Reddy Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 09:56 AM) That's no excuse. Ever since he announced that he was running for President he should have been working 24/7, 365 on making America better. No exceptions. guys i'm definitely not a "see the world in black+white" kind of person, I just get a little turned off when I see Obama milking his celebrity. Nobody else feels the same way?

Texsox Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 QUOTE (Reddy @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 09:57 AM) i guess if the only way to get people to follow you is by telling George Lopez to change late night, because "that's the kind of change he can believe in"... then the state of our population is in a sad place. No, seriously, trying to connect with young people, in a manner that appeals to them, is so stupid. He should have been paying more attention to McCain's campaign.

ThunderBolt Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 QUOTE (Tex @ Oct 9, 2009 -> 10:49 AM) I guess I missed the part where only his work while President was considered.

But you won, you're president, how bout you give it a rest. I guess seeing himself on CSPAN and CNN and MSNBC and FOX just wasn't enough, so bring on Comedy Central! And yes, you're gonna say he's just keeping support of that young base, trying not to forget about them, blah blah, but young people are stupid and can be won over extremely easily. They'll vote for him again no matter what he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuskyCaucasian Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 DAMN!!! DNC Goes Nuclear on the Republican Party- "The Republican Party has thrown in its lot with the terrorists -- the Taliban and Hamas this morning -- in criticizing the President for receiving the Nobel Peace prize," wrote DNC Communications Director Brad Woodhouse. "Republicans cheered when America failed to land the Olympics and now they are criticizing the President of the United States for receiving the Nobel Peace prize -- an award he did not seek but that is nonetheless an honor in which every American can take great pride -- unless of course you are the Republican Party. The 2009 version of the Republican Party has no boundaries, has no shame and has proved that they will put politics above patriotism at every turn. It's no wonder only 20 percent of Americans admit to being Republicans anymore - it's an embarrassing label to claim." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostfan Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 When did the Democratic Party get balls? The last week has been bizarre. Usually what happens is the Republicans say something like that and the Democrats cry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 The idea that Obama deserves this award is beyond silly. The idea that it somehow hurts his world image is equally silly. The vitriol being sprayed, already, by some on the right (broader group, not here), is on the same scale of silliness. There's a whole lot of silly going on today.
