Thread: Jeremiah Wright Behind a White House Desk

You forgot- he's also a founder of 'Color of Change'.

But who do you expect as 'Special adviser for Green Jobs'? Glenn Beck maybe?

Some hate in that room

NO SHIT,, Well if you do not like it here , do not open or post on here if you do not like TD forums, you will find some in every room here.
In all posts started or added to by Panama Hat, Antsy R., Lily, Ray Fairy Mustavaclit, and a few others are negative postings, but you get the idea.
This is the only forum I have ever been on where personal terminal illness, your children either dying from something or suicide and you being blamed and continually reminded of such happenings so as to boost a persons own standing in the hierarchy of the membership, continually called a paedo and a racist for your choice lack of Political correctness, of being a success in todays world with an education that was the standard of the day and have surpassed other, younger members in lifetime successes who with higher standing in personal education than your own because you are above their IQ's and worked harder.
I have some very good friends here on TD, but I have good friends on other forums where they were always behind you whether for your personal advancement or in helping you to support schools and children in poorer country's in which you choose to live now.

Hey ! If you can find a post where I have referred to your illness or family, I'll apologise, but you can't.
And for the OP. I find it interesting where it was copied from.

So let me reverse it. If you don't want me to look at your posts, then don't post

For the record: I agree. Not very nice.

(And I think I have broken your code. When you are not using faul language, you are serious, right ?)

If you can find anywhere I used your name, except in a rant title, I will kiss your ass in downtown BKK and give you 4 hours to draw a crowd too.

Obama 'green jobs' adviser quits amid controversy
By WILL LESTER (AP) – 1 hour ago
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama's environmental adviser Van Jones, who became embroiled in a controversy over past inflammatory statements, has resigned his White House job after what he calls a "vicious smear campaign against me."
The resignation, announced early Sunday, came as Obama is working to regain his footing in the contentious health care debate.
Jones, an administration official specializing in environmentally friendly "green jobs" with the White House Council on Environmental Quality was linked to efforts suggesting a government role in the 2001 terror attacks and to derogatory comments about Republicans.
Jones issued an apology on Thursday for his past statements. When asked the next day whether Obama still had confidence in him, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said only that Jones "continues to work in the administration."

The Associated Press: Obama 'green jobs' adviser quits amid controversy

Strange place the US. It likes to present itself as oh so PC, and post racial, but when it comes down to it I think a large percentage of the white population are stuck in some sort of social timewarp. Scared and insecure with it.

So he's resigned, no big deal. In any other western nation I know the Right wing braying would have just been laughed at. Strange place, when it comes down to it I think many there are grappling with their diminishing role in the nation, and Amerka's diminishing role in the world.

not even remotely...except to those howling in the wilderness of irrelevance.

Hows about his approval ratings,,looks bad again for snoop doggie

Poll Disaster For Obama
THIS week's polls are a disaster for President Obama. The Rasmussen poll has his approval dropping to 45 percent, after several weeks at 49 percent. The Zogby poll has it even lower -- at 42 percent.
Worse yet, he's losing his political base:
* People un- der 30 -- long a key element of his support -- give him no better than break-even ratings, with 41 percent approving and 41 percent disapproving of the job he's doing, according to Zogby.

* Only 75 percent of Democrats, who formerly have supported Obama strongly, now approve of his performance in office. Zogby reports that this represents a slide of more than 10 points over the summer.
* Even among blacks, only 74 percent approve of the job he's doing (also a drop of more than 10 points).
* Hispanics, who voted for him by a margin of more than 40 points, now break even (36-36) when rating his performance.
Independents, the key swing group in our politics, now deliver a sharply negative 37-50 verdict on Obama's job performance. The elderly also give him negative ratings by 42-51.
This poll-implosion leaves Obama with few good options.
He obviously can't get 60 votes in the Senate for his health-care proposals in their current form. No Republican will support them, and moderate Democrats aren't likely to vote with him

That's not as bad as this:

^ and ^^,

Poll, schmoll.

I expect BO's poll number to decline because of some of his policy mannuervers and also because of the economy - the latter which won't get better. Over time BO's political acumen in Washington should improve.

BO's election is 3 years and 2 months away. That's an eternity.

But the mid-term Congressional elections are 14 months away, and as historical common the opposing party not in the White House will likely pick up some seats.

Nonetheless, polls mean nothing - for now.

^
Some seats? It's gonna be a rout!

Glenn Beck - 1, BO - 0

Hmmm wonder who Beck gets after next? (plenty of worthy targets left)

Yes, BO's 'administration' is a target-rich environment!

What you trying to say Milky, all The Fairy can say is look at the polls he is a great great pres and he is a coon and we elected him anyway,
so it means nothing to me as I knew he was an empty shirt elected by black and late teen votes that have never had bean and biscuits for breakfast and had to work til late in the evening for supper that consisted of the same thing.

I'm not sure what you mean, BG. Let me re-state: polls don't mean anything right now. In 14 months they may have an impact depending on what the Ds do in the mean time, and the WH party usually loses seats in the mid-terms, according to history.

As for BO's polls: doesn't mean anything. BO's election is 3 years and 2 months away.

Read this post above ^, then re-read my first post. You'll find they're basically the same.

I don't understand this part of your post.

As for the "teen" vote, the teenager vote of 18 and 19 YR olds are only one piece of multiple demographics that elected Obama.

Numberous demographics voted for BO.

OK, Here is what some numbers are, and they have polls all along about how the public feel he is doing his job, the Blacks voted 94% for him, and most young voters were on his team because they are easier to bullshit as I stated, and the polls have went down steadily, so he better have a fucking rabbit in his ass or hat or somewhere cause it don't look like he is gaining on one damn front except in Muzzie countrys and in Black africa where they have no vote in the USofA..

And as you know His Lob Performance is what the polls use from start to finish, I did not hear anyone say that this is the last poll to be taken before his term ends,, now where did you see that??

^ BG,

thanks for the response and good info. I heard the polls today on the radio.

Again, I don't care about BO's polls, GWB's polls or any Presidents polls at this time.

The President is 3+ years away from the next election.

And NO, I do not like Obama at this time, although I would rather have him than McCain-Palin, as the "lesser of the two evils."

I don't care either, the wrong choice was made in November as far as I am concerned and it will only get worse, so you have to live with it for the next 3 years, I hope I do not last that long.
But if I do I will vote next time for anyone else but the Khun, unless they run Louis Farrakhan who is a little more racist than Khun Obama, and then I might still vote for louie.

Obama is absolutely not racist- in fact the main racism being exhibited on the US political stage (circus) right now is by those people accusing him of racism.

In the polarised system of US politics, Obama is the embodiment of 'reasonable'- and in fact, this may be a weakness. It seems the soapbox demagogues, stridently selling their agenda in a dumbed down format to their support base, are awarded the title of 'Leader'- rather than the unifying, compromising type politicians such as Obama. Unfortunately, I feel the POTUS job has become somewhat cheapened because of this. A talking head for an Interest group basically.

Because of all the Right Wing noise, somewhat being overlooked is a more concerning trend in some ways- support for Obama is being eroded amongst Liberals and progressives, those impatient for change- and naively so. For example HC reform- the Bill that will be (surely) passed is really just the opening stanza in an ongoing process. It won't happen with one wave of Khuns magic wand. Real change is incremental, not radical.

But he'd better get something done and pronto, so his strongest support base (and Independents) can regain their Belief. The 'Reaching Out' bipartisan ethos was a too nice thought, given the nature of those that manipulate his dumbed down enemies.

I feel a reasonable majority will still support his policies, given the nature (and results) of his entrenched political opposition, when push comes to shove- namely the Ballot box.
