And the Wrong Words Make You Listen in this Criminal World
Mark Thoma, who supported (and probably voted for) the man during the primaries, is dumuch more gracious than I am:
A vague promise from Democrats about the future is all but worthless right now, we’ve had too many promises broken already. Obama’s promises in particular mean nothing.
The nicest thing I can do is describe this as BarryO’s “Only Nixon could go to China moment.” But that’s because that slimy cocksucker was willing to sell out two countries—Formosa and Tibet—so he could discuss panda sex with Margaret Trudeau.
Obama’s version is selling out Democrats and Middle-Class and Aspiring Middle-Class Americans. When the best hope is that Stan Collender is right that bending over and sucking off isn’t going to be good enough for House Republicans, it’s time for all you idiots who said no one should run against BarryO “from the left” to do the honorable thing and find your wakizashi and prepare four cups of sake. (I’m certain there will be plenty of kaishkunin volunteers to aid you in Doing the Right Thing.)
Democrats may still run someone against Obama from the left, though Timothy McVeigh is unavailable. But the attempt to destroy their political viability has been executed perfectly. Glad BarryO “plays eleven-dimensional chess” now?
Hillary conceded the nomnation and 2 days later Jason Furman was appointed to Obama’s team. Jason thinks Walmart has been good for the country.
I can’t help but think that we are so screwed.
there is no excuse for what obama has done. they’re his wars, his tax cuts for the rich, & his cuts to social security & medicare, as he outlined when he was elected:
Obama Pledges Reform of Social Security, Medicare Programs: “Friday, January 16, 2009 – President-elect Barack Obama pledged yesterday to shape a new Social Security and Medicare ‘bargain’ with the American people, saying that the nation’s long-term economic recovery cannot be attained unless the government finally gets control over its most costly entitlement programs.”
note he called them entitlement programs, as if people hadnt paid into them for 40 years…
the left was fooled by his skin color…he’s really a pawn for the plutocracy…mccain could have never pulled this crap on us…
Jim Cramer seconds ago:
“It is easier to cut nursing home spending than to stand up to Generals.”
Hillary in 2012.
Chiang and Formosa were NEVER worth defending, the aboriginals prefer the Japanese.
Tibet is the Lama’s issue.
The plutocracy using the anti New Deal Mc Carthyite militarist cabals were all for Chiang the inept facsist.
Obomber does own Afghanistan Iraq and the love of the war profitting plutocrats.
“Entitlement” is code for cuts to profit militarists……………………..
Plutocrats love him.
I don’t understand why the Republicans don’t welcome this guy with open arms. He’s a corporatist if there ever was one. And, militarist. And, imperialist. What’s not to like? Oh, well, that. But, you can’t have it all.
I thought he’d be safe. I didn’t think he’d do much at all and be attacked by liberals for doing nothing they wanted, the Republicans for doing nothing they wanted, and the RW’ers for failing to institute a theocracy. You know, go to Europe, Africa and Asia a lot and make empty promises in impressive speeches.
McCain was pretty much an unknown to me, but I put too much faith in intelligence. This President is smart, alright. Wrong smarts. McCain was dumb and therefore subject to manipulation. First thing you know, people will want Hilary. Too late. NancyO
Well I gave up on him in December when he cut the deal with McConnell, but the liberal elite stood by him and I am sure they will again. As I said in December, he would give Dumbya a run as the worst president ever and I fully expect that he will be a one term president. Unemployment will be over 10% a year from now and Mitch’s bitch will get no support from anyone other than the corporate folks. Even a nut like Bachmann will be even odds against him.
At least both Clintons have cajones. Obama should have stuck to his guns (does he have any?) and invoked the 14th amendment.
I was asked by an ex Saturday night if I would help canvas for OFA (The Obama Campaign). I replied that I would not, nor would BO receive my vote in 2012.
At this point I’m ready to support Bachmann or whoever the nut jobs nominate. If BO represents the opposition to these lunatics there’s no point. Put the worst possible candidate in office and let the whole corrupt facade collapse ASAP. Bring on the revolution, it can’t be worse than wars and secret prisons at the expense of schools, infrastructure and retirees.

I know it sounds crazy, but the whole dance was to preserve the illusion of democracy in action. The real ruler of this country… some kind of interstellar reptile beings according to a reliable source… find it easier to “govern” if the people believe there are fierce partisan fights over serious issues. The debt ceiling fight made the “last minute compromise” easier to swallow.
After the show these guys go have drinks together, paid for by the people who have the money.
I voted for Nader, at least he is honest in comparison to the other choices. I knew Obama would suck, and I cannot stand Mccain. I’d vote for an Ewok if one ran, at least they are cute.
