If anyone that that Obama could change in three and a half years what it took George Bush to fuck up in eight, they must be smoking crack. This country was fucked up when Obama took over. It's going to take time but this bullshit about "taking America back" back where? Back to when a white man was the leader of the free world? Back to when "darkies knew their place?" Back to the 1700's? 1800's? Obama may not have all the answers but the rhetoric spewing from Herman Munster and Little Eddie Munster is very scary.
And as for being the worst president ever, that honor still goes to his predecessor.

Ah yes, the "blame it on Bush" defense.

Once again - Obama's supporters cannot make a case for him getting four more years based on merit or accomplishments, just that "Bush sucked worse" and "Romeny is rich and cares only about rich people"

And while we are at it - I got a kick out of the scandal made out of Romney's "47 percent" comment.

Was he lying?

I don't think so - most people in this country are increasingly dependent on government to live and that's why they are going to vote for guys like Obama who talk about handing out more goodies.

Poor Mitt:

DES MOINES (The Borowitz Report)—A new Mitt Romney is emerging in the closing days of the campaign, aides say: a man who is increasingly “being eaten alive with jealousy” by President Obama’s budding relationship with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.

While Mr. Romney has told reporters that he is “totally fine” with Gov. Christie flying around in a helicopter with President Obama, privately he has told aides, “Seeing him with Chris Christie is tearing me apart.”

The trouble began earlier this week, a Romney aide said, when Mr. Romney saw Mr. Christie on CNN mention that President Obama “had given him his number at the White House.”

“Mitt was like, ‘Fine, whatever, do we have to watch this?’ and then basically ran out of the room,” the aide said. “It was completely awkward.”

Making matters worse, the aide said, “Chris Christie isn’t returning his calls.”

“Mitt was trying to explain his position on FEMA to reporters yesterday and he got all excited because his phone started vibrating,” the aide said. “It turned out it was just Ann.”

Mr. Romney, who has been seen doodling Chris Christie’s name in the margins of his briefing books in recent days, has apparently decided on a new course of action: to make the New Jersey governor jealous.

“He’s been calling [New York Governor Andrew] Cuomo,” the aide said. “But Cuomo won’t call him back either. It’s all so sad."

Mitt Romney is jelly?

So what exactly is Romney's position on FEMA? I thought it was immoral to pay for disaster relief when handing it over to states, or better yet the private sector.

Re: THE 2012 POLITICS THREAD

I love how some people show up here every few months, rant and rave about politics, call everyone fucktard, and otherwise show they've paid minimal, at best, attention to what's going on, by tossing out declarations and proclamations rooted in almost zero truth. Their cynicism, while certainly justified, also preventing them from achieving even a minimal grasp of facts because they're too busy ignoring everything until they come on to this thread.

I've only called one person fucktard and I have tremendous grasp of the facts because I read all day and every day.

The difference between you and I, however, is I have a brain and therefore I don't buy everything favorable to one side or the other hook line and sinker like you and the rest of the Kool Aid drinkers.

And i haven't ranted or raved, yet, but I will if you really want to see that.

One jackass asked for a case to be made for Mitt Romney, I simply reversed the question and rather than getting even a minimal case to be made I've gotten a bunch of horse shit, generalizations and talking points that mean nothing not too mention the same old band of "Bush and Romney" suck....

Because dooley said it better than I could:

If it came down to cleverness of YouTube videos, Gary Johnson would get my vote. But since it doesn't...

Barack Obama is one of the rare politicians who delivered on much of what he promised. He said he would get health care reform passed, and he did, saving my family thousands. He said we'd be out of Iraq, and we are. He saved the domestic auto industry. His Justice Department has refused to enforce Defense of Marriage, and Don't Ask/Don't Tell.

He also said an economic recovery was gonna take time, but it is edging in the right direction. He has governed with forthrightness and has communicated in a grownup manner, as opposed to obstructors.

Four more years

Re: THE 2012 POLITICS THREAD

I am wondering why Obama hasn't bragged about the fact that the capital gains tax is going to balloon from 15% to 20% for a lot of people and perhaps as high as 25% for people who make more than $250,000.

I mean, seriously, this is the kind of thing that the 47% should love - rich people and small business owners finally being forced to pay their fair share!
