We're totally doomed.
Obama's plan is presented with the clear intent to destroy Medicare, Social Security, and the American way of life, yet all the usual defenders of the people (e.g. major labor unions, the Congressional Progressive Caucus, and writers like Paul Krugman) back him in this endeavor.

Time to give up.

11. This post brought to you by the ad populum logical fallacy
By that logic, Ronald Reagan was amazing. Instead of amazingly bad.

39. +1000! Which probably closer to reality than that 80% approval as a positive for Obama's
'leadership'.

3. Oh, so that's what he's got in mind for my first born.
She intends to relocate as soon as she can, Canada or maybe Sweden, so maybe her life will be spared.

Just because there are DUers who are not happy with some of his policies does not mean that we are that ignorant.

14. The politicians obviously would rather destroy social security and Medicare (the framework to do so
has been rigorously put in place) rather than scale down the wars and MIC spending and implement an equitable tax scheme wherein those with most of the money (including large corporations) are required to share an income tax burden sufficient for the government to fund its operations, pay its bills, and meet its other obligations rather than continue their 30+-year sucking frenzy at the public welfare teat. Any representative government would not consider doing otherwise, but the fact that our government is not representative surely must be painfully obvious to all. :patriot:

19. I have noticed two OPs from you that consist of amateurish, juvenile sarcasm.
Is this your whole schtick?

Because, speaking as a sarcastic Jew that grew up with sarcasm in his blood and all around him, you kinda suck at it.

You should probably stop.

But it is sarcasm, isn't it? Please tell me it is. Or I might have to go bang my head on a wall.
