I am so sick of hearing it. If any body speaks just a little ill of someone they are throwing him or her under the bus, I mean the expression is just like fingernails on a chalkboard to me now.

5. I think it all started when Obama threw gay people under
the bus by allowing a notorious homophobe to spew anti-gay hate at a campaign fundraiser.

But I don't mind other people using the expression as well.

It says it all.

6. Another word that's is fingernails on the chalkboard: "narrative"
Please. Hawthorne and Melville write "narratives". This is a presidential campaign.

We could be 'thinking outside of the box' while 'we take the gloves off''trying to close the deal'preparing for the election which could happen 'only in America'for the sake of 'our children who are the future'.

10. We have to hear it as many times as
Edited on Fri May-02-08 02:55 AM by Jamastiene
someone is actually thrown under the bus.

McClurkin...gay people thrown under the bus.
Obama's nasty elitist comments about rural voters...thrown under the bus.
Obama's grandmother...under the bus.
Obama supporters' hero, Wright... under the bus.
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-070403obama-ballot,1,57567.story">State Sen. Alice Palmer...under the bus.
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-070403obama-ballot,1,57567.story">Gha-is Askia...under the bus.

The Democratic Party if Obama doesn't get his way?...under the bus.
The goalpost? Under the bus,
because Obama doesn't level the playing field. He completely clears it to get his way.

Yeah, he's on his way up and throwing people under the bus left and right right now, but when he comes back down, he will reap what he has sown. He took all that potential and squandered it. It was his to lose and he has done just that.

12. As long as Hillary is in the race, and as long as there are Repub white male pundits in the media.
So I guess that means America is stuck w/hearing this "swiftboating" phrase ad nauseum.

13. I'll bet that all of Obama's followers are sick of hearing how many he's thrown under the bus.
Nothin' to see here.

Move along.
