Ted Rall Calls For Obama's Resignation

[Old Rocks]

Who the heck is Ted Rall and why should I care what he thinks?

Uber left cartonist and all around loon.

He was what BO would consider his base, and he's jumped ship is why its interesting.

Complete bullshit. President Obama's real base is people like myself. Skilled trademan, voted Independent until the Repub's sold their souls to the radical evangelicals. Worked long hours all my life, made good wages, and spent much of it seeing the Western States up close and personal with my children. Have a nice little DD214 that says Honorable.

We are the people that voted for a change from the idiocy that we have seen for the last eight years. We are the people that still give President Barak Hussein Obama an 65% approval rating at this point in his Presidency.

The people like Rall expect the impossible. And they do not realize that most of the time a half a loaf is as good as it gets. There are some things that I would have done differant from President Obama, at least from the knowledge I have from where I sit. But he has taken on the job with two failed wars to take care of, an ongoing economic debacle, and an opposition party that has totally given power to the fruitcakes in it's midst. The Rushpublicans are doing their level best to become irrelevant in real politics.

 

[Old Rocks]

Exactly xenophon. As I state earlier Obama knows just how thin the ice upon which he skates is. His leftist cohorts are clearly clueless as is demostrated nearly continuously by Chris, Old Rocks et al. Hence the reall lft win nuts like Rall are starting to get more than a little antsy.

Sure, Gary, sure. And who supported the last eight years of incompetance and failure?

Truly, hell has froze over:

Ted Rall: It’s increasingly evident that Obama should resign
THE STATE JOURNAL-REGISTER
Posted May 29, 2009 @ 12:02 AM
MIAMI — We expected broken promises. But the gap between the soaring expectations that accompanied Barack Obama’s inauguration and his wretched performance is the broadest such chasm in recent historical memory. This guy makes Bill Clinton look like a paragon of integrity and follow-through.

From health care to torture to the economy to war, Obama has reneged on pledges real and implied. So timid and so owned is he that he trembles in fear of offending, of all things, the government of Turkey. Obama has officially reneged on his campaign promise to acknowledge the Armenian genocide. When a president doesn’t have the nerve to annoy the Turks, why does he bother to show up for work in the morning?

Obama is useless. Worse than that, he’s dangerous. Which is why, if he has any patriotism left after the thousands of meetings he has sat through with corporate contributors, blood-sucking lobbyists and corrupt politicians, he ought to step down now — before he drags us further into the abyss....

to Ted Rall...I agree Obama should resign before he drags us further into the abyss ... I am sure my reasons aren't the same as Ted's. The biggest problem with Obama's resignation would be, we end up with Biden as a replacement.

LOL. President Barak Hussein Obama will be a two term President, remembered as one of America's best. After his terms, he will be the grand old man of the Democratic Party. And you people will be remembered in the same way as people that were branding FDR as a tyrant. Completely clueless Loons.

Not all journalists are bad, Ted Rall has his opinion just like everyone else.

He doesn't speak for all Liberal Democrats however.

Tell the media that, they seem to think they speak for all Americans. It's one of the main reasons I starting not liking them. The other: American Idol ... blech ...

Now I wish I hadn't finished reading it.

Obama doesn't speak for all Americans either. He did not speak for us when he apologized for the "arrogance of Americans." He was not speaking for us when he thanked the Muslims for their great contributions to America. Contributions?? Hmmm.He does not speak for Americans when he pays for everyone's abortions in the world. He certainly doesn't speak for us when he creates money and, gives it to the rich so they can rip the poor off even more. He has yet to speak for me. He actualy speaks more in behalf of terrorists and Muslims and other countries, than he does for Americans. Americans are simple citizens, and have no charactoristics that atand out, we are not a Christian nation, and have no Christian foundation, and the Christians were not thanked for their contribution to this nation.

He is indeed a foreigner, a terrorist, and unAmerican.

 

[Xenophon]

Complete bullshit.

Sorry you fucking partisan gasbag, this guy is YOU.

He is EVERYTHING assholes like YOU have been saying and doing for a decade and more.

You aern't going to try and shift off him now because he no longer takes you turn sucking Bo's cock.

You own this fuck, get used to it.

Hmmm.... I thought it was Obama who jumped ship -- from his base that is.

Well that's bullshit if ever I heard it. You were not his base. He didn't pay a damned bit of attention to you until AFTER the primary and the nomination was a lock. Then, and only then, did he seek to win you over -- the very people who were fawning all over The Maverick not so long ago!

I brought the B/C comment up, as an example of something that's mostly original.

Hmmm... Yeah, okay... It's Sunday... Not up to speed with the coffee just yet...

I get bored this late/early on weekends and tend to rant ...

LOL! I just figured you liked being oppositional.

obama operates from the KOS agenda..the blame AMerica first crowd..KOS was the first alter all the democwat contenders worshipped at.. the farest of the far far left.

... and? Bush belongs to the Skull and Bones society ... your point? It's all just reruns of the same crap we saw for 8 years, can't cons at least be creative enough to make things more interesting?

You are aware are you not that Ted Rall is a FAR LEFT Liberal?

Both far left and far right extremists expect Obama should have fulfilled all his campaign promises immediately. The right wing extremists were chomping at the bit waiting to pounce when he didn't, and the left wing extremists still whine when he fails to spend even more money.

 

[Lycurgus]

As they have proven more than once, the Turkish government cannot be trusted and they will turn on you, even when you have boots on the ground. Obama proves that he is set on selling this nation out.

When you have boots on the ground and a so called ally stabs you in the back, only a fool or a sell out would go back for more!

No, Willow, that is only in your's and the far right wing's mind.

He hasn't been near left enough for many who voted for him.

As to blaming America first, that is also in you mind. Admitting we have made mistakes is just too much for some little minds.

 

[NOBama]

I think it's great that Obama is President. Every day that he's in office is another day for Americans to get a look at what the Democratic Party is all about. Let's bring them all out into the open. Now, if the Republicians can get there feces in one sack before the next election, I'm hoping the Democrats will be swept out of Congress and the White House like emptying the trash... Obama is still pretty popular right now in spite of all the harm he's caused America. I'm thinking that in another 12 to 18 months he's going to be bad-mouuthed worst than Bush ever was. I am sure he's a one term President.

Damn man, I'd have rather run that scenario in virtual reality.

He did. The Loons just haven't realized that their captain is MIA, YET.

Agna for someone with a modicum of education you are truly clueless at times or at least unduly opague in your mutterings. Anarcho-communism is as much likely to happen as you are to grow wings and fly to the moon. Anarcho anything has always resulted in some form of authoritarianism shortly thereafter.

Its unfeasibility is a reality because of the specific political climate of our society. Particularly, it's the compressed spectrum of political ideology that functions as an ever-present component of our political system (characterized by the rule of two parties that function as two factions of one party, the inaccurate disparagement of a liberal democratic capitalist as a "socialist," and a general apathy toward political participation bred by heavily constrained republicanism that only poses as a democratic order), that prevents the development of any form of anarchism. It's that compressed spectrum that will sustain capitalism and our present authoritarian state of affairs throughout our lifetimes and beyond.

However, the ideology of anarchism does not suffer from internal structural deficiencies itself, and has proven a viable and sustainable method of political organization on an inter-regional level when specific circumstances (i.e. the turmoil of the wartime environment, several decades of radical progressive activism, etc.), permitted.

Dayum.... Weren't you taught about run-on sentences?

 

[JW Frogen]

Aggie, your obsession with anarchism reminds me of the guy who invented the DeLaurian car, (what was his name again? John De-something?), you have no idea you are going back to a future that will never be.

 

[Agnapostate]

Dayum.... Weren't you taught about run-on sentences?

Certainly. I was taught that run-on sentences were constituted only by two or more independent clauses that lacked appropriate punctuation or conjunction. My sentences lacked both that and even the weaker definition of independent clauses improperly joined through comma splices.

Not quite. I merely acknowledge the reality that "labor is often sold under special disadvantages arising from the closely related group of facts that labor power is 'perishable', that the sellers of it are commonly poor and have no reserve fund, and that they cannot easily withhold it from the market." To that end, I'm content to identify the capitalist economy as a source of authoritarianism every bit as dictatorial and coercive as that of the state.

Shall we move this grammar trial to Nüremberg?

Oooh, I can do that too. Czech keyboard layout, y'know.
