Gee, your hair smells terrific! And is that a fresh crease on those trousers? Rrrrrawrrr!
With trade deals you get chopsticks…
That’s not what Obama. He got a “deliverable” whatever that is.
Obama is an even sadder man than I thought. Not only did the MFM do him no favors by not vetting him properly during the run up to the election, it also did him no favors by almost always being on his side. The fact that he was compelled to ask why the reported didn’t ask what compliments he received from foreign leaders is telling, as well as pathetic.
This is a man who has, apparently, never faced serious adversity, and that is showing even more now. I had some teeny-tiny hope that the last election might teach him something (okay, not really), but evidently it has not.
He is exactly who we thought he was three or more years ago. I do not think he can turn himself around, and so the country cannot be turned around as long as he is in office. So, we endure until we can vote him out.
But, Cranky, is he a good man?
O!&Co. couldn’t just pass the deal Boooooooooooooosh! had already negotiated with the Korean’s last year, could they. Noooooooo, they had to load it with BS about protecting the dignity of labor, and correctives for Korean manufacturers environmental practices.
They had to appease big labor and the enviro-nazis.
Meanwhile Korea’s automobile emission standards and mpg requirements exceed California’s…
The only “successes” on that trip came in the way of agreements to increase military cooperation with India and Indonesia; but that’s no substitute for a 600 ship blue-water navy.
But, you know, advocating for a strong defense at the expense of social justice programs is equivalent to violence.
Carin, he probably loves his kids, and maybe the rest of his family. He probably doesn’t kick the dog (if he ever actually interacts with it at all). He probably believes in what he is doing, and that he is the Very Bright Person who has the smarts to make it all work.
So, he might be a good man, but he sure as hell isn’t a humble man, and humility (or at least a belief in something greater than oneself) is a necessary trait in a good leader.
He’d be fine on the faculty of some university where he couldn’t do serious damage. He’s notso-hotso where he is now.
Yeah, I know you were referencing a famous incident, but I guess I’m in a serious mood right now. I’ll get over it soon enough.
iconic like my asscrack?
Well, it was a famous incident at this blog, anyway.
And remember, if you say, “here, boy,” to your dog and a black man is nearby, you’re a racist and you are going to hell.
Boo!
Unbelievable. What has to happen before someone goes to hell, cranky? That’s right, they have to die. You just issued a death threat. On the internet. An internet death-threatener is what you are. Bad, bad cranky!
Hey. That death threat issuance is MY gig.
Don’t make me fuck you up now.
When will the violence end?!
Is this WWIII?
I’m taking one of my CrankyCudgels™ to all your sorry asses, and you know what? I won’t even break a sweat doing it. My hair will be unruffled. That’s just how much of a bad-ass I am.
I’ll bet you’re really impressed with me right now. I know I’m impressed with me.
[Obama would]be fine on the faculty of some university where he couldn’t do serious damage.
Respectfully cranky, given that he’s the end product of two, going on three, generations of “the best and the brightest” the University has to offer, I have to disagree with the notion that university faculty can’t do serious damage. Catastrophic damage, however, is another thing.
I’m adding you to my list, Ernst.
So let me get this straight, we’re all going to go Tron on each others’ asses now, is that right?
Don’t make me put you in the comfy chair, cranky.
You’ll stay the hell away from me, cranky, unless you want a taste of my new-and-improved SquidCo® PointyThingies™ and FireyThingies™!
(I was told I could not trademark “torches” or “pitchforks.” Dammit.)
Anything but that, please.
I’m sorry everyone. I was having one of my episodes again.
(BTW, preview is nice for making sure your blockquoting is working right. Thanks again, Admin.)
K hows this for an avatar?
It’s a good thing you backed down in the face of my righteous snark. Because let me tell you mr., if you and I were to ever meet in the real world, I’d probably buy you a drink.
Obama following through on Bush’s overtures to India is one of the better things he’s done. That said, he probably didn’t actually accomplish that much because, hey, that’s not what he does.
Bascom, that would make an awesome avatar. First-rate!
