What is funny as heck is how paranoid libs were about Bush and how this new guy can do no wrong! I am not paranoid about Obama. I just think he's a screw up in over his head with no principles! Other than that he's a peach! :roll:

Don't forget to say the Democratic Loyalty Pledge before you go Reader

I Am Loyal Democrat

I am Loyal Democrat. I will take the side of any entity that declares itself to be an enemy of the United States. I will consider any action taken by my government to be improper, and defend the position of any nation that opposes my own. I will not stand by while the concepts of freedom and liberty are allowed to infect the thoughts of repressed peoples. Rather, I will combat such efforts and convince the slaves of dictatorships that they have it better than anyone else.

I am Loyal Democrat. I will tell all Americans that they had 9/11 coming as retribution for all of our evil deeds inflicted upon members of the most peaceful religion on earth. I will work to undermine any effort to destroy the Islamic tidal wave of terror that has vowed to wash onto our beaches. I will strive to weaken our military as it attempts to carry out its mission overseas. I shall encourage total surrender to any foe that threatens us.

I am Loyal Democrat. I shall stir up domestic unrest by separating my fellow citizens into groups, and then I will encourage each group to distrust the next, and convince each that I am their one true friend. Through this magnificent deception, I will rule them all. I will convince minorities that they are inferior, and that they need my special help to succeed in life. Once I have them suspicious of others and fully demoralized, I will keep them down, and make their every gain dependent on what I decide to let them do. I shall oppress minorities worse than any avowed racist could ever hope to.

I am Loyal Democrat. I will make every effort to criticize people that achieve, to hinder those that aspire, and ridicule those that display self-worth. In spite of my lack of personal merit, I will elevate myself in the eyes of others by bringing people with actual character down. I will prey on people's envy of others' success, and I will gain undeserved power as a result. I will take from those that earn until they lose the motivation to build up mankind any longer.

I am Loyal Democrat. I will promote the tyranny of socialism, and crush the only economic system that has advanced mankind. And when we are all financially destitute and controlled by an omnipotent government, I shall laugh at the destruction I have wrought, for I truly hate mankind.

Of course he's going to make mistakes but you had all prejudged him before he took office.

Isn't it the responsible thing to do, to educate yourself and PREJUDGE before you vote?

Obviously if you take a look at his approval ratings, a lot of those that chose to "give him a chance", have been educated now on who they voted for, and wish they could take their vote back.

Your silence on this board is not taken as a "boycott" of a "pointless forum", but as an admission that your "give the man a chance" emotional vote, is coming back to haunt you and the other non-judgemental Liberals.

That's why this has become a pointless forum.

Isn't prejudging the point of a campaign? Aren't you supposed to listen to what the candidate says they're going to do, what they stand for, EXAMINE THEIR PAST (the part you libs forgot), and then prejudge whether this guy will be a good president or not?

And when everyone got done judging the 2 guys running- their past performances and those of their cult predecessors- and looked at what each was promising- the majority chose the one that won...
And like Daley said- now that he is working to do the things he said he would- the losers are P.O.ed...

None of you libs here would even look at his past, so I doubt many other libs did, either. Badaxe ignored his voting record and said he wasn't a gun control nut, Reader said that Ayers was repentant, none of you reached the conclusion that somebody who joins a socialist political party would be an actual socialist. We have the citizenship issue where none of you can explain why an innocent man would spend thousand of dollars to keep a document hidden that has no reason to be kept hidden. The man belonged to a racist "church" for 20 years, and Kola explained that as a culture thing where you can't leave a church.

There was no rational examination of his past, OT. It was all just falling in the cult of the Obama and guzzling his koolaid.

I'm not POed because he's doing what he said he would do, because the man is a compulsive liar and you can't believe a dang word he says. I'm POed because he's doing everything his history suggested he would do - the history you libs refused to acknowledge.

You must figure the whole world is pointless then.

Our liberal media wouldn't show his pic bowing to Saudi until it came from foreign media.

He never stated his positions all through the election. All we heard was, "we're looking in to it".

So what is his position on the issues reader? We'd all like to know.

Texan- I think the only legislation that didn't have 5 days was the Stimulus bill- that was being altered- bipartisanly- up to the last minute- and most that was in it was issues Obama campaigned for- and won...As far as lobbyiests go- I wish he had hired none....But he still has hired less for his entire administration than his opponent had just running his campaign.. :shock: I don't agree with everything Obama wants...Some of his direction is too progreen and too liberal- but I think we needed some new direction on many things- and he's pursuing them...I definitely don't fear him as some of the fearmongering rightwingernuts that seem to be shaking in their boots over his every move do...


I think the best "change" I've seen sofar is that we again have a 3 Branch government--Congress and the Courts are involved again...Whether you like what they do or not- no longer is it just an Administration decision and if either of the other two disagree you just go around them or subvert them by lawyerhunting until you can find some young attorney to write you an opposing ruling- and make it an administrative decree....

As for transparency--I watch a lot of congressional hearings on C-SPAN--- and I'm hearing it over and over again from the Senators and the Representatives (Both Dems and Repubs- in fact quite a few Repubs)- as they say "isn't it nice that we can now actually get an Administrative official to appear for the hearing" or " isn't this refreshing to have some one actually answer our questions" or "isn't it nice to have some one in the administration you can work with that you don't have to threaten to subpeona to even talk to"....

I think a good example is the Senator Stevens criminal case...There is little doubt to me he was probably a crook- but this country lives by rules of law- and when the prosecuters violate them or withhold evidence in their zealousness to win a case- its a sad day....Bush appointed US Attorneys and Attorney General were the prosecuters... The Judge has thrown out the case at the request of the new AG- and now a bunch of the prosecuters are under investigation...The same charges have been leveled against Bush attorneys involving the Border Patrolmen that shot the Mexican illegal invader that was smuggling in loads of drugs....

But this is no surprise- as part of the Bush legacy will be the total incompetence of Administration attorneys and complete internal breakdown within the US Attorney Generals office.....From prosecuters I've talked to- morale was nonexistent anymore down on the front line levels because they knew many of the things that were happening or even they were being asked to do were illegal/unconstitutional...

I'm happy to see the new Attorney General do the right thing- and if the government broke the law- didn't follow the rules- admit it instead of trying to cover it up like Mukasey was...

Our government... teaches the whole people by its example. If the government becomes the lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.

You know, I'm not real caught up in some things, but I've noticed one thing. The people who harp the loudest about how every one is "owed" a house, "owed" a great paying job, "owed" this & "owed" that, are the one's who seem to have NEVER stood up for what's right in their lives. When the school bully took their lunch, they decided he needed it more than they did. When there was a fight it was none of their business, When some guy punched his girlfriend, it was because he had a rough upbringing. When the pirates take a U S ship it is a business. HORSE HOCKEY!! If you would stand for SOMETHING as my granny used to say you might amount to something.
Until someone makes a statement this garbage will not be tolerated, Then we just go along to get along, Where is the sam hill does that lead?? To leaders who lead by their approval numbers!! :mad: :roll: :roll:

OT, what is it going to take for you to quit making excuses for that clown and admit you were duped? You were running so hard AWAY from Bush, that you weren't paying attention to what you were running TO. Now you're forced to somehow justify his lies and broken promises. It's going to be a long 4 years unless you cut your losses soon and come clean.

Well it won't be the first time..I watched GW- who I voted for- forget every campaign promise he made- rip holes in the Constitution- and our 3 branch government-throw out the rule of law- while bringing down the Republican Party to the point that many of the good Republican legislators never even ran for re-election...

I gave him 4 years to show me his true colors- and I'll do the same for Obama....

OT mentions 'nice' and Obama in the same sentence.
It's easy to be nice when everything is going your way.
Personally, I don't think Obama is one bit 'nice'. I think he's
a conceited pied piper with a silver tongue and no knowledge.

The reason some people are such good con artists is because they
have learned how to appear NICE.

They must have put duct tape over Biden's mouth cuz he hasn't
spoken up either.


I'm a very curious person and these are thoughts running thru my head:
I wonder who the Captain and his family voted for?
I wonder what they think about Obama now?

WRONG! Why do you have such an aversion to the truth? :???:


To a roar of approval, President Obama pledged on the campaign trail: “[W]hen there is a bill that ends up on my desk as a president, you the public will have five days to look online and find out what’s in it before I sign it, so that you know what your government’s doing.”

Here’s a look at the White House’s uneven efforts to fulfill that promise:

Of the eleven bills President Obama has signed, only six have been posted on Whitehouse.gov. None have been posted for a full five days after presentment from Congress.

One bill, the DTV Delay Act, was posted after it was cleared for presentment by Congress February 4th, with the President signing it February 11th. This arguably satisfies the five-day promise, though presentment - a constitutional step in the legislative process - would be a better time to start the five-day clock. (Congress presented it February 9th.)

It doesn't have anything to do with what you "wish." And it doesn't have anything to do with John McCain. It has to do with his campaign promise. He broke that promise - and has continued to break it on a regular basis. And you're just making excuses for him.


Oldtimer said:

Wrong again. We don't have anything like an active Legislative branch when all they are is a rubber stamp for Obama's wish list. I remember you complaining about the Republican Congress doing the same thing with President Bush (and I agree that they overspent and didn't provide enough oversight of each other). But why aren't you complaining now? Why do you try to justify this?

Can you provide a link to that quote? Here's a quote that I can provide a link to:

Treasury's staff problems apparently have affected its ability to report to Congress on the massive bailouts it has been doling out.

At a Senate hearing Thursday about failed insurance giant American International Group Inc. — which has received four separate bailouts totaling more than $170 billion — Sen. Chris Dodd said he had asked Treasury for someone to appear, but that no one was available.

"I am not pleased that we don't have someone here from Treasury to explain what their role in this is," Dodd said.

Oldtimer, to claim that the Obama Administration is providing transparency is nothing but a joke. They're rapidly becoming one of the least transparent administrations we've had. They're starting to remind me a lot of the Nixon Administration with all of their nefarious behind-the-scenes chicanery.

You know Oldtimer, it's really become kinda sad. Watching you twist in the wind - trying to explain away the things that your guy is doing. Or to see you just disappear, instead of even engaging in a rational debate. All done in an effort to keep from admitting that he made a fool out of you (or however you wish to characterize it).
