Obama CANNOT LOSE in 2012. Now is when we need PROGRESSIVE ACTIONS.
Granted, the Obama bashers AND the Obama fans are both half right.
Obama has gone back on some things, on others, he has overachieved.
I like him as President. Much better than Clinton, and he (Clinton) practically put money in my pocket!
But it is pretty clear, if Obama loses it will have to involve tampering with the space-time fabric itself.
So...now that he cannot lose, how about some "ponies"? That is, how about supporting Medical Marijuana rights? How about shutting the door on DADT COMPLETELY? How about getting all of our troops home? How about shutting those loss leaders aka US military bases on foreign soil down for good?
This is a mandate. This is "political capital." Not the "man date" that Bush had in 2004, but a REAL mandate. Every true blue patriot (and this includes many Republicans) supports Obama now. Folks who I thought would NEVER EVER support him are. The only folks left are the Birchers, the Klan and the Neo Nazis. **** them. I don't want their vote anyway. They should have removed their flaccid "manhood" from the gene pool centuries ago.

1. If he can't lose, why even go through the formality of an election
Lets just call it and get on with business.

22. Lemme put it this way then, it would be hard for him to lose
Something would have to happen that would remind everyone that Barack Obama was indeed, human.

4. True, but now there is no excuse
And unlike Bush, Obama listens to the voters. Doesn't always agree, but he does listen.

8. OK but also, watch what they teabagger controlled states are going to do to rig the vote. I'm not
talking about so called "conspiracy theories". What I'm referring to is the efforts to keep the poor and students from being able to vote where they might make a difference. Call me paranoid but this is not the moment to get over confident. I believe that these pukes are doing their damnest to sabotage the economy. They don't give a **** what happens to the country.

The voters want high unemployment, high food and high gas prices?
Obama 2012: Our numbers are up across the board!

I can't find a single white voter that will now admit they voted for Obama.....Al Greene and Obama will poll about the same here.
Let 'em call us red and racist, I don't give a damn anymore.
Hope n change you can believe in. :lmao:

Obama administration floats draft plan to tax cars by the mile
By Pete Kasperowicz - 05/05/11 07:45 AM ET
The Obama administration has floated a transportation authorization bill that would require the study and implementation of a plan to tax automobile drivers based on how many miles they drive.
The plan is a part of the administration's Transportation Opportunities Act, an undated draft of which was obtained this week by Transportation Weekly.
The White House, however, said the bill is only an early draft that was not formally circulated within the administration.

What is toking on a doobie (sp?) while listening to Pink Floyd supposed to accomplish?I'll take "What is stupidity, for a thousand", Alex. :whatever:
Yet somehow the smartest president in the universe has managed to totally FU the aftermath of what our armed services have done. Each and everyday I become more convinced that the man is a clinical moron.

15. Power to the People makes the most sense problem-solving-wise.
We're the ones with the problems. We're the ones who should make decisions about how to solve. Unions CARE about their families and their communities; they are an appropriate counter to the political corruption we live with.

30. Gas will go to $8 this Summer
Expect and plan for that. Use public trans if you have to.
But that will not kill Obama. All he has to do is address it and any concerns will be allayed.

Yes, everybody's got a different story, which makes the thing smell funny.
Ballygrl, RE your link from page 1. Cali started a thread, saying the scheme pissed her off. The tax-loving DUmmies shot her down, though. They said "take those dollars and invest in high speed rail!" ::)
It's always the stupid railroad with the libtards. There have been countless articles explaining why it's such a bad idea for this particular country.

Yeah.
My first reaction, when learning of the death of bin Laden, was that the Big Zero got one, and deserved the credit, and there was NO WAY the aftermath could be mishandled.
After all, the Big Zero is not James Carter.
Man, was I wrong.....this thing has degenerated into a farce.
The Big Zero's looking like Carter more and more every day.

I get the feeling some of the dummies would like to see gas that high so we all use public transit.
I think any gas over 6$ in the US would do serious harm to him being re-elected.
