Barack Obama sucks!

[RuleofLaw]

His questions are so not relevant that its a waste of time to listen to.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

1. he has been at his job for less than a month....give him a break

[propagandafreegal]

44. Why did he even bother asking questions? ro..

I'm not surprised, not at all.

[Renew Deal]

2. Thanks for the insight.

What are you talking about?

[RuleofLaw]

4. His questions to Condi Rice

And even if he has only been on the job for only a month he was in this country for the last 4 years?

Only softball questions so far.

[Cocoa]

14. poster below says he asked about nuclear proliferation?

you don't think that's "relevant" for an incumbent Sec. of State to be asked about?

[HEyHEY]

48. I haven't heard any of them - got an example?

[Cocoa]

3. I bet his questions are more informative than your post

what did Obama ask?

[Senator Lamb]

8. ummm

nuclear proliferation and troops in Iraq are very relevant questions. consider this is his first time around i dont think hes going to be a Boxer.

[American Tragedy]

5. Did you see the guy before him?

Comparatively speaking, Obama isn't doing too bad.

[Warpy]

6. he's been told to go along to get along

I guess the only balls on the Democratic side of the aisle belong to Barbara Boxer, who like all women, wisely keeps hers where the DLC can't easily snip them off.

OK, that was catty. Obama isn't distinguishing himself, though, from what I'm hearing.

[crispini]

11. LOL. Catty, but very funny. nt

[Cocoa]

22. what are you hearing?

still no actual info on what exactly was wrong with Obama's questions.

[Tinoire]

43. LMAO!

the only balls on the Democratic side of the aisle belong to Barbara Boxer, who like all women, wisely keeps hers where the DLC can't easily snip them off.

:thumbsup:

7. Obama is a new senator

He doesn't have the clout yet to be a pitbull.

Sucks but that's how it works in "the world's most exclusive club."

[RuleofLaw]

9. So how long before he ask meaningful questions?

[fertilizeonarbusto]

23. a couple of years

really, folks, I remember Hubert Humphrey explaining that once.

[bufftiger]

10. yeah, proliferation and troop levels aren't relevant..great insight

[lapfog_1]

16. not to mention the last question

on exit strategy (which the repukes have orwell'd into "success"
strategy).

KindaSleezy's answer was wholly non responsive.

[hector459]

12. Methinks you didn't even listen to or understand his questions.

They are very relevant, especially to the families of our soldiers and American taxpayers. Rush, was that you?

[seabeyond]

13. wasnt impressed with him, he is new, still defending biden though

lol lol. gosh lots dont like him

[stray cat]

15. I hope it is shown on T.V. tonight

He usually hits the nail on the head without looking like a pit bull. I think I want to see this for myself.

[Pirate Smile]

17. Oh, come on. Do we ever give any of the Democrats a break? He did

fine. Not everybody is going to go on the attack like Boxer. He isn't ready for that yet and different people have different styles.

[freedom_to_read]

32. typical DUplicity imho

it's so easy to just say "someone sucks" on an anonymous web forum, because they "lack balls."

all the while not giving people credit for having the courage to actually be a public servant, to speak in public about serious issues, etc.

i doubt the person who started this thread would have the courage to tell Sen. Obama that "he sucks" to his face.

[Mandate My Ass]

18. His parting shot: Americans need more than an open-ended

committment as regards getting out of Iraq. Our troops are the best in the world and haven't made a great deal of progress there and that we obviously have a very long road ahead.

She sputtered about some imaginary Iraqies who she is sure are going to be willing to take up the fight for their own "freedom." She sounded like the incompetent and liar she so apparently is.

[atreides1]

33. Iraqis, Willing to take up the fight for their own "freedom"

Yes, they're called insurgents.

[Cadence]

19. Was it really neccessary that he heap the compliments on Condi

right at the beginning? Does he really believe she has done such a magnificent job? Uh, Osama determined to attack inside the U.S. ....using commercial aircraft. She does nothing and we're complimenting her and giving her a promotion. Alrighty then.

[ClayZ]

28. He helped Humpty Dumpty Condi

Have an imaginary tea party on her wall.

[Cadence]

34. LOL! n/t

:D

[signmike]

39. Yay! Give her a medal!

[Pirate Smile]

40. Oh, yeah. That comes next. Maybe she can get in a few more fiasco's

and disasters before she gets her medal.

[yinkaafrica]

41. I didn't like that

She is kicking us in the nuts and he compliments her
footwork? Things have gone horribly wrong and it is time for
every Democrat to acknowledge it.

[Cadence]

46. That's a really good analogy.

It seems to be the norm to say "thank you sir may I have another" instead of standing up for the truth. Sickening.

[propagandafreegal]

45. I give up on Barack. Y'all let me know if he does anything to redeem

himself.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

50. i just watched him

a second ago.

I thought he very articulately got to the problem with what is wrong with this administration, and did it with a fucking smile on his face.

[fertilizeonarbusto]

20. FRESHMAN SENATOR

he is supposed to not make waves. Hillary did the same thing in 2000. If he got in her face now, his colleagues would see that as showboating and blackball him. He did as he should: let his seniors do the headhunting.

[underpants]

25. Exactly if he did anything now he would be dead in the water

for the rest of this Congress.

[peacetalksforall]

21. If you are brand new...you get the lay of the land first....

He came from practically nowhere and ended up in the Senate...I would walk lightly for awhile if I were him. Let him build. His reputation is stellar - he probably won't let people down - over time.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

27. i completely agree

asking the imp questions should be left upto the senior dems not the newbies

26. He sounds new and hesitant

I thought he asked relevant questions and I think the more he does this and the more comfortable he becomes, he won't be nearly as hesitant about getting his point across. I don't think he did great,but I don't think he did poorly either.

[tedzbear]

29. This is nothing but a comedy of bullshit! (WW III coming)

Looks like the agenda of both parties is to carpet bomb Iran so it won't go nuclear. This will start a worldwide religious war between Shiite Islamic people and Israeli/American Jews and Christians. The writing is already on the wall.

Since Israel will not tolerate a nuclear armed Iran neither will we. But Iran is determined to protect its sovereignty by building nukes, so diplomacy will fail and the USA or Israel will start dropping bombs. This will infuriate the Shiites in Iraq and elsewhere. The Sunnis are already mad at us over our carpet bombing of Falluja, etc. so they will probably join the Shiites in their rage against US/Israeli imperialism. Pakistan will be forced to side with its Islamic brothers and stop aiding us.

A religious war like this is bad news for all of us. There MUST be another way to go than to let our leaders start a religious war. I imagine the rest of the world feels Iran has just as much right to develop nukes as Israel (since both nations have promoted terrorism, whether covert or militarily .

:nuke:

[madrchsod]

30. another obama sucks --wow-

you don`t say where you are from but..if we don`t like him in illinois he`ll be out the door. if he had paul simon and durbins blessing i`ll go along for now. he never said he was thesavior....

[Walt Starr]

31. Seems like a lot of people are intested in seeing Obama fail

I wonder why?

:eyes:

[arcane1]

36. indeed

especially people with right-wing buzz-word names and no profile :eyes:

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

35. Another deft analysis by a seasoned pro

:eyes:

[ExclamationPoint]

37. I wanted to report this to the moderators....

but I guess we shouldn't beat someone for having an opinion

On your post you said: His questions are so not relevant that its a waste of time to listen to.

You meant: His questions are so IRRELEVANT that IT'S a waste of time to listen to.


How many people read this? Then you've read something irrelevant posted by a grammar nazi, but hey, you still learned SOMETHING about grammar.
:)

[RuleofLaw]

38. Thank you

I was merely expressing my frustration with only having one senator asking real questions, and the rest of them competing in who can say the nicest things to her.

I am not here to see Obama fail, but I would like to see some democrat stand up for what they believe in.

I find the explanations about him being new and that he has to establish himself first valid. However, I did not think it was necessary for him to so overly nice to her. She is after all the one who has been lying for the past 2 years.

[CBHagman]

42. I think you need to read the transcripts and watch the whole hearing.

I've been hearing some extremely relevant questions from various senators regarding the administration's policy on Haiti (abysmal) and other matters.

It's all very well to be for justice and truth and all that, but here's a news flash: THE SENATE IS FORMAL. YOU PICK YOUR BATTLES. It's not DU. For example, there isn't the anonymity...

[stray cat]

47. I understand your frustration but isn't this only the first round

Maybe they will become more pointed. I too hate to see Condi complimented but even I manage to be polite to the people I have to work with and thats probably even more important in a place like the senate.

[saltpoint]

49. Obama is inspiring and impressive.

His address before the Democratic Convention last summer was dazzling.

Illinois Democrats are wildly lucky to have him and Dick Durbin representing them in the U.S. Senate.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

51. i agree

he has a very relaxed method. his kind of subtlety is exactly what we need. he and boxer made a formidable 1-2 punch. i disagree wholeheartedly with anybody who has somehow "given up" on Barack. this guy, for a moment - much like Dean - makes you believe its not too late. Time will tell i guess.
