Post-Partisan Obama

[OCinBuffalo]

Or was it a "media" promise? I had a difficult time differentiating between Obama making promises, and the MSM making promises for him, during the campaign.

 

Anyway, the concept that Obama would unite us is now officially dead: link here

He said Republicans had driven the economy into a ditch and then stood by and criticized while Democrats pulled it out. Now that progress has been made, he said, "we can't have special interests sitting shotgun. We gotta have middle class families up in front. We don't mind the Republicans joining us. They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back."

OK usual suspects on this board: How in the hell do you expect the Republicans NOT to completely oppose Obama on every single issue when he says stuff like this?

 

This is the end of your "whaaaa, Republicans won't support Obama on anything, whaaaa, Republicans won't put forward any ideas, whaaaaa" crying. Every time you post that garbage from here on out, expect me to post this link, and laugh at you.

 

This is politically idiotic. It's as if he is purposely trying to lose. And don't tell me about "firing up the base". "The base" consists of 20% of the electorate. Is he trying to pull a Mondale(lose 49 states in 2012)? Does he think any of this helps the Democrats who are trying to hang onto their seats? If not, then what possible purpose does this serve?

 

Apparently, as I said before, the Democrats are only getting money from the absolute wingnuts, so now Obama is speaking wingnut.

When did right-wingers become the pussies they always accuse lefties of being?

They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back.

 

Imagine the stojan hitting the fan if a Republican had said that about Obama

Last time I checked holding a man to his word had nothing to do with being a *ussy.

I'm just not sure whose word we are talking about here, Obama's or the media's.

 

And I don't care to be labeled a right-winger, when I don't have anything in common with them except I am done with big government. I don't care about:

1. gays in the military

2. gays in general

3. abortion

4. school prayer - I prayed plenty in school, mostly that my boner would go away before the bell rang.

5. prayer in general - its supposed to be personal after all, so why are we talking about it publicly?

6. secularism running amok - as long as none of it gets on me

7. (insert contentious social issue here)

I think all drugs should be legalized immediately, I think women deserve equal pay for equal work, I think labor unions are a good idea(for now, but they are pushing it), I think we need a strong military, because we do, and I think we need comprehensive immigration reform, and if the only way to do that is some amnesty, it's worth the price of fixing the system.

 

Yeah, I'm a real right winger alright!

 

But ultimately, I don't care about any of these things if it means the economy is going to be screwed up by d-bag liberals, who actually aren't liberals in the true sense of the word, but socialists who can't seem to learn from history, or what the f is happening in Europe right f'ing now.

Holy crap. That would send the MSM into a rage of epic proportions. Ariana Huffington would split at the seams. The DailyKos server would catch on fire. Hell, I bet it would even bring The Coffee Party back to life.

[drinkTHEkoolaid]

It's Bush's fault Obama has broken his promises

Haha, I completely forgot about that Association of Assclowns. If they are the same people you see in an average coffe "spot" it's little wonder that they went nowhere.

Yes, OC, I have followed your career here...your resume is impeccable...are you a tea-bagger then?

You don't care about something, so it is unimportant. Sounds like a tea-bagger.

 

But ultimately, I don't care about any of these things if it means the economy is going to be screwed up by d-bag liberals, who actually aren't liberals in the true sense of the word, but socialists who can't seem to learn from history, or what the f is happening in Europe right f'ing now.

 

So, you are a tea-bagger? Anything that doesn't matter to you, is unimportant...I get it. Did you get your panties in a wad when George Bush proclaimed himself a "uniter, not a divider"?

I'd really like to meet the chucklehead who decided the best way to inspire liberals to get more politically active was to gather them in a place to sip non-fat organic frappucinos while sitting in oversized sofas listening to digitally remastered Nina Simone music.

 

Real genius, there.

My first thought, reading that quote, was Rosa Parks.

No. I have had these positions ever since my last Grateful Dead show, at Soldier Field in Chicago, and back when I thought teabagging was getting kicked in the balls. I woke up one day, walked around the parking lot, saw unregulated capitalism, egregious profits being made, no taxes being charged, no payroll taxes being paid, unsafe products being sold, and it hit me: "these bastards are absolute hypocrites!". No "liberal" has been allowed to spew their economic/corporationsbad fairy tales around me ever since.

 

I am sure things like gays in the military is important to gays in the military, but it's not urgent for the rest of us.

 

I don't believe in allowing special interests, especially those that affect less than 1% of this country's population, to become more important than getting results with the economy, which affects us all. Same with all the rest of the social issues. We need to focus on first things, first.

 

But go ahead and keep telling yourself that most people care about your pissant agenda. Let's meet back here on Nov. 3rd and we can see who is right, and who is part of a 20% "majority".

Since when does majority=right?

 

You are all over the place...I just think it is funny that you have such a hard on for Obama, which seems unrelated to anything else on your dashboard. I agree with some of your positions, but you started this thread by acting as though Obama had made some incredible statement that offended your sensibilities. It is also peculiar to me that you (like almost everyone on the PPP) gets so upset and offended when someone lables them a "right winger", "tea-bagger" or "Repulican" but have no problem with terms like "d-bag liberals", "piss-ant agendas" and just generally, hate toward anything or anyone that isn't relative to your life. So, you are a rugged individualist (like everyone on the PPP), but you are just more of the same... perhaps the previous administration has people, like you apparently, believing that a government can't deal with more than one issue at a time?

And probably said that with a smile. Wow, panties in a bunch over nothing. And please the Republicans backing Obama? Come on get real.

[Rob's House]

It is rich how the shrill screaming libs had a hemorage any time GWB so much as farted in the wind, yet when anyone calmly and rationally points out the hypocrisy and lies of Obama, they become smug and indignant at the pettiness of it all.

 

Forgive me if I mischaracterize, but I highly doubt the likes of Kotex and pBills were rolling their eyes at every alleged "scandal" surrounding the Bush WH. Whether it was the bogus Joe Wilson/Valerie Plame fiasco, the U.S. attys non-story, W's national guard record, or his "uniter not a divider" bit, any story was good story for highly emotional outrage.

 

Bush did plenty to criticize as he vigorously reached across the aisle, a la McCain, to jerk the other side off. Yet sadly, the libs couldn't attack him on those things because so much of his Presidency mirrored their agenda, like farm and steel subsidies, "stimulus" checks, medicare expansion, "comprehensive immigration reform" or amnesty as it's properly called, and No Child Left Behind (which amusingly, the left did attack unaware of the fact that their political hero, Ted Kennedy, wrote the damn bill).

 

But perhaps you guys are right. Maybe it is petty to get outraged at a man who is, with the help of Congress, passing radical legislation, running up record deficits on top of already staggering debt, and basically telling anyone and everyone who doesn't take his word as gospel, to get !@#$ed. I mean, it's not like he said "nucular" or anything.

Wah..wah..wah....hysterical post Dick house! You are making my ponit for me, better than I could.
