The Top 40

Yes, there is the matter of the football and the codes. Don't want to screw that one up. Does Obama care? He's so seemingly out of touch with events he might say he only read about the attack in the NYT, if he is still around to comment.

Misc thoughts:

Jimmy Cater did not want the briefcase man near him.

I read an article the other day how the launch codes were "000000" because that was easiest code to have at the time of crisis.

We didn't activate the Emergency Broadcast System on 9/11.

The 0000 code was begun in the 1960s under JFK, I believe. It was the military's attempt to square the circle of being ready for war and coping with feckless, Hamlet-impersonating politicians.

It's really interesting reading. Google Permissive Action Links (PAL) and browse through the links.

BTW, our nukes are aging. We haven't tested them in years. They degrade over time, such as the tritium gas, IIRC. Under The New Start Treaty, supported by hippies and RINOs, the US must cut it's number of weapons to 1500 and the Russians are allowed to modernize and increase their nukes. Our politicians have given up on defending the USA, they are in the business of showing each other how reckless they can be, at our expense.

Silly Scott, you act as though government cared about its people at some point in the past.

How did we miss this one:

"AS his popularity plummets to historic lows and his presidential legacy is in tatters, BARACK OBAMA has suffered a shocking secret meltdown.

White House insiders say the deeply depressed Commander-in-Chief is hardly eating or sleeping, hasn’t talked to First Lady Michelle, 49, in weeks and is convinced everyone hates him!

“Barack is shattered that his presidency and his life are in free-fall,” says a source.

“He can’t believe the American public has turned on him so viciously, mainly because of the Obamacare disaster. No one has been able to help him.

“Michelle has tried everything she can to comfort him, but he just snaps, ‘Go away. Leave me alone.’

“Barack watches news reports, reads the papers and sees the shocking poll results – and he loses it.

“When he saw one report that his approval rating had plummeted to a staggeringly low 37 percent, he had a total meltdown.

“He buried his head in his hands, saying, ‘Everybody hates me.’ When he raised his head, his eyes were glistening with tears.

“He’s lost the confidence and affection of the public that he so desperately needs to go on with the hardest job in the world.

A recent CBS poll said the 52-year-old President has a lower job approval rating than Toronto Mayor Rob Ford – who admitted to smoking crack and is still five points HIGHER than Obama!

“That was the last straw for Barack,” says the insider. “He was mortified and humiliated.”

@Fat Man, then I suggest the rotten slug should take a 3 week vacation in Hawaii so he can recharge and regroup. Maybe a volcano will blow.

I wonder if Peggy thought about "launch codes" back in 2008?

As far as Mr. Obama is concerned - at least Richard Nixon had the balls to sneak out of the White House and talk to bemused students at the Lincoln Memorial.

And pictures of Nixon wandering the halls of the White HOuse at midnight, muttering to himself,... and Henry Kissinger.

Send in Nurse Ratched.

I'm so glad that the Pegster has come up with a hot new title for her blog. And so appropriate.

I don't think everyone hates him... I am sure cocoboy is still found of him.

Putin loves him, (but in a manly way). Vlad can play at empire again.

The country that hired, trained, and promoted Curtis LeMay did care about the outcome. It was rightly prepared to melt the opposition. It should have melted the opposition.
