Blindsided? He’s been in office for over a year and a half. And you think these questions blindsided him?
Huh?
The term “Blindsided” implies the questions are unexpected.
Which is worse?
Thinking the blindsided questions are unexpected or the President making it so obvious that he does not have a clue on any rational non-socialistic solution.
I don’t think he was blindsided. I think he was prepared for the questions and handled them quite well. As far as the change that many of us voted for, how can one implement change, when people like John Boner, Bitch McConnell, and his party filibuster each and everything that comes up?
Panama John McCain just did it yesterday with “don’t ask, don’t tell.” When he was running for office, he said that he’d repeal it, now he’s against it.
And then there’s the teabaggers, who should be reminded that tea parties are for little girls with imaginary friends. They should be ignored for they know nothing of the US Constitution, our laws or how government works. They are just puppets for Fox Propaganda, Dick Armey (and his wife, Vagina Navey), the Koch brothers, and other corporatists. They don’t want to pay taxes, yet they don’t want cuts in Medicare or Social Security, or other programs that they benefit from.
If I was up against this bunch of obstructionists and idiots, personally, I would throw in the towel, and leave the country, as these corporations, and their lackeys have ruined this country.
The Fall of the House of Usher/Obama
DURING the whole of a dull, dark, and soundless day in the autumn of the year, when the clouds hung oppressively low in the heavens, I had been passing alone, on horseback, through a singularly dreary tract of country ; and at length found myself, as the shades of the evening drew on, within view of the melancholy House of Usher. I know not how it was – but, with the first glimpse of the building, a sense of insufferable gloom pervaded my spirit. I say insufferable ; for the feeling was unrelieved by any of that half-pleasurable, because poetic, sentiment, with which the mind usually receives even the sternest natural images of the desolate or terrible.
I looked upon the scene before me – upon the mere house, and the simple landscape features of the domain – upon the bleak walls – upon the vacant eye-like windows – upon a few rank sedges – and upon a few white trunks of decayed trees – with an utter depression of soul which I can compare to no earthly sensation more properly than to the after-dream of the reveller upon opium – the bitter lapse into everyday life – the hideous dropping off of the veil.
#2,
I would break it out of the box and SHOW the world what is going on.
I would send a report card on the ADDON BILLS these folks are making and killing things with.
I would SHOW the bills I sent in, and show them being DUMPED, EATEN, TRASHED…
I would go full public display.
Has there been a filibuster since Obama has come into office? I admit the GOB has threatened them but has there actually been one?
GOP
GigG: the rules now state that all they have to do is threaten…no more requirement to actually “filibuster” physically.
Great 3 clips from the audience. My response if I were president.
#1 To the Wall Street guy.
“Basically what Stewart said. Your “industry” has the US economy by the short hairs. The Cheney administration let you fucktards run amok and I need to jam that stick up your ass as well”
#2 The unemployment Republican: My staff has confirmed you’re an unemployed puke who now comes crawling to me for help. Can’t afford payments or that wife? Too bad. Wait in line
#3 Black CFO : I hear you hun, but my magic wand can only do so much. Turns out this is my first time as president and found that the half the Congress is campaigning and the other half is legislating. You seem to have a job, no credit card debt and reasonably smart. Did you just want to tell the world you’re a CFO ? You could have just put that on Facebook.
YEAH – He is a fool for not screening!
He needs to use the Dubya method of Town Hall performance, where only pre-screened, vouched for Republican party members were allowed to attend, with all questions reviewed and approved in advance, and all answers are prepared by the supporting staff and whispered in the ear of the Prez through a headset.
Now that’s the way a Town Hall should be run! This “reality based” Obama method stinks, we need more dissent free political theater! Now that entertainment.
Stalin did a great job at that. Obama should learn from Stalin.
And while we are at it, lets plant a couple of “journalists” in the pres corps to ask softball questions, and make sure that they always get called upon. (Until the ‘journalist’ gets caught running a gay porn site as his main job)
John Dvorak should put on some blackface and include a video of himself going “ooogha… ooohgha boogha.. Obama… ooogha booogha… Socialisms… booogha… oooogha boooogha…” with every political clip that he posts.
At least they weren’t pulled out and shot…
#5, Gig,
Has there been a filibuster since Obama has come into office? I admit the GOB has threatened them but has there actually been one?
Yes. I think it is around 12 so far.
I think more than a few of us wouldn’t mind seeing the Republicans do an actual filibuster or five. Let the country know why nothing is happening in Congress because of why they are talking their faces off instead of discussing legislation. Let the country know why one in six of every Federal Judges is vacant because the Republicans won’t allow a vote on the nominees.
It is time to let the public see what is really happening in the Senate.
ECA: “I would SHOW the bills I sent in, and show them being DUMPED, EATEN, TRASHED…”
And here are the bills POTUS has sent to congress:
1) … NOTHING!!!
He really fooled you fools. You actually think this blowhard has submitted bills to congress! Authoring bills is work; you can’t write a bill while swinging a golf club or shooting hoops. Silly people.
I am so glad some of the words are bleeped out. I know what they are, but I would be scarred for life if I actually had to hear them be pronounced explicitly.
I am also really glad Jon Stewart chooses to use those words even knowing that they will be bleeped out. The content would be at least 72% less funny and 57% less relevant without those bleeped out words, which I do not get to hear pronounced explicitly.
I would like to have seen Obama’s response to the douchbag from Wallstreet. Classic: “I’ve got mine, screw you, and I’m upset you don’t give me more.”
Typical corporate welfare queen. The PUKES, LIEbertTARDS, and NeoCons are all in lock step with him.
Dallas–another perfect response.
People afraid to use credit cards are just as dumb as people who get in over their heads on them. I pay my balance off every month and still get to enjoy regular cash back and bonuses.
>>So much for the screeners doing their job. Har.
Eight years of GW Bush made John forget what representative democracy sounds like.
Not all presidents are so afraid of hard questions that they put dissenters in “free speech” cages.
Not all candidates only speak to one news outlet that only throws them very slow softballs.
I still find it amazing how many partisan morons there are that cling to the faith that their side is different.
Bunch of dumbasses

#5, filibusters and their threats are generally calculated by cloture votes. There have been more cloture votes in the past year and a half than ever in history.
Basically if Ted Kennedy hadn’t died, a lot more “change” would be happening.
Why worry about screening the audience when your own party is out to kill you?
“Walter Mondale, Mr. Carter’s vice president, told The New Yorker this week that anxious and angry voters in the late 1970s “just turned against us —same as with Obama.” As the polls turned against his administration, Mr. Mondale recalled that Mr. Carter “began to lose confidence in his ability to move the public.” Democrats on Capitol Hill are now saying this is happening to Mr. Obama. … He’s the great earnest bore at the dinner party,” wrote Michael Wolff, a contributor to Vanity Fair. “He’s cold; he’s prickly; he’s uncomfortable; he’s not funny; and he’s getting awfully tedious. He thinks it’s all about him.” … Chris Matthews asked his guests if Democrats up for re-election will “run away from President O’Carter.”
And this is just the beginning.
