Ohhhhh no.....here we go! Obama turn on the water in Detroit first, and up the food stamps, NOW

[TheNutcracker]

right here at home. I'm sick of this government not caring about American citizens. SICK OF IT




Had to rant...just had to.

[TheNutcracker]

1. "They have no water, no food, they'll die up on that mountain". Hey Obama, they're dying here!

[kelliekat44]

41. If Obama did any of this he would be impeached for violating states' rights and acting like

a dictator. Federal/state jurisdictions involved. The GOP is just waiting for this. Now if a state of emergency is called and the governor calls for help, that's different.

[TheNutcracker]

2. Rec and Rec and Rec so they know where WE stand. I love helping others, but hey what about here?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. And how, exactly, is Obama supposed to turn on the water in Detroit?

How is he supposed to increase food stamps when our useless Congress controls the national checkbook?

[LordGlenconner]

4. He can wave his magic wand, of course

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

10. Better than that - he's the King of the United States

and he can make anything happens that he wants, just by ordering it to be done!

[freshwest]

31. Oh, but he's much more powerful than a mere King!

President Obama likes to play God sometimes, just in order to annoy Sarah Palin



Sarah Palin: Not impeaching Barack Obama "affront to God", he "wants to play God"

Uploaded by PalinGrifter2012

Published on Jul 19, 2014

Sarah Palin said a lot of crazy things in her speech at the "Western Conservative Summit" at Colorado Christian University on July 19, 2014, but this is probably the craziest part. In other parts of the speech, she accused Obama to be a mobster and a murderer.

Please go to Patrick's article at the link below. It's got all of the dirt you forgot about Sarah:

Sarah Palin: Look, we know you are stupid and insane.

We know that you are a notorious rabble-rouser.

We know that you hate anyone who doesn't adore you.

We know that Democrats started to love you, because you have turned into their secret weapon.

There is a lot more we know about you...

We are now eagerly awaiting God's press release in this matter.

'If he's not impeachable, no one is': Sarah Palin pounds Obama on immigration policy and compares him to a 'mob boss' who 'wants to play God'

Tuesday, Jul 29th 2014

* Former VP candidate blasts the president for 'dereliction of duty' in 'amnesty' plan
* 'There's only one remedy for a president who commits high crimes and misdemeanors, and it's impeachment'
* 'Gang-bangers and terrorists' are mixed in with children crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, she said; 'We're offering to take care of them'
* 'We had a revolution in 1776 because we don't do kings,' she shouted, saying Obama has made himself 'a ruler, not a president'
* Palin spoke to the Western Conservative Summit in Denver

Sorry for the source, but they're no worse than Palin and you won't have to listen to her voice:

34. Maybe he's a wizard!

[freshwest]

36. No, no! You gotta think bigger!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025352701#post22

[freshwest]

38. Obama can't *even* walk on water! I feel betrayed! Kick!

I posted on a slightly more substantive thread about the people doing without:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1014864936#post2

But I see some desperation in this thread, so I kick.

Water is more essential to civilization then anything else and Michigan's not exactly a desert, huh.

GOP mismanagement and a unhealthy dose of racism are involved there. They want the poor displaced and don't care how they it gets done.

[TheNutcracker]

5. Contact they mayor, another executive officer, and order him. "they'll die there without it".

Just like he said.....only right here at home.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. Oh, well, there's that tiresome little Constitution that always gets in the way...

The President can't order a mayor to do a damn thing.

[4b5f940728b232b034e4]

14. That ignores...

the fact that they have been doing it for over twenty years.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. Really? Which ones? When?

[TheDebbieDee]

6. +1! How, praytell?

[TheNutcracker]

7. Then this board should stop worrying so much about Hillary and concentrate on CONGRESS!

[gateley]

17. Need to go beyond worrying and concentrating --

We don't accomplish anything by just feeding off each other's frustration and anger. There are so many good ideas on this board, and so much wisdom and intelligence. But it stays on this board. Take it to someone who can DO something, and if the first attempt or first hundred fail, keep pushing.

[Rex]

11. Go there and turn it on?

I kid. The GOP would have a meltdown. He could kick Congress in the ass for the rest of his term...they deserve it. Congress seems confused about what just happened.

[TheNutcracker]

13. Ok, Congress. Don't ya think they're appropriating the dollars for this???

[ancianita]

42. The military already has dollars in place for this.

[gateley]

8. We can do both, you know -- it's not either/or. And we SHOULD do both,

Not sure what you're expecting Obama himself to do -- what CAN he do?

And it's not "the American Government" not caring -- it's those who prevent the government from doing what's needed. And that's not Obama.

Seriously and sincerely, if you know what can be done, what can honestly be done, why don't you THINK it's being done?

[TheNutcracker]

16. He can bring every troop home and stop acting like we can cure 200 yrs of sickness.

[gateley]

21. Exactly the kind of response I anticipated.

It's not that easy, not that uncomplicated, yet you make it sound so simple.

You're expecting too much from one person. I don't care if he is the POTUS. He's not God.

[TheNutcracker]

27. God does not bring troops home. No it's not too much to ask. Stop clamoring for O I L !

[gateley]

28. Honest to God and seriously, no snark --

CAN the POTUS just yank everyone out of there? I'm honestly unsure if he has the authority or if he needs congressional support.

That being asked, not sure if he would do it anyway. Politics, ya know.

[Brigid]

12. I'm going to sound selfish, but I'm going to ask anyway:

When are the needs of ordinary Americans going to start getting some attention?

[TheNutcracker]

18. EXACTLY!!!!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

19. When the GOP no longer controls Congress.

And make no mistake, it does control Congress because even though the Dems have the majority in the Senate, the GOPers' use of the filibuster makes it impossible to get anything passed other than bills that benefit the 1%.

[TheNutcracker]

26. But Congresss is going along with this! Hey orangeface...How we gonna pay for it?

[gateley]

32. Don't you remember? Iraq oil is going to pay the bills.

[NightWatcher]

20. When we get lobbyists and buy a Congresscritter or 50

Men make money in wars, there is no money to be made by feeding hungry kids.

Some contractor will make money by being hired to drop the aid. Some contractor will make money selling bullets if that's the route we go.

[gateley]

24. I don't know -- what did your congressional and senate representatives

respond when you asked them?

Asking fellow DUers isn't going to garner a knowledgable answer.

[Amonester]

43. Ask the constitutionally constituted... Con...

gre$$...

[freshwest]

22. Obama For Ruler Of The Galaxy!

Daily Caller reporters' book delves into Obama lizard conspiracy



The truth is out there — and it involves President Obama and the lizardmen.

In a new ebook, two reporters for The Daily Caller website stumble upon Obama's "intergalactic" ambitions.

From the Amazon.com book description of "The Lizard King: The Shocking Inside Account of Obama's True Intergalactic Ambitions by an Anonymous White House Staffer," by Jamie Weinstein and William Rahn:

"What if every farfetched conspiracy theory about Barack Obama turned out to be true? Two reporters for the The Daily Caller received an unsolicited manuscript in the mail, the diary of a former Obama administration political operative. What they read stunned them. "The Lizard King" describes a White House where the reality is more surreal, and comically bizarre, than anything its most fervent enemies have alleged. Tasked by David Axelrod with debunking right wing rumors about the president, the narrator embarks on a journey that takes him from Washington to Moscow to the tribal areas of Pakistan in search of the real Barack Obama. His findings leave him shocked, his political ideology in tatters and his understanding of the world forever changed."

http://www.politico.com/politico44/2012/09/daily-caller-reporters-book-delves-into-obama-lizard-135993.html

Please don't shoot the messenger. I'm just trying to find where Obama can find the power to do all of these things. It'd be pretty cool, I think!

[Mnemosyne]

37. Obviously green is the new black. nt

[freshwest]

39. All the better for camouflage! And yes, he's still stylish! Eat your heart out, GOP!

[Mnemosyne]

55. Definitnely that, lol. nt

[philosslayer]

23. Water is a human right

Water should never be shut off. EVER.

[TheNutcracker]

25. Yep, and many don't have it here!

[Sunlei]

29. are you without water? I've been without water and you can bring clean containers to, a neighbor,

a close store, a fire station, a police department and ask to fill your containers. About 5-10 gallons is plenty for one or two people for all your daily use.

[TheNutcracker]

30. Nitey nite....the suckerupers are busy....

[mcar]

35. Oh FFS

Have you contacted the governor of Michigan to demand that the water be turned back on?

How about the corporate entity the corrupt governor put in charge of the decimation of Detroit?

What did they tell you? Share with us, please.

The president is doing something GOOD here. But, as usual, it's not enough for the haters sonwe have to change the subject.

Obama bad. Don't vote. Let 40,000 people die because of this other issue. Can we ever give this a rest?

[onecaliberal]

33. We could do both.

[TheNutcracker]

40. That's right, but we don't here. And I have family in Detroit trying to help.

[onecaliberal]

44. My family went online and paid a bill

For a family in Detroit to get their water back on. It's terrible how humans are so I humane to one another.

[rhett o rick]

45. Dropping water in Iraq is part of the package where we get to bomb, bomb, bomb some more. nm

[NYC Liberal]

46. It appears some folks just wanted a liberal Bush.

They seem to agree with the Shrub's "It'd be a lot easier if this were a dictatorship, so long as I'm the dictator."

Obama can't just "turn on the water". He can't just order mayors to do things. He can't just pass laws and appropriate funding on his own without Congress. Nor would I ever want him to be able to do so.

[killbotfactory]

47. He can use the military as Commander in Chief.

To get water to Detroit or an increase in food stamps requires congressional action. Republicans have enough people in Congress to thwart pretty much everything they want. Don't like it? Vote for the fucking democrats.

[GeorgeGist]

48. But then the Republicans would stop loving him.

[TheNutcracker]

50. PS. Too bad Detroit is not Iraq!

[TheNutcracker]

49. Why not at least order FEMA to Detroit with water as the shutoffs resume?????

Again, what about our own!!! We'll be rebuilding what we bomb there, all while our infrastructure is failing here at home. I know it's congress, but they are allowing the money for this.

Ask orangeface how and WHO is gonna pay for this??

[Bluenorthwest]

53. The Governor of a State has to request FEMA assistance in order for FEMA to be sent.

nt

[Prophet 451]

51. He can't. I wish he could but he can't

The fact that food stamps even exist sickens me (i.e. your welfare should give teh unemployed enough to survive with food stamps), the fact that people can be denied water, in the 21st century and the richest nation on earth, sickens me. But there's nothing Obama can do about either one.

[TheNutcracker]

52. Well those making money off of the bombs, could spend some for cases to unload in Detroit.

Don't say nothing can be done...while we are doing everything for everyone else. Sick of it.

[MineralMan]

54. Obama is not the King.

Read the Constitution. Learn it, then get back to us.
