2. Animal lovers will not like this. My wife (an Obama devotee from day one) is very upset.
Whoever advised Obama to associate himself with Vick should be fired.

4. If you lay down with dogs, you will get fleas...
But if that dog can score touchdowns, who cares? A winner is a winner!
Another thread (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x78186) discusses the White Mosque back peddling.

5. It's a dumb move on the president's part. Everybody loves dogs
And everybody pretty much despises Michael Vick.
I thought Obama had sharper political instincts.[/quote]
That will teach you to try and think. Obama is as sharp as a ball bearing.

7. I think President Obama should let Vick take care of Bo at Vick's home for say six months..
I'm sure Sasha and Malia would be fine with it and it would make a strong statement about the rehabilitation of millionaire sadist sports stars.

13. That's a fricking misleading title. Anyone interested in the real reason Obama called Jeff Lurie?
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/ezra-klein/2010/12/why...
The weirdest story of the morning is President Obama's call to Jeffrey Lurie, the owner of the NFL Eagles. Two things apparently happened during the call: Obama praised the team for giving Michael Vick a second chance, and then he asked some questions about the Eagles' plans to use alternative-energy sources to power the stadium. Now the White House is spinning the call as the sort of everyday inquiry the president makes into eco-friendly architecture. "The president did place a call to Mr. Lurie to discuss plans for the use of alternative energy at Lincoln Financial Field, during which they spoke about that and other issues," Bill Burton told Mike Allen.
:whatever: :whatever: :whatever:

Hey Obozo.
We have an economy in the crapper, high unemployment numbers, 2 wars, and an "uncertain" future and you're calling football owners to congratulate them on picking certain players? HA HA! How communist of you.:argh:

...and sports will be the opiates of the masses.
Just one problem, how do you get the DUmmies off the hard stuff?

Do you recall a single thread over there that didn't degenerate into an instant fight? I sure can't.

30. Stinky doesn't inflame the 'rabble' as you call us, and I take great offense to your comment
EVERYONE deserves a second chance, and if you can't accept that, you aren't on my side of the political fence. And we aren't rabble, maybe you need to look in the mirror.
:lmao:
As for my opinion, whoever does what Vick did is evil through and through, and I don't want anything to do with them.

I'm guessing that would be Obama.

When it comes down to it, 99% of blacks will support blacks no matter what they have done.
BUT DO NOT ever call that racism.

I'm guessing that would be Obama.
And your point is?

Oh yeah they are fine with pedophiles getting a second chance, traitors being called heroes, murderers being poster children, islamofascists killing innocents, but God forbid someone mess with a freaking dog. HYPOCRITES!!!!!!! :bird:

I heard ABC reporting this early this morning.
Shocked the heck out of me. Since when does a president call an NFL coach and commend him for hiring a felon? :???:

Since around 52% of the electorate was too stupid to find its ass even with a flashlight and two hands. That let to the installation of Lord Zer0 as Grand High Poobah of Utter Useless Stupidity.
Given that fact, Deb, it makes perfect sense Zer0 should applaud the hiring of a disgrace to the human race.
Vick should stay behind bars for the rest of his life. And when he goes to hell, I HOPE it's full of pitbulls.

That's just the way things are done in the hood.

It makes sense to me. Vick is the only American who got a new job since Barry took over. So this is an important event.

In the majority of cases "felon"=Democrat constituent.

Do the dogs get a second chance? Oh wait most if not all are dead. Vick himself picked out the dogs, never forget that. He also could have taken time off his sentence had he shown remorse. He did not at the time. This is a man who gave the finger to his home crowd when he was a Falcon.

Ever since an inexperienced, incompetent community organizer started occupying the White Mosque. :-) :fuelfire:
It is pathetic.
