That’s what motivates people to get things done! » Posted By AdLib On January 28, 2010 @ 2:36 pm With you on that. I don’t think any individual’s opinions should be qualified or disqualified based upon nationality. I have some very strong opinions about what’s going on in a number of countries. Sometimes, I think those on the outside sometimes have the best perspective on the society of other’s. The world would have been much poorer without de Tocqueville’s perspective on America. » Posted By AdLib On January 28, 2010 @ 2:33 pm Marion, another very on-target article, well done. When we talk about the MSM we are talking about the propaganda arms of major corporations. There is not one major news broadcaster that is an independent entity…the way it used to be…when we had a Free Press to protect The People as the Founders of this nation envisioned. So we have lost what The Founders saw as our fourth branch of government and our safety net if the other three branches failed the people. And with the SCOTUS ruling, we have lost our elections now to these corporations. Pres. Obama was right and those who remain in Congress with principles and respect for democracy had better make damn well sure they lock powerful restrictions on corporations soon or it could be decades or forever until the balance of the SCOTUS changes to overturn the corporate stranglehold on our democracy and society. » Posted By AdLib On January 28, 2010 @ 1:04 pm The issue I have with the graph and your proposition that the majority of Americans are Center Right is that there is no clarity or consistency as to what “conservative” means. Someone who believes in balanced budgets but supports a public option may call themselves “conservative”. Someone who supports the war in Afghanistan and supports a woman’s right to choose though they would never have an abortion themselves may call themselves conservative. It’s far easier to call oneself a conservative for many reasons than a liberal but the self-application of a title doesn’t mean it’s accurate. The majority of Americans wanted a Public Option. That’s not conservative. They wanted out of Iraq. That’s not conservative. They wanted Barack Obama as president. That sure ain’t conservative. Maybe Americans are just trained consumers and can be sold on anything, depending on the product on the pitch? » Posted By AdLib On January 29, 2010 @ 12:48 am That is criminal! Can’t they sue to regain their land? That’s fraud! » Posted By AdLib On January 28, 2010 @ 11:47 pm Fill me in on how nuclear waste is not piling up anymore and being recycled, not familiar with that. » Posted By AdLib On January 28, 2010 @ 11:47 pm Tiger, what I think we can agree both agree on is that you set out to create a list solely of the items that you think would paint Obama in the worst possible light. There can be no dispute that you presented a very one sided picture of the Obama presidency, excluding any and all actions and issues that you and others would applaud. The same could be done to anyone, you or me, to portray them in a negative light. I oppose a number of things in your list that Obama has done (though you list things he hasn’t done but may have only proposed) however, I would not prefer a President Romney in 2012 and that is the realistic choice you have to make. If you oppose or will not support Obama, that is one less vote Romney or Palin would need to become president. » Posted By AdLib On January 28, 2010 @ 11:43 pm You’ve expressed very aggressively your resentment of those who support the president despite their disagreements with him on issues. Instead, you appear to oppose the president and his supporters because he does not completely reflect your positions on issues. I accept and respect your POV but am curious, if you oppose Obama as president for all these reasons, when he runs for president in 2012, will not your lack of support for him merely contribute to the possibility of putting in a President Romney or President Palin? If you and others who consider themselves Dems but oppose Obama contributed to that, would you not in the end have far more disagreements with a President Romney or President Palin on policy and the course of the nation than the complaints you list here against Obama and his supporters? Perhaps I’m misunderstanding your POV but it appears to reflect a purist expectation, that support of a president is unacceptable if that president does not hue to all political views of an individual member. Historically, purism is less reflective of the Democratic Party than it is The GOP. So when you refer to a new » Posted By AdLib On January 28, 2010 @ 3:09 pm Man! You nailed that one dead center! Nice! » Posted By AdLib On January 27, 2010 @ 2:53 pm LuluMay, so nice to see you! Thank you for your heartfelt and passionate support for our president. With all the intensity and huge issues that face us, it is harder to step back and put this president and his challenges in perspective. I hope that through his SOTU address, Pres. Obama inspires, energizes and reminds people of who he is and how we need to work together to accomplish the big goals ahead. We need to focus now on how we can bring things to fruition, not how many reasons we have to wag fingers. Can we get back to where we were a year ago in supporting this president and a Progressive agenda? Yes we can! » Posted By AdLib On January 27, 2010 @ 2:02 pm State of the Union Address – Live Blog Thanks Hope! My pleasure! » Posted By AdLib On January 27, 2010 @ 7:57 pm I was waiting for the E-Meters to come out. » Posted By AdLib On January 27, 2010 @ 7:56 pm Cheers Nellie! Thanks for helping to make it a success! » Posted By AdLib On January 27, 2010 @ 7:48 pm Why do Republicans talk to the public like they’re talking to 5 year olds? Because they’re used to the primaries where that’s the mental age they have to appeal to. » Posted By AdLib On January 27, 2010 @ 7:47 pm This staged audience is so ridiculous! The black woman, white skinhead man, Asian man and white woman. That about covers the BS spectrum. And this guy speaks in ENORMOUS generalities. He’s going to give us all everything we want if we deregulate. YAY!!! » Posted By AdLib On January 27, 2010 @ 7:42 pm Deregulation is the answer. WHo woulda thunk it? » Posted By AdLib On January 27, 2010 @ 7:40 pm Hey, SN! Co-sign! » Posted By AdLib On January 27, 2010 @ 7:40 pm That’s why I kept yelling at him to refill my pasta bowl! » Posted By AdLib On January 27, 2010 @ 7:39 pm They just had a huge oil spill off TX and this ass is bragging about it. And oil drilling he calls “innovative”. » Posted By AdLib On January 27, 2010 @ 7:36 pm Want a nightmare? Imagine these guys in the White House. » Posted By AdLib On January 27, 2010 @ 7:35 pm Joe Wilson says, “You Lie!” » Posted By AdLib On January 27, 2010 @ 7:34 pm FAIL! » Posted By AdLib On January 27, 2010 @ 7:32 pm Indeed, they looked like children. » Posted By AdLib On January 27, 2010 @ 7:26 pm On our NBC feed they’re commenting on what sarcastic howling assholes the GOP were. » Posted By AdLib On January 27, 2010 @ 7:22 pm I DON’T QUIT! » Posted By AdLib On January 27, 2010 @ 7:20 pm Or…we’re smart enough to be President? » Posted By AdLib On January 27, 2010 @ 7:19 pm Rally Americans then keep driving them all year round, Mr. Pres! Don’t let up and they will follow the path they know is right! » Posted By AdLib On January 27, 2010 @ 7:19 pm Taking on the psyche of Americans.
