The spat between the White House and House Speaker John Boehner
is now settled: the President will address a joint session of
Congress on Sept. 8, jousting with opening night of the NFL
season instead of the previously-scheduled Republican
presidential debate the night prior.
On one level, the tiff is just another example of the kind of
Washington bickering that has become standard fare of late. But
there’s one aspect of this story that may have legs — if it
provides the president’s supporters with yet another piece of
evidence that he is not being treated with the deference due
(and typically given) the President of the United States. (The
president’s request to appear before a joint session of Congress
on Sept. 7 was turned down for what may have been the first time
in history.)
Last month, the Progressive National Baptist Convention - a
religious denomination that began in support of Martin Luther
King Jr’s civil rights agenda - issued a resolution decrying the
“disrespect” President Obama has encountered since taking office.
The resolution cited South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson shouting
“you lie” during the president’s healthcare speech before
Congress (in reaction to Obama saying that illegal immigrants
wouldn’t be covered under his plan) and Colorado Rep. Doug
Lamborn saying in an interview that he didn’t want to “be
associated” with Obama because it was “like touching a tar baby
… you know, you are stuck, and you are part of the problem.”
“Conventional wisdom suggests if comments like these were
targeted to past holders of this nation’s highest office of
another/preferred hue,” the resolution reads, “serious
repercussive actions would have immediately followed those
making said comments.”
In addition, progressive firebrand Al Sharpton called the
Speaker’s refusal part of a “game of disrespect” on his show on
MSNBC.
Will Speaker Boehner’s pushback — answering the president’s
request to address Congress on Sept 7 by instead insisting he
appear on Sept. 8 — be seen as yet another example?
Obama deserves no respect.
He uses the Social Security Number of a dead guy.
He doesn't own his own home and apparently it's involved in tax
fraud.
He faked his Selective Service Registration.
He lied about Obama Care funding Illegals.
He supports amnesty for violators of Federal Laws.
He attempted to undermine the 2nd amendment by entering into a
treaty restricting firearms.
He and his crook buddy Holder had full knowledge of BATF gun
running programs to drug dealers.
He's dumber than a rock and has to be told everything to say
using a telepromter fed by a white liberal college boy.
He handed George Soros $2 Billion to go drill in South America.
He has refused to open up drilling for oil in the U.S.A.
He lied about closing GITMO.
He is way too sympathetic to Muslim assholes.
He refuses to show respect for the American flag.
He refuses to say God in public.
His policies reek of socialism.
He is certainly not an American citizen. He should be impeached
and tried for treason.

Rant all you want...it is just one more example of how Obama is the
better man.
And yet another reason why I and millions of other Americans will vote
for him in 2012.

If you vote to re elect Obama..then the country will continue
going down the drain. You say Obama is the better man. Then
prove it. Obama has broken every promise since.
You're a stupid lib.
===================================
And YOU are a most typical right wing twit. Has it ever occurred to you
morons that YOU people are the biggest reason that guarantees Obama's
reelection? Try to figure out what the hell you are FOR. Come up with some
sort of reasonable PLAN for recovery. For jobs. To balance our nation's
budget. To get our debt under control. Other than handing over even more
money and power to the the wealthy and corporate elite in this country in
the hope that they might just share it with the rest of us peons...because
most of us are sick of being peed on. I suppose there's some attraction in
that for twisted folks like you.
I see that your Kool-Aid slurping prevents you from exposure to ANYTHING
other than the leftist propaganda. Since you will NEVER even listen to
anything that conservatives have to say or simply disregard such off
hand, why would anyone bother to educate you?
Yeah, because a guy who posts this:
"Obama deserves no respect. He uses the Social Security Number of a
dead guy."
has so much to teach us all. And what the hell is it with the
metalworkers?

Odd that the Republicans won the House in one of the largest upsets in
the past 100 yrs and the same looks to be headed in that direction in
the Senate come November 2012. <VBG>
Those nasty nasty Republicans seem to be popular with The People doesnt
it? And the Tea Party pols..even more popular indeed. <VBG>
Now about your Obamassiah. Seems that his approval ratings just dropped
below those of Jimmy Carter, and apparently below those of John Wilkes
Booth as well.
Think the People are going to continue to let the Marxist and Co.
continue to destroy America? After all.. you lads have had your hands
in the pants of the nation since 2006...thats 5 yrs now..and the nation
really really doesnt look well...does it?
But then...Democrats have always fucked up the nation when they took
control of it. All you blinky eyed surrealists and dreamers and
utterly mad nutcases all trying to prove your pet fantasies and half
baked theories. The vast majority of course wouldnt work in a comic
book, let alone in the real world. As the Great Depression 2 has shown.
It really sucks to be you..doesnt it? You poor mental cases thought it
was going to be the new dawn of International Socialism..and its been
nothing but a proven wide spread failure. Snort..but everyone with more
than 2 neurons firing knew it would be a flop. Hell..even the USSR
failed and Europe is backing away from Socialism like a beagle from a
skunk.
But hey..dance all you want, tear out your hear, whimper, whine, cry and
pout.
It simply makes you easier to target when the Great Cull starts.

So why DOES the Obamassiah use a Conneticut SS number last used by a guy
who died in 1987?
Inquiring minds really want to know!
Rodney Dangerfield was well respected, next to Obama.

You can't have a sense of humor, if you have no sense.
Are you incapable of writing coherent sentences? Does your leftist
mental illness interfere with your speech patterns as well? I'd bet you
can't even order food at a restaurant, do you just point at another
customer's plate and grunt?
LOL...a number of us have noticed that...metalworkers seem to be a bit
"off" when it comes to politics...just stop and consider how many
thousands of conservative spam postings we see in RCM every year.
Heavy metal poisoning?
TMT
LOL...the Republicans have yet to recover from the ass kicking they
got in 2006 and 2008.
Does it still hurt to sit down?
And Gummer...yet another death threat...still looking for a warm cell
to spend the winter?
TMT
LOL..have you read your posts Tom?
Obviously your dog is not posting them...he has better gammar.

Listen to what???? Keep the tax cuts for the rich...they make no
difference to the deficit anyway????
Or, let's get rid of healthcare for the poor and make them pay for it
because the rich do and the only reason they're poor is because they're
lazy????
Or the teabaggers who can't seem to understand that the original tea
party was against "taxation without representation" not "high taxes."
Or global warming is a hoax cause the scientists want more grants (oh,
but the trillions the energy industry makes has nothing to do with it).
What you call left wing propaganda is merely a response to right wing
delusional thinking. We can point out the faults continuously and all
you do is stick your fingers in your ears and cry "I can't hear you."
It's been proven that Obama's stimulus worked, pumping up the GDP by an
astounding 3.4% and giving the economy time to reset itself. It put more
than 2 million to work. It ensured that corporations that got stimulus
money didn't waste it on CEO bonuses....and woah...when they found out,
they *somehow* found a way to repay all the money quick.
Of coure, as a Republican, you have no problem with CEOs who get $400
million bonuses while millions of children go without basic nutrition or
health care.
Very christian of you.
Hypocrite.

We must change the way we live

Sadly, though, it's not Kool-Aid that the teabaggers are slurping at
*their* meetings.
Well said.
TMT
LOL...I just did prove it...Obama was gracious enough to allow
flexibility in scheduling.
My guess why...he gave Boo Hoo Johnny a badly needed bone to toss to
his Tea Party dogs to promote Party unity so we can get on with
Government instead of the conservative circus that has been occurring.
Notice how unorganized the GOP is...they still can't decide which of
their unlucky candidates will be facing the Democratic Juggernaut
Obama.

So as a Leftwinger..you wish the Supreme Soviet to provide it all?
Along with the Useful Propaganda that goes with it..right?
So was John Wilkes Booth.
So Gummer...is Booth your hero?

Have you been teaching courses again? :)
What they are for is whatever their right wing leaders tell them they
are for. Since we never ever hear anything new from conservatives, we
know what the republicans want to do and what their plans are if they
get the White House. We've seen it before, what was it, 30 months ago?
The next republican who gets nominated will have the identical plan for
the country that Bush put in place in 2001. It will be lower taxes on
the rich and corporations, deregulation of business, free trade
policies, and privatization of as many government functions as possible.
The common terms for it are supply-side, or trickle down economics.
That's what we will get if a republican is elected. We saw how that
worked under Bush and it will be the same if it's tried again.
The sane are totally against this happening again. The insane can't wait
to do it all over again. By the insane I mean republicans and right wingers.
Hawke
I just wonder if people like you are even able to admit that it was the
Bush presidency that left our country in a terrible mess. Do you not see
that what Bush did in office resulted in a disastrous outcome? If not,
who caused all these problems that came to us back in 2007?

No, Boosh!

That's right. The fact is the republicans were totally repudiated in
those elections. It's normal for first year incumbent presidents to lose
house seats. In this case the right wing was very fired up after two ass
kickings in a row and the Democrats reverted to their lazy selves and
didn't bother to show up to vote in an off year election. So the right
wing got a big win with a small number of people voting for them.
Things have changed again since 2010. Congress has a horrible reputation
these days and there are lots of republicans in congress. The public has
been in a throw the bums out mood for the last three elections, and they
are still pissed off, which doesn't bode well for incumbents. That means
you, republicans. There is a very good chance a lot of republican
congressmen will be losing their seats in the next election. If they
think they will have a cake walk into majorities in congress they're fools.
> And Gummer...yet another death threat...still looking for a warm cell

He keeps talking about the cull and I've been keeping track. He said it
would happen in a couple of years. That was about two years ago. So if
it doesn't happen by the end of the year we have to say the same thing
we said after the guy predicted the end of the world this year. You're
full of shit.
