Nearly every thread on freeper site about Obama
Some about how his Hawaiian vacation is so expensive proving he's a "limousine liberal," some about how he's really there to do something nefarious about his birth certificate, some about the Blagojevich scandal, and some about how his shirtless pics must've been staged/photo-shopped and how out of shape he is. :rofl:

1. Obama was born in Hawaii
Hard to make the argument that he is a limo liberal.

3. There are threads about that, too, saying it's so pathetic how the media is "covering" for him
by always saying things like, "his birthplace Hawaii" or other things "trying to show" he was born in Hawaii. :rofl:

39. Yes, and at least has some connection to it.
Unlike Bush who might as well have vacationed on a spaghetti western set in Italy. Have they not noticed that instead of going back to his "ranch" in Crawford where he so loved to clear brush and bike, that he and Laura have already bought a house in Dallas? No need for photo ops, no need to live in the boonies. Hey Georgie?

Just because their typical Republican is a total fraud, does not mean every Democrat is as well.

2. Oh dear God...what sad, desperate, pathetic little people.
I was so glad to see that Cokie Roberts' silly comments about Obama being born in Hawaii as "exotic" and "foreign" got the ridiculous punditry of the year award on Media Matters.

Hey, Freeptards? GET THE FUCK OVER IT. Merry Christmas.

4. It IS pathetic...
Edited on Thu Dec-25-08 04:46 PM by jenmito
but funny, too. They're also questioning how he could really have loved his grandmother since there's a picture of him not wearing a tie when he went to spread her ashes, how he didn't go back to Hawaii for so long, etc. If you wanna check it out, here ya go: http://www.freerepublic.com/tag/hawaii/index?tab=articles

5. What does a necktie have anything to do with it?
Irrational exuberance of the intellectually challenged.

7. In their little brains I guess it means he's not "serious" about the whole thing?
They also question why he hasn't been to church. They really are reaching.

11. Poor things never get out of their basement
and don't know that "ties" are obsolete on the Islands. Very exotic, doncha know.

14. I lived in Hawaii. Things are much more casual there.
Most businesses that my parents dealt with had dress codes that did not include ties and jackets... I even remember seeing city council members on TV in short sleeves and khakis.

27. When you don't wear a tie, you make the baby Jesus cry.
Or something. The fuckers imagine that Heaven has a dress code, I guess.

34. I made a sales call in Hawaii once wearing a suit and tie
It was my first visit to the potential client and we were escorted to the conference room. A couple of IT guys are talking to us and the CFO walks in and says 'take off the tie asshole' He then laughed and said he wore his suits for the first week on his job after moving from the mainland and then someone took him aside and explained no suits and ties on the island and gave me places to shop for my next days attire.

13. It's a compliment to Obama...
That they have so little to criticize and what they have is fabricated, meaningless and petty and doesn't in any way negate his brilliance or ability to be a great president.

Our criticism of Bush pre-inauguration:
AWOL
Lacked Intelligence, C student
List of DUI's
Failure, ran every company he ever had into the ground
A product of nepotism

He turned out to be so much worse than we expected or even imagined!

15. You've nailed it, richgirl!
Our criticisms of bush were very telling about the result of his presidency. Their complaints are a bunch of hooey that has nothing to do with anything.

... the first family has to pay for their own food, but maybe you have a point with the electricity. :)

25. The answer is clear: Obama needs to buy a fake hillbilly ranch and pretend to clear brush.
Oh, and pretend to be a born-again holy-roller.

Then, everything will be just fine. All you need to be is ABSOLUTELY FAKE and the Freepers will love you to death.

:crazy:

29. He took care of the BC when he was there before the election to
see his grandmother! :rofl: They think there is more to be done on it? :rofl: Isn't it already a perfect forgery? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I'd like to see one single freeper prove himself to be in better shape - if he can, then IT is the thing that is forged/photoshopped! :rofl: :rofl:

he had to go back to put the final touches on it. And I guess he had to make sure his grandmother was really "gone" so she wouldn't "sing like a bird" about the TRUE story! :rofl:

Although I'm afraid the inspiration for that one may be MY fault.

I didn't realize anyone could hear me.

40. Sounds like as wide a variety of topics as here at DU
How sad we become more and more a mirror image of them (and the coporate media).
