35. You're right.

Who cares if he capitulates constantly to the right? Who cares if he gets advice from those who would destroy us? Who cares if we fight a dozen wars? Who cares if he put SS and Medicare on the table? Who cares if he believes marriage should be between a man and a woman? He's SUPER-cute and he looks SO cool!!

4. Judge orders Obama administration to release all White House visitor names

In ordering the Obama administration to disclose the names of all White House visitors, a federal judge has rejected claims that doing so could harm national security and be too time consuming.

The righteous man having nothing to hide, committing no acts which require stealth, and harbouring no thoughts and desires which he would not like others to know, is fearless and unashamed. His step his firm, his body upright and his speech direct and without ambiguity.

9. Two points

"White House spokesman Eric Schultz said on Friday that the administration is reviewing its options in response to the suit brought under the Freedom of Information Act by Judicial Watch, a public interest group....At issue are the names of all persons who entered the White House complex from January 20, 2009 through September 2009, a time of intense activity by the new Obama administration on a variety of controversial policy matters from the health care reform law to the economic stimulus package."

1) Judicial Watch is a RW group.

2) The reason their request is through September 2009 is because after that date, the WH began releasing the information voluntarily.

Over 1.5 Million Records Released

10. Thanks for the clarification regarding point 2.

Regarding point 1, what is your point? Is the case without merit?

Yes, they're essentially and mostly RW, but they've gone after Tom Delay, Richard Perle, the bush* administration regarding the Terrorist Surveillance Program, and Able Danger.

13. And what is soooo "righteous" about bullying the NY AG?

Obama sides with banks (corrupt loans, foreclosures); pressures NY Atty. General for settlement.

Eric T. Schneiderman, New York’s attorney general, is under pressure from the Obama administration to drop his opposition to a wide-ranging state settlement with banks over dubious foreclosure practices, say people briefed on discussions about the deal.

Shaun Donovan, secretary of Housing and Urban Development, and Justice Department officials have been campaigning to persuade the attorney general to support the settlement, the people said. Schneiderman and top prosecutors in other states have said the proposed settlement would restrict their ability to prosecute wrongdoing in a variety of areas, including the bundling of loans in mortgage securities.

The administration has been contacting not only Schneiderman but his allies, including consumer groups and housing advocates, seeking help to secure the attorney general’s participation, the people said.

I mean, shouldn't the administration be busy persecuting medical cannabis dispensaries? :shrug:

23. Well,

opinions vary, here and here.

[Wilms]

28. "...they were motivated by a desire to speed up help for troubled homeowners..."?

How long did it take to bail-out the banks?

Obama has sent a clear message with his appointments.

[ProSense]

29. Hmmmm?

"How long did it take to bail-out the banks?"

How long did it take Bush?

And another thing, since when is this a negative: "...they were motivated by a desire to speed up help for troubled homeowners..."

[Wilms]

31. Oh, please.

Not everyone is buying the charade.



-edited to add-

"hmmmm" Insulting refuge of the transparent.

[ProSense]

33. Hmmm?

"Not everyone is buying the charade"

What charade, like suddenly realizing that this was on Obama capaign agenda in 2008:

• Afghanistan: Obama and Biden will refocus American resources on the greatest threat to our security -- the resurgence of al Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan. They will increase our troop levels in Afghanistan, press our allies in NATO to do the same, and dedicate more resources to revitalize Afghanistan’s economic development. Obama and Biden will demand the Afghan government do more, including cracking down on corruption and the illicit opium trade.
  
  
• Pakistan: Obama and Biden will increase nonmilitary aid to Pakistan and hold them accountable for security in the border region with Afghanistan.

37. Your advocacy is recognized as is the non-sequitur.

Obama's support for the continued folly in the graveyard of empires is among the "promises kept".

Are we there, yet?

[ProSense]

43. Hmmm?

"Your advocacy is recognized as is the non-sequitur. Obama's support for the continued folly in the graveyard of empires is among the 'promises kept'."

Nonsense. He did something he said he would do. Feinging surprise or disgust after the fact is disingenuous.

"Promises kept" include ending wars:

- In June 2009, U.S. Forces occupied 357 bases. U.S. Forces currently occupy 121 bases, and are expected to reduce that number to 94 bases by the end of August.

Operation New Dawn began with 94 military sites in Iraq, in September 2010. Today, that's down to 48 sites. Seven more sites will shut down in August, Richardson said.

On June 22, 2011 the President addressed the American people about the way forward in Afghanistan. We have made substantial progress on the objectives the President laid out at West Point in 2009, and he made clear that we will begin the drawdown of U.S. troops from a position of strength. We have exceeded our expectations on our core goal of defeating al-Qa’ida – killing 20 of its top 30 leaders, including Osama bin Laden. We have broken the Taliban’s momentum, and trained over 100,000 Afghan National Security Forces. The U.S. will withdraw 10,000 U.S. troops from Afghanistan by the end of 2011, and the 33,000 “surge” troops he approved in December 2009 will leave Afghanistan by the end of summer 2012.

Those are the facts.

45. Wait

"I'm sure the Romans withdrew troops at some point too."

...going even further back than Hilter now, huh?

"The country's finances have been decimated by our continuing military adventures and the organized crime this Administration supports by hiring those who should be on trial. And we're not done...how many of those troops are redeployed to Iraq? And what about caring for the veterans. Too busy hmmming over blues links to have noticed. "

"The country's finances have been decimated" by Obama? Send that to the RNC. The Republicans can use any messaging that blames the President for everything from Bush on back.

[Wilms]

46. Yeah. Sure. OK.

11. Why are you denigrating my proud liberal Dem support for Dem Pres. Obama at a Dem forum? Hmm?

Will you be voting for President Obama in the general election, xfundy?

If not, why are you here at this Democratic forum, which does support Democratic President Obama for re-election?

[Confusious]

12. Funny

A few hours ago there was an OP on the from page calling him corrupt. and another taking the fist pumping democrats to task.

Thought the corrupt one was a little overboard myself.

But it just goes to show the head cat herder isn't doing a very good job.

[iamthebandfanman]

15. proud support = hero worship?

maybe you never took a look at Freeperland during the bush years. if youre into that sorta stuff, you would have loved it over there.

[Skittles]

16. OMG

***OBAMA HIMSELF WOULD FIND THIS KIND OF WORSHIP UTTERLY FUCKING RIDICULOUS AND EMBARRASSING***

[woo me with science]

of Obama riding a unicorn against a stormy sea.

:rofl:

[boston bean]

22. Are you trying to insinuate that I wrote those posts. and that me LMAO isn't genuine?

I am laughing my ass off. I've been giggling over it for the past hour.

In fact, I recommended this thread for the humorous value it has provided on an otherwise mundane Tuesday morning.

[ProSense]

24. No, why would you think that? Still,

funny stuff!

[boston bean]

26. It's always nice to have a laugh. Glad someone somewhere in time made you giggle. nt
