Where the fuck is my Barack Obama prize

[AllentownJake]

I mean I canvassed for him from February to November. Organized 2 teams for him. Gave him close to a thousand dollars I didn't have. Have held house parties for OFA. I want my fucking pony.

Truth is my Barack Obama prize is the same prize that Barack Obama got when he got his President Barack Obama prize. More work, more stress, and more criticism.

Well at least I can turn on my TV now and hear the words Lady and Gentleman the President of the United States and not reach for my shoe to fling at the TV :-)

1. I got my prize today in Prague - starting the process to eliminate all nuclear weapons

[AllentownJake]

2. Yes that made me very happy

If I chose to have children someday a Nuclear Holocaust might not be one of their fears.

3. Uh... in the ihateobama forum, the ONLY thing allowed to be discussed is what you don't like...

Otherwise, you're a lockstepper who stifles dissent. C'mon - get with it.

:P

6. I'm still waiting for my car magnet from the campain

[dionysus]

8. and a hope dust sniffer...

:P

9. i think he is kinda of sideways dissenting, heres my summary of this op

I worked hard for Obama(Hillary) and i want you to know it.
Im not happy. Ever.
at least McCain lost.

[AllentownJake]

10. Actually

Other than the bailout and gay rights issues I'm 100% happy. Its a joke amongst some people locally in the campaign in reaction to some others who were in the campaign.

Yes I sometime disagree with him, yet most days on most issues I can't imagine a better person suited for the job.

[mkultra]

11. well, i can understand the gay rights issue but not the other

I have yet to hear a truly logical reason to be upset about the economic recover plan that is more important than giving working Americans their jobs back.

Ive gone toe to toe with people on this and in the end the result is that people against just would rather poor people stay broke than swallow their anger.

[AllentownJake]

12. What I think doesn't matter

He's the President. I'm not. I don't like the bailout plan. I hope it succeeds. I'd rather be wrong than to see it fail. I just have my doubts about keeping the idiots who caused this mess in power by giving them more money. I'd like to see them be held as accountable as the people who were given bad mortgages but that is my sense of justice getting in the way.

:shrug:

[mkultra]

14. yes, it is getting in the way

of regaining jobs. This bailout is the castor oil that we have to swallow to shake the bush bug. now pull your drawers up.

[AllentownJake]

16. I see it as a short term vs. long term pay off

These guys will crash the car again and everytime they crash the car its used as a justification to send more jobs overseas to countries with no worker rights standards. Just my opinion.

[mkultra]

17. well, then i think you havent been watching

in case your not aware, the dow is a precursor economic indicator. It found its bottom in mid march.

[AllentownJake]

18. I know more about finance and economics than the average joe

I'm perfectly aware of what the DOW has been doing. I also know that middle class wages have been stagnant despite the DOW rising for the past 8 years. Under employment has been an ever increasing problem.

I don't base the health of our economy or the welfare of the citizens of the stock market because outside of 401(k)s most Americans don't hold stocks.

[mkultra]

19. well good, then can you tell me why the banks arent lending

they have plenty of capital and the toxic debt is getting bought(despite that asshat krugman's wrong prediction). come on, this is an easy one.


Anyone? Anyone?

[AllentownJake]

21. Easy answer

They view American business as a bad investment right now.

They also view the American worker as a bad investment.

[mkultra]

22. that AND............

They make more money off of Treasury Bonds at the moment. So how can we possible lower the T-Bond Rates?

[Clio the Leo]

4. Well said. NT

[gmoney]

5. Well, your day to work in on White House Truck Farm is Tuesday

And in a few weeks, you'll get some green beans and cucumbers for your trouble.

13. Speaking of prizes

anyone not get their brown shirt yet?

[AllentownJake]

15. They are blue

20. Ditto - The More He Does - The Higher The Bar Gets

Stimulus plan, mortgage plan, child healthcare, bank bailout, auto industry in peril, G-20 meeting, NATO summit, budget, etc. This is freakin stressful!

Obama must be crazy, because I am not President, and I'm stressed by simply reading the NY Times. I've become a policy junky whereas under Bush, I did not really focus on the details, because I already hated the big picture. For example, social security privitization. I hated the basic concept, so what's the need to focus on the implementation details under Bush. However, I generally agree with Obama's positions, so I end up sweating the small stuff.

[smoogatz]

23. Yup. When did he turn into Obamaclaus?

Suddenly he's supposed to be everywhere at once, handing out goodies.
