I can't decide if I'm more pissed off at Obama for ...

[11 Bravo]

chaining the CPI, bombing Syria, or appointing Larry Summers to the Fed. And don't even get me started on his total abandonment of the LGBT community. I mean, what has happened for our LGBT brothers and sisters during this administration other than having Rick Warren shoved in their faces?
Damn, what a disappointment!

1. You should probably edit and add that sarcasm thingy.

Nah, more fun if you don't. Disregard.

3. Way more fun

2. I think Obama has done well for our LGBT brothers and sisters,

much more than any other president I very much applaud him for that. I have no disappointment in that area, if they have any disappointment in that area I defer to them and will not fault them for it.

However he has proposed a chained CPI, he wanted to do a missile strike on Syria, and I am grateful that the American people pushed back on that, and Summers is under consideration for the FED. Those things have not happened yet so I have no disappointment there. But every one of those things have been, or are under consideration. So, I would just say I am nervous at this time.

5. "He wanted to do a missile strike on Syria"

Yeah, that's all there was to it. Nothing more. No strategy, no discussions set in motion with Putin 1 year ago.

Just the MSM spin that he's trying to do Bush II.

6. The OP mentioned bombing Syria. I used the words missile strikes.

The OP made no mention of " No strategy, no discussions set in motion with Putin 1 year ago." I responded to what he cited in the OP.

12. THANK YOU

WTF is wrong with these folk who cannot see reality???

[treestar]

4. Anyone who does not abandon Obama over Rick Warren is a homophobe!

Yes, I been called that for not thinking the Warren thing is such a big deal.

So I guess 99% of the world are homophobes, which means that there will be no gay marriage allowed - oh, wait.

10. Damn yellowjackets

Every time some people are having a picnic, those damn swarms of yellow jackets always gather.
They buzz around the fried chicken. Makes it nearly impossible to enjoy a meal.
Its almost as if those bees can't stand for anyone to have just a little bit of a good time.
Its like seeing happy pic-nickers just gets em all up and aggressive.

11. Man, you are stepping in it BIG TIME

I mean the fact that Summers was even on the list of POTENTIAL noms means (to GD on New DU) that he was the nominee! It was as good as done!! The frothing outrage was like, TOOOOTALLY proportionate to how important his nomination as Federal Reserve Chair was. I can think of few issues as important and recognized as who gets considered to possibly be on the list to become chairman of the Federal Reserve!

13. The "frothing outrage"

carefully directed by emails and calls to congress and the White-house, is what kept the odious not-quite nominee, Summers, from becoming the nominee.

I'm glad someone around here is frothing! Viva la Outrage!


(Earlier today I was going to use the word "noms" like you did. I like it!...but "potential noms" is what I look at when I stand in front of my open fridge staring inside)

18. Are we friends now or something? If we are, someone sure as hell forgot to tell me

And probably with damn good reason.

14. Aw, someone's grumpy!

Why aren't you happy like the rest of us about those awful ideas not being fulfilled?

17. I'm curious about how he chained the CPI.

What chain did he pick out for it, and how much did it cost? Was it one of those Run DMC chains?
