45. First Feminist President and the first one to emphasize science sans WMD. What's not to like about

Mon Jun 23, 2014, 01:40 AM

Jun 2014

the direction that he is taking the nation? I don't want a POTUS who pushes theocracy, the disenfranchisement of women, minorities, and doesn't care about the environment and finds reasons to go to war anywhere.

As Clinton said, his term was a golden era but that PBO inherited a complete disaster. He's still cleaning 30 years of destruction, and doesn't have time to finish the whole job. He's working on it hard everyday and still maintaining his sanity.

He's done good but the work is always up to us, it always was and it should be. As it's about us and not about him, isn't it?

And another war for icing. grahamhgreen Jun 2014 #73

Manny, do you remember this discussion we had on the TPP? The one where you blamed the President msanthrope Jun 2014 #117

Was that the exchange where you refused to click on the links I provided because MannyGoldstein Jun 2014 #121

After proving you utterly incorrect, you then proceeded to post a blind link, msanthrope Jun 2014 #123

It's really hard to click on a link, I guess MannyGoldstein Jun 2014 #126

Maybe I don't feel like being rickrolled, Manny. Have you learned nothing from the DU Lounge??? nt msanthrope Jun 2014 #143

Hello...heads up...its called negotiation.... VanillaRhapsody Jun 2014 #87

The President as Negotiator in Chief? pscot Jun 2014 #94

Yeah I do.....you realize in negotiations you don't get sparkle ponies and flying cars right? VanillaRhapsody Jun 2014 #95

Do you disagree that it is wrong to compare Obama to a Republican? davidpdx Jun 2014 #56

No it is actually a site for Democrats....its in the name for goodness sakes.. VanillaRhapsody Jun 2014 #78

Hey Rhett! sheshe2 Jun 2014 #11

If you accuse me of being a "one issue" person and that issue is the Constitution, then I am guilty. rhett o rick Jun 2014 #33

Do as you please Rhett. sheshe2 Jun 2014 #39

and THIS is Democratic Underground.... VanillaRhapsody Jun 2014 #80

What makes you accuse me of being a libertarian? Because I support the Constitution? rhett o rick Jun 2014 #92

you are standing with patriots from the first days of our republic. grasswire Jun 2014 #88

Yes Pres Obama is nice, has a nice family and a nice dog. But he also rhett o rick Jun 2014 #38

You are accusing this President of violating the Constitution!? sheshe2 Jun 2014 #60

I accuse Gen Clapper of violating the Constitution and you go off on "pushing you around"? rhett o rick Jun 2014 #69

then tell the Republicans to charge him! VanillaRhapsody Jun 2014 #81

"When you accuse one you accuse the other"? grasswire Jun 2014 #89

yeah, and it's weird that the senators send a letter to Obama.. grasswire Jun 2014 #41

while YOU are "making profiles" of "groups" of DUers in the hosts lounge? Embarrassing! bettyellen Jun 2014 #99

Are you in favor of the TPP? nt MannyGoldstein Jun 2014 #29

Now you've gone too far. You know damn well that that isnt a fair question. The answer of The Group rhett o rick Jun 2014 #34

ah, so that is 'the group' you were talking about in the host forums a while back. Whisp Jun 2014 #42

Sounds like the cool-aid meme in a round about way davidpdx Jun 2014 #54

The mask slips. eom sheshe2 Jun 2014 #61

As a host I am neutral. I evaluate the alerted OP against the SOP. My point at the time rhett o rick Jun 2014 #72

You have proven you are not neutral. Whisp Jun 2014 #96

Interesting. I dont believe I have ever held a position as a host where I didnt agree with the rhett o rick Jun 2014 #98

And apparently, it is because of ignoring threads and hating the word c**t here! bettyellen Jun 2014 #114

No, you advocated that hosts ignore alerts based on WHO alerted- a "group" that existed only in bettyellen Jun 2014 #111

well that was revealingnt grasswire Jun 2014 #118

I totally forgot what thread is was about, LOL I bet you never intended for that shit storm, eh? bettyellen Jun 2014 #119

the "shit storm" was not of my making grasswire Jun 2014 #128

and I said exactly that. that thread is an embarrassment to the hosts for a few reasons- and bettyellen Jun 2014 #129

deflection grasswire Jun 2014 #130

that I dared to mention the reason for your hide- that you said was a mistake? bettyellen Jun 2014 #131

deflection grasswire Jun 2014 #132

well, I was wrong about that because now all meta is allowed in GD- bettyellen Jun 2014 #133

Obviously rationality has left the building. nm rhett o rick Jun 2014 #134

because some hosts admit their bias and judgment of Duers instead of the content of posts? bettyellen Jun 2014 #135

Why are you obsessing about this? It's a post on a message board. nm rhett o rick Jun 2014 #136

there should be transparency about the corruption of hosts here bettyellen Jun 2014 #137

So you are trying to save DU from corrupt hosts? I doubt that anyone finds it "informative." But rhett o rick Jun 2014 #142

it was confessed that I landed in the group for posting anti- Snowden. Except I didn't.... bettyellen Jun 2014 #101

I was told I was rounded up into the group because I posted anti-Snowden! Since I did not..... bettyellen Jun 2014 #113

Hey Rhett... sheshe2 Jun 2014 #58

I find that interesting. That's a picture of a proud, hard working American female. One that would rhett o rick Jun 2014 #70

Hey Manny are you in favor of President Obama... sheshe2 Jun 2014 #36

Yes to all, other than DODT - I don't know what that is. But why MannyGoldstein Jun 2014 #67

Are you, or have you ever been, a member of the communist party? bettyellen Jun 2014 #100

So asking about TPP is roughly the same as the McCarthy hearings? MannyGoldstein Jun 2014 #103

LOL, No, but accusing someone of any opinion because of LACK of posting is moronic. bettyellen Jun 2014 #104

Is this an example of what you're talking about? MannyGoldstein Jun 2014 #105

Yeah, she turned it on it's head to show you just how moronic this witch hunt is. Satire. bettyellen Jun 2014 #106

That was satire. MannyGoldstein Jun 2014 #107

I am sure you get a lot of the same, no? bettyellen Jun 2014 #109

I do write some satire, but don't understand your question. MannyGoldstein Jun 2014 #110

questioning what is satire and what isn't. I've seen some here wonder that about you. bettyellen Jun 2014 #112

He slams himself with his policy decisions that reflect Bush logic. grahamhgreen Jun 2014 #74

Are you in favor of the TPP? nt MannyGoldstein Jun 2014 #32

See, now I am hoping this is satire, but..... bettyellen Jun 2014 #115

No, it's not satire at all. MannyGoldstein Jun 2014 #116

Have you actually seen people here advocating for the TPP? I have never, yet the interrogations bettyellen Jun 2014 #120

I've certainly seen people defend the TPP. MannyGoldstein Jun 2014 #122

Wow, I'd love to see that. Only people accused of supporting it, for not posting at all. bettyellen Jun 2014 #124

I wrote defending, not supporting. Look at 117 in this very thread. MannyGoldstein Jun 2014 #125

I asked about supporting, because I have been so accused, and seen others based bettyellen Jun 2014 #127
