Absolutely nothing will come of it. The best shot we have is someone, I think he is from South Carolina is trying to organize a constitutional convention but he will need 38 states to even have a prayer. That is a lot of states. The problem is the November elections are so far away and Americans are just plain stupid. This will be long in their rear view mirror by then and while the GOP may get control back it won't be veto proof and alas, we are stuck with this steaming pile of wasted trees and buffalo crap.:cuss:
i know this has been brought up before, but i cant help myself. what do you want? a gov that governs by polls? i thought the horror of clinton and the beauty of w was their view of polls? would you prefer a true democracy? we have a republic. the system is in place and there are rules. politicians are elected and then they make laws. if they break the rules there are consequences. so, yes, basically you have to vote them out. or support some sort of revolution or find a country with a system you like better.
You make a decent point. A large part of the problem is the arrogance of this administration. It doesn't set well with a lot of mod-servatives. At least act like you give a damn what the people are saying.
Yeah, but the same people who challenge this administration on its ideas, and legislation are the same people that question Obama's citizenship, patriotism, religion, pretty much call him Hitler. Damn i wouldn't want to work those people either. About the worst thing i can remember people calling Bush was a monkey (and maybe some swear words, but damn my wife calls me all that stuff that is nothing). And Cheney Darth Vader, and i'm sure in some way Cheney probably thought that was a compliment. It's like when your kid wants to do something, but comes to you in a rage, and throws a fit about it. Well screw that, you just pissed me off by the way you are acting i am not going to listen, i will tell you no.
The only recent administration that wasn't arrogant was Jimmy Carter, who was too modest for the job. Arrogance seems to come hand in hand with confidence, assertiveness, and resolve. Men with these traits tend to rise to the top. Arrogance is a characteristic that we have long had to live with from the occupant of The White House.
The arrogance of Obama is grating. It's an attitude of superiority over the people he represents and serves. He was not elected King, but he acts like he was. He's a cocky little SOB with an attitude that would get his ass kicked anywhere else. Edit: Except around Muslim leaders where he's a subservient oaf.
You see what you want to see. You hear what you want to hear . . . Got an example of him being cocky? Like telling Al Qaeda to "bring it on" or "I'm the decider"? Of course, that was The One Sabanfan Cannot Name, not Obama. Or McCain singing "Bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran"? Clinton and Reagan were cocky all the time.
You must have missed the edition of Real Time where Bill Mahrer began a sentence,"the big difference between Bush and Hussein is that one has killed a million people-" and one of his guests (it may have been Kanye West) cut him off and finished "and the other is Saddam Hussein." How did the audience full of good little tolerant, peace-loving liberals react to someone calling their president a mass murderer? Wild cheers. Obama hasn't caught nearly the hatred and vitriol that W withstood for the last 5 years of his presidency.
