"I just hate that smile Obama gives all the time"

[Taverner]

This from a cashier at BevMo. When I asked "What about Bush's giggling and joking about the deaths of soldiers, etc." and she answers back "But that's different - Bush was destroyed by the Liberal Media."

I have no patience with these people.

And yes, she was working at BevMo because she lost her job in the Bush Recession/Depression.

Criminy!

1. There is NO cure for the stupid.

How about saying: "At least his smile is genuine!"

Ick.

I'm sorry you have to deal with this.

[Taverner]

4. Only when I buy beer at lunchtime :)

Although I should just patronize my local family run craft beer store in Livermore. They're cool, they carry San Diego beers and if they don't have it they find it.

[uppityperson]

2. Sneeze at her

[HeresyLives]

10. Oh I LOVE that!

:rofl:

[uppityperson]

21. It's going to be my new response to people who irritate me

[malaise]

34. DUzy

:rofl:

[grantcart]

3. If you hate that smile there is only one reason

They hate the color of the smile, not the smile itself.

[Taverner]

5. That's exactly what I was thinking

[stuntcat]

9. that's what's really behind a lot of it.

it's definitely the cause of those idiots who want to revolt or secede or whatever.
If our DEMOCRACY had elected someone who looked like Bill Clinton they'd still stomp and fuss but they'd also get back to their lives. They can NOT carry on like normal now.

[ejpoeta]

18. well, imagine that your people enslaved a group of people

treated them like crap and then after the end of slavery continued to treat you like a second class citizen. now imagine one of those folks is elected president. do you think some of these people fear that their own prejudices might be turned around. I honestly think some of these people are afraid that a black president would enslave them or something and they would be subjected to the crap they subjected to black people.

43. can't say as 'we' wouldn't have it comin. some of us more than others.

LOL! it's projection mostly. i say karma will get you, one way or another.

[izquierdista]

27. They didn't in '93

They went out and plastered "Impeach Clinton" bumper stickers on their redneck shitwagons and spent 5 years looking for a reason to do so.

[tanyev]

19. I find his smile irresistible.

It always makes me smile, too. :)

[gratuitous]

6. Tell her from me

Boo hoo hoo.

[IntravenousDemilo]

7. Good god, I would have paid for my purchase with change after that, preferably pennies. n/m

[Taverner]

8. BWAHAHAHAAHAHA!

[JaneQPublic]

12. Better yet, with Obama commemorative coins.

:rofl:

[IntravenousDemilo]

17. Yeah, I'll give ya "Change"! n/m

[JaneQPublic]

11. I wish the librul media HAD destroyed the Smirking Chimp...

before he lied, cheated, and stole his way into two terms in the White House.

[Echo In Light]

16. YES, instead of enabling him his kind one hundred and ten fucking percent at every turn

[spanone]

13. you can't fix stupid

[ejpoeta]

15. i was going to say that. LOL! ron white isn't my favorite, but he got that one right.

[ejpoeta]

14. it's AWFUL having a president with confidence and a genuine smile!

god! what are we going to do for the next 4 to eight years looking at that genuine, friendly smile! The kind that draws folks in. The kind that can melt cold relationships with other leaders. Much better to have a president who acts tough because he has issues. a guy who brings his personal problems to the white house and then uses them as an excuse to invade another country!! Yes, it sucks having a president who can listen to other people's views and tries to remember what he is here for. Bring back the immature war criminal!

[BR_Parkway]

20. Would it have anything to do with the black lips around it?

[Dulcinea]

22. Ask her if President Obama should smirk instead.

Like her hero Boy George used to.

[truth2power]

23. That doesn't even make sense...

He giggled and joked BECAUSE he was destroyed by the Liberal Media? Wouldn't he be destroyed first and then giggle and joke (because it drove him insane or something)? Oh, never mind... It's all nonsense.

[mitchum]

24. That's one stupid bitch

[Taverner]

29. Yes, I would have used that word but I didn't want to start an unrelated flamewar

[DearAbby]

25. It's GOP WHINE FLU

symptoms are horrible to watch...remember precautions when standing near a person suffering from this illness.

giggle in your sleeve
Do not laugh outright in their faces

And remember don't panic, don't turn your back on a person infected with GOP WHINE FLU. Together we will stop the spread this illness.

[FrenchieCat]

26. You should have told her that she doesn't have to be a hater.....

because Under an Obama administration, Dental coverage will be more affordable. Don't hate him cause his teeth are beautiful...you can have those too! :)

[Touchdown]

28. What's a BevMo?

:shrug:

I'll try not to go there.

[Taverner]

30. BevMo itself isn't bad - its a liquor superstore

Just that one worker

31. The only way someone could hate how Obama smiles is via pure envy.

He's the most physically good looking and personally charming inhabitant of the Oval Office since JFK.

Envy, not to be confused with jealousy, seeks to destroy its object. And, it's usually incurable.

[Taverner]

32. Hmmmm that's interesting - I always thought Jealousy and Envy were the same

What are the key differences?

[EFerrari]

35. Envy is a two headed thing (that woman and Obama) where

jealousy is a three headed thing -- how one feels watching a beloved with someone else, for example.

Jealousy can be pretty toxic but nowhere near as poisonous as envy because jealousy can be diffused by communication. Envy is much more rooted in personalities and no amount of communication or emotional processing seems to alleviate it very much.

[lunatica]

36. jealousy is when you think someone can take your lover away

Envy is when you want to take someone elses lover away.

[EFerrari]

37. I'd say both of those situations are jealousy, i.e., wanting

a relationship that others are enjoying.

Envy seems to be much more about fixating on one person, wanting what they have and hating them for what they have -- beauty, money, success, lovers, whatever.

So, I guess you can feel envious toward one person AND jealous of that person's relationships.

In "Othello", for example, Othello is jealous of Desdemona and Cassio but Iago is envious of everything Othello has.

There is a medieval woodcut of Envy, figured as a woman (of course) and she is starving to death watching another woman in the distance. That always seems to me a clear illustration of envy -- destroying yourself from the inside as you wish to destroy that Other over there. (Shudder)

[lunatica]

38. Coveting your neighbors possessions or lover is envy

It has to do with greed. But jealousy is an emotion based in feeling insecure and fearful that something or someone will be taken from you.

[EFerrari]

39. Exactly. Envy is about coveting what another has and is all about greed

and usually the kind of greed that is insatiable, that knows no end.

Jealousy is much more about fearing loss, even if in imagination. It's more social than envy and more tractable.

[TheKentuckian]

33. Teh Stooooopid...IT BURNS US!!!!

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

40. Whaaa?

So Bush joking about deaths of soldiers is okay because he was "destroyed by the liberal media"?

She needs the V-8 slap on the head.

[redwitch]

42. I'll bet she misses that fabulous Dick Cheney sneer.

I know I do.
