I don't blame him for this mess. Like Bill Mahr said, President Obama is Michael Jordan playing on a crappy team.

[Popular Front]

3. Exactly n/t

[LBJDemocrat]

13. Citigroup checking in. nt

[Popular Front]

15. Citigroup checked in for Bush

Your train left a little late.

[AllentownJake]

21. Bob Rubin is Larry Summers mentor

look up who he is and where his is now. They hedge their bets.

[Popular Front]

27. So the big bankers are behind Obama too?

Not buying it.

[AllentownJake]

29. Go to Open Secrets

Look at the number 2 source of donations and swallow the red pill, or stay in denial and don't go there and take the blue pill.

[Popular Front]

44. Wow.

Just wow.

[Moochy]

48. ambiguous reply

[Popular Front]

52. Just learned something new

That's all.

[timeforpeace]

51. WJW. This is one of the most inadvertently funny threads ever.

[roguevalley]

76. yeah. Goldman Sachs is checking in. Citigroup is chugging on gold

rails to Texas.

[avaistheone1]

113. Citgroup loves Obama better. Just in - Obama returns wet kiss to Citigroup.

Obama’s wet kiss to Citigroup will net Citi billions.

Today's breaking story:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/12/15/AR2009121504534.html?sub=AR





And you wonder why people are disillusioned with Obama and his administration.

[Mz Pip]

5. My feelings exactly.

This isn't about Obama. It's about congress. And right now Congress really sucks IMHO.

[Clio the Leo]

4. Oh, this thread is too cute for me to let it sink.

Here ya go. :kick:

[Popular Front]

7. Thanks Clio!

[rebel with a cause]

26. yes, but the unrecommends are coming in

[IndianaGreen]

11. WellPoint checking in!

:patriot:

[AllentownJake]

12. Wells Fargo here.

[Popular Front]

14. What's your point?

Did Obama not give Wells Fargo what the Republicans would have given them?

[Better Believe It]

18. Bingo! Now add the private insurance industry along with Big Pharma and you win the big jackpot!

[NYC_SKP]

68. You're being a disruptor, IMHO.

Now seriously, the new member posted something positive.

Stand back and look at this thread.

In your heart of hearts, wasn't this just a rude disruption?

Really unnecessary, isn't it?

Is it helpful, or is it just bullying?

Shame on you, you and the rest.

[Better Believe It]

102. You should read posts before responding to them.

The poster wrote: "Did Obama not give Wells Fargo what the Republicans would have given them?"

I expressed my agreement with his comments!

And you called that "bullying"!?!?

Call that "bullying" the poster if you like .... perhaps you don't know the meaning of the word bullying.

[NYC_SKP]

105. It's a positive thread that specifically asks supporters to check in.

You and others came to this thread to have an exchange about how awful the president is.

I find this disrespectful, not just you, all of the "Big Banker checking in" type replies.

I believe yours was "Pfizer checking in", so maybe I should have expressed my disappointment as a reply to that reply.

That is what I meant by bullying, belittling, disrupting what was an innocent thread.

The point is that it seems bad form, I expect it from many but didn't expect it from you.

:donut:

[Better Believe It]

16. Pfizer checking in

[Popular Front]

24. He's doing everything he can

At least he'll get the bill passed.

[roguevalley]

77. prepare to pay 27% of your money in premiums to these fuckers. That

is what you get if he passes this bill.

[Popular Front]

101. Wrong

We will have health care that is state-provided. We won't pay a cent, unless the Republicans and "moderates" have their way.

[That Is Quite Enough]

25. If they hate then let 'em hate. Proud Obamamaniac here.

[VMI Dem]

40. You watch a lot of reality TV, huh?

[IndianaGreen]

38. PhRMA checking in

and thank you for opposing the importation of cheaper drugs from Canada!

:patriot:

On the campaign trail, Barack Obama vowed to take on the drug industry by allowing Americans to import cheaper prescription medicine. "We'll tell the pharmaceutical companies 'thanks, but no, thanks' for the overpriced drugs -- drugs that cost twice as much here as they do in Europe and Canada," he said back then.

On Tuesday, the matter came to the Senate floor -- and President Obama forgot the "no, thanks" part. Siding with the pharmaceutical lobby, the administration successfully fought against the very idea Obama had championed.

"It's got to be a little awkward," said Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.).

It's even more awkward for millions of Americans who are forced to pay up to 10 times the prices Canadians and Europeans pay for identical medication, often produced in the same facilities by the same manufacturers, simply because the U.S. government refuses to rein in drug prices.

50. Sure are a Whole Lot of RUDE DUers checking into this innocent thread. Kinda sickening.

You could have some class and let the positive noob have a break, but no...

Like there aren't any critical of the POTUS threads for you to chime in on???

Really disappointing, people.

Shame on you.

I'm serious.

Welcome to DU, Popular Front!

:thumbsup:

[IndianaGreen]

53. The OP said that we had a social duty to obey the commander in chief

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=433&topic_id=60434&mesg_id=60461

[fishnfla]

60. funny that

dont see the words you are putting in there, social nor obey

[freddie mertz]

100. He says in this thread "we should all stand by our commander-in-chief."

"I salute the President. Through the thick and thin, we're in this together."

That is a pretty militaristic characterization.

The pres is commander in chief of the military, but NOT of civilians.

That is why we get to vote for the office and stuff.

The tone of the OPer is remarkably authoritarian.

[NYC_SKP]

61. No, he Certainly Did Not. He did not use the word, "OBEY"...

Nice try, maybe you misread or read that word into it.

He said, "Amen. We have a civic duty to our commander-in-chief"

That's pretty non-specific, but he might mean to give him the benefit of the doubt or to understand his limitations.

In the context of the main thread, a Civics Lesson, I take it to mean understand his role in the legislative process.

[fishnfla]

63. page right out of the Fox news playbook

this place, we have become our own worst enemy

go ahead make shit up as long as it proves your point

[Popular Front]

62. I did not say that. Please everyone click the link to see what I said

You are not being truthful.

[fishnfla]

64. you will not get a correction nor an apology

nobody admits to being wrong around here

[AllentownJake]

54. Shame on You Barack Obama

Memories :rofl:

[Popular Front]

55. Thanks!

Hope people regain some hope around here. We sure need some.

[LBJDemocrat]

56. Yeah. Poor guy's just naive.

We should be more civil in explaining to him where we're coming from.

[Popular Front]

58. Umm no I'm not n/t

[VMI Dem]

57. This successful defense contractor agrees!

Lay off!

[That Is Quite Enough]

66. Shh. They haven't caught on that their "Big corporate entity checking in" comments aren't that funny

[fishnfla]

67. Lynndie England checking in!!!!!

:crazy: :woohoo:

[jefferson_dem]

59. Yes.

Shame there has to be such a thread on Democratic Underground. This place has gone to pot.

Posters with legit concerns have become indistinguishable from obvious trolls. Ack.

[saltpoint]

65. I had to check to see if this post was done in sarcasm and was

delighted to see it was not.

Thank you.

I'm in. The man has my vote for re-election.

[timeforpeace]

72. Have Reservation, Will Check In

[saltpoint]

73. Here's a kick to express praise and support for the President

-- and on the Democratic Underground web tubes, no less.

And folks, here's one big WHOA for being able to say something good and positive about Obama.

[donheld]

74. I'm kinda thinking The President has forgotten his base.

He ditched them what brung him

[goodgd_yall]

75. United Health Care here

[Popular Front]

84. Bump for Obama!

[NYC_SKP]

107. Hey, P.F.:

What do you make of this thread?

I just want to say, in case you aren't already aware, that a select few members are being allowed to disrupt, gang up really, and be bullies.

Hope you don't let it get you down!

:toast:

[Popular Front]

109. It comes with the territory. As long as we respect our President, I'm happy n/t

116. double post n/t

[TankLV]

85. Count Me OUT. Say hello to the ONE TERMER!!!

Utter FAILURE...

NOT the change we voted for at all!!!

[treestar]

86. Interesting presumption

All large companies are presumed to be not just businesses, but crooks trying to screw the people over.

They are treated almost as the right treats Muslims.

Yet it would be as if a lot of the population were giving aid to terrorist organizations by patronizing or working for these companies.

How large does a company have to be before it falls into this category? I once worked for a "corporation" that had 10 employees. is that small enough so that I or the owners weren't evil?

I once worked for an insurance company, actually trying not to pay out certain types of claims (not all tort plaintiffs were thought to have a slam dunk case or to be just paid what they demanded, in case liability for the accident might not be the fault of the insured, or the claimed injuries were not due to the accident or not as bad as claimed). So am I evil?

[azmouse]

87. I support our President.

[Cha]

88. He needs it..lots of shit flying around today.

The haters are coming out of the woodwork en masse..they definetly think they smell Obama's blood in the water now. Poor little things..they got nothin'.

Greenwald is up to his usual demagoguery and it's "reported that the White House is furious at Dean"..who needs reality when we got morning joe?

Yeah, lots of jerking off but my money is on the President.

[NYC_SKP]

106. Hey!

Isn't it interesting the way this new positive poster is being gang-bullied?

It's a mob mentality and it's really disgusting.

:mad:

O.T: I don't get MSNBC with the new Dish Network package I got and my blood pressure is down 30 points.

92. No. Thanks for making sure we CAN keep ripping people off.

[Popular Front]

94. That explains why Pharma is trying to kill the bill n/t

[freddie mertz]

95. "Popular Front"? Interesting name choice for a big industry apologist.

Actually, Pharma has not been fighting all that hard against the legislation, and as you know, they had a big victory on importation yesterday.

[Popular Front]

[treestar]

115. You should never give money to any campaign

If your purpose is more than to help elect the person. Nobody is going to be good enough for you, the higher the office, the more that will be true.

[Popular Front]

117. I think Obama deserves it though
