James Carville: 55% of voters think Obama is a Socialist

[justapixel]

What are you trying to prove this time Justapixel?

That the majority of America is ignorant?

No, we knew that when Obama was elected.

 

[BostonPirate]

No, we knew that when Obama was elected.

it took you that long to figure out? I figured it out when Bush won his second term.... can't count the first one, he stole that one.

 

[01solara]

And how many of them think being a socialist is a "bad" thing? They didn't say if being a socialist means that they'll vote for Sharon Asshat.

I mean... 100% of Americans think he's black... does that also mean that it's 6 months to a GOP congress?

I mean... I WISH he was a socialist. Sadly, he's a pretty middle of the road corporatist and he's tried a bit too hard to suck up to the right.

No a lot of Americans think he is half black. The ones that don't are a large part of the problem. Regardless of color he has surrounded himself with radicals and done whatever he could to avoid them having to face confirmation hearings in the senate. His speeches are very dictatorial. Lots of I will not allow and I will not accept. He is the president not the king of the world. He needs better speech writers. Good speeches make the complex understandable. His speeches tend toward making the understandable complex. Professor Obama should be teaching university classes that is what his experience qualifies him to do. I still wouldn't agree with him but he would at least be in a job that matches his abilities.

Knew what? That the majority of America "is ignorant"?

What's it like to despise so many people?

please excuse the snip out of the race comments... I am just weary of the fascination with the mans color.

as for the rest....

You are aware that congress is still 18 months into his term, obstructing some of his appointtees. I know you are aware of that, because you are towing the republican line with the rest of what you wrote.

the only way he can get staff into these positions is to make appointments during congressional recess.

as for his dictatorial tone? Bush's signing edicts were as close to a dictatorship as america has ever come. as for Bush speeches..." you are either with us or against us" sounds as globally dictatorial as it gets... and he followed that up with preemptive wars.

as for the experience issue? you don't get ellected to the office of the presidency because you are a dummy. He is quite intelligent and a very good politician.

I don't really see one thing you wrote that has any basis in reality.

 

[MercuryJones]

His speeches are very dictatorial. Lots of I will not allow and I will not accept.

And this is different from typical presidential speeches in what way?

Good speeches make the complex understandable. His speeches tend toward making the understandable complex.

You're used to being talked down to by Republicans who try to make every complex idea into a bumper sticker. President Obama thinks you're up to a little complexity.

Snip all you want Jasun brought color into it like most liberal/socialist types he is more concerned with race than anyone.

as for the rest....

You are aware that congress is still 18 months into his term, obstructing some of his appointtees. I know you are aware of that, because you are towing the republican line with the rest of what you wrote.

How is that possible he needs not a single Republican vote to make that happen. Could it be that they are too radical for even Democrats.

the only way he can get staff into these positions is to make appointments during congressional recess.

NO the way to get staff into these positions is to pick people that would be mainstream enough to be confirmed.

as for his dictatorial tone? Bush's signing edicts were as close to a dictatorship as america has ever come. as for Bush speeches..." you are either with us or against us" sounds as globally dictatorial as it gets... and he followed that up with preemptive wars.

Listen to his speeches with what I said in mind and you might notice it more. Obama's policies are little different than Bushes in many areas. He has no regard for the United States or it's people as evidenced by his apology tour, his blame America tour, His blame Bush Tour. When I am going to hear him say that his stimulus did not work as planned and that it is his responsibility to submit a new plan that will fix it. When am I going to hear anything other than I inherited a mess. He said on the campaign that he knew how to fix this. Apparently he did not and he needs to say so.

as for the experience issue? you don't get ellected to the office of the presidency because you are a dummy. He is quite intelligent and a very good politician.

Intelligence is a component but without leadership skills it is useless. A good leader surrounded by intelligent people is far better than the reverse. The reason Reagan was so loved is that he was a leader. His speeches communicated principles. He did not talk down to or act superior to the citizens of the United States. That is another one of his problems. He act like the smart guy that is annoyed to have to speak to the mass of Americans because he views them as not worthy of his great intelligence. He is the very definition of an elitist. He doesn't seem to understand he was elected to represent the people not to rule them.

The Democrats know they may well lose both houses of congress this year so they have a plan. If they do they will pass all the unpopular legislation, cap and trade, etc. during the lame duck session. They know the majority of Americans are opposed to these policies so they will ram them through when there is no political price to be paid.

I don't really see one thing you wrote that has any basis in reality.

Reality does not require that you see it to be real. I assure that your disagreement will not cost me a minute of sleep tonight. My views are shared by many as are yours. It is not required that anyone agree or disagree for them to have validity.

You're used to being talked down to by Republicans who try to make every complex idea into a bumper sticker. President Obama thinks you're up to a little complexity.

I have been to University and I know what a lecture is. A speech is not a lecture. They have different purposes. One is to teach the other is designed to inspire. His speeches are not inspirational.

 

[01solara]

But history doesn't have to wait to laugh at you.

When the facts don't back you up insult the OP. That is the way the left does it. It usually goes something like: you aren't as smart as me so you don't matter or you are a racist or you are self hating. It is really getting old. Gay people can have different political views and not be any of the above. The left is on the whole no more tolerant than the right. The funny thing is that is one of the things the left runs on in every election.

 

[BostonPirate]

personal holds and filibusters on ALL of his appointees

this republican obstructionism is ridiculous. If you are even reasonably informed you are aware of that.

the democrats wont lose either house of the congress and you can take that to the bank.

lastly

you need to check before you offend, I am not a democrat.

your assumptions are revealing.

I am extremely informed and if the Democrats can't do it with both houses and the White House, they need to find another line of work. I wish the Republicans could obstruct but they don't have the numbers nor do they control a single committee. They could not put a single piece of legislation or amendment on the table unless the Democrats let them.

the democrats wont lose either house of the congress and you can take that to the bank.

The Democrats will likely lose both. In the real world people are pissed at what the democrats have done. Their policies are opposed by the majority of the American people and they will go to the polls and put a stop to them. The banks aren't what they once were.



lastly

you need to check before you offend, I am not a democrat.

The majority of your points are in support of Democrats. It is not my intention to offend. But I understand if someone called me a Democrat I would be hugely offended so my apologies.

your assumptions are revealing.

I could match your impudent little insult if I wanted but I am not interested in a pissing contest. I would win anyway.

 

[altlover85]

The Republicans are working together despite their differences to obstruct legislation. The Democrats didn't work together when they had the chance and 60 votes in the Senate. Perhaps things are the way they are within the parties because it's easier to stand against something than to try and compromise and come up with something positive.

The irony in this statement. You bash the GOP left and right with insults peppered all over.

 

[MercuryJones]

According to you.

But according to you, he's tyrannical toward other nations in his speeches, despite having lived through "Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall" and "You are with us or against us".

How silly.

 

[MercuryJones]

When the facts don't back you up insult the OP. That is the way the left does it.

But the facts do back me up. The President is not a socialist, and people do laugh at justapixel.

You've cited no facts anyway - just opinions.

 

[JasunStrikesBack]

There really isn't anything more dweebish than seeing conservatives whine about "the chosen one" or "the messiah" or "Obama's lap dogs" or "Obama care."

The only thing more lame is hearing them all go on about how mean liberals are.

 

[MercuryJones]

The only thing more lame is hearing them all go on about how mean liberals are.

While their leaders condemn us as equivalent to child molesters and murders, and deny us and our families legal equality.

 

[MercuryJones]

I don't really see one thing you wrote that has any basis in reality.

And you won't see one thing backed up by fact in his little tirades. A lot of predictions and opinions that are unverifiable or subjective, but nothing in the way of facts.

 

[01solara]

And you won't see one thing backed up by fact in his little tirades. A lot of predictions and opinions that are unverifiable or subjective, but nothing in the way of facts.

I am right more than wrong when I predict things. The only election I ever got wrong was 92 and that was because of Ross Perot. Without him Clinton would never have won. Lots of my opinions are subjective so are yours. Middle America is angry like never before and if you don't think that is going to make a difference you are the one that needs to do some more research.

I never said anything like that. He loves other nations as long as they aren't our traditional allies. He sees his own as the root cause of all the worlds problems and feels the need to apologize. We have gone from our best days are ahead under Reagan to the US can't be relied on to carry the burdens and "the jobs aren't coming back" under Obama. We have indeed come a long way down in a very short time. Just like Reagan rescued us from the Carter malaise we need a real American leader to get us out of the quagmire once again.
