I' atleast this country won't shift from a democratic state to a socialist domain. May as well put Marx' rotting corpse on the ballot as a write-in.

Oh are you fucking serious. A SOCIALIST? Obama is not a socialist. He's the same thing as Bush. Guys that let Gordon Gekko wannabes get more rich and the middle class less richer.

By socialist, I was referring to his behavioral traits in relation to gathering food from the canopy. It's extremely communal, seeing that he and his ooo-ooo-aah-aah horde is of relative small stature. A diet of berries and gnats is adequately suffice.

It is odd how Obama has been painted as this far left extremist. However, if you look at where he falls on the political spectrum, he's just Right of center.

People in this country have very little perspective on what Left and Right are. I suspect that's because the Religious Right has been very organized and very effective at constantly shifting the Center, further and further to the Right. Which isn't all too surprising when 60% of Americans believe in a literal Noah's Ark.

I am really beginning to think that NOT Obama, but the mentality of this country is really Socialist.
Beginning to get really tired of people asking and complaining that the "gov't is not doing enough or much" to end this recession.
We as a nation are looking way too much for answers from the gov't.
Heck, even under Communism, the people wanted less involvement of the gov't in our everyday lives, but we didn't have a choice.

am I a Tea Party candidate?

 

[swizzlenuts]

Obama will be in Madison tomorrow. I don't know if I should go.

 

[Reign in Acai]

What the fuck for?

 

[swizzlenuts]

Dunno

according to the today show, "to promote the youth vote"

Obaboon came to Los Angeles chaperoned by a small army of secret service a month back. (Though the man in the yellow hat was nowhere to be found.) Anyhow, by all accounts it was the worst clusterfuck of congestion this city has ever witnessed, which is saying something. They shut down every road on his route from 3 miles on each side. Why can't this chimp simply swing from an alignment of money trees is beyond me. To a make a dull story end, people were fucking pissed! One lass was on the news stating that the five-0 wouldn't let her pull on to the street in which she resides, so she had to abandon her vehicle on Wilshire Blvd, carry her snot nosed rug rat 5 blocks through congestion all so he wouldn't shat himself. This entire mess was for no magnanimous purpose, the talking gibbon was merely attending a fund raising banquet for the ass party.

I have to say with all these Midterm election talks ... come 2012, the way things are going I doubt Obama will be re-elected.
the guy is trying and doing ... but needs to do something that either pleases or really pisses off a majority of the population in a major way ... none of which has happened.

everything seems like its flatlining ...

how do you guys feel?

hahaha ... this was just posted on FB on the Pres' account as an update:

Barack Obama When you want to go forward in your car, you put it in “D.” When you want to go backward, you put it in “R.” We want to go forward. We have to put it in “D.”

Analogy fail.

The "Third" Party

interesting take on things, but this is like waiting for the Messiah. also I think it's very much against the "inner go" the writer speaks about to be waiting for someone to "rescue us".

I still think Obama has the one thing right that change has to happen from the bottom up, but I think the man forgot one thing (looking back at these 2 years) ... is that it is no longer 1935 or 1955 ... the American population is lazy and feels entitled. Nobody fights for shit anymore.

 

[Ars Magna]

the American population is lazy and feels entitled. Nobody fights for shit anymore

Sad, isn't it?!? The entitlement BS is unbelievable. No one is accountable for anything anymore and everyone is a victim.

 

[lurch70]

probably the first time in a long time that I am not going out to do it.
completely disillusioned with all the candidates.
