Impeach Obama!

[Strangler Lewis]

Just so it's here when someone wants to use it.

[Promo-Man]

Stupid is what stupid does.
I say this thread is stupid.
I did not vote for him but I will give him the chance to change my mind about him.
Note: That is not a personal attack on the man.

[Capt Jack]

what thread? its just a placeholder. :)
really...dont be offended by it. Im sure its all meant in fun.

besides, you know the first time he has to step on someones toes in his presidency (which is unavoidable IMO), the calls for Pres elect Obama's head will come out, as well as the "I told you so" writeups and other BS. unlikely it will be from this group, but there will be those who do. might as well make a ready spot to drop the stories, articles and rebuttals into now....ya know?

[Strangler Lewis]

Thanks, Captain Jack, but not even. The thread title was a response to some of the eager, forward-looking threads and posts that sprouted up this morning. The drama of the last two presidencies have included impeachment or calls for same in the third act.

In short, it was a joke, the not getting of which, well, there must be a word for it.

[Moonliner]

I say BURN THE WITCH!


(I'll leave it up to the reader to decide if I mean Strangler, Promo, Capt., or Obama)

[sleepyjeff]

I just want to know if Biden plans to pardon President Obama before or after he's indicted;)

[BDBopper]

Joke or no joke I just want to be on the record. I didn't vote for him or support him but in January Barack Obama will be our and MY President. I will support him, pray for him, and hope he succeeds. I'm putting my country first and it is time to come together as a nation to support our new President. Chances are we won't agree on the issues (as I have sometimes with Bush) but let it be known that I will not be hateful or vile in my criticism (I've seen enough of that over the past eight years).

God bless America and may God bless President Barack Obama. May we thrive and prosper under his leadership!

I read the thread title and without even looking at it I knew it's intent. (I also laughed out loud).


Strangler, perhaps that word is 'obtuse'?

[scaeagles]

I finally come back in to the LoT, think someone has gained some sense, and find it isn't what I thought. Oh well. :)

Now, now, Leo, the poor man has not yet been sworn in! You can't start the process just yet. Give him until February 1, okay? ;)

Oh, and it is a surprise this is the first thread you've hit upon your return to LoT? Welcome back!

[scaeagles]

It had the catchiest thread title.

[Moonliner]

Look who's back from his bunker.

Hi.

Welcome back- I was worried about you. Thought we'd have to send in Lisa on a reconnaissance mission.

[scaeagles]

I'd heard rumors of the recon and figured I'd best show myself to let you all know I haven't thrown myself off any tall buildings nor have I run out onto the highway to play.

[Gn2Dlnd]

Over there, in Jollie Olde, they aren't wasting any time with the satire:

Obama squanders CIA briefing finding out what really happened to JFK
then he looked up Marilyn, Chappaquiddick and Barney Rubble's middle name

Obama stripped of title after failing drug test
outgoing president in charge of testing

Oh, those Brits!

Glad to see you back Scaeagles!

[Ghoulish Delight]

So how'd you vote?

[innerSpaceman]

Oh, and if you'd care to divulge how you voted on Arizona's gay marriage ban, I will know whether or not to select you as the first person I've ever put on Ignore on any message board.

[scaeagles]

Prop 102 - abstained. Probably not what you wanted to hear, but what I did. Am I to be ignored? Curious.

President - abstained.

[tracilicious]

Gee, I'm not sure if I fit in the douchebag category or the equal rights category...hmmm...I'll just not choose.

[tracilicious]

On a more serious note, I think for a large segment of our population abstaining is a step towards equal rights. It's not a no vote, but it's not a yes vote either. Progress takes small steps sometimes.

[innerSpaceman]

No Leo, your abstaintion was an honorable choice ... ya know, for the likes of you. :p


I'm pissed at the people who will take positive action to deny others their civil rights, not those who do nothing.


(Though, in California, I'm pissed at our supporters who did not bother to vote ... btw, that's YOU belleh5, as well as your new boyfriend, keith SuPeR K!)

[tracilicious]

I'm somewhat pissed at the latter. Though my marriage rights aren't in question, I'm raising kids in this world and I want it to be one of equality. To be at the polls and not stand up for that kinda sucks. But, on a reasonable level, I realize that we just aren't there yet. A non vote is the next best thing to a no vote, unfortunately.

[scaeagles]

Not sure I appreciate the "douchebag" comparison. I'll explain my vote - or lack there of.

In terms of my religious views....those would say to vote for such a proposition. However, my religious views should not be imposed on others (when there's no harm involved to others....which is why I don't view my abortion views as problematic, but I won't go into that, as that isn't the subject at hand). So I chose not to vote on it. I would have a crisis of conscience voting either way.

Under your rationale, I don't view your abortion views as problematic either, though I don't share them. However, in the civil arena, I think that when the question is should something be prohibited, the reasoned conclusion that something is not harmful to others requires a "no" answer.

By the way, I don't think the "No on 8" folks made the truly conservative case for a no vote that they could have. They framed it mostly as a question of personal rights, which it was. However, they should have emphasized the increase in social stability and family centeredness that--supposedly--comes with marriage as we understand it.

Imposing one's personal religious views on others is a douchebag thing to do. I didn't call you a douchebag, I called the proponents of 102 douchebags. Which, IMO, they are.

Again, IMO, religions have some douchebag views. The bible also promotes slavery, says that people with dark skin are cursed, etc. Once upon a time, it was used to promote oppression of black people. It's no longer kosher to do so, so those parts are overlooked. It's still ok to oppress gays, so the anti-gay parts of the bible are waved around. In fifty years, they'll be glossed over as well.

That being said, I know a few people who manage to be religious while taking what they find useful from their book of choice and leaving the rest. I respect that you don't want to inflict your views on others, but that doesn't mean I don't think those views archaic and oppressive.

Also, douchebag is my new favorite word.

[Moonliner]

OK, now I get it.

Making a college education affordable to ever kid in this country is one of Obama's goals for his administration right?

Well guess what?

It turns out that dems do better at the polls with college educated folks regardless of race or religion. So if everyone has a college education.......

Obama is one sneaky SOB. He was never content with just the presidency, he wants to ruin the entire republican party forever.

[scaeagles]

Bush, McCain, and current party leadership already beat him to it.

Don't forget Palin.

Don't forget Palin.

But I want to... Desperately....

[Kevy Baby]

Bush, McCain, and current party leadership already beat him to it.Amen to that.

Can we resurrect Ronnie?

Perhaps a 98-year-old with Alzheimer's would be an improvement on the current crop.
