How dare he? How dare that upstart Obama have the temerity to

[cali]

think he can pick his own cabinet and other appointed positions?

Who the hell does the man think he is? President of the United States?

[AlCzervik]

1. And why isn't everything fixed yet??!!!

[niyad]

2. honestly!!! doesn't he know that he doesn't have a mandate, doesn't have the majority in congress

and doesn't have the approval of the repukes??? I mean, how audacious of him!!

[Marsala]

3. Hey, we have the right to second-guess *every* President's cabinet picks!

More importantly, there's not much else to discuss right now.

[rcrush]

4. How do I unvote?!

[Shoelace]

5. Faux new; "and he didn't even announce his sec. of Treasury yet"!

for shame Obama, Faux News has repeated that statement about a dozen times now.
Media pundits are a bunch of control freaks!

[Ozma]

9. DId Faux say that already? I would believe it! I would never want to

see or read what they said for real anymore.... leave it to them to say something STUPID like that.

[Ishoutandscream2]

6. Time to draw up articles of impeachment!!

Right fucking now!!!

7. a representative democracy

This is a representative democracy, not a dictatorship.

I would hope and trust that he thinks he is a public servant, and that he would listen to all of us and that we all continue to speak out without fearing being called disloyal.

[cali]

8. obviously he's not going to listen to all of us

on such things as cabinet appointments. He was elected to make those decisions himself, not poll the public on said decisions. He was elected to exercise his best judgment. Don't like it? Vote him out in 4 years. That's what it means to live in a representative system. The reference to a dictatorship is wholly gratuitous.

And express your opinions all you wish. I reserve MY right to poke fun at whatsoever I wish.

[POAS]

11. You poke girl...er guy...whatever!

[Two Americas]

15. love it or leave it then, I guess

So that is the sum total of participating in a representative democracy? "Vote him out?" The opposition, the right wing does not see things that way. Why should we cripple ourselves?

Poke fun all you wish, and I will express my rebuttals to that. You are asking people to not express their opinions - certain opinions with which you disagree - and to trust and not criticize our leaders, so it is entirely appropriate to characterize that as attempted suppression of free speech and also as asking us to embrace a feature of dictatorships - blind obedience to a leader.

[Connie_Corleone]

10. It's been 4 DAYS!! Where's the CHANGE he promised??

:crazy:

[jonnyblitz]

12. man you are all in for a long miserable time if you all are freaking

out this badly over every criticism of him already. How many threads are you going to start today screeching about it? it's barely even begun. :D

[MadMaddie]

13. Ummm...everyone is being sarcastic.

It's the right wing nut jobs that are so used to * making a decision on a dime that they can't comprehend a thinking President Elect.

[cali]

14. I'm having fun poking fun at the idiot reactionaries.

(not you, of course)

:hi:

[Occam Bandage]

16. OPEACH NOW! HOLD HIM O-CCOUNTABLE!
