“we told you so”

in case you come back:

I’m easy to get along with and have had long and sometimes emotional discussion with Hillary supporters who I admire. I get the disappointment.

The thing I push back against is the occasional (maybe 4-5 people) whose posts go something like this: (paraphrasing) “Hillary can do no wrong, she really should have been elected and Obama is a screw up, just look at how horrible is administration is”

with the exception of AnninCa who is never allowed to forget that she voted for a Republican.
____

that combined with her loose use of the facts earn her every push back she gets. Go back to last nights thread if you want a can of crazy courtesy of Ann. Something about Hillary being sent overseas to be put out of the limelight… read it yourself.

I don’t see anything wrong with it either – it’s politics. I do think it’s incorrect, though to say that Obama was neutral.

Sorry if I offended your sensibilities GeoT. I’m old enough to remember Bobby Seale as a Black Panther and was actually unaware that he was a member of Congress until the whole Burris thing popped up. As for the labeling … on this board especially, we are all mostly labeled either a former HRC supporter or Obama supporter with the exception of AnninCa who is never allowed to forget that she voted for a Republican. Funny, we don’t stigmatize Taylor or Betsy as former Republicans, but poor Helen I’m sure, is this close to being labeled a “kitty”.

Denounces Rush Limbaugh’s ‘I Hope He Fails’ Remark

“That was a terrible thing to say,” Robertson responded. “I mean, he’s the president of all the country. If he succeeds, the country succeeds. And if he doesn’t, it hurts us all. Anybody who would pull against our president is not exactly thinking rationally.”

I’ve been doing my new family tree and made more progress in 2 days then I have in years, Ancestry.com has a new set-up and it’s great, easy to use.

when “former Black Panther, Rep. Bobby Seale started to raise a fuss.”

I’ll bet 99% of the crowd would have got it with just plain “Bobby Seale”

what if we all got labeled “former _________ fill in the blank” that could be interesting.

“Obama NEVER stated that he was opposed to the Burris appointment”

___

My favorite pastime is to try and figure out who posters like this were in a prior incarnation… the tone seems familiar.

Well Deary, just a bit full of shi*t aintcha?

I FLATLY DISAGREE with you on both statements.

Actually he did say he was opposed to the Burris appointment on Dec 30:

Obama’s statement reads:

“Roland Burris is a good man and a fine public servant, but the Senate Democrats made it clear weeks ago that they cannot accept an appointment made by a governor who is accused of selling this very Senate seat. I agree with their decision, and it is extremely disappointing that Governor Blagojevich has chosen to ignore it. I believe the best resolution would be for the Governor to resign his office and allow a lawful and appropriate process of succession to take place. While Governor Blagojevich is entitled to his day in court, the people of Illinois are entitled to a functioning government and major decisions free of taint and controversy,” said President-elect Obama.
