And that is what Obama claimed to be about. Too bad for him and the far left now that American communities have seen enough of their needs not being met and are organizing in the other direction. Couldn't agree more. As long as Obama and the Dems (and the Repubs) don't step it up and start solving the problems facing ordinary Americans and the planet, they will continue turning towards Fascism. Thanks Lars.

Moving on...

Like you actually read...

Still pining for the good ol' days, eh? This will help...

What I'm talking about is the essence of community organizing, you degenerate scat muncher! Try to pay more attention.

Apart from the monumental strategic blunder of not putting forth a comprehensive plan of their own and cashing in their political chips while they were ahead, the "communication problem" was a huge part of the health care mess. Not having a plan to sell, Obama sat on the sidelines while the GOP, Pharma, and Insurance cranked the air-raid sirens and screamed "FIRE" and let the politicians in Congress twist in the wind. With the town hall spectacles, the Right showed an Obama team who'd mobilized millions for the election how you light a fire under a politicians ass (even when it isn't an election year). Pols who showed up to the meetings with the idea of getting a message across got their asses handed to them. With the exception of Barney Frank calling a teabagger a dining room table, it literally took weeks before these fools lifted a finger to respond to the outrageous claims of "death camps", "kicking Granny to the curb", etc. that should always have been built into the strategy. For someone going in with as much political capital, as much media savvy, with as large a network as Obama had, to lose something as big as health care because they didn't "sell it" is pathetic. Heads should roll.

I see you're becoming disillusioned. That's sad. What we need is some kind of guy-with-two-first-names kind of revolution! Or an outsider candidate from the middle of fuckinowhere, like John Thune. I know you like that. Where's your spirit? You got no moxie, man! No verve! [video:youtube]

Obama put on a helluva show; at times it was a great speech. It seems apparent, at least rhetorically and apart from this "spending freeze" nonsense, that he does not intend to roll over to the blue-dick Dems and know-nothing Teabaggers (ala Bill Clinton). Let's hope this dog's just got mad and has got some fight in him. It'd be nice to see some MFs getting fired right now: Geithner first and then some of the cheese dicks on his staff. BTW, the Republican rebuttal: How did the GOP manage to find someone with a delivery as gimpy and awkward, a message as muddled and banal, in a tone as patronizing and condescending as Bobby Jindal's response was a year ago? It had everything except the Mister Rogers music.

Hey, Germany has had its ups and downs, but everything's turned out okay for them...

Not absorbent at all. I hope Apple will do better with the iAdultDiaper.

My girlfriend is mad that it doesn't have wings.

So are slave plantations and chain gangs.

Weren't you pretty much "tossing their salad" all that time?

Wow, this is a big breakthrough for you. Congratulations. Now if you could just apply this logic to American conservatism. Would love to see some evidence of this, anecdotal or otherwise. Since, as usual, you'll be unable to provide any, we'll see you in the whiskey thread. Rinse and repeat.

God, you're dumb.

Oh yeah FW, Teddy Roosevelt called. He wants you to take his picture down. He's embarrassed to be seen with you.

"I'm still on the fence"... about corporate domination of the State.

Fairweather, you are a dumbass.

Typical teabagger bullshit...
