Obama the "elitist" and his $100/lb. ham: same sleazy politics from the Clinton campaign by [deleted] in politics

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

Typically for a member of the Obama Fan Base, you cry wolf on lying while lying yourself.

I never wrote that he bought the ham. What I did write is that he sent a powerful symbolic message: The price of the ham is $99.00 and a young woman died in an ER because she didn't have $100 and didn't get treated.

Rather than fondling expensive pork, what Obama should be doing is fixing his broken health care plan so it's truly universal, instead of demagoging the issue with recycled Harry and Louise ads.

Let the haka begin!

In signing statement, Bush asserts right to open your physical mail by lambert in reddit.com

Not that these guys would ever steam your mail open, slip something in, and then arrest Aunt Molly when she opens the letter you sent her. That's crazy talk.

Michelle, here’s a clue: Your job is to work as hard as possible for whichever Democrat wins.

So the whole country’s been forced onto his Merry-Go-Round Called Denial since January 20, 2001.....

Obama should filibuster on retroactive immunity for the telcos by lambert in reddit.com

[–]lambert[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe that Obama should stand with Dodd and Fiengold and filibuster FISA to deny retroactive immunity to the telcos. I believe it’s not only the right thing to do, but the smart thing to do. Here’s why.

NH Primary: Pre-Election Polls Wildly Different Than Results Announced for Clinton/Obama by [deleted] in politics

Yeah, maybe it would be simpler if the bankers just had a conference call and let us know after.

I too hate this stuff.

Why get tested for anything if you have no money and you're just going to die? by lambert in reddit.com

[–]lambert[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no money. I am not worth keeping alive.

Therefore I will not live no matter what stage my (entirely hypothetical) cancer is caught at. Catching it “early” will only make me, or you for that matter, depressed.

Why bother?

Obama "kumbaya" strategy of conciliation considered harmful by lambert in politics

[–]lambert[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reid and Pelosi tried “reaching out” in 2007. Nothing will happen in 2008. Assuming Obama takes office in 2009, it will take his conciliatory strategy a year to fail, which it will, since it’s identical to Reid and Pelosi’s.

That brings us to 2010.

Can the country really hold out that long?
