announcing a press conference??? how dare he! unblock Dec 2012 #4

Puleeze, anyone excited because Obama is speaking is pretty f'ing naive. Lionessa Dec 2012 #7

and what is someone who feel compelled to insult him prior to hearing what he has to say? unblock Dec 2012 #11

Aware and experienced with his continual reversals of promise. Lionessa Dec 2012 #12

before he even speaks! what an amazing skill! unblock Dec 2012 #19

Really obtuse, there huh? Lionessa Dec 2012 #28

You beat me to that comment. liberal N proud Dec 2012 #46

Agreed....Past is prologue.. choie Dec 2012 #56

Speculative outrage is the best outrage...nt SidDithers Dec 2012 #62

It's only speculation if one has had one's head in the sand for four years, including Lionessa Dec 2012 #63

It's a win-win for you though, eh?... SidDithers Dec 2012 #87

It's only a win for me or most of the 98% once he does what he says. Lionessa Dec 2012 #89

Why are you here? We got your displeasure with your first post in this thread. FourScore Dec 2012 #21

To do as Obama asked... keeping the pressure on. Lionessa Dec 2012 #24

saying he has no credibility is writing him off, not giving constructive criticism. unblock Dec 2012 #29

Challenging him to live up to his words does. Lionessa Dec 2012 #60

Then I'd suggest you actually do that rather than simply hurl insults RomneyLies Dec 2012 #92

Challenges come in many forms. You don't have to like them. Lionessa Dec 2012 #94

Yes... challenges come in many forms.... MrMickeysMom Dec 2012 #106

Yeah, that works so well. Basic understanding of human nature goes Cha Dec 2012 #76

I'm pretty sure Obama doesn't have time to read DU NYC Liberal Dec 2012 #57

You said that so much Control-Z Dec 2012 #61

Thanks. The delusions of grandeur people get from pissing and moaning on the internet are amusing. phleshdef Dec 2012 #81

That one hates the president. Control-Z Dec 2012 #26

I don't hate anyone, but I surely am not blind, nor deaf, nor stupid. Lionessa Dec 2012 #33

I'll take your word Control-Z Dec 2012 #44

Shouldn't you wait for something tangible to be angry about before spewing? Warren Stupidity Dec 2012 #45

Did you wear earplugs and blinders for the past four years???? Lionessa Dec 2012 #50

Hmmmm.... I voted with my eyes open in 2008. Warren Stupidity Dec 2012 #68

You just never get tired of insulting people. DevonRex Dec 2012 #69

You are not even remotely close to being an authority on what constitutes a true progressive. phleshdef Dec 2012 #82

I love the irony! Summer Hathaway Dec 2012 #84

How would I know how poorly he's honored what he's said if I wasn't listening? Lionessa Dec 2012 #86

Well, luckily for the country Summer Hathaway Dec 2012 #90

In what world are the average citizens of this country lucky these days? Lionessa Dec 2012 #93

You assume that a majority of voters Summer Hathaway Dec 2012 #96

I see you can't answer the question as asked. Lionessa Dec 2012 #100

I'm not quitre sure Summer Hathaway Dec 2012 #101

So you're just ranting at me regardless of what I type... Well thanks for the honestly, finally. Lionessa Dec 2012 #102

You mentioned a question I had not answered Summer Hathaway Dec 2012 #103

I'm paying close attention this week... FarPoint Dec 2012 #64

When did he ever have credibility Control-Z Dec 2012 #10

You are correct. To date, he has never earned any credibility. Lionessa Dec 2012 #34

Well aren't you sounding Control-Z Dec 2012 #71

Which explains the huge drop in his approval ... yup!! JoePhilly Dec 2012 #41

He's diaappointed before, he'll likely do it again. Lionessa Dec 2012 #47

So make a concrete prediction of how he will screw us next. JoePhilly Dec 2012 #55

You mean like he did last weeK? Lionessa Dec 2012 #59

What deal was made last week? JoePhilly Dec 2012 #67

Putting certain posters on "ignore" ia a lot like playing whack-a-mole.... OldDem2012 Dec 2012 #52

Putting anyone on ignore is close minded. Lionessa Dec 2012 #54

not when I have to go down over 50 post to get anything meaningful rufus dog Dec 2012 #75

Apparently "meaningful" means agreeing with you. Lionessa Dec 2012 #77
