Obama losing fans on the left too

[erooMynohtnA]

Oh man, ILS, I owe some rep for that Muslim vs Christian post.

It is a cute jacket. I looked it up, I think it's Elie Tahari. But you may not be able to get it anymore. You can try Saks, Bloomingdales or Neiman Marcus. That's where she got it. Reportedly.

I've been stalking eBay and other possible resell outlets.

None of those stores are within driving or paycheck distance.

That sucks. Maybe you can find a knock off? Metrostyle.com has some cute stuff. So does Newport-news.com.

As another note - I don't think it's much of a secret that I didn't and don't agree with some of Obama's policies. But, this show of willingness to compromise raised my opinion of him quite a bit. Unfortunately, as partisan as things are now I don't think it will help him much. Really too bad, because I'd like to see more of it and I hope he keeps trying that route (and I hope the Republicans will have the sense to cooperate). Here's hoping...

your seriously hoping their going to cooperate with that idiot? this happened just before world war 2, its called "appeasement." if they do the right thing by not letting him pass anything, then we will win in 2010 just like we did in 1994, and then hopefully defeat him in 2012.

Please, don't stop- this is priceless.

its funny how that idiot got booed at his speech last night.

I know your tinfoil hat is on a little tight, but try to follow me here. The boos were not directed at Obama....they were directed at Joe Wilson -- A REPUBLICAN -- breaking in and calling the President a liar....right there during a national broadcast....something that even other REPUBLICANS have said crossed the line....McCain for one.

First time I've ever seen that happen at an address to a joint session...

your seriously hoping their going to cooperate with that idiot?

Why not They went along with W Bush....who was barely qualified to tie his own shoes without Cheney's help.

this happened just before world war 2, its called "appeasement."

So.....you're bringing in Goodwin's Law now and equating Obama with Hitler and the GOP with Chamberlain???


Got it....you are officially a brain dead moron...to the ignore list you go.

Yeah, really inept metaphor. Hitler was a Christian, and Obama's totally a Muslim, and Wilt Chamberlain was black and the GOP is overwhelmingly white.

Guys, can't we ban this guy from our sport on the grounds of reeking stupidity??

hmm...both socialists, both anti-semites, both have theyre symbols (the swastika and the O), both are racists (yes, reverse-racism is racist), both hate america (he's spending us to death, and taxes will probably increase soon), both are advocates of "big lies" (global warming), both are trying to indoctrinate the youth, both are charismatic leaders, and both are using "patriotism" to manipulate people (when the only loyalty we should have is to GOD and our family).

no, i am not calling the GOP chamberlin, because he caved. so far, the good politicians have held theyre ground and senator demint has called obamas defeat will be "obamas waterloo." we can only hope.

Please, your incoherent posts are getting increasingly painful to read. Do us all a favor and supplement that scintillating "Christian" education of yours with some supplemental work. A personal favorite of mine is The New Strategy of Style, by Winston and Weathers.

That's great... vote no to anything that Obama might want so you can win the next election.

Nevermind about getting anything done... forget about actually governing... who cares about the people or the country.... "just say no"... where have I heard that before? Oh yeah, it didn't work that time either.

Come back when you've grown up a bit, Chase.

BTW:
"Charismatic" is a bad thing? What about Reagan?

Obama is anti-semitic? Wow, all us Jewish voters must be surprised.

The "hate" America crap nicely describes all the anti-Obama politicians who will vote against anything, regardless of merit, just to see him lose. By that standard, Demint is as un-American as you can get.

Now "patriotism" is a bad thing? I could have sworn the Republicans were chanting it at every turn a few years ago. I guess you're too young to remember that.

Finally, you wouldn't know a socialist if they nationalized your lemonade stand. There is no one even resembling a true socialist in elected office in the U.S. Write a nice little letter to Chavez, Castro, or even Mitterand if you want to get a clue.

....... How exactly do you suggest stopping Democrats from passing things? I mean, sure, the Democrats can easily fail if they're not all on the same page about something. There are a lot of points on healthcare I'm willing to accept as reasonable arguments, even if I don't agree, and so even just for the Dems it's hard to get together.

But the Dems have the House, they have the Senate, and they have the White House. Until the MA special election, they can't directly override a Senate filibuster (And dear LORD why aren't they actually making them filibuster?? Seriously, I get that it's useful and shouldn't be eliminated entirely, but the point is that you have to give something up in order to use it. Make them actually play by the rules instead of throwing your hands up and saying "oh well". Strom Thurmond stood there talking for over 24 hours in opposition to the Civil Rights Act of '57. While I don't agree with him on just about any principle, he clearly stood by his beliefs there.)

Anyway, assuming that the Senate threatens to filibuster every single bill (http://www.senate.gov/pagelayout/leg...e_leg_page.htm) Which would be ludicrous given the things they sometimes vote about (the schedule of house resolutions is sketch comedy gold, I'm telling you).... So let's just say that they refuse to vote for cloture on just the things that could actually affect things, and let things like recognizing the heroism of the person of the day go....

There's still reconciliation. Now, it's a confusing, complicated, and obscure way to get things passed. And, in many circumstances, it could lead to a worse deal for the Republicans (ie, there is some worry that they would be required to put a public option into health care reform passed by reconciliation because it has to be budget neutral.) So, regardless, things will pass. Laws will get made.

Your side lost.

Besides, do you really think that being THAT obstinate will work for Republicans? Reelect us so we can continue to do nothing and stop other people from doing things?


Do you have any idea how much money Joe Wilson's opponent has raised in the last not-even-24-hours????

not doing anything is far better than doing the wrong thing. what do you think would have been better? do you think it would be worse if hitler was a lame duck president?

[MyrddinsPrecint]

both hate america (he's spending us to death, and taxes will probably increase soon).

.... But Obama doesn't hate Germany. So I think you're confused somewhere. Unless you think Hitler was president of the US? Maybe you think Obama is also the leader of Germany?

[Hauptman]

I wish Bush and Cheney had taken that advice. This country would be in much better shape.

To paraphrase, "Not saying anything is better than saying the wrong thing."

Time to talk less, and listen more, Chase. Unless, of course, you think you know everything already.

with all due respect, thats only youre opinion.

president bush might not have been perfect, but he was one of the best presidents of our century. the president doesnt control the economy or when terrorists strike, and if clinton or obama was in office from 2000-2008, we probably wouldnt be talking english after the attacks on america. they would have surrendered and let the terrorists win. bush didnt.

[jessicasimpson]

Chase, is this a joke or are you for real?
Please answer some questions
1 Are you old enough to vote?
2 Who was the best politician in your life time?
3 Are your political views the same as your parents and/or teachers?

[fencerchica]

Um... hello? A similar though less successful attack did occur during Clinton's administration, and I don't recall a rush to national surrender.

1993 World Trade Center Bombing

Also, with the support of the Clinton administration, the CIA, who were aware of the threat Bin Laden posed, developed a plan to assassinate him. Unfortunately, this plan was rejected by the Bush/Cheney administration shortly prior to the Sept. 11, 2001 attack.

yeah, except for bernie sanders and the obama administration.
