Which, in all honesty, shows how fragmented the Democrats are. Its not just Obama that isnt getting anything done....

They are fragmented enough to still need the republicans, their majority is held by a moderates who wont vote with him on unpopular issues. I guess you could say the republicans are winning, they have been able to gridlock him on pretty much every issue.

After watching that video, I really have to say they make some interesting points. Sure, Obama has said he wants to do a lot. He's promised a whole lot. But has he really done anything yet? Considering all the capabilities he has, other than campaigning a shit ton, creating a ton of czar positions and picking fights with the right wing media, he hasn't really done anything.

The right shouldn't hate Obama, they should be happy he hasn't really accomplished anything. If anything, the left should be furious he hasn't come through on any of his promises yet.

Because if the right just sat back and didn't hammer away on this stuff we'd already have a worthless healthcare bill and even more stimulus and whatever other stupid shit Obama could have come up with.

So your idea of fixing all the problems was to do absolutely nothing and let the whole fucking world go down the shitter?:roll:

It was a decently funny skit, but agree with above, the impersonation is sorely lacking.

Anyone else see that CNN "fact checked" the skit? No, not a joke. CNN ran a piece where they addressed all of the SNL skit's "claims". Next up, they will address Chris Rock's unsupported assertion that "niggaz is crazy yo".

"This is CNN."

Agreed. But why would you say they need the GOP? What they need is their OWN to be on the same side. Again, the problem isnt the GOP. It's the Democrats. Ive said it before...the majority is D. The GOP is like the kid on the sidelines in a wheelchair. It's the Democrats who are sabotaging their own party here.

I'll assume the smile is meant in good faith since in the first 8 months we have seen expansion to s-chip, credit card reform, equal pay legislation, and a monstrous stimulus bill among others. That obama and the dems haven't also managed in the first 8 months of Obama's term to pass comprehensive health care reform, something that has been repeatedly attempted and failed over last 40 years, is hardly supportive of a claim that the dems have done nothing. Clearly, they have a lot left on the agenda to do to please the base or meet their campaign promises, but let's see what gets done over the next couple years.

I would note it's somewhat amusing watching the stimulus and healthcare negotiations where the critique was "what's the hurry? why can't we take time to do this right?" being made simultaneously with "dems don't get anything done."

They aren't the minority. They have the hick dems, which are more republican than democrat.

Shit Obama has done more in 8 fucking months then Bush could fuck up in 8 years. You people on the right crack me up, it took 8+ years to get in this mess do you really think we are going to pull out of the worst recession in America's history since the Great depression in 8 months time Give me a fucking break you ignorant asshole.

Funny, the Democrats have a super majority in the Senate, a majority in the House, and control of the White House.

Pass the legislation and OWN it.

Oh wait, i forgot, even Democrats don't want what is being purposed.

Stop making this about Republicans and look at the Democrats. Republicans can do NOTHING to stop legislation yet somehow they are being blamed for the hold up.

I bet being able not to stop this legislation really burns your ass...sort like when Bush rammed through the tax breaks for the rich?

Obama has been unilaterally disarming the US (giving up nukes and delivery systems). He busted the missile defense program with a 2 billion budget cut. He turned on allies like Israel, UK and East Europe while supporting a wannbe dictator in Honduras.

He quadrupled the deficit with a pork filled stimulus the feeds his base and doesn't make jobs. The world is now clamoring to get off the dollar because they know Obama is going to inflate it to pay off debt. China and Russia know what he is up to even though the dummies in US don't

Obama robbed senior creditors to give their wealth to unions in Chrysler. He delivered US to international governing bodies that will be able to make economic regulatory decisions for US (this is part of Obama's transnational legal outlook as seen with Harold Koh at State).

Obama has attacked intelligence agencies and made them afraid to do anything without wondering if someone will come after them for following orders.

Obama dropped charges against a USS Cole bomber as well as Black Panthers with clubs at voting places.

Obama has a FCC "Diversity Czar" who praises Chavez "Democratic revolution" as well as Saul Alinsky. He's been writing for years about shutting down talk radio.

Obama tried to reform health-care without even addressing a number 1 problem - tort reform (and trial lawyers are Obama's number 1 funding bundler).

As Mexican border escalated in violence Obama's DOJ and Homeland security went to border to harass a sheriff instead. Now they are cutting border agents from the Mexican border.

Obama and Dems are trying to pass a cap and charade scam that will raise prices for energy for families and poor people. It doesn't even help environment but it Dem funding scam - its like selling air and making average families buy it.

Obama and Co seized census dept and put it under White House control in first weeks.

Obama insults and apologizes for America whenever he has international audience. It's clear he doesn't like America - a reason he is trying to gut it's capitalist infrastructure and get America stick in globalist network.

Obama has said he thought Constitution was interesting for its time but inadequate since it doesn't force gov to do things like transfer wealth (A Marxist principle btw).

Obama said he wants a civilian paramilitary equal to military. This idea of paramilitary cadres is typical of places like Cuba and Venezuela and a goal of Van Jones who wrote about the effectiveness of cadres.

There is a lot not to like about Obama. He's pure poison for the country and I really dont know how the US can survive 3 more years of his communist shenanigans. Obama is suffocating the economy and it's by design (like ACORN founder Wade Rathke Obama understand planned chaos for social change). Obama will be the undertaker of US if people dont wake up and stop him.
HELLO, we have a new macro. Work some bold and frowny faces into it.

It wasn't just you. That was really really really bad.

I almost feel it for Obama- it isn't like he is not trying to accomplish things- he is just being blocked. However, that is why we have a system of checks and balances. So in some sense, it shows the system works somewhat. Of course, if nothing ever happens, then the system is working too well for its own good.
