The only two things he has done that are really bad are his eulogy about the bitch Thatcher and getting so completely outmanouvered about the benefit cut.

I read parts of the eulogy. He could have been a lot nicer. Pelosi was nicer.

"Now this lady who was never for turning goes to rest as grateful friends and allies around the world mourn her passing and pray for her loved ones," Boehner said. "Americans will always keep Lady Thatcher in our hearts for her loyalty to Ronald Reagan and their friendship that we all admired. At this difficult hour, I send the condolences of the U.S. House of Representatives to Prime Minister Cameron and the British people."

If she never turned, did she spend a lot of time bumping into walls or did she just have a crew to move all the doors wherever she went?

I like the way he's killing cancer patients with his sequester. Population reduction is earth friendly. And he just deployed 4,000 troops to 35 African countries, so he's doing those folks a lot of good, spreading Obamalove along with his drones across the dark continent. And he's threatening the Chinese with nuclear annihilation if they don't do something or other. It's about time a president did that. And his new budget proposal will kill a lot of Medicare and Social Security recipients over the next few years, so again he's a winner again on the green front. What's to hate about Obama?

I don't hate him, hell, I don't even hate Bush.
I do wish he could run again so I could vote against him. My social security is to be cut to help make up for what the wall st. thieves did.
He signed the bill that allows Monsanto to legally poison us and kill the bees. Don't they know that we can not survive without the bees?

Obama is a politician first. He assays the political landscape and makes his decisions accordingly. I don't agree with many he has made or about to make with the exception of health care which didn't go far enough for me but I know personally that it has helped in the payment of medical bills. Also, the Lillie Ledbetter fair pay act of 2009 is one of his major achievements.

Also, remember that he is a black man and if I were he, I'd be cautious about stirring up the violent racism that is in the shadows of America.

I am highly critical of some of the decisions, 1. Drones, 2. XL Pipeline, 3. Civil Liberties and domestic spying, 4. Putting the brakes on green technology, 5. Compromising with the recalcitrant GOP who want to destroy him, 6. Targeting on a kill list ignoring "Habeas Corpus", 6. Not putting bin Laden on trial, 7. Forays into Afghanistan which are futile, 7. The persecution of Bradley Manning, (a great American hero in my book) 8. Mass deportations of immigrants, 9.Not investigating Bush and Cheney's war crimes, 10. Kowtowing to Wall Street.

I don't hate Obama but he is no FDR.

Gee, Songwronger, aren't those Kenyan Muslim cannibals supposed to pray five times a day? After all that murder, mayhem, bloodshed, and such, how does he find the time to also pursue his practice of butchering and eating children?

I also love Obama because he killed a sixteen year old American kid who MIGHT have grown up to be a terrorist. Good on Obama. Keep 'em guessing. And he's got the most wonderful Attorney General in history. Eric Holder runs guns into Mexico in order to blame U.S. gun shows when people are killed with those guns. Brilliant. Holderlove is almost as sweet as Obamalove. Who needs guns in America anyway when we have such caring leaders? Obama should just collect all the guns and then summarily execute those who dissent. He already said he has the power to do that with the NDAA, so what's he waiting for? I'm getting really tired of waiting for him to deal with the dissenters. Bunch of ingrates.

Tell you what, Songwronger. At the next Klan meeting, talk it over with the Grand Dragon. Maybe you two can figure out a way to end Obama's murder spree and get him back out in the field pickin' cotton, like God intended.

There is a theory among psychologists that particularly vicious haters are that way because they are looking for a scapegoat to blame for their their own failures.

Similar syndrome to the one postulated by Eric Hoffer in his book The True Believer, in which Hoffer says that the fanatic identifies with some cause—often any cause—in an effort to identify with something he feels is important, and so he can blame others, often a racial group or religion, for his own failures and sense of worthlessness.

Hoffer goes on to say that the fanatical Communist can actually be fairly easily converted to Fascism, or to Evangelical Christianity, or Catholicism, or you name it. But no matter what he converts to, he'll always be a fanatic

Obama is a politician in that he knows how to win elections. Governing is a different story however. Answering to a corporate owned government and a GOP that is hoping for his downfall in Congress is a tough job. He is, though, a Wall Streeter and came into office with that mind set. Otherwise he wouldn't have appointed Robert Rubin and his economic team.

Actually, I think Joe Offer has done a real service. In spite of the brickbats and the childish outbursts, some genuine information is available here. I like what Mudcat has become.
Show me another site that advances a free exchange of ideas that is equal to Mudcat.

The fact that Obama is The President is no reason not to criticize some of his policies. He has let a lot of former supporters down by going back on his promises such as to close Guantanamo and in his tabling of "Single Payer". The problem is that his former supporters used him as a liberal Rorschach test where many of the hopeful read into his campaign what they wanted to hear.

Showing respect for the office of the Presidency as a earnest citizen entails criticizing him when he makes mistakes that impact negatively on the populace. The deifying of a President as some sacrosanct leader ignores the responsibility of the public to make an informed decision about his actions.

No, I don't think I favor your particular dietary choices, but if that's what you prefer, then have at it.
