When something is presented other than a silly question at the end of a meaningless soundbyte, I would have something to respond to. But there's no point in responding to what is essentially a bumper sticker. What appears to be profound or clever to those who live in a sound byte world, are actually meaningless words strung together so as to appear meaningful. If someone thinks there is an equivalency in holding the country hostage to repeal then delay law because the hostage takers couldn't get their way through legislation, and delaying the law's implementation because the roll-out isn't ready are too immature to be ready for conversation.
Something tells me you have another bumper sticker ready .....
As you said, virtually everything he has done is exactly the opposite of that which he should have done.
Everyone does things wrong some of the time.............. it's very rare that someone can get it wrong ALL of the time. I guess the brilliant Obama is good at that at least.
1. He didn't have to make the GOP look like crap. They did that on their own.
2. They didn't start out asking for a delay, they started out trying to kill it. By the time they got around to a delay they'd lost any leverage they could have had. The majority of voters were blaming the GOP for the mess....and you think Obama should have done something different than he did?
If only the GOP had thought about WWII vets being "thrown under the bus" and 800,000 federal employees without a paycheck before they started down that path they wouldn't be worried about losing congress next year....
Yeah....he should have followed Romney's advice and just forgotten all about Bin Laden or bailing out GM and Chrysler....and what was wrong with Gaddafi running Libya? Who cares if 50 million people don't have healthcare or if 750,000 people per month are losing their jobs....and who cares if the generals running the war in Afghanistan said they needed more troops....
If he'd done the opposite of everything he has done....he'd have been Bush.

All lies. But the first affirmative action president needs that kind of support.
Your usual tactic. Declare anything you don't like to be lies and run away.
Be specific. Find one thing in my post that is a lie.

As we've discussed previously, documenting untruth in your posts is a full time job. That aside, your capacity for consumed Koolaid storage is spectacular. Folks could waterski on that reservoir. Up and down the front page, your full time Obama apologetics would make C.S. Lewis blush.
Not only do you not hold him accountable for anything, but you attack any who attempt to do so. Between you and Julie, I'm not sure which is the High Priest/Priestess.
It's darned weird, though. You guys are like giggly, breathless Bieber fans.

Read the original post. It is nuanced. Nothing MV addressed really answered what was asserted. That affirmative action president could have better protected our financial standing internationally.

On GM....yes he should have forgotten about them...
Since that time they have put the majority of their effort into their multinational business and they are in the process of leaving North America anyway.
What...did you think giving money to the financial vampires who run GM would make them change their worldview?

Last time you apologized...because you were wrong.
You have never responded with evidence that I've lied....my bet is you won't because you can't. You just aren't that smart.

Do me a favor, give a valid premise . No one was called a terrorist for delaying obmacare ..it was for shutting down the government . And what does racism, have to do with shutting down the gov?Somehow I doubt I'll get an answer.
Going back to that lack of integrity thing that was talked about in Barb's post earlier........Maybe the one Liberal/ Democrat on this board with integrity will give a straight answer to my question here.
The question is below in yellow print.

Typically, his posts are littered with untruth - and partial-truths-by-design. For example, above he cites the fact that knucklehead Republicans (yes, they are idjits) did not initially request a delay as somehow absolving Democrats and/or Obama from responding to the subsequent delay request. Dems instead opted for showboating and extraction of political capital.
A thoughtful, honest, critical poster would write something like, "The GOP should have begun with a point of delay request rather than starting with total de-funding and then backing into a delay request as fall back position, however that doesn't mean that the Administration and Dems in general shouldn't have engaged on that point..." or something like that. This is especially true since that is the very thing now being considered.
However, the above would require good faith consideration that the Obama Administration is something shy of deity, would necessitate critical capacity of review of one's own side, and - of course - a posting orientation other than one abject adversarialism for it's own sake.
There is no question the point of delay could have - and should have been substantively discussed. There is likewise clear evidence that the administration can pretty much do whatever it wants without fear of scrutiny by most loyalists here.

MV asks who cares if 50M people don't have insurance. Well the problem is healthcare costs. Nothing he has ever said (which is affirmative action president's words verbatim) addresses that very fundamental problem. But MV uses that line as a given winning point. He does that time and again on any number of issues. The guy is running around naked and I wish he'd put some clothes on.

I get a kick out of white males who have enjoyed affirmative action calling somebody with amazing accomplishments an affirmative action Pres. Nothing worse than having to share the party... But at least it exposes more of your racism, oh but you're not a racist lol
