The DUers who promised to leave the party every time Obama was supposed to have cut SS?

10. I'm not quoting anybody but you know that.
It's called sarcasm. Learn to understand it.

17. There's no reason why it can't be both.
Maybe you don't understand petulance either.

19. WEll as Benjamin Disraeli said: "He has to learn that petulance is no sarcasm, and that insolence is
is not invective"

Look it up.

24. yeaaaa except that Sarcasm uses irony to mock in a generally satirical fashion
why Petulance is more or less just being sullen or capricious..

Sarcasm requires some a side of satire, maybe even some intelligence..


Petulance is just something angry children do.

2. Unfortunately, I don't go to links from folks that just recently showed up.....
and include little to allow one to know what it is that they will find
once they click on the link...although, I'm sure that some will!
but Welcome! :hi:

11. How would you know? You inplied upthread that you didn't go to the linked article.
I agree that an OP should include something besides a relatively blind link. But how can you take a pass and then opine about an article you haven't seen?

20. Wow that is incredibly lame.
What part do you think she's weighing in on, the "Ooooooo!" or the "I'm impressed!"? That's all there is, you know.

You're not doing Frenchie any favors, she does a lot better job of defending herself.

:hi:

21. Lol whatever..If you can't pickup on what the implied meaning of the OP was
that's your own failing.

It was meant to be a pile on... a non substantive bs post meant to "pile on" criticism.

It's amazing what language can do. You can say things without actually saying them. You can imply, allude, insinuate, suggest..it's crazy what you can do with just a couple of words..

:hi:

25. What was it you picked up on, the "Ooooooo!" or the "I'm impressed!"?
What implied meaning could you possibly get out of that without a crystal ball and chicken bones? You're funny.

26. yea ok. I'm sorry if you have a hard time picking up on things..
especially the sarcasm gif under all that..


But you go right ahead and be obtuse. I guess wit and wry humor must fly right by you too....

36. Geez!
I had no intention of starting a digital fist fight.

To be clear:
After sitting through his speeches multiple times, which are great oratory, then watching the action diverge to a point where it has little resemblance to what was said, I'm more than a bit skeptical. I'm not saying he's been totally ineffective, feckless or purposefully dishonest. There have been good things, (Lily Ledbetter, college loans, CFPB, etc.). However, on most major issues where he's pretty clearly articulated a position, (PO, Afghanistan, Gitmo, SS/Medicare, environment, etc.), word and deed don't jibe.
