The Do As I Say Not As I Do In Politics

[don_equis]

Well it appears to all of you who did not cared about President Elect Obama's past questionable associations or questionable statement made by himself. Well it appears like a classic example of "Do as I say not as I do" case. For those of you that so vehemently supported him and would like to get a job at his administration then get ready to spill evertything you have done that might be "questionable".

Here's an excerpt from the news article:

CNN) -- If you want to work for President-elect Barack Obama's administration, be prepared to spill almost everything there is to know about yourself.


As White House chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel will have a say in many of the new administration's hiring decisions.

The Obama transition team is sending a seven-page, 63-item questionnaire to every candidate for Cabinet and other high-ranking positions in the incoming administration.

The questions cover everything from information on family members, Facebook pages, blogs and hired help to links to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, American International Group and troubled banks as well as lawsuits, gifts, resumes, loans and more.

P.S. "Hope" that your blogs on freeones don't come up after all it's in a porn site and that is quite impolitically correct.

Would you prefer scandals later?

Besides, im sure you would bash him either ways...

 

[ChefChiTown]

Can we merge all of these "Anti-Obama" threads into one? I mean, seriously. You don't like Obama and feel the need to remind us every single day with 5 new threads...we get it.

A blog is also a nice alternative to ChefChitTown suggestion

 

[Friday on my mind]

I think most people knew quite a lot about Obama and the so-called questionable people he had known which you allude too.Many of us think it was non-issues, but you can't say it was not spoken of and something people had a chance to consider when voting.The people knowing this information made the judgement to elect(hire) him.As to his cabinet/top level positions being screened and vetted thoroughly I guess he is damned eitheir way lol.You criticize him for it but if he didn't do it and something came out later that was embarrasing it would be see he and his people are incompetent or worse lol.But there is no double standard here ,people were allowed to consider whatever they thought appropriate and the republicans and Fox news made sure you heard every what they thought damaging thing they could say about Obama.Your just disappointed people didn't think the same things you do were important I think and elected him anyway.Always gonna be people who feel like that after elections.I felt that way in 2000 and 2004 and a few others.:1orglaugh

If you want to see examples of "do as I say, not as I do" in politics, look no further than your local (or even not-so-local) Republican. Once you've done that, you will have to look NO further!

 

[don_equis]

It's just a thread and it did not even started with Obama (although it is highly related to his policies), so no need to join the heresy club and start condeming people who's been calling on his bullshit and still does or do we have to wait on the all mighty media to tell us when is the time to be a critic on his policies?

Is this how this four years are gonna be? not questioning a public elected official?

 

[LUVbigboobs]

It would help if you used decent spelling and grammar. I'm sure if President-elect Obama makes mistakes (which I'm sure he will - he is human, after all) the media will be right there to notify all of us of it. If not, then I'm sure the right wing will be only too happy to do so. Still, he should do a MUCH better job than the moron who currently inhabits the White House. 'Course, that's not saying much, I know.

That's funny. The first thing you said in this thread was...

Multiple, brand new Anti-Obama threads started by Don Equis every single day...is this how the next four years are gonna be?

It's old dude. Really, really old.

Answer to this simple question then...

Do you preferm to condamn him now because he scrutinises what could be questionnable from scratch ... or condamning scandals when they will happend?

Be honest.

Either way you will bash him.

Lose-lose situation for Obama.

 

[LUVbigboobs]

Lose-lose situation for Obama.

Not having "Dubya" in office anymore after 20 January 2009: WIN - WIN for the U.S., and for the whole world, for that matter!

I didn't see this as another Obama thread. Many people have started their own threads about him. So, they can't say too much about another thread.

Obama should be called on everything, like any other lying politician.
What about all the Democrats that were elected with Pelosi?

They were going to "change" things too, nothing happened.
Just like I had told everyone, elsewhere on the net.

Democrats and Republican all lie.
America needs another party to step up and change things.
Because it will not happen with the Republicrats.

 

[jibbijib]

Some people just don't get it.


No matter who goes into power, there's never going to be any honesty, and not everyone is going to be happy.


I keep on having to say this, over and over again, and frankly I'm getting really tired of it.

Republicans got what they deserved and just for the 100th time I am not a republican!

King Obama defenders quickly to get personal when attacking anyone who questions anything about his policies. BTW knock yerself out plenty of typos on the many threads out there.

Can we merge all of these "Anti-Obama" threads into one? I mean, seriously. You don't like Obama and feel the need to remind us every single day with 5 new threads...we get it.

Wrong Chef I don't start 5 threads of anti Obama, don't know what soup ya ate today.

Not having "Dubya" in office anymore after 20 January 2009: WIN - WIN for the U.S., and for the whole world, for that matter!

Bush was not running against Obama so I doubt that we would have four more years of him genious.

So for the next four years no questioning of any of King Obama's policies or decisions? and if he will always have a quick response team of enablers to break down what he meant or that is ok to make mistakes because why?...he only got two years as a junior senator? come on say it, you know you all what to admit it, you all don't know what the heck is he planning...

Sorry. You created 4 Anti-Obama threads, not 5. My bad.

Not counting this one, those are 3 other threads that you have created in which you do nothing but try and rile up an anti-Obama conversation. You can try and claim that you weren't doing such a thing, but it's obvious to everyone on the board that you were.

You are unhappy that Obama is President. We get it. Move on.

What exactly are you suggesting? That he's anti-American, or some other ridiculous notion such as that? If you truly are not a Repugnican (which I think you actually are) then why are you so anti-Obama? Because he has relatively little experience? I'll concede that. But as former President Clinton said, "it can be argued that NOBODY is ever really ready to become President of the United States." By that he meant that no matter how much or what kind of experience one has in public office, NOTHING one has done beforehand will ever REALLY prepare one for running the richest, most powerful (by most people's account) country in the world. So if you're upset about President-elect Obama's lack of experience, you needn't worry, because he has the capacity to L-E-A-R-N. The real question is: "Do you?"

Got my sarcasm hat for the past eight years and just gave it a tune up for the next four years, why if someone points something out on this guy, it means that we have not moved on? He is not a King and last time I remember this is a free country and we can always dissent.

Not sugesting anything the tittle of this thread says it all if you don't get it, then maybe look up the word double standard, I can't help ypu further child.

You know what we should do? We should all get a gun and shoot eachother.

Quit being so condescending, you ignorant piece of sh*t. The very fact that you're doing that indicates that you have no real leg to stand on about anything, just like a Republican. I guess that means you really are one then, right? Figures, ya hypocritical piece of crap.

I have a better idea: we take all ding-dongs like you and like Dos Equis (or whatever that idiot goes by) and drop you all in the middle of the Pacific Ocean with heavy weights tied to your legs. Now THAT would be an improvement over our current state, no question about it!
