Sure it's hypocritical, just as it was when the Bush administration and the Right called the Dem's and the anti-war folk everything from "unpatriotic," to "terrorist sympathizers."

That's what being a Republican or Democrat is all about. Being a hypocrite.

Politics is a team sport.

LOL, wut ???

You cannot cite a specific instance, or three, where you claim President Obama has failed?

I say the Fail is You.
--
1. The healthcare debacle -- perhaps the worst bill in U.S. history.
2. Gitmo still open
3. No movement on immigration
4. Unemployment
5. transparency and integrity in govt.. or, more accurately, the total lack thereof
6. lack of extensive alternative energy plan
7. cap and tax debacle
8. DADT still lives
9. Olympics in Chicago... woops!
10. deals made at international "climate" conferences FTL.
11. Iran still working on nuke weapons
12. North Korea still laughing at talks
13. Afghanistan still a mess, and quite possibly getting worse every day.
14. gm take over - gm had to eventually declare bankruptcy
15. cash for clunkers - cost 3 times more than original estimate = total mess.
16. attempt to take over census
17. putting caps on corporate pay
23. refusal to investigate black panthers
24. supporting a dictator in honduras
25. getting the NEA to produce propaganda art for his agenda
26. firing inspector general for investigating his friends at americorp
27. shutting down voucher program in DC for poor school kids
28. lied about putting bills online for 5 days
29. spending more AND FASTER than any president in history
30. more worthless and unaccountable czars than ever before, woohoo!
etc etc...

As I said, TOTAL-FUCKING-FAIL. He'll never get my vote again. Period.

We've posted on this before. The whole thing is a bunch of bullshit that the idiot masses keep eating up. You guys think it's politics, but it's all about representing your colors man. Blue and Red, Crips and Bloods.

I applaud you, sir. Perhaps the hardest thing in politics is admitting that your guy is a total douche loser. Still, 2012 isn't here yet, so never say never. Even Obama could end up being the lesser evil.

Yup. But not a hypocrite. I'd rather follow a "kook" than a hypocrite. At least you know where the kook stands.

So you'd rather follow someone who's wrong than follow someone who's right but you don't like. Yeah, that about sums you up. :D

Yeah, Bush didnt have anybody dumping on him before entering office :rolleyes:

I am curious and will ask you the same question. Where does Obama deciding he can execute american citizens without due process fit into your viewpoint? Is that on the "thought" or "performance" side?

Honestly, I don't remember anything as inflammatory when Bush entered as it was with Obama. Certainly nothing of the terrorist/Arab/Muslim/etc. caliber. If I'm wrong, please correct me.

The circumstances surrounding the 2000 election were no doubt dubious in the public's eye, so there were plenty of "Bush stole the election" messages, but again, nothing that can be compared.

I'm not being apologetic here. I'm just saying it's apples and oranges and should be treated that way. The hate toward Obama has been absolutely out of control.

I tend to agree with you on this. Comparable Bush hatred didn't happen until after people starting realizing Iraq was bullshit. Hell, I think most were still willing to give the dummy the benefit of the doubt even when he was beating the drums of war trying to tie Iraq to 9/11, nukes, Elvis, whatever because we thought no way would he actually invade. After 9/11 there was no us, them, reps, dems, libs, cons, there was some real unity... albeit brief, Obama certainly didn't ruin that but you'd think HE ordered the strikes himself judging from some of the hate I have read/heard since the day he took office.

I posted three above. And offered to continue :D

It's not like we are splitting the atom, here ...

1) 'C-' for Gitmo
2) 'F' for no self-funded public option
3) 'D' for maintaining the 'state secret privilege' of Bush


I understand why but doesn't mean I like it :D


heyheybooboo.... what's with the crickets?

Dude ... 80%+ of your list is simple partisan douchery, rage and Party of Hate talking points.

Bush wasn't as prominently derided in his first year in office as Obama was. 9/11 changed everything.. in many more ways than one.

You both are full of shit. The vitriol and rage against Bush by you fringe leftists was at the same level or even higher than the so-called "hatred" of BHO. Hell, people here still rage about the 2000 election.
Nice try at revisionist history though. :)

I am still waiting for Obama to fulfill even one of his campaign promises.

Transparency behind closed doors. Bi-partisan, without one Republican behind the closed door.

No new taxes. No lobbyists?

Who do you think is causing more air pollution than Obama in his daily flights, burning one gallon of gas every second?

Who has surrounded himself with more radical, scialistic communists?

At one time using bribery was a crime. Obama does it openly to push trough his agenda.

And how can he nominate a union lawyer to the NLRB? That is like putting a white supremist on the NAACP board.

And that is but the start of an endless ist.

Welcome to hell.

The left started this with their hatred and constant Bush bashing. So I say this with great pride and patriotism.

FUCK BARRACK HUSSEIN OBAMA. FUCK THAT BASTARD. FBHO.

Well, to be fair, most of the people who made childish rants like this against GWB could at least spell George correctly.

Incorrectly spelling something when you're trying to be insulting just makes you look stupid.. and is usually pretty comical.

bullshit. I have no reason to be "partisan" after voting for the man myself. I call it like I see it. You, on the other hand, can't understand or accept 80% of the list because you're blinded by your own partisan hackery.

Obama = Total failure.

I dare you to address every item on my list one at a time... let's see you defend the indefensible.
