President Obama has become an insufferable bore

[keep_it_real]

President Obama, for whom I voted because I believed he was the best choice available, is a profound disappointment. I now regard his campaign as a sly bait-and-switch operation, promising one thing and delivering another. Shame on me.

Equally surprising, he has become an insufferable bore. The grace notes and charm have vanished, with peevishness and petty spite his default emotions. His rhetorical gifts now serve his loathsome habit of fear-mongering.

"Time is running out," he says, over and again. He said it on health care, on the stimulus, in Copenhagen, on Iran.

1. Oh from the New York Post!

Because they're fair and balanced like Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck!

Presiden Obama as a man kicks ass. President Obama as leader of the free world, has mostly kicked ass.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

4. LOL, it's ridiculous! From the OP "UNIONS FEED AS CITY BLEEDS!"

Classy!

[LastNaturalist]

8. I'm dying to know what the Washington Times and Boston Herald have to say!!

:crazy:
:crazy:
:crazy:

[SemiCharmedQuark]

2. Wow. The NY Post. I wonder how many people will actually read the OPED you linked instead of just

assuming they agree with it.

[phleshdef]

3. This post quickly became an "insufferable bore".

[buff2]

5. This thread is a waste of time

Why did you think you had to post this garbage HERE???It belongs over at freeptard land.

[suzie]

7. Word.

[HopeOverFear]

6. New York Post, the new hero of DU!

:sarcasm: (but not really)

[polpilot]

9. Holding Obama accountable?? How unfair can you be!! Insufferable bore?

'Sufferable' bore..for some.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

12. Yeah. This article, from a guy who regularly calls Obama "Bam", is about holding Obama accountable

:eyes:
Did you even read it?

[polpilot]

21. Yes I read it. It basically states the disappointment in Obama as a president with

a democratic majority who can't get ANYTHING WORTHWHILE done. Are you seriously not completely and totally disgusted with his actions?

[SemiCharmedQuark]

23. LOL! That's not what it says at all! It is criticizing him from a RIGHTWING perspective

for trying to push through climate change and healthcare reform (which the author argues is a government takeover). It calls the healthcare debate an argument between "liberals" and "extreme liberals". You think Ben Nelson and Joe Lieberman are liberals?? LOL!

[polpilot]

26. He's pushing through 'healthcare reform'?? I better call Dean now!!!

[SemiCharmedQuark]

27. That's what the author is complaining about. The author that you were agreeing with.

He goes on to make a bunch of points that are news to me:
Unions are controlling congress
Obama was too forceful at Copenhagen
All Democrats are either "liberals" or "extreme liberals"

[Cha]

36. Pres Obama has gotten a lot done but that doesn't matter

from those whose just want to bitch and whine about all the stuff they don't see happening.

The "democratic majority" includes many dinos who don't give a shit about their country but that makes it so easy for the lazy ass reporters to bring up and for so many to join in the bashing who don't want to look below the surface.

10. Please don't forget to update us on Hannity and Limbaugh's take tomorrow.

Thanks.

13. I have my whiteboard already for Master Beck's next conspiracy, that I should done learned about.

:crazy:

[O is 44]

29. Kinda like Thom Hartman saying...

the left should join the racist teabaggers. Funny how the teabaggers only started noticing deficits after Obama was elected. No thanks Thom I do not care to share the stage with anti Semites and confederate flag waivers.

[jefferson_dem]

30. Did Hartman actually promote that? I new Jane Hamsher had.

Wouldn't surprise me if Hartman jumped on the progressive "leftbagger" bandwagon. He's always been a bit too loopy for my tastes.

[O is 44]

31. Yes he did my friend...

He has been repeating this meme on his radio show, actually says we have something in common with them. I guess he just overlooks how disingenuous this whole movement is not to mention how full of hate it is.

[Cha]

35. jane hamsher has reached the zenith

of stupidity with that..can't wait for the march.

[Cha]

33. Oh, I wondered where DUers were getting that from..

From that thom hartman. Yeah, I know you read DU..and fuck that shit you're promoting.

Talk about lemmings.

Have fun with your teabaggers, thom..and the left doesn't like "leftbaggers"..why not?:nopity:

[Ozymanithrax]

11. Did you read the op-ed?

Some Gems...

Yet for all the drama and change, the years only occasionally instilled in me the sensation I feel almost constantly now. I am afraid for my country.

I am afraid -- actually, certain -- we are losing the heart and soul that made America unique in human history. Yes, we have enemies, but the greatest danger comes from within.

Mugabe and Chavez are treated with respect and the United Nations is serious about wanting to regulate our industry and transfer our wealth to kleptocrats and genocidal maniacs.

Sounds like a Teaparty speach...or a Glenn Beck tearfest.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

15. I enjoyed the union bashing and the sabre rattling at Iran

[spoony]

19. Too right.

"Virtually every day brings fresh evidence of how unions and their captive politicians are taking New York down a destructive path."

Geez!

[CJCRANE]

14. Nice post Murdoch.

Bad article.

22. What a tool you are

do you ever think for yourself or just go with whatever way the wind is blowing. I bet you were a bush voter 4 years ago.

[dionysus]

24. have you any sense of decency? the fucking NY Post? what's next, newsmax?

:rofl:

[PopSixSquish]

25. If That is the Way You Feel, Then at Least Have the Intellectural Honesty

to post something in your own words explaining your reasoning rather than cut and paste an OP-ED piece from the New York Post.

I would disagree with you of course, but I would respect your difference of opinion rather than dismiss you...

[opihimoimoi]

28. Ever wonder how Exciting those Republicab Years gave us?? This is NUTZ

[Cha]

32. Au Contraire...but you on the other hand are so

fucking predictable.

[AlinPA]

34. Teabagger rhetoric.

[asphalt.jungle]

37. as long as it's anti-obama, who cares it's from the right or left

these people are on a mission to flood the board with as many anti-obama articles as possible. it doesn't matter if a wingnut or lefty is doing the writing, it's the target of their hate that matters.
