"What troubles me about this... I think it's beyond hypocrisy. I think it's something to do with class. A lot of people have accused Obama of class warfare, but in the wrong direction. I believe this is Obama chortling with Jimmy Fallon about lower class people. Do we believe, even for a second, that if Obama had been busted for marijuana -- under the laws that he condones -- would his life have been better? If Obama had been caught with the marijuana that he says he uses, and 'maybe a little blow'... if he had been busted under his laws, he would have done hard f*cking time. And if he had done time in prison, time in federal prison, time for his 'weed' and 'a little blow,' he would not be President of the United States of America. He would not have gone to his fancy-a** college, he would not have sold books that sold millions and millions of copies and made millions and millions of dollars, he would not have a beautiful, smart wife, he would not have a great job. He would have been in f*cking prison, and it's not a god damn joke. People who smoke marijuana must be set free. It is insane to lock people up."

of course he'd be in prison. just like every president before him.

and if president Reagan had used drones to drop bombs over Indonesia under the guise of fighting communism....he'd probably be fucking dead.

"Two men who identified themselves as being from the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office in Phoenix went to the Hawaii Department of Health this morning requesting verification of President Barack Obama's birth certificate, said a state spokeswoman. A Hawaii deputy attorney general gave the men information concerning the legal requirements to obtain such a document; the requirements are posted on the Health Department's website. The two men then left the office, Health Department spokeswoman Janice Okubo said. The two men showed Maricopa County Sheriff's Office badges and identified themselves as Michael Zullo and Brian Mackiewcz, Okubo said. They are "authorized by the Sheriff of Maricopa County, who is conducting an official investigation," a spokesman for the sheriff's office said in an email. Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio has been researching Obama's residency status using a volunteer cold-case "posse," but now has employed a taxpayer-funded deputy, The Arizona Republic reported Monday. Zullo is a volunteer, the Republic reported, but Okubo said that Mackiewicz presented a business card showing he is with the Threats Management Unit of the sheriff's office. Arapaio's birth certificate investigation comes as the U.S. Justice Department is suing his office for alleged civil rights violations, including discrimination against Hispanics. Separately, Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett, who says he is not a "birther," said in a radio interview Thursday that Obama's Arizona ballot status is in question unless Hawaii responds positively to his request under a Hawaii law regarding confirmation of birth certificates. Hawaii Department of Attorney General spokesman Josh Wisch said Monday the department has been in touch with Bennett since Friday and that he would need to provide legal authority showing his office is "a governmental agency or organization who for a legitimate government purpose maintains and needs to update official lists of persons in the ordinary course of the agency's or organization's activities." Obama was born in Honolulu on Aug. 4, 1961. Birthers contend Obama was not born in the United States and thus not eligible to be president. The state released a copy of Obama's long-form birth certificate last year, but the release did not satisfy many birthers. Bennett, a Republican who is reportedly considering a run for governor in Arizona, said Friday he assumes he'll get the confirmation he requested in March from Hawaii officials."

5/23/2012 4:27:42 PM

what youre asking is the equivalent of this:

"so tell me again how GWB is an illiterate fuck?

no seriously, link me a single video clip or transcript that shows where he cant speak or pronounce anything."

im sorry, but whether or not obamas record reflects it is irrelevant (even though it does reflect it).

its pretty much common knowledge at this point that he cant be in front of a camera and not mention wall street, fat cats, a fair shake, corporations, greed, blah blah blah.

i didnt mention his actual record once; im talking about his ridiculous talking points meant to rile up a very specific and clueless portion of the population.

and then you try to deny that he says something that he actually says the most! priceless!

no, im not going to link you to jack shit; you can use google just as well as i can. you can watch the news when he speaks, or c-span, or whatever... its not my job to wipe your butt when its covered in poo; nor do i have to prove to you that it is poo-covered after pooing.

the only people who should be upset with Obama are people on the left. he talks like a liberal, but he walks like a conservative. but you're too immersed in your own fox news based reality to get that through your skull.

5/23/2012 4:34:06 PM

the fact that you think or assume i watch fox is enough for me to discard your every drivel.

just to bring this "argument" back to where it started, ill remind you i said this:

seriously, nothing youre saying now has anything to do with what i was initially saying then.

so hes a pro-business democrat, congratulations, i agree, whoopty-doo? i didnt care in the first place.

his mindless banter about the evils of money is meant to appease a bunch of dirty drum circle granola faggots.

end of story. thats all i was saying. fuck you and your bar graph; i care not for it.

5/23/2012 4:58:04 PM

yeah man, fuck facts.

i'm all about sugary platitudes.


nevermind that we've seen job growth since 2008. he once said something mean about wall street and called them greedy (while simultaneously doing dick-all about it). that hurt my feelings. so i don't like the man.

aha, now we're getting somewhere. the "dick-all" is exactly what im getting at.

why doesnt he run on his "stellar" record then if thats what it is? why does he feel the need to issue hollow statements about his closet wall street buddies (not once, but constantly/endlessly).

why does he attempt to placate the ignorant/liberal masses with his ridiculous tirade? doesnt that make you mad? i mean, you elected him, but i never even gave him the benefit of the doubt. i KNEW he was going to be absolute shit.

you on the left, shouldnt you hate him more than me? at least i wasnt disappointed in him.

at least his latest tv commercial somewhat tries to focus on his record, but i cant help but think all he has left are hopeless college students and minorities that vote for him only because theyre minorities.

hes losing/lost the hardcore and educated left, i guess maybe ill throw the "not romney" crowd in there.

but yeah, again, not disputing his record because i never brought it up. his credibility ends with hobnobbing wall street types and then bashing them on stage because it makes granola flow at UC-Berkeley.

it should disgust you just like the way republicans throw religion around when in fact most of them are probably the least religious people youre ever going to meet!

"“These documents, which took nine months and a federal lawsuit to disgorge from the Obama administration, show that politically-connected film makers were giving extraordinary and secret access to bin Laden raid information, including the identity of a Seal Team Six leader,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “It is both ironic and hypocritical that the Obama administration stonewalled Judicial Watch’s pursuit of the bin Laden death photos, citing national security concerns, yet seemed willing to share intimate details regarding the raid to help Hollywood filmmakers release a movie ‘perfectly timed to give a home-stretch boost’ to the Obama campaign.”"

i say we pump full birther enthusiasm into dis shit now mang.

on that note i believe hawaii shut arizona down as far as keeping obama off the ballot (hes gonna be on it). of course they didnt say exactly what proof was given either...

"Forget Bain — Obama’s public-equity record is the real scandal Despite a growing backlash from his fellow Democrats, President Obama has doubled down on his attacks on Mitt Romney’s tenure at Bain Capital. But the strategy could backfire in ways Obama did not anticipate. After all, if Romney’s record in private equity is fair game, then so is Obama’s record in public equity — and that record is not pretty. Since taking office, Obama has invested billions of taxpayer dollars in private businesses, including as part of his stimulus spending bill. Many of those investments have turned out to be unmitigated disasters — leaving in their wake bankruptcies, layoffs, criminal investigations and taxpayers on the hook for billions. Consider just a few examples of Obama’s public equity failures:"

"The BGOV Barometer shows the default rate on the $16.1 billion Energy Department loan portfolio is less than 3.6 percent. The White House planned for defaults of as much as 12.85 percent for loans to solar, wind and bio-energy projects, according to the Office of Management and Budget. While it’s possible that more companies may fail to meet their obligations, “I’m willing to bet more-than-even money that the default rate, when all is said and done, is under 5 percent,” said Greg Kats, who worked at the Energy Department from 1994 to 2000, including five years as the department’s director of financing for energy efficiency and renewable energy. “I do not see a scenario in which the default rate gets out of single digits,” Kats said in an interview."

I'm not going to bother researching this, but I'm willing to bet that a 3.6% default rate is much better than the average private equity firm.

Quote :

"Mr. Obama embraced a disputed method for counting civilian casualties that did little to box him in. It in effect counts all military-age males in a strike zone as combatants, according to several administration officials, unless there is explicit intelligence posthumously proving them innocent. Counterterrorism officials insist this approach is one of simple logic: people in an area of known terrorist activity, or found with a top Qaeda operative, are probably up to no good. “Al Qaeda is an insular, paranoid organization — innocent neighbors don’t hitchhike rides in the back of trucks headed for the border with guns and bombs,” said one official, who requested anonymity to speak about what is still a classified program. This counting method may partly explain the official claims of extraordinarily low collateral deaths. In a speech last year Mr. Brennan, Mr. Obama’s trusted adviser, said that not a single noncombatant had been killed in a year of strikes. And in a recent interview, a senior administration official said that the number of civilians killed in drone strikes in Pakistan under Mr. Obama was in the “single digits” — and that independent counts of scores or hundreds of civilian deaths unwittingly draw on false propaganda claims by militants. But in interviews, three former senior intelligence officials expressed disbelief that the number could be so low. The C.I.A. accounting has so troubled some administration officials outside the agency that they have brought their concerns to the White House. One called it “guilt by association” that has led to “deceptive” estimates of civilian casualties. “It bothers me when they say there were seven guys, so they must all be militants,” the official said. “They count the corpses and they’re not really sure who they are.”"
