A new insult from the Obama haters: His smile!!??!!
Barack Obama’s amazingly consistent smile from Eric Spiegelman on Vimeo.

Goes right along with all the rest of the predictable crap that is our fearful leader. I bet there’s even a string and a little plastic ring coming out of his back. Gah.

*clicking my heels together 3 times* There’s no place like home. There’s no place like home. There’s no place like home.

2. He's a politician.
They're going to make "fun" of him no matter what. Happens to most (if not all) politicians.

13. Why not? They made fun of everyone else. They mocked Hillary's voice
marriage and physical appearance, they mocked Dean's 'scream". They mock Bidens hairplugs, They mocked Edward's hair and smile.They mock Pelosi's facelift.We also mocked Bush, and called Laura xanexed and made fun of her clothes.
This is what happens in public life and President Obama isn't sacrospect. hey he himself makes fun of his ears! This is a non story. We EXPECT public figures to be mocked.

14. Yeah why not? It's just one more bean on the pile, right?
The camel's back can newver break.t Let's keep piling on, after all, we went to speeches given by Hillary and Bill and Kerry and Bush and ... (whoever you want to put in with your false equivalency) wearing guns and carrying threatening signs.

15. Apparently you are the one with the false equivelancy here.
I guess you didn't realize that Clinton was , at that time the most hated president by the RW ever? Do you really suppose that there were no attempts on his life?

The difference is we didn't "know". it wasn't reported. As for guns, they weren't "visible" the way they are now but there were threatening signs".And the gun sitation isn't unique to Obama. One of our congressman had some teabaggers come to his office brandishing guns and intimidating because it was their "right" to carry them.That is exactly what the guntotters did to Obama.it is not acceptable under ANY circumstances.

But as for the mocking, it is part of politics.Perhaps you will criticize Obama for mocking himself next, or demand that folks only speak nice about dems but have leeway to mock the GOP?
I actually don't like mocking anyone or making fun of them but that is the world we live in and it cannot be taken out of politics.

19. you are really lamentably uninformed. ALL presidents in modern history have been subject to
assassination attempts. Obama has been subject to more than most. The point was the difference between concealed carry weapons and visible weapons and you know it. The RW are using guns to intimidate at this point and it is serious. Too bad you can;t get out of your bubble of hatred long enough to acknowledge a widespread problem because you would rather confine yourself to trivia.

18. I'll say what I should have said the first time. You picked
the thread just to get on your soapbox.

Sure why not? Hunh. There's absolutely no difference. I heard all the secession talk and "grass roots" movements when the Clintons were in office. One thing is for certain, they always talked about using legal process to get the others. Now all of a sudden, it's coop, assasination, and revolution time. No difference at all though. Just pile it on.

You're standing on a piece of plywood. Your soapbox isn't nearly as big as you think it is.

20. I guess you weren't paying any attention to what the RW were saying back them.
They DID use those terms in the Clinton era, but I will grant not to the same extent.They also called him a murderer, and rapist but this isn't compete and compare. I just said all public figures are mocked. So what?I stand by it. it isn't "one more bean" and ALL politicians are piled on at some time. I am not the one on the soapbox.

22. Wow - I guess you must have forgotten that
the internet was in it's infancy when Clinton was starting out - it was nothing compared to now with blogs, opinion pieces and places like this, they just didn't exist in the sheer numbers like they do now.

28. Have you ever sat down and read the front page of
newspapers from the early 1900s? Making fun of Obama's smile isn't even close to what they've printed about presidents in the past.

27. It's an indication to me that we are winning when they are forced to resort to ad hominem attacks
As Martha Stewart would say, "and that's a good thing".
