I'm upset at Obama for turning right.
He should have turned left.

Why didn't he turn left?

That big fat idiot should have turned left.

SHUT UP AND LISTEN! HE SHOULD HAVE TURNED LEFT!

Now pull over so I can call my son, Sylvester.

He'll know what to do.



SYLVESTEEEEEER!

1. I think he should have turned in a sub-spacial quantum direction. nt

16. You loved Obama when he headlined a gay basher.
Oh how the worm has turned.

3. Its just " A MAD, MAD, MAD, WORLD " isn't it?...... I'm coming mommy!
Now look! We've figured it seventeen different ways, and each time we figured it, it was no good, because no matter how we figured it, somebody don't like the way we figured it! So now, there's only one way to figure it. And that is, every man, including the old bag, for himself!

27. He has stirred up trouble he didn't need to make.
Yes, he'll be fine.

But this time of year in a campaign, he's better off making errors of omission rather than ones of comission.

I worked at high levels in presidential campaigns.

He should go sit on the beach for a couple of weeks.

So, YOU shut up.

31. Yeah, Obama needs to take a vacation and stop campaigning.
I'm sure the progress he's made making inroads into McCain's base will be fine on their own.

:eyes:

Which campaign did you work for? Lyndon LaRouche?

4. If you were paying attention
you would have known he was always slighty to the right. He was not my first choice for that reason however I support him now without regrets. He will win and win big.

5. I think that's the directions to the White House
"You go up here about 4 blocks and then turn right and it will be up ahead there on your left."

12. Why didn't he turn left?
Let's see...cause he's not stupid. Because he wants to win the election.

Reality check: I love Kucinich. But, let's remember he was only in the single digits AMONG DEMOCRATS. Why would Obama go in that direction???? Unless of course he's got a great concession speech and can't wait to use it!

20. Wrong. What's stupid is to undermine your own values.
Edited on Mon Jul-07-08 03:55 PM by ClassWarrior
The losing strategy is to move to the right, to assume with Republicans that American values are mainly conservative and that the Democratic party has to move away from its base and adopt conservative values. When you do that, you help activate conservative values in people’s brains (thus helping the other side), you offend your base (thus hurting yourself), and you give the impression that you are expressing no consistent set of values, which is true! Why should the American people trust somebody who does not have clear values, and who may be trying to deceive them about the values he and his party’s base hold?...

14. One of the funniest movies ever filmed...
...and that citing of Buddy Hackett's “the old bag” line is killer. Knowing ol' Buddy and his “blue” tendencies, I'd pay a hundred bucks to see and hear the outtakes of that scene.

God, so much funny stuff. Jonathan Winters' gas station demolition, and Jerry Lewis's assholish evil in driving over Spencer Tracy's hat. Not to mention Dick Shawn's madcap turn as ‘Junior”. “I'm comin' to save ya, ma!” indeed. :)

But just to show you Obama WILL turn left when needed, I present to following photographic evidence...



Yes, he'll do it for the kids. :)

19. It he turns right two more times, that will be the equivalent of a left.

If you really love Dick Shawn, see "Evil Roy Slade", also starring that comic genius John Astin...

28. I don't think Obama turned right
He moved a bit to the center, that's all.

29. He didn't even do that. During the primary, the RW painted him as...
Edited on Mon Jul-07-08 05:48 PM by ClassWarrior
..."the most liberal Senator in Congress," despite the fact that he has a very moderate record. Now that he's elaborating on his positions, they're claiming he's "moved to the center." Clever narrative, but totally fabricated.
