Photos of our President fighting the Republicans in our best interests

[SwampG8r]

[msongs]

1. lol "I welcome their hatred"....oooops wrong guy nt

[Safetykitten]

2. " Now watch this default."

[autorank]

3. k*r

[midnight]

4. I'm sure those who have lost their homes find this camaraderie

a bit odd. Anyone know who the guy with the red strip and white shirt is?

[SwampG8r]

6. says ohio state on the shirt

i think its kasich

[DevonRex]

5. Oh you are SO cool.

[SwampG8r]

7. thx you seem nice too

[dionysus]

39. quick! to the dennismobile!

[BlueCaliDem]

8. Unrec'd.

You take a couple of photographs and make up a narrative to suit your p.o.v.

Ever heard of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend"? That's what I see in those photographs.

Even you know Boehner's back is against the wall. And you know he's better than Can'tor as Speaker. He's more willing to work with the President than the ultra-righties.

The TeaBaggers in Congress are chomping at the bit to get Can'tor, their TeaBagger Lancelot, in Boehner's seat, and Can'tor is tickled pink to see the United States default so he can make out like a fucking bandit over the backs of soldiers, women, children, minorities, and the disabled.

I think you're out of line with your post so I've gladly unrec'd you.

[SwampG8r]

9. wow talk about setting up a narrative to suit your views

did you forget the sarcasm smilee?
hilarious

[BlueCaliDem]

27. Hilarious!

At least my take is much more plausible and FAR less paranoid, than yours.

[Fire1]

35. Good one! n/t

[Webster Green]

10. You know what quote comes to mind when I see these photos?

"It's a big club, and you ain't in it". -George Carlin

[global1]

11. Or "Keep Your Friends Close And Your Enemies Closer"....... nt

[chalky]

12. You find it odd because it's rarely seen. It's called "civility".

Would you prefer pistols at dawn?

[Safetykitten]

13. That civility thing really pays the bills. I will tell people that when they have no money, and no

job.

[chalky]

15. Right. But a cage match between the two...oh, yeah, that would fix the problem.

Let's see some pictures of them duking it out. THAT'S how you get things done.

[DevonRex]

16. +1 nt

[EffieBlack]

21. You think the bills are more likely to be paid if the President smacked the Speaker upside the head?

Please explain exactly how that would play out.

[Whisp]

32. that civility thing is driving the baggers nuts

just as nuts as some of you at the thought of the 'friendlyness' here.

but I don't think you get it.

[treestar]

14. Stupidest thing I've seen in a while

You really think they are real friends? That the golf thing was just not merely a set up? That the President should refuse to speak to the speaker and that's going to do some good?

[BlueCaliDem]

28. + 1000 eom

[Arkana]

17. He's not boiling Boehner in lye to strip the flesh from his bones!

TRAAAAAIIIIITOORRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!

[RichGirl]

18. Kill them with kindness....

President Obama mistakingly thinks they are human beings with hearts and souls who can be reasonable. But no...they are reptiles...slithering, slimy souless beings from under the pond beneath the scum. Bohner isn't tan...that's just orange spray paint to cover the grayish brown.

My apologizies to snakes, lizards and such....Bohner, Cantor etc... are not one of you, they are some kind of mutants.

[EffieBlack]

19. Wow-I guess it would be so much better to see the President sticking his tongue out at the Speaker

of the House, or maybe just giving him the finger . . .

Yes, that would make him so much more effective in protecting the interests of the American people . . . and REALLY make me feel so proud . . .

:sarcasm:

[robcon]

20. Proud to be a supporter of this president. I wish Bush had been civil towards Pelosi.

The photos reflect a good person.

[Township75]

22. OUCH!

30. of course not, i mean, unless he's a liberal, why would Obama disrespect him like that?

:wtf:

[Bobbie Jo]

24. You win the Rupert Murdoch Award for Best Pictorial Narrative!

Congrats!

[Sheepshank]

25. Camaraderie or schmoozing salesmanship?

Sometimes deals are made on the golf course.

Your attempt to paint this as an unusual paling around, in the back pockets of, nefarious situation is pathetic.

[Mass]

26. That's not the problem. However, making several speeches saying Boehner is an honest guy is a

problem. And offering to tinker with Social Security and Medicare (in an undescribed way) when it is clear that the GOP is not ready to move one inch is a problem.

[Inuca]

29. You are so right

they should instead make faces at each other while waiting for their parents to come and pick them up from kindergarden.

[Whisp]

31. Obama should have taken the putter and smashed the Orange Boner's head in

now that would be presidential and a pleaser to the crazy ones.

or maybe he should just lock himself up in a Cone of Silence and govern from there

Just have to ask something of you - have you not gone through this life having to just get along. Have you never had a boss you hated but couldn't really go kick him in the nuts or spit in his face, because hell, we need our jobs. have you never had a relative that you would rather avoid but feel obligated to attend family events, etc., for the sake of others and don't pull out a putter and pummel him or her, because, well the rest of the family might get upset.

what world do/did some of you live in? I don't get this at all.

[SwampG8r]

33. boehner is the boss?

that seems to be what you are saying for comparison
i never sat laughing and drinking with anyone i barely tolerate and i save MY backpatting for those who deserve it not those who intend me harm

[Whisp]

36. no, thats not what I am saying. forgetaboutit.

thick

[lumpy]

34. Nothing new about this sort of political maneuvering.

It's all part of the game.

[Whisp]

37. you would have to find this one odd as well:

along with hundreds of others where Hillary and bill consort with the evil spawn of all known satans.
I guess you aren't a PUMA, thats at least worth a point or two for you.

[SwampG8r]

49. i do not know the context of that photo

when and under what circumstances it was taken
for all i know clinton is gov of ark in it and newtie is a state senator from neighboring georgia
context makes a big difference

i know an awful lot about the pics i posted

40. Yes, it'd be much better if he

held his breath across the aisle from the R's over their dueling ideologies to see who falls out first while nothing gets done.

But the optics would be really pretty!

[gopbasher12]

41. When will Obama grasp that they HATE him?

He is wasting his time.

[lunatica]

42. Well fuck civility and trying to reason with the opposition!!!!

You want BLOOOOOD!

44. OP served with a dollop 'o sarcasm. nt

[dionysus]

45. more like a bitter sauce...

[Tx4obama]

46. Unrec.

I guess you have never heard of all the business dealings that take place on the golf course?

And if Obama didn't reach out and try to be nice then we'd be hearing even more bashing of Obama from the GOP saying that Obama never extends a friendly hand out to the republicans.

You can't have it both ways.

[SwampG8r]

50. thought we were going to do it different when we elected him

not so much though i guess

[Tx4obama]

53. Not really sure what you mean.

Since the House has a republican majority, Obama has to deal with them.

It would be different if the dems had control of both the Senate and the House, but we do not.

Obama is not a dictator, he has to get all folks to agree before anything gets done.

What did you think Obama would/could do differently in order to get the republican House to negotiate with him?

[SwampG8r]

54. so business as usual then?

[Tx4obama]

55. Explain what you mean, in more detail.

Do you mean that you thought that when Obama was elected he would never have to talk/negotiate with the republicans anymore?

Do you realize that there are three branches of government and President Obama has control of only the Executive Branch?
And the House is controlled by the Republicans.
Congress - both the House and Senate - must pass bills before Obama can sign them

Obama is not a dictator which means he has to work with the House and the Senate in order to get the things he wants done.

[SwampG8r]

58. we were misinformed during the election

that the "old way of doing things was over"
no more smokey back rooms
no more golf courses
no more fuck the people secret deals

[Pisces]

47. You seem familiar.

[SwampG8r]

51. probably seen me here in the most of 4 years i have been here

you are a complete stranger to me however
nice to meet you

[lumpy]

48. Florida. Thought so.
