In Defense of Barack Obama – OPEN THREAD

By 1124 on June 4, 2012 at 10:00 AM in Current Affairs

I think it’s high time one of us spoke out in defense of Obama.

Hmmmm….

OK, so, I got nothin’. How ’bout you?

Come on. You can do it. Even if I can’t, you can. Right?

  • HARP2

    The truth about Obama >??????
     

  • Hokma

    It appears he’s a good father and he can sing.

    • sowsear1

       Stalin was a good father, too.

      • Hokma

        But there is no evidence that Stalin could carry a tune.

      • http://www.dwarfhamster.com/ dst

            Actually when Stalin’s son was capture at Smolensk in July of 1941 the Germans thought they had a prize. When they tried to trade him for a captured general Stalin told them to keep him.

        • Hokma

          It was what Obama calls ”a teachable moment.”

    • sablegsd

       What makes you think he’s a good father?

  • BuzzLatte2

    I’d love to hear him sing on the witness stand in his defense.  Ummm, man, I have vapor lock on this one.

  • KenoshaMarge

    Wrong! There just ain’t that much Kool-Aid.

    • Flop_Flipper

      Where can I get me one of these? Hell, I’ll take a gross and pass them out on street corners.

      • KenoshaMarge

        I wish I knew. It’s just an image I found online. I too would buy them by the gross. Hell I’d knit them together and make myself a coat.

  • FormerLiberal9

    What do you all think about this ad from the Catholics.

    • DianaLC

      I’m not Catholic, but I am Christian.  I do like it.

    • HELENK2

       I really do not think that backtrack understood what he was doing when he took on the Catholic church. They did not last for over 2000 years by being weak.

      • http://twitter.com/ChocChipsMusic The Chocolate Chips

         President Obama stands with women, unlike the Republicans and their War on Women.

        • Anthony_1

          what…  ever…..
          Recess is over, Pre-K finger painting hour is about to begin.  Better get back inside

          • KenoshaMarge

            The only War On Women I’ve seen is the left’s War On Conservative Women. With a Democrat Women that doesn’t get in line thrown in for seasoning. Like Hillary Clinton was.

            Delusional trolls are a dime a dozen. The Kool-aid rotted their tiny little brains and now the only thing they can find to do is go spew some bullshit on a blog that doesn’t care what they say, doesn’t believe they are capable of a rational thought, and mostly just ignore them.

        • DianaLC

          I hate to say it but your cookie is running very low on chips.

        • sablegsd

          You have to pay someone to remind you to breathe, don’t you?
          Hey, at least you created a job.
          That’s more than Ovomit has done.

        • Flop_Flipper

          Are you implying that he wears heels?

          • Anthony_1

            Proof of that

            • Flop_Flipper

              Please do. And if you can get our model Twiggy to try it on that’d be a blast.

    • KataKimbe

      I am a catholic.

      • Anthony_1

        and I am a catholic cataholic…  GREAT pic!

  • FormerLiberal9

    I am glad he is staying out of Syria. That is about it!

    • Flop_Flipper

      I wouldn’t mind if he went to Syria. He could take Michelle and Joe on vacation.

  • DianaLC

    His family did a poor job of raising him. 

  • HELENK2

    when it comes to finding something  good about backtrack  all I can say is this

  • foxyladi14

    Nuttin here.          LOL

  • FLDemFem

    Um..uh..ahhh..uhm…ah..uhh..hmmmm…oh, never mind. 

  • Anthony_1

    Well, there was this grey cashmere crew neck sweater he wore during one of his more “folksy” speeches that I thought was very tasteful.  

    Otherwise, I got nuthin’

  • HELENK2
    • Anthony_1

      Great link.  Here’s an excerpt:

      “UM:  The president you mean?  He watches videos of the drone attacks?

      WHI:  Yeah – like it was…like it was porn.  I can’t emphasize…I don’t think I’m painting a clear enough picture here for you of how this thing has people really freaking out inside the administration.  It’s good on one hand because it’s got more of them willing to talk…but…the fact it’s gotten this bad…these drones…an American president who has the video sent up to his personal study so he can watch them over and over again…like I said – sh-t ain’t right.  And more and more people are figuring that out – and that is what has Jarrett concerned.  But even she…Obama won’t listen to her on this one.  Those drones are the one thing he really feels he has control over…all the rest…he’s been told what to say and where to go…when to wake…when to sleep…but the drones.  The drones are all his – and he ain’t given those up.  For nobody.

      Agree that this is scary, but somehow imagining The Dog Eater watching drone videos and spanking his monkey like a 14 year old gives me a bout of the giggles that makes Anderson Cooper look like a rank amateur…

      • Flop_Flipper

        I’m almost beside myself in torrential laughter. That’s exactly the same image I had. Sick minds think alike. Or is that great?

        • Anthony_1

          How about both?  :)

          • Flop_Flipper

            LOL! Nope, I hadn’t even thought about his accessories, though the Pee Wee Herman look came to mind, for some reason.

    something is going on with the internet today.
    I just went to  two different sites and got a warning from my trendmicro about dangerous page

    John Smart and Katz Porch.
    both of these sites seem to be under some kind of attack

    Like they said in THE PRODUCERS about Hitler – I hear he’s a great little dancer.

    • Madame_deFarge

       I have seen a couple of different videos of his dance moves…not a good dancer but you can see he thinks he is.

  • KataKimbe

    LMAO. Loved the long detailed article. ;-)

  • http://twitter.com/ChocChipsMusic The Chocolate Chips

    President Obama took over an economy losing nearly a million jobs/a month after the worst economic disaster since the Great Depression (caused by the same policies Obama’s opponent, Mitt Romney, wants to double down on) and has turned things around to the point where there have been 27 consecutive months of private sector job growth… despite the Republican opposition doing everything they can to derail an economic recovery for political gain!

    Oh yeah and maybe the best thing about President Obama? He’s not Mitt “Etch A Sketch” Romney… :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBAPSmGTUbA

    • Anthony_1

      We’ll see how much better you feel when President Romney balances our budget.  So far, The Dog Eating POTUS has yet to submit a plan.

      • http://twitter.com/ChocChipsMusic The Chocolate Chips

        Are you seriously calling him a “dog eater” because of something that happened when he was 8 years old? How about Mitt Romney has a full grown adult torturing his own dog? bit worse, eh? How about Mitt Romney as teenager torturing a kid because he is gay? Way worse, eh?

        You are blind.

        • Earl Stick

          Torture!  Torture??  LOL!!!
          How do you figure it’s torture for a dog in a cage to be on top of a car?  Is that like a zillion times worse than putting horses and cattle in a trailer?  It’s a gigazillion times worse than letting a dog ride in the back of a pickup truck, right?  Boy, they hate that!! LOL

          And who says he tortured a kid?  Oh, you mean those reports that were immediately debunked by the family of the so-called “victim?”  And even if the exaggerated reports were true, which they weren’t, you really consider tackling a grown man and cutting his hair to be torture??  Really??  Wow, kid, you must have a seriously low pain threshold!  Last I heard, cutting hair doesn’t hurt at all!  Torture?  HAHAHAHAHA!!!

        • sablegsd

          You, CC are a mindless, gullible drone.
          Oh, Ovomit admitted to bullying a girl in school.
          Maybe she was just a composite of all the girls he’s fucked over in his shitty life.

        • Anthony_1

          No, I’m calling him The Dog Eater because he admitted to eating dogs.  

          The family of the boy you claim Romney bullied recalls no such incident. As a matter of fact, the only one who seems to be sure is David Axelrod (and you)

          Unlike the Romney story, which nobody remembers, The Dog Eater himself has substantiated his own dog eating experience.

      • HoosierinDixie

        This is a funny thread. It’s even funnier that the new koolaid kid on the block has to copy and paste something because he can’t think of anything nice to say about Obama either.

    • DianaLC

      Not only are your chips missing, but you seem to be a parrot of some sort.  You don’t have to understand what you write you just mimic what you hear from your master.

  • http://www.theindependentview.com/ Matthew J. Weaver

    A positive comment about Obama?  Well, he has not been impeached.

    • Flop_Flipper

       Yet.

  • FormerLiberal9

    Was a previous comment that I made deleted because I used the word Idiot or did I just make a mistake in posting? I would like an explanation so that I don’t make the same mistake again. Also if my comment was deleted I find it odd because of the frequent use of various curse words used on this site. 

    • Earl Stick

      Your comment wasn’t deleted.  NQ doesn’t delete comments unless you attack one of the staff in a seriously egregious way, AFAIK. 

      Idiot is not a bad word.  Shit is a bad word.

      So you probably just fucked up! HAHAHA

      • FormerLiberal9

         I can handle that.  I did notice that the comment and attachment I responded to is gone and another comment from someone else is gone also. So who knows?

    • KenoshaMarge

      You don’t get deleted for using the word idiot. Or much of any other words. If so I would have been deleted a bazillion times.

      Sometimes it’s just the “net” having it’s way with you.

      • FormerLiberal9

         No it was my fault but I am too embarrassed to mention what I did.

        • KenoshaMarge

          Been there. Felt that.

  • FormerLiberal9

    Some thing just dawned on me. I think that the Republican Party in twenty years will be much different in nature and composition . There will be many more minorities and women in the party and holding offices of importance. And much of this will be due to Barack Obama putting class, ideology and personal arrogance ahead of what is good for the country and its people. He is driving away Catholics, Jews working class Americans (clingers) and many other groups away from the Democratic Party.

    I guess Republicans should thank former President Obama for this help. Obama may be remembered as The Great Divider by historians. 

  • Deapster

    Well it is true that the Obrat flipped the bird in public twice- once when he was talking about Hilary. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zhkq11UExcw. I guess this is how he got to be known as such a grrrrrreat communicator.

  • Deapster

    Obama has a great smile and uses it every chance he gets again, and again, and again, and again …..http://vimeo.com/6747788

    Obama heals fainting ladies. We don’t need no Obamacare, just a bottle of water tossed our way: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhzkltz3ipI

    Without a doubt this is one of the funniest blog posts ever.  I’ve got negative nothing into infinity. November 6th can’t come soon enough.
