America - He's Your President for Goodness Sake!
There was a time not so long ago when Americans, regardless of their political stripes, rallied round their president. Once elected, the man who won the White House was no longer viewed as a republican or democrat, but the President of the United States. The oath of office was taken, the wagons were circled around the country’s borders and it was America versus the rest of the world with the president of all the people at the helm.
Suddenly President Barack Obama, with the potential to become an exceptional president has become the glaring exception to that unwritten, patriotic rule.
Four days before President Obama’s inauguration, before he officially took charge of the American government, Rush Limbaugh boasted publicly that he hoped the president would fail. Of course, when the president fails the country flounders. Wishing harm upon your country in order to further your own narrow political views is selfish, sinister and a tad treasonous as well.
Subsequently, during his State of the Union address, which is pretty much a pep rally for America, an unknown congressional representative from South Carolina, later identified as Joe Wilson, stopped the show when he called the President of the United States a liar. The president showed great restraint in ignoring this unprecedented insult and carried on with his speech. Speaker Nancy Pelosi was so stunned by the slur, she forgot to jump to her feet while clapping wildly, 30 or 40 times after that.
Last spring, President Obama took his wife Michelle to see a play in New York City and republicans attacked him over the cost of security for the excursion. The president can’t take his wife out to dinner and a show without being scrutinized by the political opposition? As history has proven a president in a theatre without adequate security is a tragically bad idea.
Remember: “Apart from that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?â€

They gave him a hard time from day one. No other President got that treatment at a SOTU address.

Another failed student of history, and a painfully stupid one at that.
I wonder if Ann Landers can sue this idiot for defamation of character.
-
OMG! the hypocrisy!
-
They forget, "Not my president" and "We're sorry world"...just to mention a couple of their stunts.
Oh and BTW, he has failed and he did lie. He was lying at the moment he was called a lie.
-
see pot does affect memory just 2 short years ago these people referred to our president as "Chimpy" amongst other not so clever terms.
For 8 years they openly said they wanted him to fail. Now they say wishing the President fails is treason.
Unlike you DUmpmonkeys who started bitching about Bush before he was sworn in, I gave Barry a chance before I started to complain. I at least waited to see what he was going to do. And brother, he gave me tons of stuff to complain about.
-
When the president of the USA calls me an enemy, he is not my president.
The man knows nothing but division and thuggery. It is what makes a good community orgainz...extortionist.
The problem is that the left really hates it when the other side lives by the same rules as they do.

DearAbby
Of course, when the president fails the country flounders.
Not necessarily. In the case of Dear Leader, the closer he comes to not having his agenda carried out, the better off the country will be.
Wishing harm upon your country in order to further your own narrow political views is selfish, sinister and a tad treasonous as well.
If you're crazy enough to believe that opposing the prez based upon your own narrow, selfish, and sinister political views equals wishing harm upon the country and is therefore tresonous, why did you oppose Bush for the past 8 years, hypocrite?

hate President Obama like some Americans do. Maybe people will stop and think before they speak out with the constant criticisms. It's not at all hidden anymore, look at the AP and the crap they publish. I guess the more the naysayers piss and moan, the more acceptable it is for the next one to out do the last. It's a real shame that this President is treated like dirt.

600 SECURITY AGENTS FORM 'PROTECTION RING' AT HOTEL...

This is what happens when you seal yourself in an echo chamber and your "news media" consists of a dozen stoned basement-bloggers. I guess those 600 security agents are there to keep the paparazzi away.

Hmmm.... I guess they forgot about the selection of Herr Chimperor, Chimpy McBushhitler Bunnypants.

Somebody explain to me again how that whole apostate thing goes with the Muzzies? 600 security? Say wasn't that the number of "The Light Brigade" or 300 more than the number of Spatans who defended Thermopylae. Sure sounds like Obie is loved world over. :fuelfire:

Silly me, I didn't think we had borders anymore. Be that as it may, I was stunned at the seething rage, hatred, and hyperbole directed at President.
Suddenly President Barack Obama, with the potential to become an exceptional president has become the glaring exception to that unwritten, patriotic rule.
A person's (or president's) exceptionalness isn't determined by criticism or praise but by actions.
Four days before President Obama’s inauguration, before he officially took charge of the American government, Rush Limbaugh boasted publicly that he hoped the president would fail. Of course, when the president fails the country flounders. Wishing harm upon your country in order to further your own narrow political views is selfish, sinister and a tad treasonous as well.
Irony, thy name is DUmmie. President Bush got much worse from the left. The left puts a Hitler mustache on Bush, it's patriotic. A conservative puts one on Obama (after all Hitler WAS a socialist) and it's racist. Evidently the first African American (well, actually a halfrican American) isn't supposed to garner the same kind of criticism as every other president. If he can't take the heat and all that. And here I thought dissent was the highest form of patriotism. But maybe that's only when you're throwing fake medals over a fence.
Besides, for a group of people who pride themselves nuance you certainly have a hard time understanding it. Rush wants Obama to fail because he wants his policies to fail.

A State of the Union address is NOT a pep rally. It's more like a CEO report to the board of directors and stock holders. If it was supposed to get the kiddies hyped up before the big game Friday night, Obama failed miserably. Never in my life have I seen president so petulant, immature, self-absorbed, and arrogant. His speech was an exercise in calling out those he considers enemies (basically anyone who disagrees with him) which sullied the dignity of the occasion. And Joe Wilson wasn't the worst by far. I couldn't believe he actually called out the Supreme Court (not very peppy), a coequal branch of government who

To fail? They wanted him to die.
Unlike you DUmpmonkeys who started bitching about Bush before he was sworn in, I gave Barry a chance before I started to complain. I at least waited to see what he was going to do. And brother, he gave me tons of stuff to complain about.
Which took all of about 3 days before he started screwing the pooch.
-
I can't say I 'Hoped' he would fail. 'Knew' might be a bit strong, but 'Totally expected' is probably about right.

You see Abby, I would normally agree with you on these points.
But, when you have an imposter in the White House that does the EXACT OPPOSITE of what should be done for America's best interest, I have no respect for that man at all. I refuse to recognize him as my president. He's done nothing good for this Country.

Speak for yourself jackass.
Conservatives here have a similar opinion of Obama to conservatives in the USA.
I suspect the same would be said of conservatives all over the globe.

Obama is breathtakingly stupid. He has to be the dumbest man to ever hold that office.

No offense Duke. I think he knows EXACTLY what he is doing. Unfortunately. :argh:

Funny, I haven't run into any t-shirts of Obama with the caption, "Not My President."
Hypocrites.

Commentators are always falling all over themselves to declare what a sooper genius he is. There is virtually no evidence to support any such idea, and the enforced thundering silence concerning his actual academic achievement record and output if anything tends to indicate exactly the opposite. He is great at delivering a script, I see a great future for him doing voice-over work like narration for documentaries.

I agree with you. H5 given.

DAT, I'm also tired of commentators falling all over themselves to say what a personally likable guy he is. So personable, people love him as a person. (Brit Hume said this a few nights ago.)
No they don't. He's not likable at all. He's a cold, calculating, selfish, narcissistic, egomaniacal, pompous, arrogant, snobbish prick.
