3. Imaginary Obama (played by Samuel L. Jackson)
The one who calls stray "Blue Dog" Senators up to the Oval Office for one-on-one "briefings".

"Now answer me this question douchebag.

Who's the mutha-f*king President?" B-)

5. Damn right! More "Samuel L. Jackson", less "Sidney Poitier"!
Jack Nicholson as Jimmy Hoffa, a good mix!

It's time for the action hero, not the "ac-tor."

7. I'm intrigued no-one votes for his presidential campaign.

Lots of people liked how he ran before and during the primaries, and a fair few like what he's done since he took office, but no-one seems to have a high opinion of his campaign against McCain-Palin. Any ideas why?

25. Of course
you did. And of course you've shown you'll never get behind the man so why should he waste his time trying to appease the Hillary crowd? They didn't like him then, don't like him now and won't like him next week and he's smart enough to know that.

Because he needed our votes last November and he will need them again in 2012.

34. Yeah, you've got him
by the balls right? Continue on with your hatred of all things Obama and you're constant defending and comapring all things Clinton.

One thing though, you'll never read a word from me slamming Hillary Clinton because I don't play that game. Had she won I'd be here today defending her against any unwarranted attacks the same way I do Obama.

You on the other hand can't wait to find a negative article to post about Obama and you waste no time posting here when you find it.

Experience DOES matter in real life. Maybe in politics we like to pretend that it doesn't, but in the end it always does.

It was supposed to be an example of Hillary Clinton's battle tested experience ...

29. Your guy won, so what?
As for asserting herself in Congo, good for her!!! Let me know if Kissinger and Powell were ever asked when serving as SOS what their wives and a basketball player thought of a trade agreement and not what THEY thought of an issue and then mock away.

35. As usual, you are deliberately mischaracterizing what happened
And I don't give a damn if that man asked her to pole dance for him, his being a sexually clueless asshole or even if his question was mistranslated has NOTHING to do with her being Secretary of State of the most powerful country. She could have and SHOULD have handled that situation much differently.

I don't even think the incident was that big of a deal. But trying to pretend that it was the Congolese man's fault and that Hillary bore no blame for her behavior is so stupid it's absurd.

Everyone has their moments, but I'll bet that it's going to be the last time that someone asks her for her husband's opinion and not hers on any subject.

Edited on Fri Aug-21-09 10:49 PM by Number23
I respect Hillary. Love what she's doing in support of the President and just love HER period.

You could probably learn a thing (or ten) from her in the "support the President" regard and probably many, many others.

41. I guess that we should all pretend that we are one big happy family
and that we all think alike. Actually, the left is probably far more upset with Obama than the moderates.

I'm not damaging the Clintons anymore than someone who doesn't like them damages Obama. It's a big party, everyone is entitled to their opinion.

They should be at healthcare townhalls shouting down the freepers.

23. You could simplify your poll.
Only two choices are necessary:

Pre-January "I'm-lying-my-scrawny-ass-off-to-get-your-vote" Obama

Post-January neo-con "You-should-have-known-I-was-lying" Obama

27. More utter
bullshit from the hater crowd. What did he lie about? He said he'd end the Iraq war in 16 to 19 months, it's happening. He said Afghanistan was a just war and would continue it, it's happening. He said he'd get stem cell research moving in the right direction, it happened. He said he'd fight for equal pay for women, it happened. He said he'd expand SCHIP, it happened. He said he'd get health care reform and it's going to happen.

There are many more but it's a waste of time listing them as you'd rather just sit here daily and make shit up to further your agenda.

31. This is why the far left fringe........
is really starting to get on my damn nerves, Baltoman991. They expect some fucking all knowing Zeus in what? Seven months? How the hell do you build up the economy and healthcare in SEVEN MONTHS?

I hate pessimistic people, they are a drag. This is why I can respect the lunatic Freepers for having solidarity.

They routinely accuse people who don't hate Obama like they do of treating Obama like the "Messiah" yet it is they who are the ones expecting miracles from him!

52. "Miracles"? That's crap.
I expected a Democratic President who promised health care reform (and even his own crappy plan offered way more real reform than we're "debating" now), with enormous approval ratings, a huge majority in the House and a filibuster-proof Senate to actually try to implement health care reform.

Instead, he folded before the hand was even dealt and has been madly backpedaling ever since. He's either incompetent or he's not on our side. One or the other is true.

That is sad. I haven't seen any lie. Damn, the man has only been in office for seven months and you expect miracles.

With "progressives" like these who in the hell needs Freepers?

53. I prefer the one who said "Enough!"
Maybe that was a fill-in-the-blank moment for me: enough torture, enough illegal wire-tapping, enough rendition, enough Iraq War, enough Afghanistan war, enough gouging by the healthcare industry, enough lobbyist controlled policies, enough bickering to pass legislation. I could go on and on but these problems persist.
