Robert Gibbs Says Liberal Critics of President Obama Should Stop Doing So Many Drugs

[The Rabbi]

Nader didn't have a chance. Not a snowball's chance in hell.

Only because Stalin is dead.

Wrong. The only ones drinking the Obama kool-aid were party loyalist Democrats, not "the left". Many of "the left" didn't vote for him, having seen clearly that his would be a 'Republican Lite' version of leadership, having said revealing statements such as Afghanistan being the "right" war, calling Joe Lieberman his mentor, voting to grant immunity to the telecoms while he was a Senator, etc.

Many of the left did not vote for Obama?
While I think your getting to the fact the independents voted for Obama, to say that many of the left did not vote for him seems to me a bit naive.

IMO though, I think a lot of people liked his approach of following though in Afghanistan.

It's not naive; it's accurate. You've already revealed that your interpretation of what constitutes "the left" is erroneous. The progressives I know who were paying attention did not vote for Obama because of what he revealed early on in his campaign and while he was still a senator. Obama is too moderate, as most true lefties can clearly see. That's why it's ridiculous for the right-leaners to use, as an excuse for their hate, the fact that he's a 'socialist', a 'commie', etc. And yes, it's obviously being used as an excuse. Otherwise, it's the mark of sheer stupidity, since there is absolutely not a shred of truth to it, as evidenced by his corporate-favoring actions, over and over again.

Wow...you're no better than the Tea party folks chasing out Republicans because they are not conservative enough.

Wrong again. Who am I "chasing" out of what party? The Democrats are nothing more than Republican Lite and serve the same corporate master as their righty counterparts. They do not now nor have they, since the '60s, represented the left in any meaningful capacity. They pander to the Left during elections in pursuit of votes, some of which they actually get - but not mine.

So you rather have a President that activily is right or left ALL the time?

Nothing gives me greater pleasure than to see this administration screwing up with its allies. Eventually they'll have no support whatsoever.
The funny thing is the comments made about Obama are all true. He has been a leftist failure. He is being hoist by the inherent contradictions of his own candidacy.

And I hate Obama as president but you are still a self proclaimed fuckhead.

Consult your avatar and every third of your posts for proof. You can be "right" and still wrong at once. In fact that's the only possibility.

Partisans are always wrong. Always.

You can put any label on it that you want. It's about right versus wrong, not right versus left.

Well most Liberals are f*cked up on drugs. So Gibbs did get that one right. However if Liberals are saying that this Boss is the same as the old Boss,they're probably right. There has been very little difference in the two policies. It's very hard to find any real differences. There has been no "Hope & Change" in my opinion. Just another empty slogan for empty heads.

White House press secretary Gibbs stands by criticism of some liberals as 'professional left'

"Asked if he had put his foot in his mouth or had said something he meant, Gibbs said: "I think I have both my feet firmly planted on the floor and nothing in my mouth to speak of." It was the first time he has commented on the controversy."

He also said his comments were "born out of frustration"

The Left are A*sholes. They're so friggin whiny & snotty. They're never happy. Good to see fellow Leftists getting a taste of their own medicine from their own though. Now they're finding our what Bush had to put up with for his eight years in the White House. This stuff is deliciously hilarious. I hope they keep it up.

The Left is the perpetual out-of-power faction. They cannot govern. They would be disasters. So all the can do is carp how much better they would be and why everyone else is wrong.
The conservatives are the governing party. Or ought to be.

The Left has both houses of Congress and the Oval Office...and they're STILL angry.

The ironic part is that an argument cuold be made that those who actually support the fuck head are the ones who need to lay off the drugs

Yup just a bunch of snotty little whiners. Back to back Socialist Presidents and they're still bitchin 24/7. Nothing will make them happy. Bush found that out and now this President will too.

 

[QUENTIN]

You should also consider not talking so much and making stuff up as you go.

Moreover, what, pray tell, am I "making up as I go along"? Be specific.

?

Yeah. I mean heaven forbid we have low taxes and less spending. What kind of extremist would want to actually spend only what we actually have? It's just insane to want to be careful with money.

Good to see one person acknowledging that the left is really wrong.

Yea Less Government and Fiscal Sanity. What a bunch of "loons." How dare any candidate suggest such awful madness. The Socialists/Progressives have lost it.
