Aside from his Arabism and his Muslimism and that he hates Amurrica I really hate how he denounced us Republicans on our 25% cut on education. Fuckin' dick I'm rich.

[MurrayFiend]

The NEA thing just makes me think, "Well, maybe Toby Ziegler smiled for once when he heard that" and then it makes me think, "Wow, I've been watching too much West Wing."

[Skate4RnR]

I also HATE how Osama got the young and the black voters out. Pissed me off, I hope that doesn't make them think they can vote again.

[joey64]

Yeah, because we need even more uneducated, uniformed, American Idol watching morons casting a ballot on the future of this country.
We need less people voting in this country, not more.

You’re running again?

April 4, 2011

Dear President Obama,

Normally when someone applies for a job they have a record and a resume to present. Even a birth certificate for certain positions of higher responsibility. I’ll let Mr. Trump handle the birth certificate thing, he seems to be real upset over it, and so long as he never utters the words “third party” he has my full and complete support in his endeavor. In your case we have something far more valuable, albeit costly in lives and wealth, but valuable nevertheless. That would be the experience of having you as our President. As with most liberal democrats it has been extremely expensive and XXXXXX.

When you were campaigning you banged the anti war drum so much you looked like that Indian from F-Troop. All you lacked was the war paint. Yet, as President you slathered yourself in all the warpaint you could find. If I were in a middle eastern country I would be sleeping under the bed in kevlar underwear. I’ve got to wonder if you were lying to your core supporters then, or are you lying to the American people now? Doesn’t it seem even slightly odd that you would expect the same people who voted for you based upon the astroturf from the “anti-war-bush movement” to now be motivated to vote for you? Sure does to me. In the 60’s this drug infused movement voted happily for Nixon, though they never admitted it, because they had witnessed what LBJ and McNamara had done to this country. It is comforting to see Secretary Gates at least marginally call you out for your misguided leadership.

Domestically we can’t be in worse shape. You have placed the American peoples collective XXX in the ringer and you are squeezing every productive bit of milk out of it that you, and the rest of the liberal democrats, can lay their hands on. Which is odd considering that you are converting the insurance companies into tax collectors and doctors into subsidized agents of the federal government via Obamacare. The next time I go for my prostate exam I’ve little doubt they will be searching not only for any signs of cancer, but anything of value I may be hiding, because if you win in 2012 that is the last place any American will have to place anything for safe keeping. Sure hope Barney Frank is not around to write the legislation to fix this problem. As for the job market. It is dead in the water. Worse, sinking so fast James Cameron is considering making another film about it and casting you as the Captain of the USS Obama, you can forget sending out the life rafts they were sold to pay the interest on our debt so you could pay off your union friends.

As for Americans on an individual basis they are as shafted as ever. In order to keep our homes our 401k’s are nearly gone. Bearing in mind that the government used trillions, to cover over the whole Fannie and freddie scam that worked on foreign countries right up to the point that we could no longer carry on the scam. Maybe you should have hired Mr. Madoff to run it? As for you, Mr. Obama, you were hired to repair the economy, fix the housing market, and end the war. While I disagree with the end the war part. You spoke, and the people decided. You could say “Obama lied and people died.” I’ve got to know how much did you pay that guy “Ed” in your first campaign video to lie and say those words, because if he believes them I’m a monkeys uncle.

Respectfully,

Joe Doakes

[MurrayFiend]

Dear Mr. Doakes,

I doubt the President will take your message to heart either way, but perhaps focusing a bit more on writing in complete sentences would make you look like less of a retard.

Not so respectfully,
Murray L. Fiend

Not so respectfully,
Murray L. Fiend

Also, Obama's resume will include almost four years as president, which gives him more presidential experience than anybody who could run against him. Therefore, using what Mr. Doakes presents as logic, Obama would be the most qualified for the job for which he's running and therefore the most deserving.

[RATTdrools]

I also HATE how Osama got the young and the black voters out. Pissed me off, I hope that doesn't make them think they can vote again.

Sorry! He killed Osama! Obama showed the greatest terrorist on earth who is boss!

They should have detained him and given him a fair trial in New York. What is wrong with you?

[SeminiferousButtNoid]

Dear President Obama,

Please stop killing innocent civilian women and children with drone attacks and cluster bombs. And if you have time, call off your justice department from letting guns walk to Mexico and destroying government whistle blowers and undermining the free exercise clause for religious groups. And if you get a chance, please stop trying to amend the Freedom of Information Act when you have to turn over information to the public and violating the War Powers Resolution and shielding mortgage defrauders and financial charlatans from prosecution. Also if you can fit it into your schedule, please stop supporting repressive dictatorships like Saudi Arabi with $30 billion dollar arms deals because they supply us with oil and then decry repressive dictatorships who
don't supply us with oil. It looks hypocritical.


Thanks,

Buttnoid.




P.S.

Try not to order the CIA to assassinate any more American citizens, you know, the targeted assassinations you condemned as wrong when you were a US Senator in 2007.

[WhiteHouseSubsAC]

Was he actually present when he was a Senator to offer such a condemnation?

[joey64]

SPEND, SPEND, SPEND....

my god....

where is the money coming from?

some of it they are borrowing from China, & it will have to be paid back WITH INTEREST, 10 generations from now they will still be paying it back
