He's makin' me Maaaaad..." 'Progressives' getting angry.

[Midnight Marauder]

http://www.opednews.com/articles/1/Now-I-m-Really-Getting-Pis-by-David-Michael-Gree-091219-496.html

Hey did you hear about the iconic African-American guy who plays golf, and whose relationship with the public is in a free-fall lately?

No, as a matter of fact I'm not talking about Tiger Woods.

You know, I've really been trying not to write an article every other week about all the things I don't like about Barack Obama.


But the little prick is making it very hard.

Like any good progressive, I've gone from admiration to hope to disappointment to anger when it comes to this president. Now I'm fast getting to rage.

How much rage? I find myself thinking that the thing I want most from the 2010 elections is for his party to get absolutely clobbered, even if that means a repeat of 1994. And that what I most want from 2012 is for him to be utterly humiliated, even if that means President Palin at the helm. That much rage.

Did this clown really say on national television that "I did not run for office to be helping out a bunch of you know, fat cat bankers on Wall Street"?!?!

Really, Barack? So, like, my question is: Then why the hell did you help out a bunch of fat cat bankers on Wall Street?!?! Why the hell did you surround yourself with nothing but Robert Rubin proteges in all the key economic positions in your government? Why did you allow them to open a Washington branch of Goldman Sachs in the West Wing? Why have your policies been tailored to helping Wall Street bankers, rather than the other 300 million of us, who just happen to be suffering badly right now?

Are you freakin' kidding me??? What's up with the passive president routine, anyhow, Fool? You hold the most powerful position in the world. Or maybe Rahm forgot to mention that to you. Or maybe the fat cat bankers don't actually let do that whole decision-making thing often enough that it would actually matter...

But, really, are you going to spend the next three interminable years perfecting your whiney victim persona? I don't really think I could bear that. Hearing you complain about how rough it all is, when you have vastly more power than any of us to fix it? Please. Not that.

Are you going to tell us that "I did not run for office to be shovel-feeding the military-industrial complex"? But what they're just so darned pushy?

"...I did not run for office to continue George Bush's valiant effort at shredding the Bill of Rights. It's just that those government-limiting rules are so darned pesky."

"...I did not run for office to dump a ton of taxpayer money into the coffers of health insurance companies. It's just that they asked so nicely."

"...I did not run for office to block equality for gay Americans. I just never got around to doing anything about it."

"...I did not run for office to turn Afghanistan into Vietnam. I just didn't want to say no to all the nice generals asking for more troops."

Read more at link.

This dichotomy is interesting. These same folks are the ones who wailed and railed against Booooosh, for allegedly listening to the shrill extremist voices in his political party, and are now wailing and railing against President Obama for not doing the same?

What part of "not beholden to special interests" did they not understand when they cast their vote?

Quite amusing, actually. Discuss.

Regarding AFghanistan, Obama told people before his election that he would be augmenting troops there.

So if the left is upset they ought not to be.

Regarding Health care reform?

Obama flat out mislead the people who were his most ardent supporters

I don't see where he misled anyone on HCR. I DO see where he flip-flopped on it later, however.

Do we really think the author of the op-ed in the OP is going to change his vote? Hell no, he will punch all Democrat just like he always has, despite his fiery furious rhetoric in print.

I guess that point is what you missed entirely. Just right over your head.....

That's the claim. But the reality is, the wails and cries are because they perceive he is NOT listening to them.

They won't change their vote anyway. Will you?

Actually--I did not vote in the last election--but If I did, I would prefer Obama over McCain/Palin still.

Yes, that is something they have a right to be angry about--they are the ones that got Obama elected, why in the hell did he turn his back on them on the issues that forced a elcetoral revolt against his predecessor?

Obama is acting like an idiot--like G. W. Bush!!

I made no judgment on if they have a right to be angry or not.

But most should be snickering right now, they thought they were electing a special interest puppet who would do their bidding. At least they're straight-up honest about it now!

And when I asked about "change your vote" I meant, from Dem to Repug in future elections, not the last one. You won't do that and of course the author of the op-ed won't either. So it's just crybaby blather from him and his ilk.

Here they are below, and I love it. And they're stuck with it probably until 2016!

 

[Big Black Dog]

Obama is like every other politician that I have ever known. Say and do anything to get elected and once elected, do as you damned well please. Forget about what you promised. The big difference in Obama and all of the other politicians is that he is openly and purposefully turning the country into a socialist nation. The other politicians have been turning the country into a socialist nation for years but they have all be very quietly doing it instead of making it so obvious.

 

[Midnight Marauder]

This reminds me of the parable of the snake and the hare. The snake needed the hare's help to cross the river, and the hare complied only on the snake's promise that he wouldn't bite.

In the middle of the river, the snake bit. The shocked hare asked why. The snake said, "It's my nature."

This time though, the snake didn't bite until the hare got him all the way across the river and into the White House!

Agreed, until you added this

The big difference in Obama and all of the other politicians is that he is openly and purposefully turning the country into a socialist nation. The other politicians have been turning the country into a socialist nation for years but they have all be very quietly doing it instead of making it so obvious.

One President cannot do what you are proposing. He needs Congress for that. And granted, he has a lapdog Congress at the moment. But the main point is, you seem to believe our Union is a fragile thing. It's not. We will survive Obama just like we have every other President. We have been through worse and we have been through better. But we have been through and we will continue to do so.

 

[Zander]

The "Progressives" will vote the Democrat party line regardless of how many lies they are told by Obama and his Chicago thugs. Obama could literally take a shit in the mouth of every "progressive" in the country (they'd be lined up, mouths agape!), and come Nov 2012 they'll vote for him again without question.

What happened to the change we could believe in?????????????

 

[jillian]

I always said he was too moderatre.... and gave in far too much to conservatives. But still and all, the progressives have no one else to vote for...and if he's ticking off the far left AND the far right, I figure he's not doing too badly.

 

[Midnight Marauder]

Hillary.

Hillary who is currently enjoying a 70% approval rating overall, and it's even higher with those who identify themselves as "liberal."

Even though "liberal" and "progressive" aren't the same thing.

and if he's ticking off the far left AND the far right, I figure he's not doing too badly.

Roger that. Kind of like Billy did. But Billy was light-years ahead of Obama in style, substance, skill, experience and pragmatism.

 

[Oddball]

And likability.

Much of a sleazy lying double-dealer Bubba is politically, I'd still go out for a night of single malt swilling and skirt chasing with the dude.

Or....he's just trying to make everyone except conservatives happy and not succeeding.

He needs to show he has some core-principles and stick to them...not put on this false front at the same time he's doing the opposite.

At least you could respect him for that.

His problem is that he isn't just tick off the far left and far right, the middle are pretty fucking pissed too.

That's what happens when you have a Prez who has no principles.

He's really just out to help those that can benefit him.....the rest of us can go pound sand.
