Question for Obama supporters

[prolesunited]

Poll question: Question for Obama supporters

He gave a speech today coming out strongly in favor of Congressional action to rescue the economy. So, do you follow his lead or continue to oppose a rescue plan for the economy?

[Lerkfish]

1. um....point of order? Aren't we ALL Obama supporters here?

did I miss a memo?

[DevonRex]

3. I could have sworn that we all support Obama here. Go figure.

That question is a pretty big tell. :shrug:

[prolesunited]

5. Question is a tell?

What do you mean?

[Lerkfish]

7. a "tell" is a poker term for when your opponent accidentally does something unconscious

that reveals more about their hand than they intended.

For example, a player might rub their nose when they're bluffing. that would be a "tell".

[prolesunited]

12. So, what am I "telling" here?

I'm a troll? I don't support Obama? What?

[Lerkfish]

13. I"m explaining what a "tell" is, since that seemed to have been your question.

:shrug:

[PeaceNikki]

14. Are you implying she's a troll?

:rofl:

That's ridiculous.

[Lerkfish]

16. um, nope. I'm explaining what "tell" means.

I"m implying no such thing at all, nor am I the person who used the word "tell".

[PeaceNikki]

And what are you saying she is "telling"

Explain. You brought it up. We all know what a "tell" is, we just don't get what it is you're implying. So lay it out.

Show your hand.

[Lerkfish]

21. um, nope I did NOT bring it up.

go back through the thread.

[PeaceNikki]

22. Right, it was you who called it "decidely odd"

:eyes:

[Lerkfish]

23. correct. At least NOW you're telling the truth

instead of lying

and I stand by that, its very odd.

although, I was NOT the person that brought that up, either.

[PeaceNikki]

26. A simple mistake = deliberate lying?

I aspire to be as perfect as you.

[Lerkfish]

30. a simple mistake is something that happens once.

I repeatedly corrected you and you insisted on continuing in your "mistake".

[PeaceNikki]

33. Allow me to kiss your ass and profusely apologize for confusing your nasty comment

with someone else's nasty comment.

I'll be sure to work harder to attribute you with the correct subtle implications of trollery in the future.

[Lerkfish]

36. what nasty comment?

I said absolutely nothing nasty at all.

again, with the lies.

reread my posts and come up with evidence I said anything at all nasty.

[EstimatedProphet]

19. Jumping to conclusions might also be considered a pretty big tell.

[Lerkfish]

34. um...wow. hitler youth?

that is also odd.

[Sheets of Easter]

35. Damn dude, you're like the Oliver Cromwell of internet dicks.

[Lerkfish]

37. wow. so...objecting to someone calling someone else a nazi makes ME a dick?

erm...ok.. the "grief, swarm and lock" crowd is here.

[HEyHEY]

38. Hey, you're the Nazi sympathizer, not me

[Lerkfish]

40. what are you smoking?

slanderous falsehoods, there.

[HEyHEY]

49. not these

[Forkboy]

48. WTF, dude?

You need to step back and regroup. You're making a true fool of yourself with the nazi shit.

[sniffa]

59. No, no. Let him go on.

This could get good. :popcorn:

[DevonRex]

66. Pass the popcorn please.

:popcorn:

[Sheets of Easter]

50. never mind. it's pointless.

[Lerkfish]

55. um, another falsehood.

someone ELSE brought up the word "tell" and the OP seemed genuinely confused as to what the term meant. I EXPLAINED the term.

[sniffa]

68. Damn dude

Does this happen to you on every thread?

[Lerkfish]

69. weird, huh?

[sniffa]

72. More predictable than weird

[Lerkfish]

74. thanks, mods

[Forkboy]

46. Damn...that's just lame, dude.

Seriously. :shrug:

[Chloroplast]

47. 'Lil hitler youth'? What the hell?

We can disagree with a politician just as others have a right to agree; calling someone a Hitler youth (today of all days :eyes:) is just disruptive and nasty.

[HEyHEY]

53. She insinuated proles was a troll, so I'm insinuating she's hitler youth

Fun's fun, but pork is a pig's ass!

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

51. Umm, given the way the OP is phrased...

it's a challenge to anybody who does disagree with Obama, making your whole argument rather ironic.

To say the least.

[DevonRex]

54. Exactly. Thank you. nt

[EstimatedProphet]

76. Or, people simply read more into the OP than was there

[HEyHEY]

61. Um, actually, mine was a response to the RESPONSE, making your argument moot

[Fran Kubelik]

45. thanks for your concern

[Sebastian Doyle]

2. I support the Bernie Sanders bill

If there's going to be any sort of "bailout" at all, it cannot be more of this trickle-down bullshit. Obama knows these reverse Robin Hood policies don't work. He's said so. So it's time to do something about it. Fuck the Wall Street thieves, help the PEOPLE.

[Demi_Babe]

4. other...I'm no economic expert so I wasn't for or against the bill...rely on my leader here, Obama

[renie408]

27. You are the only person besides me on the DU that isn't an economics expert.

Everybody else here knows way more than Warren Buffet, Suze Orman and the majority of economics experts, politicians etc. that I have been listening to for the past two weeks.

[treestar]

43. I kind of think that way

I'm against it because Kucinich is against it. Yet I want Obama to be President plus I've come to respect him enough to think that whatever he is for will probably be the best we can do realistically as far as DC politics goes - it's just not a liberal enough world out there for DKs position to have much practical chance right now.

[ellacott]

6. What an odd title

[ecstatic]

8. lol. For sure... odd indeed nt

[prolesunited]

9. So, are you going to call me a troll today, too?

I've been here longer than most of you.

[Lerkfish]

10. I have to agree its an odd title.

since everyone here is supposed to be an Obama suppporter, the phrasing of the question is decidedly odd.

[Left Is Write]

18. It's not necessarily odd. Perhaps Proles meant it as a wake-up call.

As in, "Hey! We support Obama here, don't we? Are you going to listen to what he says about the rescue bill?"

[prolesunited]

25. Ding! Ding! Ding!

We have a winner here.

[Sheets of Easter]

70. Precisely.

I love it when troll-baiting goes sour. There was nothing "telling" about the OP whatsoever.

[Zuiderelle]

71. That's exactly how I read it.

[ellacott]

75. If I wanted to call you a troll I would have called you a troll

I said what I meant.

[Fran Kubelik]

17. get over yourself

[HEyHEY]

29. that's the best you can offer?

[Forkboy]

52. The poster should have included calling someone a Hitler Youth.

"No, you're a Hitler Youth!"

65. What a great Monty python skit

[Forkboy]

64. Browns not my color.

Clashes with the red bleeding heart on my sleeve.

[WI_DEM]

11. I thought we all supported Obama on DU?

[Fran Kubelik]

15. Holy shit people. Proles is not a troll. Give me a break.

Go volunteer to register voters, or make phone calls for the campaign. If all you have to offer is off-base troll hunting, you're not helping anyone.

[Lilith Velkor]

24. Well, with a name like that, she must be one o' them godless communists

Like yours truly. :hi:

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

20. Well, as a person who IS an Obama supporter...

:shrug:

I'd say that Obama's running a presidential campaign, and it has no influence on my opinion of an issue that I, or anybody else, doesn't know anything about.

[KSDiva]

31. To take this thread off trolls and onto the question...

I don't like the legislation, but I don't think the correct action (bottom up, helping people not businesses) will ever happen. So, I think it's the best we can do.

So, I don't like it or really feel supportive of it, but it's like medicine. And I'll stand behind Obama as he pours the cod liver oil down my throat. And I'll deal with it because I trust him.

[prolesunited]

41. Thank you for an honest answer

[WeDidIt]

39. The Bill that failed was the best bill we would ever get

in this Congress with this Administration.

End. Of. Story.

[Occam Bandage]

42. Which among us are not Obama supporters?

Aren't *all* poll questions on DU questions for Obama supporters?

[Lerkfish]

44. psst -- watch out, they'll call you a nazi for pointing that out.

be careful.

[PeaceNikki]

56. Instead of getting the POINT that the OP was trying to make

people just subtly imply she's a troll. That's as ridiculous as anything else in this thread.

If you support him you should support his decisions and judgment. Who here at DU has even read the text of this bill?

[Lerkfish]

58. another intentionally FALSE accusation.

do you never learn? what the fuck is your problem?

[H2O Man]

67. Respectfully disagree.

Without commenting on the financial crisis/proposed bailout, the idea that if one supports a given candidate that they should support all of his/her "decisions and judgements" is absolutely, 100% wrong. Any time that any two people think just alike, it is because only one is thinking. It would be rather sad if people only supported candidates that they were in total agreement with.

People are under no obligation to support all "decisions and judgements" that Obama makes. At the same time, there is reason for DUers to question the intent of some of the OPs and posts made by others on this forum. I am not implying that I question the merits of this OP.

[DevonRex]

60. Shhh. They get angry and call you names if you say that.

And they all have to do with Hitler and Nazis. :shrug:

[DevonRex]

62. dupe

[barack the house]

73. Intresting how it splits along the vot percentage.
