"I Know Because I Won Both of Them." What Obama Should Have Said Next....

"If you want another chance to catch me, you'll have to change the term limit law, and then order some more birdseed from ACME."


-Contrived rumors about fake birth certificates
-Town Hall meetings full of angry crackpots bussed in by Koch brothers front organizations
-Trumped up scandals over the IRS, Fast & Furious, and Benghazi
-Contempt votes against his Attorney General
-Record breaking numbers of filibusters by Senate Republicans
-Record numbers of appointments blocked
-Frivolous lawsuits filed over his lawful use of Executive Orders
-CONSTANT threats of impeachment
-Shenanigans with hidden camera ACORN videos edited by jackoffs
-TRUCK LOADS of dark money thrown into the election by plutocrats and multinational corporations
-Government shutdowns with midnight renditions of Green Eggs and Ham, and staged riots at National War Memorials
-Six years of continuous, uninterrupted, 24/7 bullshit from Fox News, simultaneously calling him a tyrannical dictator and a wimp without worry over the contradiction

Not only did they throw everything INCLUDING the kitchen sink at this guy, but they also threw the bathroom sink AND the toilet at him, AND HE'S STILL SMILING.

I really love this guy!

3. About the SOTU address, I have one serious question:
Thu Jan 22, 2015, 02:53 AM
Jan 2015

Has there ever been an instance -- ever -- when the assembled Houses
of Congress gave mocking, jeering applause for a President who stated
that he did not have to / could not run for another election ?

GOP are just a disgraceful, shameless herd of swine.

 

adieu

High school sophomores have more grace and respect than these neanderthals. And I apologize to any of you who may have neanderthal genes for the comparison to the cro-magnons in Congress.

One the one hand: Yes. The Democrats applauded sarcastically when George Bush announced that his efforts to privatize Social Security had failed. I think that was the 2006 SOTU Address?

On the other hand: That doesn't really matter, given that the Republicans set the bar pretty low by yelling "YOU LIE!" at the President during his 2010 (I think) SOTU Address.

The Dems were applauding that a putrid policy failed --
that is not a personal attack.

What the GOP does, without consequences, is VERY personal.

Remember when cheney in all smugness declared "the adults are back in charge" - after his little dog dubya stole the election in 2000?

Well, he couldn't have been more wrong, inside-out, upside-down, and backwards. The GOP is the party of infants. Unruly, spoiled, entitled, tantrum-throwing infants, and damned poor sports. YES the CONS do hit below the belt. As often as possible. Maybe because, as people, they are VERY small. And very puny.

Dems always seem to be more adult.

18. "rather large"? ... that's all?

Ah no! That’s too brief, young man!
You might have said…Oh!… a hundred things, to plan
by varying the tone ... for example just suppose…
Aggressive: ‘I, Sir, if I had such a nose,
I’d have it amputated on the spot!’

Friendly: ‘But it must drown itself a lot,
you need a drinking-bowl of a special shape!’

Descriptive: ‘It’s a rock! ... A peak! ... A cape!
What’s that, it’s a cape?….. It’s a peninsular!’

Curious: ‘That oblong bag what’s it serve you for?
A sheath for scissors? Or a writing case?’

Gracious: ‘Do you love the winged race
so much, that you benignly set yourself
to provide their little claws with a shelf!’

Insolent: ‘Sir, when that pipe of yours glows
does the tobacco smoke rise from your nose
and make the neighbours cry, your chimney’s on fire?’

Considerate: ‘Have a care, ... lest your head grow tired
of such a weight ... and it’s the ground you sit on!’

Tender: ‘Have a small umbrella fashioned,
for fear lest in sunshine it lose all its colour!’

Pedantic: ‘That rare beast, Aristophanes, Sir,
named Hippocamp-elephanto-camelos,
must have on its head such flesh, such a solid boss!’

Familiar:
‘The latest fashion, my friend, that crook
for hanging your hat on? True, it’s a useful hook!’

Eloquent: ‘No winds at all, majestic nose
can give you colds! Except when the mistral blows!’


Dramatic: ‘When it bleeds it’s the Red Sea!’

Admiring: ‘What a sign for a perfumery!’

Lyric: ‘Is this a conch? ... are you a Triton?’

Simple: ‘This monument, when does it open?’

Respectful: ‘Sir, allow me to congratulate you
that’s what we call owning a gabled view!’

Rustic: ‘Nah! That thing a nose? No way, not it!
That’s a dwarf pumpkin, or a giant turnip!’

Military: ‘Point that thing towards the cavalry!’

Practical: ‘Do you want it entered in the lottery!
Certainly, sir, it would be the biggest prize!’

Or lastly ... parodying Pyramus’s sighs:
‘Behold the nose that mars its owner’s nature
destroying harmony! It blushes now, the traitor!’

- That’s an idea, sir, of what you might have said, ...

Did anyone notice it only took him 3 seconds to come up with the perfect politically correct answer? This guy is on his game and I loved every second of it.

The GOP made a complete fool of themselves, by clapping(when not needed), and then continuously sitting on their asses when it came to supporting the middle class. How anyone can support these assholes is incomprehensible. If you think about it, he really made them out for who they really are, and should increase our chances in 2016.

...to reality. They listen to limbaugh, hannity, et. al. and BELIEVE the crap they throw out.

I've heard hundreds of time over the last four years that "Obamacare is a failed policy"*. Yet, I've NEVER heard a republican who says that articulate how or why it is "failed". That's because it has been an overwhelming success.

*it's not a policy, it's a LAW!

15. I am on the ACA

I don't know how I could afford insurance without it. It happened for us, just in time. I can sleep at night knowing I have insurance. For my instance, the ACA was a life saver.

Note: I'm a little concerned about how it will affect my taxes, yet to be done. It really doesn't matter though. If I owe, I owe. If I don't, I don't.

... ESPECIALLY his support of the corporate coup d'etat called the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the list enumerating the egregious transgressions perpetrated by the Republicans in Congress serves to illustrate the irrefutable fact that the Republicans in Congress are a seething nest of pathological liars consumed with malice and devoid of even a molecule of common human decency. To quote that obscene waste of skin, Ted Nugent, they are "subhuman mongrels" who defile everything this country once stood for. And that's on their BEST day!
