Btw, does Obama officially suck?Follow

Holy shit that was awesome!

Only because you asked nicely.

I was inappropriately touched by the Monopoly dude once

Do not pass go, do not collect two hundred dollars, do prepare for a protein ***** in the shower.

I will likely be there running the FF MMO panel again.

I was so expecting this to be a sockpuppet for Varrus. Not sure if I'm upset at the end result or not, though.

The truth is is I am enjoying a healthy plateful of schadenfreude here. After watching and listening to each of you wax poetic back in 2008 about the glories to come once Barry assumed office and that mean ol' bad man Booooosh was unceremoniously kicked to the curb, it is particularly glee inspiring to see the droopy faces around here. Heh, all those promises! And each of them collecting dust up on the shelf of unrealized hope and change. I am practically drumming my heels on the floor in a paroxysm of sheer giddiness.

And the kicker? Some of you actually want a second helping of 16%, errr, 8.2% unemployment rather than maybe, just maybe handing the reins over to an actual businessman instead of a... what did he call himself? Ah, yes, community organizer. Such an enviable and appropriate background for the champion of the powerful engine that is the American economy! Apparently life in the unemployment line must be pretty good for you to worry about little things like killing American terrorists, closing Gitmo rather than housing these gentle creatures in your own backyards, and those eleventy other things Palpitus mentioned.

Meh. The economy will come around sooner or later, right? It's just the worst patch we've been through since, oh, the 1930's. No biggie. Just a tiny bump in the road on the fast track to prosperity. And hey, 8.2% unemployemnt means 91.8% of Americans have jobs, so the glass is half full, right? Right? Shoot, the glass is better than 9/10ths full as I see it! C'mon, just give Barry another four more years of you eating Kraft macaroni and cheese-- oh, too expensive on a baseline poverty budget! --let's make it rice instead. And on Saturdays you can spoil yourself with Cup-a-Soup just to treat yourself. Eight years of this-- no, let's be fair here, ten years of economic decline --is easy-peasy for liberal stalwarts such as yourselves. It all part of the plan, get government to take a larger role in your lives and if standing in line to grab some of that government cheese and food stamps help turn that vision into reality, why, that's just the price we all need to pay!

Allow me a moment to gloat and catch my breath.

That's heady stuff seeing you guys devour your Messiah, your post racial president, your shining light. Even at his worst my opinion of Obama isn't as bad as yours. But make no mistake, the proverbial carbon rod could have done a better job turning this economy around than he did. And today in this financial climate that is ALL that matters. Come November that'll be what this election turns on: the economy. And didn't Bill Clinton make that clear to us waaaaay back in the '90's? It's the economy, stupid. Sadly, he could have been saying that directly to our present occupant of the Oval Office.

Obama could fix Clinton's mistake & reinstate the Glass–Steagall Act, which would certainly help prevent things like the recent economic collapse.

Well, maybe he could if Citizen's United didn't literally hand elections directly to the finance industry. If it wasn't for Romney's social awkwardness, I really don't think the polling would be as close as it is!

I'm deeply pleased that I can mention two people who hasn't posted in ages and they both come running in here like Pavlov's puppies to let me know how pleased they were to hear me speak their name.

If you'd pubbies had put a up a statesman that lives in the real world instead of your fanciful 'businessman' you might have had a chance of stealing the presidential seat away from the despised better'n-you black guy.

My country's not a business and i don't want it run like one.

Well, according to our president the 2nd Amendment is a mere "tradition" and is all about sports and hunting.... NOTHING to do with overthrowing tyranny... nope.. nothing at all. WHY WOULD IT?

What people need to get through their thick hippy deluded skulls is that the 2nd amendment is NOT for HUNTING and it's NOT for protecting oneself against common criminals... it is about the citizens keeping their government in line.
People saying that we should only be allow to own muskets have NO CLUE what the 2nd Amendment is about.

I'll take it a step farther and say that the 2nd Amendment declares that citizens SHOULD OWN ASSAULT RIFLES.... we REALLY should have access to the same **** that the government does... (but obviously that balance has gone the way of the dodo a century ago).

2nd Amendment isn't about taking little Billy out to hunt deer.. it's about preventing what will PROBABLY be happening in the very near future.
Good luck folks!

I've always wanted my own Apache gunship. Make it so!

Ummmm
Here's my rough transcript:
traditions of gun ownership that have been pased on from generation to generation..
That hunting and shooting are part of a cherished national heritage
AS IF it's like another tradition like BullFighting in Spain.. and as if it's NOT one of this countries most important safeguards against corruption and tyranny..
and then he goes onto say that the government is the only one that should have real guns.
