Thanks, Glinda. We know virtually nothing about Barry's past, and the MSM shows no interest in pursuing it. Outkast says we're grasping. That's hilarious, because all we're doing is stating the obvious. His resume is the thinnest of any president in history, all his accomplishments are fictional. Why cant we see his grades? What cases has he tried as a lawyer? Who will admit they sat next to him in college? Why did it take three years to produce a questionable birth certificate? The list of questions we have about this guy is quite lengthy. If a person is backing Barry at this point in his tenure, I have to question whether or not they've lost their mind.

That's false, they do have a plan: if you're old and probably white, you get the goldmine. If you aren't, you get the shaft.

"Harry Reid came out of a meeting with Obama over the weekend 'visibly shaking' he was so angry at how little the president seemed to care about the process and related details of the agreement, and how flip and dismissive he was toward Senator Reid. 'Just get something for me to sign Harry…' The primary concern of the Obama White House was the possibility of the debt ceiling issue carrying forward into the 2012 election cycle."

Odd how the 'smartest' man to sit in the Oval Office for years (at least that's what we have been told repeatedly), is described as "moronic" by members of his own party.
I hope this doesn't cast a pall over Harvard's educational abilities.

He doesn't answer questions from reporters because he can't. Without his script ready prepared by others, on the rare occasions where he was ad-libbing he has shown himself to be totally inept.

Obama, the smartest President? You've got to be kidding. Compared to Clinton? Clinton was a Rhodes Scholar. He just had this embarrassing "zipper" problem....

Well this sure is interesting. Lets face it, if a person can understand, and appease the dirt, the filth, the absolute WRONGNESS of a governmental system which actively prevents real change,despite the efforts of its leader, I think that understanding individual ought to be forced to suck dirt in hell.
The truth is that accepting and serving the status quo in the USA was never something that anyone even VOTED for Obama to do. If anything , the more people who are cheesed off with the President on capitol hill , the better of a job he must be doing. The only people who are angry at him, are the ones who have failed to understand that the ENTIRE political system is shot to hell, and the chances are that hes the only one working in government today who has a single ounce of respect for the people.

Imo the country should be run by the people, with a small admin team to keep things ticking over properly and who are 1000% answerable to the people.

Indeed, that was the big con. He got voted in because people believed he was going to challenge the status quo and work for the people.That was his predominant message. Perhaps the fact that he would be the first black president supported that perspective too. In retrospect you can see how TPTB read the mood of the country after Bush and provided a candidate who said what the public desperately wanted to hear - a candidate with virtually no known history so no-one knew his track record - and.....quite simply - they LIED and CONNED the people of US and the world.edit on 4-8-2011 by wcitizen because: (no reason given)
I commend to you Solzhenitsyn's "Lenin In Zurich", a book I read years ago. It is fiction, yet invaluable to the understanding of the last century, and the next. I am about to share with you a secret known to few: Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, Mao, Deng, Pol Pot, Castro, and Solzhenitsyn himself. And me. And now you.
Socialism does not exist except in the imagination of the true believer and the useful idiot. None of the names I listed believed there was such a thing as socialism. They knew it for what it was: a means of fooling mass numbers of people into following them, and thus achieving power. Political power. Military power. Economic power. Absolute power. As you read Lenin in Zurich you understand that Lenin doesn't believe a word of the ideological nonsense he spouts. He translates his agenda, long term and immediate, into terms that are palatable to his mass following.
.....................................Lenin In Zurich presents the litany of techniques which can be copied by any tyrant.
The leader need not continue to spout socialist claptrap, except to continue to fool his flock. And they are willing fools. Given the socialist framework, the flock will fill in the blanks themselves, centralizing power in the center. All to the advantage of the boss, who doesn't give a damn about the flock.
That's why we still hear communist dupes who tell us socialism failed in the Soviet Union because it wasn't done properly. The leaders didn't quite get it right. Not so. Socialism failed in the Soviet Union because socialism does not exist.
So, what can we say about the United States today? Our leader, and those who are his helpmates, do appear to be committed socialists. That means they haven't looked behind the curtain. They don't know the magician's trick.
Who is our Lenin? Who is our Stalin? Who is our Mao? This would have to be someone who knows socialism is meaningful only to his willing fools. Someone who will capitalize when a socialist government in America is complete. My money is on George Soros, but I could be mistaken. Whoever it is, when he has achieved power, we had all better watch out.

Obama's slogan was "Yes, We Can", not "Okay, I'll Do It By Myself". What part of "We" didn't you understand? He led a charge only to turn around and see that everyone had gone back to sleep as soon as they got done pulling a lever in a voting booth. There was no one, and has been no one, charging with him. I bet that's been the biggest revelation of his whole life. He was used to people actually bothering to act in their own best interest (having been a community organizer). He probably never believed that people - once given a leader who would actually allow them to have what they need, instead of blocking them at every turn - would simply lose interest and then blame him for their laziness and lack of follow through on what had been agreed on.
Between the corporate funded *ssholes in the media, and the dumbsh*t lunchpail pundits on boards like this, you'd think that Obama had promised everyone the moon. All he ever said was that if we really want it, and are willing to press for it, that he'd open the way for us to have it. He's tried to open it up for us, and he's paid heavily for trusting that we'd be behind him as he did it.
You're either an idiot or a liar, and frankly, what difference does it make. People like you are the ones who've destroyed this one last shot at breaking the corporate stranglehold on our nation. I'll be feeding hells with folks like you when we're all done here on this planet. I'm looking forward to it.edit on 8/4/2011 by NorEaster because: (no reason given)

A quick update following the almost-concluded debt ceiling negotiations paints a fascinating picture of Democrats and Republicans agreeing on one thing – the leadership fiasco that is President Obama. Democrats are so upset in fact, serious whispers of a primary challenger to Obama are now quickly spreading within the party.
As predicted last week by our longtime D.C. Insider, the debt ceiling agreement now appears to have indeed been”all but done” days prior to its actual public conclusion. What is equally clear is just how inept Barack Obama was during the entire process – and how deep current frustrations and anger now run against the president from both Democrats and Republicans in Congress:
The one thing that almost everyone did agree with was how “idiotic”, “moronic”, “pathetic”, “self-serving”, “arrogant”, and “scary” President Obama’s role was during the process. Those are actual descriptions used against the president, and most of them came from Democrats. Everyone stunned over how little Barack Obama understands about anything.
Harry Reid came out of a meeting with Obama over the weekend “visibly shaking” he was so angry at how little the president seemed to care about the process and related details of the agreement, and how flip and dismissive he was toward Senator Reid. “Just get something for me to sign Harry…” The primary concern of the Obama White House was the possibility of the debt ceiling issue carrying forward into the 2012 election cycle.
That would be what is now very serious conversations by some high ranking Democrats, and a few powerful donors, to run a primary challenger against President Obama. This scenario has been spoken of before, but now it’s getting very very serious.

Don't kid yourselves Dems/Liberal lovers. Obama has some huge problems-within his own party. No wonder the MSM and Pundits lovers on the Left are attacking the Tea Party so much. It is political nature for the Dems to attack anyone who Kicks the Crap out of them.
Now, they realize it isn't the Tea Party that is the problem. It is POTUS Obama. His ego will get him in the end.
Get ready for a Huge Tea Party in Washington D.C in 2012!!! I can't wait to fill the streets with NORMAL thinking people who only wish is to get the mis-guided country of ours back on track and/or away for the Socialist/Liberal Politically ignorant man.
