Why wouldn't you drop those charges....thats common for this kind of thing. The arrest is the punishment for something like that in my opinion. Its not a big deal..and it got all sorted out. Obama has created a nice shit-storm for himself by going to the race card and calling an officer stupid.

Bill Cosby said it best:

“If I’m the president of the United States, I don’t care how much pressure people want to put on it about race, I’m keeping my mouth shut.”
“I was shocked to hear the president making this kind of statement,”

You listed a hodgepodge of conservative ideas that reads like the charter of the Edmund Burke society

Legalizing marijuana and whores is fine by me, but has ZERO relation to political reality.
Cut NASA spending? - why, so a few astronauts can join the already increasing unemployment lines?
Talk about driving us into a depression, every cut in government spending is more layoffs, and less money to programs like unemployment insurance and food stamps which are currently helping to keep struggling American afloat.
Yes, tax cuts can help depending at who they’re aimed at.
If they’re Bush tax cuts those are mostly saved, not spent.
My larger point is, you say Obama is making unemployment worse by intervening and yet history shows that unemployment rises even when gov't stays out of it.

A) Hodgepodge you are right about...but thats what makes my ideas NOT just conservative.

B) Developing Clean Coal Technology creates jobs and scares the oil speculators who drive up gas costs. Cheaper gas gives people more money...ECONOMY..GET IT

C) Maybe ZERO to political reality, but we'd be getting taxes from a now underground source.

D) NASA...just the Government's funding for 1 year. We need to send a message that folks need help on earth, and ants in gravity isn't a priority now. I could be wrong about this though.

E) The tax cuts I specified help everyone. Did you read them? More deductions for everyone. Cheaper for businesses to work....on and on. What I didn't do is give handouts.

Obama once again showed his inexperience (and immaturity) with his comments on the Gates ordeal. It reminded me of talk radio (all sides) that go off on things with few of the facts in hand. Wait til the shit hits the fan from the union (police). Probably already did since there was yet another "clarification" of what he meant. Surprised we haven't heard from Jackson or Sharpton yet. The president beat them to it.

He needs to remember every comment he makes has an enormous impact on the people of the United States.

I wasn't there and don't know the "facts", so I can't judge on the ordeal itself. All I do know is...if a cop came to my house to check on a possible burglary, I would be thrilled my neighbors and them are looking out for me. I would not start yelling them...IF that is what happened. This doesn't make sense. Why would a cop make that stuff up? I'm sure he didn't think an old dude with a cane was burglarizing anyone. This "you don't know who I am" shit is rediculous...if that was said. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

However, once again here seems to be an example as to why I can't believe anyone is foolish enough to be a cop. Sgt. Crowley will forever in some minds be a racist...regardless of the facts. You kidding me? They put their life on the line every day and they are constantly dealing with second guessing and individuals/groups calling foul. I can't imagine having a day full of split second decisions that could have a lifetime impact on them, their family and those they are dealing with. I really feel for them. Hell...it takes me five minutes to decide whether to subject myself to the razor sharp knives on this board by posting a couple of opinions. :lol:

I usually stay out of political threads but I heard a great comment on the news tonight from a guy on the street.

It was basically "Obama spent more time looking for a dog for his daughters than he wants to spend on health care reform". I just found that very interesting on his priorities that affect millions of people.

So by making healthcare reform one of his top priorities Obama is thereby showing that it is not a priority? :?
Instead of fighting to cover the uninsured, maybe Obama could be like the last idiot and fight to prevent the American public from importing lower cost drugs from Canada.
How does that sound?

You missed the point, as usual......he wants to spend LESS time on his, "prioirity" than he did picking the dog.......which was gifted to him after he couldn't even do that.

I understood the point just fine, thanks.
I'm pointing out that it’s a bogus one.
Rather than judging healthcare’s importance relative to Obama’s choice of dog, (a truly meaningless stupid standard), why not give credit for him tackling the issue in the first place?
It's high priority just by virtue of it being front and center on the agenda.
If you're looking for a substantive metric to compare Obama to, why no start with past presidents?
Namely, the last guy, and just how many days he spent working on healthcare.
(Just a hint, the answer's not 499 - that's how many days he spent stuffing firecrackers up frogs' asses in Crawford).

Hey, if you're gonna take potshots at Obama for not making healthcare his priority, it's only logical to assume you want his undivided attention on the matter.

Hint: Not buying what you're selling.

Did you serve as the real life inspiration for Stephen Colbert's conservative dumbass alter-ego?
"Healthcare is a liberal ideology" is almost as funny as Colbert's "facts have a well-known liberal bias."
Funny shit, man.

Fact Finder wrote:The reason for the fast track approach of getting this done by August was simply to pull the wool over the eyes of the public, as I've pointed out in my post from the Bill itself. The Congressmen are going home for the August recess and are going to get an ear full of "HELL NO" from their voters. These fuckers want electronic access to my bank account for electronic withdraws. They are talking about cutting back on end of life medical care because"it's useless, your gonna die anyway, so why don't you go ahead and die and save us all the trouble." I thought you liberals wanted HealthCare so we all could live longer. What's the deal? Hows this work that young healthy people get healthcare but babies and the old do not. Is it a production thing? Who is worthy and who is not, and what are your criteria?

You haven't pointed anything out.
75% of your cut n' paste jobs don't even include links.
Both England and Canada, those hotbeds of socialism, includes private hospitals for those unhappy with government care.
Why would a private market cease to exist here for people willing to pay?

I see...
Whereas I, of course, used the term "darkie" for no reason other than to commit white-hooded, lynch-mob racism. :roll:
Is that what you’re saying?
You seem to have selective ethics when it comes to who's a bigot and who’s engaging in Swiftian satire.
Of course, when a conservative blowhard accidentally shoots off his mouth or leaves his mic on, that’s not racist. Heavens no!
But should I happen to use a slang epithet in discussing historical racist practices (imagine that!), I am to be drawn and quartered.

As for Limbaugh, he has a history of such comments (“Take that bone out of your nose..”) and knows EXACTLY what he’s doing, and who he’s playing to.
You do too.

"liberal Democrats and their allies in the media didn't utter a word about David Ehrenstein's irresponsible column in the Los Angeles Times last March. But now, of course, they're shocked and appalled by its parody on 'The Rush Limbaugh Show."

As a black man, Ehrenstein can speak to such racial tropes - much in the same way Jackie Mason, Matt Stone, or Sarah Silverman invert existing stereotypes by ridiculing them.
As the wealthy scion of a prominent white lawyer family, Rush Limbaugh has not walked in those shoes. Sorry.
When was the last time you saw a gentile comedian cracking jokes about Jews?
David Chapelle resigned from Comedy Central in disgust over this sort of behavior.
Instead of tearing down prejudices, white suburbanite kids started going around cracking themselves up shouting the N-word.

Conservatives used to pride themselves on being contrarian to the Democratic establishment that ran this country.
Now you just oppose anything on its face, even basic decency and common sense.
Sadly, this is a textbook example of it.

Obama finally pays local parking tickets
By George P. Hassett, Senior Editor


Before Barack Obama was a United States senator and a presidential hopeful, he was a Harvard University law student living in Somerville who parked in bus stops and accumulated hundreds of dollars in parking tickets. And for nearly two decades those parking tickets went unpaid, until a representative of Obama’s settled all his outstanding debts with Cambridge’s Traffic, Parking and Transportation Department Jan. 26.

Obama attended Harvard Law School from 1988 to 1991. During his time at Harvard, Obama lived at 365 Broadway in Somerville, according to his parking tickets. Records from the Cambridge Traffic, Parking and Transportation office show that between Oct. 5, 1988 and Jan. 12, 1990 Obama was cited for 17 traffic violations, sometimes committing two in the same day. The abuses included parking in a resident permit area, parking in a bus stop and failing to pay the meter. Twelve of Obama’s 17 tickets were given to him on t the case...

assachusetts Avenue.

In one eight day stretch in 1988, Obama was cited seven times for parking violations and was fined $45. Thirteen of the 17 violations occurred within one month in 1988.

Obama’s disobedience of the rules of the road earned him $140 in fines from the City of Cambridge. The tickets went unpaid for over 17 years and $260 in late fees were added to the tab. On Jan. 26, the fines and late fees were paid in full. The final tally for Obama’s parking breaches was $400, according to Cambridge Traffic, Parking and Transportation.


Did they get payed on Jan 26th of THIS year? I certainly hope not! If so...apparently you can become president of the United States with outstanding citations, yet you can't join the military if you have even 1 outstanding parking ticket...I hope this isn't the case. :roll:

Oh yeah... I forgot... he isn't a US citizen, so it probably doesn't count against him! :wink:

They should have thrown his sorry ass in jail for neglecting to pay his fines. How has he been in public office for all of these years with those outstanding tickets? That makes me sick!

Just like all of these worthless, law-breaking congressmen who have rap sheets a mile long. :roll: The charges I've seen listed on some of these wastes of human flesh, would prohibit them from joining the military. Right now, anything more than 1 misdemeanor is disqualifying...yet these assholes can get arrested repeatedly, and still serve in Congress. They should wipe the slate clean with the entire Congress, start from scratch, and LIMIT their terms.

Can you tell I don't care for Congress? :shock:

To hell with drawing connections from a bygone age, just flip on your radio dial.
Guess who Beck, Sean, Rush, and Savage are all rooting for?
If you automatically assume this to mean ALL Conservatives are racist, well, hey, that’s your problem.
Given how often you blame the woes of the universe on loaded terms like “handouts” “freebies” and “welfare recipients”, I’d wager you DO hate black people.
Probably, Gays, Jews, and Mexicans, too.
If you take offense at this, let me just say in advance that it’s parody - like some plasma forcefield, this always seems to make everything OK.

Good luck leading a million-man march on that. Perhaps you can chant “Barack the Magic Negro” and the hits of Johnny Rebel as you approach the Capital.
When you're ready to debate like a man, and not some gilded freak doing the Texas two-step, let me know.

Excessive militarism is one of the 14 characteristics of fascism.
As we know from experience, Republicans react to the threat of a police state like a pig in shit.
For the past eight years and counting, there's been a blue light special on civil liberties and EVERYTHING MUST GO!!!
I'd rather place my faith in private citizens, if it's all the same to you.

I don't recall specifics, but I heard on the radio yesterday that BO's approval rating at this time is actually one point lower that W's at the same point in his term. I think it was his first term, because it seemed like they were talking about the fact that is was significant because of all the controversy regarding the so-called 'stealing the election', but I'm not sure. Either way, I find that very interesting.

I think he's destroying his own presidency by trying to do too many things at once, and not fixing one problem before moving on to the next, especially when it means BILLIONS of more debt.

As for the Gates issue, all I have to say is...

That one backfired on him in a big way. I guess he needs to take lessons from Biden in the STFU category. :?

In other words, run out the clock till 2012.
Bush must've lowered the bar to new subterranean depths if we suddenly think Presidents can only handle one thing at a time.

That one backfired on him in a big way. I guess he needs to take lessons from Biden in the STFU category. :?


Yeah, cuz the last thing we want is a President who is accountable and takes questions from the press. :roll:

Let’s be clear what we’re talking about here: a bunch of volunteers that worked on his campaign – just like ANY serious, well-heeled campaign, including McCains'.
In the past, you have also presented footage of the Black Panthers standing outside voting stations as proof of Obama's "fascism".
Of course, the Panthers were not on the payroll, and there's no proof to date they were doing the bidding of Obama.
So why bring them up?
The answer, dear Brutus, is that you hate colored folks.
Just more harmless Limbaugh-style parody, of course. :wink: :D

Eric wrote:Pushing through shit so nobody has time to read it....

NO single political party or president has a monopoly on this.
That's government.
Not condoning it, but to suggest this is somehow a new occurrence, only re-affirms that there’s no limit to your GOP cock jugglery.

Eric wrote:...treating himself like he's a Messiah...

No basis for this whatsoever.
We do know from Pat Robertson and Bush’s own interviews, however, that Bush took orders from Jesus.
Considering you and your ilk were titmouse silent on this, I imagine you think a God-complex is a healthy thing in our elected officials.

Eric wrote:...wanting to take over private firms

I think ordering the head of GM to leave was a step too far.
The rest, if temporary, is fine.
Unlike other countries with bank nationalization, the private management has not been wiped out.

Eric wrote:...or have the ability to....blocking GOP mailings.

C’mon now Eric.
Stop insulting this forum’s intelligence.
Everyone here knows how to Google.
The mailing was blocked because it violated House rules.


Already saw O’Reilly, (the first name in TV News self-sodomy), cover this.
I just laughed.
According to the Loofah King, us lefties are following the guidebook of some dead Ruskie named Saul Alinksy!
Yup! He's sure got me pegged! :roll: :lol:

The problem is that he's not 'handling' much of anything. He's doing a great job getting those 'shovel ready' jobs going like he promised, huh? :roll:

It's obvious that the Gates' question was a plant, and he thought he was gonna earn momentum by throwing the race card out there. Problem is, that he didn't know what he was talking about, and had to back-peddle, once again. The BO administration sure has to do a lot of clarifying, don't they?? As much as Bush was ridiculed, he was a man of 'say what you mean, and mean what you say'. With BO, it's all spin, all the time.
