1. I thought it was going to be Obama.

2. Rec+ 1000

[MrScorpio]

3. Nope. When I last checked, President Obama was a member of the DEMOCRATIC Party

Otherwise, he'd be running on the Republican ticket.

[nineteen50]

4. He ought to act like it. Are you saying we have two different parties?

[MrScorpio]

5. Please don't level that ridiculous assertion that there's no difference between the parties

And rather than just blaming Obama for things that you disagree with, it would behoove you to understand that just about ANYONE who inhabits the Oval Office is pretty much bound to exercise power in a way that a lot of people are going to disagree with.

It's the nature of the beast.

7. So, even if he acted like a Democrat, there would be people that would disagree with him.

I can see that. :shrug:

11. That's absolutely correct...

Because there would always be Democrats on either the left or right of any issue the would feel that they'd have to voice an objection or criticism.

Notice that I didn't caveat those objections and criticisms as either warranted or unwarranted. That's all up to debate.

The mere fact that the man is in the Oval Office and he makes decisions, not just on his own policies, but on law and precedent as well, denotes that the job guarantees that a lot of people aren't going to be satisfied with his performance. No matter who you have as president, he or she will never meet all expectations.

The only thing that I'm positive of is that, under any circumstance, Republicans must be kept out the White House. They're always wrong.

And the hardest job, the one where we never succeed at... To get as many GOPers out of Congress, always seems to take a back burner to our detriment.

Which makes it silly to heap all the scorn on a Democratic president with one are perpetually tied behind his back.

14. LMFAO... Ridiculous?

Really? People are suffering. There are no jobs. There's no money, people don't have health care, and what is congress doing about it? Both Republicans and Democrats? Voting on In God We Trust.

Not only is there very little difference between the two parties, notice I said very little, because the Dems at least attempt to throw us a bone once in awhile, but I don't see any politician actually doing their job. If they worked in the private sector they would all be fucking fired by now.

Our government is a fucking joke, on both sides. Now I would agree that the Republicans are much further off the deep end than Democrats but is that what we have been reduced to? At least we are better than the selfish greedy fascists on the other side of the isle?

That my friend, is what is ridiculous.

[MrScorpio]

15. If you feel that way, why the hell are you posting on a website named "Democratic Underground"?

Where the hell are you coming from?

[JuniperLea]

12. I'm going to save us both a lot of trouble by putting you on ignore right now...

But no worries, your concerns are duly noted.

[sharp_stick]

6. Shit that didn't take long

I swear some people do nothing but troll all day looking for spots to make this idiotic allegation.

[SammyWinstonJack]

8. ...

:evilgrin:

[JuniperLea]

13. Yeah...

:evilgrin:

[Inuca]

9. Not funny. And stupid

Apologies in advance for name calling, but I cannot think of a better way to put it. Sorry.
