He ran on ending the Iraq war.

Strike two.

The "strike two" comment doesn't make sense. I said it would have been a strike against him had the Democrats not passed the health care bill, since that's one of the things the people elected him to do.

Perhaps you missed it...the bill was passed last night.

Please. Your side had him out before he even reached the batters box. Don't act like you are an impartial judge of his accomplishments or lack thereof.

Why work, when you can have extended unemployment benefits (enough to pay for house payments thanks to the shitty economy that's been made) and all the medical marijuana that free health insurance buys?

True. So I imagine you'll be quitting your job to get in on the sweet life that you feel the unemployed now enjoy?

Can't exactly call it "going Gault," if you're going to live off the government largesse. "Going red state" maybe?

move to somalia- they dont have unemployment benefits, health insurance or taxes for that matter. although, u might have to fend for yourself against crazy, machete wielding warlords and their henchmen.
 
I only oppose the reason that unemployment benefits NEED TO BE EXTENDED.

Because the people in charge of the govt. now are more interested in extending them than they are in making an economic environment where people who want to work can find a job.
 
im sure u teabaggers were overjoyed when u heard this news:

http://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory?id=10168323

Vice President Joe Biden says average income tax refunds are up nearly 10 percent to just over $3,000, largely due to various tax benefits in last year's economic stimulus bill.

Internal Revenue Service data show the average refund is up more than $260, a 9.6 percent increase over last year.

Since about half of all Americans have yet to file their returns, administration officials are holding events across the country this week reminding taxpayers to take advantage of those benefits on their 2009 tax returns.

The stimulus bill included help for taxpayers for college expenses, buying a first home and making energy-efficiency improvements on their homes, among other tax credits.

Income tax day is April 15.

Wow. Spent $800B to give 110M people a $300 refund.

Such brilliance.

People might be able to afford a toaster.

George W. Bush--called one of the most divisive figures in US history by his opponents--worked on an education bill with Ted Kennedy. Barack Obama--hailed as the Great Uniter and a "transformational figure" by the media--can't even work with Olympia Snowe.

I may not be impartial, but that doesn't mean I don't have the ability to set aside my biases to evaluate the facts of the situation. As I've stated before, I've known of President Obama for well over a decade, when he was my State Senator. He didn't bother to hide his real aims when he was standing up against Whitey on the South Side.

who spends $300 on a toaster? it sounds kind of excessive. u might spend $300 on the world's most sophisticated toaster but a single mother might spend that money on daycare for a few extra hours a month so that she could enroll in night school or take on some more shifts at work but again those stories dont resonate with u because u are going to spend $300 on a toaster.

That clearly went over your head. You need me to explain it, apparently.

When Bush first was president, he and congress gave everyone a tax rebate to stimulate the economy and get us out of the recession he inherited from Clinton. $300, exactly. Your kind pooh poohed it because $300 is only enough to buy a toaster.

What comes around goes around.

FTW.

i know about bush's tax rebates that disproportionately benefited high income earners. i was merely pointing out the absurdity of your assertion that $300 was only good enough to buy u a toaster.
 
"Teabaggers," eh? If we're going to call repulsive language by its right name, maybe we should start with the title of this thread.
 
Update on the original story:
http://www.dispatch.com/live/content/local_news/stories/2010/03/24/dollar-bill-throw.html?sid=101

The man who berated and tossed dollar bills at a man with Parkinson's disease during a health care protest last week says he is remorseful and scared. "I snapped. I absolutely snapped and I can't explain it any other way," said Chris Reichert of Victorian Village, in a Dispatch interview.
In his first comments on an incident that went viral across the Internet and was repeatedly played on cable television news shows, Reichert said he is sorry about his confrontation with Robert A. Letcher, 60, of the North Side. Letcher, a former nuclear engineer who suffers from Parkinson's, was verbally attacked as he sat before anti-health care demonstrators in front of Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy's district office last week.
"He's got every right to do what he did and some may say I did too, but what I did was shameful," Reichert said. "I haven't slept since that day."
"I made a donation (to a local Parkinson's disease group) and that starts the healing process."
Earlier this week, Reichert, 40, denied any involvement in a confrontation featured in a Dispatch video that drew an emotional response from viewers across the country.
"I wanted this to go away, but it won't and I'm paying the consequences," Reichert said.
He said he's fearful for his family after reading comments about his actions on the Internet.
"I've been looking at the web sites," he said. "People are hunting for me."
...
Organizers on both sides of the debate quickly condemned the actions of Reichert and the other man, who still has not been identified. Reichert, a registered Republican, said he is not politically active. He said he heard about the rally on the radio and a neighbor invited him to attend.
"That was my first time at any political rally and I'm never going to another one," Reichert said.
"I will never ever, ever go to another one."

Sounds like he was just some dude who got swept up in the mob mentality. Sucks to be him.
 
The weak link in democracy is education. If you don't educate the voters properly, they will fuck up everything. The Tea Party might as well be renamed the critically stupid party. They are just a bunch of hotheads with no logic who try to bully everybody to run things how they want, which of course is just a front for what they really want. They want "that Black president out of office".

I don't think that's any more true than the notion that most people who voted for Obama wanted "the Black guy in office." There are some extremists on either fringe who feel Obama's race is a defining issue. But I think that most Americans of all political stripes either don't care or are kind of proud to see a black guy in the White House.

I know several tea party types, and few of them strike me as racist.

Thanks. Of all the party affiliations out there, my mix of a strong foreign policy and a limited government most likely aligns closest with the Tea Partiers. So, by your measure I'm racist and uneducated. That's a remarkably stupid position for you to hold. Good luck with it.
 
Man, those taxbaggers sure are blatant assholes.
