I could name a few....:whistling:

 

[droski]

you clearly don't care about the little people in this country.

 

[J-P]

If Obama, Reid, Pelosi, et al were Pinocchio, their nose would extend beyond our solar system by now.

Sadly, that's the case with seemingly all politicians in DC now.

Don't hate the player, hate the game!

 

[volinbham]

Don't hate the player, hate the game!

That's just it OB2.

The man was elected on the idea that he wouldn't play the game. Turns out, he's an all-star.

I expect him to be a politician. It's the constant denial from him that he's a politician 2 seconds before or after he makes a blatant political move or statement that I'm referring to.

Small case in point. He tries to score political points and diminish Cantor's comments by accusing him of using the massive bill as a "prop". Next time we see him, he has a bunch of docs lined up behind him when he lays out the HC bill (that is virtually unchanged). How do we know they are docs? He has them dressed in white lab coats or scrubs (at least they had them dressed properly this time and didn't have to hand out lab coats). I'd say he out propped Cantor with this move.

During his speech he claimed the bill had been stalled by purely political tactics and we must put politics aside. Then he mischaracterized the opposition, misrepresented criticisms and exaggerated what his bill would do. He also took political shots at the opposition.

I repeat - I expect him to be a politician. It's annoying as heck though that he spends so much effort to persuade people that he's not.

It is part of his massive credibility slide.

hopefully he'll be gone in 3 years. or atleast the dem majority will be gone.

Then there is this:

Among their neighbours were Dr Njoroge Mungai, former President Kenyatta's personal physician, President Kibaki, who was then minister for Finance and the late Barack Obama Sr, father of American President Barack Obama.

The White House on Friday announced a "summit on entrepreneurship" to build economic ties with the Islamic world, part of President Barack Obama's outreach to Muslims.

NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden said Tuesday that President Barack Obama has asked him to “find ways to reach out to dominantly Muslim countries” as the White House pushes the space agency to become a tool of international diplomacy.


Pres. Barack Obama has proposed in his new budget the cutting of billions of dollars from the NASA space program, particularly that of the nearly completed moon mission Constellation project.

His proposal will hit hardest the Clear Lake area of Houston, Texas and areas of Florida with thousands more lost jobs… but the unemployment surge won’t stop in Texas and Florida, impacting a potential loss nationwide of 30,000 jobs.

Turkey recalled its ambassador from Washington for consultations after a U.S. House panel brushed aside Obama administration concerns and approved a resolution calling the killing of Armenians in Ottoman Turkey genocide.

The House Foreign Affairs Committee approved the measure today, 23-22. It says the Ottoman Empire, the predecessor of modern-day Turkey, killed 1.5 million ethnic Armenians from 1915 to 1923. It asks the president to ensure that U.S. foreign policy reflects “appropriate understanding” of the atrocity and “the consequences of the failure to realize a just resolution.”



The White House and state department began work today to try to prevent the controversial issue making its way to the floor of the house for a full vote.

The chairman of the Armenian National Committee of America, Ken Hachikian, who is based in Washington, said he hoped the vote would go to the full house before 24 April, Armenian genocide commemoration day.

Doesn't every president act like this? I don't think Obama is unique to this type of behavior. Clinton did it Republican opposition. Bush did these things to Democratic opposition. Doesn't make it right either way it goes.

All do it to some extent but:

1. Obama campaigned on the idea that he wouldn't do this -- it was a core part of "Change"

2. He does it every time he speaks. I can't recall a president spending so much breath explaining how he doesn't play politics then doing it in the next sentence.

 

[MG1968]

one of the more annoying things about Obama is the increasing shrillness of his apologists. I know he has no real control over that, similar to Britney Spears having no control over Chris Crocker, but he doesn't help matters by being in permanent campaign mode.

I've never understood why people flock one way or the other on the political points other than the media does a pretty good job of framing the issues and ignoring and/or marginalizing many if not most of the real concerns of the electorate.

Kampala — Ugandans have formed a group to mobilise support for Kenyan born-senator, Barack Obama for the US presidency.

The Obama Solidarity Group (OSP) launched its campaign at Makerere University on January 18, according to one of the members.

Were those people, (and Gadhaffi) misinformed??

Was Congress derelict in it's duties not to ascertain the truth and follow constitutional guidelines??

Eventually many of FDR's unconstitutional programs were overthrown, nowadays about half the Supreme Court members would just as soon burn the Constitution and when Barry gets through with it, God help us all.

My take on this is he is using the status quo to fulfill that campaign promise. I think the tactic, which is what it is, was designed to point out to the American people that in order to facilitate the promised change. they are forcing me to use the existing, inherit and entrenched methodology in a way that is not what i personally prefer. But am perfectly capable of operating on some level less than my personal preferences. Every action he has taken while in office leads me to this conclusion. If the opposition won't act on a more civil level then use the current system to beat them over the head with it. To show and enforce the mind set that their is a better way to behave, operate and interact. Even though he clearly does not prefer to operate on that level. And you know what it seems to be working.

From day one he has operated in the same way, the partisan if you disagree with me mentality I'll exclude you and do it anyway approach.

I didn't expect anything less from him, for those that said he was going to take a more centrist approach I would say at what point in his career did he give you any reason to believe this would be true? For those like you who believe he is doing things this way out of necessity I would say you bought into the gimmick, even when those that weren't caught up in the mania were doing everything they could to show you you were buying into a slogan or bumper sticker. Obama past political affiliations were all you needed to know that he was of the "the ends justify the means" crowd and he is giving you classic examples even now while telling you he isn't.

In Obama's defense...thus far anyway....he could have pushed some far left wing socialist UHC crap down our collective throats if he wanted to.

I say "thus far" because that is probably what he will end up doing anyway. But yes, you are right, on just about everything else he has moved significantly to the left.

He tried to do just that and if he had is way I believe he still would. The saving grace (for those who are opposed to UHC) is that the American public sent a very clear and distinct message that it was unacceptable and the vast majority of congress and the senate will never buy into and back Obama's plan all the way for fear it will spell political suicide for them. IMO that is all that has stopped Obama to this point.

he said just a month ago that if he could have passed UHC without congress's approval he would have already done so.

But what I am saying is he could have completely ignored that very clear message, handed out pork like a Thanksgiving breakfast to all the blue dogs, and gotten this thing passed. He could have done what it took to utilize the dem majority.

Far be it from me to defend Obama on the HC debate, but I am just saying it could be a lot worse right now.

Who buys this BS?
:banghead2:

No one.

Just like they didn't buy it when Bush, Clinton, Bush, Regan, Carter, Ford, Lincoln, or Adams did it, either.



Know what I find annoying?

That someone would claim that this is a uniquely Obama practice! Every president (Senator and Congressman, too) does this, claiming to be above the fray.

Obama also promised to change the tone in Washington. A large part of the "hope and change" message was that he was going to be different. Things were supposed to get better, cats and dogs would sleep together, the sun would shine and we'd all fart rainbows because of Teleprompter Jesus' non-ideological healing abilities.

I still vote for he is still alive.

I think you're missing his point LG.
