This is the city: Los Angeles, California. I work here. I'm an ex-mayor. Los Angeles is a magnet for people from all over the world. Some of them run for public office. Inevitably some of them stray from the golden rule and rule for those that have the gold. That's when I go to work. My name is Yorty. I'm a dead pol.

Wait just a minute!
Higby is preparing a post late on a Saturday night?
Did something happen recently that is making you put in some effort on the weekend for a change?
What on earth could that be?
You must've gotten a new asshole drilled for you Pigby! Do tell!

Didn't look like he lost his cool to me? In fact he looked totally cool in the face of a few neo fascist hecklers, that in the time of the Bush/Cheney regime would have been mandated to voice any protest from a segregated area a mile or so from Bush or Cheney.
In fact, Bush/Cheney almost always gave speech's in front of a selected audience at some military base tarmac or aircraft carrier deck.
At least Obama has the nuts and courage to speak openly and allow protest.
Get real Higby!

Why Harry Reid is going to retire.
14.4% unemployment rate in Nevada, worst in the nation. Even worse than Michigan.
And then you have to crank in the underemployed and those who aren't looking anymore, and it's over 20%.
REALLY STUPID IDEA FOR OBAMA TO HAVE TOLD PEOPLE TO NOT GO TO VEGAS.
Obama puts his foot in his mouth more than any other politician in American history. Two years down, and two years to go.
Fortunately, the next two years, he won't have the ability to get things done at-will. He sure squandered his best opportunity.

As a lifelong Democrat I'm so pissed off at my party I'm voting the other way this time. Obama has been a huge disappointment and the fact he's helped Wall STreet executives more then the people of this country is bad. Kamala Harris is a joke and Latinos I know are voting for Cooley. I voted for Brown the last time and will never Vote for him again. He couln't even fix Oakland. Boxer has been a joke and had 28 yrs to do something and I can't see her being an asset this time round. Many of my friends also Democrats are not voting for their party this time.

He's been funding global AIDS?
He's barely funding W's pledge to fight global AIDS. That's why they're protesting.
His lack of global aid for social programs is what is turning African countries to China, and- surprise, surprise- under his watch we've had more major threat of terrorism on American soil than any time after 9/11 during the W years.
I've decided this guy is the biggest Dbag elected official ever.

Obama didn't lose his cool, he lost his modus operandi. He lost his ability to lie, demonize and distort because the eyes of he nation dog him wherever he goes these days.
It's a long way from those good old bad old days in Chicago where, as a 'community organizer' he could mobilize a mob of Jeremiah Wright thugs to drown out any opposition.
As you watch Obama's reaction to those in the audience who cannot drink the Obama Kool Aide any more, you can almost see the veins in his temples pooping as the Audacious One laments the loss of his hate base. Try to play the race card on national tv, Obama, that'll drive your approval ratings even lower.
We now know how you really are Obama, and we now know that you are just another race baiting divide and conquer empty vessel. And we'll be watching and waiting to see how you implode in the days to come.

Um, 7:05, they were Gay Activists heckling the "One" over lack of AIDS funding. Take off your leftist, Obama worshiping hat off, and REALLY listen to who it was. Your another "Vast right conspiracy" nut!!

I love the way Obama handled the teabagging protesters. Who cares about them. They're not effective. They are disruptive to the people who wanted to hear Obama speak though if that was their point.

Oops my bad there. I'm so used to seeing the nutty teabaggers I just realized that these were the gay guys who were pissed that Obama won't come out totally for gay marriage. I understand. On the other hand - baby steps. Get rid of DADT first. You can't have everything at once.
Vote Brown, Newsom, Boxer, Harris, and get over your one-issue selves for a minute. Stop expecting so much.
Trojan, you know how long government takes to work and yet you still post this crap.
