Of course, this wouldn't be true if FDR were a Repub, I am certain.
Yet New Deal programs were expanded and continued under R's like Eisenhower & Nixon.
Oh, wait, I GET IT ... Anything not Reagan is anti-American!
The radical right hate FDR and his New Deal because it resulted in a Democratic majority in the House and Senate for over 40 years. Why? Because America was happy and was succeeding. The counter revolution to this success and Democratic Majority is the true roots of conservatism. The Cons HATE the fact that America loves the Big Tent Democratic Party. That's why they want Obama and America to fail. They can't afford another 40 years of a successful America because it will prove once and for all that conservatism is just an extremist faction that doesn't work.
Levin was going on and on about his new book (I wonder who is going to buy THAT crap) and how he was all about the Constitution and our founding fathers and all. Funny though, he went on a rant about God and our founders, and so on and so forth, and mentioned that in the Declaration, they mentioned God all over the place, and that is what we base our laws upon. Actually Levin, the Constitution is what we base our laws upon. The Declaration was a strongly worded and well written press release, tell the king of England to go and "F" himself. The Constitution, which you said you hold so dear to your heart, does not mention God or religion hardly at all, except to express that we have the freedom of whatever religion we want, and that the government will not specify a religion.
I wish these guys would go back, and, you know, read some history.
Lets put this in perspective. This book is Published by Threshold Edition
an imprint of Simon and Schuster. Mary Matilin has been the editor.
They print only conservative titles

Levin shamelessly has used his radio program to constantly pitch his books as does Hannity (radio and television). The only way Levin can get anyone to show up for a book signing is to get Hannity to sponsor the event with free coffee and the promise that other talk radio entertainers will drop by. Then they purposely under ordered, or hid his book so that it looks like he sold out every copy.
His Men in Black book was panned as a cut and past hack job and his big claim to fame, other being a maniacle, lying little troll is that he ran errands for Ed Meese.
He really should stick with overly sweet and tear jerking drama of his
dog books

Let's see, woudl you be crabbing about a publshing house that publishes ony left wing crapola? I think not.
How about grousing about Obama beign the only US President to sign a book deal WHILE IN OFFICE? Even slick Willie waited unti lhe was out of office to get published. how's that for an abuse of station and status for self gain?
Hypocrits.. that's what I love about this site is the blantant display of hypocrisy it always affords.
Thing is, Obama's books were bestsellers on their own, before he was even a US Senator. Levin, et all, only write crappy books, and no real publisher would take them. Show us a liberal counterpart to Levin's publisher, I am willing to bet, that you can't find one.
Missdee - Perhaps the problem you have here is that you do not understand the difference between a book deal and a book being published.
So what is Obama pushing on the radio & TV? His book deal? His non-existent book?
MissDee, in the future before you press 'post', take a deep breath, then use spell check.
Whats'a matter, dee, bush's book deal got you down? Maybe he can find a rich conservative or three to buy a few thousand copies in bulk to help inflate sales and make his book look more popular than it really is. But just a suggestion - for his next book, perhaps he should refrain from doing another pop-up...
Now I understand why so many conservatives don't value an education. Hard to actually value something you don't have.
Listen, this site is about hypocrisy, conservative hypocrisy, a never ending supply of conservative hypocrisy and all mmfa does is hold it up to a mirror, verbatim, in context and still, you whine. Do you like what you see?
The modern American English dictionary would be too much for the rightwingers - they prefer one-page handouts filled with buzzwords instead.
Lib, 'Democrat' Party, terrorist, WMD, mushroom cloud, Iraq, 9/11, statist, Marxist, Nazi, Islamofascist, tyranny, Joe the Plumber, Palin, Bush, GWOT, Cheney, raise your taxes, alert, threat, etc. There, I just saved you the effort of having to obtain one of those rightwing wordlists.
They won't read the modern dictionary. It has to be the old testament version of the dictionary for them to take it seriously.
Well, for starters, the poor saps at MMFA who have to suffer through his insane diatribes.
I listen to him on occassion... just to keep up on what the enemy is up to.
Here.. shove this up your nose, from your own beloved Huff'n'Puff Post.....
"
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama, a best-selling author who received royalties of $2.5 million last year, will get hundreds of thousands more for a youth-oriented version of his published memoir and will write a nonfiction book after he leaves the White House.
Obama agreed in early January to deliver the new book after he leaves office. The White House said he already had a deal with Crown Publishing Group to write another book, and agreed Jan. 9 that he would produce the book after his term ends.
About a week later, shortly before his inauguration, Obama agreed to a $500,000 advance for an abridged version of "Dreams From My Father" that would be suitable for middle school or young adult readers, according to a new personal financial disclosure report released this week.
Obama will get $250,000 of the advance and the publisher will get the other half, a White House spokesman said Thursday, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to be quoted by name."
Let's see.. the deal as signed January 9, 2009. He was elected Nov 4th.... seems to me that qualifies.
The problem is that you hypocrits dont' even pay attention to your own liberal blather sources enough to know anything. You just attack me wiithout doing your own research. Or perhaps MMfA would like to put out another of their sorry-sack whining "Take Actions" on HuffPo now? As for my education, cough up your PhD's fellas... I have one. Do you?
oh yes, you all do.. it's calle "Piled Higher and Deeper"...
Thanks for proving our point and proving YOU are wrong, he didn't sign the deal while he was president. He signed the deal BEFORE he was president. Ouch. Missdee = Fail.
Furthermore, he "will deliver the new book after he leaves office." Ouch. MissDee provides a link to prove SHE WAS WRONG. Thanks for the laughs.
Missdee = Fail x2
Amazing. All that anger from MissDee over absolutely nothing.
Conservatives: masters of the phony outrage.
Maybe they just hate capitalism?
Well Rush hates it - last week he ranted about how he hates people who manufacture things, doctors, lawyers, and scientists. Lots of capitalism going on in those fields. Oh, and educators too.
Rush's idea of 'capitalism' apparently is sitting on your ass moving paper and counting cash. No actual 'work' involved, nothing being produced. Very much like what he does 15 hours/week except he moves his mouth.

What is absolutely hilarious my friend about what you posted, is that you just disproved your own point, and more than proved ours, by using HuffPo as a matter of fact.
See, as you know, the election was in November. Apparently, what you don't know, is that Obama takes office on January 20, 2009, that's why it is called Inauguration day. This is when the term of the previous President (Bush in this case) runs out. We, the liberals on this site, refuted what you were saying, because we said, and you even proved us correct, was that Obama was not writing a book while in office, and made no deals to write a book, while in office. Never happened. Thanks for providing that information for us, to make us look like we knew what we were talking about, and for once again to prove your ignorance about all things democratic (like how Inauguration works).
Also, you might want to read up on the electoral college, and how that all works:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Electoral_College
Michael Savage has a PhD, and that doesn't make him smart. Earning a PhD doesn't make one smart, it makes one good at schoolwork. And going by the blather you normally post, you might want to give your PhD back. What was it in? Because for one so apparently educated, and who didn't know that Obama didn't take the Presidency until 20-Jan-09, phew boy.
Geez.........is there nothing too silly for wingers to get peeved about ?
Focus on america and not the dog whistle politics of republicans
