The First Obama Term

Post by **TPRJones** » Sat Jan 07, 2012 12:48 am

From what I gather, Democrats did the same Senate-not-recess-really-sort-of-recess trick as Republicans, and Bush appointed someone anyway just like Obama did. But I'm too lazy to verify that.

Yes he did.

A lot of conservatives stay home if Ron Paul wins as well, I'm not sure why no one here understands that.

Fascinating. If true, this clearly shows that a lot of conservatives must be lying about how defeating Obama is so very important to them. Now, I understand why a Ron Paul supporter doesn't care if either Obama or Romney are in office, since both men will continue the foreign interventions, the bank bailouts, the debt-spending, and Obamacare.

But this raises the significant question of why a conservative supporting Romney would prefer Obama to Paul. What is the vital issue that separates Paul from Obama in Obama's favor in the eyes of these "conservatives"?

First lady Michelle Obama is challenging assertions she's forcefully imposed her will on White House aides, saying she's tired of people portraying her as "some kind of angry black woman."

I read that and all I can think is U MAD BRO?

And everybody feel sorry for the poor rich, powerful lady.

The Department of Commerce will celebrate its 109th anniversary this year, having been created in 1903. And if President Obama gets his way , the agency won't make it much past 110.

Holy Crap, really? That's actually pretty cool.

a new agency that will also fold in the tasks of the Small Business Administration, the U.S. Trade Representative, the Overseas Private Investment Corporation, the Trade and Development Agency and the Export-Import Bank.
..
This new agency would be smaller than the sum of its previous parts by up to two thousand employees (which will be lost through attrition, the White House says), and saving $3 billion over the next decade, said Jeffrey Zients, head of management at the Office of Management and Budget.

Impressive. IF it actually happens. I read an interesting theory once that President whose party "owns" an issue can actually sometimes make progress AGAINST that issue. For example, only Nixon could go to China (Republicans were anti-Communist), whereas only Bill Clinton could end welfare-as-we-know-it (Democrats are pro-welfare).

Can you imagine if Bush had tried to shut down a cabinet-level department?

President chooses to not create some new jobs in America.

Or, chooses to not allow more jobs to be created in America, I guess would be more accurate.

Republicans made him talk that way because all they want is for him to fail.

Obama: It is the Republicans' fault that I had to kill the pipeline, because they are just playing politics, unlike me, as I am above politics and just telling you that it is Repulicans' fault.

My dad's watches O'Reilly when sports aren't on (typically that's all he watches) mainly to catch Dennis Miller, but he said some black Democrat was on the other night ripping the Republicans for having a debate on MLK day. I guess O'Reilly let him shoot his mouth off for about 2 minutes declaring how this was proof the party was racist, and blah, blah, blah.

O'Reilly then stopped him and showed the guy video of the Dems holding some big convention on MLK in 2008. The guys says, "Well, that was a different situation..."

I guess another clip on the same show had Democratic officials saying, "The reason Republicans are running against Barrack for president is because they're racist."

Apparently, the Dems want to get that "white guilt" vote again in November.

Obama: I don't like nuclear power, either.

Old article, but the entire thing is a "here's why Dems are full of shit about voter IDs" quote.

I'm sure the "when you see one there's another 10 you don't see" cockroach rule does not apply at all. Isolated incidents.

Every recent voter fraud story has involved democrats, yes?

America just doesn't deserve Obama

As Michelle said to Oprah in an interview she did with the president last May: “I always told the voters, the question isn’t whether Barack Obama is ready to be president. The question is whether we’re ready. And that continues to be the question we have to ask ourselves.”

They still believed, as their friend Valerie Jarrett once said, that Obama was “just too talented to do what ordinary people do.”

I guess she is no longer proud of her country. That didn't last long.

3 minutes into tonights debate and someone uses the word CHANGE. Same old bullshit different year. Elect a Republican and Democrats will stone wall them. Same old shit different year. At least I think Obama tried. Better than this bullshit. I get so tired of the lies. Money talks bullshit walks. That means me and middle America suffers.
Prediction. Ron Paul has to much common sence and will be shot if coming close to being elected.

Secret leaked memo: Obama's stimulus was mainly to advance his political agenda, and they knew they were running up crippling deficits.
