DFab420's JournalDisingenuous critiques of the President and his policies
Here are my own personal thoughts on a couple of critiques I see here and around the political sphere that are now tellingly false and should help be used to label those that use them as disingenuous and lazy.Again these are VERY SPECIFIC critiques. Obviously there are things that need to be brought to light and discussed. HOWEVER I am not talking about those. So anyone who gets all in a huff about this, spare me your thoughts, they don't apply to the following...and if they do then I don't really see why you would use them on a Democratic Board..
1. Obama doesn't care about Gay Rights
- This one is first cause it's on the top of my brain. Obviously Biden forced Obama's hand, but other then that it is abundantly clear that the POTUS is in firm progressive territory with his opinions on marriage equality as well as ending DADT, extending hate crime protections, and giving more rights to same-sex partners of Federal Employees.
2. The President speaks well but never follows it up
- In lieu of having to make a list inside a list I won't add up ALL the things of the dreaded "Teh List" that our President has said he would do and done. Obviously there is work to do. But to continue the "I'll believe it when I see it" meme about our very busy President is laughable, and should be treated as such.
3. BUT WHERE ARE THE JOBS!
-
'nuff said
4.Gas Prices are [insert monetary sum or direction of prices]...this means Obama won't win!!
- Even Republican mouth pieces have a hard time using this one. Since when oh when did the President of the United States set and manage the prices of gas set by private companies weighing market shares and speculations....Seriously
5. THE WARS GODDAMMIT
- I guess this is now just..the WAR period. Since the Iraq theater of operations is over. And yes we need to leave Afghanistan, and YES we need to leave sooner rather then later. That is WHY we MUST re-elected the man who has made the plans to get out.
So those there are the top 5 of the moment. I'm sure I will come up with others. What are your thoughts DUBO? (DU Barack Obama just came up with it..kinda catchy)..
Do you consider this a fair judgment of these critiques? Are there some I missed that really get your goat? Or am I just missing by and inch or a mile?
