Hug your kids..

BOG

[Iliyah]

1. GOPers are chicken hawks. They talk but can't walk.

And yes, they are afraid of children.

[Cha]

2. They're the worst villians imaginable.. And, President Obama has had to deal with

these heartless sociopaths for the last 7 years.

He nailed it.. Mahalo Iliyah~

[Kablooie]

59. You are giving them too much credit. They aren't chicken hawks, they are chicken shits.

[63splitwindow]

65. Agreed! Though they're too toxic to be fertilizer. nt

[Aristus]

3. That's two of my votes very well-placed.

Thank you, Mr. President!

[Cha]

4. Yes, Thank you, President Obama!

And you, too, Aristus!

[msrizzo]

5. Yes and Ted Cruz challenged him to a duel!

Lucky for him that the President is to busy doing his job because Cruz will be spared the righteous smack down he so richly deserves and is begging for.

[Cha]

8. I happened to catch that out of the corner of my eye, msrizzo! I was thinking the same..

uh.. the President's a little busy now.. you'll have to wait for your smack down, ted. lol

He's begging!

[Moostache]

24. Obama versus Cruz? Two hits...

Obama hitting Cruz, Cruz hitting the floor.

Of all the GOP clown car candidates, two of them - Cruz and Rubio - grind my gears like no other.
But I would drop $75 for the PPV of Obama smacking around Cruz....I joke about 2 hits, but I would prefer it be like Ali-Terrell beating, complete with Obama taunting a bloodied Cruz throughout.

[Fantastic Anarchist]

28. That constitutes a threat against the President.

SS needs to get on it.

[misterhighwasted]

6. K & R Shame on them all. GOP is beginning to look like terrorists themselves.

We need to vote in DEM Senators & Reps. This is such a critical 2016 election.
They are a frightening fascist organization.

Breaks the heart to know the suffering if so many innocents.
Damn!

[Cha]

9. The gopropaganda machine is an enemy of the state. They give themselves a bad name.. thinking

people know that they are not who America is defined by.. it's by President Obama and next up Hillary Clinton!

It is so heartbreaking, mister... that sweet little baby on the rocks.

[Fritz Walter]

33. And that needs to be a major theme in Democratic campaign ads

Starting right-fucking-now!

We know full well that the Repugs are already planning their fear-evoking images and messages, right out of Lee Atwater's and Karl Rove's playbooks of Smear-and-Fear. Those ads need to be immediately countered with overlapping images of Daesh-bags and the clown-car occupants, GOTP congress-critters, and gubers whose statements have played right into Daesh's bloody hands. They are traitors and they need to be labeled as such.

Take the gloves OFF, Debbie Wasserman Schultz!

[misterhighwasted]

60. K & R Truth!

thanks

[Fritz Walter]

61. Many thanks for your kind words

They are especially welcome in light of the House's action today.

I swear to dog, DWS has crossed over to join the enemy (domestic (GOTP), if not foreign). I'm so angry I could bite a 10-penny nail in half.



<Sigh!>

Got an invitation to join a grassroots gathering for Bernie's campaign at my local library tomorrow.
I think I'll go.

[Duval]

62. Good idea, Fritz Walter. We also

have received an invitation and we're going. It will be great to meet like minded people in our area. (Chapel Hill/Durham, NC)

[misterhighwasted]

7. Thanks Cha

The RW is as inhumane as any brutal organization.
This is a horrific human crisis.

[Cha]

11. Good description, mister.. Thank goodness we won't have to suffer under

their brutal regimes.

Hillary is going to win.

[Buzz Clik]

10. "Oh my! Obama delivered a swift kick straight to the nads! And Trump is down! Cruz is furious!...."

[Cha]

14. I hear cruz is sputtering nails and babbling mano a mano!

[Tommy2Tone]

12. Go get em Prez n/t

[Cha]

18. He did, T2T.. it's Done.

[sheshe2]

13. My stinking GOP

Governor refuses to take them in as well. He is doing what the GOP does best and that is absolutely nothing.

Thank you Mr President, you are a compassionate soul.

Thanks Cha for the OP.

[Cha]

16. Wow.. I can't imagine that will go over well with so many warm hearted people in Mass, she!

I've read it's unconstitutional anyway.. but, that doesn't seem to be stopping the heartless pandering gop.

You're Welcome, she.. President saying.. "At first they were too scared of the press being too tough on them in the debates. Now they'r scared of 3 year old Orphans.." ZING!

The sweet pic of the baby on the rocks, she..

[sheshe2]

50. Yes the picture of the child is heartbreaking

editorial

Paris attacks: Baker, others wrong to reject Syrian refugees

Terrorist attacks have a way of bringing out the very best in us — but also the worst. We’ve seen the high-water mark of human empathy, as people all over the world rally in support of the victims of the unspeakable violence committed in Paris on Friday night. Now, however, we’re also seeing the stark limits of compassion, as governors across the United States — including our own governor, Charlie Baker — have announced that Syrian refugees are no longer welcome in their states.

[Cha]

51. Thank you for that.. Maybe if he hears from enough people he'll change his repub mind..

The reality is that the overwhelming majority of Syrian refugees are innocent children and parents who’ve fled a homeland that has suffered a conflict far more deadly than the attacks Paris endured Friday night. An estimated 200,000 people have died in Syria since the war began four years ago.

For that reason alone, it’s regrettable that Massachusetts is being added to the list of states that have announced their refusal to accept Syrian refugees. (Those states — Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Louisiana, and Texas — all happen to be led by Republican governors.)

Earlier I had looked up to see what our Gov was doing ..

Ige defends stance on Syrian refugees

Gov. David Ige's office has been flooded with over 500 phone calls and about 300 emails from constituents in response to his statements Monday that Hawaii would welcome refugees fleeing a brutal civil war in Syria.

The governor said some of the comments were supportive of his position but he acknowledged during a press conference Tuesday afternoon that others raised concerns about public safety and how Hawaii would accommodate an influx of refugees in light of the state's escalating homeless problem.

http://www.staradvertiser.com/news/breaking/20151117_Ige_to_address_possibility_of_welcoming_Syrian_refugees.html?id=351206231

Our Gov wants them but he's getting calls from people who are concerned our Homeless first.

[longship]

15. Nice one, PBO. Thanks, Cha! Nice one.

R&

[Cha]

21. He put them in their own little nutshell, longship.

Thank you!

[Gothmog]

17. I am proud and happy that President Obama is our president

[Cha]

23. I know what you mean, Gothmog.

[Amimnoch]

19. Once again the GREATNESS that is President Barak Obama

Now THERE is a man that could be compared to the Greatness that was FDR.

[Cha]

26. 1 more year to go of the Greatest that is President Obama and then

we get Hillary!

We're fortunate for these blessings.. we know how bad it could be having lived through 8 years of the neocon bush crap.. and now the new crop of teabagger are worse than bush. and they wonder why they can't win national elections.

LOve your sig line.

[floriduck]

20. And Tweety called him snarky!

Matthews has truly gone off the rails.

[Cha]

25. Isn't that special .. tweety protectin' repubs by calling Prez snarky.. lol. Obama freaklng

nailed it he means.

[Fritz Walter]

37. He's sticking to the Comcast script

...Just like a good little corporate-media whore*.

Otherwise, he'd end up like Ed Schultz, Rev. Al Sharpton and others who dared to speak their minds.

I'm so glad I cut the cable in September: I don't have to endure his smarminess.

____
* I'm sorry, that comment was out of line. I apologize to prostitutes for comparing Tweety to you. Please forgive!

[Duval]

63. Exactly!

[NewJeffCT]

46. We need more snark from him

Glad somebody is calling them out for their cowardice - if you can't face a CNBC debate moderator, how can you hope to face down Putin, ISIS, Iran, etc?

[SwankyXomb]

22. There are times when I wish Barack Obama really was

the Commie Muslim Kenyan Socialist Dictator the Republicans claim he is. A Commie Muslim Kenyan Socialist Dictator would simply eliminate the problem of the Republicans, by eliminating the Republicans.

[Cha]

31. Alas no.. we just have to rely on his intelligence and wit to slay the draconian

degenerates.

[malthaussen]

27. I get the impression that Mr Obama is getting tired of this nonsense. n/t

[Cha]

35. Yeah, and making the repubs so mad they're spitting nails. And the President not caring

[DinahMoeHum]

29. Heh heh. Sic 'em, Mr. President.

[Cha]

36. Called them out.. and they have even more to whine about.. the President was so mean.

[DinahMoeHum]

38. Yeah, watta buncha bed-wetting wankers. . .

". . .home of the brave. . ." my ass.

[Myrina]

30. +100 for POTUS

n/t

[MatthewStLouis]

32. Damned awesome quote. I couldn't agree more.

The "all hat, no cattle" crowd are a bunch of cowardly ninnies!

[Cha]

41. they're not worthy. Showing the world how inept and cruel they wanna be.

[jwirr]

34. K&R President Obama is totally correct in this and teddy cruz

is down in the polls and needs something to boost his ratings. Ignore him Mr. President.

[Tarheel_Dem]

39. K&R

[Cha]

42. Thank you, Tarheel!

[Hekate]

40. Did you see Crazy Cruz blustering for PBO to come back and say it to my face?

GOPers are nothing but bullies looking for a bully to be their strongman.

[Cha]

43. I did read a bit of the false bravado of ted cruz in the safely of his bubble. I bet the President

and his Team got a laugh.

Mr big mouth cruz who is afraid of questions from a mod and women and children refugees, wants to go mano a mano with President Obama! lol

[Hekate]

54. Cruz has, to quote the Germans, a face in need of a fist

He is one ugly SOB.

[Cha]

57. that's funny.. "a face in need of a fist.." so appropriate for the sociopathic twit. Pres Obama

didn't name anyone so I guess he recognized himself as one of the leaders who was not helping and afraid of the cnbc mods and 3 year old refugees.

Someone on that LBN thread said he posted on cruz' FB page..

He represents me. The closest I could come to saying it to his face was to post it to his Facebook page. Regarding the refugee issue, I told him never to say the name of Jesus again, if he were not going to follow His commandments.

Booom!

[awoke_in_2003]

44. I will give this a rec. nt

[Cha]

45. Thank you, awoke!

[awoke_in_2003]

47. I like it when he calls it like it is

I think, as his time in office draws closer to the end, we are going to hear more of it.

[stage left]

48. Bravo

That's telling 'em, Mr. President, the smarmy little cowards.

[Cha]

49. OH and they got mad.

[Cha]

53. Trump is a stupid asshole.. go back to your cave.

[zentrum]

55. Obama speaks for me!

[zentrum]

56. But the truth is

…..their xenophobic, racist hatred is not the only motivation. They want and need a dangerous ISIS, want an enemy for the country to be afraid of and hate. They've converted ISIS into the new Cold War, which funded trillions in unneeded military spending, cost millions of lives over time, and was used to make reasonable, non-rightwingers (liberals0 look weak, unprotective, unpatriotic, and somehow not American.

This "I will protect you from the big bad wolf" game has been going on since the 1940's when the progressive feelings in the country had to finally, post-FDR, be squelched.

[Cha]

71. Yes, they do, zentrum.. they need an enemy they don't care how many have to die.

[bbmykel]

58. Thank you Mr. President!

Amazing quotes.

[Cha]

72. And, thank you, bbmkel!

[brer cat]

64. The gloves are off.

Good for PBO.

[Cha]

73. Oh yeah.. that's a good way to put, brer cat. the President is calling them out fo what they

are. And, he'll say it to their face, too.

[monicaangela]

66. It's about time

the President told it like it is. I'm so proud to call this man my President. I don't agree with everything he does, but I don't agree with everything anybody does. This is one time I can say I have not regretted voting for someone....TWICE. Thank you Mr. President for putting them in their place. Yes, they are low down dirty cowards, and their actions prove it. Continue to expose them every chance you get.

[sheshe2]

67. For the Children.

Image from your OP



Kick!

[Cha]

74. For the children and all those who are oppressed, she~ At least that's what our Nation was built on.

Mahalo, she~

[BumRushDaShow]

68. The video of the quote

[Cha]

75. Thank you for that, BRDS!

I shall put it in my journal. And, when the President gets back he'll say it to their face.

[BumRushDaShow]

87. "he'll say it to their face"

[shadowmayor]

69. Best Part

Tweety had hisself a new batch of kittens in his pants over the President berating the repukes. Gawd but he's a load of blustering turd pie. And no Tweety, we ain't all neocons now!

[Cha]

76. Gawd.. tweety sure doesn't know which say the wind blows.. doesn't he know his history?

Mahalo shadowmayor

[alfredo]

70. knr

[DirkGently]

77. That cracked me up.

I think Obama is enjoying himself at this point.

Good.

[Thinkingabout]

78. K & R

GOP can't stand for three hours and debate but I was okay to hold Hillary for eleven hours to testify, as President Obama points out this same bunch can't handle moderators asking questions. This shows we have a better president and are currently backing a future president better than anything they have going. Put them in a bag and shake them and you will get the same shit coming from them.

[Cha]

79. Yes, The President called them out Spectaculary on their chickenshite, T! We even had one

trump supporter who couldn't resist jumping on the thread to call Obama the worst president ever. Course, now he's Name Removed.

Thank you

[freshwest]

80. 'Syrian refugees are victims of terrorism themselves.' 11.5M in 5 years displaced. Perfect by PBO.

[Cha]

82. Yes they are.. thank you, freshwest.. good to see you!

[rusty quoin]

81. I'm happy I got to give this the 200th recommendation

[Cha]

85. Thank you, rusty quion.

[applegrove]

83. Thank you for that CHA. Fantastically simple and

so true. Bonnuit

[Cha]

86. I'm glad you saw it, apple~

Bon nuit to you.

[sheshe2]

84. Kick

[Chemisse]

88. Awesome. n/t

[Cha]

94. Mahalo Chemisse!

[Adrahil]

89. I'm glad he went there!

These idiots are cowards!

[underpants]

90. Repubs are shielded from the orphan reference

They aren't allowed to know about Christie's comment.

[Tarc]

91. Great comment from our great president, there's just one more line I'd like to see...

...added to the narrative.

Call them what they are; bigots. What Trump and Rubio and others are doing is hate speech, plain and simple. If they keep this hateful, ignorant anti-immigrant train going, then they have to be called out for what they are.

Bigots.

[BlueCaliDem]

92. I loved it when he said that to the press! I never thought he would, so it was a huge

surprise that he schooled Republicans and some scaredy-cat Dems publicly.

He's so correct and Republicans in the House - and maybe in the Senate as well - are proving him right by passing legislation to stop the president from helping refugees. The Republican Party is destroying everything that makes this country so great.

Congressional Democrats better stand behind our president and his veto should the bill pass the Senate!

[Cha]

95. Sorry, it took so long to get to your post, BlueCali.. Thank you!

For the refugees.. may they find good homes. Those poor people whose lives are made so unbearably hard by terrorists.

[d_legendary1]

93. Too bad I can only recommend this only once

This should have thousands!

[Cha]

96. Thank you, d_legendary!
