Gawker’s take on Obama’s statement regarding Blagojevich’s arrest:
Hey, Obama press availability time: president-elect Barry Obama is “saddened” by the actions of evil criminal governor Rod Blagojevich, but it’s an “ongoing investigation,” so he won’t comment on it. Where have we heard that line before? Oh, rightâ€â€from the Bush administration, for eight years. Now Barry will just talk about how he met Al Gore, who speaks for the trees. He is actually talking about climate change, and no one is listening. We want to hear about Tony Rezko and Rahm Emanuel and Valerie Jarrett and how they’re tied up in this mess! No questions! Well, one question: “I had no contact with the governor or his office, so I was not aware of what was happening.” Poor Al Gore.
Did’j’all see where BoA caved (sorta) and is going to put up money for Obama’s re-election plans? Or dole out a little to the failed Republic Windows and Doors, whichever comes first.
I can see an O! action alert coming over this…
Boy, are the electronic Brownshirts gonna be busy!
I wonder if their union has an overtime clause..?
I’m saddened that The One is sad. But coincidentally, I also had no contact with the governor or his wife who, evidently, is depriving herself of a decent job in construction or possibly the Navy.
So, who in the Obama team did have contact with Blago, or Blago’s team? Were they aware of the shakedown requests? Who refused the deals? Were any of them lawyers? Did they report the apparent solicitation to commit a felony to Obama or the FBI? Or was this all treated like business as usual.
Obama keeps telling people we can take him at his word. So let’s have that transparency we were promised.
Obama had contact, for one, according to Axelrod.
Now can I say it..?
Chimperor ObaMussoliniBlagojevichRezko!
Wha-Wha-Wha Sdferr?
I guess that
GoebblesAxelrod hasn’t recieved the action alert and talking points yet…Or maybe…
Rove!
Poor ole David A. wasn’t able to project himself into the future in order to avoid making this gaffe by admission. Ach, du lieber!
Yep, he misspoke, or had a faulty recollection of an unfortunate statement.
Yep, I can believe that.
Fitz is about to lose a number of invitations to the A-list Holiday parties.

Dude, what? You think I don’t always read your posts? Think again.
One of the nice things about having the id of the commenter at the head of the post is it makes the scroll-over quicker. Thor immediately comes to mind here.
Whooot!
Just stopping in on my way through. I finally got sick of living like an Obama-ite, and rented a house. My Queen is not happy.

Nice to be here. As soon as I figure out Linksys, I’ll be back with a vengance.

Little ‘skippy’ Daley is nervous. But the bigger question needs to be asked. What other deals did the future resident make with Rezko,Blogo, Daley, et al.?
There’s an iceberg dead ahead.
Rezko to Blagojevich to Obama!
A veritable modern day Evans to Tinker to Chance!
And in Chicago, too.
What did Obama know, and when did he know it?
I remember this as the first sentence from Janet Reno when answering any and every question.
Fixed, Not enough Nixon in it.
The slash through Obama didn’t work right.
PeBHO is the Sgt Schultz of Camp 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. “I hear nothingk. I see nothingk. I know nothingk!”
Seems like the right bought into the story of The One having had a virgin political birth far more than anyone who voted for him did.
All he had to do to please us was crush McCain, which he did.
What must he do for the right so you guys don’t forsake Him?
I’ll bite, Parsnip.
He needs to avoid “even the appearance of impropriety”. He needs to appoint a bi-partisan ‘blue-ribbon’ task force and a grand jury with full subpoena powers to investigate this matter immediately.
He needs to pledge to refrain from any and all legislative action during his adminsitration until this matter is fully explained to the American people and all associated have been prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
He needs to refrain from any judicial appointments until the stain of his corrupt associations are fully brought to light.
Only in this way can we have complete confidence in him. He must do all this to restore America’s reputation at home and abroad. As a someone that believes in clean government, I’m sure you will agree to these reasonable requests.
Can you forsake one you never saked?
I think that’s sook, Ella.
Or it could be a reference to the Japanese practice of getting shit faced on rice wine well prior to impending disaster, no?
So, if Teh Lightworker goes down, how do things play out?
Biden -> Pres, Hillary -> Veep, Biden “gets sick”, Hillary->Pres seems like a likely scenario.
“Biden -> Pres, Hillary -> Veep, Biden “gets sickâ€Â, Hillary->Pres seems like a likely scenario.”
You forgot The Terror after the last part.
“All he had to do to please us was crush McCain, which he did.”
What we have here, Ladies and Gentlemen, is an admission by a typical leftist that they really have no core principles beyond the gaining political power.
If they talk long enough, they eventually start admitting the truth.
GIRD YOUR LOINS!
Tuberhead is all about the money, LC. His vote is for sale to the highest bidder. He hates greed, though, funny how that works.
That’s just silly Log.
How about he just doesn’t pardon the guy until after his trial?
SBP,
If that goes down, then I will have to acknowledge that Billy Jeff will have pulled off a maneuver that would have Shocked!, amazed, and affirmed ol’ Machiavelli…
I mean, to get Hillz in the oval office, an outcome that could have never happened on the merits because of her high negatives…
Why, he would even surpass Rove! in, you know, diabolical brilliance…
And would lead me to reluctantly admit that he is indeed a genius; one that was only taken down by his lusty appetite…
Bubba!
Oh, I don’t think there’s any doubt that Billy Jeff is a genius. Remember, that word can have “evil” in front of it.
I just hope that they keep Biden sedated and don’t let him talk to any foreign governments during whatever brief period he holds the office.

So what is Rush Limbaugh trying to say with the little hairball you coughed up?
“Corruption is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Democrat Party, always has been, always will be.â€Â
Looks like he’s saying the Republicans are owned by the Democrats to me.
That the Republicans were pwned by the Democrats goes without saying.
Oh, sure. That statement he made on live TV? No longer operative.

“Looks like he’s saying the Republicans are owned by the Democrats to me.”
That’s because your reading comprehension is at the same advanced level as yeast.
“That the Republicans were pwned by the Democrats goes without saying.”
Chidiot.
52 / 48 is hardly “pwned” anything.
Especially after spending a gazillion dollars. And having the MSM on your side supressing any negative information. And running against John McCain.
You’re a fucking moron, alfie, always were, always will be, world without end.

Didn’t Rush loose most of his hearing–and thus nearly his career–due to extra-legal OxyContin abuse?
Doesn’t Obama still smoke? Didn’t he do illicit drugs?
“The most cynical behavior in all this, the most appalling is the fact that Governor Blagojevich tried to sell the appointment to the Senate seat vacated by President-Elect Obama. The conduct would make Lincoln roll over in his grave. The governor’s own words describing this Senate seat: Quote, “It’s a bleeping valuable thing. You just don’t give it away for nothing,” close quote. Another quote: “I’ve got this thing, and it’s bleeping golden. I’m just not giving it up for bleeping nothing. I’m not going to do it. I can always use it. I can parachute me there,” quote. Those are his words, not our characterization, other than with regard to the bleep.”

I thought reactionary leftists liked recreational drug use.
I think cause he smoked pot so much is why he can only have daughters now.
I’m sure there’s some way obama did wrong by having blago try to extort something from him. In a world where obama did wrong by challenging primary opponents to follow the law, we’ll get something on him out of this.

N.O.,
I realize Karl Rove has instructed his worshippers to spread the lie that Obama only won “52-48.”
But the truth is Obama won 52.9% to 45.7%.
Rove’s petty lies like this one were always the most embarrassing to real Republicans.
Do keep parroting it.
And how do you account for all the corrupt Republicans, N.O.?
Or are you one of those pathetic faith-based mooks who just ignore facts that run counter to their beliefs?
You guys got pwned.
Accept it.
“I was mistaken when I told an interviewer last month that the President-elect has spoken directly to Governor Blagojevich about the Senate vacancy. They did not then or at any time discuss the subject.â€Â
So is Axelrod ‘mistaken’ now or was he ‘mistaken’ then? Should we just assume everything he or Obama ever says is ‘mistaken’ until events prove otherwise?
Yep, they’re transparent alright.
I’m sure there’s some way obama did wrong by having blago try to extort something from him.
A couple of questions, meya. Blogo and the Big O were well acquainted with one another, what does it say that Blogo considered a deal a serious possibility? And if he approached the Obama team, as it certainly appears he did, who did he talk to and did they report the crime? All Nixon did was cover shit up, remember.
You guys got pwned.
No, the portion of that 52.9% who somehow were fooled into thinking they were not electing a corrupt lying sack of Chicago politics got pwned.

Baracky wants to remake America in his own dirty socialist image, Moe. These are not presidential aspirations what he has it’s just a means to an end I think. He’s a lot enthusiastic about running our little country into the ground and letting tyranny prosper around the world and basically denigrating American values across the board. I think he’s something of a farce myself but for real there’s lots of people that take him seriously still.
that’s Moe G not our B Moe just to be clear what I am responding to
I thought it was Viagra that Rush got busted for trying to smuggle into Puerto Rico.

Bullshit. That what was you were required to believe to serve an agenda.

Come in please.
Over.
The idiots are still trying to make this news go away? Own it, Democrats: you elected a machine pol from the most corrupt machine in the nation.
nope. Baracky and his woman didn’t go to that marxist church to get them some Jesus. They hate hate hate America is why. It’s very sad. I will mostly try to ignore him cause it’s like watching an unusually pompous and remarkably shallow class president from some stupid tiny liberal arts college in Connecticut prance around with an agenda he wants you to sign onto and the more attention you give him the more gay and demandy and dorky he’ll get. Farce. I don’t for sure know what Baracky is but he ain’t no president.
Mostly he’s a marketing gimmick I think if I had to put words to it.
Also I’m not sure who you think serves the GOP but there’s very few of them what I wouldn’t key their cars.
Check out above the back right wheel of Lindsey’s Pontiac Solstice you don’t believe me. The baby blue one.

Marxist church?
Karl “Religion is an opiate of the masses†Marx?
So Moe, is that an act you are putting on or are you really that, y’know, dumb?
Give Marx his due, Moe.
The real quote is quite lovely:
Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.
Anthony Bradley of the Christian Post interprets that the language of “economic parity” and references to “mal-distribution” as nothing more than channeling the views of Karl Marx. He believes James Cone and Cornel West have worked to incorporate Marxist thought into the black church, forming an ethical framework predicated on a system of oppressor class versus a victim much like Marxism.

2) He actually wants to govern as best he can, and not just for the people that happened to vote for him–because it’s the right thing to do.

Marx had little to do with the troubles of the 20th century, flan.

I’m only 12. I like pasting things to my face. Daddy touches me because Mommy doesn’t love him, and that’s my fault. I like mommies undies next to my face.

That would be easy to do since the folks who founded Black Liberation Theology mixed Marx all up in it. Google is your friend, it can keep you from making a fool of yourself if you let it.

alphie, it’s bad when corrupt officials get off with a slap on the wrist. It’s third worldy and damaging.
no, no, happyfeet, then we’re just like everyone else. no more American exceptionalism. Thank You Obama!
oh. Baracky is in so far over his head I think a lot of exceptions will have to be made just out of graciousness. The for real Moe has a head start it sounds like, but I don’t see why he has to be mean to me.
Innocent until proven guilty.
And don’t underestimate the power to make people laugh.
It coulda pulled the Bush admin. from last place to middle of the pack.
Obama just has to do better than Bush to get re-elected, happy.
That bar is so low I doubt he’ll fail to clear it.
Bush has nothing to do with Baracky’s re-election. If Bush is the frame of reference for evaluating Baracky then I would have to suspect the whole change thing was a sham I think. And then I would become disillusioned. Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that. My gut says the Republicans will run someone else next time.
My thoughts were all along that somehow this would be a Hillary Presidency. She could however never win a straight up election, unlike Bill she is not a good campaigner. I see her more as the power behind the curtain. BHO is there to catch the flak, like Bill before him.
This little exercise is to remind him of who is in charge and how quickly his life can go to hell. Blago is an object lesson that Chicago can’t protect you, this is the big leagues. She has a much bigger bus.
happy,
Are you guys hoping America forgets their eight years of misery under Bush the next time some poor Republican has to run for President?
That’s the mother of all wishful thinkings.
Obama has to start doing better or he’ll wind up impeached.
Alphie, do you wonder at all, now, seeing how little you actually know about this guy, that you actually voted for him? Do you wonder at how so many identity-blinded people voted for the cardboard standup of an idealistic man of straw?
I’m thinking he’ll get the stuffins knocked out of him long before 2012. He’s already getting thinner by the day, and he hasn’t even taken office yet.
Wrong again, parsnippy! America forgot all about Jimmuh, a prez with such a dismal economic record he makes Bush look like a fiscal genius.
Do you just repeat talking points in the hope that they will come true, or are you really so obtuse as to believe them?
Obama hasn’t even taken office yet.
That most Americans already see him as their President shows what an empty suit Bush is.
And log, we’ll have to see how far down the Republican Recession goes before we can compare their economic record to Jimmy’s.
Yeah, that Obama with his 79% approval rating better be worried about impeachment! And when the public finds out he’s so corrupt that he refused to give Blago anything for appointing Jarret they’ll be double-pissed!
More of this, please. I’m really enjoying wingnuttia’s death throes.
Bush is now a straw man comparison, alphiesnipped. You’ve now a man of straw of your own to worry about.
Bush survived the worst that you leftist creeps could dish out for 8 years. How long will your shallow Chicago-politico no-family terrorist-associationist last?
N. O’Brain: Moe Green…another genius heard from.

Buh-bye.
Smoking Gun…
Blago is 51? Nice facelift.
I predict Obama will serve as President of these United States for eight years serr8.
dude, Obama predicted ten. Why don’t you believe in him?
That’s what you call it, eh? TrollToothpick seems more apt.
Rahm Emanuel, the incoming White House chief of staff, is referred to in the affidavit as “President-elect Advisor.â€Â
“President-elect Advisor” is almost certainly Emanuel.
Blago mentioned the “fifth CD thing” in conjuntion with “President-elect Advisor”, and that’s Emanuel’s congressional district.
The trollbois and girlz might want to ask themselves this:
We have Blago running a bidding war involving “President-elect Advisor”, “President-elect”, “Senate Candidates” 1-4, etc. How was he doing this? Through a Ouija board? He was clearly talking to all of these people.
How many of them reported the bribery attempt?
Let me guess: zero, or maybe one.
I see from the sidebar that Lef has posted again.
Your posts are invisible to me now, son. Feel free to screech all you want, ODD-boi.
maggie,
I agree that in eight years many so-called Republicans will wish Obama could serve one more term, too.
You guys will just have to make due with Hillary.
SBP is a perfect example of right wingers who just want to live in the cocoon.
He’s a low-information voter and proud of it.
This “low information voter” knew that Obama was a Chicago machine pol a long time ago, snippy.
You’re acting like a twelve year old girl who just learned that her Teen Hearthrob of the Month is teh ghey.
Just wait until Blago start talking. Heh.
Alphiesnipped, didn’t you suddenly feel a great swoosh of irony wind travel that chunnel that runs between your ears?
Your negativity is rather unpatriotic, SBP.
Remember, 90% of Americans gave Bush their support when he faced a crisis.
I hope the right will return the favor to Obama.
And I do enjoy listening to Blago when he talks, he’s a funny guy.
Your negativity is rather unpatriotic, SBP

Yes, the country being attacked by foreign terrorists is exactly the same as Blowbama and Blag-Jackoff-Itch haggling over the size of the bribe needed to buy a Senate seat.
Blago is going to talk, snippy. Count on it.
Close italics.
Unpatriotic is 7 years of various Democrats bashing the CinC whilst we are conducting two wars, especially when doing so bolsters the enemy’s confidence and weakens American’s resolve.
No, not unpatriotic; I call treasonous.
Screw the f’king democrats and the unicorn they’ve ridden in on.
I saw Rove on Fox today saying our current economic crisis is just something the press cooked up to make Bush look bad.
And I thought, “who would be dumb enough to buy the crap Rove is spewing?” and then I thought of you SBP.
Open up and swallow it down.
You can’t be picky about what they serve you in the cocoon.
You’re acting like a twelve year old girl who just learned that her Teen Hearthrob of the Month is teh ghey.
I finally know someone who voted for Clay Aiken? Cool…
Happy Fitzmas, Blago~! Enjoy your coal!
I saw Rove on Fox today saying our current economic crisis is just something
I saw snippy trying frantically, desperately, to change the subject.
HAHAHAHAH!
We can keep talking about Obama if you want, SBP.
Oh, look, 80% of Americans approve of the transition job Obama’s doing:
http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/12/09/Obama.poll/
Time for the 20% of you who still support Bush to institute loyalty oaths, what?
Or realize the Republican party is throwing you under the bus and form your fringe party in time for 2012.
Go go Palin/Paul!
Rezko is talking and has been talking since October… Blago’s deputy whatever that was indicted today with him will be talking soon. He’s got the skinny on Blago and all of the players involved with not near as much cover – he was probably the cutout for Blago. From a prosecutor’s point of view, he is the bigger prize as far as canaries go.
Blago will be left to twist in the wind.
Fitz will be getting the chum on Jones, Daley and many others from the sharks who were in the running to be senator and their cutouts, too but now are afraid to be caught in the Fed’s nets as they cooperate with Fitz to TRY to get their get out of jail free cards.
To paraphrase the Schieder “I think Fitz is gonna need a bigger boat.”
Did Obama’s new infrastructure/jobs program also include new prison construction to house politicians?
We can keep talking about Obama if you want, SBP.?
It’s not up to you, snippy. Sorry.
Oh, look, 80% of Americans approve of the transition job Obama’s doing:/I>
Another lame attempt to change the subject, snippy.
Let’s see what Blowbama’s approval ratings look like after it becomes clear he was marketing his former Senate seat like a side of beef.
From Jake Tapper:
According to Rep. Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill., Mr. Obama’s incoming White House chief of staff, Emanuel, then-state senator Obama, a third Blagojevich aide, and Blagojevich’s campaign co-chair, David Wilhelm, were the top strategists of Blagojevich’s 2002 gubernatorial victory.
Emanuel told the New Yorker earlier this year that he and Obama “participated in a small group that met weekly when Rod was running for governor. We basically laid out the general election, Barack and I and these two.”
On the Chicago TV show “Public Affairs with Jeff Berkowitz” on June 27, 2002, state Sen. Obama said, “Right now, my main focus is to make sure that we elect Rod Blagojevich as Governor, we…”
“You working hard for Rod?” interrupted Berkowitz.
“You betcha,” said Obama.
“Hot Rod?” asked the host.
“That’s exactly right,” Obama said.
In 2004, then-Gov. Blagojevich enthusiastically endorsed Obama for the Senate seat after he won the nomination, and Obama endorsed Blagojevich for his 2006 re-election race in early 2005.
In the Summer of 2006, then-U.S. Sen. Obama backed Blagojevich even though there were serious questions at the time about Blago’s hiring practices.
At the time, numerous state agencies had had records subpoenaed, with U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald telling authorities he was looking into “very serious allegations of endemic hiring fraud” with a “number of credible witnesses.”
Spin away, RootBoiFat.
Did Obama’s new infrastructure/jobs program also include new prison construction to house politicians?
I forget if it was here or on another blog where someone suggested adding a maximum security wing to the Governor’s Mansion in Springfield, to ease the transition process.
By the way, snippy, subpoenas don’t give a shit how popular you are.
Really.
The poor defeated right just doesn’t get it.
Your phony smears and attempts at Guilt by Association just don’t work against Obama, SBP.
You guys need a new circus act.
Goodnight.
Your phony smears and attempts at Guilt by Association just don’t work against Obama, SBP.
Sleep tight, snippy. Dream of Teh Lightworker doing the perp walk.
But Blago doesn’t live in the gov’s mansion does he? I read somewhere he lives in his own home and helicopters to Springfield for his duties. Maybe just turn the entire mansion into a max sec prison… seems his wife might even get a room, too. She ain’t no bystander in this sorry mess.
Only sharks swim with sharks, otherwise, they are lunch. Is the veg what is still buried in the mud suggesting that Obama is slow and dumb as a shark’s lunch? And proud and happy with that?
[…] Governor Rod Blagojevich (D) arrested for attempting to sell BHO’s junior US Senate seat. Why should anyone be surprised? Posted […]
No you didn’t, snippy.
I read somewhere he lives in his own home and helicopters to Springfield for his duties.
If that gets out he might actually lose some proggos. Or not.
Sorry, root vegitable, but this scandal is going to be the bar that Obama is going to be measured against.
You were informed a long time ago who would be mixed up in this administration. The politics of Illinois is of the incestuous type. There is a huge amount of iceberg left under the surface.
No amount of closing your eyes and holding your breath is going to make this go away.
Unlike Clinton, It wouldn’t surprise me if at some point bodies start turning up. Yes. There is that much at stake.
Enjoy your choice.
Here’s a flag pin, now go make yourself popular in the restroom closest to where the Republican caucus meets.
Because I like to touch Daddy’s tool. Anyway, the point is, the Dems sees idiots like me as the means to regaining power…for the children.
I’m disappointed in you Dan. If you needs tips on truly convincing sock puppetry, ask Jeff.
Don’t be shy.
Haha, it ain’t me but if you’re the one who sock puppets me then fuck you.
Let’s flash back to Oct 7:
And this is well before the Senate seat allegations. Yep, this is just the tip of the iceberg.
If O! fires Fitzy, will the media give him a pass? After the Bush firing freakouts, can they?
Why would you think either of those things, Moe? Neither of them remind me of Gleen(s) in the least.
I was talking about someone pretending to be Moe Green, dumbass.
Fuck you anyway.
You can’t absorb my expertise that easy.
Jesus. Was that you in 110, 111 and 112, Einstein? I was trying to get people to behave themselves so we could have some semblance of a discussion.
And I made my fucking bones campaigning for Carter and Rockefeller, so go flex for somebody else, junior.
What I’m wondering, if Obama is such a genius and what not, how could he NOT have known this tool was so corrupt? Is this the kind of judgement we can expect from him?
I know liberals don’t question his judgement. But, you know, they’re stupid.
Sorry, B Moe. You weren’t my intentional target.
As for a semblance of a discussion, let’s give it a day or two while memeorandum explodes.
I’m Rick James, bitch!
Carin, this is the inverse of Bush the evil genius/total moron. Obama has a brilliant mind and he’s completely oblivious to everything that’s going on around him.
I was at work yesterday with no internet (we’re moving the company) and I was DYING over this sordid tale. Honestly, it’s so totally delicious. Almost as much fun as watching libs explain how this in no way, no how, not in this universe throws the slightest taint on teh One.
No, he’s clean as the wind driven snow. He was born from a pile of shit, but that stuff just slid right off him.
Here’s a flag pin, now go make yourself popular in the restroom closest to where the Republican caucus meets.
“But I’m too pretty to go to jail!”
– Things Blowbama Said, circa 2009
Fitz has Rezko, Blago, and Blago’s pissboy on the hotseat. I don’t think there’s any doubt that Emanuel is next.
Carin, someone on another thread guoted a KosKiddieKult member who was amazed that Obama could come out of that environment and still be The One Without Sin, Our Perfect Lord and Savior.
I LOLed.
Seriously, you have to be a total cynic not to feel some human connection with our trolls who truly feel that Obama is a “good man.”
Think about it — Obama rose through one of the most corrupt political machines in America; you look at his church of 20 years, his alliances, his slipperyness on issues; and if you’re objective and have had any experience with politics, you know what those things mean.
And yet his followers think that he’s almost holy. And based on what? Hope and faith. It’s tragic.
With only slight revisions this could have been written about PeBHO himself. Instead, it’s in Dan’s linked article about Blago. Hope and change. That’s the ticket.
That sentence is one nearly singular ball of irony, parsnip. But you’re probably not going to see it.
Not “hope and faith” — ignorance and delusion.
Reuters comes out right away with the handy O! knob-polishing kit. The extra-heavy duty thor model, it seems. And just as relevant.
This has to be a misquote as only “hicks from the sticks” say things like that.
Why? Why do you seemingly reasonable and obviously intelligent people engage alphie? Seriously, why? There is NOTHING to be gained. If ever there was one troll that needed to be banned for life, it’s that one. He’s to be pointed at and ridiculed. Nothing more.
Vetting of candidates. The Democratic Party method, aka backscratching.
From serr8d’s link:
Reuters today went right to work on distancing Barack Obama from accused Democratic Gov. Rod Blagojevich. Its piece, “Obama seen untouched by Illinois governor charges,” starts:
Just like Obama seen “Untouched” by:
Rezco
Ayers
Wright
Questionable fundraising practices
Supporting a Kenyan dictator
The list goes on…
#194
Seriously, you have to be a total cynic not to feel some human connection with our trolls who truly feel that Obama is a “good man.â€Â
None at all. They had ample opportunity to inform themselves. As a matter of fact I’m rather enjoying their discomfort. My bad. I know. Wicked. Wicked, Rusty.
I’m especially enjoying thors naive insistance that the ‘O’ “isn’t like that at all” . Sucker.
The poor defeated right just doesn’t get it.
Your phony smears and attempts at Guilt by Association just don’t work against Obama, SBP.
I predict that over the next four years, President Obama’s sad-eyed more-in-sorrow-than-in-anger insistence that that is not the {ASSOCIATE_NAME} he thought he knew is going to get very old.
