Obama says ” Republicans oppose my policies”:
I think early on, a decision was made by the Republican leadership that said, ‘Look, let’s not give him a victory, maybe we can have a replay of 1993, ’94, when Clinton came in, he failed on health care and then we won in the mid-term elections and we got the majority. And I think there are some folks who are taking a page out that playbook,” the president said.
Gosh, who’da thunk it? An opposition party actually opposing?
Trying to provide an alternative? Dissenting?
What kind of country does he think this is?
Mitch says: “I make all this shit up.”
Well, he didn’t actually *say* say it. But I put it in quotes. Cause that’s what he’s really saying, right Mitch?
Or maybe you just call these things: (” “) “intellectually dishonest wingnut paraphrase marks.”
With an ego the size of President Obama’s, is it really surprising that he thought even the Republicans would go along with him?
I don’t know if I’d come down too harshly on Dear Leader for this one. I mean I’m also a bit shocked that the Republicans in Congress remembered to oppose this one. Even more so that they didn’t cave (yet) under pressure.
When I watched this I got the same impression as Dave. This man is so arrogant he thinks he’s strategizing for both parties. The GOP can’t oppose Obamacare because national health would be a financial disaster. No they simply oppose Obama, the center of the known Universe.
What a joke.
Haha! Yeah, it’s about the policy. That’s why you kooks are showing up to town hall meetings with guns and Hitler posters.
Mention “Obamacare” in a post or comment and you’ll predictably get someone saying, “there’s no such thing as Obamacare; Obama hasn’t proposed anything; there are many different proposals; you’re just making this about Obama you right-wing, dummy-head hater.” Seems to me the president is personalizing this quite a bit by referring to “my” policies. Maybe HE thinks it’s all about him.
I know Mitch maintains Angryclown is actually funny, but AC’s shtick has gotten old to the point it’s like Rain Man reciting the Abbott and Costello “Who’s on first” bit.
With apologies to Abbott and Costello. . .
Sure Clownie. Last year it was your kooks showing up with Bushitler pictures.
Nothing like the high ground. Nothing at all.
Too bad you can’t even address a simple point.
Kermit will now go back to igoring your moronic blathering.
The Hitler hoisters have been outed as LaRouche kooks.
I’m not surprised though, that the moonbat left is frozen with fear at the sight of a black man with a AR-15….one of these days they’re bound to realize who was responsible for Cabrini Greens, Robert Taylor Homes, Strawberry Mansions and every other ghetto the Democrats set up to keep them down.
Lyndon Johnson changed the official KKK colors from white and red to blue, and they never looked back.
What alternative? Tax cuts for the rich, no solution for health care, etc..
The point he was making, and it was DAMNED clear, was that your party is out of power for a reason, namely, you cooperated well ONLY with yourselves. You have no intent to be bipartisan unless it means the other party (the Democrats) gives you everything and wants nothing. You don’t seem to have any interest in comprimise, equitable and workable solutions, or inclusion of anyone or anything that doesn’t exatly march to your drumbeat.
I know you’ll disagree, but you are feigning not understanding something I think you very clearly do know and understand. Anyone who steps out of line in your party is invited to leave, and you have no interest in working together, you merely want to get in the way. While that’s one role, it’s hardly a helpful role.
Penigma, you are being foolish.
Joe Lieberman was the Democrat VP candidate in 200. Just four years later he had to run as an independent to keep his senate seat.
Until you can deal with that you have no right — none at all – to blather nonsense like “You don’t seem to have any interest in comprimise, equitable and workable solutions, or inclusion of anyone or anything that doesn’t exatly march to your drumbeat” and “Anyone who steps out of line in your party is invited to leave, and you have no interest in working together, you merely want to get in the way.”.
AC is a Larouche supporter.
Peev seems to forget just how “bipartisan” the Democrats were on Bush judicial nominations. The GOP run Senate rufused to use the “nuclear option” to change the rules. Harry Reid will use “reconciliation” to do just that.
Three fingers pointed right back at you, Peev.
Larouche is a democrat.
Peev’s comment was so rich in irony, you could tap it and run an irony energy reactor capable of powering most of the east coast for the next 50 years.
Haha! Sure, shiftee. All those fat, sweaty dittoheads shouting down their Congressmen are Real ‘Muricans. But once they reach a certain level of crazy, you promote ’em from Republicans to LaJRoosh supporters.
Classic tactic alert!
Instead of addressing the subject, which is Obama trying to shift the blame to Republicans from his Blue Dogs, focus on something completely unrelated, like town hall protesters.
Pathetic.
Sometime before 2012 the dems will have to come to terms with the fact that affirmative action can award you a law degree and political office, but it can’t make you smart.
I get it, Terry! Cause he’s black!
It says so much about him doesn’t it?
I mean AC reveals so much about himself… like, he couldn’t count to 20 and a half without being naked.
Badda – I thought you didn’t approve of little dick jokes.
No, Angry Clown, because he acts like he’s stupid. He can’t tell the difference between 53% and 100%. Any idea what his grades were at Occidental? How he did on the GRE? The LSAT? No? Of course not.
Hell, why do you think he got offered tenure on hire at the University of Chicago? Because of his winning smile? It sure wasn’t because of his scholarly work.
It was “Cause he’s black!”
Obama on Aug 20:
“This has been an example of just pure misinformation out there. None of the bills that have been voted on in Congress, and none of the proposals coming out of the White House propose giving coverage to illegal immigrants — none of them. That has never been on the table; nobody has discussed it. So everybody who is listening out there, when you start hearing that somehow this is all designed to provide health insurance to illegal immigrants, that is simply not true and has never been the case.”
Obama on Aug 14:
Obama: “You are absolutely right that I can’t cover another 46 million people for free”.
Ten million of those 46 million are illegal aliens.
What a frikkin’ idiot.
Wait a second; President Blago was a lecturer, not a prof, at Chicago. What’s your source on the tenure allegation, Terry? Seems odd that a lecturer would be offered tenure–and even with affirmative action, it’s unheard of that a guy would be granted that just out of law school.
If true, damning of Rockefeller’s U, but I don’t think it is.
And AC, your doctor prescribed those meds for a good reason. Take ’em.
When the law school tried to hire Mr. Obama after his failed 2000 congressional race, it was for a tenured job, according to Daniel Fischel, the dean at the time. In our interview, I asked him if he meant “tenure-track,” and he said no. “He would be hired as a tenured professor,” he explained. The faculty would vote, but Mr. Obama already had their support, he added.

When he was running against Hillary, Team Obama made a big deal about the fact that he was a legal scholar. The way you evaluate a scholar is you look at his body of work. In Obama’s case there is no body of work. It’s embarrassing to see his followers try to turn his few legal notes, his curiculum and his exam questions into a ‘body of work’. His most noted accomplishment as a law student was that he was the chief editor of Harvard Law Review, and that is an elected position. It’s not awarded on any objective measure of merit.
The man is a popinjay.
Terry, you embarrass yourself when you wade into the legal stuff. You really don’t know what you’re talking about.
You really don’t know what you’re talking about.
Uhhh . . . aren’t you a clown?
You really don’t know what you’re talking about.
Easy to say.
Harder to demonstrate.
And waaay easier than defending Obama on his relative merits these days. Better to impugn Great Leader’s detractors. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
As editor of the Harvard Law Review he must have written something. Should be easy to find. Right AC?
you kooks are showing up to town hall meetings with guns
And again – please list of any charges that were filed. That’d be great.
and Hitler posters.
Which seems to be the work of Larouchians.
Zat so? Cause there have been a lot of Nazi posters and a lot of people throwing “Nazi” and “Hitler” around at these nut-fests. Somehow you know they’re all LaRooshians, eh?
As Confucius say:
“Easy to say.
Harder to demonstrate.”
Larouche is a democrat, Hitler was a socialist. Is there really any argument these facts? Has someone been rewriting history?
Does Godwin’s Law have a special exemption for Angry Clown?
Um, was that you attempting to “demonstrate” something angryclown? If so, you mostly failed.
Democrats should oppose ObamaCare as well.
The President went out of his way to make sure very little beyond glittering generalities could be associated with “his” version of “health care reform”. He provides no good reasons why the things he wants will make US health care any better than it is today.
“Cover More People” and “Cost Less”? Could the bullshit be more obvious? No, no it could not.
Hospital meals to include more jello! That’s a demand from Obama, not a request.
Master, I usually don’t… but it’s right up Clown’s alley, and he knows I don’t mean it.
I get it, Terry! Cause he’s black!
Just a reminder- Barack Obama is also white.
As Confucius say: “Easy to say. Harder to demonstrate.”
Nope, not aware of that quote by 孔子.
You’re not Kermit’s brother-in-law, are you buddha?
Speaking of Ivy Leaguers, here’s a pic of the guy who claims to represent me in the government of the Reinstated Hawaiian Kingdom:
http://www.hawaiitribune-herald.com/articles/2009/08/21/local_news/local02.img
At least they teach you to dress well at Harvard.
BTW, this is not a file snapshot. The guy knew the newspaper wanted to take his picture as an official representative of the Reinstated Hawaiian Kingdom. He still couldn’t bring himself to put on a shirt or turn his cap around the right way.
Well Terry, here’s the Ivy Leaguer who claims to represent me in the halls of the US Senate:
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii214/kjpilot/franken4.jpg
According to Wiki, Ivy is particularly valuable for covering unsightly walls. And to look pretty.
Sounds about right.
Mr. Shirt, maybe I’ve been in Hawaii too long, but the picture of Franken doesn’t really bother me. Hell, ever seen Bedtime for Bonzo?
What bothers me about Franken is that he is a hard-left ideologue who is supposed to represent the 50% of Minnesota voters who voted for someone else. A senator shouldn’t think that half of his constituency is insane and evil. Franken does. From my far remove in the middle of the Pacific, it seems to me that Coleman had better Minnesota feng shui than Franken. Coleman suited the state better. Too bad he was a putz when it came to hardball election politics.
Clownie wondered “You’re not Kermit’s brother-in-law, are you buddha?”
My brothwr-in-law is a Lutheran. Buddha used to be a Lutheran. Nice stereotype though. Bet you think all black folk have to be Baptists.
No way, Kerm. You know *two separate* Chinese guys? Wow, that makes it extra impossible for you to be a racist. How could Angryclown have been so blind?
Terry blathered: “A senator shouldn’t think that half of his constituency is insane and evil.”
Gee, I wonder what it would be like if an American political party actually demonized its opponents in that way?
Jesus H. Christ or some other smart guy said “As ye sow, so shall ye reap.” Reap on this awhile, wingnuts!
angryclown said:
“Gee, I wonder what it would be like if an American political party actually demonized its opponents in that way?”
And that is why angryclown is funny. In more than one way.
I keep looking at that last comment of yours, Angry Clown, but I still can’t find anything that makes sense. Maybe you commented on the wrong thread?
Or is there a Republican senator who spent years demonizing Democrats and liberals in print and on the airwaves & got his seat by defeating a moderate with 50% of the vote?
Clownie is too busy nurturing his preconceptions to actually, you know, think about what he says.
He really is the Rain Man of SitD. Only instead of Judge Wapner it’s Keith Olbermann.
