1. cute...love the dress! n/t

[HopeOverFear]

2. Beautiful.

[derby378]

3. Such beautiful smiles, too (n/t)

[Guilded Lilly]

4. What a joy...

such blatant affection for each other!

[WyldRogue]

5. Beautiful pic...

..all smiles and enjoying life while I watched as 2 of my neighbors of over 15 years lose their house because there was no help coming to help them, all the help went to Wall Street and Bankers.

Now that he has his HCR bill, looks like my other neighbor is headed to bankruptcy because he has twin daughters that are disabled and one also has leukemia on top of that. They do have employer health insurance but he will be getting a pink slip before this month is over. Thanks to the kindness of fellow neighbors (including the 2 that just lost their houses), we all pitched in what we could to help but we are all cash strapped while the Elites enjoy the best times of their lives...

3 more years to do SOMETHING to help us little people out and don't give me the 'he'll do it in his 2nd term' BS

We've been hurting Yesterday, we are hurting Today and we will continue to be hurting Tomorrow. Sure am glad my elected officials used my vote to sell themselves out rather quickly...

Sorry to have ruined the 'love the Obama pic' thread with a dose of reality. Now is not the time for fairy tales when we have thousands of people living in Tent cities, lost homes, lost jobs and lost savings while those that caused it all got bailed out and making millions...

[pruple]

6. reality

I'm so sorry that reality for you and your neighbors means an absolute inability to find even one iota of happiness for any reason, but only a desire to ruin any moment of pleasure that anyone else might enjoy.

[WyldRogue]

12. Be happy...

...while people are hurting??

[TwilightGardener]

30. That's how it has to be.

Unless you plan on never being happy again.

[WyldRogue]

37. Happiness

... I was in total ecstasy when Obama won the WH. I had high hopes that he would do what is right for those of us that have been forgotten under * and the Repug's rule. While I watched as the upper echelons get massive bail-outs on our dime, I waited for it to come our way but it never came. We had the stimulus package that did create a few jobs is alot of sectors and cities but over-all, people still lost their homes, jobs, savings, etc.

I still have high hope he will wake up and ignore the good ol boys club and do something for the people that are needing help the most: us

Maybe I am being cynical but I can't see how people would want to ignore facts and enjoy pure fallacy...

[FrenchieCat]

8. And on a day of happiness for you, whether your graduation,

your wedding, a child born or something you felt was special,
I'm sure hundreds if not thousands of children somewhere died of starvation.

You should have stopped what you were doing,
written a check giving at least 20% of all that you owned
to help the problem.

Just sayin.....

We already know the world sucks and that the situation is dire....
and yet, life does go on....for all of us.
that's been the case for centuries. Doh.

[WyldRogue]

16. Been a children's Sponser for 15 yrs...

...and continue to do so. My family and I have also taken in one of our neighbors to help them the best we can through this bad time as they had literally nowhere to go. It may be a burden to some people but in good conscious we could not let them be out on the street. Remember, Obama has stated that we are all in this together and we must do what we can to pull through.

That is exactly what my family and our other neighbors are doing, looking out for one another because there is no help coming from anyone else.

And yes, life goes on... my oldest son deploys to Afghanistan in a few weeks, my 2nd oldest in late spring/early summer, how about you? Do you have a child or loved one headed to war?

[Drunken Irishman]

17. And Pres. Obama isn't doing anything, right?

HAHAHA

He's done more than your family has done in YOUR whole fucking lifetime. He's actually created jobs with his actions.

15 years of being a child sponsor ain't jack shit in the entire scheme of things.

How's the view from up there, BTW? :eyes:

[WyldRogue]

18. Same as your view

... thank you for demeaning the care and support of disadvantaged children for 15 yrs. Obama would be so proud he has a supporter such as you. And then you want to attack my family as well??

Your post reply reminds me of the teabaggers mocking the woman as she told her story about her daughter dying but hey, guess you're the Nth degree of virtue and light so pardon me while I shield my eyes because of your bright shining light :sarcasm:

Stay drunken dear fellow....

[Drunken Irishman]

19. I need to be drunk to read your shit.

You come into this thread and shit all over it because of something that happened to your neighbors and don't see how people might get a bit peeved by it? Are you high?

I'm glad you give. But you know what? Don't act like you're so far fucking superior to the next because you give.

And I don't care if you feel I mock you. You deserve all the mocking in the world for your embarrassing, classless bullshit thrown up above.

[WyldRogue]

20. And such eloquent...

.. behavior to boot. So, pissed at what I commented about or the fact that I posted in this particular thread??

I have a strong guess but please, enlighten me with your profound and magnificent ad hom postings. I find them totally amusing in their nature and revealing of your personality.

By the way, I think I will sign up and support another child in your name (seriously).

I never said I was superior to anyone, just sharing some insights into my compassion to help people.

So do you have a child going to Afghanistan in a few weeks too?

[Drunken Irishman]

21. Your agenda was shown.

You wanted to piss on the Obamas in a thread that wasn't even about anything you mentioned. You did a good job at it, too.

But then you make yourself out to be this God-like martyr to boot. You rock!

:eyes:

[WyldRogue]

24. lol

yep indeed, I transformed into a martyr now. wow.

Thank you for hoisting me to that class but sadly, not a martyr, just too much of a nice guy.

Still, I do what I can do because that is what we are supposed to do right? care for one another? Or is there a different rule that you follow?

[Drunken Irishman]

28. You hoisted yourself up there, buddy.

You know, acting all Saint Like and justifying your happy moments while shitting on the Obamas' happy moments.

:eyes:

Pathetic.

[WyldRogue]

31. By replying to another person???

And sharing some info and all of a sudden I hoisted myself up where??

Might I suggest that you take a step back for a sec and get a bit of a grip on yourself...

[Drunken Irishman]

33. Nope.

You know exactly what you did. You made this thread about you in your reply about the struggles of your neighbors. How is that relevant to the picture?

It isn't. It sucks for your neighbors, but we know full well why you made that point. You wanted to bring down a thread and you got your wish.

For that, I am sorry. I'm sorry I responded to your pathetic ass. That won't be an issue in the future...because there is this nice thing called ignore and you're going on it.

Have fun pissing on this thread some more, though. I'm done! :)

[WyldRogue]

38. ???

You made this thread about you in your reply about the struggles of your neighbors. How is that relevant to the picture?

So posting about my neighbor's plight made it all about me?? And my post is relevant to that picture because it was a reality check time: while he enjoys the spoils of those that busted @ss to help get him there, those same people are hurting while the band plays on...

[rebel with a cause]

49. I'm agreeing with you. ;)

Anything done for others for your own glory is something undone. In other words if you do good for others and then brag about it, you undo any good you have done. And when you think you are doing more than anyone else you are putting yourself in a position of being judged by those that you feel superior to. Just saying...

I remember a church I once attended and witnessed some of the members (during their Wednesday prayer meetings) stand up and praise god for allowing them to be the good people they were and enabling them to do the good they had done. They not only told the situation where they had helped other people and what they had done for them, but in some cases even named the person they had helped. I looked at this as a pure bragging session that had nothing to do with having good in their heart. Reminded me of the Pharisee example given in the Bible. Luke 18, 10-11.

[AspenRose]

9. You're not sorry.

"Sorry to have ruined the 'love the Obama pic' thread with a dose of reality."

No you're not.

[WyldRogue]

13. Correct...

... time to make people wake up from their fairy tale land

[Drunken Irishman]

23. Please, All Powerful WyldRogue, show us the way!

Whatever would we do with out your greatest?

[WyldRogue]

25. Yea yea

Very mature

[firedupdem]

10. You're not sorry...but just to let you know...

I lost mine under the previous admin. and most of my friends have been able to take advantage of extended unemployment benefits, loan modifications, and a discount on cobra payments to keep their homes. So go off to one of the zillion anti obama threads and enjoy yourself.

[WyldRogue]

15. And yet again..

.. I am anti-Obama because???

Oh yes, because I did not post abstract adoration.

I did say it was a beautiful pic (Michelle looks very stunning and Obama has the ever present Gentleman aura) but I have always criticized elected officials and Obama is NOT above reproach or criticism.

Let's set the record straight: I do not hate Obama, I supported him by volunteering at his campaign office where I live, went door to door and donated what I could, when I could. I protested when my child's school distric refused to show Obama's speech on Education and so forth.

So many are quick to label people based on their posts. My post was made out of anger, fear and confusion from what I see coming from both Congress and the WH. I have not stated that I gave up on him and wish he were (insert whatever comes into your mind), I will continue to support MY elected President and hope that he starts doing the right thing for all of us and NOT go with the Status Quo.

[Drunken Irishman]

26. So many are quick to label you because you came into this thread and pissed all over it.

It's not hard to see why people are angry with you, Rogue.

This thread was not here for you to vent about your neighbors. Or how awesome you are and how you help so many people and do all the good things. This thread was made to look at a photo of the President and his lovely wife taking time away from their busy lives and enjoying a magical moment. NOTHING MORE.

You decided to come in here and make it about YOU and your LIFE. It isn't always about YOU.

If you want to vent about your neighbors' struggles and how amazingly awesome you are, do it in a thread that is made just for that.

But don't do it in a thread that isn't about your complaints. :eyes:

[WyldRogue]

29. Never said ...

...I was better than anyone. I only shared info about myself and family (which you readily attacked from the get-go).

Was asked why I did not .... by Frenchie and I was responding to her and sharing what my family and I are doing make things better. It may not be much but it is something and we will always try to help any family or friend.

We'd be there to help you if we can, and not for rewards or status, it's because we do care...

[NYCGirl]

11. You seem to be a puritan (as defined by H.L. Mencken):

"Puritanism: The haunting fear that someone, somewhere, may be happy."

[WyldRogue]

14. LOL

Such insight to tell me WHO I am from what I typed on a blog forum.

[Drunken Irishman]

22. Why...you did the same about me...

[WyldRogue]

27. Ditto

Ditto

Welcome to the String Theory my friend

[spiritual_gunfighter]

45. I noticed you didnt say a word about WyldRogue's child going to Afghanistan

it was very telling.

[NYCGirl]

43. LOL Back

I'm not telling you who you are. I'm telling you who you SEEM to be.

[rebel with a cause]

50. So that is what a puritan is.

I thought it was just someone that thought almost everything was wrong to do, a sin. Dummy me. ;)

[Cha]

46. You haven't ruined anything. You just think you do.

[nashville_brook]

47. word.

[Lilyeye]

52. Give me a fucking break. You deserve the lashing from drunken Irishman for this bullshit post.

[WyldRogue]

54. BS??

Mmk now

I am sure there is more adoration posts to hide in that allows you to have that warm cozy feeling you are so desperately needing.

But thank you for vilifying and supporting the demeaning of myself and my family (that includes my sons).

Cowards love to hide from reality so don't worry, there are plenty of holes to stick your head in.

[impik]

7. He just adored her

It's really lovely to see.

Thank you for this sweet relief.

[MNDemNY]

32. And this advances important legislation how?

[Clio the Leo]

34. Shhh.....

.... he's whispering into her ear an answer to a question she's asked .... "when again are we pulling out of Afghanistan?" ;)

aren't they cute?

[MNDemNY]

35. Very, but I wish there was an "Obama spoogeing" area for this stuff.

And I think he's trying to explain away that last outing with Tiger.

[Clio the Leo]

39. I think you may discover...

.... that there is a direct correlation between a rise in Obama "spooge" (ewwwwwah! "you keep using that word, I dont think it means what you think it means" lol) and a rise in Obama bashing. ;)

[MNDemNY]

40. "spooge" is a for real word? Who'd of thunk it.

:o

[Clio the Leo]

41. Yes, it's a word that is synonymous with "scum"

.... and another word that RHYMES with "scum." (And is spelled the same only without an "S" lol)

So like I said ........ ewwwwwwwah!!! ;)

[MNDemNY]

44. That IS what I thought.

:evilgrin:

[rebel with a cause]

51. and the number of people put on ignore list.

:shrug:

[MNDemNY]

55. Fingers in ears "La-La-La-La-La-La...."

:o

[Clio the Leo]

36. And because I dont want to be the ONLY one with this song trapped in my head all day...

They may even be cuter than Barack and Michelle...

[Raine]

42. BEAUTIFUL ...

I might be annoyed with some of Obama's decisions lately but I LOVE them as a couple, they make me smile. :-)

[Trajan]

48. Daddy ? ... Am I pretty ?

Darling ? .... You would be pretty if it weren't for the horrible suffering that mankind has endured for an eternity ....

Momma ? ..... I wrote a poem, would you like me to read it ?

Honey ? .... How can you ask me to read your poem when so many children are everyday starving for enough food ? .... Do THEY care about your poems ?

My precious sweetheart ? ...... I would love you, if it weren't for the fact that so many people go unloved each and every day .... How dare you ask for love ......

======================

Did I just hijack this heartwarming thread with a megablast of hopelessness and egocentric misanthropy ?

You betcha ....

Ridiculing those who desire even a little beauty; begrudging everyone a single happy moment; all because something, somewhere in the world might be wrong, seems the most cynical selfishness to me ....

It's not about caring for those who suffer, but caring only for your own feelings about a harsh world .... And projecting that jaded negativity onto the people around you ....

Why even bother to live if no joy can ever exist unless the entire world is perfect ? .... That can and will NEVER happen ....

The Obama's have a special kind of love that is both obvious and infectious .... It MULTIPLIES love onto the people around them ....

One of those people is me .... Thanks ....

[WyldRogue]

53. Well then..

... *replaces Jaded statue with soapstone*

There you go then, now you can concentrate on all the supposedly GOOD stuff to protect you from reality.

Sheesh....
