ODS

[Sickofleft]

ODS is usually applied to people on the right by our esteemed friends on the left. The truth is, it is not us that have some sort of derangement syndrome when it comes to our current President.

It is the left itself. How else could you possible explain the morphing of every supporter of the President on this board into a version of "Baghdad Bob" over the Presidents compelete and utter mishandling of Syria?

The once great and proud left, bankrupt and floundering with a unmitigated disater currently in the White House.

...true, the right does not have any sort of derangement syndrome - the right has an obsession - the right is consumed by a loathing of everything and anything Obama - period.

You point out that income for the top 1% is surging at the fastest pace since the 1920s, and progressive NAZIs attack YOU as a racist for pointing it out.

First up to prove my point...Thank you.

Lol....this is so funny. The Syria issue is still going on but yet it is a complete mishandling. Your obsession with wishing your country to fail is so sad. Hate consumption does that. Even if everything we want turns out well, you will deny it.

Your first mistake is to assume that everybody on this board who supports the president also supports his handling of Syria. Oh that's right... anyone who voted for President Obama would never disagree with him and are all supposed to be socialist loving, Obamabot sheeple who worship "Dear Leader".... the "One".. or the "Messiah". Tell that to the 50% of Democrats who oppose military strikes in Syria.


...and yeah...I'm a long time lurker. Just thought I'd visit again and jump into the action.

Welcome long time lurker first time poster! Good post, and yes.. unlike Rs, we don't walk in lockstep. Many if not most of us voice our displeasure with Obama regularly.

ODS is claiming that Obama mishandled Syria, when we are seeing an end to the gassings without us having to fire a shot.

I have to agree. I did not vote for Obama. In 2008, I thought he was too idealistic, too far to the left on his social policies, and too untried. He was an unknown. I didn't like him enough to cast my vote for him. I didn't buy "hope and change" because I generally think all policians lie and say whatever they think will get them into office. So, I put little to no weight on what they say they will do to change things, etc. Plus, in Obama's case, I think that his hope and change was part of his idealism. He had yet to hit the real world and see how far entrenched policians in Washington were invested in the status quo.

BUT - I lost all respect for him as he practically rammed Obamacare through - depsite almost 50% of the populace disagreeing with it in some form. Yes, there were those like me who saw right away that a 30 hour limit was only going to encourage people cut hours on staff, others who thought it didn't go far enough, etc.... but the point is EVEN when it was passed there was a lot of popular dissatisfaction with it. But, it was HIS agenda to pass it and he fast tracked it and did it. And, we are all seeing the fall out from that. Sure, some of it was very good. Eliminating pre-existing conditions and lifetime limits - I would absolutely support. Some of it was contradictory - like letting kids stay on their parents plan until they are 26 except what you really need is to get healthy young people paying on their own plans to make this system work. Some of it was stupid- like essentially giving employers incetive to further reduce working hours of their lowest paid employees so they will not have to make their plans "affordable" to them. Either way- in the end, I think it was a poorly thought out piece of legislation that as a whole wasn't popular enough to pass but pass it they did. And, I will not respect any Representative who doesn't listen to his constituents. He proved how it was for him... he knew best, he wanted to make his mark... he didn't really care what those against the legislation thought and in a rather juvenile way - turned even public opposition against his legislation as personal opposition against him.

I don't hate him, I am not against HIM. Outside of his role as President, I think he is probably a nice enough guy. A good father to his girls, etc. BUT - I do oppose his agenda, what he has, in my opinion, come to stand for which is just another lying Politician who says one thing and does another thing and who is more interested in his agenda, than in representing the people.

I am only going by what has been posted in regards to Syria and....if the shoe fits.

Absolutely. By ANY objective, practical, and traditional measure, Pres. Obama appears to be presiding over a rare and positive outcome. We don't need to accept that it's all THAT positive and we don't even need to assign much credit to Obama if we don't want to.

But actually trying to shout down Obama in this particular instance - given the facts known to all - is SO bizarre, incoherent, and contrary to most all commonly accepted ideas and principles, that it can ONLY be explained by ODS!

There's plenty of garden-variety hypocrisy going on, on the left, about Obama -- bending over backwards to excuse in him things they would have crucified Bush for. But the left has a long, long way to go to reach the level of derangement that the right, on the whole, has reached. There is substantial opposition to Obama, from the left, in a way there never was against Bush, on the right, for similar issues. For example, look at the number of major Democrats and media liberals who have spoken out against Obama's proposed air strikes against Syria. Now compare that to the near-total-absence of similar dissent from major Republicans and media conservatives about Bush's propose invasion of Iraq. I can literally only think of two major Republicans or conservatives who publicly campaigned against launching the Iraq invasion, compared to dozens of major lefties who have done so on Syria. And that's all the more surprising when you remember how much more unusual what Bush was proposing was. How many times in American history has the US launched a full-scale ground invasion of a sovereign nation that hadn't attacked us? By comparison, the kind of limited aerial engagement Obama is talking about is practically commonplace in recent American history.

It took longer then expected but I was wondering when someone would launch a defense of this sorry episode by invoking "Bush".

As you know, I've been a frequent and very harsh critic of Obama's foreign policy, but I agree with you here. I may not have liked his saber-rattling, but if this plays out such that the gassings stop without us having had to fire a shot, it will be a major foreign policy triumph.

This is the difference between a critic of Obama and someone suffering from ODS. A critic, like myself, may, at times, criticize him unfairly or overly harshly, but it's always in response to an analysis of real-world event. Someone with ODS starts with the conclusion (that Obama has screwed up) and forces all real-world events to fit within that template, such that even something as undeniably good as maneuvering Moscow into getting Syria to submit to international control of its chemical weapons, at no cost to America, must somehow be portrayed as bad. They're a disgrace.

Not really. I think he's done a pretty good job going after Medicare/Medicaid fraud.

I understand why you right-wingers whimper so much every time his name gets brought up. It underscores the fact you are nothing but mindless partisan drones. But expect the name to keep coming up. Your side supported arguably the worst president in American history, and we patriots aren't going to let you forget it. Get used to it.
