In reply to the discussion: I'm thrilled that the President didn't veto the spending bill (updated) [View all]2naSalit
(103,055 posts)response because I think that your OP misses a major point and that the respondent nailed it. There seems to be an epidemic of overlooking some major concerns that many of us see as becoming dangerous to us as a nation and I think your OP does exactly that.
There were measures the pres could have taken with regard to this issue and you seem to have made a myopic argument with regard to what is going on. A veto may have been unacceptable to many (and most of us weren't arguing for one even though you seem to think that was what many of us were arguing for regardless of any discussion we made against an actual veto that you must have missed) but it wasn't the only option the pres had in his toolbox. I think he has dropped the ball on a number of issues that are becoming a larger sack of sh*t for us to swallow. Yeah, he might be a nice guy and have class and intellect but he is also selling us out incrementally and I am fed up with it. The Dems are losing the war and all the small battles in the interim... all to avoid some discomfort?
Laugh all you want and call us names and berate us for noticing the warts and hairs that collectively make an ogre out all this but when it's way beyond correction, none of us will be laughing, not even you.
Pay attention here, mental masturbation and gushing about how Obama can do no wrong because, well he's such an awesome dude, will get you little when the whole empire comes crashing down. (not that I am happy about this being an empire but it is what it has become... with our foot on the gas toward ruination.) Go ahead and laugh... because that sense of mirth won't last for long.
