Chris Matthews just showed video of OUR President

[TheDebbieDee]

beating Clark Kellogg in a game of P-O-T-U-S.

While he was wearing ugly wing-tipped shoes.

And a tie!

Is there nothing this man cannot do?

[frazzled]

1. He can't bowl ...

Just saying ;)

[NanceGreggs]

4. And that will be his undoing ...

"Show me a man who can't bowl, and I'll show you a man who - uh, can't bowl."

;-)

[ChicagoSuz219]

7. He kept the WH bowling alley & has been practicing.

I'd bet he can bowl now!

[Orsino]

36. God help us. n/t

[givemebackmycountry]

2. He needs serious help throwing a baseball on opening day...

He damn near threw the opening pitch into the first row at the Nat's game today.
He's a lefty so I'll give him some slack.

He can sink a 3 pointer so it don't matter.
He's cool with me.

[LiberalFighter]

3. Being a lefty shouldn't matter. If he was a righty he probably wouldn't throw well either.

Different motions are needed for different sports. And Obama spent more time in basketball.

[Cetacea]

10. His wind up looks good. Delivery? Not so much....

[Xenotime]

39. I'd like to see you do better....

[MadHound]

5. Apparently he can't stop a war, or close GITMO, or protect the environment,

But hey, the man's got a dreamy fifteen foot jumper, right:eyes:

[noamnety]

8. +1 (nt)

[Mari333]

38. +2

[Tarheel_Dem]

12. And he'll still be president tomorrow, and you won't. Snarking on an

anonymous website is so much easier than running a country, huh?

17. I think the last person that ran a cover like this got banned. I'll leave it

to the mods.

[MadHound]

19. Oh, I don't know,

Being CinC means that he can turn those troops around and get them out of Afghanistan. Instead, he doubled down on that illegal, immoral war instead, and that was pretty easy, simply making up one's mine and signing a few pieces of paper.

[Tarheel_Dem]

27. It's spelled "mind". Did he promise you that something that I don't know about?

Read Frank Rich's Sunday piece. I love it when you guys try to revise history.

[Toasterlad]

29. See Post #23. You Apparently Don't Know About That.

He also promised a public option.

[Tarheel_Dem]

31. "He also promised a public option." Did he really "promise" ?

Perhaps you should rethink that meme? Are you an honest person, or are you a liar?

"When the 2008 Obama called Afghanistan an essential war and vowed to take out terrorist havens in Pakistan, he wasn’t just posturing to prove he was as hawkish as Hillary Clinton — which is what some chose to hear. Though he nominally supported a public option as a plank of health care reform, it was not a high priority and he rarely mentioned it, according to a review of his campaign speeches, interviews and debates by Sam Stein of The Huffington Post. Obama never said anything to suggest that he was interested in economic interventionism as bold as, say, the potential nationalization of failing banks. He was unambiguous in his professed opposition to same-sex marriage and largely silent on gun control. And as Jake Tapper of ABC News chronicled last week, Obama had even opened the door to offshore oil drilling in the weeks before Election Day."


Frank Rich piece:http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/04/opinion/04rich.html?pagewanted=1

Read the entire piece, it'll shed new light on some things you may have conveniently forgotten.

[Toasterlad]

32. It's Good Enough To Rate As a Broken Promise On Politifact.Com

http://politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/promise/518/create-public-option-health-plan-new-national-heal/

Of course, THEY look at things objectively, and not through rose-colored Obamaspecks, so I have no doubt that you'll discount their interpretation. A creative person who doesn't care about the spirit of words can find excuses for every one of Obama's broken promises.


And I noticed you didn't even try to defend Obama's abysmal GLBT record (as if anyone could). Looks like you've just chosen to ignore it. Not surprising.

[Tarheel_Dem]

33. I can honestly say that it's not an issue that keeps me up nights.

Marriage, whether straight or gay, doesn't appeal to me personally. If straight marriage were banned tomorrow, it wouldn't mean a hill of beans to me. Likewise, if gay marriage were passed, same thing. Those of us who were actually paying attention knew that this president never EVER supported gay marriage, but let's not quibble about reality.

There are LGBT advocates at DU who use this issue to attack this president on every other issue. I just frankly don't care anymore. See ya! It's time to have my "rose colored Obamaspecks" updated.

[Toasterlad]

34. Nice Of You To Dismiss Equality So Easily.

I suppose you felt as dismissive of the civil rights of African Americans, as well.

Actually, before Obama ran for President, he said he DID support same-sex marriage. But let's not quibble about lying.

Your lack of interest in the rights of others is noted.

[Tarheel_Dem]

42. And nice of you to be so over-the-top. You're either with us, or against us?

Is that it? I'm afraid you've allowed yourself to become reactionary, and utterly uninteresting to me. See ya.

[Toasterlad]

43. Um...Yeah. You're Either For Gay Equality, Or You're Not.

The fact that you don't give a shit either way places you right in the "not" camp.

[Toots]

20. And Bush* and Cheney and Rove and Feith and Pearle, etc will all still be free and bragging

And America will suffer for it many more times..Justice should not be ignored..

[Toasterlad]

24. Yeah, That Was a Perfectly Well-Reasoned Response.

You can't criticize the President unless you've been President. I guess the Bushes, Clinton, and Carter are the only ones qualified to disagree with Obama.

[noamnety]

40. Yep - and none of us should have been criticizing Bush

on DU when he was president (using the same logic as the person you were responding to). Us commoners need to learn our place! :)

[Myrina]

21. +1000

:applause:

[Toasterlad]

23. Or Be a "Fierce Advocate" For GLBT Rights

[Poll_Blind]

44. I'm an Obama supporter but I got no magic against those facts.

Fair deuce.

PB

[Dr.Phool]

6. Kellogg took a dive.

[VMI Dem]

9. Support gay marriage?

Can't seem to do that.

[Tarheel_Dem]

11. Did any presidential candidate support gay marriage? Just sayin'.

[VMI Dem]

13. Thats an awesome defense for bigotry.

Rock on.

[Tarheel_Dem]

16. And your snark is a great cover for idiocy. Want gays to be able to marry?

There's a primary in a few years. I'll support you in that endeavor. Let's see if you can muster more than the 0.5% that Dennis Kucinich got. Don't you think it's finally time for a pro gay marriage candidate to put up, or shut up? Take a risk, announce your candidacy, if you think you can do it better.

[unapatriciated]

45. This is an equal rights issue and should have never been on any ballot.

If civil rights had been on the ballot we would still have laws today (in some states ) against interracial marriages.

edited for grammar since you like to correct spelling. I'm sure there are still some errors

[Toasterlad]

25. Dennis Kucinich Did

[Tarheel_Dem]

26. And what percentage of the primary vote did Dennis get? No real contender

supported "marriage". They all came out in favor of civil unions, even John Edwards.

30. Like I said, you should run then. I'm sure everyone here would support..

you to the hilt.

[Toasterlad]

35. Doubtful.

Apparently, you can't even point out that not supporting equality is the same as bigotry here without having your post deleted. There are far too many people like you who don't give a shit how Obama treats other people as long as he's got that "D" after his name. That is literally ALL you care about.

[Skittles]

14. he can't quit smoking

alright I'm addicted to nicotine gum but I DID quit smoking :D

[cliffordu]

18. I USED one of those nicotine inhalers for a year after I quit....

I wanted to eat the goddammed nicotine-carrying filters inside the thing but the wife wouldn't let me. So I chewed the tables.


Hey, Skittles, howareya??

[Skittles]

37. aw, doing OK cliffordu

hanging in there :D

[lame54]

22. Bowl
