Our Military Has Obama Figured Out

[Disgustipated]

It comes from the Military Times, you brainless gimp. You're dumber than a tub full of assholes.

You lost. You Always lose

Someone inform vette that this isn't Venezuela or Egypt, where their respective military dictates who can and can't be a leader.

They got the idea America wants female Marxists with fat asses.

You need some fat asses in your life, you poor sex deprived thing, you.

I'll tell you what you need: some sweet caramel pussy in your life. Maybe I'll sacrifice myself to you. *rubs your weak old knees*

The black gal next door has been trying to get in my pants for a while, and her ass is wide enough. Her husband is about the size of Brer Bear but doesn't seem to mind her flirting with me. He laughs when she does it.

I imagine youre not used to men who know what to do with pussy. Them boys you know are all motion and sweat with no action. Old men like me rollup our sleeves, spit on our hands and get to work plowing.

That's if you can get it up and keep it up.

Of course you're obviously unable to read, as well as have me completely and utterly confused with someone else.


I haven't a racist bone in my body.. and three bi-racial nephews that I love. So I don't know where you got your info, but it's ridiculous.

From your Post 18, which I cited.

I have never kept track, but I believe the usual suspects castigated W just as much as I and some others castigate The Big O.

The major difference being that W earned the animosity by actions taken after he assumed office. The incessant castigation of President Obama by the right began before he'd even actually won the primaries.

No one had any false expectations from him from the left did they?

Nobel "peace" prize before he had been in charge of anything, ever?

The expectations of those on the left do not explain the absolute disdain the right has displayed toward the President since before he was ever elected, as you put it "Before he had been in charge of anything, ever" where the country is concerned. Nor does it explain the fact that the Congressional GOP has done absolutely everything in it's power to obstruct and drag it's feet on every issue brought before them. Even those issues which they themselves brought to the fore, then suddenly turned against wholeheartedly once the President voiced his support. The GOP hasn't been interested in actually doing what's best for anyone except the GOP for as long as I can remember.

Last I checked, the Nobel isn't granted by the will of the American people left or right. Take it up with the Norwegian Nobel Committee.

"Explain" politics everywhere since all time.

"Explain" why an Irishman named Tip O'Neil worked so hard to block a man named Reagan. Wrong heritage?

"As long as you can remember" is obviously 2008.

When history remarks on the fact that the only notable quality that he brought to the white house was the "historic" nature of his skin color and that that was used as a refuge against all criticism of his ineptitude, there will be no one saying he was a brilliant politician, a great consensus builder, knowledgeable about the legislative and budgetary process. It will simply say, "The first black president."

The left elected him. It is not the right's job to prop him up, hold his hand, do his bidding, and make him look good. The left had two years to do something meaningful. Instead the squandered it on a huge catch-all bill of political payback written mostly by insurance companies and big pharma. That is the legacy of the left squandering the advantage to put anyone they wanted in the white house in an "anyone but bush" year.

Your best choices were someone that had a child with a former president, or someone that got through life, passed along to higher perches based on nothing more than his being historic in each place he went.

Go ahead and pretend that you made a brilliant, reasoned choice in a completely untested leader who had never led anything. That if only those meanies had not gone along with his "vision" as written by his speech-writers. Politics ain't beanbag and you brought a petulant five-year-old to the party.

Who fired the first "Elections have consequences, John...and I won." snark? He deserved to eat that impolitic remark, just as the Republican that said their "number one job was to ensure he is a one term president" deserved that backlash.

But some of the resistance comes from those who see his moves to change the military’s culture as “heavy-handed social engineering that erode deep-seated traditions and potentially undermine good order and discipline.”

So basically the same opinions as were held when the military was desegregated.

I see, so intentionally sabotaging everything the President tried to do is justified by one remark? Note that the obstructionism and intentional sabotage are what brought on that remark not the other way 'round as you seem to believe.

Not a single of the member of the "Loyal opposition" (a term that doesn't fit the GOP who have actively tried to sabotage anything resembling cooperation) is expected to prop up anyone. What they are expected to do is to what's best for the country rather than what's best for their party and you can't justify the amount of absolute douche-baggery that has gone on with the Congressional GOP no matter how much you try to twist reality to fit your belief of "what really happened".

The simple fact is that the GOP has been hijacked and driven further to the right day by the day by simple minded Teahadists, Birthers, and Neo-Conservatives to the point where there is no place for moderates within the GOP anymore. So-called "moderates" are forced to vote in favor of extreme measures (take Missouri's new abortion waiting period statute) even though they would rather not for fear of being ostracized by their own party.

The "advantage" President Obama had and squandered during his first two years? Any action to be taken had to be by "supermajority" due to the obstructionist tactics of the GOP during that first two years. A supermajority that the President never actually HAD in the Senate.

As Long as you can remember appears to be breakfast.
Since your memory seems to be suspect, let's review.

President Obama was sworn in on January 20, 2009 with just 58 Senators to support his agenda.

He should have had 59, but Republicans contested Al Franken's election in Minnesota and he didn't get seated for seven months.

The President's cause was helped in April when Pennsylvania's Republican Senator Arlen Specter switched parties.

That gave the President 59 votes -- still a vote shy of the super majority.

But one month later, Democratic Senator Byrd of West Virginia was hospitalized and was basically out of commission.

So while the President's number on paper was 59 Senators -- he was really working with just 58 Senators.

Then in July, Minnesota Senator Al Franken was finally sworn in, giving President Obama the magic 60 -- but only in theory, because Senator Byrd was still out.

In August, Senator Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts died and the number went back down to 59 again until Paul Kirk temporarily filled Kennedy's seat in September.

Any pretense of a supermajority ended on February 4, 2010 when Republican Scott Brown was sworn into the seat Senator Kennedy once held.Do you see a two-year supermajority?

I didn't think so.

So... The entire tenor of their attempts to reach some sort of compromise with the administration is summarized by one remark?

His remark was not only telling it shaped every interaction from his end. It is exactly how he sees his role. The winner take all recpient of the mantle of a mandate. Despite being handed two really sharp mid-term rebukes and almost losing his re-election if it were not for historic turnout amongst segments that traditionally do not bother.

His grip on power is far more tenuous then Clinton's was at its worst and he still refuses to give a solitary inch on any issue.

It is hardly the Republicans fault that you gave them the most intransigent, least politically astute, most unyielding president in recent memory.

Yeah, he would have lost if not for all of those pesky voters.

Their "tenor" was voiced in that one remark, but their actions reinforced it exactly.

When faced with a "loyal opposition" who's stated goal is to make sure that you accomplish nothing and serve one term how else is a President supposed to respond? Capitulation and acquiescence in the face of a vocal minority (then) who is willing to do nothing just to make you and your party members in congress appear as "do nothing"?

Honestly, I can't wait to see the reaction of the right should the Democratic minority in Congress give a little taste of what they had to deal with as the majority party in Congress. I can almost hear the wailing and lamentations when the tables turn and they can't accomplish anything without a supermajority. After all, what's good for the goose.. right?

You say that as if you expect anything less from minority leaders Reid and Pelosi. I don't recall Reid in that position before but no one forgets Pelosi's agreeable nature the last time she was in the minority. I can't imagine Reid being gracious in his fall from grace.

Wagers on if the GOP has a sudden change of heart and wants to redefine the filibuster rules once they're the majority?

It won't take long for them to forget just how vehemently they fought against it when they were the minority.

The military feels the same way about Obama that the NYPD does about de Blasio.

 

[JustaSCOUNDREL]

There is absolutely that undermines "good order and discipline" in the military more than a failure to appreciate who their commander-in-chief is.(snip)

wHAT UTTER BULL SHIT.

Who in the fuck fed you that line of crap? I spent over 24 years on active duty and I'll guarantee you no one gave a one iota about what I thought about anyone who was above me in the chain of command. The only thing important to them was if I obeyed the orders I received.

So while everyone else was swearing to unit, corps, God and country, you just stopped at unit?

IF that's a fact they need to get their shit together but I suspect you're making that up.

I do expect less from Reid and Pelosi. Don't you? They're Democrats and if there is anything elected Democrats do consistently it's fold.
