Ted Rall goes batshit on Obama
Heh heh heh. Here's one Kool-Aid drinking progressive moron that left the reservation:
We expected broken promises. But the gap between the soaring expectations that accompanied Barack Obama’s inauguration and his wretched performance is the broadest such chasm in recent historical memory. This guy makes Bill Clinton look like a paragon of integrity and follow-through.
From health care to torture to the economy to war, Obama has reneged on pledges real and implied. So timid and so owned is he that he trembles in fear of offending, of all things, the government of Turkey. Obama has officially reneged on his campaign promise to acknowledge the Armenian genocide. When a president doesn’t have the nerve to annoy the Turks, why does he bother to show up for work in the morning?
Obama is useless. Worse than that, he’s dangerous. Which is why, if he has any patriotism left after the thousands of meetings he has sat through with corporate contributors, blood-sucking lobbyists and corrupt politicians, he ought to step down now — before he drags us further into the abyss.
Wow.
Ha...now's when they realize he's a piece a shit just like all the rest. Of course, what's troubling is that the SOB isn't extreme enough for them. Like he hasn't done enough damage already for those miserable bastards. Lets hope the internecine warfare continues...
This does nothing for me. I get no thrill if a kook leftist isn't satisfied that Obama is not left enough for him.
No, I will celebrate when a reasonable liberal or moderate sees that Obama is dangerous. I still cannot cope with how easily so many thinking people fell under Obama's spell and cannot be awakened from it.
I agree with Ted Rall that President Obama has been a terrible disappointment. But he will eventually come around and give you duplicitous and hypocritical little Limbaughs what you deserve.
I love Rush Limbaugh. Neither he nor I is duplicitous or hypocritical. I am a true blue conservative.
What is your interest in writing here? Why does it thrill you so to say insulting things to people on a website you don't agree with just because you don't agree?
What is it you want for this country that Obama is going to come around and provide for you? What is it we deserve?
Why such gnashing of teeth? I probably don't agree with you but that doesn't mean I wish you harm. No, what I wish you is love and a dawning of intelligence.
>>I refer here to Obama’s plan for “preventive detentions.” If a cop or other government official thinks you might want to commit a crime someday, you could be held in “prolonged detention.”<<
"Preventive Detentions" is like castro's "Pre-criminal Dangerous Law," wherein anyone can be arrested without committing a "crime" if he is deemed capable of committing that crime.
Every day I realize more and more that we are living in nothing more and nothing less than a Fabian Socialist Society.
I asked someone why my book group said that under Bush we were losing our civil rights but now they show no fear of losing them under this president. The answer was so simple. Because this time it's their guy and they don't fear him.
When Bush chose to hold people who were captured, I felt no fear and I supported him because he was my guy and I trusted his choices over who he felt were threats to us in this perilous world.
Now those who love and trust Obama feel the same way.
Obama claims he will protect us, not pick up people just to show his power, and examine each case to be sure we are not releasing terrorists or holding individuals who we feel are not a danger. Well, let's wait to see how this works out.
Now that Obama is president and sees the daily briefings, he's getting the taste of how it is easy as a campaigner who wants the votes of those who love the song Imagine to make broad statements about the egregiousness of the Bush administration, but he has responsibility for our safety and it is not so easy to act on that silly rhetoric when the ball is in his court.
It won't take long, Rayarena, to see if Obama will be responsible or tyrannical. On this I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt for now. Let's just be vigilant as we watch this unfold and when he does the wrong thing, let's call him on it loud and clear.
