Careful... You may be a democrat, but Obama clearly would wish to have a talk with you and straighten your misguided wayward beliefs before you become 'part of the problem'.

Yeah, I guess I am part of the problem, I believe both parties are crap. The Republican party is turning into a pseudo religious cult and the Democrats are a bunch of dithering idiots.
We need a new party.
Tranny lovers unite!

I think I would have to agree with you on that one.

If a TV show were made about Obama, what would it look like? Something that would include these elements:
* Charismatic leader from out of nowhere offering Hope and Change
* Universal Health Care
* The portrayal of the swooning media that Obama wants to control by denying access to critical reporters
* Community organizing
* Supporters who are obsessed and have unquestioning devotion
* Remarks like "Embracing change is never easy"
* Well funded civilian force
* Goal of one-world government
* Laughable attempts at a 'bi-partisan' solution
* And of course the gun-toting religious protesters


ABC actually aired this show last Tuesday, and it was called V. It's a remake of the series V from the 80s where aliens come and want to be friends and offer hope etc. But in reality, they are lizard people from space here to eat us all. All the above points were not just now added to the show to criticize Obama, they were a part of the show in the 80s. And the producers started working on the updated version in 2007. But it just fits Obama so well to the point that liberals are calling the show's criticism of Obama blatantly obvious. Anyone who has seen the show gets the impression that they are deliberately targeting Obama's administration. No wonder BO doesn't want to show his actual birth certificate. He's a lizard man from space here to eat us!

"FRANKEN AMENDMENT BECOMES LAW.... In October, Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) proposed a key amendment to the 2010 Defense Appropriations bill. Yesterday, it was signed into law.

Motivated by the harrowing violence Jamie Leigh Jones suffered in 2005 while working for Halliburton/KBR in Iraq, Franken pushed a measure to withhold defense contracts from companies that "restrict their employees from taking workplace sexual assault, battery and discrimination cases to court." Franken's measure passed, 68 to 30. The 30 opponents -- representing 75% of the entire GOP Senate caucus -- were Republican men.

There were some implantation questions from the Pentagon, but after some additional efforts, and overcoming a Republican filibuster, Franken's measure became law after President Obama signed the Department of Defense Appropriations Act over the weekend.

Digby had a good take on this.

The reason I think it's good news isn't just on the substance (which it certainly is) but on the politics. Franken's amendment is driving the Republicans crazy because they basically voted to protect rapists and are now paying a political price for that. And now they are whining that Franken was somehow "uncollegial" because the amendment put them in an embarrassing position (which makes me wonder how many other things issues are swept under the rug because it would make members of the opposition uncomfortable.)

That's the kind of thing the Democrats should do more of. Expose the Republicans' hypocrisy and cruelty by forcing these issues on to the agenda.

Remember, Republicans can barely contain their outrage over this -- Franken proposed a common-sense measure; it passed easily; and opponents of the amendment have faced some severe criticicism as a result. "The nerve of that guy," conservative senators keep saying.

For his part, this is Franken's first key legislative success. Here's to many more like it."

At least some things are done right.

I honestly hoped Obama would bring about change.. so powerful charismatic and motivating speaker in the campaign. but that seems to be gone.

* Health Care debacle - heard something got passed or almost passed?

* Afghanistan - 30k troops, after winning Nobel Peace Prize, and his explanation speech used identical language to Bush.

* Banks - had a meeting and 3 of the biggest just blew him off, after they were give 750 billion interest free loans which they then lent out on Credit Cards at 30%

I am not an Amrerican but terrifies me. Watching Bush get away with everything he did was sickening but Obama is no different.

JFK and Martin Luther were 2 of the biggest and best promoters of civil rights and transparency of government. They were both assasinated. JFKs brother picked it up and he was assinated. Ever since the President has towed the same corporate & military line.

Obama should have done what whether he promised or not people believed he would..

* Pull out of the unnecessary Wars
* Fix Health Care
* Regulate Wall Street

He should as Cheney did say stuff bi-partisan, this is the change people are screaming for and I am going to do it. Maybe his slow and steady approach might pay off in the long run.. but seeing him holding a useless 1 hour meeting with the banks and even then have 3 of the biggest blow him off I don't hold much 'hope'.

Senate Passes Health Insurance Overhaul

The Senate passed a health insurance overhaul on Thursday morning, 60-39, as both Democrats and Republicans held unified in their positions on the massive bill that mandates coverage for about 9 percent of the U.S. population now without insurance.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009...h-care-reform/

Fuck you Senate. Fuck you very much.
You have violated your oath of office and passed a bill that is unconstitutional. What's more, you haven't represented your constituents. In EVERY poll over the past several months, US citizens DO NOT WANT HEALTH CARE REFORM! I don't need to wait for November 2010 for all you dipshits to be cleared out of congress because all the democrats in the senate should be thrown in jail.

He did say 'stuff bi-partisan'. They voted 60-39 along party lines. Only thing is he went against what the people were screaming for.
