And delusional too. Most people are smart enough to take either letter behind a statement with a grain of salt.
Sorry there are some republicans that actually want to represent the best interests of the people and not the interests of special interests and some democrats that are building their nest egg at the expense of the people who elected them | |

President's Obama's insight does make me wonder if he is not super human.
Ya know, I am constantly telling my Christian friends that Barack Hussein Obama is NOT the antichrist, just playing for the same team... but when I see stuff like this, it really makes me wonder... The bible does say the Anti-Christ will eventually declare himself to be a God... I don't see how he could do that unless people view him as "super human"... | |

| Obama's latest approval ratings. Posted: 8/7/2009 6:48:12 AM | I think it's kinda a double standard that Candidate Obama told his supporters in 2008 to quote "Argue with your friends and neighbors and get in their face!" And when the American people go to these town hall meetings over health care and do just that, they are labeled as right wing extremists.
Here is a video(s) of Candidate Obama telling his supporters to argue with friends and neighbors and get in their face.

What is even more interesting is what Peloski had to say about the people at the town hall meetings. There has been no pictures or videos of anyone at these meetings that showed any swastikas or similar symbols being carried into the town hall meetings. (Can anyone show where this is true up to and prior to Peloski's comment.) I have been pretty much the fence with this lady. I am wondering if she just fell off some fence like Humpty Dumpty if she saw swastikas at any of the town hall meetings.

Why sure
http://thinkprogress.org/2009/08/07/pelosi-swastikas/
The intent of these displays is to portray Obama as Hitler and his proposals as fascist, and they seem to be following the lead of many right-wing pundits. Just yesterday, Limbaugh said, “Adolf Hitler, like Barack Obama, also ruled by dictate.” Fox News host Glenn Beck — an inspiration for many of these town hall attendees — has said “fascism is on the rise.” Even Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) has talked about the increasing danger in America of “true fascism.”
And the right wingers march on like the gestapo, believing limbaugh and beck to be their supreme propagandists. Just like hitler's Goebbel, spreading lies and fear. | |

Is this what Nancy is talking about? After hearing Nancy's comment I was beginning to think that the right wingers had gone a bit over board. I expected to see videos, or pictures of Swastika flags, and emblems on clothing and signs evident throughout the meetings.
She says that the people at the meetings are "carrying swastikas and symbols like that to a town meeting on healthcare." (Plural which means more than 1). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAfNlhxuAFw Yet what I see is one person with a fairly confusing sign with a swastika. In looking at this picture I find the sign a bit confusing to say the least. Even the article seems to be confused by the meaning of the sign.
Post 37 I have a feeling you only hit the tip of the iceberg on the Bush demonstrations. I myself saw some were they cremated him in even worse ways.
Obama's spending has gotten to many people. People. young and old, Democrats, Republicans and the in between. Some of these are the same people who not only voted for Obama but worked in some ways to get him elected, like me. This is not the change I voted for.
Currently Obama seems to be holding at 53 to 54 approval rating at http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president_obama_job_approval-1044.html | |

Well you did give a .......enough to post the Obama Joker picture. So that's a bit confusing to me. On one hand you let all of us know about all about the Obama Joker poster. But then "you don't care either way" when confronted with the fact that the Bush (W) Joker picture came before the Obama Joker poster.
Hey, I like both of the President Joker pictures.
And yes, if what Pelosi said is true and a Media figure/network lied about it, then yes that is very outrageous to me. The job of the media is to broadcast the story in it's whole form. It's very unfortunate that we have a media system that pit's Americans of different political ideologies against each other by skewing the stories that they broadcast.
Both President Joker pictures and the Nazi/Hitler comparisons that the left and the right have used when protesting do not offend me personally. That's just our beloved freedom of speech working. | |

| Obama's latest approval ratings. Posted: 8/7/2009 11:28:56 AM | I think they are great too... sorry folks...
However... If you had GW Bush in "Black Face" you would be talking about a Racist image.
"Black Face " and Joker are not the same....The problem is the Joker or White face takes on a lot of racial history with Obama ......... not the same as the joker.... I bet a lot racist see it that way...
Pelois stated a fact, it has been spun as a lie..............
edit
Like someone wants me to believe there has only been ONE..... Swastika ............ Sure....

| Obama's latest approval ratings. Posted: 8/7/2009 12:29:00 PM | Just got this in my email. I cant remember registering for Moveon. I am registered with the Democratic party and various organizations to get Obama into office.
Dear MoveOn member, It's getting ugly out there.
All across the country, right-wing extremists are disrupting congressional town-hall meetings with venomous attacks on President Obama's plans for health care and clean energy. Last night in Tampa, Florida, a town hall meeting erupted into violence, with the police being called to break up fist fights and shoving matches.1 A Texas Democrat was shouted down by right-wing hecklers, many of whom admitted they didn't even live in his district.2 One North Carolina representative announced he wouldn't be holding any town-hall meetings after his office began receiving death threats.3 And in Maryland, protesters hung a Democratic congressman in effigy to oppose health-care reform.4 We've got a plan to fight back against these radical right-wingers. We've hired skilled grassroots organizers who are working with thousands of local volunteers to show Congress that ordinary Americans continue to support President Obama's agenda for change. And we're building new online tools to track events across the country and make sure MoveOn members turn out at each one. But we need to scale up our efforts quickly to make sure this plan works. To really swing into action during this month's congressional recess, we need to raise at least $250,000 immediately. Can you chip in $35 to support our work?
https://pol.moveon.org/donate/august.html?id=16750-16044665-i0VQHwx&t=1 If the shouts of the right-wing mobs are the only voices our senators and representatives hear over the recess, we'll have a hard time passing health care and clean energy legislation.
That's why we're launching our Heat Up Congress campaign so quickly to fight back, using new technology to implement rapid response town hall turnout, organizing personal phone calls from small business leaders and donors to their representatives, running new ads, and activating an energized network of on-the-ground organizers and volunteers.
This month could decide the future of health care and clean energy in America—and we're already one week in. If you've been sitting on the sidelines, now's the time to get involved. Talk to your neighbors, go to a town hall meeting—and today, please chip in $35 to support our work:
https://pol.moveon.org/donate/august.html?id=16750-16044665-i0VQHwx&t=2 Thanks for all you do.

| Obama's latest approval ratings. Posted: 8/7/2009 11:18:41 PM | Just saw this while checking my email:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20090806/ts_alt_afp/uspoliticsobama_20090806123511.
Here's a few juicy tidbits:
WASHINGTON, Aug 6, 2009 (AFP) – US President Barack Obama's approval rating has slumped to 50 percent, the lowest since his inauguration, according to a poll released Thursday on the eve of his 200th day in office.
Quinnipiac University said the president's job approval rating dipped to 50 percent, versus 42 percent who disapprove -- a reflection of growing unease over Obama's handling of the economy, which sank into a devastating recession last year prompting his administration to unleash a deficit-stretching stimulus package, and health care which faces a critical overhaul in Congress.
"The president is right on the magic 50-percent threshold in public approval because of bad grades on the economy and even worse grades on health care," said Peter Brown, assistant director of Quinnipiac's Polling Institute.
"The good news... is that American voters still see him as better able to handle the economy and health care than Republicans in Congress," Brown said. "The bad news is his margins are shrinking."
another aspect of the poll:
By 46-37 percent, respondents said Obama himself acted "stupidly" in the dispute, and by a margin of 62-26 percent they said Obama should not have intervened at all. | |

You're confusing what they said. These people carry swastikas alright. With images of Obama beside them, implying apparently that universal health care is a Nazi policy. They're not accusing the Republicans of being Nazis, but of being far right wacko's who don't even understand the goals of whats going on here, or have any interested in even understanding other views.
Hell the entire point of this astro turf movement is to prevent ANYBODY from learning.

Just another way for those who have nothing of value to say to show their intellectual level.
In my opinion this is disorderly conduct and should be treated as such, these are meetings where those without a real arguement just shout to disrupt the meeting, it's not freedom of speech, it's a mob preventing freedom of speech | |

"Black Face " and Joker are not the same....The problem is the Joker or White face takes on a lot of racial history with Obama ......... not the same as the joker.... I bet a lot racist see it that way... Not sure what you're talking about here...that Obama should be defending Bush? Because afterall, they both are 'more' white than black? You do realize, Obama is more Caucasion than Black, right? Or, do you simply view him as Black?
In my opinion this is disorderly conduct and should be treated as such And in 'your' opinion, what is "disorderly conduct"? And, just 'how' would you 'treat' disorderly conduct? (HINT: please don't say by 'getting together and having a beer'.)
In terms of his ratings...Obama will be a one-termer and lame duck the second two years of his Presidency...Thank Gawd!

Strange that many never protested any of the things said by Anti Bush, Anti Hillary and Anti Palin people.
It really seems strange that the media and people let all of these images just slide on though yet Obama is to remain untarnished. I am so tired of Obama people pointing fingers as if they have done no wrongs. Just because people are using their first admentment to voice objections against current policies it is wrong. Yet it was not wrong under the Bush administration. | |

| Obama's latest approval ratings. Posted: 9/6/2009 8:50:22 PM | Looks like Obama's honeymoon is over and its the worst honeymoon of any president since polls were started. Chalk up another record for Obama to break. I have a feeling there will be many more records for him to break.
<div class="quote">The result is the Obama slide, the most important feature of the current moment. The number of Americans who trust President Obama to make the right decisions has fallen by roughly 17 percentage points. Obama’s job approval is down to about 50 percent. All presidents fall from their honeymoon highs, but, in the history of polling, no newly elected American president has fallen this far this fast. http://www.daytondailynews.com/opinion/columnists/david-brooks-obama-must-shift-policies-back-to-political-center-277882.html?cxtype=ynews_rss | |

The biggest indication of Obama's upcoming problems aren't where his ratings stand, those have been manipulated every which way, but how consistantly they have fallen. That won't be spinable in the closing months 'fore the holidays. | |

| Obama's latest approval ratings. Posted: 9/8/2009 5:58:09 AM | Every president has slipped in the polls... who the heck cares? He's been in office what? 8 months?
if the GOP would only work in a bipartisan fashion we might actually get something done that is in the best interests of the country but, that is not their agenda...
time to leave the GOP theocracy behind and if they don't want to be part of the solution then leave them behind...
the GOP had 20 of the prior 28 years in the presidency and 14 of the prior 16 years with control of the congress... and we've had 7 of 9 supreme court justices put in place by GOP presidents... result... absolute disaster! will the GOP take ANY portion of responsibility... absolutely not... it's always the democrats fault... it's always the unpatriotic liberals... BALONEY. it's time to leave the GOP behind and move forward for the good of the country. | |
