Fukk your corny debates
That's an insult? Something I admitted on my own? I was extremely naive about his intentions but don't make me bring out the Campaign Obama Videos. You know damn well he lied about significant things.
The thing is you weren't paying attention. Your head was in the clouds and you were gassed up on hope and change rhetoric and thought he was coming to save you.
I never thought hope and change was anything more than a packaged campaign slogan and unlike you, I actually paid attention and I saw a guy proposing centrist traditional Democratic party policies like Kerry and Gore before him. My enthusiasm about him was mostly because he was black, and I'm not ashamed of that in the slightest.
I always said he was the best pragmatic choice.
You were naive because you allowed yourself to get intoxicated by the wave of Obamania that you formed a superhero caricature in his mind that he never was, now that he hasn't turned America into Norway, you're butthurt about it. That's on you, buddy.
You continue to make excuses to support him, while your posting history is quite literally filled with posts throwing dirt on Bush for SAME things Obama is still doing. You just brush it off because you are a partisan.
How much does Media Matters and MoveOn.org pay you to liter this board with their memo points, headlines and videos?
lol...yes, I made a post where I called him a sellout to the military-industrial complex, the big banks, the pharmaceutical and health insurance companies, and a shytty negotiator, but I'm making excuses to support him.
My primary beefs with Bush were the Iraq War and lying his way into it (first and foremost), and his trainwreck of a fiscal policy that left the largest deficit ever. If you want to get into the Patriot Act, wiretapping, and drone strikes, policies that are encroachments on civil liberties that Obama has continued, as I've explained to you a million times before whenever you go on one of these whiny rants, that stuff doesn't bother me nearly as much as economic matters.
I never really cared about that shyt too much, even when Bush was on office. You're a paranoid hardcore civil libertarian, and I respect that, but I'm not you, so don't talk to me like I am.
I don't know if you've noticed this or not, but the country will move more in the direction of a surveillance society/police state regardless of who the President is, and so will the rest of the world. Even if you got some liberal ass politician like Dennis Kucinich in there, he's not going to dismantle the national security apparatus, which is comprised of 1,271 government agencies, 1,931 private companies in over 10,000 locations in America with 854,000 people that hold top-secret security clearances. If you think so, you are even more naive now than you were when you thought Obama was your progressive messiah. If it bothers you that bad, you might as well go ahead and buy that ticket to Norway and live there...that is until it moves in the same direction the U.S. is in regard to its national security apparatus and methods, which it inevitably will.
Your don't see it the way I see it, and that's fine. But quite frankly your constant ventilation of your vagina and your "I want my President to be a progressive waaaaah! " rants every time someone speaks a word about Obama that isn't calling him a piece of shyt, especially in a thread like this which was obviously meant to be facetious, non-threatening, and light-hearted and turning it into a treatise on his policies of his administration is past corny and annoying.
If you're going to have a brain as your avatar, you should probably use the one in your head once in a while. I wasn't "praising" him on his presidential performance and this has nothing to do with policy. I was just saying I like the idea that I have a President that's cool and seems like a regular dude I could talk to.You praising him for a handshake is the equivalent of those idiots 10 years ago saying they would vote for Bush because he "looked like a President they could have a few beers with."
Nothing different.
Regarding people wanting to have a few beers with Bush there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. The key word phrase in your sentence was "THEY WOULD VOTE." Voting for someone because they seem personable is retarded. But I'm not voting for Obama because he gave Kevin Durant a pound. I'm voting for him because he's the better policy man than Romney. If he was some swagless old redneck who had the exact same ideology and record, I would vote for him, I just wouldn't find him as personable.
Regarding the personal likeability factor, I'm not apologizing for the fact that I like that I have a President who has is a biracial black man like me and has experienced things and has an outlook on some matters based on that experience that is similar to mine after 43 cac presidents, sorry.
