This guy is simply amazing- i cant think of a time where he HASN'T gotten it exactly right!

[bluethruandthru]

1. I liked the sound of President Weiner!

I love a politician that just tells it like it is.

[monmouth]

4. I've been saying this all along. Our first Jewish President..I LOVE IT!..n/t

[kimsarah]

34. How about

our first Democratic president in a long time with real balls.

[bluethruandthru]

39. Agree 100% n/t

[Luciferous]

15. I like the sound of it too! The guy has common sense, he tells it

like it is, and he wouldn't take any shit from the Republicans. I hope he runs someday... I would love to vote for him!

[dotymed]

45. Me too...

Unfortunately, it seems they all "sell out" after becoming POTUS. Wealth destroys compassion it seems.

[pacalo]

27. I'd LOVE to have a President Weiner! He is as sharp as a tack.

[CurtEastPoint]

2. Weiner. I can't help but snicker but it is an endearing, unforgettable name. nt

[Moostache]

7. We NEED him to be more front and center...

The thugs march out the crazies and the bloodless zealots in front of the cameras and on the airwaves every day to move the conversation and the talking points to the extreme right. We need more Weiners out there pulling it back - and Grayson should be the damn chairman of the DNC....compromise to a true middle is not all that we want, but is a far better alternative to giving up 75% to meet a "not-as-bad-as-it-could-have-been" compromise....

[Dawson Leery]

[me b zola]

6. "Don't make dumb proposals"

:thumbsup:

Love ya Anthony!

[FiveGoodMen]

8. It's a damned shame that whatever he's got isn't contagious!

A few more Dems talking like that each week and the country would be in better shape.

[mazzarro]

12. +100%

Amen!

[colorado_ufo]

21. What he has is a mind that's sharp as a tack,

and you don't catch that - you are born with it. However, the other thing he's got is a spine - and that's something that the Dem leadership CAN grow, with a little focused effort!

[BuckIA]

9. I have a serious mancrush on that man.

[Foolacious]

19. I share a birthday with

Future President Weiner! Okay, I'm a few years older, but still... I bask in reflected glory! :-)

[mlevans]

10. I so wish I could vote for this guy.

Weiner and Grayson. That's a ticket I could get behind big time.

[yellerpup]

11. Plucky truth-telling New Yorker!

Love Weiner! :kick: & Rec.

[demwing]

13. "President Weiner certainly wouldn't have been that measured"

Did you see the look on his face? LOL!



Tell me this man doesn't see himself in the Whitehouse someday, and tell me why he wouldn't do an excellent job while there.

[stlsaxman]

22. Unfortunately, no- he sees himself as Mayor of New York next...

a great loss for Congress and the nation as a result. GREAT news for NYC, but I'll sure miss him.

[demwing]

26. "Someday" not "Next"

First Mayor Weiner, then Governor Weiner, then President Weiner !!!

Dems Vote for Weiner - Republicans Vote for Dicks!

[PatSeg]

43. That's a keeper

"Dems Vote for Weiner - Republicans Vote for Dicks"! :rofl:

[stlsaxman]

55. fair enough... i just don't have that kind of patience- maybe i need to move to NYC

:bounce:

[Confusious]

28. I agree with you all the way

But somehow, I doubt we'd see it. Barney Frank for example, would be AWESOME. I can't say how much as a straight male I love that man. But it won't happen.

[GreenTea]

14. CHEERS to you Rep. Weiner!! You are 100% correct!

[DeSwiss]

16. K&R!!!

- President Weiner is what we need!

[craigmatic]

17. That guy should have his own talk show.

[Maine-ah]

18. I want a bumper sticker that says...

I <3 Weiner

I really do. He's friggin' awesome.

[colorado_ufo]

20. Oh, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

make it happen! President Weiner!!!

I'll send the first campaign contribution!

[ljm2002]

23. You tell 'em Anthony!

That is cutting to the heart of it. These people actually are surprised that the President has the gall -- the gall! -- to disagree with them and say so publicly!

What fools.

[freshwest]

24. Another Weiner Roast of Right Whiners!

[ProfessionalLeftist]

41. LOL! +100

[freshwest]

53. Yes, and Weiner says he got over the Oscar Meyer jokes years ago, too...

:rofl:

[jillan]

25. I LOVE him!

[Ninjaneer]

29. Certified BAMF. GO WEINER! :D

[alp227]

30. He's right, Republicans whine and make noise

especially considering their obsession with BS (not jobs!) at this moment. I mean, I didn't know that defunding Planned Parenthood and NPR and Medicare will rescue jobs and re-stimulate the economy, right? :sarcasm: And I wonder what'd happen if Weiner tried primarying Obama next year?

[Frisbee]

31. President Weiner sounds great. But NO BONER! n/t

[Blacksheep214]

32. This may sound bad, but....

I like Weiner! :pals:

[AmericaIsGreat]

33. Anthony Weiner is a great politician

And a great American.

[Rhiannon12866]

35. K&R! You are so right - Anthony Weiner is just the best!

:applause: :patriot:

[Cass]

36. Love it!! I really like him!

And I'm liking the sound of President Weiner!

K&R

[spicegal]

37. I totally love this guy. He doesn't mince words or hold

back. He's incredibly quick on his feet, extremely articulate, and has a great sense of humor. The Republicans are such cry babies. They demand to be treated w/kid gloves, yet go brutally go on the offense over every little perceived slight whether real or imaginary.

[Volaris]

42. I find it interesting that you put it that way, I've been thinking about that lately...

that Politics in America isn't a game for kids or those with thin skins....
you have to be 18 (a legal adult) to even buy a ticket to the game, let alone think that you have the skills to actually get on the field and play. Why are politicians (esp. the GOP) such prissy little girls when it comes to stuff like this, and why aren't we calling them on it on a daily basis?

I heard an old WWII Navy vet talking once on television about the benefits and drawbacks of the USA relying mainly on aircraft carriers after the bombing of Pearl Harbor...he said the following...(and I think the same applies to the modern GOP...)

"An aircraft carrier is like a heavyweight boxer with a glass jaw. It will beat the hell out of you if it can get a hold of you, but IF you hit it, you can hurt it.... BAD."

The idea that the GOP can be pulled into a rope-a-dope seems like a good strategy...just keep falling back, and back, and back, and then, when the "opportune moment" presents itself, let loose with guys like Anthony, who KNOW how to put em' down on the mat.

[freshwest]

54. Bullies are cowards overreacting to their own fears, in the end. They need to be called on it.

[Paradoxical]

38. Paradoxical to Republicans: Go fuck yourselves.

[tanyev]

40. "Reagan had the decency to insult his enemies when he was out of town"

OMG! How dare Obama criticize them to their faces!!!!!!


Grow up, ya whiny crybabies.

[democracy1st]

44. Haha ! Go Anthony...

[Joe Bacon]

46. I'm afraid they're going to gerrymander him out.

New York is losing congressional seats. I'm so afraid that the Koch Brothers will buy enough state legislators to gerrymander Weiner and Kucinich out of their seats!

[xchrom]

47. ...

:yourock: mr. weiner.

[ejbr]

48. k & r !! n/t

[baldguy]

49. Republicans are bullies.

If you stand up to them, they run away crying.

[NBachers]

50. Close your eyes, and it's like listening to Quentin Tarantino

[otohara]

51. He Rocks

time and time again Rep. Weiner delivers.

[BeyondGeography]

52. Chew my right arm before I'd sign up for the Ryan Plan

More levity and laceration from the best spokesman we have going.

[opihimoimoi]

56. This guy got my vote for the Oval...:kick:

:kick:

[Cowpunk]

57. Watch the whole interview, it's great!

Here's the link.

He makes a good case for expanding Medicare to all Americans and refutes the claims of some right wing callers with civility and logic.

[DCofVA]

58. It sure is refreshing to hear a politician tell it like it is
