I did not mean that you were being ironic. I meant that you tend to roll into this forum writing silly provocative and at times insulting posts which I find ironically amusing.

I have a pretty well developed sense of morbid curiosity. I don't remember having one prior to signing up as a member of this forum and reading your stuff over the course of two years. A big part of why I return to this website is to read your latest outrageous comment.

No obama has made it illegal to protest in his presence.

Now before you liberals roll your eyes and say "it's just Fox News", lets hear from Huffington Post:

H. R. 347 makes protest of any type potentially a federal offense with anywhere from a year to 10 years in federal prison, providing it occurs in the presence of elites brandishing Secret Service protection, or during an officially defined 'National Special Security Event' (NSSE). NSSEs , ( an invention of Bill Clinton) are events which have been deemed worthy of Secret Service protection, which previously received no such treatment. Justified through part of 'Presidential Decision Directive 62 in 1998; Bill Clinton created an additional class of special events explicitly under the authority of the U.S. Secret Service.

It's outrageous, and The Huffington Post is correct to state that Obama's has morphed into a third Bush term (on issues like this). But let's be honest about it: do you think that if Bush was about to sign legislation like this, the Fox News report would even be remotely similar?

Of course not. It would have been touted as crucial to fighting terrorism, sedition, or whatever. There would not have been a peep about civil liberties.

Very late into his second term (like almost the last thing he did) Bush did sign into law a bill that in effect made it illegal to criticize the sitting president.

I wonder how many of Obama's other skeletons in his closet took the pay-off?

?How much money did he offer you??

?One hundred and fifty thousand dollars,? Wright said.

?And one of the first things Barack said was, ?I really wish you wouldn?t do any more public speaking until after the November election.? He knew I had some speaking engagements lined up, and he said, ?I wish you wouldn?t speak. It?s gonna hurt the campaign if you do that.?

?Barack said, ?I?m sorry you don?t see it the way I do. Do you know what your problem is?? And I said, ?No, what?s my problem?? And he said, ?You have to tell the truth.? I said, ?That?s a good problem to have. That?s a good problem for all preachers to have. That?s why I could never be a politician.?

So Obama wasn't just a passive listener in church. Interesting to hear what Obama considers "the truth".

Oh, my god! A politician from one of the two parties of the ruling rich using money to silence someone who might derail their campaigns. I can't imagine any Republicans have ever done this.

Yes, if it's true, it's reprehensible. Reprehensible. But a surprise? No. Uncharacteristic of politics? No. Newsworthy? Maybe a bit.

So far all Romney and other GOP bozos have done is bitch and complain about Obama's handeling of the econmy and so far all they have done is preech and hold up there dusty failed econmic plan that lead us to the econmy tanking under GOP control and the rain of George W Bush
The failed trickle down policies of cutting taxs for the rich cutting captial gains tax and cutting taxs for the multi billion dollar bussiness's and shift all the tax burden on the 99 ppercenters
so far the econmy savior Romney has offered nothing new on how to fix things his announced plans to basicly pick up where W left off
doubling down on the failed policies that kead us in to the worst econmey since the great depression which was caused by the GOP by the way under president Hover and president Coolidge
Wake up America and smell the coffee
Romney is nothing but a bussiness CEO and spoiled rich brat which sounds like another failed president George W Bush
in US history we have so far had only two CEO's as president Hoover and W and both destory our econmy and yet the GOP is givings us another on who what to pick up where W left off and actually put us in to another great depression
