FROM 2012 INTO 2013 POLITICS THREAD

[doctorquant]

George F. Will got off a pretty good line the other day re: the Putin-Obama comparisons ... "In a contest between a dilettante and a dictator, bet on the latter."

I merely said I admired the way Putin comports himself.

That he might have any objector poisoned has nothing to do with how he comports himself.

As opposed to Obama, who lets his political enemies across the aisle kick the shirt out of him, and then goes back with cookies mama baked until they do it some more.

What an honor, Spinoza - you deigning to contradict me.

I think many of Mr. Obama's objectors simply don't respect him as a masculine leader.

You admire a bigot who stifles free speech. Yeah, that fits.

You admire the comedy of the noted anti-religious bigot Bill Maher.
So shove it up your rear end, small man.

No, the Russians are not down with the gays.
They make no bones about it and don't apologize for it.
He projects an image to be respected, does it intentionally and successfully.
We need an alpha male in the executive office.
A world leader should be powerful and have a element of gravitas.
Not play golf, throw a baseball like a girl, wear Mom jeans and give speeches.

The Duma pitched a shutout against "teh gays". Gotta disagree with you on this one Fart.
But otherwise, I think he's twice the leader abroad that the apologizer in chief is.

Obama just goes through the IRS and NSA to deal with those who pish him off. And he's got the Chicago gangsters who are masters in civics there.

I know the Repugs would love to put a leader in the White House.

If only they could find one.

 

[BenPoquette]

Even the biggest Obama water carrier on here doesn't, in my eyes, really have his/heart in it anymore. Now they are more concerned in not being wrong all along than really paying attention and accepting that they put all their faith in a dismal failure.

Ted Cruz.
Chris Christie.
Whoever the Huck PAC comes up with.

I am very curious to see what the post-presidency Obama will be like.
We all know about his fetish for giving speeches, and how horny that makes his water carriers.
Look for him to make a fortune doing that, and write a few bland books.
But what else? He won't have even the respect equity Carter has built.

Learn to read, fart boy. What I said was tony was slamming Maher because he can't stand anybody who is happy to rip both parties.

Though I am an admirer or George Carlin, who was every bit as anti-religion as Maher. That doesn't mean I agree with everything he said. heck, Carlin even offended me sometimes. But he was brilliant and funny as heck.

Of course, anybody with any sense understands that we should hold a world leader to a different standard than a comedian. Not that anybody ever accused you of having any sense.
