President Barack Obama - Term 1 and 2 Thread

[The_Noble_Cause]

I'm not a fan of liberal views and am a registered Republican, but I wouldn't say I'm conservative because I'm not at all religious.

That's only one plank of Conservativism.
You can be an atheist and still be a Con.
You can suck dick and be a Con - just check out the Log Cabin Republicans (or rather, don't).
Personally, for the movement to survive, I hope they excise the social/religious portion and return to some sort of Goldwater/Ron Paul/Buchanan isolationist small gov't hybrid.

Off topic, I have an older, conservative teacher who has strong opposition towards Obama. She says he makes overtures of communism all the time.

And that's a surprise? A dark red state, Bible Velt territory, anti abortion, Jesus Jesus Jesus, and probably deep down not at all liking a black fellow in the white House. Sorry, but that's how Kentucky is more or less viewed. the only thing good about KY happens this Saturday at 5PM. After that, flush that fucker into the Atlantic for another 364 days.

No offense taken, because you hit the nail on the head. Fortunately, I was born in Pennsylvania.

She should read his biographies - his stance on communism is perfectly clear.

Who's? Obama's? Care to elaborate? I don't feel like reading another book today.

Well, stretch yourself to one chapter then, the first one in Dreams From My Father.

Goddammit Gordy, I don't have the fucking book. I have to work in 6 hours and haven't slept since yesterday morning. Are you saying Obama is a Communist wannabe?

No! Quite the opposite dude! The more i learn about him - the more respect i have.

yeah ok..... obama'a fault, right?

"But new tax withholding tables issued by the IRS could cause millions of taxpayers to get hundreds of dollars more than they are entitled to under the credit, money that will have to be repaid at tax time."

seems more like a tax table needing adjustment. why not admit you are sitting there, foaming at the mouth as you search for "gotcha" stuff on our president? the first 100 days have not been disastrous, quite the contrary i'd say.

[Rockindeano]

Hey Cons, don't like taxes, get the fuck out already. Pretty simple.

Alot are getting out Dean. Taking all their money and staying home. That's what happens when capitalism is attacked like it is. Fun huh!

[Lula]

let us not forget that the trend of so-called socialism started more than 103 days ago.

That's why the stock market continues to climb. I recall FF letting us all know of the impending doom. He was, um, wrong.

If you think the market is up you are a fool. It will go up when the big boys put their money back in it, which doesn't look likely anytime soon. Enjoy your new auto business.

The anti-American 'right' are intentionally damaging the economy.

Some substantiation of that would be really nice unless you're not being serious.

They are keeping their money close to home.

My point exactly. Selfishness. Fuck the economy. You were a great help in my position, thanks.

That's silly. Selfishness my ass. It's fucking my money.

Certainly is. Enjoy watching your neighbors moving out of their houses.

The 'right' just don't get it.

What ARE they doing that *IS*?

You're a fair guy; I've seen you post before. Because of that, you know that its your responsibility to substantiate your claims with specific examples.

Certainly. And here it is. Corporate America. Look it up.

And I'll bolster this with an educated observation. I hired on with a major American organization in 1983. At that time, the upper management of that organization were making 10X that of the bottom worker. Not too bad huh? Now it's 400X. I know that doesn't sound like an economical melt down, but, if you put that equation to every company in America, it most certainly does. And that is a definite reality today. And they're shameless.

Certainly not Mr. "ME".

Two flaws:

a) You label the right with that then simply use "corporate America." That doesn't work unless you can correlate it, irrefutably, with the rest of the conservative movement.

b) You label the entirety of corporate America with that; and with that, you don't satisfy the question. I asked for specific examples and you didn't provide them.

[Rick]

I haven't worked the last 30 years for you. Keep your hands off my stuff.

YOU? Don't even fucking pretend to put me in that category. I've worked all my god damned life and paid taxes. I'm so pissed I can't type. Asshole.

I hope you're not being that cynical, that obtuse as to think that he is simply labeling you as management.

LOL, thanks for the laugh. You bet it's a flaw. Movement? What movement? A heartbeat away from non existence? LOL, you conservatives keep praying.
