1. The man reeks of class!

[ProfessionalLeftist]

13. He sure does!

4. A lot of it is the Obama campain NOT getting in front of FUDr memes with quick retorts but...

...there were so many it was crazy.

No really, there are some people who think the POTUS was born in Kenya...they're stupid...really hard to get in front of stupid

[Skidmore]

7. Some of it has to do with number of knives planted in his back he needed to pull out first.

Clooney is absolutely right.

[uponit7771]

10. +1!

[bluestate10]

33. Fucking Exactly!

The single issue people that infest DU really piss me off. If I could without it causing a complete republican takeover of the country, I would say good riddance to them in a heartbeat.

[gleannfia]

5. Well put

Mr. Clooney.

But then there are some here who are beating their meat to Jill Stein, as though she would have fared better against Boner, McConnell, et al. How laughable.

Sorry to be so base. Just trying to make a point.

[The Wielding Truth]

6. I am very proud to support Our Pres.Barack Obama! He is bringing sanity and respect

and stability back to our country.We need him to save us from the lousy con-men who only want to embezzle and dismantle. They have proven themselves to be carpetbaggers. They swoop in after they have caused your ruin and steal all you have toiled for.

Ask the Romney supporters to step back from the words Romney and FOX tell you and prove you wrong.

It can be done!

[ProfessionalLeftist]

15. "They swoop in after they have caused your ruin and steal all you have toiled for."

Then they blame YOU because it's lost! (ie: 47%)

8. Thanks George Clooney!

11. George must be reading stuff in the wrong blogs ...

ain't no disillusionment here ... and I certainly do not see any negative towards the President ...

[quinnox]

12. this is an old quote from Clooney and was posted months ago

the OP doesn't make clear this is not current at all.

[ProfessionalLeftist]

14. Still applies now though...especially now.

Sorry it's old. Just saw it on Twitter.

[OldDem2012]

17. What difference does it make? It still applies, doesn't it? nt.

[quinnox]

19. what you think of the quote and whether it applies is a matter of personal opinion, what I was doing

is I was answering the post because it sounded like they thought this was a current quote from Clooney, which it clearly isn't. I think it may have even been last year or even older than that when he said this.

[MindMover]

21. Not really ... disillusionment is very destructive ...

and we do not have any on this site ... so Mr. Clooney and anybody else who thinks we have some morbid crap thinking going on should keep it to themselves ...

The President will be re-elected and it will be decisive ....

[RomneyLies]

22. We must be reading different sites

or maybe you are discounting the trolls.

[flamingdem]

16. Lovely man

through and through

[MannyGoldstein]

18. I guess Clooney doesn't need Social Security

And his job wasn't free traded to a microwage country.

It's good to be rich and good looking, I guess.

[bluestate10]

34. Do you think Mitt Romney will protect SS and Medicare better than Obama and democrats.

I could give you advice, but that advice would get my post deleted. I will simply say that Romney will damage SS if elected, even with democrats in Congress restraining him. If Romney is elected and gets a republican majority in Congress, SS as we know it is dead, along with a lot of other programs that have made this nation great.

[MannyGoldstein]

37. Romney will likely assault Social Security

But we don't expect Democrats to do that.

It's extraordinarily disillusioning.

[RomneyLies]

20. I'm with George Clooney

If Obama loses, I wil blame the likes of Cenk Uygur, Matt Taibbi, David Sirota, Jane Hamsher, and other LINOs.

[mzmolly]

23. Perfect

statement.

[catbyte]

24. I'm not big on celebrities, but I LOVE Clooney

And how on earth does he get BETTER looking as he ages?!? LOL. Drool...

[upi402]

26. Obama killed Bin Laden

Can you imagine the media frenzy if BushCo nailed his ass?

[Scurrilous]

27. K & R

[progressoid]

28. Hmmm...Professional Leftist.....He was talking about your namesake.

You know, as in

Robert Gibbs' "Professional Leftists"

& Rham's "Fucking retardeds"

& the "Harry Belafontes", "Tavis Smileys", "Cornell Wests" of the left.

& all of those Democrats and Liberals that aren't willing just look the other way when our side happens to fuck up.

So sorry George thinks we peed in his Wheaties. He'll get over it. Besides, we're still going to vote for the President.

[ProfessionalLeftist]

29. Why do you think I picked the name?

Voted for Obama last Thursday. I'm sticking by and sticking up when push comes to shove - that's what the Clooney quote is about. And that's what's important, no? Lots of folks on DU have criticized Obama on on this or that issue - and that's what Gibbers et al were referring to. And you know, Gibbers can still kiss my ass and I have no use for Rahm Emmanuel.

But at election time, we get to choose between Obama's frankly remarkable overall record, and "Robosigner for Grover Norquist" and chief national job outsourcer Mitt Romney. I picked Obama. So beat me up all you want.

And I'll say it again: Robert Gibbs can kiss my ass.

Love,

Professional Leftist

30. look how disappointed he looks

I hope everyone adjusts their attitudes accordingly.

[win_in_06]

31. I wonder why he said 3 yrs vs 4 yrs? Maybe an older quote. n/t

[grantcart]

32. Hey Matt, listen to George.

[Kablooie]

35. If you blame Obama for failing you have fallen for GOP propaganda.

They have spent the last 4 years with their primary focus to make Obama look like a failure.
Every issue in the country was blocked specifically to hurt Obama.
The worse off the country was the more they liked it.

Obama didn't fail.
He accomplished an amazing amount of things against unbelievable odds.

Yes there are many issues that weren't resolved but that was squarely the fault of the GOP using laws of our government to deliberately prevent them from being resolved.
The Constitution gave us a system where this could be done and it's beyond the powers of any president to override it.

It had nothing to do with Obama's lack of ability.
It's the Republicans feeding you pure propaganda and you eating it up with a spoon.

36. Scathing...and true.
