The Governor of NEW YAWK blames PrezBo. I am guessing he is only blaming the White Half.” 6:07:50 AM 9/23/09 “Sounds like Patterson is trying to get revenge for Obama telling him not to run in the next gubernatorial election for New York. I don't see Patterson winning that election anyways. He's pissed off way too many people since he took over office.” 6:15:55 AM 9/23/09 “WHOOPS....Yes the Messiah hailed as the new "LEADER' is losing his shine faster than the dew melts on the lawn. British papers don't seem to have to follow the STATE RUN MEDIA line of the American Lamestream Crap... http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cifamerica/2009/sep/22/obama-un-climate-change-europe” 6:28:45 AM 9/23/09 “I find this hilarious. Patterson is the last person to be criticizing anyone. We're talking about a guy that has and approval rating of less than 20%.” 6:41:45 AM 9/23/09 “Well yeah, but the Prez is closing fast...LOL” 6:57:42 AM 9/23/09 “This is one (and only) race Patterson has a good chance of winning.” 7:02:31 AM 9/23/09 “ 7:10:37 AM 9/23/09 “Stragely Geo I only remember liberals ever calling for the Murder of A President, or his family or the VEEP or his family...Please offer an example of where such action has been called for by Fox news. Unless you think reporting the news accurately is a call for violence.” 7:17:04 AM 9/23/09 “OH MAN....When you get #&%!$ slapped by non other than Ralph (I live in my sister's house) Nader...thats like being beaten senseless by Don Knotts. http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1925576,00.html What's your take on Obama so far? Weak. Waffling, wavering, ambiguous and overwhelmingly concessionary. ” 10:22:22 AM 9/23/09 “ ”2:15:00 PM 9/23/09 “Apparently the B'Rat Obama is his own best advocate....LOL http://www.businessandmedia.org/commentary/2009/20090923103258.aspx In mythology, Narcissus was the guy who fell in love with his own reflection. In 2009, he’s the president of the United States. Instead of adoring his own image, Obama loves to hear himself talk – about himself. In just 41 speeches this year, Obama has talked about himself nearly 1,200 times – 1,198 to be exact. (That breaks down to 1,121 “I”s and just 77 “me”s.) And that just includes 34 weekly addresses and his seven major speeches. Count the hundreds of other public speeches and he’d be off the charts. And if you needed any more confirmation, there was this Sunday’s Obama-palooza on the network talking head shows. Obama pulled a presidential first, going back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back on five different networks. He hit “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” on ABC, “Meet the Press” on NBC, “Face the Nation” on CBS, as well as interviews on both CNN and Univision. “We’re essentially roadblocking the time by appearing on each station,” David Axelrod, senior adviser to the president, told The New York Times. Pretty easy to monopolize a message when you block all five networks. And yes, the media didn’t just let him, they reveled in it. CNN’s Howard Kurtz and others even did stories about Obama’s overexposure, only mildly hinting at the irony that they were making the problem worse at the same time. The interviews went off as expected. Obama kept his “I” on the nation’s problems. He mustered 387 personal mentions in just 82 minutes of air time. Forget the economy, health care, racism or whatever. Every 13 seconds, Obama was talking about … Obama. Next stop, David Letterman on Sept. 21. You already know the topic. HE truly is the spoiled little rich kid demanding attention. Like a spoiled brat angry because he can't get the "latest Toy" he is throwing a tantrum...real nice for the President of what used to be the most powerful nation in the World. (OH he broke that too).” 6:35:57 AM 9/24/09 “I'm pretty sure Bush and Clinton are the ones that broke it, though I'm not sure if Obama has figured out how to fix it. last edited: 9/24/09 6:12:55 AM” 6:40:39 AM 9/24/09 “ok, i try to keep off the fuego threads but i found this a little disturbing and perhaps scary. i guess the part i find the most difficult to swallow is that, thus far, he really hasn't accomplished much of anything to deserve this kind of attention. oh well. time will tell. in the mean time, if this happened to my kids you can bet i would have it out not only with the teacher but with the school board and district administrator (they all hates my guts anyway because i keep ratting them out to the press). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aqMTD5UFmU” 8:42:21 AM 9/24/09 “http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/09/24/lyrics-songs-president-obama/ AH yes The Dear Leader at work. A video posted on YouTube appears to show a New Jersey elementary school class being taught to sing praises of the "great accomplishments" of President Obama. The video shows nearly 20 young children taught a song overflowing with campaign slogans and praise for "Barack Hussein Obama," repeatedly chanting the president's name and celebrating his accomplishments, including his "great plans" to "make this country's economy No. 1 again." The video identifies the kids as students at the B. Bernice Young Elementary School in Burlington, N.J., with taping taking place last June. The song quotes directly from the spiritual "Jesus Loves the Little Children," though Jesus' name is replaced with Obama's: "He said red, yellow, black or white/All are equal in his sight. Barack Hussein Obama." Among other lyrics, touting a fair-pay bill Obama signed in January: "He said we must be clear today/Equal work means equal pay." Click here to see the video. The author of the full lyrics is unknown, but a woman -- possibly a teacher -- can be heard in the beginning of the video correcting and helping a student who has forgotten the words. Click here to see the full lyrics to both songs. The office of the superintendent of Burlington Township School District did not provide comment or confirmation to FOXNews.com that the songs were recorded at B. Bernice Young Elementary when contacted by phone Thursday. The video was originally posted Sept. 6, two days before Obama made an address to the nation's schoolchildren in which he praised the American education system as the best in the world and urged students to stay in school. "At the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, and the best schools in the world," Obama said.” 10:59:21 AM 9/24/09 “I think people forget he is a Chicago politician. They don't call Chicago the windy city because of the breeze off the lake...” 5:09:04 PM 9/24/09 “So true Yogi. But listening to him blather about "a world without nuclear weapons" was like going on the "Its a small world after all" ride at Disney. I truly think the man has NO, Zip ZERO NADA conception of reality.” 7:19:58 AM 9/25/09 “Dang, I adore that guy. Gotta go now. I gotta get to work so I can send all my money to big gubmint.” 7:20:06 AM 9/25/09 “he really hasn't accomplished much of anything Nonsense - he's stabbed the violins and tilts of the country in the back many times now. It's been hilarious to watch them try to ignore it.” 7:24:06 AM 9/25/09 “http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204488304574433343630176378.html President Obama addressed Congress two weeks ago on the issue of health care, and on the same day an Associated Press GfK poll showed that the proportion of Americans who strongly approve of the way he is doing his job has fallen from 41% in December to 24% now. And the percentage of people who strongly disapprove of his performance has risen from 6% to 35%. Those serious declines no doubt have to do with many issues--economic decline, the massive spending increases (enacted and proposed) of $6.5 trillion over the next decade, the coming massive tax increases that are presidential and congressional priorities, and currently most important, the proposed governmental takeover of health care. On that matter, more than 1.3 million people have signed and sent to Congress the Salem Radio Network's Free Our Health Care Now! petition to make sure individuals, not the national government, make their health care decisions. (Disclosure: The petition incorporated information form the National Center for Policy Analysis, of which I am chairman.) ” 7:37:33 AM 9/25/09 “OH this is Good.... NOW OUR Dear Leader has a new plan. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090927/ap_on_re_us/us_more_school WASHINGTON – Students beware: The summer vacation you just enjoyed could be sharply curtailed if President Barack Obama gets his way. Obama says American kids spend too little time in school, putting them at a disadvantage with other students around the globe. "Now, I know longer school days and school years are not wildly popular ideas," the president said earlier this year. "Not with Malia and Sasha, not in my family, and probably not in yours. But the challenges of a new century demand more time in the classroom."” 6:27:58 AM 9/28/09 “you know, I do wish Obama would quit posturing and posing and do a little more work at this change he won the election on. I understand the need to present himself as personal and likeable, but I'd much rather see him get to work. The changes he has brought about so far have been good (in my opinion), but he could get a lot more done if he weren't doing the talk show circuit” 5:39:56 PM 9/28/09 “however, I don't see anything wrong with calling for kids to spend more time in class... considering the sorry educations most come out of school with, a little more learning couldn't hurt” 5:49:12 PM 9/28/09 “Actually he spoke about this before he was elected. This is one reason he won by almost 10 million votes. Get over it.” 6:54:25 PM 9/28/09 “he won because the market went to #&%!$ and the banks were failing and he wasn't a republican.” 7:03:52 PM 9/28/09 “I agree with Hyway....plus the fact that McCain is weird and lame. Pepsi, I knew you'd finally slip up and I was right, as usual. As I've suspected all along, you are a complete liberal progressive and not anywhere near the moderate you pretend to be....not that there's anything wrong with that but you should be man enough to admit what you believe in. Why do you pretend you're moderate? That's what tilt used to do but he finally broke character and just got all freeky deeky and let it all hang out....It always amazes me that people will follow some one who is decieving them. Like the only way to convince someone that your point of view is the right one is to deceive them...” 7:57:34 PM 9/28/09 “Guys, he won because he was a heck of a salesman and the Republicrats ran a tired old worn out grampa. Sadly if Obama would just pick up one or two "libertarian" ideas like "Fair Tax" or 10th Amendment review....he would destroy the dying elephant that is the Republicrat Party. Strat...moderate is just not having the guts to admit you are liberal.” 6:30:07 AM 9/29/09 “I agree XLfourhundred” 7:54:40 AM 9/29/09 “Here's a video of a group of community organizers praying to Obama. This is creepy.... http://www.breitbart.tv/shock-discovery-community-organizers-pray-to-president-elect-obama/” 8:11:41 AM 9/29/09 “He won by getting the minority vote to actually vote. Gramp's girl friend was more of a problem than his age and participation in VM.” 8:29:14 AM 9/29/09 “It should be obvious, even to Them.” 8:31:58 AM 9/29/09 “The sad thing about the Obamamamammamamma vote was that they voted for slick marketing. I often wonder what percentage of his people get nailed with Nigerian Scams.” 8:33:12 AM 9/29/09 “Remember that last Prez, VP and Sec. of Death? Think they may had opened the door to anyone, anyone,anyone,anyone....” 8:40:10 AM 9/29/09 “lol, so I'm a liberal progressive because... what again? Because I said I wished Obama did less posturing and more work? Or was it because I said kids need better educations. d00d, YOU sure as schit could use a better education last edited: 9/29/09 9:02:53 AM” 9:31:18 AM 9/29/09 “Can sum it up in one quote The changes he has brought about so far have been good (in my opinion), but he could get a lot more done if he weren't doing the talk show circuit” pepsisformosa 5:39:56 PM 9/28/09 pepsi please expand on one POSITIVE thing Obama has led the way on?” 11:26:15 AM 9/29/09 “well, for starters, I'm very happy with his goals and actions toward clean energy and environmental conservation - for example: 1. the wilderness bill he signed in March 2. the $100 billion part of the stimulus bill given to green spending. 3. restoration of the endangered species protection that Bush removed 4. stopping offshore drilling and taking big steps to stop mountaintop removal mining 5. Actually listening to scientists regarding the climate, public health, etc (you know, scientific stuff) The stimulus as a whole, I felt, was more than a little too lofty, but overall I liked the idea and I think it's starting to pay off. There's the actions to open up stem cell research again... Though I don't agree 100% with the health care reform, I think it's a tremendous (and much needed) step forward. Then there's the whole showing respect, rather than arrogance, to the rest of the world - trying to build bridges to the countries we aren't best of buds with, using diplomacy... that's big with me too” 11:46:24 AM 9/29/09 “Well lets look at the Challenges facing AMERICA today... 1. signed without the 5 days of comment. which created ZIP ZERO NADA jobs. Fluff and happy faces law. 2. OOOH 100 bEEELion Dollars. At a cost of 2.2 jobs for every job created...GREAT SUCCESS. 3. OOOH great///zip zero nada in any effect to the average citizen trying to find work 4. Ofcourse this is not stopping CHINA, RUSSIA and CUBA from drilling in the Gulf of Mexico...so once again we will be buying more fuel from...the other guy rather than producing it ourselves. 5. We have already established that for every "scientist" we can find an opposing position. In essence he did some flashy STUFF that was really NEAT that meant nothing to the survival of Americans in the short term. THAT Sir is why you are a liberal. People are losing jobs faster as the "stimulus" fails. And yet you are happy because more feel good plans went into action.” 11:59:07 AM 9/29/09 “See, I don't care how many jobs it created. I care about the land it protected and the efforts to clean up the environment. That's why I said "in my opinion" - because I don't view success in terms of dollar signs and jobs. The wilderness bill he signs protected millions of acres, including some of my absolute favorite places in the country (places Bush had hastily opened to oil leases right before leaving office). As for the opposing scientists - that's just plain false. You can look at any poll of the scientific community you want and you'll find that the community usually is about 98-99% in agreement about an issue. You can dig real hard and find that 1% in opposition, sure, and you can pretend that if you shout it loud enough, their viewpoint will be as valid as the other 99%, but that's just ridiculous and dishonest” 12:03:04 PM 9/29/09 “you can call it "fluff" all you want, but these things are long term fixes and solutions to damage that would be long term if not irreversable. I understand the need for a short-term fix to the job situation (which is why I said he could be doing a hell of a lot more than he's doing), but I think the work he's done on the environment is extremely important. You can't discredit the good things he HAS done because of the good things he HASN'T YET done... that's absurd last edited: 9/29/09 11:38:24 AM” 12:06:21 PM 9/29/09 “This hick's file at the Human Relations Commission has got to be a foot thick.” 12:14:20 PM 9/29/09 “And you wonder why we call you LIBERAL...you see Federal Government Control as the only solution...Pepsi..you are a Liberal, get over it. Tilty, the HRC is a failed group, you know it. Heck it was a joke from day one.” 12:15:46 PM 9/29/09 “that's projection, XL. I'd rather NO fvcking government control of anything (and if you'd read much of what I post, you'd see that I stick by that)... but since we HAVE to have a government, I'm glad we finally have one with a respect for the environment. It's a lot easier to lump people into groups and judge them entirely on that. If it makes you feel better to just say I'm another nasty liberal that believes the exact same thing aas all other liberals, then go ahead and do it. If you want to engage in actual intelligent discussion, drop the labels and let's talk. Don't let the #&%!$ry on this site drag you down - I know you're smarter than that. We appear to share the same favorite writer and the same mistrust of the government - so don't go and pretend I'm an obedient puppydog because I won't claim that our leader right now is completely failing... just partially failing last edited: 9/29/09 11:51:55 AM” 12:19:03 PM 9/29/09 “me thinks the lady doth protest too much.....” 1:43:21 PM 9/29/09 “Obama has given over 120 media interviews in 8 months, plays golf almost every weekend, is spending 2 days in Denmark to lobby for 2016 Olympics - but has only talked to Gen. McChrystal, Afghanistan commander, 1 time in 70 days” 1:55:06 PM 9/29/09 “ so I'm a liberal progressive because... what again? Because I said I wished Obama did less posturing and more work? Or was it because I said kids need better educations. d00d, YOU sure as schit could use a better education last edited: 9/29/09 9:02:53 AM” pepsisformosa So, in other words, he's not liberal enough for your tastes... It's a lot easier to lump people into groups and judge them entirely on that. If it makes you feel better to just say I'm another nasty liberal that believes the exact same thing aas all other liberals, then go ahead and do it. If you want to engage in actual intelligent discussion, drop the labels and let's talk. Don't let the #&%!$ry on this site drag you down How can you say that with a straight face? You do this to me on a REGULAR BASIS.... It's cool man, I just don't see why you're ashamed or scared to admit it.” 2:39:36 PM 9/29/09 “'you see Federal Government Control as the only solution..' The government, that is owned by business, is the one who's job it is to stop business from controlling the country. Both parties are also owned by business, so that makes it more than difficult. I really don't know what you tea baggers are going to do other than try to bring down the only hope for stopping BIZ from running this country into the ground.” 2:56:49 PM 9/29/09 “lol, strat, I wouldn't dare lump you into any group for fear of severely insulting that group. You're just a single person, completely ignorant in politics but convinced, since you've bought hook line and sinker into the propagandic spew of Beck and his right-wing mouthpiece associates, that you can talk the talk with the rest of the big boys. You stand alone, and I'd never make the mistake of lumping you into any other group.
