Lookin' For That Apology...

[PoliticalChic]

Way back when, before the election of '08, what were those of us on the right telling you guys?

We told you that the press wasn't vetting this articulate senator...

we told you you were unaware of his politics, that you were pickin,' with due respect to the President, 'a pig in a poke'...

we even suggested the dire possibilities...

did you listen? Nooooooooooo!

Then, finally, after the election, Charlie Rose and Tom Brokaw admit they don't know who he is....

Now, the Democratic Party itself is saying the same things"

"But many other Democrats, including Rep. Jim Moran (D-Va.), a member of the defense appropriations subcommittee, said they didn’t even know the provision was included.

Moran’s anger with the president boiled over in a short interview Thursday with The Hill about the provision and the tax debate held shortly after the Democratic Caucus voted to reject Obama’s tax-cut deal.

“This is a lack of leadership on the part of Obama,” fumed Moran (D-Va.) “I don’t know where the f*** Obama is on this or anything else. They’re AWOL.”

Wrong.

You people on the right told us he was a Marxist/socialist left wing extremist.

You could not have made a worse guess if you tried.

Oh, Carby!

I 'm so very, very proud of you! You are sooo smart, and we are so dense....

If fact, here is a reward for your brilliance, a bed-time story:

"The ant works hard every day during the summer, building his house and storing food for the winter. The grasshopper, on the other hand, watches the ant with amusement and prefers to sing and dance, putting nothing away for the winter ahead.

When the winter comes, the grasshopper has nothing to eat and becomes desperate. He elects a president who promises that spreading the food around is good for everyone. The president demonizes the ant for being greedy and asks how he can live with himself when so many others have so little. An executive order is signed demanding the ant turn over 50 percent of his food supply to the government. The grasshopper laughs and plays the rest of the winter, getting fat on the ant’s assets. The ant is depressed and resentful.

The next summer the ant stops preparing his home and storing his food and instead joi9ns the grasshopper, singing and dancing all day. Unfortunately, all of the other ants make the same decision. The next winter, with no one left to exploit, the grasshoppers and ants all die of cold and hunger. The end. " Beck, Balfe, “Broke,” p. 17.


Now, be a good boy and hop back in your crib.

What exactly are we supposed to apologize for?

Hint: Who did you put in office?

In that case, I have nothing to apologize for - what a relief

I didn't even think anyone read those cut and pastes anyway..

I'm not apologizing for shit especially after the previous 8 years wingnuts are responsible for.

Wow, forced you to read, huh?

Kind of obviates your opening line.

But the next line is close enough...the gross tenor of the sentence pretty much places you on the nether side of classy, which an apology would have been.

Does that include the years that the Dem fisters controlled Congress?

I wasn't here for the 2008 election, but an apology to any of those who came with me from the old place would mean regretting my 2008 vote. I do not, and will not apologize. Just because Obama has been a disappointment in many ways does not mean I think the alternative would have been better. I don't play false dichotomies.

Now if somebody wanted an apology to Hillary supporters, I'd consider it.

Who on the Right predicted that Obama would be a weak willed corporatist lackey who would cave to the GOP every time the going got tough?

Answer, none of YOU.

Except that he hasn't done anything of consequence that can be accurately labeled so.

[NYcarbineer]

so on the number line, the zero being as close to indy center as possible, 1 being slight 4 certain right or left and 8 being far left or right, where do you put obama?

I put Obama wherever the gutless weasels who won't fight for what they pretend to believe in go.

I can only take that as a refusal to answer, which is disappointing NYC, you made a remark as to what he wasn't, yet won't delineate in your opinion what he is or how you see him ....why?

He is gutless. He has drunk the koolaid of the GOP tax cut and spend death spiral suiciders.

You are dead wrong as usual. He is a marxist left wing extremist.

So this tax bill is a Marxist tax bill.

This is what I love about the right (love as in I love being reminded of how much smarter I am than every fucking one of you)

...you cannot, even with a mountain of facts to the contrary, get them to stop believing what they want to believe.

It's the emotional investment in a belief that creates an immunity to the truth. It's believing the Earth is 6000 years old because you think that will get you to Heaven.

This is almost as funny as back when people on the left were demanding apologies from the right for putting Bush in office.

Yeah, I am going to apologize to you assholes for my vote. I'd vote for Obama again today.

Wankers.

By the way, you guys might have a stronger case if you didn't run a Bush Administration bootlicker who subsequently picked a train wreck for a running mate.

Since Papa Obama supports and upholds so many of Bush's policies, are you talking about Obama and Biden?

I was trying to think of a way to sum up the McCain/Palin ticket. That fits it perfectly.

Kinda sad, really. If McCain version 2000 had showed up and picked a solid VP, it might have gone very differently. I probably would feel differently. But water under the bridge....can't call it back now.

After supporting the war and not raising taxes, many on the left think the same of the Obama and Biden ticket now..
