    Jay Leno compares Obamao to Nixon, then points out the comparison isn't fair -- Nixon's unemployment rate was only 5 percent.

    Has Holder been convicted of any crimes, or authorized torture, or organized mass arrests of people he disagreed with? Thought so.

    OJ, with respect for those who suffered (and I'm sure you know plenty who were), fine. He visited those. But let's go back a little bit to Joplin. Did he attend the service there - in similar devastation? Was Missouri in play in the 2012 election? Yep. I find this ironic whether you do or not. His favor among the masses is not good in Oklahoma, as I'm sure you know. Joplin made arrangements. If there was a reason other than political that those arrangements were not made here, then let's hear it. Even if he visited where he visited, it created a hell of a security issue...it does ANYWHERE the president lands. So maybe you'll come out of lurking and address that. And I would imagine that a hell of a lot more would have bitched had he not come at all.

    And regardless of whether you think I'm an asshole or not, I hurt for your community. Twice in a generation is too damn much.

    We'll never know the breadth of his criminal transgression as the president has been protecting him like a mother hen.
    You mentioned you were undereducated.
    You should do more reading and less posting.

    Convicted? Well, not yet.

    And there is no doubt at all that he has authorized the harassment of at least one reporter - and his parents - considered unfavorable to the administration and has ordered his jack-booted thugs to seize - on legally shaky grounds at best - personal phone records of AP employees.

    And given that nobody gets caught the first time It's safe to assume these aren't isolated incidents. It's a pattern and he needs to be frog-marched out of the DoJ in leg irons.

    And unless you're comparing Obama to one of the Kims or Castro - which is understandable - I'm not sure where the mass arrests stuff is coming from.

    Bit puzzled on the torture reference too since our military has carried out "torture" (as the liberal trash defines it) for decades under administrations from both sides of the aisle. Only a waste of sperm such as yourself would attempt to posit any other reality.

    I still don't understand why people are surprised that a pinko lib from the typical inner-city wing of a typical big-city political machine could turn out, oh, say ... not understanding how the economy works.
    Or be surprised that someone who emerged from the ass end of a corrupt political machine would be equally corrupt.
    Or that he would bring his equally corrupt cronies with him to the White House.
    Or that he would revert to the same slimy tactics from back home as needed.
    Especially when Bill's sperm is still on the Oval Office rug, as we very recently had eight years of the same monkey business from the same party.
    Why is anyone surprised by any of this?

    So, you assume guilt of other actions based on, well, nothing really. Nobody gets caught the first time? I'd question if you really think that is worthwhile evidence, but you've never cared about such things, so I'm not surprised.

    Hell, you might be right, but your standards when it comes to making accusations are a joke.

    Any time you want to bring substance to the thread, please feel free.

    Speaking of people with no standards.

    I'm sorry if the concept is too difficult for you to understand, fart boy, but inappropriate accusations deserve to be questioned. That IS substance. Please, try to do a better job of keeping up next time.

    As the guy who coined the name Fart Boy, I insist that it be capitalized.

    I mean, the guy owns a tux now. Fart Boy must be trifled with properly.

    You snotty little bastard.
    You're not in any position of advantage over me, so drop that pretense real quick.
    You will stick to the subject matter here or you'll go bore the rest of the board elsewhere.
    Is that understood?
