim final rule that will require most health insurance plans to cover preventive services for women including recommended contraceptive services without charging a co-pay, co-insurance or a deductible. The rule allows certain non-profit religious employers that offer insurance to their employees the choice of whether or not to cover contraceptive services. Today [Jan 20] the department is announcing that the final rule on preventive health services will ensure that women with health insurance coverage will have access to the full range of the Institute of Medicine’s recommended preventive services, including all FDA -approved forms of contraception." Yes, sterilization services are covered-- strange, isn't it, that the USCCB has not focused on these, which are available to both men and women? No, abortion services ARE NOT INCLUDED! The burden of proof is not on me or on Sebelius or on Obama. The burden of proof is on those who falsely claim something different from the explicit provisions of the HHS Rule.
Meanolgrouch | Mar 21, 2012, 08:57 AM EDT
I hope this thread stays active awhile. Isn't it remarkable how sore losers like to twist everything into a GOP lie? Honestly, the GOP has no standing to preach. It only takes a second to find out who are the paid robo-writers on any website. They cut and paste from a master response list, and it sticks out like a sore thumb. Nothing original about that or them. They even instruct their goons to register under a variety of usernames so they sound like more people. Too bad, guys - a good Author Verification Software suite will finger you every time.

Some here aren't too bright. The only places where Biden got a positive reception were the places that the Obama camp had set up volunteers with Obama signs. All the ordinary folks booed the heck out of Biden.

Monsoonman | Mar 20, 2012, 05:57 PM EDT
Here ya go eirimach, right from National Center for Public Policy Research. Now YOU prove to me that abortion/sterilization is NOT included in Obamacare and is NOT being forced on the Churches to pay for it TIA: Excerpt: "must cover all FDA-approved contraceptive and sterilization services without charging a co-pay, co-insurance or a deductible.1 Because the FDA has approved "contraceptive" or "morning-after" drugs like Plan B, Next Choice, and Ella, federal regulations will soon require virtually all employer-provided health insurance plans to pay for contraception, sterilization procedures, and early abortifacients."
Monsoonman | Mar 20, 2012, 04:34 PM EDT
eiriamach, I admire your patience in responding to the factually and cerebrally challenged but you do it with style and competence. Brava!
AnPiobaire | Mar 20, 2012, 03:51 PM EDT
The crowd booed Biden..... except for those who didn't, or who cheered.... who were, as far as the video shows, the majority of the crowd. The real news, sorry Farnan: "Some in the crowd booed Biden, many more cheered".
eiriamach | Mar 20, 2012, 03:36 PM EDT
Cite your sources, Monsoonman. Have you been drinking the Kool Aid too? There is no credible medical scientist who has supplied evidence that the HHS rule mandates insurance coverage for any form of abortion. You can say it, but it isn't true. It isn't a mistake, because there's no credible published basis for the claim. So unless you are a qualified medical researcher conducting your own clinical experiments, or you think you have some divine revelation, you're helping to perpetrate a lie.
sunspotter5 | Mar 20, 2012, 02:16 PM EDT
They "quaffed" Joe Biden then did they? They'll drink anything there.
Monsoonman | Mar 20, 2012, 01:17 PM EDT
eirimach: Sorry pal/palett, since when do you think Obama pays attention to law? He worms around it & makes executive orders to suit his needs. Obama care is forcing the church to pay 4 abortion procedures/birth control.
irishhero84 | Mar 20, 2012, 01:09 PM EDT
Well done Mr. Farnan. Can't blame them for booing Biden, they were just expressing what most of America feels.
eiriamach | Mar 20, 2012, 12:23 PM EDT
Who's drinking the Kool Aid? Ed Farnan, apparently: "the large segment of Irish Catholic citizens who feel offended and betrayed by the Obama administrations decision to force Catholic institutions to pay for abortion procedures and contraceptives." The Obama administration has not and can not "force [ANY] institutions to pay for abortion procedures." The Hyde Amendment is well established and prohibits federal support for abortion. The HHS mandate would have been struck down quickly if it violated established federal law. This lumping together of abortion and contraceptives is a deceit perpetrated by the USCCB who offer absolutely NO clinical research to support any of their claims that any prescription under the HHS rule-- there are absolutely no abortion"procedures" covered by it-- can cause abortion. How many Catholics have fallen for this lie? Farnan has drunk the Kool Aid, along with a FEW others so completely dependent on self-appointed moral authorities to do their thinking for them that they will not bother to check out any claims made by bishops or priests. Does anyone still wonder how the decades of sexual abuse of children by priests could have continued as long as it has, ignored by a "large segment of Irish Catholic citizens"? Google the HHS mandate; check it out; don't be a mindless, gullible, Kool-Aid-swilling Catholic anti-Obamaite.

cinderfella1, to call our president 'Osama Obama' is not cute or clever, it is disgusting and shameful. On this president's orders, cool, calm and courageous, the real Osama, killer of 3,000 Americans, was taken down. Even for Seal Team Six this was an incredibly risky mission - so many things could have gone wrong. Had they, Obama would have been crusified by dopes like you and he would have willingly taken responsibility. He took that infamous '3am call' and made a very brave and very lonely decision to GO. Fortunately for all of us you will never have to make such life or death decisions - you will sit back on your lazy arse and insult our president. Bravo!!
eiriamach | Mar 20, 2012, 10:17 AM EDT
jamieLM, you're right on the money, it's not unusual at all, especially in these polarized times. Even so, Biden's reception in Pittsburgh was more positive than negative and, given, that Biden's popularity and Obama's strength are in eastern PA rather than the west, I'd say that St. Paddy's Day in Pittsburgh was nothing at all for the Dems to worry about. For Ed Farnan this was another non-story.
jamieLM | Mar 20, 2012, 09:42 AM EDT
It's not all that unusual for politicians to be booed and heckled when they appear in parades and at other public events. It's been going on for years. I wouldn't read that much into it. It wouldn't be all cheers for Romney or Santorum, either.
cinderfella1 | Mar 20, 2012, 12:37 AM EDT
Osama Obama is just like Jim Jones back in the 1970's. And he's leading our nation in the wrong direction. Don't drink the Kool-Aide.
