President Obama seems to be reading DU...
 http://www.washingtonpost.com/?wpisrc=newsletter

Obama rejects criticism on health legislation

Exclusive interview | President challenges critics to identify any "gap" between what he campaigned on and what Congress is on the verge of passing.

Scott Wilson | 2:38 p.m. ET

Any DUers want to compile a list?
 



Some great stuff in this one:

Obama broke these 6 health care promises.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph...

From her list
Biggest promise:
Universal Health Care:


1. No Individual Mandate.

2. Complete Transparency

Candidate Obama promised that health care deliberations with Congress and special interests would be transparent to the extreme.

3. Enable the Government to Directly Negotiate Drug Prices

4. Allow Drug Importation

5. Lower Premiums by $2,500 for a Family of Four


And I'm sure SOMEWHERE Candidate Obama promised to fight for a woman's right to choice and there is that sucky abortion addition separate clause that planned parenthood is pointing out...

Oh yeah, this was what I was looking for:


"Any plan I sign must include an insurance exchange: a one-stop shopping marketplace where you can compare the benefits, cost and track records of a variety of plans - including a public option to increase competition and keep insurance companies honest - and choose what's best for your family." President Barack Obama

3. This is a good sign...sorta...I guess...maybe...
 One of the most infuriating things about this whole mess has been how progressives have been totally ignored when not outright derided as lunatic/hysterical. He makes it sound as if the only real objection to the bill is how it will affect the budget. Maybe he's noticed now that we realize we're being screwed even if he's not going to do a thing to try to screw us any less.

17. This place is becoming a Free Republic mirror site
 

Du fantasy that BO lurks on Du = Freeper fantasy that OB lurks on FR

Progressive Base will take revenge on Corporatists = Freeper Base will take revenge on RINOs

DU "Kill the Bill" = FReeper "Kill the Bill"

DU "Obama is a traiter to the Left" = FReeper "Obama is a Muslim Marxist"

DU "Obama is a tool of RW Corporate Elite" = FReeper "Obama is a tool of the Marxist/Alinski elitists"

DU "Obama is ignoring the poor" = Freeper "Obama is out to distroy the rich"

I could go on but you get the idea

DU is fast becoming a Whine and Cheese party for disaffected romantic anti-capitalists

19. No I'm talking about so called Progressives and their fantasy about being
 

the soul and conscience of the Democratic Party

They are like Freepers, naive, unschooled and
self righteous. Anyone that thinks Obama has
betrayed their cause is simple minded and will,
like FReepers spend all their energy trying to
question Obama's accomplishments. And make no
mistake the HCR bill, as imperfect as it is,
represents a major accomplishment of long term
historical consequences.

22. Niiiiice. Is this _all_ progressives, or only some?
 Could you give us a list of these evil, evil progressive positions and contrast them with the published Democratic Party platform from 2008?
 




Walldooode nails it:  Obama is Muslim Nazi Socialist... :lmao:

If O or his minions ever read DU it is to learn what they need to publically disavow while working behind the scenes to enact.

If anyone of any importance reads Little Goon Island, it's for the same reason I read it.  To laugh at the unintentional and undiagnosed insanity.

Little Goons listen up!  You aren't on anyone's radar except we who choose to be amused.  On the list of Important Website, your Little Goon Island (aka DU) is right after HowToMakeIce.com.  Believe me, nobody cares.

To actually believe liberal complaints are legit and to dismiss conservative complaints as being illegit is the height of  :mental: .  The dimwit's not any brighter than when he was slapped around by all of us at the old site.

Now you've gone and given away the secret!  They'll know how to make ice! ::)

They may know how but they will never have the motivation to do it for themselves.

So the big ZERO reads the DUmp, huh? I wondered where he accumulated so much stupid from.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin
