Should we establish a default response now?

For all the Obama supporters that will inevitably start complaining over the upcoming years?

There's going to be a lot of it, and perhaps we can all save everyone some time by preparing in advance...

    Then lots of robotic laughter.

    i think some of you need to clean your screens, or at least find some new erection material. i mean seriously, how many loads can you blow in one day.

    oh yeah. i better not forget the wink. i mean that's how it works around here right. you can say what you like, and make useless threads, and try your very hardest to bait obama supporters, just as long as you don't forget the little winky eye at the end it.

    so here you go.

    Actually I'm being serious...

    It's going to get near unbearable, and I like to plan ahead early.

    Let me know how off base I am 1 year from now.

    Obama will get shot before anything changes... Besides that I don't think he even has the disposition to pull it off. It's a money game, and he likes counting it more than anything.

    Because to change anything significantly means less profit for those making it hand over fist in suspicious and/or illegal ways. He'll be pissing off the very people that do illegal or barely legal things for a living. The political system has been infiltrated by it. When push comes to shove....

    Obama has had Secret Service agents surrounding him since May 3, the earliest a candidate has ever been provided protection. Neither Bobby Kennedy nor Martin Luther King had Secret Service protection.

    The security among our presidents is almost unimpenetrable and to pull of an assassination would almost have to be an inside job. Every president has had attempts of assassination that were foiled in the early stages due to technological advances over the past 25 years.

    He really does scare those people that aren't believers in him doesn't he?
    It doesn't take a genius to know there would be those who would wish Obama dead should he become the US president, but what is it about him that makes him more of a target than anyone else???

    His color??????, his message of hope, his message of change????????

    Wake up and smell the roses people. Without any of that we are fucked. The thought that he may be assasinated because HE IS making things better for us makes me physically ill.

    If threats come they will come from within and all the security in the world won't matter. the CIA has complete disconnects within itself as an organization. This is part of their charm, and efficiency in some regards.

    It has nothing to do with Obama as a person, and everything to do with his policies.

    His policies are really vague....one could argue have little, if anything, to do with change. If everyone just played along we would all get screwed over in no time at all, Opposing the current path using a more direct approach (perhaps like Ron Paul, Kucinich or similar) for example is very much a requirement.

    Unfortunately most Obama fans got sold on charm over content. In fact I think all of them got charmed in comparison to all the other politicians (on their "team" or "side"). This is why (by and large) they are Obama fans. If Kucinich was more charming....it would be Kucinich....and so on....to that effect.

    which ties into my denial poll.

    jus how I see it...

    So in your opinion, if he really IS the same as what we just have now, why is he more likely to be assasinated then.

    His campaign premise was originally change (perhaps it still is?) so taking him at his word he plans on making some really big changes. The problem is that it's such a gradual approach it literally ensures that pretty much everything will remain the same, so the net result is little change is ever accomplished.

    Somewhat more of a revolutionary type approach is needed to afford the change he speaks of. So he's either going to get himself in a lot of trouble, or he'll just settle into the big chair and play along like the rest.

    If he gets assasinated, there will be chaos in the United States. If any evidence surfaces that anyone in the current government was in any way responible for it, you'd have riots in every major city in the country.

    Its people like you who are exactly the reason democracy is so flawed right now, and its people like Obama who give democracy some hope. Its people like you who bitch and complain about how all politicians are liars, but let me ask you something, and this is a serious question, have you ever voted? Have you ever actually tried to fight for a cause, at least try to do your little part to help change the system?

    Do you just sit back and be angry and think everyone who, in your mind, embodies something you dont agree with, will be killed. Or does this just apply to Obama?

    Democracy, inheritly, is not a flawed system. Democracy gives everyone an equal voice. Instead of being so damn bitter towards politicians, why not be bitter towards your fellow citizens who elected them, or your fellow citizens who did not participate and allowed them to be elected. Do you you fall into one of these catagories?

    Obama embodies the renewment of what democracy is. Obama has inspired millions of normally disenchanted people to stop bitching and whining about how bad the sytem is and actually get out and try to do something about it.

    THAT'S What scares people.

    You know what's really fucked up Roland? If anything does happen to Obama, and i so pray that it doesn't, the haters will be more worried about whether or not Obama has the American Flag on his coffin,, than the fact that he has been murdered. Because, like, you know, the man doesn't even salute the American flag :rolleyes:. That's how stupid people are.

    I've been thinking about this quote a lot lately. Remember in Batman Begins when Alfred says to Bruce, 'Why do we fall down Sir?, then he says 'So we can learn to pick ourselves back up'. Why is it, everytime someone tries to pick themselves up, there's always someone waiting to knock you the fuck down again.

    All i hear is that obama is not the right choice. He is the same as what we have now. Nothing will change. So for any of you crazies out there that feel like that, and hope harm does come to him, why don't you just leave him the fuck alone. He can't be any worse than what we already have now can he.

    Just lots of people here that think pointing out a problem is the equivalent of solving a problem...it's a bit more difficult than that.

    I am glad you are on my side.
    Actually I dont like either candidate, but I really don't want Obama in office.

    Keep it up my man!

  • Just lots of people here that think pointing out a problem is the equivalent of solving a problem...it's a bit more difficult than that.


    and identifying that there is a problem in the first place is pretty key as well, I think this this still eludes some, and to varying degrees.

    A solution (usually) quickly follows once a problem has been properly identified. If nobody knows what the problem is, or where it's really originating from (and why)...it's a write off...

    don't you find?

    I will only offer you a polite thankyou for this (sans camaraderie) you so as not to offend the supporters any further.

    Is that how you see this? A debate that has turned into the assasination of obama as roland letting me have it?

    I'll leave you good people to your business i think.

    So far this is the best suggestion.

    I'm open to change (there's that word again) for the consolation phrase, but I would like to keep the robotic laughter if at all possible.

    I think it's adds somewhat of a progressive-techo light hearted ambiance...

    The default response will likely mirror what the Bush apologists are saying now.

    Stuff like, "Congress approved it...", etc.

    ...are those who've helped us.

    So, you "don't know enough about politics" but you know enough that Roalnd is "are on my side"...interesting.

    This is exactly what I'm talking about.

    Guess what, nobody's perfect. The amount of energy spent trying to tear Obama down here is very interesting to me. It also reminds me of why Democrats have a difficult time winning the White House as of late. For a group of people so hard on GW for his inability to compromise, etc, they sure suffer from the same disease.
