Hahahaha I'm having a beer and this place is like therapy. I'm a very relaxed person. That wasn't angry. At all.
This pretty much sums up the whole thing.
Billy Bob Thornton.I hope Obama gets reelected and the US becomes a dictatorship. I will band together the Resistance under my banner. Mullet Militia! We will take down the regime with gorilla tactics.
Then when the smoke clears, Hollywood will make a movie about it. I will be played by a yet unknown and studly actor. The book will debut at #1.
^^^^Oh sure....encourage him.....
He came to us that way.^^^^Oh sure....encourage him.....
Actually I thought Obama during his run for President was well above average in terms of public speaking.
While he seems to have the people skills of someone suffering from a bad case of Asperger's and Autism...he can speak quite well.
But something has noticeably changed......maybe it's a loss of confidence, loss of a good speech writer, and/or loss of a teleprompter....but the oratory magic seems to have left the building like Elvis.
Obama or Romney kissing a baby and it coming off as anything but exceptionally robotic and awkward would be a miracle.
I seriously doubt there's going to be a Clinton saxaphone moment in this election....but I think the chances are good we get a "Let them eat Tastycake" moment though.
He has lost the subject matter not the skill. He can no long say hope and change, he's the incumbent. Were I a betting man, I would predict a well formed theme for re-election stumping and a return to form.
lol.....dam it CJ, apply lube next time, this was just mean.
You can only hope that he applies the same logic to the successes of his life.
Imagine if, say, Obamacare becomes a massive success. Surely we should then be looking at something like this:
"Yes, the new healthcare plan was greatly successful and revolutionary but really it has nothing to do with me, it's because of somebody else that made:
- health insurance
- diseases
- doctors
- money
- politicians
- homo sapiens
- god
- etc."
Obama will win because people that know what America was supposed to be all about, all but exist now. The education system has waited for the fundamentalist Americans to age and die out. They now along with the media teach and maintain their own alternate story of what America is supposed to be. Most kids these days don't even know what a founding father is. They only know that if they wat to go to college for free they need to vote for Obama because teacher said it was a right.
It was primarily a hype that brought Obama into office and now the opponents of his policies try to remove him primarily with a hype.
I think another major economic crisis is coming, perhaps worse than the last one. I would far rather have Romney at the helm than Obama in such a situation. And while I agree that major deficit reduction would be unlikely under Romney if we did not have a big crisis like that, at least he would be less destructive to the business sector than Obama. And last, a repeal of Obamacare would be all but impossible if Obama gets a second term.
To be honest, the US is screwed with either of them and will continue to be screwed until campaign finance is really reformed.
It's like choosing between who you want standing on the railroad tracks to confront a runaway economic train....Captain American or Batman....it doesn't matter which one you choose.....it all ends the same...run over and turned into historical train wheel grease.
In that case, vote Michael Moore!!!
I thought the whole thing would have collapsed long ago. I am beginning to wonder just how predictable events really are.
