1. Gillespie was so condescending

and Candy Crowley played dumb. She should have said, “everyone knows what outsourcing and offshoring are, and you know this is about offshoring.“ Instead, she said, “duh, ok“.

[Jamaal510]

6. CNN and the rest of the media is busy as always

trying to avoid the "liberal media" label.

[Skittles]

2. he doesn't do anything like that

heck, I don't think Obama even UNDERSTANDS what is going on with offshoring

[tabatha]

7. I think Obama does. Very well.

[Skittles]

8. you must not be in the IT industry

[jeff47]

13. I am.

If you're mad about things like H1-B's, you're mad at Congress. If you're mad about the tax incentives for offshoring, that's Congress. If you're mad about a lack of stimulus bills, that's Congress.

What, exactly, do you think Obama has done to harm the IT industry?

[Skittles]

15. maybe it would help if he thought about it outside of election years

it would also help if he understood offshoring involves more than manufacturing

[jeff47]

16. And what, exactly, is his thinking supposed to accomplish?

The policies hurting IT are set by Congress. Obama can spend every waking moment thinking about IT and it won't change anything because the Executive branch is not the branch creating these policies.

[Skittles]

17. and we know Obama cannot influence Congress

[jeff47]

18. Evidence points to no.

Or did you not notice the lack of a 2nd stimulus, a DREAM act, and a budget?

[uponit7771]

19. Nope, he can't but we can...better put more energy into getting progressive congress than to

...constantly point to only 1/3rd of US government.

It's like people don't understand how the US government works...

[Scootaloo]

20. But congress isn't black, so we can't blame them for every little thing

Yeah, I went there. Tired of the "blame Obama for every loose screw on the ship" crowd.

[Skittles]

12. WTF are you talking about???

you know NOTHING about me

[Scootaloo]

21. I know you constantly bitch about how awful Obama is.

Interspersed with predictions of how miserably he's going to lose in this election.

I don't know very much about you; I don't know about your taste in music, I have no idea what your middle name is, nor do I have any notion of if the carpet matches the drapes. I don't know if you have any children or pets, or pets you treat like children. I don't know what your favorite brand of potato chips is. I've got no notion what your childhood was like, nor do I know what you aspire to in the future. I don't know what famous painting moves you the most and I don't know if you sing in the shower. I have no idea if you're boxers, briefs, or let your units go commando.

But I do know you have a massive, raging hate-on for Barack Obama. So, there's that.

[11 Bravo]

23. That's a cheap shot. For over a decade Skittles has been a dedicated progressive,

bluntly honest and not sufferring fools lightly. Hell, I don't always agree with her, but when she takes issue with a policy, she says so in plain English.
If you piss her off (a word to the wise here) you may be scheduled for an ASS KICKING, but to even remotely intimate that racism plays any part in her politics is pure horseshit.

[dionysus]

24. i didn't imply racism has jack shit to do with anything.

what i do remember is her basically loathing the guy since 2007. lots of harsh smack talked in the primary wars. in my opinion she can't stand Obama because he beat her favored candidate.

plus i always thought Skittles was African American (i could be wrong on that) so construing my post as calling her racist is a misunderstanding.

so it's not a cheap shot. she's hated Obama and laughed at his supporters for years now.

[Skittles]

26. WRONG WRONG WRONG

I voted for Obama AND canvassed for him AND I HAD NO FAVORED CANDIDATE because I felt THEY WERE ALL LACKING so just STOP IT ALRIGHT???

[Skittles]

27. you're wrong about EVERYTHING

I do NOT hate Obama - I voted for him AND canvassed for him so just fucking STOP RIGHT NOW

[WorseBeforeBetter]

28. Ain't that the truth. Thought you'd appreciate...

the jury results.

JURY RESULTS

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Jun 26, 2012, 08:44 PM, and the Jury voted 4-2 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: It is rude and it is a personal attack that only serves to create flame wars.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT and said: I'll go with "disruptive" and "rude," which is par for the course for dionysus. I'll give him credit though, he made it through a post without mention of anything douche-related.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Best Hot Chili Recipe:

Very Spicy Chili

1/2 pound bacon
1 pound chuck steak (or deer)
1 pound thin boneless porkchop (or chicken breast)
1/4 cup all purpose flour
3 tsp meat tenderizer.
2 Pablano (or 1 green pepper), seeded and diced
1 yellow onion, diced
4 jalapeno peppers, semi-seeded
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT and said: This does seem to be an unnecessary personal attack. Skittles can probably hold his/her own, but, really, do we need the name-calling?
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT and said: This comment left intentionally blank.

The recipe looks pretty tasty, and yes, you most definitely can hold your own!

[Skittles]

29. ooh

that DOES look like a tasty chili recipe

[DevonRex]

31. Are you saying Obama is stupid?

That's odd.

[Tx4obama]

3. K & R n/t

[Tarheel_Dem]

4. K&R

[freshwest]

5. And the man fighting to bring those jobs here is Obama. Romney won't even bring his $$$ here...

[DearAbby]

14. +1

[Peaceful Protester]

9. Outsourcing vs. Offshoring (repost)

If your name is Mitt Romney, the difference is:

You OUTSOURCE jobs THEN place profit OFFSHORE ...and in Swiss bank accounts!

[MiniMe]

30. I think he uses Cayman bank accounts

Not that it matters, the point is that his $$ is not in the US

[DallasNE]

10. A Distinction Without A Difference

Is how I immediately characterized the attempt to confuse the issue by injecting outsourcing and offshoring as completely different. This is an even better retort.

[spanone]

22. k&r...
