Fuck Obama with a wooden spoon in 2012

Black Bush, just not as funny

http://www.vanityfair.com/society/features/2011/05/top-one-percent-201105?printable=true

Virtually all U.S. senators, and most of the representatives in the House, are members of the top 1 percent when they arrive, are kept in office by money from the top 1 percent, and know that if they serve the top 1 percent well they will be rewarded by the top 1 percent when they leave office. By and large, the key executive-branch policymakers on trade and economic policy also come from the top 1 percent. ... It should not make jaws drop that a tax bill cannot emerge from Congress unless big tax cuts are put in place for the wealthy. Given the power of the top 1 percent, this is the way you would expect the system to work.

On Wednesday, Obama said he “would try to block the court-ordered release of photos showing U.S. troops abusing prisoners.” The release, which was to be the result of a Freedom of Information Act request made by the ACLU, had been reasonable in the final weeks of April, but today, Obama chose to come out against the release.
According to the Associated Press, “out of concern [that] the pictures would "further inflame anti-American opinion" and endanger U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan” Obama planned to block them.

Essentially, officials want Congress to require all services that enable communications — including encrypted e-mail transmitters like BlackBerry, social networking Web sites like Facebook and software that allows direct “peer to peer” messaging like Skype — to be technically capable of complying if served with a wiretap order. The mandate would include being able to intercept and unscramble encrypted messages.
The bill, which the Obama administration plans to submit to lawmakers next year, raises fresh questions about how to balance security needs with protecting privacy and fostering innovation. And because security services around the world face the same problem, it could set an example that is copied globally.

The White House is seeking to change wording of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA), giving more power to the FBI in requesting Internet service providers turn over individual customers’ activities it considers related to terrorism or intelligence investigations.
At issue is the addition of a mere four words -- “electronic communication transactional records” -- added to a a list the law states the FBI can demand without court order. According to a report in the Washington Post, government lawyers say the revised list of information in this category would include addresses to which Internet users send their emails; dates and times the messages were sent and received; and possible browser history of the users.

When President Barack Obama took office, in 2009, he championed the cause of government transparency, and spoke admiringly of whistle-blowers, whom he described as “often the best source of information about waste, fraud, and abuse in government.” But the Obama Administration has pursued leak prosecutions with a surprising relentlessness. Including the Drake case, it has been using the Espionage Act to press criminal charges in five alleged instances of national-security leaks—more such prosecutions than have occurred in all previous Administrations combined. The Drake case is one of two that Obama’s Justice Department has carried over from the Bush years.
Gabriel Schoenfeld, a conservative political scientist at the Hudson Institute, who, in his book “Necessary Secrets” (2010), argues for more stringent protection of classified information, says, “Ironically, Obama has presided over the most draconian crackdown on leaks in our history—even more so than Nixon.”

OVER the past two years, America has narrowed its goals in Afghanistan and Pakistan to a single-minded focus on eliminating Al Qaeda. Public support for a counterinsurgency campaign in Afghanistan has waned. American officials dealing with Pakistan now spend most of their time haggling over our military and intelligence activities, when they should instead be pursuing the sort of comprehensive social, diplomatic and economic reforms that Pakistan desperately needs and that would advance America’s long-term interests.
In Pakistan, no issue is more controversial than American drone attacks in Pakistani territory along the Afghan border. The Obama administration contends that using drones to kill 10 or 20 more Qaeda leaders would eliminate the organization. This is wishful thinking.

WASHINGTON — Despite pessimism that the war in Afghanistan is turning out to be a quagmire, Democrats controlling the House muscled through a plan Thursday to finance President Barack Obama's troop surge, but only after sweetening the measure with last-ditch moves to salvage their faltering jobs agenda.
Long delayed, the approximately $80 billion bill was passed amid building pressure on Democrats to act before their weeklong Fourth of July break begins. But the Senate approved a significantly slimmer measure in May and it'll take additional weeks to reconcile the differences between the two battling chambers.

The Obama administration is intensifying its illegal secret war in Yemen as armed rebellions against the U.S.-government-backed dictatorship of Ali Abdullah Saleh (left) threaten to overthrow the regime. But while the mainstream press has been cheering on the unlawful military campaign, experts warned that it could easily backfire.
Witnesses said multiple civilians were killed in an American air strike late last week supposedly targeting suspected militants — an unavoidable consequence of jet fighter and drone attacks that will almost certainly stir up more anti-U.S. sentiment. And the secret bombing campaign has actually been stepped up in recent weeks on orders from the White House, according to military officials cited in various news reports.

Fuck Obama.

 

[lurkingdirk]

Wow. Just wow. Know how the emperor in Star Wars says that your hate will make you powerful? He was wrong. Hate has made you dumb.

[Trident1]

I sense great hate in this thread. Let your hate lead you to the dark side.

fuck your party, bitch, fuck YO party



the links in the OP are more than enough indictment of how you're getting played by this motherfucker, but you're still going to defend him for 2012? Ha ha WHO's dumb, again?:rofl2:
You didn't like W. Bush? But you DO like Obama? lol

Actually, I'm not defending anyone. I'm not a Democrat. No I didn't like Bush. However, no, I don't like Obama, either.

Also, for every link that you have provided above, I could find dozens either disproving what you are saying or clearly shifting blame. I place absolutely no stock in the articles you have provided. Media is too easily manipulated.

That said, I don't see a lot of Democrats starting threads with cunning titles like, "Fuck the GOP with a wooden spoon."

Additionally, if you're comfortable calling me dumb after making astute comments such as

fuck your party, bitch, fuck YO party

Then carry on. I feel my original post in this thread has been justified.

.

those links are just articles of everything he HAS DONE, through the Executive branch. You didn't even read any one of them, shitbird.....those links are just examples of him continuing every major critique of the previous administration:bang:

You have "other articles" (other facts) that show he hasn't initiated drone attacks in Pakistan/Yemen? lol....okay

 

[lurkingdirk]

shitbird

I'll just bask in that, thank you.

You do know that no one on FreeOnes is ever going to read one of your posts/threads and have some lightbulb go off, right? You know you are never going to convince anyone here?

 

[docholliday80]

Respect.

 

[ragincaucasian]

don't remember you getting so offended when I've ridiculed the "other party" (and I do a lot)

You do know that no one on FreeOnes is ever going to read one of your posts/threads and have some lightbulb go off, right?

so take your own advice and quit posting :drama:

 

[Jon S.]

Let's be fair.....there is plenty of blame to go around:

1. Bush left the country in the shitter.

2. Obama has proven to be a weak and ineffective leader.....in an effort to seemingly try to get everyone to like him (despite the fact that it was abundantly clear to anyone with any sense that there is a faction that want to see him fail at all costs).

3. Congress is a MESS and full of ineffective leaders. Their approval is even LOWER than Obama's!

4. The people of my country, by and large, are DUMB AS DIRT!!!!!! Sorry, someone had to say it! Just look at the shit they put on television and the shitty movies being released and the crappy music.......it's because that's what the minions want! Just sayin'!

5. Corporate America has essentially taken over control of this country!

6. We don't make a damn thing anymore aside from hamburgers, and shitty so-called forms of entertainment! I guess we are still the Kings of the porn industry.....yeah us! Ha ha ha!

7. Back to the stupid shit for brains that make up the vast majority of the population of my country.....everyone wants something for nothing! Nobody wants to pay for a damn thing. That's what has gotten us in this mess really. 1st it's this on credit, that on credit, and the other on credit. The people have been spending beyond their means for years!!!!!!! They say the next generation is the 1st that will have things worse than the previous one......no duh!!!!! Actually having to live within your means is a bitch! Ha ha ha! Then they want the government to provide all kinds of services, but they don't want to pay for it either. It's funny that for a country that is so "against socialism" so many of my fellow Americans seem to embrace it in it's various forms, so long as they are getting a cut! Just sayin' Ha ha ha! For fucks sake, we need to raise taxes to get us out of this mess...but corporate America and their cronies in the GOP keep the mindless drones afraid and they just go against their own interests at every turn! They try to scare you against universal healthcare. They make you think Reagan was a God, and his trickle down economic scheme (though throughly proven to be a failure), will still work today (like I said, it didn't work then)! So cutting corporate taxes & taxes on the rich = more jobs.....yeah right!!!!!! That equals more money for the rich all right.....not much more than that though! Fuck, taxes are at they lowest rates in nearly 50 years! So why are we still bleeding jobs then? Just sayin'! Yeah, by the way, a flat tax, much less a 1% flat tax with no deductions or exemptions is bloody genius!!!!! Wonder what we will have to cut then? The entire military for certain. No highway funds. Oh wait......as federal dollars dry up.....I'm sure the State and Local governments will raise taxes to make up for it. Sorry kids, as fun as it is, there is no such thing as a free lunch!

8. So many of my fellow Americans are afraid of education, and anyone who is educated. Just more of that being afraid of the boogy man (like I said earlier).

9. So many of my fellow Americans are lacking in reasoning abilty, common sense, and rational though. Just sayin'!

10. Can't forget to mention the FACT that America is essentially a fairly racist and intolerant nation...and Obama is black...yeah, my fellow whites will point out that his mother is white when it's convenient in an effort to deflect this criticism. Trust me, middle & rural America can't be too pleased that there is a black man in the White House. I'd respect them if they would just admit it though!

Like I already said there is plenty of blame to go around. However, I find the majority of it falls squarely on the shoulders of the PEOPLE......because I find our elected officials are a pretty fair reflection of the people as a whole! Dumb as dirt, anti-social tendencies, incivility, spending beyond their means.....yep, a pretty good reflection of the people! Just sayin' guys!

Hey, someone had to say it! :2 cents:

Hey, someone had to say it! :2 cents:

Thanks for summing up that which I could not articulate for 6 months. Right on post. let it be noted that the thread starter lives in Western La.

La. as a whole and Western La. in particular have been "anti-gov" since they were inhabited by non indigious people in the late 17th cen.

I lived in New Orleans for 17 years and made many trips to "Cajun" country. Cajuns rescued me in the aftermath of Katrina. That being said in my opionion LA.has the worst Education system in the USA. I voted at a middle school in N.O. Just walking in and looking at the classrom made we want to cry. 1940's paint and desks. I loved my time in La. and learned many things about the "southern lifestyle" I will not go go back to this area.

Because of: Lack of education.

 

[Smallville417]

Not satisfied completely, but I would vote for Obama again.

 

[ragincaucasian]

et it be noted that the thread starter lives in Western La..

yeah, that MUST be it!!!!

thread starter lives in Louisiana, but was born in Mid west and lived in PNW before moving to Louisiana. Did not attend school in the south.DERP

[busaguy79]

This country has been going down the shitter for over 20 years, its just that all the bad decisions our government has been making for us these last 20 or so years are finally starting to bite us in the ass in a fucking huge way so its been a real long way coming!!
