Well, it's a start...

How about a little more forceful language? I mean, if what I'm learning is true (that Iranians think he's a wacko), and he's making these statements from inside the US, I guess what I'm looking for is more from POTUS.

Something like, "You know what? F*** you and your ignorant statements. Get your short, powerless a$$ on a plane and don't come back, you're no longer welcome in MY country."

Honestly, I would stand up and applaud.

Now, I'm sure I'll hear a hundred reasons why I'm wrong, and I'm open to that, but really - Wouldn't it be cool to hear some Reagan-type fusillades from BO?

[heliochrome85]

he may be wacko, and largely unpopular in his country, but we all know that the people dont decide who is president in iran.

some say the same is true here.

they also wear tin foil hats, and scream about socialism, and the will of the people.

DEATH PANELS

[heliochrome85]

i mean if im honest, i dont think they would be all that bad. i mean it would make getting rid of incumbents alot easier

[IBCoupe]

SOCIALIST

[heliochrome85]

your spelling leads me to believe that you are one of the elite class that is out of touch with the real american people.

[IBCoupe]

<< FAKE AMERICAN

[heliochrome85]

i like where this is going.

rather than post this in its own thread, i was just forwarded this

yeah, as they say, THESE COLORS DONT RUN.


also, a man on the subway yesterday decided that I was in the armed forces, and he wanted to thank me for my service. i told him several times that I was not actually in the military, but nope, he wasn't having any of it. This place is like one of Courtney love's bad dreams. I love it so.

[IBCoupe]

Well, that's what you get for bothering to deal with NYC, and all its latte-drinking elitists.

Since when did the word TALL ever give you the impression that it was a SMALL?!?! Thats some wacky Starbucks logic if Ive ever seen!

I LOVE LEWIS BLACK

[AZhitman]

I hate Starbucks.

[IBCoupe]

And there was much rejoicing?

[HashiriyaS14]

Obama's not going to go on a tirade about this, and if he does it'd be awkward. That's not who he is, he's not an emotional cat.

[AZhitman]

That's not who he is, he's not an emotional cat.

Uhhh, wait.

Every damn recap of every grand speech he gives regales in his "impassioned" delivery, his "charismatic" engagement, his true sense of "caring".

He sure got emotional when the crazy old professor got arrested trying to break into his house.

I think the words I'd use are "reactionary" and "spineless".

[IBCoupe]

He used the word "stupid." If that's what you call "emotional," you must not get out much.

[AZhitman]

Nice try. So, lemme turn it around:

The police department in a US city, made up of good, hard-working, respectable Americans, behaved "stupidly".

Yet Achmedinnerjacket's comments are simply "hateful"?

Oh, scary.

[IBCoupe]

I really don't see your point.

[AZhitman]

My point is, it's spineless and cowardly to fail to respond focefully to comments from one person (for whatever reason) but tee off on another because they're "safe" to criticize.

Kinda like the drunk husband who'd NEVER think of verbally abusing the female bartender, yet he comes home and rages at his wife.

I think BO can be witty and even humorous. What harm could there have been in taking a potshot?

[IBCoupe]

I'm not suggesting that we should restrain ourselves from calling out people for what they are... but I just don't think saying that someone "acted stupidly" is all that "emotional."

[AZhitman]

OK, I'll go with that. Still woulda been cool to see him go all Chris Tucker on the guy.

[IBCoupe]

OK, I'll go with that. Still woulda been cool to see him go all Chris Tucker on the guy.

The President? The day before his last day in office (whenever that ends up being), I expect to see some fireworks. Rahm Emmanuel style.

Does he still send dead fish to people these day?

[IBCoupe]

Well, it'd just be cruel to send live ones.

[AZhitman]

I expect to see some fireworks.

If, by "fireworks", you mean a full-on, stiff-legged fit, replete with wailing and gnashing of teeth, looking like something out of a Sally Struthers commercial, and cries of, "...don't you people know who I am?" with moving trucks in the background, then yeah. I agree.

[AZhitman]

Does he still send dead fish to people these day?

Was that a Jew joke?

[IBCoupe]

I hate lox. Only way to eat raw salmon is on sushi.

[stebo0728]

No, this guy ACTUALLY sent dead fish to political adversaries in the past.
