This just in, Muslims hate Obama too.

[Ugmo]

As do I. I was referring to his supporters.

The dumbest of his supporters. That's like pointing out the "have a brain morans" guy as a typical republican supporter.

Dude, you are really teeing this one up for us.

[tin00can]

The dumbest of his supporters.

If you consider pundits on the left, then I would agree with you.

So the pundits on the left thought Obama would, to use your words, pump their gas and pay their mortgages? Really? Care to provide any proof of that?

Again...you said that "pundits" were saying that. Got any proof of that? Everybody has seen that video, which is just some random idiot. Unless you think that person is some sort of pundit.

[chickenona]

Oh, tinny, this guy always does this kind of shit. A typical "Your Momma" arc:

Say something incredibly incendiary and partisan; present it as ABSOLUTE FACT.

Insist you're not taking one side or another, merely pointing out a STONE COLD FACT.

Get backed into a corner for your gross exaggeration, qualify remark by saying, "Oh, I was talking about his supporters. But it can't be denied as TOTAL FACT that 'the pundits' said the same thing!"

When asked to provide proof of this, present a marginally relevant Youtube clip that can be easily dismissed as partisan bs, embellished with a victorious smilie. Dodge any further efforts on your opponent's part to get you to produce clips of 'the pundits' who back up the faulty reasoning.

Lather, rinse, repeat, top with a huge cheesecakey animated GIF sig pic that both assures fellow posters that you're CERTAINLY NOT GAY and distracts them from the argument, and hope for a real dyed-in-the-wool wingnut like Smoking Gun to appear to take the heat off your bullshit.

[Ugmo]

Oh Shagg/Roxxstar/Yourmomma is much less of a wingnut than Smoking Gun. I don't mind the dude at all.

[KneelandBobDylan]

Yes, we were. And you know it.

You may want to believe you were told that, but it's foolish, and you know it.

[KneelandBobDylan]

It was foolishness to think that the mere election of this man would change world opinion. It hasn't. Sorry.

Are you saying that electing Obama didn't change how America was viewed in much of the world?

Because it did.

Let's see...chopping up my posts in quotes, falling back on using pictures instead of actual words...maybe you are roxxxxxxxtar.

I was thinking Shagg, not that there's a real difference.

BTW, I'm waiting for the pix. It's like his passive-aggressive white flag of surrender.

I'm still wondering which screen name is Kiss Academy. Changed his, but I know he didn't just go away.

He isn't any of the lead idiots...I confess a peculiar soft spot for KA...

America agrees:

And would you say the United States is more respected or less respected in the world than it was two years ago?
Likely Voters:
More Respected 41%
Less Respected 51%

Given that general political undertow, the president’s ratings on national security are remarkably buoyant. While his overall approval rating stands at 47 percent (down 1 point from Democracy Corps’ January survey), more than half of all likely voters approve of the president’s handling of Afghanistan (58 percent), national security (57 percent), “leading America’s military” (57 percent), “improving America’s standing in the world” (55 percent), fighting terrorism (54 percent), and Iraq (54 percent). These are strong figures at a time when America is fighting two wars abroad and continuing to face an active terrorist threat.

4. New Worries about US Global Standing – Now, Driven by Economic Anxieties

Moreover, beyond attitudes toward “hard security” issues, there are signs of resurgent doubts regarding America’s standing in the world. Even though voters are about evenly split on whether the country is more or less safe today, a 51 to 41 percent majority says the U.S. is less respected in the world than two years ago. This is surprising, given the global acclaim – and Nobel peace prize – that flowed to the new president after he took office. Yet a regression analysis shows that this sentiment is driven even more strongly by perceptions of Obama’s performance on the economy – and America’s relative economic weakness – than by his handling of security issues.

Given the economic overlay on these issues, the public’s perceptions of America’s standing in the world may well improve as the recession gives way to recovery. Yet Democrats and progressives may be able to hasten that improvement by adopting a lexicon that links domestic revival with international economic leadership and shows a recognition that our global respect partly begins at home.

To quote James Carville:
"It's the economy, stupid"

YourMomma should read past the headlines.

Shagg and Roxxstar were clearly the same poster. Shagg, Roxxstar, Your Momma - all the same guy.

Citing that poll is beside the point. American perception of foreign opinion has always been pretty meaningless, given that we're historically a fuckload less informed on their affairs than they are on ours.

[MasterOfMeatPuppets]

Citing that poll is beside the point.

Especially when you don't agree with the outcome.

Worried someone is stealing your shtick?

[chickenona]

Whether I "agree with the outcome" (I in fact don't give a righteous fuck about the outcome, because I'm not really an Obama supporter and as stated find the American public pretty ignorant about world affairs and opinion) is irrelevant to the central point of my post, which you of course edited out of it when you quoted it.
