Edit

I pretty much agree with you. It’s hard to because I am so fully angered by his conduct of his Administration and his kowtowing to the moneyed interests who, imo, brought him to where he is today -POTUS.

I give him a big thumbs up on the comments.

Hey, you clowns, we are “at war”, aren’t we?
Here’s three guys who actually were at war, and who left us while you bozos were cavorting on vacation:
*Staff Sgt. David H. Gutierrez, 35, of San Francisco, Ca., died Dec. 25 at Kandahar Air Field, Afghanistan, of wounds suffered when insurgents attacked his dismounted patrol with an improvised explosive device in Howz-e Madad. photo
* Spc. Jason M. Johnston, 24, of Albion, N.Y., died Dec. 26 in Arghandab, Afghanistan, of wounds suffered when insurgents attacked his unit with an improvised explosive device.photo
*Staff Sgt. Ronald J. Spino, 45, of Waterbury, Conn., died Dec. 29 in Bala Morghab, Afghanistan, of wounds suffered when he was shot while unloading supplies.photo

“None of the e-mails [18 e-mails Major Hasan exchanged with radical Yemeni cleric Awlaki] specifically mentioned Hasan’s plans for a shooting rampage at Fort Hood, but because he was a member of the military the FBI showed them to a Pentagon investigator with the note “comm” written on it. To the FBI that meant “commissioned officer.” The Pentagon investigator thought it meant “communication.”

As a result, there were no red flags that an army officer was e-mailing a radical cleric suspected of being a talent spotter for al Qaeda.”

By the way, Leon Panetta, the political appointee who heads the CIA, and Stephen Kappes, CIA deputy director, also didn’t return from their vacations after the Xmas incident. Panetta didn’t even come back to Circus Central (Washington) when seven CIA agents were killed on December 30 in the new central front of the war on terror, Afghanistan. Why interrupt your vacation, when the commander-in-chief is a proven patsy for the Repubs?

That’s my fault, Imhotep, as I’ve had some tech hiccups tonight. I’m hoping the admin will catch up, as I’ve corrected the quote and it just needs to *finally* show up. (It was correct from the get go on my YouTube channel, for what that’s worth.) I apologize.

Also to democratz, who had a comment held. Same problem w/ admin. Should be okay’d now.

Carry on, folks…

Please note what I said that you seem to be responding to:

“But YOU and your posts seem to reflect precisely the adulatory and myopic followers who brought Obama to office.”

I didn’t say you supported Obama or when – I said the rationale of your posts seems flawed IMO.

Every day in every way imhopless shows him/her/itself to be a bigger wankjob!

And Plus, have you seen McCain these days the man is getting more senile by the hour. So, my vote was not wasted between Obama and McCain/Palin ticket I made the right choice. I was never a follower of Obama. I find those who are now taken his Presidency to high extreme to ex-obsessed fans. I do know people who can’t accept criticism of Obama at all and I’m not one of them…In fact I keep pointing out the man have issues. But, the constant pointing out his flaws will get us no where at this point. That’s why I have accepted this just way he will be until…we get a new face in his place by 2012. In the mean time I plan on enjoying my life to it’s fullest and not waste it worrying about if the Dems will lose the house & senate this year ( if they lose it, so what they get what they deserve).

If Obama doesn’t win 2012 my life will still go on and most of the problems of the world will too. That is how I look at things right now….life is to short to be angry over what politicians always do “screwing us over” they have been doing that for a 100 years now.

Of all the current movements Ron Paul and his followers seem to be the most anti-war. He rails against the military industrial complex often. He is against a secret FED too. He makes sense often and then he veers off into severe libertarianism combined with prolife which is contrarian to me.

Put another way, if this guy had been kept off the plane on Xmas there would be no crisis, no press conferences, no speeches. The government screwed up and failed to do its job, but the president hasn’t fired anybody, he just declares war on al Qaeda. I call it passing the buck, not stopping it. He should have declared war on the business-as-usual intelligence community, which has added yet another chapter to its long record of failure.

We have met the enemy and he is us, you might say. Thank you Pogo.

“MArie205
I don’t remember Bush ever accepting blame for anything or any Republican. I’m really starting to feel sorry for Obama who seems to attract idol like followers that allow no mistakes.”

Huh? I think Obama was elected because he (and no other Democratic candidate) was Bush. It really doesn’t matter if Bush accepted responsibility – the American people expect responsibility – thus the election of a Democratic ticket. The idol like followers are the great number of the folks who assured his selection as the candidate of the Democratic Party….and his election as POTUS.

Even a saint would never please everyone. But YOU and your posts seem to reflect precisely the adulatory and myopic followers who brought Obama to office.

No reason to feel sorry for Obama – he got what he wanted, when he wanted it and at little investment in real work from him. Just a good dog and pony show. We know he’s good at that – I’d like to see him kick his game up a notch.

I wish the whole country would put Cheney on extinction an old behaviorist tecnique. Completely ignore the behavior as if it does not exist,eventually it goes away.

We all know they screwed up and he admit to that in his press conference by accepting the blame…What more else do people want him to do at this point?!!! I don’t remember Bush ever accepting blame for anything or any Republican. I’m really starting to feel sorry for Obama who seems to attract idol like followers that allow no mistakes. I was never a huge fan of his and now I’m left feeling this guy is getting blamed for stuff he didn’t cause. Oh, well once Obama is replaced I’m sure the public will have a saint in office next….it’s seems you must be 100% perfect in order to please everyone.

The comments on the post above are harsh.

He did meet with President Clinton this morning. I found that very telling.

3 attacks within US borders not even a full year into President Obama’s term.

Segue to Hawaii -

2 yawners of press conferences….don’t bother me I’m on vacation.

One week later…..by god we are at war, at war with Al-Qaeda. What a tool. I don’t believe anything this man says.

Earlier today in the Oval Office…..Bill what should I say this afternoon, I’m in deep trouble. Bill – try to sound like Hillary. That will work.

I’m not so taken in anymore. I grant him that he is great at sensing the public mood and tapping into it. He can tell us EXACTLY what we want to hear, and the tone in which we want to hear it. He is better than anyone else at that. To crown it all he has an excellent speech writer.

Problem is after the speech is given, that’s the end of that and there is no follow through. He washes his hands of the whole business and leaves it to other people to resolve. He moves on.

Now back to topic…
