Moderators ThudMaker Posted February 5, 2009 Moderators Share Posted February 5, 2009 makes no sense to me The voters are speaking to their elected officials and demanding that the path they are trying to go down is BS. That's the way things change. It makes perfect sense if you live in America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was that his slogan was "The change we need" but now that he's in office, things are going on that are making so many people angry that the phone banks are flooded. Explaining takes the fun out of it. SYG,IGH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The change we need is that everyone in the US gets tired of all these elected officials blowing smoke up our arses and the phone banks, voice mail and email gets lit up non-stop, all day and every day.

Members Bernie P. Posted February 5, 2009 Members Share Posted February 5, 2009 Obama's response to all this is just going back into his campaign mode rhetoric with his "I'm in charge" line added.Guess he thought the American people would accept all his ideas as they did him without question.I knew he was a lying left-wing extremist asshole from the start.

Members jasper383 Posted February 5, 2009 Members Share Posted February 5, 2009 I see a growing gap between the two Obamas. Which one is the real one, as an Obama divided cannot stand. There's the pragmatic Obama; the one who talks of "doing what works", the one who assembled a pretty centrist Cabinet that includes Republicans, and the one willing to pull Republicans into talks. This, I think, is the real Obama. This is, imo, a good thing. Then there's this other Obama; the one trying to jam nearly $1T of pork past the US public, or else the sky will fall. The one feverishly signing executive orders to satisfy the Left as much as possible. Is this the real Obama, or is this actually the Dem Congress speaking through him?

The REAL Obama is the one BEFORE he started duping people into believing he's who they need for President.He's back.Did you really expect him to change because he got the top gov job?Chico E. said it best- "Keep your eye on the ball".

Members JeffBass Posted February 5, 2009 Members Share Posted February 5, 2009 Yesterday: 1. Outgoing President George W. Bush quietly boards his helicopter and leaves for Texas, commenting only: "Today is not about me. Today is a historical day for our nation and people." Eight years ago yesterday: 1. Outgoing President Bill Clinton schedules two separate radio addresses to the nation, and organizes a public farewell speech/ rally in downtown Washington D.C. scheduled to directly conflict with incoming President Bush's inauguration ceremony. Yesterday: 2. President Bush leaves office without issuing a single Presidential pardon, only granting a commutation of sentence to two former border patrol agents convicted of shooting a convicted drug smuggler. He does not grant any type of clemency to Scooter Libby or any other former political aide, ally, or business partner. Eight years ago yesterday: 2. President Clinton issues 140 pardons and several commutations of sentence on his final day in office. Included in these are: billionaire financier, convicted tax evader, and leading Democratic campaign contributor Marc Rich; Whitewater scandal figure Susan McDougal; Congressional Post Office Scandal figure and former Democratic Congressman Dan Rostenkowski; convicted bank fraud, sexual assault and child porn perpetrator an d former Democratic Congressman Melvin Reynolds; and convicted drug felon Roger Clinton, the President's half-brother. Yesterday: 3. The Bush daughters leave gift baskets in the White House bedrooms for the Obama daughters, containing flowers, candy, stuffed animals, DVD's and CD's, and heartfelt notes of encouragement and advice for the young girls on how to prepare for their new lives in the White House. Eight years ago Yesterday: 3. Clinton and Gore staffers rip computer wires and electrical outlets from the White House walls, stuff piles of notebook papers into the White House toilets, systematically remove the letter "W" from every computer key-pad in the entire White House, and damage several thousand dollars worth of furniture in the White House master bedroom. Headlines On This Date 4 Years Ago: "Republicans spending $42 million on inauguration while troops Die in unarmored Humvees". "Bush extravagance exceeds any reason during tough economic times" "Fat cats get their $42 million inauguration party, Ordinary Americans get the shaft" Headlines Today: "Historic Obama Inauguration will cost only $170 million" "Obama Spends $170 million on inauguration; America Needs A Big Party" "Everyman Obama shows America how to celebrate" "Citibank executives contribute $8 million to Obama Inauguration" THE END Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does not grant any type of clemency to Scooter Libby or any other former political aide, ally, or business partner. I don't know about the rest of it but to be fair, this isn't entirely true. He pardoned a pile of people but not a single one that hadn't already served their entire sentence. This was done to eliminate collateral effects.

Members JeffBass Posted February 6, 2009 Members Share Posted February 6, 2009 I never thought Obama was an A-Hole, I personally like the man despite his leanings. I did think Clinton was a A-hole however, he made my skin crawl from the very beginning and Hillary's the same way. I'm hoping and praying that Obama's able to cut some of the the fat outa this bailout plan. WAY too much chum's got all the libs are in a feeding frenzy!

Members Emprov Posted February 6, 2009 Members Share Posted February 6, 2009 I'm hoping and praying that Obama's able to cut some of the the fat outa this bailout plan. WAY too much chum's got all the libs are in a feeding frenzy!It doesn't sound like he's having a lot of patience for the process. I read an article yesterday saying that but Dems and Reps are going over the plan line by line but that the bill would be much stronger coming out. The tone of the article was actually pretty positive, like both parties were truly working together. A few hours later, Obama opens his mouth, saying that the we're not going to get anything done by relying on the same old tactics, y'all are taking too long, yada yada. Uhmmmm, ok.
