The First Obama Term

He's trying to channel some FDR spirits or something. I'm waiting for the CCC to return.

Or the HJ and SA

SupCourt found the AAA to be unconstitutional, so they made minor changes to the wording and it did the exact same thing but then it was legal... and I believe it is still in effect.

On video, for some reason.

I know for a fact that I've said in the past, here, that I fear reeducation camps under Democrats more than Republicans.

District superintendent responds.

I'm impressed, usually these things just get.... ignored.

That's nice!

I wonder if they'll do anything about the others that weren't stupid enough to bring in a camera.

I was gonna say, I hope that lady learned her lesson. Namely, never let somebody video you being a dumbass.

Well, whatever. It's been changed.

Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by setting a goal that all middle school and high school students do 50 hours of community service a year and by developing a plan so that all college students who conduct 100 hours of community service receive a universal and fully refundable tax credit ensuring that the first $4,000 of their college education is completely free.

As horrible as some the things coming out of his mouth are.... I will not try too hard to stop myself from laughing when and if the cultists start realizing who they voted for, and realize they made a mistake.

It's like it would be fun watching him turn us into a 2nd world country like France and Sweden. Because I didn't vote for him! It isn't my fault! Bwahahaha.

Are you kidding? The people who voted for Obama LOVE this kind of stuff.

It's like, wow, man, people get to like serve the community and stuff? And like how cool is that, you know?

I was thinking more along the lines of they will hate it when they are FORCED to serve.

I agree with you, Gordo. I expect a few stories early on with the faithful talking about how great it is to be giving back to the community. Then it will be all whiney punks bitching about how they're having to work for their checks.

If they wanted to work for it, they'd get a job.

OMG - They did change it. Those bastards.

On the other hand, at least they backed down from something so wrong-minded. I mean, better to cover up your mistakes than keep making them.

Why choose when you can do both?

So bend over, kiddies; you will now get the despotic, rapacious government you asked for, and thereby deserve — good and hard, and deep, too.

[...]

So yeah, sit back and suck on it, kiddies; you’re going to have many a long, long year to ponder your foolishness and folly in helping to elect a Savior instead of a President. No, bobbling the boy-beans (to steal a funny line from Ace) and swallowing at the end are NOT optional. You’ll find that Big Government’s appetite for buggering its subjects is insatiable, just as those of us with more than the most superficial acquaintance with history already knew — and you’re the ones who promiscuously offered your tender selves up to provide the “happy” ending. Gird your loins; Big Government likes to take its time, and wring every last frisson of pleasure out of its conquests. This will assuredly not be a three-minute man-on-top-get-it-over-with-quick sort of ride; Big Government is a 60 Minute Man. The fun don’t stop till Big Government says enough, no matter how raw, sore, bloody, and exhausted you might be by then.

Personally, I hope you enjoy every minute of the violent reaming you’re going to get. Because I will damned sure enjoy watching you get it. I’m a pervert like that, see.

C'mon, this has been built up for eight years. It doesn't matter if B. Rock unilaterally starts off the next nuclear world war, it will be hailed as a triumph, goddamnit.

I read somewhere that in his first 3 months in office, Obama has spent more money than all American Presidents... combined. Or maybe it was just proposed spending.

Anyway, anyone want to change their votes? I am sticking to my original "We're all gonna die.

In a while I'll just repeat this poll and see if the mood is changing.

I might step my dissention up to the Jimmy Carter level in a few weeks, depending on what happens.

Post by **TheCatt** » Wed Mar 25, 2009 9:42 pm

Overall, I think he's done well.

That being said, we won't know the full effects of everything for a while, so I'm reserving judgment.

I think my fave Obama moment so far was when, asked why he gave a shitty gift to the PM of England, claimed he was "overwhelmed."

Very Presidential.

When was the inauguration? Think it has not been 3 months. Took way more than 3 months to get in this condition in the first place.

We were heading down a steep hill when he took office. He's mashing on the accelerator.
