czars

All furthering the display of ignorance.

Another "you don't have a proper definition of....." argument. Stop your accusations of ignorance directed at others, when you are failing to see your own nose.

It must suck to not have a real argument but to cling to "tax cut & trickle-down" fantasies while working up barrels of bile and phony outrage.
Topic isnt Joe Wilson, Tea baggers, right wingers, tax cuts, trickle down, teleprompters, birth certificates, death panels, czars, fantasies, barrels of bile, healthcare, the recession, ignorance, phony outrage, or the amount of time Obama has spent in office. Its "Who is Obama".. Changing the subject only discredits the left who again, cant stay focused.

Lets not even discuss your "photo" of 82% of the national debt being rung up by Republicans is an outright LIE..

Republicans have held Congress for EIGHT years out of the last 42, and 4 of them are the very same years that Democrats proclaimed we had balanced budgets.. Dont let facts stop you from getting in the way of your "hate" message..

The reason for the precipitous seeming rise in the deficit is the economic collapse of one year ago, while Bush was still in office. He was lucky enough not to have to clean up that mess.

That rise will look differently in a while. Once the recession starts seriously abating, things will even out. Some economists think it already have--others are not sure. Because we are talking about the future, there are some things people just can't know--not enough information yet. I wonder if this uncertainty is what is really fueling all the hysteria I perceive among right wingers. I certainly can't find any other explanation that seems rational to me for their behavior.

The sad truth is that the Obama haters would hate him no matter what he did as President of the United States.....sadly, hatred runs very deep in some Americans.

Interesting how these same people were silent while George W ran the country off in the ditch.

Its ok....we know what the real reason is behind the Obama bashing.

That's why we have images like this one coming from Camp TeaBaggers

I can discuss either without mentioning the other, some others on the other hand cannot, my reply stated just that fact. It just that some do not like their own tactics used against them, in-other-words, they can dish it out but cannot take in return. As for the President, he stands on his own just fine, he did win the election, something some said would never happen, and he will do so again, especially when one looks at the alternatives out there today, watch and see.

This image is ugly and pathetic. Shame on whoever designed it, seriously.

Get a grip....no one is buying what you're selling.

Hatred is a very ugly thing.

Barack Obama is the President of the United States. Yes, he is a man of color. Deal with it.

If there was any "dirt" to be discovered it would have been discovered during the campaign. The best they could do was Bill Ayers so that should tell you something.

The rise in the deficits from one year ago, would not result in an 82% of the national debt being "Republican", especially considering that Congress a year ago was Democratically controlled.
