Awknid
(381 posts)And said that even though he hasn't been able to do a lot of what he promised I am still so proud that he is my President. And I meant it.
He has done a lot of good for a lot of people, even though he hasn't been able to stand up to the MIC or the Big Banks, etc. etc. When I think of what they did to JF Kennedy (who planned to end the dominance of the MIC), I almost understand Obama's change of direction. ALMOST!

(13,985 posts)The 1% would have suffered if the country had went into complete economical colapse.
What about FISA? And the NSA? And the drones killing thousands of inocent people? What about Guantanamo? What about healthcare? ( or better said, the lack of it)
What about our schools ans hospitals closing down? Roads and bridges colapsing? The minimum wage being trolled around like anyone could possibly live off it??
Just freaking spare me!

Reminds me of that picture of President Obama where he looks stern and the caption below reads something like, "Be quiet. Adults are talking." Gotta love that one.

can't you fucking take a break? Your position on this thread does not help your ideology one teensy tiny little bit. Assholishness has a time and place.....big clue: insulting those that simply want to wish POTUS a happy birthday isn't the right time or place.

(12,504 posts)pissy little poster thinks that the posts that congratulate Obama only belong in the BOG.
Tell, is there a rule that says that GD on DU is only about slamming Obama? Isn't there a hypocritical flavor to the term "echo chamber" as she attempted to ap;y it to the BIG and what she is implying is the type of posts that belong in GD?
You seriously don't see that?

darkangel218
(13,985 posts)Are you denying POTUS has let millions of his supporters down?
LOL!!
Drunken Irishman
(34,857 posts)Prove to me he's let millions of his supporters down. But beyond that, this isn't a thread to debate Obama's merits - it's to wish him a happy birthday. It's really amazing how some of you Obama haters have to constantly piss on pro-Obama threads with your bullshit. Hey, we get it, you don't like the President! Guess what? There are a dozen other threads being started this instant where you all can go squat in and trash Obama ... why does anyone feel the need to pop into a pro-Obama thread just to make a snide comment? What is the point?
So, spare us the bullshit and GTFO.

Drunken Irishman
(34,857 posts)So, I don't know what the hell you're talking about.
The only question I asked was to prove millions of Obama supporters were disappointed with him. You didn't. Not surprising.
louis c
(8,652 posts)I've lived through many Presidents. My adult life has consisted of Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush (I), Clinton, Bush (II) and now Obama. Some of these guys sent my friends off to die for a lie. Others destroyed their lives by bankrupting them. Still others took away their dignity. All in all, some were good, others bad and still others, awful.
Thank you President Obama, for being one of the very good ones.

Obama may be the last person who achieves this if the right wing has its way.
While I may have some differences with his policies, make no doubt I look at Obama in that upper pantheon of presidents. His Achievements have truly been historic. Just his being president is incredible.

There's this of Bill Clinton. But like I said, it's been touched up using color (so, I don't think that counts):

(24,544 posts)And how his mother basically had to sit and watch children humiliate her son. I honestly have no idea how she did that. I don't have the strength to sit by and watch anyone mistreat my children, even if it's a cultural thing. Those kids would have heard from me, I don't care how old they were.
