Gee, only about, say, 98% of the rage is nothing but racism. That's it. Plain and simple.

No other president, from either side of the aisle, has been treated the way Obama has been assaulted by the haters on the right. The right isn't fooling anyone, except themselves.

The OP points out how we used to be able to get along, even Ronald Reagan and Tip O'Neill did a great job of working together and being collegial across the aisle. Since the "religious" right came along in the 1980's it's been nothing but demonizing the other side and dividing people with their rhetoric. The hate-filled mobs of Palin fans were nothing more than KKK rallies.

No, you and your puppeteers/idols/mentors invented the "promise" so as to have something -- anything, really -- to whine over. Anyone who understands what projections actually are LAUGHS OUT LOUD every time you post this particular piece of pure propaganda...

And the whole world knows it. Which is why the Republican Party should be renamed the Incredible Shrinking Party. The far right seems completely clueless regarding their increasing marginalization. And, sadly, there don't appear to be any true conservatives left to take the party back.

Oh, they tied funding to withdrawal, on their time table as a way to cut and run. How many bills did they pass that Bush vetoed?

It's a simple question. Seems like a straightforward answer would be easy: Why do you call Obama denigrating names? Yet, you repeatedly hide behind smoke screens, questioning the question's "credibility." I guess your understanding of "credibility" is on par with your understanding of "supplication."

Oh well. Some people don't have the courage of their convictions, I guess.
If you had some credibility on the issue, I would answer, but since you have never asked your brethren why they call bush those nasty names, you aren't really in a position to demand an answer, are you?

Yes, obama has demonized all those who stood in opposition to his agenda - Greedy CEO's of companies he was looking to get concessions from, Greedy investors/creditors of auto companies he was looking to screw in order to give his union buddies an unjustified stake in the companies - you deny this?

Give me an excuse for that kind of mindless crap.

Oh please. Are really going to sit there and claim that obama did not bring out his little chart of what the UE rate would look like with and without his stimulus?

Are you really going to claim he did not promise 600,000 jobs by the end of summer - or 3-4 million by the end if 2010?

Who do you think you're fooling? There is a record of his comments, projections and promises.

Not evasion. You have a selective memory. There are plenty of threads about policy that you and your ilk are ambivalent about - like a takeover of HC, a $1.5 trillion dollar cap and trade, bailouts left and right, cronyism, radicalism, socialism, etc, etc, etc.

Yeah, that's why the democratic pollster are warning the dems/libs of the upcoming 2010 elections - predicting they could lose 20 seats and maybe even the house.
