FIRST
Check out the time of post. 6:17am.
OBSESSIVE FAIL.
And for the record, it is 14:18 where I live atm
Though maybe this is also the case for the guy about… but maybe not? He did post ‘First’ after all o.O
it doesn’t matter what time it is where you are… it is what time it is where the post is.
nah, mine show up at crazy times, being +10 gmt
Reading fail.
That’s exactly what he said. It doesn’t matter what time it is where the poster lives, the time stamp is applied at the server level when the post is published.
ah apologies i thought ‘where the post is’ meant where it was being posted… understanding fail.
and your post time is 6:18… so… one minute later (give or take a few seconds) you were *right* there to complain about it… I smell *first* jealousy.
I thought that as well…
An airport code is a short code used to identify a specific airport. There are two international systems used:
* IATA airport code, a three-letter code which is more commonly known to the public
* ICAO airport code, a four-letter code which is more commonly used internationally
In the United States, Federal Aviation Administration airport codes generally mesh with those from IATA. Those airports that do not have either an IATA or ICAO airport code are given a Location Identifier, which often have mixed letters and numbers for small municipal or private airports.
Thanks! I didn’t know about the ICAO codes. I always use the IATA codes when booking travel.
But it does go out the other… all the time :0
It’s so sad when the little trolls don’t get the joke.
PLEASE don’t feed the troll!
*lets the troll starve*
Glad you told us what you’re up to there…
That was… that was a really stupid comment
Citation?
You see, the problem isn’t my own incapability of understanding the joke, but your incapability of understanding the comment. I was disagreeing with the statement.
Why?
Because I’m not a part of the Obama fan club. And I know what ur gunna say! “*gasp* You don’t praise the Prophet Obama!? FOR SHAME!”
But you see, that is what’s really cool about America… I don’t have to.
The troll, it wishes to feed. Look how it growls.
reliena, i am not an obummer fan either…. kudos for being awesome! i mean conservative… same difference
Look! The troll got so hungry it made up another imaginary friend… other than Jesus, I mean…
Heehee. Taunts trolls with plastic food. Teeheehee.
oops meant to put “*Taunts trolls with plastic food*”
The rampant use of “…” is a dead giveaway. Way to agree with yourself, young troll!
The poor thing must be so cold. Look, it’s only wearing one sock. Where’d the other one go?
Oh. Right. Got it.
It appears that it’s only trolling when someone bashes Obama. But it’s NOT trolling when YOU do it?
Interesting.
lol you’re welcome! It’s actually really fun seeing people on this site get all up in a hissy just because I said ONE negative comment against their “savior,” Obama.
It’s the internet you guys; expect being offended sometimes.
The troll…….THANKED itself. Wow. Just wow.
lol wow, because the troll “joke” sure is a testament to your own maturity/intellect. It’s okay if I’m right, you don’t have to throw a fit anymore.
Welcome to the intranets…
Actually it gets lost in the vast nothingness that’s in there and is unable to come out the other side. Unless it’s common sense… then it doesn’t even make it in there. It gets stopped at the door.
This is really pointless, and unfunny.
Can we please move on from “Obama = teh awsum!!!11!!!1″
You know, I voted for Obama and I don’t subscribe to the “He’s ruining our country” vision.
But I agree. Less Obama =awesum, more LOLs!
Ditto. I like him, but I don’t see the need for all of the so-called “lols” about how awesome (or crappy) he is. The last (and one of the only) funny Obama lols was the “Baraqua Man” one. At least that one had a clever play on words.
…unfanny…
Don’t be silly. If they moved on to reality, they’d have to admit their hero is destroying the economy by standing by like the jug-eared doofus he is while Pelosi and Reid spend more in one year than their arch-nemesis, the evil W, spent in 8.
Oh good, I was worried that the site was just devolving into flame war material. Phew, glad I don’t have to worry about THAT anymore.
It goes in one ear and out the same ear cuz there’s room for 2 way traffic
since all you Obama worshipers think communism is so wonderful, why don’t you just move to one of the many 3rd world shit holes that already are instead of creating a new one?
I was going to say “It goes in one ear and not out the other because whatever falls into a black hole never emerges” but that’ll do, too.
Cleverness fail, pettyness win.
You really can’t expect better from a known sock of one of the major fantastistes of the board…
It makes no difference to anyone if you think I’m a whatever, but I’ve GOT to know what a “major fantastistes” is.
The word is ungoogleable.
ungoogleable, however, is googleable.
LOL!
It’s nice to see that you’re proud of what you’re good at; being loudly ignorant. You really shouldn’t drag the grammatical errors of one id to another… it just gives the pointer to how seriously screwed up your mind is…
Why is the standard retort for “I like Obama” “You are a worshipper”? I don’t get it. Who said he was a prophet? I don’t get that either.
Also, there’s a difference between communism and socialism, I suggest you learn it before you start hurling your childish insults around.
And is Sweden a third world country? I was unaware…
Because, Charro, the people who make the ‘messiah’ style comments are pretty dull…
Oh..I see. So I still don’t get it, but thanks Fester, I feel validated.
People can only assume what they understand. And since the Obama-haters have a strong tendency to Christian Fundamentalism, they use to view leaders either as prophets or as false prophets. It’s impossible to make them grasp that one doesn’t share their deluded black-and-white view, because they cannot imagine how it could be different. Their judgements reveal more of themselves than of what is judged by them. So you better just accept them as a soul stripteases and don’t mistake them for fact-oriented statements.
And since the Obama-haters have a strong tendency to Christian Fundamentalism
Which I find highly ironic. If they are Christian Fundamentalists, then they should have absolutely NO PROBLEM WHATSOEVER with taking care of the “less fortunate” than themselves. It’s all over Scripture that the faithful are to do just this; care for the widow and the orphan and treat sojourners with justice. *sigh*
You’d think so.. You’d be wrong, but you’d think so.
People who claim to be Christian and then throw around the word Socialism as if it were an insult make me furious.

Matthew 19:21

“If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

JESUS WAS A SOCIALIST!!!
WIN!
Well, who do you think contributes to charity? The left? The problem for “Christian Fundamentalists” and everyone else who gives to private charity is that the tax increases down the road that will be required to pay for the insane spending Congress is pushing through at Obama’s behest will reduce the pool of money available for charitable giving -as well as for, say, investing, big ticket and durable goods purchases … you know, the things that drive our economy.
Oh, that’s right, you don’t know about economics. I forgot, you’re leftists.
Carry on.
So, charity is good, but if the government takes some of the tax money you paid to give to charitable causes, then it becomes bad?
-
You are helping those less fortunate whether you spend it or the government spends it, the money is going to charity either way, and you will be rewarded in heaven, shouldn’t that be a good thing?
You are assuming that government will always help the poor. There is no guarantee that will always be the case because that is not it’s function. Also, that there will always be enough working people to tax to help those “helpless” poor. The more you help some people, the more they end up needing help, we all know people like that. If you allow people to donate to the charities they want to donate to with a tax incentive, you are encouraging charities, not government. The bigger the government gets, the smaller the private sector and source of funding for the government. Then what?
There is very little difference between communism, socialism and fascism (Nazi = National SOCIALIST Party) There is a HUGE difference between what this country is and HAS BEEN for the last 232 years and any form of socialism. “Sweden has a very burdensome income tax rate and a moderate corporate tax rate. The top income tax rate is effectively 57 percent” So I can assume you DON’T WORK if you actually think this is something we should look forward to.
PS: People call them worshipers etc because of the cult like following of the most unqualified person ever elected to anything, ever by people who don’t pay taxes being told they would pay less than zero, AKA, more welfare.
“People call them worshipers etc because of the cult like following of the most unqualified person ever elected to anything, ever by people who don’t pay taxes being told they would pay less than zero, AKA, more welfare.”
What the hell is that supposed to mean? Besides the statement that you view George W. Bush as more qualified.
They were communists, that is a widely known fact. I can call myself the United Rainbow Emeritus Fascist Commie Dictatorship but use Socialism in stead of Communism or Fascism. Get a fu(cking clue!
Socialism and Communism are political theories. People can call themselves whatever they want, but employ other types of “rule”.
Twit
In eight years of Bush the average working American watched rising gas prices tighten already strained budgets in nearly every aspect of our society while oil companies who happened to be associated with our President rake in record profits.
The average working American has also known at least one person who has been injured or even killed in an illegal war that our President had to lie to us about to justify.
But yeah, I can see how we should be worried about the guy who wants to make sure we all have health care.
Way to condense it down to the least worrisome thing that happened during the Bush years, and the last thing in the world that scares people about Obama. Bravo.
She asked for things that directly effected the average working American.
Bush torturing people in his illegal prison was vastly horrible, but the average working American wasn’t in Gitmo. That, along with all the other crap pulled, may have been
mispost continued…
nationally embarrassing, disgustingly improper, and a terrible way to manage the country as a whole, but had very little direct effect on my life.
You can’t really draw a straight line from a blatantly corrupt justice department to anything in my life. There are degrees of seperation there.
The things that effected me personally were the war and the economy. And I don’t mean big banks that I never heard of before they went under. I mean having to double my weekly gas budget to get to work every day.
And really, why are people so worried about Obama’s spending? We’re not spending much more than we have in previous years. The only difference is that now we’re not pissing it all away in Iraq.
Look! A moron who thinks that the Socialist part of National Socialist was more than an name. It was corporatist, not socialist in any accepted use of the word. Basically both Reps and Dems have been corporatists, since before the civil war. It’s like the Australian Liberals (capitial L), who make the right wing of the Republicans look like libertines…
“There is very little difference between communism, socialism and fascism ”
*applauds*
The best retort to “there is a difference between communism and socialism” is to point out that there IS a difference!
*applauds*
Bravo good sir, bravo!!
Once again, there is a difference between communism and socialism. Perhaps you should actually read up on the theories, and not point out where they have failed. China = communist. U.S.S.R = communist. Nazi = fascist. Sweden = socialist. I’m sure they have an upside to that tax thing but Danbala isn’t here to point it out for me. Danbala? Fester probably knows too. I know more about socialism than Sweden (hark, doth mine ears hear and admittance of ignorance on the interwebs?), but I know Sweden is Socialist and most decidedly NOT Third World as you so delightfully pointed out.
WE’RE NOT SOCIALIST. But taking care of everyone in the country doesn’t sound like such a bad idea to me. OMG I’M A NAZI!!1!eleventy!
Twit.
“taking care of EVERYONE IN THE COUNTRY???” Who exactly is going to PAY for that?
Here’s an idea, how about everyone in the country takes care of THEMSELVES? That’s how we became what were soon to be…were.
Sweden also has the advantage of having a majority of people who actually WORK, we have about 50% who DON’T!
I said it wasn’t a bad IDEA you self centered twit.
You have a good idea too, but unfortunately not everyone CAN take care of themselves. I’m not talking about people who WON’T, I’m talking about people who CAN’T. Do those people not deserve a helping hand?
People SHOULD feel a MORAL OBLIGATION to help those LESS FORTUNATE. There are plenty of people who are trying (we call them the working poor) who could benefit from some more socialistic treatment. No system is perfect, certainly ours isn’t. I never said it was.
I just said you need to learn the difference between communism and socialism and taking care of everyone seems like not a bad idea. Do you think it’s not a nice idea? Do you think that everyone being taken care of is a bad idea?
Let me rephrase myself. “I think making sure everyone is taken care of in one way or another, whether it be by public aid or ensuring their high priced employer-based insurance is fair and equitable and serving their needs properly and that everyone who is working is paid a living wage is a nice idea”.
Maybe you should move to a third world sh!t hole for a while and see how you feel. My god you must be a horrible human being IRL.
Individuals should be responsible for helping each other, not the government. It’s just more efficient plus there is more of a hands on feeling to it, more of a sense of personal responsibility. Institutions like the government don’t always do a good job of helping, it’s too impersonal.
So it’s not the government’s duty to create public programs for those less fortunate and who need aid? It’s not their job to make sure these programs are funded? It’s not the government’s job to make sure its people are taken care of?
Isn’t the government made up of individuals?
Historically no, the governments purpose is for our protection, that means militarily and by regulations. Having a safety net is nice, but we shouldn’t get carried away. Yes, it’s made up of individuals, but mostly self serving individuals. Family, friends and close community should be responsible for those that slip through the cracks and need help. There aren’t as many of those as you might think. If there is none of that available then the federal government should be the last resort IMHO.
Couldn’t protection also be construed as protecting the population from things such as poverty, little or no medical care, and provide food shelter and the other basics? That to me is what protection should be about. The better off a population is (in theory) the better off the country as a whole is, and even the individuals in the government, as well as the entity would also be better.
I’m talking about Federal Funding here. If my taxes only go to military and laws/enforcement, I think it’s a piss poor way for my taxes to be spent. No, I am not anti military or police. I just think since they are MY taxes they should go to things I care about which INCLUDES programs such as Medicaid, things like food stamps and cash assistance etc. We would have nothing to protect and no one to fight for if we don’t have the pool to draw from and federally funding programs like these can help get people back on their feet doing… guess what? Paying taxes! For military and regulations!
Yes. I believe the federal government should be responsible for funding these programs with our tax monies. The state, county, and city governments all should be as well. The people who really need these things will tell you that what they receive is barely liveable. I myself am on unemployment and am barely making it. It comes down to “pay this bill or eat this month”. Yeah I know unemployment is different, but I’m not among the working class right now and can tell you it fu(cking sucks and I’m waaaaay more well to do on my unemployment than a lot of people on welfare and receiving food stamps and cash assistance. I wouldn’t be able to pay all my bills if I wasn’t on unemployment and had no job. And I’m already filing bankruptcy. So, that’s not an option to get rid of the bills.
/end rant
To respond to your opinion, I think the government’s job should be to assure the people are taken care of. Not take care of the people, make sure that there ARE these programs, make sure they provide the necessities the community needs and make sure the state and local governments meet a certain standard. There should also be federal funding for these programs as well as for things like education and so forth. Unfortunately, in this country, if we leave it up to the citizens to take care of eachother, we would be a 4th world wasteland in less than a year. No one wants to help anyone else. Well, the few that do can’t do enough. So, until the American mentality changes, yes. The federal government should be involved. IMHO.
And of course, it goes right to the money. It’s a bad idea because we can’t afford it. NEXT! Whose pocket will it come from?! Oh noes!!
Think with something besides your wallet.
Well, we do have to be careful about spending, we don’t have a limitless supply. Someone has to be responsible.
No Mo Bama – everyone in the country can’t always take care of themselves. My brother, age 54, swallowed a penny when he was 2. It cut off the air to his brain long enough to cause brain damage. As part of the US social safety net, my dad was able to get him signed up for Social Security Disability when he reached age 18 (my brother, not my dad…). He lives in one of my husband’s and my rental houses, has enough income to pay for rent (sorry, we have to charge him rent since the bank wouldn’t give us the house for free…), food, utilities, the occasional hair cut/beard trim under protest, new clothes when needed and a new or repaired bicycle every now and again. He is a family project – my sister, other brother and I monitor him and make sure he cleans his house and changes the sheets on his bed to get his allowance every week. He is mentally incapable of working, although with a LOT of family monitoring we can get him to do basic chores and help with clean-up projects. Without the social safety net of US Social Security Disability and family with the time, love and ability to keep an eye on him, he’d be one of the legions of sad little men living under bridges and highway overpasses.
I don’t mind some of my tax dollars going towards that sort of help. I DO mind that greedy-ass corporations lie and cheat in order to not pay taxes on their REAL corporate income, after hiding income overseas or off shore or whatnot. The tiny bit of tax money spent on my brother and people like him is dwarfed by the mountains of taxes due that have not been collected from tax cheats.
Thank you for saying what I couldn’t, PC. Your story is very touching.
I don’t mind my tax dollars doing that either. And blaming the system because people abuse it does nothing.
I have a friend who lives in disability housing and uses ‘the ride’–public transport for the disabled. She has multiple sclerosis, and can’t work a full week, climb a flight of stairs, or drive. But given accessible housing and help getting to work, after 12 years with this disease she still works 4 days a week, earning a modest income and health insurance, and pays taxes. Without that assistance she would have had to move back with her parents in a rural town (you can’t afford rent in this city on a partial salary–and almost all non-luxury apartments have stairs), and given up her white-collar job. I’m willing to pay taxes so that folks don’t have to needlessly give up a meaningful and participatory life.
But yes, nail those tax cheats–which means properly funding the IRS!
(and while we’re at it, fund OSHA and the EPA)
Yes! Fund the organizations that do something not the ones who cheat and embezzle and pay millions in bonuses for people who need multi thousand dollar italian suits and multi million dollar homes!
That’s crazy talk.
No, that’s my brother. Crazy Talk
But he sold me this firecracker…
Simpson’s FTW!
Excellent use of human-shield there.
The fact that there are SOME genuinely needy people out there doesn’t disprove that there are MANY people gaming the system. I know more than a few people who are 100% able and employable, but choose instead to engage in their hobbies (like being on the net 24/7), activism, or working under the table, while their children go uninsured.
The difference between the U.S. and countries like Sweden and Canada where socialism (or statism, collectivism, or wherever else you care to split that hair) has yet to completely implode, is the entitlement mentality. Very little there, too much here.
Don’t blame the system because it is abused. Should we just axe it because people abuse it? How is that fair to those who need it? Is it their fault that people abuse it? No system is perfect. You think there aren’t gamers in Canada and Sweden? Because if you do you are wrong.
Also, I like how you point out that it’s “people” that is what is wrong with the system, yet show no way to fix the sense of entitlement Americans have. Excellent use of pointing fingers and shouting fire in a movie theatre.
Worker – I don’t disagree that there are some in the US who are gaming the system, and that there are some in the US with an entitlement mentality. So why not give constructive ideas on how to reduce gaming the system? Why not posit ideas on how to fine-tune the system so it is less vulnerable to gamers?
And the fact that viking gal and I know actual humans who need the social safety net isn’t an “excellent use of human-shield” it’s excellent use of knowing actual human beings instead of relying on right wing talking points.
The system the U.S. was built on was free-market capitalism and individual rights, not the socialist/statist/collectivist tripe started by FDR, and now blown out of completely proportion by The One.
Instead of trying to axe the free-market capitalist individual rights system that built this country, and replace it with with the socialist system that has failed or is failing everywhere, how about fine-tuning it and fixing the sense of entitlement by, oh let’s say, . . . getting a job and paying your own way?
Sorry, I forgot I needed to explain that part.
As for the strawman about my thinking there aren’t gamers in Canada and Sweden, let me say it reallllyyy ssslllooowww for you. “Very little there” means few, less, a minority percentage, it doesn’t mean that there are none at all. “Too much here,” means too many, more than half of voters, more than just “some” gamers.
I suppose my fund raising and hands on support of Special Olympics doesn’t qualify me as knowing “actual” people who rely on the safety net, and paying for the flu shots for children of acquaintances who are gaming the system doesn’t qualify me as knowing “actual” people who are gaming the system, but at least I don’t have to rely on projection about others relying on talking points.
No one said anything about replacing the system we had. I simply noted that the country could benefit from more socialistic programs like in Sweden. Also, I would like to see a cite that the Socialist countries are failing.
Do you really think that just telling everyone to “Get a job” is going to work? Axing the system so people HAVE to work is going to put people who CAN’T work out on the street. Despite what you obviously think, not everyone on welfare or SSD can work, just chooses not to. Those people are fu(ked just because the majority says “I work, everyone else needs to too”. That won’t work.
Also, feel free to provide examples as to how we can “Fine tune” the system, or how to fix the sense of entitlement that Americans have. LSD in the water? Isn’t that a little fascist?
“As for the strawman about my thinking there aren’t gamers in Canada and Sweden, let me say it reallllyyy ssslllooowww for you. “Very little there” means few, less, a minority percentage, it doesn’t mean that there are none at all. “Too much here,” means too many, more than half of voters, more than just “some” gamers.”
You cannot blame the system because people abuse it. People will ALWAYS abuse a system if they can. You can make things more or less stringent, you can make up new regulations, make people jump through more hoops, change the way things work, people will still abuse it. Please cite where 50% of voters are gaming the U.S. system. Or any cite on how many people here game the system.
What needs to be done is to change people’s mentality. So unless you have a way to do that, your comparison between us and the Swedes is completely irrelevant. It just shows more of them are more enlightened and don’t see the need to “game” their system. Let me say that verrrrryyy sllllooooowwwlllyyyyy… If there is one person abusing the system, that means it’s being abused. One is too many. And, by your own admittance, they game the system there so their system obviously isn’t foolproof either, but none is.
So you’re saying that we should axe the system because some people are gaming it?
Yes DWN. The needs of the few outweigh the needs of the many. @@
Spock would be SO disappointed.
Yes, he would.
As long as those few are rich…
Damn, all because of a penny…
kind of makes your realise just how dramatic a change your life could go through via something so miniscule.
reminds me of that chaos theory or butterfly effect or whatever it was called.. if someone hadn’t thought so little of a penny, would they have left it out for the child to hold? merely moving it one foot one way or another may have made it so the child didn’t get it.. where would he be today.
pcflamingo, I’m sorry to hear the story btw. tragic what happened to your brother and it’s kind what you’re doing.
people such as No-Mo-Bama want to bring up issues in a manner like they actually know what they’re talking about when what it really, ultimately, comes down to is an ignorance of what’s going on in the world and them being upset because it’s what they’re told to do by their right-winged pastor or priest or foxNews. The truth doesn’t matter so much if you can replace it with aggression, it seems. Fortunately, these bigots and idiots will ultimately breed themselves out through the course of natural selection (ironic, since most of them don’t believe in that either).
Just makes me glad that I am paranoid about what my kids play with.
50%?
Unemployment is extremely high right now. It is nearly 10% in the WORST areas.
Sweden also has the advantage of having a majority of people who actually WORK, we have about 50% who DON’T!”
Do you have a source for this terribly convenient round-number “statistic,” or did you pull it out of your arse with the rest of your argument?
The Wang is saddened by your complete lack of grasping history and political sciences.
If I took a dung pile and labelled it Cheese, would you believe it was cheese because of the label or would you realize that a name is just a name and not always a definition of content?
I’m sick of being called a freaking ‘Obamanite’ or ‘Obama worshipper’. And I’m sick of Obama being called the prophet, jesus, and any other sick thing stupid right-winged morons can come up with. Because people that like Obama have never said that he is any of those things.
He’s just a president. There’s been like 43 before him. Him have unimaginable charisma is not his fault.
I’m sure if the republican side ever got someone like that, everyone on the left-side would be calling him that mesiah.
Too bad you don’t have someone like that.
Good.
Now, if you wouldn’t mind, could you go something about the rest of the 52% — you know, the ones wearing shitty Obama hats and shirts from Walgreens, the ones who think Barry’s gonna buy their house and pay for their car?
Barry White?
Suburbs?
Suburbs are going to buy me a car?!
I’m already living in a 3rd world shit hole. Whoops, sorry, I mean Missouri. Eh, same thing really.
Does your mother know you’re using her computer? She’s gonna be mad when she sees what a potty mouth you are.
I already live in one of those 3rd world sh!tholes. It’s called Missouri. *cue badump-bump*
Oops. I thought PK had eaten my other comment, but now I see two. I’m a moron. My apologies.
There there Eric. It’s ok, we’ve all done that.
OK. Stick a fork in this site. It’s done. It is now so one sided that true satire is dead.
Do you guys who get boners over the mere sight of Obama need to rub one out every time? Do you get those alleged 4 hour erections that the Viagra commercials “warn” about?
I know, right? W T F ?
This hero worship crap is just getting creepy-obsessive.
Hehe, its not hero worship its retaliation.
It’s not hero worship. It’s relief.
Yeah, I look at my share of the national debt, the unemployment rate, Russian SAM sales, and charts of pirate activity, and I feel nothing but relief.
Yeah, ‘cos Obama invented all of those things. Retard. Sheesh.
*pulls out the 30 lb. bag of Troll Chow*
And he’s working to make them all better, right, smooth-brain?
You mean like Bush fixed the middle east, and did so much to remedy the piracy off East Africa, while shrinking the deficit and ushering in a period of unheard of prosperity and comfort that Obama has destroyed in his first 100 days?
Really Black Flag, you should stop huffing lighter fluid. It’s rotting your already shiny cortex…
Oooh, did someone say lighter fluid?
Really, if you’re going to grace this discussion with your unique brand of shite, at least have the decency to use an original insult.
LOL, and just what part of “huffing lighter fluid. It’s rotting your already shiny cortex…” do you find unoriginal?
Retaliation for what? Most of the folks I know who are sick of the Obama worship *hated* Bush. NO politician should *ever* be trusted or ass kissed like this. ALWAYS keep a skeptical eye on them.
If you think Obama is the first to be ‘hero worshipped’, your sadly mistaken. Jump in the way back machine and dial in any date between 1961 and 1963. My suggestion would be to let the people who support Obama have their day. I certainly don’t begrudge them for being happy the man is in office, after all, ‘our guy’ didn’t exactly do a bang up job the last 8 years. So, even though I didn’t vote for Obama, I can certainly appreciate why those who voted for him are ecstatic.
People still claim that JFK’s farts smelled of cinnamon even now… Same as it ever was.
And worshipping JFK is equally stupid, then and now. Your point?
Never understood that sort of argument. People are doing dumb thing X, but these other people over here did dumb thing X as well. OK. And?????
Hmm, must be a namesake of some kind …
you’d best ring O’Reilly to find out about the Viagra claims… although why he returned to the country carrying a box with some other guy’s name on it makes one wonder… IIRC it was a guy called Tumnus…
Not that it matters much, but I believe that was Rush Limbaugh.
and the script was in his doctors name….what i’d like to know is why he had to have so much viagra in his doc’s name coming back from a country known for its high level of prostitution, specifically male and children…. or maybe i don’t want to know, but why isn’t anyone else asking that of the great white moby dick?
Ya see George?
No, we can’t see George. Can you?
I see Bi-Curious George…
Hey what happened to our tax cut? I guess not everything stays in there…
We’re still in Bush’s last fiscal year. If you’ll notice, the income tax forms have “2008″ written across the top…
Money bills originate in the House of Representatives, which has been under the control of the Democrats since January 2007. The President can make suggestions, but that’s all. Or would you like to tell me Nancy Pelosi enacted the Bush budget as a courtesy to W?
The 2008 budget was crafted by Democrats, with next to no Republican input. Same goes for the 2009 budget.
At some point, Democrats simply have to strap on some truth and take responsibility for their actions.
And there’s another right-wing lie. Did you fail to notice all the emergency appropriations bills that went through in the past year? You know, the ones that had to be passed or the government would shut down? That’s because the Senate wouldn’t pass Democratic budget proposals (more filibusters in the past two years than in any ten year stretch in previous history).
That’s the essential stupidity of any GOOPer claim that the Democrats have had control through Congress since the 2006 midterms. In fact Congress wasn’t able to do anything the administration didn’t want, because the Senate was essentially tied and the Republicans filibustered anything that didn’t have the Bush Seal of Approval.
while youre correct in the math that there were more filibusters in 2008 I dont believe that you are correct in your assumption as to why. There are ideological differences between the parties and since the democrats didnt get a filibuster proof majority in 06 and tried to pass things that the republicans didnt agree with they filibustered everything they could. Just like the democrats did during bush’s first term (though not as many) for his supreme court nominees and his budgets. Its politics as usual on both sides. Now that the democrats have an almost veto proof majority in the senate they have but to convince 2 or 3 republicans to vote with them and shut down any filibuster or pass any legislation. Thats not a good thing because they can also suspend the debate on the bill and pass it without reading it. Sort of a double edged sword really.
How about you strap on a little reality, like Bush’s ability to sustain a veto over whatever came through, for starters? Congress was under great pressure (dismally low approval ratings) to produce something that Bush would sign. Otherwise, the “do nothing” criticism would escalate. You’re trying to paint a picture of that which didn’t exist.
If you’ll notice, my statement was in response to “What happened to our tax cut?” I was pointing out the fact that Obama’s fiscal year doesn’t begin until the fall, and the changes in FIT won’t be widely realized until next year’s filings.
This all goes to my prediction that the GOP partisans would expect the messes cleaned up in a grossly unrealistic time frame, and I haven’t been disappointed.
You’re exactly right that there was pressure to produce legislation that Bush would sign. But isnt that what you (as in you in the general sense of the word meaning the country) want? Making the two parties work together to put forth legislation that is agreeable to both sides?
I would also like to agree with your last statement that people are expecting the economy to snap back in a week and that wont happen. In a year maybe but not a week or a month or 3 months. The real problem that a lot of the GOP have with the Obama administration is that they are spending even more than bush did and now hes fired a CEO of a private company and yesterday they were talking about the fed taking over the 19 biggest banks in the country by changing the preferred stock they got from the tarp funds to normal stock and a controlling share in the company. That really scares a lot of people especially those on the right who are looking for smaller government and more personal responsibility. If you want bigger government then thats your right to vote that way just understand that there are other people who think the exact opposite as you do. Nothing wrong with a healthy disagreement though.
was referring to the 400 dollar tax credit that we all started receiving on april 1st. I called the IRS and they told me that the tax rates havent changed. So unless they change the tax rates by dec 31st (which I hope to god they do) everyone will owe an additional 400 dollars on april 15th 2010.
Just across the news today they are talking about cutting the middle class tax cut out of the budget to fund their national health care. Still glad you drank the kool aid!?
Yeah, except all the promises you made to us Americans and all those chants of people hating us despite the fact you’re our new ‘hope’…blech, I guess when you can ‘speak’ with a teleprompter, everything sounds sweat
Ew, you must be one of the people in my town that sells sweat corn.
Ewwwww I vow to never use a teleprompter. I don’t need my words tasting like sweat.
What does he mean “it” goes in one ear and not out the other? His finger? This one’s a bit of a stretch for humor. But, it’s a picture of Obama so that’s all that’s really necessary for a + vote on this site.
*sigh*
Look, I’m a big Obama supporter, and I find the Obama Love LOL’s so boring and annoying that I fail every one of them. We’re not all like that, you know. In fact, I very rarely see anybody like that in the comments section. Even we liberals are most objective than that. And have a better sense of humor.
“I won.”
It doesn’t even go in one of his big ass ears!
“One of the keys to being seen as a great leader is to be seen as a commander-in-chief….My father had all this political capital built up when he drove the Iraqis out of Kuwait and he wasted it….If I have a chance to invade…, if I had that much capital, I’m not going to waste it.” remarks made by Bush to author and Houston Chronicle journalist Mickey Herskowitz, who met GWB many times in 1999, to write a biography.
“You asked, do I feel free. Let me put it to you this way: I earned capital in the campaign, political capital, and now I intend to spend it. It is my style. That’s what happened in the — after the 2000 election, I earned some capital. I’ve earned capital in this election — and I’m going to spend it for what I told the people I’d spend it on, which is — you’ve heard the agenda: Social Security and tax reform, moving this economy forward, education, fighting and winning the war on terror.” –GWB
It’s all about Bush, right? Anyone who disagrees with Obama must love Bush and therefore any suggestion that Bush was just another politician must therefore negate the argument. You’re such an idiot.
Election != mandate. I don’t care who does it. And I assume it’s fruitless to even try to explain to you how political capital is different than an assumed mandate, so let’s just leave it at that.
You’re an idiot.
I talk to the grown-ups, as I’ve already told you. I don’t want to waste time answering to your fallacies, which are numerous enough to warrant you the title “deliberately ignorant.”
Oh, sorry. “Deliberation” would mean you had thoughts. “Willfully ignorant” is as far up as you have climbed, considering your prowess at assumption, and your need to use straw men to make a point in your head.
All politicians to that to some degree. In fact, all people do this to some degree. It’s called “forgetting” and it happens. Just because G. Bush was kind of a crappy president in his second term doesn’t mean that he was stupid.
KIND of a crappy president in his SECOND term? He was a disaster for all 8 years!
And yes, he was and is stupid.
Except for the war on terror, he was a terrible president. More of a Blue Dog Dem than a republican.
I’m a republican, and the only reason I voted for him twice was the opponents the Dems put up against him.
And as for being stupid, he’s not, and never was. He IS stunningly inarticulate, though.
The problem is that we’ve elected an empty suit simply because he is articulate, and handsome. The problem is, that articulate and handsome will not get the job done.
Well stated… If only Bush could have reigned in spending and worked on his communication skills, he would have been a wonderful president. I think he was just getting tired of it at the end, he had more than his share of problems.
He might not be the world’s stupidest person, but I would hope the so-called leader of the free world would be better than average. That’s the best W. could ever say about himself. And calling him “kind of a crappy president” is like saying Katrina was kind of a crappy thunderstorm.
I’ll say. Way to fail at being a thunderstorm Katrina!
except when thousands of people gather peacefully across the country to make it know that they disagree with certain legislation and he claims to know nothing about it on national television.
In all fairness, he might not. His protective entourage is impressively thick, and just look at how the protests got played out in the mainstream media.
I suspect that if he truly wasn’t told about it that he’s got a new entourage.
Especially seeing how someone lobbed a large box of tea over the White House fence, causing a bomb scare.
But that’s the point — it filters up as “small number of racists who don’t like you, O Great One” as opposed to “large bipartisan number of people who think your and Bush’s spending sucks”.
But to not know about something that was a direct security threat (valid or not) is a little too far for that. For me, that solidifies my opinion that he’s lying when he said not having heard of it. I can’t imagine no-one telling him that a bomb may have been thrown into his (leased) yard.
To ponder why he’d lie about it, maybe no one there thought it’d be big enough to have him asked and he didn’t have a statement prepared. Not wanting to piss anyone off, the best option is to claim ignorance.
‘course if I were the newscaster, I’d provide the run down and ask again.
It’s nice to see he’s in touch with the American people huh?
O, is for the only news lately
B, is for we’re beyond history
A, is for amazing that though the election’s over–we’re, still drooling, oh oh!
M, is for maybe we should see he’s a man…
A is for amazing–what a plan!
ETA: to the tune of ‘L is for the way…’ lyrics
…”Invest in a tuba
And somethin’ or other ’bout Cuba.
He sung about a lady
Who weighed two hundred and eighty.
When she takes a powder,
he just starts chirping louder
And he don’t do a goldarned thing
‘cept to stand up there and sing.”…
I wonder what he’s picking up with those things. Maybe he’s channel-surfing.
*snicker*
Well my father had similarly-sized sound collectors…and he still was great at being ‘unable to hear’ anything which might require him to participate in house work!
I had to learn that talent all on my own, still not that good at it. I blame being fatherless though I did pick up a few hints from the idiot that was my stepfather.
It may not go in his ear and out the other, but everything he says goes in my ear and out the other.
What did you say? I’m sorry I wasn’t paying attention
This is off topic, but does anyone else find it absurdly hilarious that there are SarahPAC ads all over this place and there are so few Sarah Palin supporters on this site? I do.
They apparently haven’t heard of target marketing. They must be fans of carpet-bomb marketing.
Internet marketers are dumber than a box of rocks. Criticize Palin here and a SarahPAC ad appears. Criticize Obama on a right wing site and an Obama-related ad appears.
These ads show the limits of computer programming. Without a thoughtful approach, their scripts do little but amuse, or annoy.
The funniest I ever saw were adverts for the relaxing sounds of the ocean on articles about devastating tsunamis.
I’m glad Obama’s listening to at least some ideas of his political opponents, and is standing up to the extremists in his own party.
Oh wait. No he’s not.
Unfortunately he is – otherwise your boys Cheney, Rumsfeld, Bybee, Gonzalez and a few others would be sleeping in steel cribs tonight!
Not
…He plugs one ear…that is how he keeps other people’s words in his head…
OIC. It’s a variation on “Bush is Dumb”. That’s a good one, you kind of have to look at how Bush’s lack of intelligence is totally unmentioned; only the opposite traits are. Kind of like that picture that’s simultaneously an old crone and a beautiful young woman.
…cue Kenny Loggins’ “Danger Zone”…
…”Until you get it on the red line overload,
Cummin’ to a television near to you”…
…stare into his nostrils and have a ‘mammy’ moment…
And THIS is why people wanted George Bush out and somebody else in.
Like he was gonna stay?
Unless something’s changed recently, there’s still the two term limit.
Actually, Chairman O is sooooo open-minded, that his brains fell out long ago. You try to tell him something logical and based on fact and it does go straight in one ear and out the other.
To stop the whistling of the air through the empty expanse of skull, he has to plug one ear to stop the noise in his head.
…hmmm, hmmm, I see…hmmm, you have a point…
nope, he’s demonstrating that he doesn’t have an earpeice and isn’t being fed his lines from cheney behind the curtain
…ohhh, ohhh, I see…ohhh, you have a point…
acctually the process is it goes in one ear and then he spends another trillion dollars on pointless shit that wont help the country
Back to the post… “Doesn’t go out one ear,” is correct, but it does just build up and jumble to a point where he starts calling veterans right wing activists.
Cheers to a happy, new America! You wanted change, you got it
…”You were happy?…Well, that’s changed too!…aiight?”…
…”Racist!!!”…
…”Whiteman!!!”…
…”Thank you for your time.”…
Obama wrote that report? He did it really, really quickly. Almost like it was started during the previous adminstration.
…conjecture…
…inadmissible…
But his understanding of Constitutional Law ….that went out the other ear.
Then again, a President hasn’t abided by the Constitution in a looong time.
Ha! That sure made me laugh!
I’m getting really sick of all the Obama worshippers on this site…
In reference to the ACTUAL caption above, and not all the ranting and troll ramblings, the reason it “goes in one ear and not out the other” is all the crap between his ears.
FAILURE ON MANY EPIC LEVELS
Would be funnier if the caption said “FAIL”. Cause that’s what this guy is. So much for “hope and change”
this should be on failblog.
Insert finger in ear, manually engage brain !
Right.. because, clearly Obama listens to the people’s voice and feelings on his chief administrative goal of national health care. He also witnessed personally in Washington the crowds marching on 9/12. Yeah, Obama hears the people and it sticks..
Thank you for using it in a sentence… lol!
Hmmm, maybe that’s what goes in one ear and out the other…
That’d surely be a hell of a trickshot.
EW
…Eventually he’ll be in a position where he has to walk into world summits with head tilted completely to the right…
…go figgur…
