What was the percentage of the popular vote? Of course, popular vote doesn't mean **** - it's the Electoral College that counts. This is what keeps California and New York from naming the President at the expense of the more sparsely populated (but just as important) states.Wasnt' it something like 64 for Obama and 62 McCain?
Obama got one of Nebraska's electoral votes. Omaha and surrounding area.26 voted for both of them.
And that's why the Democrats want to get rid of the electoral college.What was the percentage of the popular vote? Of course, popular vote doesn't mean **** - it's the Electoral College that counts.

FBI's newest 'Most Wanted' terrorist is AmericanFBI's newest 'Most Wanted' terrorist is American
By DEVLIN BARRETT, Associated Press Writer Devlin Barrett, Associated Press Writer ? Tue Apr 21, 2:50 pm ET
WASHINGTON ? A fugitive animal rights activist believed to be hiding outside the United States has become the first domestic terror suspect named to the FBI's list of "Most Wanted" terrorists.
Daniel Andreas San Diego, a 31-year-old computer specialist from Berkeley, Calif., is wanted for the 2003 bombings of two corporate offices in California.
Authorities say San Diego has unusual tattoos, including one that shows a burning field and proclaims, "It only takes a spark."
FBI Assistant Director Michael Heimbach announced San Diego's addition to its "Most Wanted" terrorists list at a press conference Tuesday.

She said this on CNN over the weekend:
KING: A lot of Democrats in Congress want to you investigate [Joe Arpaio]. They think he is over the line. He says he is just enforcing the law and the problem is the federal government.
NAPOLITANO: Well, you know, Sheriff Joe, he is being very political in that statement, because he knows that there aren?t enough law enforcement officers, courtrooms or jail cells in the world to do what he is saying.
What we have to do is target the real evil-doers in this business, the employers who consistently hire illegal labor, the human traffickers who are exploiting human misery.
And yes, when we find illegal workers, yes, appropriate action, some of which is criminal, most of that is civil, because crossing the border is not a crime per se. It is civil. But anyway, going after those as well.

Julie Kirchner gently reminds the DHS Secretary of what the law actually says:
ENTRY WITHOUT INSPECTION IS A CRIME: In fact, pursuant to
http://trac.syr.edu/laws/08/08USC01325.html8 U.S.C. 1325
http://trac.syr.edu/laws/08/08USC01325.html, crossing the border illegally is a crime?a misdemeanor for the first offense and a felony for the second and subsequent offenses. But of course, ignoring or mischaracterizing the law is a very convenient way for those in power to avoid the laws they find most inconvenient. Sadly, statements such as these are also a signal that Americans will have to wait a long time before their government articulates any credible immigration enforcement policy.
Jena McNeill at The Foundry sees through Napolitano?s parsing:
This ?interpretation? of the law by Secretary Napolitano seems to be the latest in an effort by the Obama Administration to scale back interior immigration enforcement efforts in the United States. As recently as March 28th, Napolitano made the decision to delay a series of immigration raids and other workplace actions aimed at finding illegal workers. At the same time, both President Obama and Secretary Napolitano have announced new initiatives intending to send the message that they take the issues at the southern border seriously. But the Administration cannot fight cartels while ignoring illegal immigration?people smuggling is part of the problem, not a separate issue. Legalization will only make matters worse. Granting the people here illegally asylum will only encourage more illegal border crossing. Likewise, failing to enforce workplace and immigration laws will only encourage more to ignore the law.
I dunno, McCain went pretty soft on border issues during the campaign.Janet makes great strides to comply with the current administration's socialist agenda. I bet you, dollars to fukken doughnuts, that if McCain were in the White House, she would lean towards securing the border with a more adamant solution.
... to get the Latino vote.I dunno, McCain went pretty soft on border issues during the campaign.

Ottawa bureau
OTTAWA ? It's "unfortunate" the top official in charge of American's homeland security wrongly suggested the 9/11 terrorists came from Canada, says Bill Elliott, commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
"My initial reaction frankly is I was a little bit surprised and somewhat disappointed that the secretary isn't better informed," Elliott told the Star, just before he was to testify at a parliamentary committee.
Elliott was responding to suggestions by Janet Napolitano, U.S. Secretary for Homeland Security, who commented in a CBC interview that the U.S. is concerned that "to the extent that terrorists have come into our country or suspected or known terrorists have entered our country across a border, it's been across the Canadian border. There are real issues there."
Asked if she was referring to the 9/11 perpetrators, which have been shown by an American commission to have entered the U.S. legally on visas ? mostly from Saudi Arabia, not Canada, Napolitano said: "Uh, not just those but others as well."
Ohhhh.... I completely vehemently, with a fukken passion, fukken concur. Janet Napolitano is Obama's worst cabinet appointment!Is Napolitano just a complete idiot?
