No matter how you cut it, rewarding Obama's failure is a horrible idea.

Jill Stein 2012

I absolutely promise to look into this Jill Stein.  She's not a Muslim is she?
jfps's picture

I wish =/

At a glance she certainly seems like a MUCH better candidate than Obama, but to me she seems to lack experience and a real record of actual successes. I'm afraid it's gonna be a while before Americans get over the mistake they made in electing someone simply because they liked what he had to say.  Her BIG plus to me, is that I don't think she's at ALL a liar.  It WOULD be awfully nice to have a more honest President than Obama.  Also, awfully easy.

All of them "lie" once they become president because they are pulled in every direction by everyone. How can you not understand that by now. Name me one President that was able to keep all their promises in recent times? A Jane Stein, Ron Paul, or a Buddy Roemer would all get ripped apart if they became president and all would be called liars because they would be forced to please their constituencies.

Did Obama "lie" about bringing down all the lobbyists in Washington or about closing down Guantanamo bay to gain more voters....or did he think he could actually accomplish these things? I don't know but either way, he couldn't do it even if he wanted to because Presidents are becoming less powerful these days. Special interest groups are calling the shots.

If all of them jumped off a roof, would you jump off a roof?

Quit making excuses.....

Delphiaticalizm's picture

Not making excuses.....just making realistic statements.....you should try:)'
Tolland Man's picture

Not gonna do it.  Wouldn't be prudent.
Delphiaticalizm's picture

..........would be.

I was always taught not to make promises you can't keep.
Anyway, the liberal way of 'trying' is putting their had out and saying "give me money and fix this for me."

Fix the economy by recycling and green energy. Jugears has been doing that. Gonna need a change of direction to fix this. Doubling down on what has failed wont get a different outcome.
jfps's picture

Has he? I thought that was actually one of his failures.......
noseriously's picture

He failed by investing billions into a segment of the economy which has failed.
jfps's picture

The banking sector?
noseriously's picture

That and green energy.

Fuck, who do I vote for now?

Jeb Bush!

The Bush family just needs a little more time fix this mess.

Anyone you like and respect.  But first, be sure you should really, actually, honestly, LIKE and RESPECT them as human beings. That's my advice.  Do that, and you can't go wrong.
jfps's picture

I dunno. I like and respect George Bush as a person but think he was a terrible president.
Tolland Man's picture

My advice? Forget "person".  Think "Presidential Candidate".  We aren't supposed to be electing someone to just be another person

 

jfps's picture

I'd vote for you. Good person AND good presidential candiate. CAN'T BEAT THAT!

FAR too uneducated and not nearly intelligent enough, but I'd like the job for 1 week.  This country would ROCK!!

What would happen???
Tolland Man's picture

First, I'd try to get arrested for something.  You know, just to get shit really rolling news-wise....  maybe jerking off in a McDonald's at noon while wearing a cape and logged on to Facebook....

It would be nice to elect someone outside this Ivy League cabal.

You mean those are educated and smart people that are presidents?

Damn your country is in far more trouble than mine then.

The smartest move Obama could make right now.... really support the legalizing of marijuana.  He'll wait till the last minute though.  I wish Romney would beat him to it.

All these crackdowns are fucking bullshit!

Tryin' to figure out a way to use "crackdown"......

Barack Obama is a crackdown baby....

d00ds, like, smoke a bowl or something


also, what's a "crackdown"?
jfps's picture

tetris's picture

thanks! couldn't find it in my COED before, now it is there.. with a pretty much the same definition. Fucking slenderman, I KNEW IT

nice word, by the way. As in, "Street protests against strict marijuana laws in Poland have exacerbated the conflict between the fascist, right wing government and people, and led to several crackdowns resulting in arrest of "free hemp" leader"
dw's picture

Well it's just too damned bad the GOP couldn't dredge up a better candidate from the bottom of the barrel,,,,better luck next time guys.
Tolland Man's picture

As long as dumbass people like you continue reward failure, no party is ever gonna worry about having good candidates.  That's why the Democratic party is running Obama again.  And you're just to fucking stupid to get it. They love you in DC.

blah,blah,blah,,,,the negro is going to win AGAIN,,,,you'll get over it:)

You're on MY post now, little feller.... oh, wait.... there's nobody to talk to on your lame ass re-posts.  I guess you get lonely...

 

Carry on.

Yeah it's rough,,,,hardly ANYONE ever comments on my stuff. Golly I wish I was a cool racist troll like you:)
Tolland Man's picture

You couldn't handle it.  Way too much of a wimpy pussy..... not to mention fat and lazy.

I'm sure I could pull off being a racist troll better then you trying to be an  being an interesting person,,,,

DW gets less comments because most of us on SG agree with his posts.....Sorry TM but your posts are so fucking outlandish that they drive us all insane and that's why you get so much attention. It's okay though. We know you like that:) 
Tolland Man's picture

Having most people on SG agree with you is nothing to be proud of.

Delphiaticalizm's picture

Yeah point taken
Tolland Man's picture

Thank you sir. I gotta try and remember that (unlike most Liberals here) you are a reasonable and intelligent person when I respond to you. 
jfps's picture

What about me?
Tolland Man's picture

I'd like to believe that you are in a totally different category. 
Delphiaticalizm's picture

Why I'm so smitten by your response good sir. We're not all drum beating, dope head know-it-all goof balls you know;)
Tolland Man's picture

I am aware of the exceptions that make the rule, such as yourself.  I was once very much like you.

I hope that doesn't terrify you too much.

I know.  Would have been nice to sleep easy, knowing for sure Obama's rein will be cut short.

Also holy shit people still biting on this. My God you people are fucking stupid.

Like Obama, I absolutely count on it.

Giving Mitt a chance is 1 x 10^100000000000000000000000000000000000  times worse than anything obama could pull out of his ass.

Honestly, a politicians "failures" really often seem to just end up being totally subjective to the political interests of the person talking.  He's had a ton of successes too, albeit compromised, always.  

But if you are conservative and you believe that he's failed unless he's fulfilled a typically conservative interest, or made it his priority focus, then, yes, you could say that he's failed.        - or if you have unrealistic expectations for any president.  i.e. he's also not fixed the entire national economy and every ailing area with it, or fixed climate change, or created total world peace, or walked on water either. If that's your expectation, yes, you could say he's failed 

He's a politician who know's how to compromise for the closest he can get with his interests and the interests of the people he represents,
Delphiaticalizm's picture

We are on the same page noob;) However, Obama has not been able to compromise well with the block headed tea party that runs the house. Would you consider that a failure or do you think that the conservative fringe is just too damn bat shit crazy for anyone who is, or will be President....come November? 


Tolland Man's picture

He's a failure because in almost every instance of a prior campaign promise, he has not done what he said he would do, and in many cases he evidently never even intended to try.  Not accomplishing what you say you will attempt or try to do is one thing.  Not doing what you PROMISE you WILL do is another. The only reason Liberals are the least bit concerned that he will lose this election is because of his clear record of failures/lies. Mitt Romney has NEVER lied, or failed to keep his campaign promises as President of the United States.  But you'd rather reelect a proven liar/failure of a President than someone from another party? 

THAT'S partisanship to the point of stupidity.  Obama is counting on it. Again.
