Shame on you Genx, you should know better.

Do we need any more of this garbage?

Rumors Obama wants to tax healthcare benefits...!

Rumors Obama wants to ban guns !

Rumors Obama wants to screw veterans on healthcare

Rumors Obama wants to install Prima Nocte and have sex with every newlywed white woman!



When does this crap end? Are we that desperate for Anti-Obama material that we'll believe anything we read? How about discussing actual news?

Let's make more Obama/messiah references, let's make up shit that this administration might do, let's pull more make-believe heroes out of your asses - gotta hand it to the GOP diehards here, the tactics never change, just the names and dates. Lame - old, lame, and tired - see recent election results, and get over the fact that you lost.

Call out threads are verbotten. Should have left Genx's name out of your little rant.

give me a break - White House leaks are one thing, pulling stuff out of thin air is another.

at least the linked thread had a source for the story

He's soliciting opinions from all people.....unlike the previous administration.

So, when that's the case, you're bound to have people throw out some crazy ideas, like taxing healthcare benefits.

Just because Obama wants to hear from everyone doesn't mean any of this is going to pass - anyone who has a "Suggestion Box" at their place of employment knows that people make some outrageous suggestions, most of which are never implemented.

Personally, I have enough going on right now to keep my outrage meter pegged, can't spare any emotion currently on chasing phantoms, which is what the majority of this crap is.

Don't worry about it, it's not effective.

Well, in defense of the OP he can't call out the moderators here, such as the topic you linked to.

Huh? :confused:

That thread was started as a member, not a moderator. Moderators arent immune from having thier threads judged when they are acting in the capacity of a member, AFAIK.


Nice try to deflect, though.

I will be afraid when the GOP switches up tactics.

Until then they can hoot and hollar and get red in the face and rely on logical fallacies all they want..its entertaining, but lately it hasn't won them a whole lot of elections.

Most of the examples you list were started by people in the Obama admin. They are not "rumours" IMO they are trial balloons floated by the admin to see what the response will be before they make an 'official' proposal. As I've posted elsewhere, Presidents don't like having their proposals fail to pass. This way they can get the feedback without looking bad.

Really? I would be interested in how many recent elections that the Republicans have been the opposition party?

When you have the benefit of being on the attack, like the (D) have for the past 8 years, things start to look up.

I have problems with both parties, but what does that have to do with how people are reacting to floated ideas by this administration?

You call the shit hole your thankfully EX-Traitor In Chief and his incompetent, corrupt gang of traitors, murderers, torturers, war criminals and war profiteers dug for us an "advantage" ??? First, they squandered thousands of American lives, along with our nation's honor and reputation and and trillions of dollars with their war of LIES in Iraq while failing in the war they should already have won in Afghanistan. Then, they doubled down on the bet by recklessly abandoning all oversight and control over their greedy Wall Street robber baron contributors which, in turn, triggered a world wide economic crisis. Along the way, they failed at handling almost every issue they took on throughout their entire dismal eight years in office.

We had plenty to attack and not enough people attacking hard enough. History will record George W. Bush as "The man who broke the world." :thumbsdown: :|

Don't worry! Obama will fix it all. All he has to do is read off the teleprompter whatever President Pelosi tells him to say.

Obama is president now. The American people dont have quite the attention span to look back and continue to hate on Bush.

You need to put the macro down and get into 2009. Bush can no longer write policy.

You obviously have no idea how possible proposals are leaked via White House representatives to gauge public reaction.

If it makes the news, it is going to be discussed here. Sorry.

That it, post a thread in which I didn't have anything to say and use it to show me the light. Great work.

I love all these pathetic hate Obama threads. They are just like early sessions with the mentally ill. We are all the mentally ill by the way. First you worry about aliens probing your ass and you deal with that a few months and slowly get into the trauma of having been forced to take an enema because you swallowed a tractor part. They you go berserk over that for a while till you can actually start to cry and feel sorry for yourself. Then you begin to heal, realizing that you had no idea what was going on cause you were just a little kid. Finally you can leave the doctor's office and see that Obama is actually quite mentally healthy and you yourself have become more liberal.

In order to heal you have to feel like a worthless fool because its how you really do feel. All us folk making fun of fools are actually helping to keep people sick. Vomit your garbage in volumes is my motto. Let it all out. Go crazy, in a therapeutic setting naturally, and heal. You are loved by those you think are insane everywhere, and they stand on the hill with an open invitation.

Perhaps if the OP had the decency to link to this rumor thread I posted it could help me defend myself in a call out thread.

Psssst, were you a US citizen for the past 8 years? If so, can you stop referring to it as 'your ex-traitor blah blah blah'? I didn't vote the man so I guess he isn't my ex-blah blah blah... oh wait he was still the President so he was. Just because you didn't vote for him does not change the fact that he was still your President.

Although I guess you could have started a coup and seen it fall not to you but to the military like Madagascar today.

FYI, Obama writes most of his own speeches, and he's very hands on about editing their final form. A President who can read and understand the English language, at all, is a welcome change. :thumbsup: :cool:

What is you have against him using contemporary technology as an aide in publically presenting his speeches? Would it make any difference to you if he had paper notes? :confused:

I was replying directly to some Bushwhacko sycophant (it means "ass licker"... look it up) who posted:

Oh... Wait a minute... YOU are the Bushwhackos sycophant. :roll:

Clue -- No amount of trying to change the subject will shift the blame for the damage your EX-Traitor In Chief and his criminal cabal did to this nation during their tragic eight year dictatorship. :(

Pre-emptive obama apologist threads now, neato :thumbsup:

Boy the lefties love to call for bans of those that disagree with them...but isn't this the wrong forum for that?
