You know what the difference is between the left and you teabagging rightwing wingnuts? The left is consistent in its criticism from president to president (Obama is receiving plenty of flak for his disgraceful record on civil liberties, back pedalling on war crimes investigations and cozying up to the financial elites) while you lemmings are simply content to attack the sitting president and his wife (and children) if he isn't who you wouldn't prefer. Like de facto party leader Rush Limbaugh said, bi-partisanship to you is "my way or the highway" and you'll just never be content, no matter what the president says. This glaring hypocrisy is nowhere demonstrated as well as here when you a mere year ago were seeing "Bush derangement syndrome" everywhere and now this "blog" (having even less original material or analysis than that regurgitation machine Instapundit) is devoted to a neverending girly screaming tantrum at Obama.
No, I'm not upset at the picture. I think Obama is already looking like a failure, though naturally to a smaller degree than his predecessor. And at least he gets his sentences and syntax right.
The fact is that the left IS criticizing Obama for his back-pedalling when the right (along with most of the mainstream, right-leaning Democrats) were in lockstep with Bush's warmongering and trampling of civil liberties.
And as for the cult of personality, the right was completely in awe of Bush and his artificial macho posturing and transparent photo ops. Chris Matthews, who was so excoriated for his "thrill up his leg" had a creepy man-crush on Bush, for instance. The US media will appear "biased" only to people who are so far to the right, they're almost on the left.
Oh yeah....he was real clear when he said there were 57 states and so on. He's oh so smart when TOTUS is with him. Not so much otherwise. The fringe-kook left is who is criticizing him on Iraq and Gitmo and such. The sane Dems are not. Chris Matthews had a man-crush on Bush? Really?
Daily Presidential Tracking Poll - Rasmussen Reports™ Daily Presidential Tracking Poll Friday, March 19, 2010 The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows that 23% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-four percent (44%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -21. That matches the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for this President (see trends). Each time the President leads a big push for his health care plan, his job approval ratings suffer. For Members of Congress, the impact may be more tangible. Just 34% say they’re more likely to vote for someone who supports this legislation. Fifty-percent (50%) are less likely to vote for a Member of Congress who supports the health care reform plan proposed by the President and Congressional Democrats.
First he plays at Rush Limbaugh's wedding and now this. Thumbs up! Elton John, statesman - Bill O'Reilly : Sir Elton John did an extraordinary thing last week. He praised President George W. Bush in an interview with the ABC News/Yahoo! Power Players series, reminding us in the process that there are still statesmen in the world. Cross-ideological kindnesses are so rare these days that John's remarks were downright jolting. 'via Blog this'
Pelosi Tactic for Health-Care Vote Would Raise Legal Questions - Bloomberg.com By Greg Stohr March 18 (Bloomberg) -- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi may be creating new grounds for a court challenge to the proposed U.S. health-care overhaul as she considers using a mechanism that would avoid a vote on the full legislation. Pelosi said this week she might use a parliamentary technique that would “deem” House members to have passed the Senate’s health-care plan by voting for a more politically palatable package of changes. Some legal scholars question whether that approach can be squared with the Constitution and the Supreme Court’s 1998 declaration that the two houses of Congress must approve “precisely the same text” before a bill can become a law. “Any process that does not result in the House taking of yays and nays on statutory text identical to what passed the Senate is constitutionally problematic,” said Jonathan Adler, a professor who runs the Center for Business Law & Regulation ...

ReplyDeleteSo you are upset about the picture I take it?
ReplyDeleteConsistent in criticism? The left? Excuse me while I go vomit...
And to clear up a couple of things...I have never and would never attack his children. His wife is fair game when she inserts herself into policy.
And as for "teabagging", my balls are off-limits...
