what are barack obama's flaws?

Don't forget the millions of people who are far more left-wing then the Democratic agenda but didn't want to let the republicans follow through with their march towards Armageddon.

Oh wait the news says this is a center-right nation, I guess you can forget them after all.

lol deej what inspired this thread revive

deej, in a nation of 300+ million people, you can have 5 million people on the far fringe left and they'd still be less than 2% of the population. Adam's saying there are "millions of people who are far more left-wing then the Democratic agenda" is otm.

if you define "agenda" as "things we actually seriously plan on doing no joke" then pretty much every self-described liberal/leftist/non-right-winger in america is more left-wing than the democratic party establishment.

Anything to make us pay less attention to the oil spill disaster, eh?

well if don surber of the charleston daily mail says so

didn't this surface/get debunked during the campaign?

Yeah, it broke in the British papers last summer and it was discovered that it might have been 'placed' by a an intern with an influential right-wing parent - guy was doing some overseas work experience and the one thing the right-wing thinks it knows about the British press is that they <3 gossip.. Also those comments under the linked story are just gross.

this rumor is a little bit delicate. Obama has been an icon of hope for Americans when he stepped on his office with promise. We didn’t know he could be potentially an icon of infidelity like Tiger Woods.

We still are yet to really know the truth and confirm the allegations but as of now, the word is spreading like wild fire in the internet.

Vera Baker is supposedly a part of Obama’s team in 2004. We are not sure if Obama’s wife knows about this affair or what not.

Stay updated on this issue and come back for the latest buzz on Obama Affair.

this is psy-ops to get guys like me back on board the obama express by reminding us what irredeemable dicks the opposition are

hubris

Are the rumors of an affair between Barack Obama and Vera Baker true? There certainly isn't any proof at this point. But Barack and Michelle Obama, a beautiful, young and powerful couple, do bring to mind John and Jackie Kennedy. Is this a repeat of the secret scandals of the first American Camelot?

Not looking forward to Halle Berry's overdosing of barbiturates

According to the New America Foundation, Obama has killed somewhere between 109 and 188 civilians with drones during his presidency.

secret video could
destroy presidency

I do realize you Dems cluck-clucked over W's joke about his methods of killing ppl while O can get away w/ it cuz he's sooooo fucking cool; give me some credit.

No one here thinks that joke was cool. Direct your ire elsewhere Mr Sword of Righteousness!

when you posted it on the other thread i think ppl said it was not cool

no i definitely think O is soooooooooo fucking cool

i lold so hard at his joke about murdering people with the tools of his unchecked executive power

"youre sooooooooo fucking cool mr president" i said

i remember that

u r an enabler max, you should think abt that

and i remember the expression on glenn greenwald's face afterwards, he couldn't believe it

he was so angry that i disregarded his opinion immediately

They do say, in comedy, that when a liberal man's daughters become teenagers, CONSERVATIVISM AHOY.

who's talking about Russ Feingold?

i can't wait for morbs to castigate us again six hours from now for loving obama's joke!! cuz we really did love it

Oh yeah, he's also an elitist, as the children of single moms tend to be.

lol wut?

In case, it turns out true than the following consequences await the 1st black American president:

1. He will lose the support of the mass public who are his fans cum well wishers. This will definitely lower the prospects of his winning the subsequent elections.
2. Besides, a permanent scar will be marked on the US Presidency.
3. It will also raise the debate that ‘Is US presidency jinxed’? One of the biggest democracies in the world, USA has always been in the news for the adulterous flings of presidents. John F. Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe, Bill Clinton and Monica and now Barack Obama & Vera Baker.
4. Also, on a personal front, Obama’s image will get completely tainted.
5. His marriage with Michelle Obama can also suffer a serious crisis. The recent break-ups of villas of Tiger Woods and Jesse James will only give jitters to Obama supporters.

The popular mantra is "dude is and was always a centrist, pay attention"

like, if you're so smart how come you didn't notice that?

I believed what he said up there, like Mordy still does

lol @ morbs coming back 5 days later

Don't call it a comeback, I been here for years

Alfred: you're right, there's a lot to wade through here. If you can sum up complaints you've posted above, I'll respond.

I was exhilirated when health care reform passed on that Sunday last March. No more devastating portrait of Republican cynicism and bad faith than their no votes and sententious floor speeches. But, to use a tired metaphor, the final bill was like giving a starving child a bag of Doritos and a can of Sprite: it staved off hunger, and probably kept him from death, but unsatisfying and unhealthy once he's stabilized. With Obama much more popular than Congress, he could have spent a commensurate level of capital to get the liberal parts of the House passed; instead he drifted and lost control of the debate.

Fair enough, but the way the Senate's set up, I would say there was no way he was getting the liberal stuff through no how--not even if he'd tried when he was sitting at 70% approval soon after the inauguration. (And by liberal parts, I'm assuming you mean the public option.) Not with exhortion artists like Ben Nelson and Joe Lieberman as part of your no-margin-of-error majority. What I really give him credit for is making a second push after the Scott Brown election. (You can certainly argue that he didn't do enough to head that off in the first place.) He could have easily just shrugged and turned his attention elsewhere.

"extortion"...I think an "exhortion artist" is someone who breathes so hard they make an art of it.

Not with exhortion artists like Ben Nelson and Joe Lieberman as part of your no-margin-of-error majority.

if the majority leaders had the courage to strip these guys of their committees they might find themselves in possession of much more leverage. the "extortion" in question occurs with a willing partner.

I'm actually going to agree with you there. I wish Obama had simply gone in front of a camera and said, "Here's what Senator Nelson is asking in return for his vote on health care." In a perfect world, I would love to see that happen. Why it doesn't--what repercussions are lying in wait for any president who does so--I'm not really sure.

I believed what he said up there, like Mordy still does

lol morbz. you're a dense motherfucker.

Why it doesn't--what repercussions are lying in wait for any president who does so--I'm not really sure.

well, this is at the crux of why some of us (me) who are angry to the point of self-caricature at the president are as pissed as we are: the obvious reading, and it seems to me the fair reading, is "the president doesn't really mind making such concessions to Nelson; when push comes to shove, it's not something he's willing to stand up for if it means any blowback at all."

To be fair, I'm sick of the Obama-shoulda-studied-the-LBJ-playbook line of criticism. Johnson had been in the House and a minority and majority leader in the Senate. By the time he became prez he'd known these men who were once colleagues better than his own children: he knew their favorite pork projects and their vanities. He was an overbearing, obnoxious man. Obama is not that man.
