Lionel Mandrake: After FDR's 12-year reign...

I have a hard time taking someone seriously when they use the term "reign" to describe a President's term.


no kidding, "reign" implies legitimacy, which this usurper most certainly does not have.

Ed Finnerty: Mentat: Man, it's too bad no one warned them that a Democrat would eventually win the Presidency.

Pffft. Foresight and circumspection are for heathens and traitors.

relcec: exactly, obama is a guilty as bush ever was of gtmo's existence. the only constraint keeping him from closing has ever been popularity, which is the only thing that guides his compass in any event. speaking of which it shouldn't really matter at all now since he can't run again.

I had done a search on your name to see if anybody had responded to you and gave you the education that you are obviously lacking in regards to what has actually happened...then I read this post, and had a moment of clarity. You are just a ****ing idiot who is trying to troll people by being stupid

I have nothing but pity for you, and hope that you find a better purpose for your life. Going to internet discussion forums like we have here are Fark.com and trolling by being stupid is just pathetic. If you really don't have anything better to do with your life, I suggest you go out, get an education, maybe actually find a purpose for your life. What you are doing now is simply just pathetic and sad. I would say you should live up to your potential, but I am scared to death that this IS the peak of your potential, which just makes me feel bad for humanity...


this is absolutely the peak of my potential, if not a moment of glory exceeding my natural limits. i thank you for your pity.

But remember all that talk about the "permanent Republican majority"? It's almost as if it was an idiotic idea promoted by a bunch of complete morons.

I think you're on to something... After 9/11 #1 (2001), the president was imbued with mystical powers BUT after 9/11 #2 (2012), it was like in a cartoon where a concussion can be healed by a second concussion: the powers disappeared. Obama is just so clueless that he is trying to use his superpowers while being completely unaware that he is impotent.

thomps: i don't give a sh*t when or how they got this epiphany, rolling back the bush-era power grab was a 2008 obama campaign promise and it's high time he made good on it.


If you actually have paid attention he HAS in some massive ways, reforming FISA, disclaiming the infamous WH memos about "enemy combatants" and massively reforming FOIA. It's subtle to the casual observer but seismic if you know this area of law

If we just shot all politicians full of sodium penthanol and forced them to give 20 minute speeches once it kicked in, I'd be all for political discussion.
