Any anti-Obama Democrats still out there?

[Aristus]

Still upset that President Obama didn't take the whole country out for ice cream?

Wake up and look around, will you?

President Obama is the leader we should have had twenty years ago. Bill Clinton (whom I still admire greatly), but without the messy personal issues. A leader with amazing grace.

[Gman]

1. Theu keep a low profile in good times like this

Until After the euphoria wears off.

[Bernie 2016]

2. They're afraid to respond

and then get kicked out of here and everywhere.

[sheshe2]

3. Well yes.

Works the same in the Bernie Group as well.

Aristus asked a rhetorical question in our group, for our group.

Have a nice night.

[Cha]

14. Boo Hoo.. yes this is the Barack Obama Group and we're his supporters. You have to whole board

to whine about him.

[Maedhros]

27. Brave words, in a protected group. [n/t]

[Cha]

37. Yeah, he's so "brave". rofl

[sheshe2]

4. Two men. Amazing Grace.

[TheProgressive]

5. Well, Bill Clinton signed NAFTA, repealed Glass-Steagall, and TeleCom act...

Mr. Obama will push thru TPP.

It is great that there is now marriage equality and Obamacare passed another court action.

But, you see, the oligarchs don't give a fuck about the marriage equality decision, and Obamacare is
just another give-a-way to the barbaric health insurance 'industry' (yes, insuring more Americans is awesome).

The TPP is the final nail. With the passage of TPP, the United States relinquishes sovereignty to the global corporate oligarchy. And Americans will suffer.

So, 'anti-Obama' - fuck yes. Passing the TPP, just like Clinton's NAFTA will be the end of the United States.

I hope to be proven wrong, but the only trade policy that benefits all Americans is a tariff system.

6. You are posting in the Barack Obama Group.

Delete this.

[TheProgressive]

8. The question was asked...and I answered...

My position is that we need *real* democrats. I think President Obama has performed exactly like President Clinton.

Both have done great things for America - and both have none bad things for America and Americans.

Honest. Truth. And my desire for a more perfect union....

[sheshe2]

10. I was just writing to them to block.

You beat me.

Thanks greataunt

[greatauntoftriplets]

11. You're welcome.

The doubling down did it.

[sheshe2]

13. ha.

yup, some love to double down, bless their hearts.

[greatauntoftriplets]

15. LOL.

[freshwest]

36. Thanks, Great Aunt! n/t

[sheshe2]

9. Take your comments the hell out of the

Barack Obama Group. Trust me, there are plenty of Obama hate threads in GD. Go join them. They will welcome you with open arms.

We are a group not a forum. Read our mission statement.

Ya know something? I am so sick of the word 'oligarchs' being tossed out in every friggin sentence. Learn a word a day and use it in every way. Ya'll sure do. Noun and a verb.

I was going to block you. A host beat me to it.

Bye.

[Cha]

19. I know, she.. "oligarchs.." "Obamacare.. scam.. insurance giveaway.." like they had

a hint of clue what they're talking about.

Their only purpose is to disrupt with disingenuous whining.

[sheshe2]

20. I was writing that post when gaot blocked them.

I always give a warning Cha, this time I was not going to.

I am sick and tired of them repeating ad nauseum "oligarchs". Hey, they need some new material, their talking points are getting old.

[Cha]

17. Obamacare is helping Millions of People and saving lives. It's pathetic that there are those

ignorantly and anonymously going around the internet trashing without a freaking clue what they're talking about.

No more worries about Pre-existing Conditions, either! Too bad that really bothers some people..

[greatauntoftriplets]

22. A friend had two cataract surgeries last winter, thanks to Obamacare.

She'd had to stop driving and take time off a job that doesn't provide insurance because her vision had become so bad. The pre-existing condition thing is a godsend to millions of us.

[Cha]

28. So happy for your friend, greataunt! It does mean so much to millions of people's lives.. their

life and their livelihood!

[greatauntoftriplets]

29. She was thrilled.

Her old job disappeared after 2007 - 2008. She now works three part-time jobs, but the lack of insurance made life difficult for her.

[Cha]

30. I can so imagine!

[freshwest]

34. Yes, but *those people* aren't important. Play that fiddle, Cha! n/t

[SleeplessinSoCal]

23. listen to Marc Maron conversation on WTF podcast

http://potus.wtfpod.com/podcast/episodes/episode_613_-_president_barack_obama/

[freshwest]

35. Oh, thanks! Great picture. I think I missed the podcast, though. n/t

[treestar]

25. The TPP NAFTA bogeyman again

as soon as I see people droning on about the oligarchs I know we're back in CT territory.

[Tarheel_Dem]

26. Like flies to flypaper. Thank Gawd for ignore.

[Thinkingabout]

7. The man who came in and cleaned up after W is one hellva guy.

[sheshe2]

12. Thanks for the heads up.

GAOT beat me to it.

[Cha]

16. It's been a brilliant week, Aristus.. Mahalo! "Ten Days in June"

snip//

What a series of days in American life, full of savage mayhem, uncommon forgiveness, resistance to forgiveness, furious debate, mourning, and, finally, justice and grace. As President Obama led thousands of mourners in Charleston, South Carolina, in “Amazing Grace,” I thought about late 2013 and early 2014. Obama’s Presidency was surely dwindling, if not finished. His mood was sombre, philosophical—which is good if you are a philosopher; if not, not.

Obama described himself to me then in terms of his limits—as “a relay swimmer in a river full of rapids, and that river is history.” More than a few columnists believed that Obama was now resigned to small victories, at best. But pause to think of what has happened, the scale of recent events.

On Thursday, the Supreme Court (despite an apocalyptic dissent about “pure applesauce” and “interpretive jiggery-pokery” by Justice Scalia) put an end to years of court cases and congressional attacks against the Affordable Care Act, which means that millions of Americans will no longer live in a state of perpetual anxiety about health costs.

On Friday, the Supreme Court (despite a curiously ill-informed dissent about Kalahari, Aztec, and Han mating rites by Chief Justice Roberts) legalized same-sex marriage nationally—a colossal (and joyous) landmark moment in the liberation of gay men and lesbians.

Obama reinventing the Lame Duck..



Rex http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=6910730

Btw, I never thought he was "over" because of the disastrous midterms.. I knew there was a lot more to good things to come ..knowing this President history.

[Hekate]

33. Love the "reinvented lame duck"! Nice to have a graphic for what I've been saying since Week 1...

...of his so-called Lame Duck Presidency. The man has been set free.

[MBS]

39. yes, yes, yes

I love that lame duck, too.

[sheshe2]

18. Kick

[lamp_shade]

21. I think I've rounded most of them up... into my ignore list.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

24. The president has shown such intellect and heart that I now

want Joe Biden to run.

I honestly think he'd be the best candidate and a strong president.

[Hekate]

32. They are all over GD, name-calling him and misrepresenting a trade bill when they have no idea....

...how such things are crafted and how they work their way through all the branches of government. Trade Bill = NAFTA is all their little brains have room for. So without ever finding out exactly what's going on with this one they sharpen their knives and start in again.

It's driving me away, but who cares.

Last week was transformative, and cemented the President's legacy in the history books. That will endure when all the sludge at DU finally goes down the drain.

[calimary]

38. If there are, I don't wanna hear from 'em.

Some people go searching around the Christmas tree saying "there MUST be a pony!" Other people go searching around the Christmas tree saying "there MUST be horse shit."

Tired of it.

[ailsagirl]

40. Hear, hear!!

What was it our great President Lincoln said?

You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time.

(Actually, I just found out it was John Lydgate who first coined the expression.)
