2. Playboy is porn?
Perhaps it was considered so in the 50's, but compared to other magazines and even the celebrity peep-shows shown on TMZ, etc., I'd call Playboy downright tame.

But I digress...


President Obama tried to please the theo-fascists and Conservatives by throwing his loyal Liberals/Progressives and LGBT community under the bus.
And this is the result. Surprise surprise.
Not.

How 'pragmatic' are they when Obama and his people throw a sizable chunk of their base away --the very people who worked long and hard to get him elected-- to even attempt to please people who will never be satisfied unless things go exactly their way?

There is a serious disconnect within Team Obama, and it's extremely troubling.
Their 'pragmatism', ideology, & pure wishful thinking clash mightily with actual reality
-- and that's not even mentioning their serious vetting problems nor their 'reaching across the aisle' to meet with the Repukes to try to talk reason, find common ground and reach consensus with them with the result of not getting one single vote!
Again, surprise! :sarcasm:

Mind you, there's nothing wrong with trying to reach across the aisle, at least they tried;
but where'd this vaunted pragmatism go? Did they REALLY think they could dump their own people and have the Conservatives and Religious Reich, especially after their behavior of the last 8 years, happily jump on board?!

IMO, that refutes the pick of Rahm Emmanuel, DLC Esq. -- this 'tough guy' should know better

...heck, they ALL should!
