1. Me too.......
Jackeens must be getting rusty, or maybe there aren't any photos to post, who knows, either way I miss them too.

4. People here don't support Obama, so the photo threads stopped.

20. You throw your "facts" about as easily as Dick Cheney
How the hell do photo threads trivialize the Obamas? Please, enlighten us with the cogent logic that led you to such a conclusion.

26. How the hell do photo threads trivialize the Obamas? You got me, they don't, ...
much in the same way that kiddie porn photos 'don't' trivialize children.
Groupie ideologues here, with their zeal, have long ago proven themselves ineducable.
Consider ceasing to clutter DU with your mindless prattle and
allow my/our President to at least try to do the job he was hired for unencumbered by cult hero status!

Non-validatiion junkies are free to go here for their pic fix--

7. Well, since Obama saw fit to
cave in to the credit card industry on interest rates, prevented single-payer advocates from even participating in health care non-reform, and now is apparently ready to continue Cheney's military tribunals within the space of two weeks, I don't see why I SHOULD support him. He's lost me.

11. Obama made an informed judgement. People here judge him knowing nothing of the real life impact
the decisions have.

16. Are you fucking kidding me!? "People...know nothing of the real life impact"!? Who
Edited on Fri May-15-09 08:04 AM by salguine
the hell do you think these decisions affect? I have no health insurance. I don't go to the doctor when I'm sick because I can't afford to. God help me if I'm ever injured in an accident or get a catastrophic illness. And Obama makes sure that single-payer advocates are completely shut out of health care reform talks? Just what "real life" impact am I missing out on? I AM the real life impact.

I have a credit card that I don't use very often because, given the nature of credit card companies in this country, I carry it around as I would a live grenade. And now it's legal for my credit card company to boost my interest rate to 98% if they feel like it, for no reason and without telling me about it. THAT impacts ME.

The same Constitutional provisions that are eviscerated by these military tribunals were put there to protect ME. (They were put there to protect you, too, but if that doesn't bother you, that's your affair.) I am the real life impact of that, too.

Your statement may not be the stupidest thing I've ever seen posted on DU, but it's in the top two.

21. It's possible that Jackeens hasn't had the time for a bit
And I'm always surprised at the people griping about the photo threads because something or other has happened to displease them. Probably the same folks who yell at people celebrating holidays when the world is not yet perfect.

I for one have no trouble enjoying the heck out of the photo threads and then sending letters off to the white house the same day protesting some objectionable (to me) decision.

23. Geez, people who complain about photos threads do NOT have to click on them.
I so agree with you. I like to see what my Prez (and First Lady, Vice Prez, etc.) are actually doing during the day.
I wanted those torture photos released. Does not stop me from enjoying pics of our President.

24. I know. I am too lazy to put together a bunch of photos like she does.
Or maybe just too busy making sure my kids don't turn my house upside down.
