When I say "nuke", make it "drop two MOABs and a bunker-buster over every known military and government facility of theirs".
The kaboom level is set by the mood of the guy in charge, actually.
While left alone, we leave alone. When attacked, we respond with overwhelming force, a completely disproportionate reprisal.
:mrt: "LETS END THE FED"
:think: I think he should just rag certain members of the High Court for turning their lifetime appointment into a thinly disguised political hackery.I mean go on and on about it. Maybe talk Franken into writing the copy. See how long it takes them to storm out.
"Hey, there's nothing like the appearance of judicial impartiality. And that sums a few of you up, don't you think?"
(uncomfortable rustling of robes)
"But seriously, I'm just happy to see the High Court decided to make it tonight...High Court, that would explain the premise for a few of your decisions lately, wouldn't it."
(a few boos)
"Money is speech, is it? Well, then that must make Congress an outlet mall."
(uncomprehending applause, cheers from the gallery)
Then he could launch into a Tea Party bit, like my old signature line...
"Well, I see there are a few Tea Party members here."
(smattering of self congratulatory applause)
"I hear you people have arrived to take the country back-"
(louder applause/a few shout outs)
"To about 1950."
(Boos and random 'you lie!' shout outs)
"But seriously, you're quite a movement. A little backed up, but quite a movement."
(angry stirring)
"I thought about reflecting tonight on my disappointment in the past couple of years, about all the bickering, the unproductive positioning and empty rhetoric, the deep, unyielding division, the unwillingness or inability of men and women of good conscience to set aside their pettier differences and work together for the nation's good. Then I thought, why pile onto my own party at this point."
(terribly conflicted applause)
Now THAT I'd tune into...maybe dvr.
:think: Forgeting authoring books. You should be Obama's speech writer. :chuckle:

He could say . . .
I have decided to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan as of this summer.
I have decided to propose defense spending cuts including removal of some international military bases to refocus our forces on actual threats.
I have decided to propose eliminating subsidies to fossil fuel based energy firms as well as to large agricultural corporations.
I have decided to encourage the FCC to propose true net neutrality and to put stricter limits on large corporate mergers. I will direct Federal agencies to look for competition limiting practices.
He could assure us by saying that we are :Nineveh: "investing" not "borrowing from China to spend".
