weezbo: Or hoped no one else would.

Poor naive fool. Fark taught me to look out for BS like that.

Here Comes Everybody: Rug Doctor: Obama can troll with the best of them. I admire him for not doing it more, because if I had the power to make millions of Republicans go insane with rage just by talking, I don't think I could resist.

I was exposed to Fox News this afternoon (it was on the TV at the gym) and Mygyn Kylly and her guests spent a good ten minutes squawking over how PRESUMPTUOUS! Obama was to claim he had five more years. And, inevitably, predicting that this arrogance and general uppitiness would turn off voters.

In all fairness to Megyn Kelly. Tits or gtfo.

Chimperror2: No, all republicans need is a dead cat.

So you're saying the current crop of GOP contenders are less electable than a dead cat.

1. Grant amnesty. They're already here.
2. Enforce the law and hold employers accountable going forward.
3. Allow states to enforce the law (yes, even Arizona).
4. Open up immigration quotas and streamline immigration processes.
5. Pay for temporary housing assistance and integration classes.
6. Everyone chill the fark out and share a beer with your new immigrant neighbor.

/ See... this is why I'll never get elected to office...

red5ish		2012-02-24 12:35:45 AM

Let's not bicker and argue about who killed who....

What's important is that President Obama is making a strong argument that the Republicans in congress are obstructing progress on immigration reform and that " Hispanics should ... examine who they support for House and Senate seats".

Hispanic Americans make up a large block of voters who have been alienated by the GOP. A voter block which may prove decisive in several states in the coming elections.
Keep up the good work GOP!

Now if only the GOP would do something to alienate another large voter block, such as women, or old people.
Oh, wait, they're doing that too.

I'm starting to think 5 more years of Obama isn't going to be as bad as I thought it might. Then again, we've already seen the vast friggin difference between "campaigning" Obama and "presidenting" Obama so FFS we're all screwed and nevermind anyway.

winterwhile: does Chris Mathews have pee running down his leg?

If you'll remember, Matthews got a chubby when he saw W swaggering in his flight suit. Funny how you squish-heads always forget that.

Would you like to discover the difference between "campaigning" Santorum and "presidenting" Santorum?

/imagine all the crazy shiat he's NOT talking about

5Nickels		2012-02-24 01:14:12 AM

Just more proof he's an idiot. Not to mention his lack of knowledge on, well, most everything. At least he can carry a tune in a rusty bucket, I guess he has that going for him.

Actually, I try to stay clear of any kind of Santorum.

DavidVincent: "I will let all you amigos stay if you vote for me in this election"

How is that different from:

"I will let you firebomb abortion clinics if you vote for me."

ib_thinkin		2012-02-24 05:54:35 AM

soy_bomb: I linked directly to the original, reliable source in the post. You chose to focus on Judicial Watch.

I did no such thing. Focus on who you're talking to.

Darklemming		2012-02-24 06:36:27 AM

Awesome, 5 more years of broken promises and blaming Bush!

ib_thinkin		2012-02-24 06:43:30 AM

You seem concerned.

I know, right? So many broken promises.

Darklemming: Awesome, 5 more years of broken promises and blaming Bush!

Really, we have a decade left to recover from the Bush presidency. 2 generations of Americans are going to be blaming Bush until they die. It is going to be studied under the topic of "FAIL" in universities for decades.

It was just that bad. Deal with it.

Look at all the cheerleaders come out for Obama! I mean is there enough BBQ sauce to go around to flavor up Obamas dick they are sucking? The excuses made for this man are asinine.

DozeNutz: Look at all the cheerleaders come out for Obama! I mean is there enough BBQ sauce to go around to flavor up Obamas dick they are sucking? The excuses made for this man are asinine.

The only excuse that I've heard so far is that "Man, I wish someone would have run that wasn't pants-on-head retarded... I sure would have voted for that. Now I HAVE to vote for Obama to keep those jackoffs away from the Oval Office, and probably electrical outlets."

It's the classic GOP deflection. Rave and shout about your own faults as if they were the faults of your opposition. It's beyond obvious now.

dave2198: finaboy: HellRaisingHoosier: finaboy: HellRaisingHoosier: 9beers: Get what done? We know it's not securing the border and depleting illegals, so what is it?

You're wrong.
We've increased security by added boots on the ground and border surveillance.

Statistics:
400,000 people were deported in 2011
392,862 people were deported in 2010
390,000 people were deported in 2009
(FYI - fewer than 120,000 people were deported in 2001)

There have been more deportations by ICE and Border Patrol under President Obama then there were by President Bush's and Clinton's administrations combined.

Yeah, but what's the count on how many weapons we've supplied them with vs. how many of our "boots on the ground" have been murdered by said weapons?

The United States is the top weapons supplier of the entire world. So I don't know how many weapons we've sent down to Mexico.

How many ICE agents and Board Patrol have been killed the last few years?

Are you talking about the ones whose records have been sealed or just all of them in general?

Herpity Derp!

More like snarkity snark, but whatever.

Wrong, Lib. There are only and exactly TWO possible reactions anyone can have to President Fart: absolute hatred, and abject fellatio.

So, what you're saying is that between fellatio and all the new illegal immigrants that we'll be importing to build our floors and lay brick, it's a good idea to invest in the kneepad market?

This quote

Obama:"You know, we live in a democracy. We don't live in a monarchy. I'm not the king. I'm the president. And so, I can only implement those laws that are passed through Congress."

reminds me of this other quote

Bush:"If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just as long as I'm the dictator."

Knowing what words to use to express a similar thought makes quite a difference on how the message is received.

colon_pow		2012-02-24 10:13:11 AM

it's gonna be tough with gas prices around 5$/gal, obamacare getting shot down by the supreme court, and the court battles over the contraception mandate going on during the election.

BeesNuts		2012-02-24 10:31:35 AM

King Something: jvl: Corvus: jvl: So why not start with a proposal now? Or back when both houses of Congress were Democratic? Even GW Bush managed to actually make a proposal despite a lack of popularity for the idea. It's almost as if he was not really serious about this issue.

Because congress is busy with important matters like telling women they are slutty whores who should shut up and keep their legs together.

The Republicans have had exactly one house of Congress for 13 months now, so naturally you blame them for everything that happened in the last 37 months?

How about this: if he's really serious. Propose SOMETHING. Get both Republicans and Democrats on record with an actual vote. Or, if not serious, he can keep on trolling the hispanic voters.

Only thirteen months?

You seem to be unaware of the filibuster, which the GOP has been using very frequently over the past 37 months. They have a cloture-proof 'majority' in the Senate almost the entire time President Obama has been in office and they have not been the least bit shy in exploiting this.

And once again:
Biden, Burris, Clinton, Salazar, Byrd, Kennedy, Giffords, Franken...

I think the Democrats spent all of 15 hours or something with the "supermajority" that people seem to love claiming they had for two years.

This. Tweety will suck the cock of any man with power.

/only cock, though
//I remember how he treated Hillary in '08

BeesNuts: I think the Democrats spent all of 15 hours or something with the "supermajority" that people seem to love claiming they had for two years.

Basically, just enough time to pass the Affordable Care Act, and only barely at that (the Democratic "supermajority" ended shortly after the Senate passed one version of Obamacare, when Martha Coakley showed us all what happens when you don't bother campaigning for a Senate seat).
