Firstly he was a law professor so I think he can make an unprompted speech if he has to. The main point though is his job is to make important decisions correctly.

Palin is the ultimate fuckwit of stupid cunt who is so fucking idiotic, comedy programs only need to repeat exactly what she says and people collapse laughing.

McCain's main decision of his career was to appoint Palin.

I rest my case....

Oh shit man, the last thing I want to do is debate Obama vs Palin in the intellect department. And I'm not saying Obama isn't extremely smart. But he has had a lot of stumbles when not provided with his teleprompter. I know, easy to pick on that. He just needs to work on his improv skills a bit.

And yes, he did do very well at the Republican thing recently. But that marked the first time he did the unscripted thing well. A turning point? Maybe. Let's hope so. Much bigger fish to fry than how well he reads.

mmmmm...fish fry

He was the editor of the Harvard Review law journal...

What was Palin again? A fucking teleprompter bunny and sports-reader shithead that bounced from college to college?

The reference here to Obama using a "teleprompter" is just priceless and ironic, when you actually voted for a bimbo "Biblespice" whose intellectual qualifications and depth are those of a gnat...

Thank you, he was never really much of anything. He continues to play the Empty Suit role to a tee. When in the U.S. Senate he was long on rhetoric and short on established political deeds. As charismatic as he is, he is clearly just a figure head. If he keeps stumbling, look for the return of the Clintons with Hitllary leading the charge.

Before we had the internet being ignorant on simple factual matters was a lot more excusable. Nowadays it makes you look like what Rush Limbaugh calls a retard.

Media Inquiries | University of Chicago Law School (http://www.law.uchicago.edu/media)

The Law School has received many media requests about Barack Obama, especially about his status as "Senior Lecturer."

From 1992 until his election to the U.S. Senate in 2004, Barack Obama served as a professor in the Law School. He was a Lecturer from 1992 to 1996. He was a Senior Lecturer from 1996 to 2004, during which time he taught three courses per year. Senior Lecturers are considered to be members of the Law School faculty and are regarded as professors, although not full-time or tenure-track. The title of Senior Lecturer is distinct from the title of Lecturer, which signifies adjunct status. Like Obama, each of the Law School's Senior Lecturers has high-demand careers in politics or public service, which prevent full-time teaching. Several times during his 12 years as a professor in the Law School, Obama was invited to join the faculty in a full-time tenure-track position, but he declined.

Since when does "considered" and "regarded" make someone a professor?

I don't want to fuck her and would not even want her as my President (at least not right now) but I think she has become a punching bag for a lot of people and I think that's wrong. I think she loves this country and only wants to do whats right for it.

Nice try, but I ain't buyin'.

There's a huge difference between giving a nickname to an acquaintance and doing it in a derogatory fashion because you don't like or respect the guy. You've made it pretty clear where your motivations lie.

He's our president, like it or not... and, in my opinion, it's disrespectful to pull that shit. The same applies to the sort of thing across the aisle, as with FORD's "Poppy" and "Pibbles" stuff.

You are free to disagree, of course... :)

Hmmmmmmm...

Eerily similar to many of the kind folks around these parts who referred to The President of the United States prior as "Chimpy" no? ;)

The difference is that your current President used to go by the name "Barry."

As far as a respect factor and as with the prior pres with many of you, one isn't just given respect, it has to be earned. Thus, (I know it's hard to believe Sharky) half of the country isn't united when it comes to Barry. I know it's a hard pill to swallow but a lot of us think he sucks!!!

Maybe if he accomplishes something worthwhile (highly doubtful) during his tenure, I'll give him some respect? However and until such a feat happens, he'll always be Barry to me. :)

First of all, he is "our" president. Unless you've decided to pack up and move to a different country.

Secondly, I don't believe this is true. Not that it matters. Again, the issue is the context. If it was a nickname among friends, that's one thing. You guys are using it differently.

I agree that respect must be earned. But spare me the morality lesson. Even if you think he "sucks," that does not justify calling him by something other than his real name... unless, of course, you are completely uninterested in any respect yourself.

It was at Occidental where he stopped being called “Barry” and became Barack Obama...

“It was when I made a conscious decision: I want to grow up,” he told the magazine.

Occidental College :: Barack Obama '83 Elected President (http://www.oxy.edu/x8270.xml)

Oxy Remembers "Barry" Obama '83

According to Obama, who then went by the name of Barry....

Occidental College :: Oxy Remembers "Barry" Obama '83 (http://www.oxy.edu/x8273.xml)

His name was Barry Obama.

Sometimes called "Barry O'bomber" for his jump shot

The 'Rat-Ballers': Obama's High School Crew - ABC News (http://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/story?id=3082803&page=1)

known at the time as Barry

Occidental recalls 'Barry' Obama - Los Angeles Times (http://articles.latimes.com/2007/jan/29/local/me-oxy29)

It didn't happen overnight. But in college, the young Barry took to being called by his formal name.

Barry Obama decided that he didn't like his nickname. A few of his friends at Occidental College had already begun to call him Barack (his formal name), and he'd come to prefer that. The way his half sister, Maya, remembers it, Obama returned home at Christmas in 1980, and there he told his mother and grandparents: no more Barry. Obama recalls it slightly differently, but in the same basic time frame. He believes he told his mom he wanted to be called Barack when she visited him in New York the following summer. By both accounts, it seemed that the elder relatives were reluctant to embrace the change. Maya recalls that Obama's maternal grandparents, who had played a big role in raising him, continued long after that to call him by an affectionate nickname, "Bar." "Not just them, but my mom, too," says Obama.

The change from Barry to Barack came in 1980 when Obama came home from college at Christmas and told his mother and grandparents that henceforth he wanted be known by his given name.

Barack was known as Barry by one and all

Obama’s African father was also named Barack, but he chose to be called Barry when he left Kenya to study in the U.S. in 1959.

I know all about "the barry thing"

But NO ONE other than HE knows how "sudden" it was...

Just because someone tells everyone they've decided to revert back to their given name, doesnt imply they haven't given it ALOT of thought over many months or even years......

It's only "sudden" to those who aren't HIM

I find it amusing that Republicans and conservatives in general are being forced to resort to names like "Barry" and "Obongo" in a vague effort to insult or discredit him.

EXACTLY. I can see someone possibly having an issue with Obama's policies. Sure.

Supporting Palin, despite her obvious HUGE lack of character, ability and intellect - not to mention considering someone who couldn't even hack it for a full term as GOVERNOR qualified to hold the office of PRESIDENT- is not only insane, it's fucking idiotic. :pullinghair:

It was at Occidental where he stopped being called “Barry” and became Barack Obama...

“It was when I made a conscious decision: I want to grow up,” he told the magazine.

Occidental College :: Barack Obama '83 Elected President (http://www.oxy.edu/x8270.xml)

Oxy Remembers "Barry" Obama '83

According to Obama, who then went by the name of Barry....

Occidental College :: Oxy Remembers "Barry" Obama '83 (http://www.oxy.edu/x8273.xml)

His name was Barry Obama.

Sometimes called "Barry O'bomber" for his jump shot

The 'Rat-Ballers': Obama's High School Crew - ABC News (http://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/story?id=3082803&page=1)

known at the time as Barry

Occidental recalls 'Barry' Obama - Los Angeles Times (http://articles.latimes.com/2007/jan/29/local/me-oxy29)

It didn't happen overnight. But in college, the young Barry took to being called by his formal name.
...

And who gives a fuck. In 1983 he was still a teenager, and probably was trying to blend in. It's sort of his choice what name he uses. People that try to make more of it than what it is as some sort of insidious conspiracy or character flaw just come off as delusional assholes that can't actually discuss issues that matter --like even a semi-educated adult and with a grasp of basic reality....

This kind of quibbling shit can apply to just about everyone and has no real meaning...

Hale, I have said numerous times that at THIS point, I would not vote for Palin for President.

My argument is that she is not dumb and is not a whore. Which is the way she is being referred to here.

There is a large scale between being a dumb whore and being worthy of the Office of President of the United States. I am saying that Sarah Palin is somewhere in between and I believe at the same level as Barack Obama. She is treated with less respect than Obama because she is a woman. And that is wrong.

Lets face it, if Obama ran a business the way he is running our country he'd be out of business.

Can you tell me one thing Obama has done to prove that he is worthy of this Office?

Also amazing, DG - not sure whether you made the comment in this or the other thread, but to call Mr. & Mrs. Obama "arrogant" when ironically you're supporting a quitter that still somehow is delusional enough to think SHE's even qualified to run for high office? THAT, my dear, is a far better example of "arrogance".

Did she announce that she was running?? I must have missed that.

Palin resigned because she felt that it was best for the State.

I wish Obama would wake up and do the same. :biggrin:

But, he won't. Because he ain't no quitter. No.

He'll KEEP running this country right into the fucking ground.

Can't speak to the "whore" thing - but after watching several interviews with her, it's obvious she IS INDEED dumb as a box of rocks, DG. Admit it to yourself.

Be real - set your personal dislike aside -Obama could kick her ass intellectually with one lobe of his brain tied behind his back, and it has absolutely NOTHING to do with her gender. Sure you'd like to think so, but that is NOT the reality. She's treated with less respect because she's proven time and time again she doesn't DESERVE any at all! She uses her impaired kid as political fodder, but nobody else better, dammit! She decries teleprompters but keeps notes on her hand!

For you to sit there and claim she's Obama's equal is just ridiculous. You're smarter than that (and her).

And yes, BHO's proven he's more qualified to hold the office than Grandpa Munster and Brainless. Would love to debate it with you further (not like it needs it), but I have a meeting to get to...;)

I was never keeping score but, relatively speaking, I am pretty sure that BHO has made just as many goofy comments as Palin has. But, the media doesn't harp on it as much, and so it seems like less.

She was taking the hits while Obama became the one who could do no wrong and say no wrong.

Whatever, you are certainly entitled to believing that Obama is smarter than Palin. But, she is far from being as dumb as a box of rocks.

Staying true to your party, I wouldn't expect you to give a strong, attractive, woman any more credit than that.

As you're far too well aware from my posts over the years, sometimes I tend to speak before I think. ;)

Dude, I completely disagree with the 9/11 conspiracy so let's not go there. That's NOT fact. It's merely speculation and paranoia.

Regardless to your stance regarding Iraq. Sometimes a call to arms is what's necessary. Bush had the balls to 86 Sadaam whereas Barry's course of action would've been talking about it?

In my heart, I truly fear what things would be like if we didn't stand up?

Talking only goes so far and Barry's recent plan of deploying 17,000 more troops overseas proves the point. ;)

Great one. Whole-heartedly support this effort. 100%. Full on. Let's save some people.

starting the closing of GitMo

All he did was say he was going to close it within one year. That year passed and nothing has changed. This is not an achievement.

opening a positive intelligent dialog with other countries

Working great with Iran. Again, this is not an achievement.

attempting to dig us out of the mess his predecessor left

Blaming Bush....again, whilst spending our futures into oblivion. This is not an achievement.

his reaction time to disasters

Are you speaking of Haiti, or the Harvard professor disaster? I give more props to the speech writers and camera crews setting up so quickly. Not how fast Barack got in front of them to read to us. Still, not an achievement.

Who the fuck didn't already know or expect that? I always thought the people on the left were a little wacko but at least their inanity was inventive. This drivel is such a boring disappointment. At least the muslim extremist jokes were entertaining.

The only amusing part in all of this is seeing you guys try to defend the indefensible, to see you all get fed their bullshit by the spoonful. And after a while even that loses its luster as you guys bicker over who is fucking you over harder get your ankles held back behind your ears while they take turns anally raping you.

And after all of that, you spend your time arguing over who reads off a teleprompter, who is an airhead or whether or not someone should be called Barry. Incredible.

JUNEAU, Alaska – Sarah Palin is lashing out at the portrayal of a character with Down syndrome on the Fox animated comedy "Family Guy." In a Facebook posting headlined "Fox Hollywood — What a Disappointment," the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee and current Fox News contributor said Sunday night's episode felt like "another kick in the gut." Palin's youngest son, Trig, has Down syndrome.

The episode features the character Chris falling for a girl with Down syndrome. On a date, he asks what her parents do.
She replies: "My dad's an accountant, and my mom is the former governor of Alaska."

Palin resigned as Alaska governor last summer.

Palin's oldest daughter, Bristol, also was quoted on her mother's Facebook page, calling the show's writers "heartless jerks."

"When you're the son or daughter of a public figure, you have to develop thick skin. My siblings and I all have that, but insults directed at our youngest brother hurt too much for us to remain silent," she is quoted as saying.
"If the writers of a particularly pathetic cartoon show thought they were being clever in mocking my brother and my family yesterday, they failed," Bristol Palin added in the Monday posting. "All they proved is that they're heartless jerks."

Palin wrote that she'd asked her daughter what she thought of the show and Bristol's reply was "a much more restrained and gracious statement than I want to make about an issue that begs the question: When is enough enough?"

This isn't the first time Palin has spoken out over an attack, real or perceived, on her family. Last year, she condemned a joke David Letterman made about her daughter, for which he later apologized.

A "Family Guy" publicist didn't immediately return an e-mail seeking comment.

Dude, I completely disagree with the 9/11 conspiracy so let's not go there. That's NOT fact. It's merely speculation and paranoia.

Dude, seriously - where did you get "conspiracy theory" out of HIS ADMINISTRATION NOT PAYING ATTENTION to y'know, security memos that said "Al-Qeada determined to use planes to attack America"?!? Never mind conspiracy theories, the FACT is they dropped the ball. No speculation there.

Regardless to your stance regarding Iraq. Sometimes a call to arms is what's necessary. Bush had the balls to 86 Sadaam whereas Barry's course of action would've been talking about it?

In my heart, I truly fear what things would be like if we didn't stand up?

Talking only goes so far and Barry's recent plan of deploying 17,000 more troops overseas proves the point. ;)

I actually support deploying more troops in an area they should have been in in the first place. But that place was not, never WAS Iraq. Fact.

No debate Sadaam was a douchebag, but he had NO connection to 9/11, and to keep pretending otherwise is bullshit.

Yeah, it does take balls to squander American lives and misdirect a war effort for no relevant or legitimate reason other than "he tried ta kill mah daddy" - agree with you there.

I do think she over-reacted to Emanuel's use of the word. I do not think his intend was to make fun of anyone with a true disability.

But, knowing how sensitive of an issue it is for many families, ALL people should try to use a different word.

I once called my self "retarded" because I got lost somewhere. I was trying to read a map (which I am terrible at) and I said "I am retarded when it comes to reading maps." You would have thought I said the most horrible thing in the world. One of the men in my car had child with Downs Syndrome child and he went OFF on me. I apologized over and over and was nearly in tears, because I felt so bad and was so embarrassed.

Later, I thought about it and I think he did over react, as did Palin.

But, I will never use that word again because now I know how it is perceived.

And now it's time for Deep Thoughts...

By Maxipad

Fuck, I didn't just poke some fun at my nickname did I? Sacrilege and who'd of thunk it? Lol

Fuck, I KNEW this shitstorm was coming...

Last night, as my day settled down I did my usual routine. I walked my dog, got into my jammies, made my cup of sleepy time tea, turned on the television and sat back to relax. Well and to my surprise there was the latest Sarah Palin controversy on the news. As I watched, the thought occurred to me about how the haters (yes, you do HATE the woman!!!) at my beloved Army were going to somehow and someway spin the story whilst defending it and casting the blame towards her.

Well and as predictable as it is if I touch a flame, I'll inevitably get burned, certain yayhoos did not disappoint and came through just as I thought and with flying colors.

I KNEW FOR A FACT that you'd all somehow spin it by using that fat fucking imbecile Rush Limbaugh's continuous empty soul and lack of character as a reference point. :rolleyes:

Now and just to be sure and to clarify that this isn't my new opinion just to defend Ms. Palin, here's a little ditty that I stated just yesterday...

I'm thrilled that you mentioned this Nick cos I think (and ALWAYS have!!!) Rush Limbaugh is an utterly, classless, piece of shit!!! :mad:

Dolemite motherfuckers!!! Eat that and Smile!!! :hitch:

K, now let's get on with it, shall we?

Just as I knew the Limbaugh comments were unavoidable, I also knew that Fox would be brought up. Again, you guys never fail to disappoint. :)

Here are a couple of your examples just so the typical "I didn't say that" or "I meant this" b.s. is out in the open for all to see and read. Well, maybe not Nick cos apparantly his interperetation of English differs from mine? :p

OK, that might've been a low blow...:biggrin: but wait, she should love it, I came from a FAUX sister network...is that like "friendly fire"? :lmao:

She'd defend it, like she did when he used the "R" word 40+ times...she only makes an issue of it when she thinks she can make political hay out of it.

Wonder what she would of said if Rush made a cartoon making fun of Down Syndrome:biggrin:

Here's my take. First of all, there is no defending Family Guy on this one. I know it's a no holds barred show. In fact and back when I used to get loaded, I used to laugh at the show and watch it. However and now that I'm a sober old man, I just don't find that sophomoric humor so funny anymore. Where this one was utterly tasteless is the fact that they specifically mentioned “the former governor of Alaska.” I don't give a fuck who you are but that draws the line.

Secondly, I'm going to address Palin's lack of response to that fatass Limbaugh's use of the “R Word” as it's now being called. She never once fucking defended the prick. To my knowledge, she didn't even comment and YES, that's wrong!!! Especially when she did go completely batshit over Mr. Emanuel's one time misuse of the word. I think she overreacted. As usual, I'll call a spade a spade as it applies. Hence, for Palin to call for Emanuel's termination she should have been just as vocal regarding that cocksucker Limbaugh as well. JMAO. Personally, I've wanted Limbaugh's head dating all the way back to 1991 when he played Queen's "Another one bites the Dust" the day Freddy Mercury died. He's a classless oxygen thieving cunt!!!

However and unlike you bashers justifying Family Guy by mentioning Fox, Emanuel and Limbaugh, I can see where a lot of the time she doesn't want either her family nor herself to endure any more media thrashing. Yes, she's chosen a career that's thrust her directly into the public spotlight and along with that comes the inevitable scrutiny along with praise. Regardless, going after one's physically challenged BABY is just plain and fucking WRONG no matter how you spin it!!!

Seriously and no matter what your political thoughts differ from the woman, attacking her child is fucked up.

With that being said, I'm OUT!!! (just this post, you guys aren't that fortunate that I'd ever pull a bye bye thread. lol ;) )

LMAO @ the pic.

Too true.

Here lies the difference amongst all of us. I know for a fact that both you and I are willing to openly state that Bush made several fuckups as the President. In fact, I was not very happy with his performance during his second term along with some of his first. See, it's not that difficult for me to admit that people are human, they make mistakes and YES a lot of the time, they fuck up and even suck at their jobs.

Here's the difference. Whereas we can admit certain faults, the majority of Barry's kin just cannot admit that he's fucked up a lot of things.

Sorry to break it to you folks but the man cannot walk on water, heal the sick by touch, part the sea, etc. Contrary to popular opinion, he's just a human being like the rest of us, capapble of doing good things along with fucking up things. Believe me, the sooner you all come to grasps with this, the better off you'll be. Trust me, you'll thank me for it one day. :)

Find the full segment of the bit quoted in the FORD thread I directed DG to...Palin did INDEED defend Rush's statement. She only objects to the term when she thinks it's politically advantageous. The only "context" that concerns her is if the term was used by a Dem or Repub. I've read SHE has referred to Trig as her "retarded baby".

And for the record, I did say the Family Guy thing was seemingly a low blow. ;)

Personally, I found Rush's use of the word far more offensive because it was so intentional. (and repeated)

I think Emmanuel's was ignorantly innocent. Certainly nothing to be fired over. A nothing like the "N" word as someone had compared it. He should have been spoken to and told to stop using the phrase. It's fine to want to make an example to teach a lesson, but to say he should be removed was overboard.

family guy does not hold back much that is true. but those writers even make fun of themselves, all's fair type of thing. if you walk up to anybody and ask them who sarah palin is, i'm sure someone would say "she's the former governer of alaska" if asked about her family someone would eventually say " she has a down's syndrome child" or "her grandson's father is in playgirl". it is common knowledge and mcfarlane puts it in a cartoon for christ's sake. i don't see the "unforgivable obomination" .

I don't think all is fair when Palin has clearly has spoken out about her family being the brunt of jokes. They could have/should have passed on this.

It will be interesting to see what is done about this because even though it was on Fox, I don't think she is going to let it go. I think she is getting to that point where nothing is going to be let go. Too many people are taking shots and it's just wrong.

What I don't get is how all of his detractors TRY to project some "Messiah complex" bullshit on to his supporters; it's not at ALL realistic. You guys make all these "walk on water/part the red sea" references and it's just lame. Much like the "Barry" thing -makes your collective arguments even more weak.

I think everyone who's considered a supporter (here at least) has indicated they're not 100% satisfied with his performance thus far. Is he anywhere near the EPIC FAIL level of his predecessor at the same time in his 1st term? Not even close. But yeah, he could be doing more, and kicking more Republican ASS as opposed to trying to compromise with the party of NO.

Even commentators like Bill Maher are calling on him to be tougher, he said something to the effect of "Say whatever about Bush and Cheney - yeah, they had HORRIBLE ideas, but they pushed them through whether people LIKED them or not."

And let's not forget the Repukes who were decrying ANY criticism of Bush during his dual fiasco terms "Unpartriotic", "UnAmerican", and sometimes they'd go so far as to call it TREASON, when it was none of the above.

Or apparently you're arrogant and filled with hubris enough to believe that only people who agree with you have brains?

that doesn't mean that I agree with anything else Hitler ever did or said or that I would ever want him as my President.

That's just dumb.

Goody! You think Hitler was right to be a faggy-pantsed teetotaler, nonsmoking cunt, but wrong to kill millions. How nice.

Did you get my point that the idea of who smokes and who doesn't has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with how good or horrid a person/leader can be?

I think everyone who's considered a supporter (here at least) has indicated they're not 100% satisfied with his performance thus far. Is he anywhere near the EPIC FAIL level of his predecessor at the same time in his 1st term? Not even close.

Lets play the Presidential Approval Tracker Game and see how "not even close" they were.

On day 366 of their presidency Obama was at a 50% approval while Bush was at a 82%. I guess Hale was right...not even close.

82% was because of 9/11

If you're unaware of that, that's just sad.

Check his AR on Sept. 10th

Willer points to the aftermath of the Sep. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States as an example of the tendency. After Sept. 11, 2001, approval of Bush's job performance jumped from 51 percent on Sept. 10, 2001, to 86 percent on Sept. 15, 2001, in a Gallup Poll

Wow. What a classic exercise in bullshit and taking things out of context. Bush was at an 82% because he was floating on the post-911 feeling of genuine good will amidst crisis. Most Republicans would be embarrassed to mention this...

Obama's numbers are similar too the first Bush's and Reagan's in recent memory...

firstly, I stated yesterday that it would have been wiser for W to excuse himself and go to a place where he could talk openly and find out WTF was going on, so that he could make some decisions on what needed to be done next. Sitting in a classroom surrounded by children, did not make sense to me.

However, if he was sitting for only 7 minutes, because the people who were informing him of what was going on also said (something to the effect of) "sit tight, and stay calm, until we have more information", I would defend either President for doing so.

C'mon Sharky, let's go back to when it first happened, you know prior to the shoulda, coulda, woulda's of the present, mmmmmK?

Hindsight is 20/20 and YES things could have been handled differently. I'll even admit that. However, we had NEVER experienced ANYTHING of that magnitude thus we were all in shock. From what I recall, even Air Force One was grounded for a bit that fateful morning?

So and seriously, it's nothing but pure speculation that OBAMA would have done things better or differently. Let's hope to God that he's never put in such a situation.

Also and only my opinion, many people within this forum would shit on W. if he'd have jumped up and screamed at the kindygartners. According to many in here W. nmatter what. Fucked if he do, fucked if he don't!!!

Hey, I'm still willing for OBAMA to surprise the shit out of me and give this country the "hope" that he's been promising for such a long time. However and until I see it happening first hand, I'll continue to criticize his poor job performance thus far.

Actually, I think most people here (who haven't just arrived in the last few days) would describe me as something close to a centrist.

More like Switzerland with a briefcase.

Here, let's save some time and post Brie and DG's canned responses in advance:

"Cigarettes!"

"Barry"

"Birth Certificate"

"Palin are NOT stoopid!"

:lmao:

I'm sorry. I didn't realize those upset you so much.

Too much credit is why we're technically a third world nation now too, ironic aint it?

I thought he was a complete fuck up for waiting in a classroom for 18 minutes after the events of 9/11 began?

I guess most of the country disagreed with you guys there.

Seeing as his popularity ratings are in the toilet now, perhaps not?

Yeah, umm....

Does Pearl Harbor ring a bell?

Bueller?

:gulp:

anyone, anyone?

I actually recall TV talking head military analysts saying that Pearl Harbor was worse in many respects, as although the death toll was higher in NYC in September of 2001, an attack on one's military forces represent a much greater threat...

Who knows? But 9/11 had limited, temporary impact on the US economy...

Fuck, after 9-11? Are we fucking kidding ourselves here? Pee Wee Herman could have given that speech and he would have had the same approval numbers Bush did. It's not like we weren't all there and feeling an EXTREME surge of patriotism and getting behind the President who promised to bring them to justice.

Yeah, newsflash, tragedy can skew numbers in a VERY specific direction when it comes to approval ratings for Presidents who promise to avenge us during a moment of united crisis.

Basic sociology here.

Kinda fucks up Oprah's claim when OBAMA was first elected that "This country hasn't been this united since 9/11." doesn't it?

Good to know what Oprah thinks. Can you please tell us Kelly Ripa's and Regis Philbin's take on it? Thanks in advance. :)

Dear God, you are certifiable. :rolleyes:

Goddamn right! The rational reaction in an insane world is insanity!

Seriously, the way you spin things is beyond dumb. Please forgive me, I neither poses a psychology degree nor am I mechanically inclined but aren't you putting words in her mouth? Or is it just your usual rhetoric of interpreting English a bit differently than the rest of us?

LOL I'm putting words in YOUR mouth? Oh, okay...

Now and because she thinks Obama lacks will power cos of (by his own admission) cannot quit smoking, she's somewhere typed (link please cos I've missed it?) that she's moving up to Idaho to join the arian nation or some other nazi group, engaged to the imperial grand dragon wizard dungeon master(or whatever the fuck they're called?) and is proud of Hitler and the holocaust?

Funny, but I never brought up the topic of racism actually...

I was talking in terms of pure leadership and ethics as reflected by personal proclivities. But perhaps we've made a breakthrough here?

then may I suggest counseling?...you just went off like a complete nut, seriously...do you read what you type? why are you so obsessed with this?

You first...

But I hope you're not "fucking psychotic" (in your own words, lest we forget who started the personal shit-fest for posterity sake)...

FYI, I could care less that you eat meat and you're friends don't...eating meat is not the sign of weakness, and you are not my President. I could care less how hostile your dinner conversations are with your "friends".

I never said you did, but like many things, my comments flew over your head as you're obviously taking this all WAAAAYYYY TOO SERIOUSLY...

And I can agree with one thing that Hitler believed in and not agree that it was OK to kill people. He was a sick guy, what can I say? You brought him up and then expect me to defend him?

I do happen to agree (with most rational people) that leaders should not be weak. Leaders should not be butt-junkies. Leaders should be able to put their mind to something and then do it without failing over and over again.

LOL You sound like the frustrated wife in American Beauty. I wish I could believe in things so simple and trivial... :biggrin:

Maybe Nick should join Nate in group counseling cos you seem to have caused both of their collective meltdowns?

What power you must have, no?

First, you got Nate so fired up that he wanted to "smack" you and now Nick's so beside himself he's halucinating that you're a nazi!!!

Maybe you should take your sycophantic balls out of her purse. Incidentally, I never called DG a "Nazi," I was merely making a point about leadership and "weakness."

Frankly, I think it's offensive and presumptuous to call smoking a "weakness" of some sort. It implies a smear on character I remember NUMEROUS instances of militant fuckhead non-smokers giving me MORE than enough of that shit. Don't like smoking? Fine. Going to make presumptions about what kind of PERSON somebody is because of it? Go fuck yourself. I don't care who you are, and more to the point, I don't care who you fucking THINK you are.

And that's all I have to say about it.

Posting pics of a man looking concerned (or even shocked or surprised) that his country is under attack is as weak as weak can be. How should he have looked?? Who the fuck cares?? he was surrounded by little kids. You think they needed a poker face? Seriously, hale, what was your point?

I couldn't believe you took the time to find those pics. They say nothing.

After Bush was told about 911 in the classroom you could see a fly enter his right ear and leave his left. You can't find a blanker expression on a human being's face.

and...mix it up a little. say this

Barry doesn't clip his toenails enough. It shows a lack of hygiene.

Try saying he said some things during his campaigning speech that didn't come to pass. Do you understand that that's about his job?

Bush had the Archies on his Ipod.
