    Time to start a flame war here:

    Obama does not have any thoughts other than, “Oh yay, communism!”

    There, that should do it.

    Thoughts of how to increase the deficit by trillions.

      Timely quote from Bob Cesca:
      `
      “I can’t recall, for example, this degree of nipple-twisting about spending and fiscal responsibility when the Bush administration was pitching a blank check invasion and occupation of Iraq on the heels of invading Afghanistan — all during a recession — while also passing a $1 trillion tax cut for the wealthiest one percent the year before.

      Yet affordable, accessible health care for everyone is a bridge too far, right?”

    Oh please stop sickening us with your mindless adoration of The One. His “thoughts” have landed us with the greatest deficit in US history. We are spending our way to disaster. It’s the credulous stupidity of people like you, and the adoring press, who mindlessly bought into the empty promises of “hope” and “change” from a Chicago political huckster that put him in a position where he is doing great harm to the economy, to the country, and to the individual liberties that most Americans value. President Obama DOES NOT KNOW what he’s doing. He’s making it up as he goes along and using thug politics, scare mongering, and lies to get his way before the public figures out that he’s just fumbling along trying to implement the socialist/marxist template he learned in college before he became a community agitator. And don’t respond with some knee-jerk criticism of Bush. Two wrongs don’t make a right. Whatever you can fault Bush for doesn’t mean that Obama has any better or deeper thoughts. And besides, it’s Obama’s teleprompter that has the thoughts; turn that thing off and The One just stammers…

            Just listen to him anytime he is asked a truly off the cuff question. Not a seeded question that is given to someone to ask him… one that is truly off the cuff. He can barely get two words out together. And it’s not the ‘let me put my thoughts in order’ type of stuttering. It’s being truly lost without any original ideas. I’m not saying it to be mean or divisive…I’ve seen him do it over and over again. He only speaks well when he has been prepared by his handlers.

            I have to agree with specledtrout about the stuttering but I do not think it is because he is truly lost without any original ideas. I think it is because with todays media he is being very very careful about what he says as any misstep these days turns into a 24 hour news sound bite. I don’t think Obama is stupid. I think he has done a wonderful job of pushing his agenda forward. I just believe it is totally in the wrong direction and is harming the country and the future generations.

              His “off the cuff” remark about the Gates thing is a seriously huge mark against him speaking without thinking. The sad thing is that Gibbs said they expected the question and drilled Obama on it earlier, and he STILL managed to come off as allowing racially charged and personal situations influence his public life and job. He really needs to stick to the teleprompter, and in cases where he doesn’t have all the facts (his words, verbatum), he needs to recuse himself from even commenting on the question, ESPECIALLY if it involves a personal friend.
              -
              Aside from that, I really think that his stuttering comes from the same place that Palin’s does: When he’s not giving gut answers from the heart (mixed metaphors, I know!), he has to think about what he’s been told to say, and it comes off stuttery and disengenuous. When he’s speaking about things he really believes in or has a lot of experience with, he’s a much better speaker without the help of the TOTUS.

        The needle on the Puerile-o-Meter is way off into the red.

        OK, my comment was a bit churlish. Normally I just take the “omygodomygodomygoddontyoujustlooooveobamaomygogomygodomygod” postings in stride. Every one has their god–little tin or otherwise–to worship and I’m all for freedom of religion. Today was the straw that broke the camel’s back.

        Uncritical acclamation of political figures is pretty dangerous in a democracy. It’s downright unsettling when the one acclaimed is obviously a fraud, but nevertheless gets imbued by his sycophants with near-miraculous levels of intelligence, superhuman achievments, boundless charm, etc. I’ve endured Al Gore being called smart, John Kerry being called charming, and John Edwards cited as having a soul. I even survived hearing Ted Kennedy lionized as “great” (R.I.P. Mary Jo Kopechne). I guess I should have been stronger. Still, watching Obama supporters cast him in a messianic light during the campaign made my flesh creep. It got even creepier seeing the candidate himself revel in that characterization. This is a little man in big shoes.

        When a politician with an overly-high opinion of himself is given carte blanche by the electorate and lauded as a saviour, bad things happen to the country.

        I haven’t heard anyone called “ass munch” since fourth grade, which is a good indication of the intellectual acumen of too many of the posters here. I come to “I can has cheezburger” because I like cats; wandering into Lol News is probably a mistake (“Never get off the boat, man”).

        The tragedy of the American left isn’t that it has bad ideas (the Democratic party has at one time or another supported eugenics, fascism, segregation, slavery, jim crow, abortion on demand, socialism, communism, euthanasia, the KKK, seccesion, civil war, and treason); the tragedy is that its adherents are so wrapped up in their own sense of goodness and enlightenment that they see anyone who threatens their illusion as evil and react by throwing fits like spoiled children. You don’t have to take anyone’s criticisms seriously when you just know they’re a poopy-head.

          Damn straight. I would very much like to see the press, in particular, take a more critical view of the current administration.

          I think one of the problems here, though, is that you come in blind and assume everyone’s going to disagree with you, or at least I’m assuming that from the direction of your first post at the general “you”; it’s very antagonistic. I’m glad to see that you came back to argue and/or discuss, though! For a little while there I thought you were one of those one-off post-and-run types, which is really annoying.

          Just so you know, due to massive party switching throughout the 19th century, talking about what the Democratic party “believed” prior to ~WWII means absolutely nothing vis-a-vis the current party. And (with the possible exception of communism) conservatives, as a whole, have also supported most of your laundry list of “evil things”.

      You were clearly born this year. If you were alive last year you would have noticed that the economy was in a horrible state before Obama was elected because Bush was just idle. That’s why you like him more, because he made you feel safe because he didn’t acknowledge that anything was wrong. Maybe Obama isn’t doing the best job possible, but no one really knows what that is, and he’s trying. You epically fail and have no intelligence.

        If Bush was just idle then how did he do anything to make the economy worse? He was not idle. He agreed to give out a butt load of TARP money to banks without any accountablility to where the money went and what it was spent on. That was as stupid as the stimulus plan. To suggest that “he’s trying” is an excuse for how things are going down right now is stupid. I hope if I ever have to get surgery my surgeon isn’t just “trying’ to make me get better. People who get elected into office by the people should be at least qualified to do the job (that includes all of the congress on both sides that are screwing everything up as well). There is no perfect system and there never will be. I think a little common sense should prevail on both sides. Rich people should pay more to help out the society than those without the means to do so; however, there is a limit. Trying to make everyone equal monitarily will never work. Ok..so much for opposite day…damn

        one more thing “he made you feel safe because he didn’t acknowledge that anything was wrong” If I recall, Bush in his first term tried to address the social security problem and the lack of oversite on Freddie and Fannie.

        Scaremongering is not a sober acknowledgment that something is wrong. Depending on the day, the Obama administration will tell you that the recession is over, the recession is almost over, the recession is worse than we thought, there will be more jobs tomorrow, there will be no jobs tomorrow–or the next day, etc. On every day, they will tell you it’s all Bush’s fault. Not taking responsibility is not doing the best job possible.

        The economy goes up and the ecomony goes down. Economies have done this throughout the history of human civilization. Economies that have a free market recover on their own; it’s part of the genius of a free-market system. Government tinkering usually slows a recovery or retards it. The New Deal kept the country in a depression for years.

        The current economic situation is the compounded effect of a collapsed housing bubble and the colateral damage that caused. The unrestrained policies of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac created a bubble wherein people who couldn’t afford houses were buying houses with government help in the form of easy-term loans that were partly coerced and partly enticed from banks. Because people were buying more and more houses, builders were building more and more houses. The loans for buyers and the loans for builders amounted to a huge strain on the financial system. When buyers started defualting, home sales slumped, and builders were left in debt for houses that were only partially built and unsold. Banks had huge amounts of debt for loans they now couldn’t recover. Collapse.

        You’re simply ignorant when you say that Bush did nothing. He put through TARP, which was a bad idea. The market should have been left to adjust itself. Failed companies would have collapsed and successful companies would have bought up their assets and made things work. It’s always worked that way. Nothing is to big to fail.

        Obama’s 787 billion dollar stimulus bill was rushed through congress and passed without being read by anyone who voted for it. We deserve better of our elected officials. So far, no stimulus has been accomplished and we’re nearly a trillion dollars in the hole. Now the Obama administraton is talking about another stimulus bill. And so it goes. Generations yet unborn will be financing this debt. Even I who have no intelligence can see that that’s not a good thing.

        The Obama administration has been trying to keep the country in crisis mode as a means to achieving the continued takeover of the private sector, something that’s been the apple of the left’s eye since Marx and Engels. The US government owns Chrystler and GM. The US Government has deepened the hooks it has already sunk into the financial sector. It’s only getting started.

        While I appreciate your gratis psychoanalysis of me (or was it just gratuitous?), I think it’s you who is refusing to acknowledge that anything is wrong. The American dream is about freedom and opportunity, both of which are constantly being chipped away by big government. The Obama administration is doing its very best to get as much government control as it can milk from the current crisis. Jobs keep going away, Wall Street is tepid, businesses are contracting. The policies of this administration will not make the situation better. Nor will childishly insulting me.

        I am the only likely victim of my epic failure and lack of intelligence. President Obama’s epic failure and lack of intelligence can kill this country. His policies aren’t new. Keynesian-style spending has been tried and failed for more than half a century. It’s folly to think that it will work now. As unemployment continues to rise and the recovery seems farther and farther away, you may come to see that. Or you may continue to worship your god of clay and refuse to acknowledge that he can do wrong.

                I have yet to see any evidence that my assumption is incorrect.

                By criticising an adoring non-LoL that uncritically assumes that Barack Obama is some kind of genius, I’ve stuck my head into a hornet’s nest of people who seem to think that the sun shines out of his ass. The responses I’ve seen are just a lot of childish insults and pathetically unfunny attempts at sarcasm.

                My assumptions:

                1) You admire/adore/worship (to whatever degree) a politician you have never taken a critical look at and become incensed when anyone criticises him.

                2) Your views are utterly bankrupt of substance because they are based only on the memes you’ve picked up from the left-liberal zeitgeist.

                3) Attaining your views required no intellectual rigor on your part, so you have no intellectual means to defend them.

                4) The intellectual banruptcy of your views leaves you with nothing to say but to spew asinine, peurile insults

                Am I wrong? Give me an intelligent argument.

                Are you just a clueless fool? Then call me an ass munch and pat yourself on the back for being such a clever, clever person.

                You have a brain. Use it. Don’t be satisfied with being some cynical politician’s useful idiot.

                  Well sir, maybe the democratic part isn’t the best, but it’s a whole lot better than the republican party which is just a hellhole of abesnt of intelligence, and so I have decided to stick with this.

                  The point is you’re assuming what you put after the number 1. I have taken a critical look at him and see that he knows what he’s doing. Or have you not heard about the health care agreement that was reached?

                  My views are based on what is right. Think for a change. At least Obama’s not trying to start random wars. Once again, you assume too much. And so obviously there was intellectual rigor obtaining those views. People adore Obama because he is smart and a nice guy, whereas Bush was most likely truly evil. He really didn’t care about anything. And McCain was just crazy, so that’s why everyone is “adoring” him – it’s more of a feeling of relief – that the country is finally in halfway intelligent hands. But in this case they’re good hands anyway. Because something inevitable was done just hours ago. But neanderthals like you simply want to criticize Obama out of hatred.

                  So I will indeed congratulate myself on being a clever, clever person. I’m really sorry you are unable to use common sense like I am.

                  I’ll give you an intelligent argument.

                  1) I (check admire) a politician i’ve come to know pretty comprehensively over the past two years to be intelligent, pragmatic, and well-meaning, and I become “incensed” (read: annoyed) when people attack him out of instinct/loyalty to their political arena instead of real evaluation. If you have an argument that isn’t a (hollow) RIGHT wing talking point be my guest.

                  2) My views have been formed by years of hard thinking and dispassionate “does it work” evaluation. The Right’s zeitgeist is much more hollow and dogmatic.

                  3) See above as to why I will corner you on every issue period.

                  4) No, I, and, i’ll assume myself many other people just get tired of typing this much to shut down you people. Where do you get this energy? I guess hate spirals are convenient that way. I was a hateful conservative myself, then I turned 16, read a book or two, and chillaxed.

                  I know I’m not that guy, but how ’bout it?

                    1) Is he well meaning? I have my doubts. I’ve looked at him, too, over the past couple years. I’ve read his books, listened to his speeches, and researched his life. I’m disturbed by his past associations and unimpressed by his thin resume.

                    2) Obama is not pragmatic. It’s axiomatic that you can’t spend your way out of a recession or tax your way out of a recession. The president is set on taxing and spending. If he were pragmatic and based his policies on “does it work” evaluation, he would cut taxes. Lowering taxes has always succeeded in stimulating an economy whenever and wherever it has been done. Taxation enables government to regulate how money is spent, which is all about control.

                    3) Whatever.

                    4) Do you listen to yourself? Why is it that people on the left have such an inflated view of their own virtue, intelligence, and loveliness? There is a non-stop barrage of pure hatred that comes from the left on a daily basis. Criticism is not hatred. It’s a crucial component in the marketplace of ideas. Popular memes have to be questioned, cults of personality must be criticized. Inane insults are not an argument or a criticism. They are just cheap shots.

                      1) I assume you mean Bill Ayers/Wright. This is a Talking Point, Ayers was a crazy hippie 30 years ago at worst and barely knew Obama, and Wright is a black pastor, who is going to say a thing or two sometimes. I don’t buy it. Anybody can see nefarious intent in political speech if they look for it, the fact of the matter is that anybody who considers running the United States as a career move is going to have to plan big/talk big. I hear in his speeches many very sensible but ambitious plans for making things better, while there was a lot more very substantial actions taken by Bush to indicate he did not have the American People in mind on many occasions. Finally, his “Resume” is pretty impressive, I’d love to get promoted that fast.

                      2) He is so! (lol), seriously, it isn’t that simple. Taxing and spending is the main mechanism whereby Government controls the flow of capital, but that’s a good thing.

                      I posted on another thread about why libertarianism/extreme free markets actually result in less net freedom, because while people get more freedom to hoard and leverage their capital, this results in resources getting pooled to fewer individuals resulting in plutocracy. This in turn means that most people are trapped by their own finances, with explosive booms and busts where the only people who survive/do well are the plutocrats.

                      As a matter of policy, taxation should fight centralization and dampen booms, with spending providing services for citizens to improve quality of life and insulating against recessions. Conservatives rail against the new deal, but it is what kept the country on an even keel right until the Nixon administration. It is Government’s job to actually keep the capitalists in line.

                      With regards to the current situation, it does seem to be working.

                      3) Fine.

                      4) Yes, and i’m sorry, i’m just such an awesome person I can’t help it sometimes, but you have to admit there are lots of right wing memes.

                      On the whole, I complement you on responding and making points yourself.

              And yet you worship God. Hypocritical, much? At least more than two of Obama’s brain cells function. That puts him above both Bush and you. Cool. Now Bush isn’t lonely anymore way down there on the evolutionary scale. Say hi to the neanderthal for me and tell him humanity is sorry for eating his kind, but that’s the waythe bone breaks.

              P.S. Random fact of the day. Before you defend and idolize Christ and Christianity, Christ wasn’t Christian. He was Jewish.

It doesn’t address anything I’ve written. Do have normal human contact or do you spend your days alone in a room spewing nonsense on the Internet?

                  While I’ve got to agree with the “self-indulgent drivel” part, I think based on the nesting it’s a response to your:

                  Stop worshipping a man and think for a change.

          I’ve never heard them say it was Bush’s fault, but this could have been somewhat avoided had his administration not poured lots of money into a useless war and oil.

          I am sorry, I didn’t mean to childishly insult you, I was only stating the facts that you epically fail and are unintelligent.

          Obama does not want to milk government control. He’s trying to get the stimuli passed. Maybe future generations will have to pay off that money, but you can’t go insulting the man in charge who is trying to fix this. And where did you hear that he can do no wrong? Maybe (as in likely) your mind is playing tricks on you…

          I’m sorry. Maybe I’m just tree-huggingly naive, but I really don’t see Obama wanting to or being able to take over the private sector. Even at the obviously insane rate the government is spending money (yes, I can admit that, and I’m not giving up my dirty librul card again), there is no way in hell the government could ever take over the private sector.
          Keep in mind that GM & Chrysler came to the government asking for money. If someone wants an obscene amount of money from me, I want to know it’s being well-spent, so damn right I’m controlling how my money is being used. The irony of that statement is that we the people didn’t get to decide how the money was used. The government decided that. But that’s still better than just giving it to them and saying “do what you want with it!” Chrysler and GM both needed massive makeovers to stop the bleeding. Obama pushing them around was supposed to make that happen. GM went bankrupt anyway. You can’t win ‘em all.

          I think I had a point somewhere. Oh yeah. The government is not taking over the private sector, and companies who come to Washington begging for cash deserve the government control they get stuck with. I’ve never claimed Obama can do no wrong. Hell, I’m still a fan, but the day after election I started thinking, “Okay, pal, let’s see what you got. And it’d BETTER be good.” The jury’s still out. It’s still early in the game.

                neither party is upholding the ideals that they’re supposedly championing. democrats are barely liberal and the republicans sure as hell aren’t conservative across all grounds. the party system has caused any number of issues, this is probably jsut one of the biggest ones that people choose to ignore. they think by saying a party affiliation they’re aligning themselves with liberal or conservative… not realizing that they’re just choosing a name, not an ideology.

                and before i get going where i’m talking in circles and making everyone hate me, i’m done on this topic. not awake enough to be truly coherent about it.

          Mine did too! Although my brothers and I were all a little over seven pounds so I tell her smoking was her best defense against pushing out ten pound babies.

            I was 10 lbs and a half an ounce.
            24 inches, I was the heaviest and tallest baby in the hospital. ME FTW!
            Double contractions for the fail, though, sorry mommy!

    It is good that unlike the previous president, Obama listens to both sides of controversial issues and doesn’t rush on deciding things. Also unlike Bush, he doesn’t just toe the line of what political ideology he happens to belong to.

    Along the same line of thought, the Easter Bunny is real.

    There was an almost exact replica of this a few months ago on the front page – how f*cking original. That said, I love these fake thoughtful poses – they’re great fodder for Deep Thought captions, so here’s one (what he’s really thinking):

    —”If I had a nickname, I think I would want it to be “Prince of Weasels,” because then I could go up and bite people and they would turn around and go “What the –?” and then they would recognize me, and go, “Oh, it’s you, the Prince of Weasels.”

      Yeah…Jack Handy fail. Put your tinfoil hat back on.

      And what’s wrong with weasels? I’ve had 8 ferrets pass through my life, and they are very loving creatures.

        That WAS Jack Handey, fool. LMAO

        To the rest – what a bizarrely odd f*cking thing to say. Tinfoil hats, weasels and ferrets? Double your dosage and get back to me when you’re clearheaded.

    Good idea! Why think on your own when the President can do it for you?

    Golly Barack is so smart. I wonder, does he think in English, or Austrian?

      He thinks he’s in Afghanistan so he uses an Arabic translator for his thoughts there. I can’t imagine what he does when he’s in Australia or England.

          His teleprompters have committed mass suicide from having to read such bullsh*t – one smashed to the ground just recently. But ain’t no POTUS without the TOTUS so we’ll see, eh?

    Actually, I said I figured out the difference between left-wing and right-wing arguments in my early teens, but that was a long time ago. I’m pretty sure I’m longer in the tooth than most of the people in this cat fight. Thanks for your kind comments nevertheless. And, yes, I’ve pretty much figured out SB. Not worth the powder.

    Too bad your little joke fell flat. Was “weasel” a new racist reference, I can’t keep up? Could be you think of all animals as representing black people; who knows. I sure don’t. Not sure about these tinfoil hats; I hear mention of them occasionally but never saw anyone wearing one. And NO idea how they tie in to ferrets! Nor what Jack Handey has to do with them. Ivan, log out, make a new handle, and come back as someone different, someone with an IDEA, and maybe you can get in a few zingers. If you can think of them. You ain’t done it yet, but perhaps you could. I’m being polite of course.
