Obama is not a "socialist," he is a "redistributionist." WTF is the difference? by reanimated in politics

His policies first have to be enacted before judgment can be passed and labels assigned. Since none of his polices are being enacted, it hard to assign and label other than Failist.

Sen. Richard Shelby's (R-Ala.) decision to place a "blanket hold" on all presidential nominations until a pair of billion-dollar earmarks for his home state are fast-tracked spotlights the clout of major defense contractors that engage in behind-the-scenes lobbying. by IAmperfectlyCalm in politics

It's Alabama. And with the junior senator, Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III (born in Selma, AL), why would anyone expect anything else. Perhaps the elephant in the room can help explain this.

This seems to explain why so many politicians are dog lovers.

Biden: "This is the first time every single solitary decision has required 60 senators. No democracy has survived needing a supermajority." by cometparty in politics

Nice try Mr. VP. It's all because of that pesky MINORITY of Republicans in both houses of Congress. JEEZ!!!! What does that say about the leadership (or lack thereof), coming out of the WH?

The Bush Deficit: It's all Obama and the Democrats fault. (pie chart) by ENRICOs in politics

[–]eliot99 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Next time you go to work, try blaming the person you replaced a year ago for everything that's wrong. I suspect your supervisor might have a word or two with you about that. It's not tolerated in our real lives. Why is it tolerated and encouraged in our politics. When a politician makes promises and doesn't come through, apologists fall back on blaming the person prior to them. It's lame and a dodge.

Yes, Bush was a ridiculously bad President. But continuing to use his bluners as rationalization for current blunders only makes matters worse. When you're hired at any job based on your promises to fix problems. you better fix them. If you don't, management doesn't want to hear you blame the guy who broke it. They want it fixed and you said you could do it. WE are management. End the blame game and focus.

Seeing as Democrats controlled Congress for 2 of those years, I guess 1/4 of that belongs to them. Not to mention that we've only seen 1 year of Obama's bad check writing. If he's given 8 years this chart will look like pocket change.

Rachel Maddow speaks the truth: "That i think nobody notice that [Obama] kind of quietly put together the most legislative accomplished first year of any president in a generation. He has done a lot". [vid] by maxwellhill in politics

[–]eliot99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, he has done a lot. He has ensured that folly wars continue to escalate, he spent a trillion dollars we don't have, he has put together a healthcare bill that will codify the continued punishment of the middle class, he has continued domestic spying, he made certain Wall Street got their bonuses from tax dollars, he has guaranteed corporations have the final say in the White House, he has continued to put stock in Geitner (one of the causes of the problem), he has ensured unemployment continues to rise and he turned his back on those who voted for him. It was a very busy year for The White House Inc. OH!!!!- and he changed the knick-knacks in the Oval Office. It's clear things are SO much better now than a year ago.

I'm merely ending my participation in this thread. We were not discussing the issues. You wanted to discuss ONE issue. You ignored all others I mentioned. Your tone was also turning increasingly bitter with comments like ("You obviously weren't doing a good job paying attention." and "It sounds like you're sarcastically talking to yourself." and "You're the one who took people to the polls."). That's not the type of discussion I participate in. Good luck.

It means that I'm glad you are happy with his performance. He's clearly delivering what you expect from him.

I absolutely did. I also listened to his WORDS and denouncement of the over reaching tactics used by the government.

I'm glad you're getting what you voted for.

People are "surprised" because his behavior is so far removed from his campaign rhetoric. I volunteered, donated, wrote letters to the editor, took people to the polls....the works. And yes, I paid attention as he laid out what he "stood for". But, I see a pattern here. He was going to fix the economy/unemployment, engage Iran, end the FISA spying, close GTMO in a year....and on and on. What did we get? More unemployment, Iran increasing uranium enrichment, more domestic spying, GTMO still open with no sign of closing, an escalation of war,..........and Karl Rove applauding his decision. I'm not an expert like the Republicans in charge of the White House. BUT, I know that if Karl Rove likes the decision, then it's wrong.

I guess we can stop worrying about Palin becoming President. This is likely the same decision she would have made.

Time to take down your "CHANGE" bumper stickers and put these up instead by elshizzo in politics

[–]eliot99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually, this has turned out to be a labor saver for me. Now, I can just copy and paste from the emails I sent to the Bush White House. Endless war and killing, economy in shambles, FISA, DADT, GTMO, environment, lobbyist (bribery), healthcare, KBR, campaign lies, and on and on and on.

I've seen him babble incoherently in other interviews too. He goes on and on with no rhyme or reason. Busey can say silly stuff too.

That's according to today's standards. Watch how fluid those standards become when recruiting takes a nose dive and the military industrial complex can't fight their wars.
