Environmentalists Feel Betrayed By Obama

[Ed Anger]

Bombing brown people.

I have a hard time believing he'll win re-election with a base that so disappointing.

English, motherfucker, do you speak it?!

Clearly, Tim was engaged in negligent neglect.

What did Bush get done, exactly?  Other than an unnecessary war where he confused Iraq with Iran, his only major initiatives he accomplished was No Child Left Behind, and the fucked up Prescription Plan.  Homeland Security?  A useless mess.
He spent the 2nd term hiding in the family room playing video games because presidenting was hard work.

His only successes were Gitmo, renditions and sending Canadians overseas to get their ball sacks zapped with cattleprods.  And that was Cheney's.

Stop being a commie about the Iraq War.  Remember: bombing is the American way, baseless imprisonment and torture, the Chinese.

The thing is Bush got things done.

The right claps and applauds their leader until they stab him in the back.  The left moan, argue and grumble all the time and then vote for the lesser evil.  At least that's the British experience.

I think Obama's got things done and his approval rating among Democrats and liberals remains in the 75-85% area that it's been for years despite all of these stories about an unhapy left.  My guess is that journos spend more time with lefties who aren't happy and project that more widely.

Having said that I do think the civil liberties left have legitimate grievances, maybe the environmentalists do too

While I don't entirely agree with your post, I do agree that "Environmentalists* upset with President" makes for a story, while "Environmentalists* happy with President" really doesn't.

*substitute name of Democratic base group of your choice here

You know, the problem here is that it doesn't matter if Lefties are upset, as such. This will be spun as Obama caving to Republican pressure, and not a sign that he's an ineffably wise moderate.

And even if he does cave into the Republican pressure he will still be called an "extreme leftist".

By whom?

[The Brain]

  Obama isn't effable?

[Eddie Teach]

He's no Bubba, that's for sure.

True.  But the fact that he's distantly cerebral and academically aloof to the point he makes Jimmy Carter seem like a Barney Bad Ass doesn't help.

Yeah.  Hillary would have been a better choice.  I made the mistake of thinking that if we elect Hillary we'll go through the same annoying shit of the 1990's.  Turns out, who ever we elect President who doesn't have an "R" behind their name we get the same crazy bullshit.  I'm surprised someone hasn't blown up a federal building.

If Hillary had won, there never would've been a tea party.

Why?  Would she have killed them?  The woman has balls.  More balls then Obama.  Obama, bless his heart actually thinks that you can sit down with people and work things out.  It just doesn't work with people who believe that Red Dawn is a documentary.

Because Obama is black.
