Scariest Obama statement?

Outofbreath,

I am not a "paranoid republican". I vote for candidates of many different parties. Maybe the biggest reason that Obama has a chance to do the things he is proposing is that the republicans in this country have been moving to the left for the past 2 decades. That's why 40% of Americans self-identify as conservatives, yet only about 28% identify as Republicans...see the gap there?

And as far as "scary", many of Obama's statements are scary in the sense that it's hard to believe an Ivy-league educated person could actually believe this stuff. I'm not afraid of some street thug from Chicago who lied and cheated his way in to the White House.

The Republicans are leaning left... Holy shit, what is right then?

And at least the 'street thug' (I find that disgusting, by the way) got in on his own, without the help of Daddy.

That's the point, there is no party that represents me. The Republican position on most spending issues for the past 2 decades has been to chop off about 10-20% of what the Democrats want to spend and call it fiscal responsibility.

As far as the "street thug", would street "agitator" be more accurate? He was a "community organizer". What do you think that means in Chicago, the most corrupt city in the most corrupt state in our country. 3 governors of Illinois have gone to jail in the past 35 years, and Blago is about to make it 4.

There's a difference between "scary" and "statements I dont agree with". He's had heaps of statements I dont agree with either, but hardly any "scary" ones. I'd reserve "scary" for promoting stuff that messes with people's private lives (No, some extra tax dollars doesn't qualify), war-mongering, demonizing other peoples and so on.

And republicans leaning LEFT? That must be in the sense 1 degree leftwards of global extreme right. I suppose that could be interpreted as leaning more leftwards, but that says more of the starting point really. That they also approve bailouts and such is because they also have an interest in maintaining the current market economy, and that's what it took at this point to do that. Put out the fire first, worry about water damages second, you know. But they threw a couple of nice fits first just so they can look all constitutional and upright before they get their hands dirty in approving what must be done.

I can't understand why people are calling republicans paranoid. Every time somebody posts something that is critical of Obama, they are either paranoid or manipulative. Many people in his own party, supporters of his campaign, are dissappointed in his job thus far. It's time to do the work, any of the work he promised. The campaign is over. This country is falling apart and Obama has a lot to get done. I am not impressed. Call me paranoid if you want. I call it healthy skepticism. We need much more of it, especially now. And to the person who wants some of the wealth directed their way, go get it yourself. I hope more people who are independent thinkers chime in on these issues.

You aren't paranoid...or manipulative...it's quite obvious that if you are not impressed with Obama that you are certainly racist.

You do realize I was joking...I was surprised someone else that means it didn't say it first though.

That's funny....I was kind of wondering if it was said with sarcasm.....sorry.

no. the progressives are saying fuck bipartisanship. they are saying obama wasted too much time trying to reach out and play nice with the gop, even though they knew that the gop was never going to go along with anything the dems want to do. look how "bipartisanship" burned obama this time.

You got it wrong bro. You're not getting it. Obama is failing because he thought he could pass anything with his 60 senators. He didn't play nice, if he had he would have gotten some of the other senators to agree with him. He ignored everybody. He's done...finito. His arogance ruined what could have been a historic presidency. He had almost 70% of the people pulling for him and he blew it. There were so many things that everybody agreed on but he went for his super duper left agenda instead. Health care is over and it's all Obama's fault. He's weak.

super duper left agenda? wouldn't that be universal care? You won't even find Obama demanding a public insurance option so how does your statement make sense? Or are you just vomiting it out there like Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh for people to step in?

you assume wrong.

and it's probably not a good idea to tell people to fuck off just because you don't agree with them.

take offense to my statement all you like, but just so we are clear, are you suggesting that your health system works well? seriously?
