Maybe you love Obama and really really want socialism, but I can't see how anyone would vote for "Extremely well. We are undoubtedly moving in the right direction." At very least, even if all his programs work, he needs a lot more time. Things are NOT going extremely well.

No one wants socialism, people want the country to change and to prosper. To be honest, how in the world do you judge Obama in a vacuum, and not see what he was handed? If bush had stayed in office things would have kept getting worse and worse, and common sense suggested that things were going to get worse before they got better.

I agree 100%. I wasn't making a commentary on Obama, ok maybe a little. But my point was, how can anyone think things are extremely good?

Geeze dude I am just a noob (At least this username) and I admit that. Even though the number of post’s really mean nothing.

But just wundering.

If you have ever had an intelligent thought or do you just post to hear that BB of a brain rattling around in that box car you call a head?

Or are you like a couple of other posters here that simply post to stir the defection pot.

P.S... if it is it is kewl with me it’s kinda funny. But really you sound like a mina bird.

You know, if you pulled your head out of your *ss long enough to read what's on your monitor you'd realize what a giant cluster*uck this board has turned into.

Every single mind-numbing day all this board does anymore is gripe and complain about something. Also, it's usually the same people griping about the same thing ad nauseam. It's either Obama, Guns, or Mexicans.

And to be quite honest, some of these same people who complain about mexicans are the same people who complain about the "brown people" too. It's called "closet racism" and they love to hide behind the illegal immigrant argument.

So to answer your question? Yeah, I stir the pot. BFD.

Now really KC...

Your saying your here to keep the board from imploding?

That if it wasn't for you and guys like you the whole darn thing would just become the Oklahoma Dust Bowl?

I wouldn't blame Phil one bit if he banned the next guy that posted a political view....but he's tried to keep it so you can say what you want.

Now your going to say everybody but you are closet racists?

I think you ought to unplug that computer for awhile.

I kinda thought getting elected POTUS was a pretty big deal, seems lots of people thought so, some on here seemed to think it was pretty allsome I seem to recall. Some of those peeps liked to come on here and argue with us anti-Obama folks about HOPE and CHANGE. In fact they seemed to enjoy it, their guy had just won the election, it was super-duper historical and all that.

Now that it would seem Obama is not in fact the Messiah, or even a good President for that matter, some of those Obama supporters have left, or they have at least quited down. Others seem to have become surly, talking about how politics are ruining the SO and such. Funny sometimes the turn of events we witness.

Six months is a great measuring stick isn't it? Besides, you yourself have stated that you want him to fail which makes you no different than Limbaugh in those terms. If you want the prez to fail, then that means you want the US to fail, anyway you slice it. So keep on hating for whatever your reasons are...

And for the record this board went to schit way before politics were involved. Politics have only added to the fire and screwed this board out of what it used to be way back when... and people wonder why most of the original posters and mods left....

Curly Bill
7/24/2009, 06:40 PM
1. Yes I want the President to fail, I feel if he succeeds we will be a socialist nation when he's done. I do not want the country to fail, I feel like if Obama succeeds it only increases the odds that we fail as a nation. Sorry if you can't see the nuance in that line of thought.

2. ...and yes I know, we all know, how much cooler the board used to be.

Don't throw that crap at me. Your the one complaining about the place that he comes to visit each and every day to combat, as you say, the whiners and the racists of the board.

You just acted like you were immune and at a different omnipotent level than the rest of us....which is utter crap.

Seriously...maybe you should unplug from at least the SO for awhile before you become what you despise.

It really depends on our Asian friends. As long as they're dumb enou...wait...let me start over...

As long as our Asian friends are kind enough to buy trillions of dollars of our bonds, then the skittle-sh*tting unicorn will keep on rolling.

I don't know what the hell they will think if we don't pay them back, but who gives a sh**. Aren't they supposed to be good at math? They couldn't see a ponzi scheme if you grabbed one with both hands and shoved it up their arse.

I know I'm on borrowed time.

I like to talk about economics when I'm drunk. I also like airplane crash videos, disaster movies about asteroids hitting the Earth, and youtube vids of some indian using himself as a grounding rod between the top of a passenger train and a hot wire. Amps, man. Amps. They are bad for you. They need to teach that sh*t in the 3rd world.

I was driving down Broadway Ext. and got passed by this boat..a big 1990's Ford Taurus that was belching smoke and hauling arse. On the rear bumper he had a little tree tacked on and a sign that said "Carbon Offset"
