WaPo’s propaganda talking point is that Obama will now socialize with the Rs – because he is THAT charming.
I am old enough to remember when the same papers used the same words for W – usually for his trips abroad
Boston Globe has a strange headline AFGHANISTAN DUTY, CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
They do know people there are Muslim, right? Right? Read the rest of this entry »
Remember the good old times when Obama proclaimed he was not like W?
Having used Clinton to whitewash his trickle down deal,
Obama is quick to sic his propagandists to tell us he is not Clinton
* It’s good to see that Obama is so uninterested in the “triangulation” game that he’s banned the word in the White House:
several advisers confirmed, the word “triangulation” has been banned by Mr. Obama because he does not believe it accurately describes his approach.
I guess it would comfort everyone to know, what Obama does when giving the store to the Rs is called “post-partisanship”.
Triangulation – which is a name the media came up with – had a purpose of insuring that at least some of the actual Clinton agenda went through.
WaPo provides us with an added dose of comfort
Triangulation just isn’t Obama’s style, and his scolding of liberals seems to be rooted in genuine frustration with them for disagreeing with him about what’s politically possible, given today’s realities. To whatever degree Obama is using his disagreement with the left for positioning purposes, it’s more about temperament than ideology: His role is that of the voice of sanity trying to talk sense into uncompromising partisans on both sides. This just isn’t Clintonian triangulation in any sense.
So, let me see if I get this: he is not attacking the left so the Rs like him. He is attacking them because he really, really, genuinely doesn’t like them.
I feel much better now.
Another reason? Obama is lawyering up. Ahead of time
And: The White House is staffing up on lawyers to prepare for the coming wave of House GOP investigations.
Now, that’s foresight!
Ad I agree with the article too: Obama is not, in any way like Clinton.
The tax cut for the rich and upcoming cuts in social security are a distant memory. A few bills later in the senate and the drool is back
Best. President. Ever.
Few are still awake
His friends agree:
He’s doing great things for them. And there’s more ahead. Permalink
He is of course attacked by the loving flock
And what does a “Best President Ever” do?
Obama administration readies indefinite detention order for Guantanamo detainees
They are not happy with this
10. W and Dick would be proud, Obama. >:(
You make me sick to my stomach, sir. Permalink
Do I detect a bit of KO style in that one?
Others have a sense of priorities too
I don’t care that much about START. I do care about a dem President
announcing Social Security cuts in a State of the Union address. I think it frickin’ appalling.
Of course, the cheerleaders at this point deny it will happen (later they’ll explain how this is a good thing)
9. The voices in my head tell me that Obama is going to have a great SOTU address.
But more are thinking it
The Democratic leaders are not even pretending to defend Social Security.
(Good rant follows)
A short sum up:
59. We’ve been had.
The reality is that we have been had. Permalink
Some are really confused
What the hell is wrong with making deals?
one answers with a good cartoon
One has a good sentence
69. Giving away your daughter for only one goat — deal making.
More koolaid, please! This one is starting to wake up:
Is it only me or does anyone else feel like these were not Obama’s victories?
Senate democrats, sure but I remain furious at Obama for the tax cut compromise. Am I all alone. Is everyone else just drinking the celebratory kool-aid and forgetting the tax deal. We’re still screwed people.
Some are still high up there
9. I’m celebrating the most successful Congress since FDR times
These are Obama’s victories, including the tax bill that helps millions of unemployed.
These are Pelosi’s victories.
These are Reid’ victories.
Can’t we be happy about the incredible successes for one day before the complaining starts? Sheesh. Permalink
Some can’t afford to celebrate
13. My parents are currently, barely, living on SS and Medicare(caid)
But the site administrator tells all they should
16. These victories belong to all of us.
More wishful thinking
This lame duck session will “restore” the democratic base and bring independents back to Obama
and from another source got the post they deleted
10. I’m guessing that the OP wasn’t intentionally humorous.Edited on Thu Dec-23-10 01:37 AM by Maat
But it certainly seems humorous to me.They’ve federalized our food supply, unnecessarily (via the Food Safety Modernization Act – headed to Obama’s desk as we speak, with his expressed intention to sign it), and Obama’s signed, or is due to sign, an executive order, of dubious legality/constitutionality, authorizing ‘prolonged detention.’ Additionally, the tax bill/deal set the stage for the gutting of our beloved social security program with the ‘holiday.’ Rendition continues, and Holder is busy talking about spying on American citizens to thwart ‘terrorism.’ Patriots I and II remain active in full, and our freedoms and rights, gutted by said acts, have not been restored.
The signing of the repeal of DADT, and the authorizing of LBGT individuals to serve openly, is a good step in the right direction, but this could have essentially been the case when Obama took office. He could have signed an executive order that precluded enforcement of the policy, and he could have let a federal district court decision stand. True, the law is the best policy, but he could have precluded the practice of discharge a long time ago.
Believe me, I’m certainly not headed back to Obama or the Democratic Party anytime soon, and I’d be surprised to see other former Dems headed that way.
And the DUdie goes
to the last gasp of blaming Emanuel – finally Obama has been freed from the basement by that bad, bad man
What’s changed since the mid-terms? NO Rahm Emanuel.
You remember, the Administration’s point(less) man.
Well, in that case Rahm certainly gets absolved of the tax cuts to the rich deal.
And of course, the DUdie is earned for the illusion that anything changed since any time. Especially good changes.
Buy a clue: the only think that changed in the past 10 years is the suckers that had been had. Used to be the freepers, now…it’s you.
This concludes today’s edition of the DUdies.
Come back Tuesday for the next one

Yet another push to spend money for people who can’t afford it. You thought this was Christmas? Think again: CALL IT BLACK FRIDAY PART II
All over the country, the media is fueling the hysteria Read the rest of this entry »
AP readily provides me with the surprise
On the president’s reading vacation reading list: “President Reagan: The Role of a Lifetime,” Lou Cannon’s biography of the Republican president.
Why got me sneezing here? I thought he might have read everything already about his hero
But then again, this is irrelevant as the reading lists are political propaganda stuff – like when W let himself be photographed with a book called BIAS (about the “Liberal media”).
I am sure than from all the people he impersonated (FDR, JKF, MLK, Lincoln etc) Reagan was always his favorite. I actually know so, from his books
Declaring that he is now reading about Reagan is like putting the cherry on top the trickle down mess he just pushed on us.
How to set off woodoo economics and come out smelling like a rose.
Take that, sanctimonious purists!
And on edit, here’s a little morality play to illustrate the above
