Faux News trash talking...

[d-ray657]

Unfortunately, I do think that it is a legitimate criticism that Obama has not done away with much of the overreaching legislation and other regulation that originated during the Shrub years. For example, the Patriot Act was reenacted and not vetoed.

Don't recall anyone on the left getting too excited about this:

Author and "truther" Gore Vidal, while on the CNN Headline News Show, “The Joy Behar Show” on October 22 2009 said of President Bush: “But I couldn’t jump into the screen fast enough to kill him off. That’s one murder that I missed not committing.” Behar laughed and said: “Well, it’s too late anyway.”

Don't recall the Washington Post blogging about how inappropriate those comments were. Don't recall anyone here suggesting that Behar and Vidal lived "in a different America.

Tantarro suggested that her listeners punch Obama supporters, Mike. That's what this thread is about.

Obama is also just a scapegoat for the folks who voted in the most lame duck congress ever. I was not a big Obama supporter, I was a bigger Romney anti-supporter.

He has had his failures as much as any president does but the failures of this congress are comical at best and no one says much about them.

Agreed. Except I don't see the house Republicans and Tea Partiers as "lame duck" I see them as deliberately obstructionist. Fight the president, whatever the cost to the nation. If anyone is to blame for the slow recovery, it's them. They don't give a rats ass about this country or its people. They want their fu**ing tax cuts and their kiss ass deregulation. They are completely rotten all the way down to their very core.

And thanks to that lot we are presently circling the bowl.

I call them a lame duck congress Dave because I think many of them are at the end of their careers and some do not even know it yet. Their ineffectiveness of doing nothing but making up scary deadlines, and not passing any law has perhaps made many voters wake up. The mid term elections are going to be interesting and maybe a bigger wake up call for the incumbents.

I hope the wacked "Teabaggers" (their term for themselves, btw) primary every moderate Goper in the midterms. After all, it's worked before in that they became the Rapey Party by their own words.

I would have to go for obstructionist, they are not doing the people's will at all or there never would have been a sequester. Why do we have this tanked economy, pay all this long term unemployment compensation yet do nothing at all about using these people to rebuild our infrastructure?
This is run your country into a ditch stuff in my book and this list goes on and on too.

Could be. I think the comment you made, ".....many of them are at the end of their careers and some do not even know it yet.", is telling. Because a lot of those "many" actually think people love them for their obstruction.

People just want to go back to work and have had enough of the childish games. A friend of mine, who has been laid off twice now since the crash of '08, told me a couple days ago that he just wishes "somebody" would do something other than "...waste more time just trying to get the president."

A sentiment I'm hearing more and more frequently, these days.
