The Best of DU GD:P Obama Criticisms

[berni_mccoy]

The best DU GD:P has to criticize Obama for:

He's:
"... so arrogant"
"... narcissistic"
"... contemptuous"
"... rude"
"... inexperienced"
"... no JFK"

OMG: He SNEERED when he said SECRETARY!!1!

HOW AWFUL: He SNUBBED Hillary!!1! HOW DARE HEEEEE!!1!?

Sadly, I have seen no real criticism of his policies or his ability to be president.

The best DU GD:P has is been pretty shallow. Very disappointing.

23. And the classic "I'm too fucking lazy to read the policy proposals on his webpage,

therefore Obama lacks substance."

he must be doing something right.

17. I've criticized Obama's policies and his ability to be an effective president here

I'll collect links later, after the debate, if you're really interested. But, I just want you to know that not all criticism is shallow and meaningless.

12. In all fairness, the petty bullshit is RAMPANT on both sides.

And it's stupid from both sides.

"Hillary's brown suit does not look good on her"
"Could I borrow a towel? I want to wipe that BEMUSED smile off Hillary's face"
"Hillary had an "African American Man" come up a talk to her about Jobs!!1 "
"Why is Hillary Clinton making odd faces?"
"Hillary is really waving her hands around"

[LostinVA]

15. Here's two real criticisms of him: NCLB and Ex-Gay Clowns

[berni_mccoy]

16. You Pick All the Shallow Bullshit And Call That "Best"?

Hello, Rush!

[berni_mccoy]

19. Ok, show me some real links. Every post I've read tonight attacking Obama has been one of the above

[ThatPoetGuy]

21. If you want real criticism of Obama's policies, I've got it.

Please don't respond with, "Hillary this" or "Hillary that." I was an Edwards supporter, and I'm still deciding where to go now.

Edwards' plan for Iraq was to leave only enough troops to guard the embassy. That's a good plan.

Obama's plan for Iraq is to leave enough troops to guard the embassy
AND extra troops to "strike back at al Qaeda" (his words, not mine)
AND more troops to protect the military who are striking back at al Qaeda
AND troops to protect American civilians -- I don't know who these American civilians in Iraq are --
AND troops to "train" Iraqi security forces.

Obama's Iraq policy is a bad policy. It amounts to more of what we have now.

On health care, Obama's plan isn't actually universal. It will leave approximately 15 million poor people without coverage. Right now, these poor people are largely covered by state-to-state indigent care programs. Obama's plan will invalidate those indigent care programs (as would Hillary's plan and Edwards' plan). But Hillary's plan and Edwards' plan included assistance for these poor people who suddenly lost their indigent care programs. Obama's does not.

Poor people are better off now than they would be under Obama's plan.

The Obama camp's response to this has been to attack universal health care as "mandates," trying to liken it to mandating auto insurance. This comparison is pure sleaze and dishonesty. "There are mandates to have auto insurance, and people drive without it," say Obama supporters. There are also mandates to pay unemployment insurance and social security coverage -- Obama's people were simply lying about the Edwards plan when they compared it to auto insurance mandates.
