Abhor? Seriously? I don't think you can win as big as he did and be abhorred.

I don't know, republicans keep saying they're liking him more and more. Now is this just to "piss off the libs", their favorite pastime? Or are they actually just realizing what everyone else has known: that he is actually a competent moderate?

Hell, I'm starting to confuse competence with liberalism. Can't blame them.

I wonder what the deal is with the 6% who say it's not an historic inauguration. Even if you don't agree with him politically, how is the first black president not historic? That's either some severe denial or hard core racism.

You're off to a grand start already, Trollmitter.

It's a good thing it doesn't cost any extra money to respect the rule of law and the constitution.

/most important promise?

Well it could have been, would have been, worse than you would ever know.

Some of the republicans in my office are already complaining that if Obama won't be able to save this country, but it will be blamed on what Bush left him. Basically, if he doesn't walk on water and turn his flesh into bread, they will not admit he was the right choice for president.

Thread submitted by Darconix

what a trolly headline.

/don't care for Obama's policies

To be fair, republicans abhor themselves right now. Heck, if I had the world's greatest military and chased red herrings instead of even TRYING to catch the world's deadliest terrorist, then bankrupted the economy to boot (btw, Barnie Frank didn't coin "Ownership Society," that was republicans as well), AND destroyed the constitution while I was at it, I'd probably kill myself.

Speaking of which, go kill yourselves, republicans. It'll be much better than a lifetime of tortured lying to yourself about your political identity.

Republicans abhor him

He hasn't even taken office yet. We've got a long way to go before even Stormfront starts bankrolling a new American Spectator.

This is just general my team v your team booing.

Republicans abhor Obama? Since when? and Why?

I have been a longtime lurker and I think I can safely say that Darconix is one of the only people I have on my ignore list. Others say things I might not agree with but thats like their opinion. Why even come up with this shixt just to get people angry and divisive?

Obama has an 83% approval rating for how he has handled things so far. I guess the Republicans who "abhor" him constitute about 17% of the population? In that case, does it really matter what they think?

The fact that he is not black would be a good place to start.

Nice use of the race card by the way.

That's why I'm rationing my fairy dust.

He's not black? Well, according to Jim Crow-era laws he would be, according to himself he is, and according to the vast majority of black people in the country he is, but I'm sure you know better

Edsel: In that case, does it really matter what they think?

Absolutely, because we need to get those people into leadership positions of the RNC so they'll put Palin on the ticket in 2012. Because Tiny Fey will still be hot in 4 years.

We believe he'll deliver because he's not a smirking, smarmy, language-mangling cock-gobbler.

JBLars: You're off to a grand start already, Trollmitter.

That was the plan. You don't actually think people who submit these headlines give a crap one way or another do you? Hell, we voted for him. It's about paying attention to the wacky meter thing, and if they're in need of fascist headlines, you write fascist headlines.

You know, to keep everything in the politics tab "fair and balanced" *chortle*

I haven't seen much evidence that a significant chunk of actual Republicans hate Obama. I mean the people that pose on Fark as right-wingers pretend to hate him, because they're losers who crave attention. Extreme right-wingers hate him, racists probably hate him, but judging by the 80%+ approval rating that someone cited above it seems that most people don't. I don't think that Republicans necessarily like the guy, after all he does disagree with them politically and that's a reasonable position (as in: I'm not a fan of his policies but hopefully he does a good job) but abhor is a pretty strong word.

You just overestimate the size of the Republican party right now. Every single Republican could hate him and he'd still have an 80% approval rating.

Will you feel the same way with a Woman, Chinese, Mexican, Indian, Mongolian, etc?

There is some guy who is celebrated on Monday that made some speech involving the color of a person... wish I could remember.

Wow, you really showed me! Posting a picture of me that is already viewable from my profile. So edgy. I don't think I'll ever get over this embarrassment.

Republicans are a bitter, useless obstructionist party. Void of ideas and woefully short on any level of competence. Their opinions no longer matter in any practical sense.

GanjSmokr: Edsel: Obama has an 83% approval rating for how he has handled things so far.

wait... that's what i'm supposed to say when people biatch about him not doing anything yet. sorry. my bad.

Hence...why the approval rating is how he has handled the transition. So he's got an 83% rating for everything he has done so far. Mostly his cabinet picks, which are solid.

Darconix: Maybe I'll be proven wrong, but I doubt it.

You doubt you'll get proven wrong every day. It doesn't stop it from happening.

The approval rating is for his performance during the transition. If "Republicans abhor him" then the polls damn sure aren't showing it. Unless they secretly abhor him but are waiting for the inauguration to tell the pollsters that.

I'd rather have a president who we have high expectations of but falls short of them than a president who we had LOW expectations who still fell short of them.

Dont you just love how the same people who sat idly/quietly by while GWB destroyed the country, are all of a sudden super concerned about Obama, even though he hasnt been offically sworn in.

You would think if they were truly concerned about the direction of the country they would have spoken up 4 or 8 years ago.

Any time I see nonsense like this, it makes me smile, because I know its contributing towards the ever increasing lack of credibility of republicans in America. They keep it up, they wont even exist in 4 years....which would be great for the country.

This, from the person with "I'm not racist. I love negros and spics. They are hard workers and work for cheap." in their profile.

You are racist, and you are a useless yambag. Now, get back to humping your cousin-wife and STFU.

Darconix: cameroncrazy1984: Darconix: Maybe I'll be proven wrong, but I doubt it.

No, I have libs disagree with me every day. Doesn't keep the sun from rising or the wind from blowing.

Sorry, I keep forgetting that you don't admit that reality has a liberal bias. Have fun with deluding yourself for the next four years.

MrGumboPants: Abhor? Seriously? I don't think you can win as big as he did and be abhorred.

By a whole 2% more than the "worst president ever"? Yeah, that's a HUGE win. A LANDSLIDE!

Darconix: Maybe I'll be proven wrong, but I doubt it.

This made me giggle.

Darconix: 1996 called: They're warning you libs not to confuse election success with endorsement of overblown liberalism.

1992, which then blew up in 1994. 1996 was nothing more than a mandate that the American people prefer a President who doesn't stroke out on the campaign trail.

Undiluted: To be fair, republicans abhor themselves right now.

Ah yes, the party of love and tolerance speaks!

MethFreek: The fact that he is not black would be a good place to start.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the people who try to diminish his accomplishment by using the "Well he isn't really black" argument are retards of the highest farking order. He may not be black as your hat, but the man is still an African American.

I have MSNBC on right now and they are reporting Obama's approval rating is holding steady at 118%.

Linux_Yes: Republicans abhor him?? say it ain't so, joe. i can't imagine why. i've heard some say Obama is a Marxist. that's just a republican's way of saying that the Obama administration expects republicans to pay taxes and follow some rules of the road like everyone else.

poor republicans, just never can get their way in the land of the Free, Free to pillage and steal middle/working class weatlh.
anyone have a kleenex, i'm getting teary eyed! sniffle.
the horror of it all. those poor innocent god fearing republicans just can't get a break.

You have a very annoying habit of posting everything in bold.

Stop it.

Obama is actually more African American than Jesse Jackson. His dad's from Kenya not South Carolina.
