Oh my.

It's got to be answered sooner or later.

What would be your breaking point with President Obama?

What is the ONE thing he could do, or not do, that would make you disgusted to the point of swearing off all support of him?

The one point that would be a deal-breaker for you, all other good things considered, and decide it's time to reform/regroup?

16. Don't you have that backwards?

Don't you mean if he drowned my dog? Strange, disturbing, and backwards insult.

Most of the primitive responses are silly, as usual, but a few of the serious ones:

6. There are many more things that President Obama WILL do that will increase my support for him.

After 8 years of mysery and consistent negativity towards my government,
I'm ready to concentrate on those positive things that are bound to happen under
an Obama administration.....and so, instead of dwelling on the hypothetical negative,
most that he won't do....I'll stick to looking on the upside, based on the things he said
he'd deliver throughout the campaign.

But thank you!

11. Pardoning Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld or Gonzo

The chances of that happening are similar to winning the lottery.

13. Actively STOPPING the investigations into Bushco

And he's coming dangerously close with this "look forward" rhetoric.

17. Thank you for a non-snarky answer.

That's what I was looking for, actual issues.

23. Subsidies For Hedge Funds Are Close

I'm hoping he'll wake up and understand that Summer, Geithner et al are fringe-right Republicans by any reasonable historical standards.

Sorry, I do not feel like this is very progressive.

I think President Obama should meet and listen to Benjamin Netanyahu. If he does not I would be very disappointed.

Oh my.  The habitual primitive might be headed for the mausoleum.

44. Well, legitimate question I suppose. I guess it would be ignoring the Constitution and/or abuse of power from the executive branch.

48. Obama's complete lack of interest in holding the Bush administration accountable 
for its war crimes, and worse, his continuation of so many of Bush's torture/rendition policies, is pushing me very close to the breaking point. Sometimes, I think I've already reached it. Some things are simply non-negotiable to me and I will not try to spin them or rationalize them away as I see so many here doing.

I will not excuse Obama for anything that I would not excuse Bush for doing! And I seem to remember Obama saying that nobody was above the law. Yet his behavior shows exactly the opposite and I find it very, very disturbing.

The fact that a republican president would be infinitely worse is irrelevant. I believe in principles over politician or party. And if any other dem had been elected president other than Obama, I know THEIR feet would be getting held to the fire here for the positions the Obama administration has taken on torture.

52. SOCIAL SECURITY...
 
...is the deal breaker. And not just for Obama, but for the Democratic party as a whole.

Hmmmm.  One suspects the Aw Johnny primitive is close to retirement age.

77. Here are a few:

Rejecting universal, single-payer, not-for-profit health care in favor of pandering to private, for-profit insurance companies.

Squandering any more of the nation's resources on the bogus "war on terror."

Continuing NCLB and high-stakes testing in any form.

Continuing NAFTA/CAFTA.

Continuing the funding of "faith-based" programs with public monies.

Allowing the economic players, their philosophies, their agenda, that got us into the current disaster, to help formulate current economic policy.

Refusal to actively hold the Bush administration accountable for their crimes by prosecuting them.

Near the end of the bonfire, there's an argument between a regular primitive and an 0bamaite primitive.

Silly primitive, that's the purpose of the military. Not the social engineering program of the month.  :loser:

However, if he keeps letting abortion doctors kill human babies, the primitives are fine with that.

I guess what struck me is that they're all over the map on this.  Much like any group of random liberals.  They all have individual pet issues that are often in conflict with each other.

There is absolutely nothing that will make them break with the O.

Look back at how all the feminist groups said nothing or worse attacked billy jeff's rape victims.

There are many one there who are going to be mightly pissed off if Obama doesn't set up full scale Nuremburg war crimes trials for everyone in the Bush Administration.  Also, if he throws a bomb in Afghanistan, they're going to have a hissy. 
This base of his is a bag of hot snakes.  Wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole.

He's been President for 5 weeks or so and they are planning how to ditch him? I thought even the dummies would give him 100 days before they filed for divorce.

I tend to agree.  They've invested too much at this point to ever admit to any mistakes.  This is a certainty with the left; they don't believe they have it in them to make bad choices, but if it ever happens it's never their fault.  To them, less then stellar results are impossible from B. Hussien, but anything that reflects poorly will be because Congress (or whoever) didn't do everything he wanted to do to the letter.

Well I guess you already hate his guts then! Closing GITMO was a Constitutional **** up. I doubt any DUmmy will ever figure that out though!

This thread should be reformatted with little checkboxes by each response, and be made a sticky. Then we can  check them off as Obama bin Bushitler violates them one by one. It will be interesting to see how they weasel out  of their last straw stands. Particularly when he restarts the draft for his wars.
