Does anybody on this site actually support Obama?

I wonder if a liberal holds the same view about President Bush?

It is amusing to see liberals, who insist they aren't liberals, who go to great lengths to defend the most indefensible actions of President Obama and then insist they don't defend President Obama. It must be awkward to have to live that way.

It reminds me of the great liberal who said, "I may disagree with what he says but I will defend to my death his right to say it...as long as he isn't a Jew or a white man or a Republican or a conservative or a Christian or a heterosexual or one of the other unprotected groups.

 

It's always amusing to watch the self-proclaimed political experts rave on about how 0bama won...............TWICE!

The dummies are either too stupid or too young to realize many presidents have won twice. Yes, including their most hated, W.

Their silliness and just plain lack of knowledge is on display every time they touch their keyboards.

 

I haven't supported Obama since I saw him in an interview when he ran for the Senate and sounded like an empty suit with no answers. Before that I thought he was up and coming due to his speeches, which he didn't write. Being able to read a speech is not the only qualifications needed for office.

 

However much one may despise Obama, it is forbidden for anyone in the United States to suggest violence (i.e., "happily punch his teeth", etc.) to anyone holding the office of president. Our right to free speech does not include any public utterance, spoken or written, that expresses a sentiment of violence against a president, even for one so thoroughly horrible as Barack Hussein Obama....

 

A conservative is one who makes (*)(*)(*)(*) up out of thin air, attributes it to a great liberal, and then can't remember the name of the person who actually said it. Attribution, please. Or forever be branded a lying pos conservative.

 

You either trust the voters (as our founding fathers did) or you move to a country that doesn't have the vote. Not much middle ground there. Nobody cares about your opinions after that.

 

This liberal does, although there is some question as to whether Bush actually won. If he got the most votes, he's the president. After that, opinions are like ********s.

 

Ah, we hear from a liberal whose sense of humor is limited to Bill Maher calling a woman a (*)(*)(*)(*). Ah, yes, a liberal who proudly proclaims that Barack Obama won, twice, but President Bush may not have. How typical.

 

I don't support liars.(*)Period!

 

The Framers trusted that the nation would not survive unless the voters were educated and picked moral and ethical people to run the government.

 

Actually I submit that far more disrespect for the office is manifested by those who criticize anyone who bears witness to Obama's brazenly anti-American behavior, by helping to undermine public support for the option that would do the most to make the office once again respectable: impeachment.

 

Face it , the only reason this guy's in there is so the " I need to be part of history and I don't feel good about my life urchins " could make their life complete. And even after the first four year failure they still felt so bad for him that they jeopardized America's stature in the world and repeated the stupidity. He was unfit for the job as a senator and we completed the circle by letting lemonade stand operator run GE.
Do you think we learned ? I hope so , I have kids that have to clean up this liberal mess.

 

That's a hell of a reason to put a man or a woman into the Oval Office; strictly because of their skin pigmentation. Hell if being unique among presidents was the sole important leftwing criteria then they should have voted for Hillary because she was a woman -- never before has one become a U.S. President -- and even more unique than Barack Obama, in that she was actually seasoned and proven enough to almost certainly have been a competent president.

 

You have no idea what you're talking about.

 

First those who want to do violence against the President are treasonous.

That said I support what our President stands for, though he has had mixed results in execution of his policies I agree with.
He made deals to get a health care law passed that is a step in the right direction is not enough.
He went from a peace loving ideologue to a serial killer around the world because he saw the world very differently when he sat in the big chair (as would everyone).
He has worked to help improve the economy and anyone who says different is either blinded by hate or ignorant of reality.
He has failed to be an LBJ even with his own party and it cost him. He should knock heads instead of trying to get members of his own party to like him.

The President has been hamstrung by a do-nothing Congress run by a GOP whose only goal for the last 6 years was to stop the President from looking good.

After the midterms one of two things will happen. The President will gain power as the GOP will abuse any victory they might have and continue to fail to govern and they will get blamed. Or the Dems will hold back the expected GOP tidalwave and then the story will be a GOP shake up and certain policies that have been held back will come to fore.

Remember. Biden is not a good Presidential candidate for the Dems and Hillary is wavering, so every member of Congress who has a Dem leadership position is going to run for President. That will be a great opportunity for President Obama to become the guy he was before, the lovable leader of the party.

Please note there are no levels of uniqueness. It is a binary concept you are either unique or not.

 

14-20. It is evident that there are more conservatives on this site, like a lot of other political based sites, but I use this one because the disparity isn't that bad. I've delved deep into the world of teabagging and ultra-racist/homophobic reactionaries.

 

I support President Obama. I agree with and like some of his policies.

I disagree with and dislike some of his policies.

I voted for him both times as the best choice available.

 

Well, it's a matter of perceptions, really. There are few Leftists who supported Obama, that's just some memes the faux 'Right' throws around; I don't know of any serious Leftists who would be caught dead voting for a candidate nominated by the Democratic Party leadership. Most people posting here are neither 'Left' or 'Right', they're just credulous cultists of one sort or another who have no real idea of what those terms mean, and message board grabass isn't a real measure of the average voter in the U.S. anyway.

Here is a 'real' Leftist and a sample of his positions on Obama, for instance; he also wrote a very good book that came out right before the 2008 elections that also nailed what the Obama administration would actually turn out to be. his commentary on how American politics actually works is spot on:

zcomm.org/znetarticle/the-narrow-spectrum-and-identity-politics-obama-s-puzzlement-invisible-primaries-and-the-trivialization-of-u-s-politics-by-paul-street/

This is close to what the more astute Leftists predicted in general.

What you're reading on these boards for the most part isn't from well read and serious voters, it's just media driven drivel, no different than the people who watch football every Sunday and root for some team or other, not critical analysis or real discussions; it's almost all mere trolling and manufactured 'talking points' taken from partisan hacks and PR flacks. The same goes for the 'Right' re media hubris; they just change the rhetoric around, with no real differences in intelligence or goals. The Democratic Party is run by Bo Boes, not 'liberals'; most are just politically correct Republicans, as pointed out by another blogger before the Democratic Party primaries in 2008:

There used to be more Obama supporters on this site but they've been dwindling as Obama continues to make his gaffes and so-on.

 

The fashion victims got bored and have moved on to newer fashions. It's Change They Can Believe In. They're currently all busy and obsessed with lynching some white guy at the moment.

 

Weird aint it how sites slide right after a while. Even the ones that start out far right go further right. The first forum I was ever on about 7 or 8 years ago started out far right, and after a while got to the point they were outwardly racist, homophobic tea party people and liberterians that tolerated zero diversity of thought. Now they have banned everyone that is not quite as far right as they are. I guess they are still around but I have not checked for quite a while. I remember one big thread they had was about there was someone in one of their local Home Depots (in New Hampshire I think) whose job it was to turn the Spanish sides of boxes out so the Great Americans (them) would be reminded of their place. One would have thought it was an Onion piece but they were dead serious.

 

I think it's just those; speaking purely of their political views that are far right seem to have the loudest voices. There are loud voices for the left, but they seem to buckle after a while. Just a perception of the modern political game. I remember a few months ago in the Australian Senate, a single Greens Party member (The Greens, as the name would suggest, are purely composed of tree-huggers) stood in the absolutely empty Senate-House and spoke about his progressive reform, his voice echoing throughout the building, with only the cameramen paying attention.

 

Fanatical Obama haters rail against those demonic "Leftists!" that fester in their noggins, but in the real world, it was moderate Americans that twice chose him to lead the nation and now express a tepid assessment of his prowess in doing so.

[A] clear majority of Americans are ideologically at the center or right of center. How do Democrats continue to win elections if so few Americans identify themselves as liberal? The answer may lie with moderates, which, as a voting bloc, are solidly Democratic. If moderates begin voting with Republicans in the near or long-term future, there may indeed be a Republican revival on the national level.​

Watch for the GOP to creep back to the centre.

It's an existential ineluctability:

 

Oh, I'm sorry. 3/5 of a human being. Got my numbers wrong there.

 

This one of the most conservative political message boards I've seen. But, that's OK. I enjoy reading other people's viewpoints. Sometimes I even learn things.
