[quote]“O=W” is a bumper sticker beginning to show up on liberals’ cars. After the President’s speech Tuesday night at West Point, I suspect it will spread rapidly.
For eight years, conservatives endured the agony of watching President George W. Bush attach the label “conservative” to a host of policies that were anti-conservative: Wilsonian wars, American empire, vast budget and trade deficits, increased entitlements, and the subordination of America’s interests to those of foreign powers. Now the shoe is on the other foot, and liberals are bidden to hold their tongues as President Obama makes Bush’s wars his own. The usual Washington sell-out is in gear.
It should not come as a surprise. America is now a one-party state. The one party is the Establishment party, which is also the war party. Unless you are willing to cheer permanent war for permanent peace, you cannot be a member of the Establishment… [/quote]
In your dreams guys, the honey moon isn’t over yet. People will love the guy until 3 years into his term when they haven’t a pot to piss in, nor an internet connection to complain on.
No, wait, Obama couldn’t have committed more troops to Afghanistan I’m sure we all remember when he said we should get out of Afghanistan and Iraq and as President he was going to make sure we were out. I believe he said it would happen with in 6 months after his inauguration.
Think he lied?
What about the economy, he had all the answers for that too.
Where are all the ticked off liberals on these topics?
Well, at least we’ll have government run health care and cap and trade- Obama is totally inept. This would be funny if it were not so tragic.

Obama first said the day he moved into the White House, well actually I guess he meant when he became president.

No, I think you are clueless. Obama always said that Afghanistan should be the priority, and not Iraq. Opposite to how Bush had it.
Obama never made campaign promises about getting out of Afghanistan. Democrats have been talking about sending more troops there for years. Obama called on Bush to send more troops, during the 2008 presidential campaign.
Give me a break… “conservatives” fucking LOVED the wars when Bush was president. Invading Iraq was the best thing ever, according to the Right. You fucking LOVED it.
“Conservatives” said “Deficits don’t matter” when Bush was president. Conservatives loved big government programs like the Prescription Drug Bill, because it was purely partisan politics for Republicans to defend everything Bush did. You couldn’t have gotten your noses any further up Bush’s ass.
Reagan’s 11th commandment: “Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican.” How’s that been going for ya’ lately?
Also, Liberals have NEVER thought that Obama was a Liberal. Out of the three Democratic primary candidates (Edwards, Clinton and Obama) Obama is the LEAST Liberal. The only people who think Obama is a Liberal are teabaggers, die-hard Republicans, Libertarian douchebags, and so on, because compared to your perspective, anyone who is a centrist or a moderate Democrat is a Liberal.
Hell some of you idiots on the Right even think Obama is “socialist”. Here’s a clue - a Socialist wouldn’t bail out the banks.
Liberals with common sense always recognized Obama as a centrist. You’d have to have your head in the clouds to think he was a Liberal.

I agree to an extent, but you have to realize that there are enormous differences in debt velocity with the 2.

I don’t think you know what left or liberal means. Obama had the most liberal voting record in the senate. He is nowhere near moderate.
And yes, a socialist government would in fact take over sections of the economy. The bailout purchases authority over the sector. Same with GM. It isn’t quite nationalization, but the government is now dictating salaries/ceos bonuses ect. I don’t know how the government invaliding private industry is not left wing. But yes, a socialist would purchase private industry if they couldn’t just nationalize it.

I’m talking about candidate Obama. If Obama so much as breathed a word of military escalation when running for President the left wing loons would have abandoned his campaign and he would have gone back to being a newbie Senator.
One only has to watch the news to see the left wing of the party claiming that he broke his promises regarding the war.

Obama lied, people died. [/quote]
Turn about is fair play.
Funny how the liberal media will give Obama a free ride when it comes to putting troops in harms way. If it had been Bush there would have been pages written about how he was a war monger. I wonder if the majority of these clowns even realize how much respect they lost when they joined Obama’s campaign last year.

Centrists do not outsource their entire domestic policy to Nancy Pelosi. Additionally, if you were right, then centrists should be supporting Obama’s policies.
Quite the opposite - Obama is hemorraghing “centrist” support, not gaining it, since being elected.

That’s true, but he’s also losing liberal support for his escalation of troops in Afghanistan. No wonder why his popularity is at an all time low. The only group which he’s not losing are the conservatives who never liked him to begin with.

A very good point. From the beginning, Obama began losing the center/independents/moderates with his ambitious domestic agenda. Then, as he is wading into foreign policy, he is losing quite a bit of his far-left support.
It is quite astounding that we had a President elected with so much support and political capital, with a House and Senate in his policy camp (with the numbers to have their will, essentially)…
…who has managed to disintegrate the support of the Middle, threaten to lose his base, and achieve practically none of the wide-ranging agenda he wanted despite his legislative numbers.
I can’t remember a time when a politician mismanaged his advantages so poorly. I think it is a combination of being a terrible executive and receiving terrible advice from his inner circle. Regardless of whether anyone agrees or disagrees with his politics, everyone should agree that he is pretty awful at the actual practice of governing.

There really is no neutral media any longer.

I doubt they will give him a free ride for much longer. Hollywood is starting to turn against him. Once that happens the media will follow. With the exception of MSNBC of course.
