No compromise on Simpson. No compromise.
I have about had it. I have hoped for the best from Obama and his administration and settled over and over again for less. The comments from Simpson which demeaned women and degraded those of us who have paid and paid and paid our dues, without so much as an eye blink from Obama, is the last straw from me. If Simpson isn't gone by the weekend, I will give up any hope I have had in Obama. That's it. No more compromises from this voter.

1. Recommended - people have been giving him a pass for several years now...
...because he's a cantankerous coot. Time to shame him and send him on his way.

2. So again, any and everything that comes out of the mouth

of anyone even vaguely associated with this admin is Obama's fault. That man sure is powerful.

And yes, what Simpson said is offensive on a lot of levels, so get angry at him. I imagine this admin might rethink their stance after recognizing the rage out there, but it gets tiresome to see people blaming Obama for something he had absolutely no control over.

Now, ducking. :hide:

5. You have to admit that there's an objective disconnect between this and Shirley Sherrod
I mean, come on.

Don't you think people rightly look around and go:

:wtf:

3. Jeez. You think the President has the power to fire this guy?
He doesn't have a magic wand you know.

4. I'm a woman & I could care less if he said the word tit

Get over yourself. The manufactured anger is ridiculous.
