I am amazed at the hypocrisy of some people

[jazzimov]

I'll admit, there is no schadenfreude I enjoy more than when a Politician who crusades against sexual deviance is caught in a sexual scandal.

I'm pretty much a sexual deviant by most of their standards because I believe in extra-marital sex. Frankly, I don't believe in marriage at all, unless we could go back to the days when it's only a year at a a time. But that's really just a side-issue.

There are so many people who heard Obama's inspirational message of "Yes, WE can" and somehow interpreted it as "Yes, I can".

Obama restored the balance of the Constitution, where the President made recommendations and the Congress passed the Laws and the President was forced to carry out the laws that Congress passed.

And yet, so many people seemed upset that Obama didn't act as a Dictator and give them what they wanted.

Yet, he managed to rid our military of DADT - not with a sweep of his Executive pen, but in a way that will last. He managed to get DOMA declared unconstitutional - this was something he couldn't have done individually. He could have just passed an XO saying "don't prosecute it", but the next President could have just repealed it.

For all you 420 advocates, he knows. Holder has already proposed changes to the way we prosecute drug laws. Holder is not Obama, but Obama trusts Holder to do his job with all the pressure that's upon him. No matter what he thinks is "right", he still has to follow the law as passed by Congress. He is in a very precarious position. If the President doesn't like his job, he can be replaced. But his job is to do what Congress tells him to do.

Basically, he reports to 2 different managers. I' d hate to be in his position.

1. I'd hate to be in his position too. That's why I didn't run for president.

2. So you'd buy a marriage license every year?

That could add up

By the way, watch out for Holder. He's probably prepping us to accept more low-level crimes as federal

3. The President just can't win on any issue...on any side. I heard complaints today by people who

favor reforms to mandatory minimums complain that the Obama administration was giving them what they wanted. The complaint...and it made it sound like Obama institutes mandatory minimums...was that it took too long for the administration to address the issue. They didn't even sound happy that the issue was being addressed.

It's like..."I dislike you Mr. President, but I really hate you when you do what I want."

4. Sorry

He lost me long ago. I just want his term to pass as soon as possible.

I shall await to see what Holder actually implements before I give credit. Certainly the talk is absolutely right on. As it has been many times before.

5. So Republicans are secret deviants. You're a deviant, but open about it, so stop blaming stuff...

...on Obama because Holder's doing most of the bad stuff anyway and really doesnt have a choice in the matter? Sounds legit to me.

6. "But his (the President's) job is to do what Congress tells him to do." WTF?

Sorry, no, that's NOT the President's job.


Any my complaint isn't "that Obama didn't act as a Dictator and give them (me) what they (I) wanted." It's that I got too often got the opposite of what I wanted, to wit ...

Geithner

Drones

Summers

Holder

"Looking forward"

Mandatory commercial, for-profit, health insurance


there's more, but you get the idea.

7. So what does 'believe' mean? Something unseen. The questoin is are you married?

If yes, go look up 'hypocrisy' and try again.

8. Obama is supposed to be "Magic" to some

And to those who find out that he isn't, it's a grave disappointment.
