Anyone understand the logic here?

Obama presses Congress.
Congress rushes passage.
No one in Congress actually reads bill.
Obama takes long weekend vacation to Chicago.
Obama forgets that most Americans work on Prez Day.
Obama and Michelle eat fancy V-day dinner at Table 52. (Menu prices not online.)
Obama forgets that many Americans are having to choose between heating their homes and food.
Obama waits another day to sign rushed bill.

Mr. Obama: Would you like some change to go with your steak?

And continuing this so-called "logic":

All of the Obamas' assets should be distributed to the poor.

President Obama should be paid minimum wage.

The Obamas should take buses whenever they need to travel within D.C. - if they don't have enough money for bus fare, they should beg on street corners.

They should fly economy class or take the train whenever they need to travel more than a couple of hundred miles or so.

They should live in a 1-bedroom apartment in SE DC - the girls can sleep in the hallway.

The whole family should wear clothes purchased from the Good Will center.

They should limit their food consumption to what is consistent with a food-stamp budget.

The girls should attend a public school in the poorest, most crime-ridden section of DC.

They should all refuse Secret Service protection.

I'm sure the right wing can come up with other meaningful lifestyle changes for the Obamas.

I repeat - you are very bad at this. You are childish, you post irrelevant information to the topic just for the sake of bashing Obama, you make things up in that information.

You'll grow up someday. Maybe.

Its expected liars would try to defend their lies.

Deeko, you sir are a liar, and most likely a thief if your willingness to lie is any indication of your moral fiber. YOU have to live with that fact, not I.

You might want to see a gyno about all that sand in your vagina. It could cause some serious issues down the road.

I would think one shouldn't go out for a $700 meal if they couldn't afford it :confused: You internet stalking me or something? I'm sorry your life sucks, leave me alone though. It's not my fault.

Let mom and dad back on the computer, I thought you were grounded last time you pulled this.

He made a pledge to allow 5-days to pass between passage of a bill and him signing it.

Although I'm quite sure the same whiners would be bitching up a little sandy vagina storm if he'd signed off on it quickly.

:roll:

But in the end, who cares? Even had he signed it immediately, it's not going to get implemented over a holiday weekend.

Silly kid. It really is. You suffer from a condition where you take a small quote, extrapolate other twists out of it that weren't actually said, and then come to conclusions based on those extrapolations as if they were fact. The media does things like this all the time. Hence, it was a gross misrepresentation. You are the sheep, sir.

Nice try though - you lie, then I call you on it, so you bitch and moan about a bunch of unrelated BS to divert attention from your lie. Its cute, too bad we're on to your ruse.

So you contend Obama did in fact NOT say we cannot keep driving big cars and keep our houses hot? Or is it your position that Obama did NOT in fact turn the heat up in the White House so high that others thought it too hot?

Before I make you look like the bleating ignorant dumbass sheep you are I have to know which one of these you think Obama did not do.

Wow and I just noticed your actually too dumb to even see the other examples I provided, but rather just ignored them and bleated on about how right you were. Oh yes, so right you were. Painfully right, amiright? You wouldnt see my point if it bit you on your drooling ass.......

if it make you feel better, at least he won't have to turn the AC on in the summer

Perhaps because, it being a holiday weekend, actions pursuant to the bill can't occur until Tuesday.

really dude, my sig? If the humor of my sig escapes you that's your problem not mine. I wasn't bragging when I said my score was 850. That wasn't my intention. One guy in that thread said he told his daughters to not pay their cc bills and I said there was no way I would do that I like my 850 score and there you jumpin all over me. I think you need to relax. You are clearly unstable so you get ignored from now on unless its relevant to the conversation in whatever thread we are in.

I have to admit when I heard he took a vacation during an economic meltdown and passage of the pork bill a smile came to my face. From all the bitching about Bush taking vacations on his first big test he was off to Chicago for an extended weekend. Just classic.

Maybe the congress should of taken a few more days. Not the huge emergency Obama was claiming. If it was he would of signed it the second he got it. I guess he wants to save the signing when more people are home watching TV pure political maneuver.

and he made a pledge to have all bills available to the public 48 hours BEFORE signing them

well 12<48 PROMISE BROKEN

But since not passing the bill ASAP would lead to a "catastrophe" we can break the 48 hour promise and then take a 3 day weekend...before signing the bill in Denver as a further campaign stunt.

Can someone tell obama that the campaign is over and stop the FUD?

No...you can't possibly have mentioned that as if it were something bad. No one can rationally think that.

You kids never cease to amaze me.

I guess libs truly understand all the reasons behind the stimulus bill being rushed on Friday but not to be signed until the following Tuesday, which forced all lawmakers to vote without reading! And this is because BHO has to date his wife on a Valentine's Day! Duh!

Oh by the way, just in case you missed it, the other President or Pelosi is in Italy for the weekend celebrating the passage of the porkulous bill! Of course, that is also an explanation why it has to be voted last Friday but not to be signed until the following Tuesday!

If you DO NOT BELIEVE IN ALL THESE CHANGES, I DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL!

A) I'm not a liberal, so I guess you're talking about someone else, despite replying to my post
B) The rest of your reply was fairly non-sensicle, so I'm not really sure how to respond to that.

The quality of the Obama haters posts have decreased dramatically, while the quantity has increased. Imagine that.

pretty much everyone sane on both sides is mostly taking a break, with a few exceptions. The moonbats and hacks have taken over.

Replace one giant set of moonbats with another. To much finger pointing for the sake of finger pointing.

A (D) is President now, so that is where all the scrutiny is going to land. If you cant handle that, I dont know what to say.
