BREAKING: Obama Leaves Toilet Seat Up, Enrages Women's Groups
Edited on Thu Mar-19-09 10:15 PM by Bonobo
I am so disappointed in Obama!
This is not the change I was looking for when I broke my neck going door to door canvassing for him!
If Bush had done this, no one would be defending him. Where is the OUTRAGE! We can't be hypocrites and we MUST hold him to the same standard if we are going to TAKE THIS COUNTRY BACK!

Why can't everyone see this!???

1. Yes, a slip that of the magnitude EVERY ONE of us has made. Not mean-spirited but evidently
UNFORGIVABLE. :eyes:

4. You may get a few people congratulating you on this, but I think you're a sheep - and you're scary.
When Obama apologizes for this tomorrow, and says that he was completely wrong, will you apologize too?

Which Obama is the right Obama?

Is the man more important than the ideas?

7. The man is tied to the ideas. If he goes down so will they.

19. The only reason Obama will be forced to apologize is because of people like you. n/t

8. I have never understood the toilet seat thing
If it's not in the position you want, then change it.

Such a petty thing to wage a power struggle over, yet common enough that it's become its own sexist stereotype. Ugh.

15. Yeah
Edited on Fri Mar-20-09 12:55 AM by LiberalPersona
Why should the guy have to both put it up and put it down so the woman doesn't have to ever touch it? Let the women leave it up for men once in a while. Equal rights!

21. It seems that some would prefer the guy just piss on the seat, rather than lift it up.
:dunce:

10. If people are outraged by this, then it's a really good sign.
I detect the presence of sarcasm, but it actually makes a good point. There is little to find outrage about, therefore outrage must be created over things that are not generally outrageous (except between spouses, maybe, or something).

Were Obama committing war crimes or something, then I'd be legitimately outraged. These other nitpick-y things are - just that... I love it. It must frustrate those who really want to find something horrible to blame him with...heh...).

22. Actually, it sort of is. Remember the "sweetie" hysteria?
Edited on Fri Mar-20-09 07:58 PM by NorthernSpy
Some twit of a reporter kept interrupting Obama while he was busy, and he called her sweetie while explaining that he didn't have time for an interview just then.

Result: squeals of OUTRAGE!!!11111
