This is maybe the most retarded post I've ever read at the DUmp.

Sean Penn: I Applaud An American President Who's Tough Enough To Smile
Huffington Post

Once again the simple-minded media and its pundits are confused about the nature of Americanism and language. When President Obama today inferred consideration of holding former administration officials accountable to law, he was immediately accused of violating his belief that we should "look forward." Had President Ford "looked forward" in his decision as to whether or not to hold Nixon accountable, he perhaps would have seen the Bush administration abuse of power coming and chosen to be genuinely tough on crime -- you know, "tough on crime" -- sending Nixon to jail and deterring this recent avalanche of abuse.

Further, the criticisms of President Obama's warm greeting toward President Chavez of Venezuela have been the posturing of our nation's most bitter and humanly impotent voices. Why is anyone listening to former Vice President Cheney? He's the one person alive proven wrong on virtually every topic. Then there's Newt Gingrich, who commented on the Chavez greeting as being approached wrong. He suggested that the meeting itself may not be improper, but that it should have been handled with a cold demeanor. This is a pattern of bad acting advice from bad actors. (All wimps think playing a tough guy is done in one-note coldness.) With a friend, or an enemy, our president will gain greater strategic position with a smile.

I know President Chavez well. Whether or not one agrees with all his policies, what is certainly true of Chavez is that he is a warm and friendly man with a robust sense of humor. To treat such a man coldly is akin to spitting on him. As a country we've done enough of that. Say what you will, but it has only resulted in the self-celebration of our smirking spitters, while costing us international respect, American lives, and left wounds in the hands of our children's future. The Cheneys, down to the O'Reillys and Hannitys and Limbaughs, effectively hate the principles upon which we were founded. They are among the greatest cowards in all of American history. I applaud an American President who's tough enough...to smile.


It is sean penn but still,

The dude needs a serious butt kickin.  :hammer:

and the DUmmies respond.

8. A good question.
 I doubt even many Republicans want to hear Cheney. I swear, every time he opens his mouth, another American says, "I'm a Democrat!"

Um correct me if I'm wrong, but President Bush smiled on occasion when in office, even in dark times.  Yet the DUmmies ridiculed him as a smirking chimp.

Smile when you got your ass handed to you? Sean Penn is a douche bag of the highest magnitude.  :hammer:


I still cant believe to this day that the magic negro got elected.  :censored:
"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it."

You can smile at a communist enemy when they know you will rid the world of them if pushed.....otherwise that smile is a signal that you will allow yourself to be butt effed by them.

Chavez is laughing as Communism has vowed the eradication not coexistence with any form of capitalism.

He can`t believe O is really that stupid and naive.

I donno, something about that seems right.
“The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.”

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

I have a pleasant memory of Sean in his boat, a small flat-bottomed fishing boat, loaded up with bodyguards, going out to "save" people. He didn't have room in the d*mn boat, to begin with, and then to see him fishing out the water with that stupid red solo cup, still brings a smile to my face, to this very day. Those gentle and kind people down there, yet he felt he needed a boat load of bodyguards? Hmmm. He is a total useful idiot for the Castro bros and Chavez. Tool. DU hero! And yes, he supposedly did beat Madonna's a$$ while they were married. What a peach.
There is no virtue in compulsory government charity, and there is no virtue in advocating it. A politician who portrays himself as caring and sensitive because he wants to expand the government's charitable programs is merely saying that he is willing to do good with other people's money. Well, who isn't? And a voter who takes pride in supporting such programs is telling us that he will do good with his own money— if a gun is held to his head.
