His "fawning" over Paul McCartney.

FEMA camps was win as well. http://www.nowtheendbegins.com/pages/obama/fema-camps-obama-private-army.htm

Wow. What a fvcked up site. If you want a real treat go check out their FB page and read the comments. Some of them are actually giddy about the possibility of war in the ME. I seriously wish people like them would run into machine gun fire so they could see first hand how awesome war is and get to meet their maker at the same time.

My favorite was:

"WTF!!! OBAMA ADDRESSING OUR SCHOOL CHILDREN IS REALLY A PLOT TO BRAIN WASH THE KIDS WITH HIS COMMIE PINKO SOCIALISM!!!

But the
"OMFG!!! OBAMA IS GOING TO OUTLAW FISHING!!! is now my favorite anti-Obama outrage.

What is your favorite?
I haven't read the thread yet, but my favorite so far is when people were outraged that he asked for mustard on his hot dog. This shit is so stupid that there's no way I'm making it up.

Obama's mustard too `fancy'?
Right-wingers poke fun at his choice of Dijon


edit
oooh! oooh! Can I play?

My favorite in two words: Fancy Mustard.
Damn it! I'll just name a bunch and hope one of them is new
-he's black
-he's muslim
-he's foreign
-anything about marxist or socialist or leftist (in Canada and UK he would be considered an extreme conservative)
-death panels
-sworn in on a koran
-politely bowing to someone from a country where people bow to each other
-

The Obama's-a'-comin'-for-my-fishin'-pole scare was the funniest, but a close second was the one about him outlawing table salt.

I don't think the salt was an Obama thing. That actually was some kind of government proposal about limiting salt in certain foods.

What's this fishing pole thing? Link?

lol i find it funny that people bitch about fake or real outrage over obama yet ignore the same shit happened with bush/clinton etc.

many posting here are hypocrites.

i never got hte Fema camp ones. what was the connection? the fishing one (from what i can remember) was a badly written law. and the table salt had nothng to do with him at all.

He was on camera doing some public appearance thing and was ordering lunch at some 'typical' home town type restaurant and asked for dijon mustard (or something similar) and a few people on TV made a joke out of it and then it blew up into this big non-event.

Especially since they weren't really serious when they went after Obama for his choice of mustard, they were actually making a joke about how uptight some people are about Obama.

Wow, are you a misrepresenter of history. Remember When the communist leader of Japan, Adolf Hitler, helped us beat the Chinese in WWII?

If those issues are of interest to you then start threads about them. Actually I think someone did start a thread about anti-GWB outrages. Do a search for it.

Favorite idiot right non-issue: perhaps "Likes to pal around with terrorists".

"Lipstick on a pig" being calling Sarah Palin a pig deserves mention, but not favorite.

Favorite real issue: Obama's adopting and even expanding the bad policies for detainees, sometimes contradicting his campaign.

The bigger piss off is that people ignore the real fuck ups Obama does. Watch some of The Young Turks videos on youtube to get an idea of what's going on. The leader of TYT, Cenk Uygur, is a hardcore liberal and he dislikes how Obama doesn't seem to follow through on any liberal policies. Obama didn't bring UHC, he didn't bring non-profit government insurance to compete against private insurance (public option), he didn't roll with the idea of expanding medicare to cover more people; Obama's healthcare didn't work at all. It also seems like Obama wants to regulate things then doesn't, or he'll try to negotiate with republicans even though his party has a majority and doesn't need to negotiate anything. He is a horrible president. The republicans don't like his ideas, and the democrats are frustrated that he can't get anything done.

He's less likely to change when people don't care about real issues. Mustard is not an issue. Fishing is not an issue. Not knowing how to lead your party is a real issue.

There are a lot of real issues as you said. But ask Uygar how he feels about Obama versus any national Republican, including Bush or McCain.

It is infuriating for liberals to watch the Dems let Republicans get away with the abuse of the Filibuster as if the Dems, with a historically large majority, don't have a majority.

Disappointment in some of Obama's leadership abilities does not begin to equate to support for Republicans who are far, far worse.

I do not know what world you live in but from what I have seen, read, and heard is Mr Obama gets lots of attention and criticism for anything and everything he says and does.

The point of this thread is with all the real issues his opponents could talk about they keep coming up with pointless and stupid crap.

This is where the frustration comes from. You either vote for republicans who do stupid shit or you vote for democrats who can't get anything done even if you held a gun to their head.

Sounds like it is time to revive or start a "What Obama Has Done Thread".

I don't know how you can beat the outrage over him being out of touch (or wasting money, I forget which) by taking his wife on a date to NYC for one night. Although the fishing one was sure close. Then of course, there was Michelle shopping in Paris. Oh dammit, I can't pick just one!!
