22. So you are saying that you predicted something that never happened? I don't see that
Edited on Wed Aug-10-11 07:57 PM by madinmaryland
any checkmate has happened, unless you think Boner & turtleman checkmated the President.

BTW, can you stop bogarting and pass it around!

5. ROFLMAO!!
you're kidding right? Obama's checkmate is to give the cons 98% of what they want, offer up social security and medicare and destroy our economy in the process??

That's a checkmate?

wow. I really don't know what to say to that

8. It would be 98% if you take John Boehner's word for it.

9. UNREC ... Because of the divisive nature of the OP ....
You set up this 'checkmate' scenario last week .... Yet it was always just a cheap device to inflame .... We all know it ...

I love the fact that the GOP numbers are dropping, as they should ... Yet it is highly doubtful that it was due to some extraordinary strategy cooked up in a White House basement ...

11. So now, saying the Dem POTUS has 'checkmated' the GOP is DIVISIVE.
:rofl:

Crazy.

Perhaps dragging their obstructionist antics into the light of day over an issue they MADE an issue paid off. But don't give the President an iota of credit.

Unreal.

17. No .... The OP is well known ....
Nuff said ..... I do not have to answer to you about my opinions ....

BTW: I am and have been a strong Obama supporter, but I have sufficient reasons to have changed my opinion, and become less of a fan ....

26. what exactly is divisive in the text of THIS OP?
It is simply one sentence praising a Democratic president at the expense of the GOP.


Your slip is showing.

27. The 'checkmate' reference goes back to another nonsensical post
There is a continuity between that post and this ....

Hey ... guess what ? ... I am allowed to have an opinion ....

and yes: I will be voting FOR Obama if he is the nominee ..... But do I really have to kiss his ass too ?

In earlier days, I would have ..... but no more ....

I am not sure what it is you are seeing, but I am not wearing a slip ...

30. I would think it was more nonsensical if there wasn't continuity.

If people get so angry at me defending Obama, I would say that they are already divided.

14. Even if their dropping numbers were a result of WH strategy
it still would not be a checkmate. Not even endgame. Words have meanings.

10. Checkmate is a word which means 'final victory'.
It means one has won the game, not that the opponent is currently less popular with the crowd than you are.

21. he's not done yet
we have the second round of deficit reduction coming up, the economy will tank even further and Obama will brilliantly maneuver so he doesn't get the blame.

Then it will be time to :party:
