Whom did FDR appoint as the first head of the Securities and Exchange Commission? I'll give you a clue: Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr.

Do you know anything about Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr.?

Did you like the part where he escalated a lost war? Tierra_y_Libertad Nov 2012 #5
Does it bother you that I like President Obama and that I support him 100% Cary Nov 2012 #6
Only in that you support all of his decisions..even the ones not yet made. Tierra_y_Libertad Nov 2012 #10
The fact that I support President Obama 100% or otherwise Cary Nov 2012 #13
So, 100% isn't really 100%. Maybe, 87%? 76%? 19%? Tierra_y_Libertad Nov 2012 #15
Is it bothering you? Cary Nov 2012 #17
No. Does it bother you that others don't support Obama "100%"? Tierra_y_Libertad Nov 2012 #20
Why don't you just tell me whether it bothers me? Cary Nov 2012 #21
I believe that telling people to pound sand because they disagree with you is rude. Tierra_y_Libertad Nov 2012 #24

JoePhilly, I think I may have voted for 2 Republicans in my life Cary Nov 2012 #40
Umm, thanks ... but also notice that I was not asking you that question. JoePhilly Nov 2012 #48
Actually I noticed that. Cary Nov 2012 #51
No. And, that's the reason why I didn't vote for him. Tierra_y_Libertad Nov 2012 #65
So will you be the one to start a Progressive Prez 2016 group here on DU? JoePhilly Nov 2012 #66
I have a lot of plans...most of them not involving politics. Tierra_y_Libertad Nov 2012 #67
You try to hold public servants accountable by posting on DU? JoePhilly Nov 2012 #70
Oh, they have their group Cary Nov 2012 #72
Why not? I also, vote against them when they screw up. Tierra_y_Libertad Nov 2012 #75
"We?" Cary Nov 2012 #79

How is saying that I like President Obama, here at DU, trolling? Cary Nov 2012 #64
It's not the OP but the subsequent posts SomethingFishy Nov 2012 #68
The fact that you don't see things in my post doesn't mean they're not there Cary Nov 2012 #69
