American Politics during the Obama Presidency

[Rev BS]

Ah, Herman Cain, as if you did not know that you had some skeletons in your closet, and that they would be flushed out? Or maybe, is it just your escapades are every much your normal everyday behavior and you see nothing wrong with them? Sure, we all have our moments that we are not proud of, but your talk and actions show that you thought that you were indestructible. Obama has not shown us that he is a great president yet, but you don't measured up to him in any category except for bluster. You did not do your people proud.

Just when you think the world is coming to an end a glimmer of hope emerges.

Barney Franks, who single handedly created the real estate bubble and subsequent Obama depression, is going to retire.

Page boys can remove their chastity belts, bend over to pick up loose change and collect their paychecks without first giving Barney a BJ. It is safe to go in the water again.

We are fucked. Can't stop the spending. Every cent sent to Washington DC is money flushed down the toilet. The government puts new meaning to the concept of spending money like drunken sailors.

I say we send everyone in the united States seeking medical care to Cuba. Cuba can do it cheaper than us and apparently, judging from thier life expectancy, better than us. Also, any adverse outcomes would have to be adjudicated in the Cuban court system. That should take care of our malpractice mess.

Also, just for good measure, I think we should start of policy of you were born with your own kidneys, heart, lungs, liver etc. When yours runs out of gas, tough shit. Also a cancer diagnosis should be considered just bad luck. Go to Cuba for 100 year old out of date therapy and quit complaining.

You know Obama's in trouble when Chris "A thrill up my leg" Matthews turns on Obama.

In a Sunday evening interview on MSNBC, 'Hardball' host Chris Matthews spoke candidly not just of his allegiance to the president's agenda, but also of the frustrations many on the professional left are feeling with the administration's lack of leadership.

"There's nothing to root for," Matthews lamented. "What are we trying to do in this administration? Why does he want a second term, would he tell us? What's he going to do in his second term, more of this? Is this it? Is this as good as it gets? Where are we going? Are we going to do something his second term? He's yet to tell us."

"He has not said one thing about what he'the do in his second term," Matthews continued. "He never tells us what he's going to do with reforming our health care systems, Medicare, Medicaid. How he's going to reform Social Security? Is he going to deal with long-term debt? How? Is he going to reform the tax system? How?"

"Just tell us — why are we in this with him? Just tell us, commander. Give us our orders and tell us where we're going. Give us the mission."

"And he hasn't done it" Matthews said, blaming not just the president but those closest to him in the White House.

"I think it's the people around him," Matthews asserted."Too many people around are little kids with propeller hats on their heads. They're all virtual — politics, the social networking. Their idea of running a campaign is a virtual universe of sending emails around to people."

A real campaign, the MSNBC host continued, is "meetings with people. It's forging alliances. It's White House meetings and dinner parties that go on 'till midnight. And he should be sitting late at night now with senators and members of Congress and governors working together on how they're going to win this political fight that's coming in 2012."

Don’t you feel, I think everybody feels an absence of communication from the time he’s been elected. And it’s not about not being left-wing enough or too left. That’s not his problem. It’s connection. And Mrs. Obama, she’s an amazing asset. And what has she done? Obesity? How about connecting with the American people about being Americans? I don‘t think she’s, I don‘t think she’s happy. I don’t think they like being in the White House. The American people can tell that. They don’t seem thrilled at the fact the American people have selected them as our first family. I don’t sense the gratitude, the happiness level, the thrill of being president. Bill Clinton loved being president every minute and you knew it.

I especially like the "And I think it's the people around him,... they're little kids with propellers on their heads."

History repeats itself.

Sounds like he meant:

Our CONGRESSMEN.

Newt Who? Good if you are 70 years old. Maybe. As I projected almost a year ago. It's a one horse race fellas. Romney wins like secretariate many years ago! By 20 lengths. Still waiting for my be*tch Esten to climb out from under his rock and step up and take my bet. LOL. Doubt we will ever see him again on this thread. Best news for america is Romney is a turn around specialist and thats exactly what we need after the great Obomanation experiment. Damn liberals! Never give those fools the keys to the bus, goes off the road every time! Happy Mongering All. Toymann.

Ps. Here's my prediction for November 2012. North of 65 GOP seats in the senate, Romney gets north of 55% of the popular vote and the house has too many GOP seats to count. LOL. Going to take some serious work to get the ship on track but I think Romney will get the job done! GO ROMNEY GO!

A modern day "Lazarus", Newt Gringrich emerged from being written off to lead the GOP polls. The Republican voters, akin to the Madoff investors continue to ignore the "too good to be true" warning signs of the ultimate insider profiteer of Washington politics. Sometimes, you have to wonder if he is the poster boy of capitalism at it's very best or very worst.

A news caster suggested that the Republican Candidates play Jeopardy and see if the can answer the really important questions.

I like it.

What with the Cain debacle and Coach Joe Paterno and Penn State football, it has been a humiliating and dismal few days. What we have seen is INTEGRITY taken to a new low in a society that is obssess with materialism and fame. It is a road that we have taken and it is a road that is being duplicated as other societies raise their standards of living. The frenzy of over-indulgence and glamor at the expense of family values, decency and integrity. It is not just a few individuals, it is where we are as a culture and society in 2011.

And so surrounded by flood waters in Bangkok, I venture out of my soi (lane) in a punt pulled by a bare-footed smiling young country boy who insisted that I only pay him only 10 baht rather than the 20 baht I was going to give him. And so, my day was redeem by a boy untainted by Goldman Sachs, BMWs, I phones, even McDonalds. He was just surviving the forces of nature and bad greedy politicians and multi-nationals.

Now it is the nasty OLD FOLKS that must be made to suffer.

Newest study finds that house holds age 65 and older have more wealth than house holds age 35 and younger.

Could it be the 65 and up folks worked all their life and saved for retirement and the 35 and under have another 30+ years to go to amass those funds? Or is it the 35 and under crowd is lazier, more shiftless, enter the work place later and are spending too much time hanging out at Occupy. Name the city?

What a load of crap!

Here is Obama's latest brainstorm on how to reduce unemployment, make America more competitive and get the economy moving again.

A 15 cent tax on the sale of Christmas Trees. The tax is to be used to improve the image of Christmas trees.

Number one, when did the image of Christmas trees need to be improved and number two, what business is it of the government to try to improve the image of Christmas trees.

I would gladly swap the braindead, milktoast, politically correct Obama we have now for an Obama who was world class sexual predator, pedophile, and serial killer but understood something about how economies function.

[Rev BS]

Herman Cain is toast. I was really looking forward to a black referendum between Cain & Obama, it is time for the minorities to clear the air about getting the shaft. But he was never going to be able to beat Romney anyway. It is amazing that Gingrich can somehow stay relevant, Palin & him are both con artists making a damn good living just playing the political circuit.

I don't know why FOX and some people consider that apologizing would be a sign of weakness. The US government apologized to the Japanese Americans for the segregated camps during WWII. Germany apologized to Jewish people. Nobody think that these countries were weak or humiliated simply because they apologized.

Yes, my fellow colleagues and Patriots of the far right. You really aren't surprised, are you?

Our fascist news channel in the US & the Republican's Party's mouthpiece did it again. Got caught with telling another lie on national television.

Apparently, FOX NEWS was reporting that President Obama had to cancel a trip to Japan, which was planned in advance, where he was going to apologize to the Japanese people for the nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II.

The anchors of the television station were all twisting their heads in disgust. Well, it turns out it was all bull and here is Mr. Goofy himself wagging his tail:

(1) How can a high-school sophomore, who Jennings saw around campus an additional two years after their meeting (in other words, the boy's junior and senior years in high school) have been over the age of consent, as the Huffington Post stipulates.

Never mind that Jennings is long-time gay activist whose personal role model once praised NAMBLA.
