President Obama's speech to students outrages Oklahoma GOP legislators

[Quicksilver]

I don't know if it"s Chicago-style politics is not going over too well with the rest of the country.
I believe it's just a few people banging the drums of
discontent, and the media having fun highlighting these squeaky
wheels.

All things are possible though. Politics not withstanding, imo
some of these vitriol spewing people are setting themselves
up for a serious Karma adjustment.

If this President is successful in what might be considered
a favorable agenda and people see the results, some
of these negative talking folks will be sucking wind and suffering from
the results of "what goes around comes around".

The whole thing is comical on the one hand and sad on the other.
Honestly I have never seen anything like it.........

Nevertheless, I agree that all politician promise this and promise that and things...and no, you can't blame all this vitriol on Fox News...which I find quite funny when Gibbs speak...I think POTUS needs to get a better Press Secretary IMHO. But, the POTUS have been associated with some radical people in his lifetime in the past...whether that makes him radical remains to be seen...but maybe POTUS's past is coming out to haunt him as well...

QS, I am sorry if my Hitler comment bugs you, but I recognize this kind of politics from growing up in a country that tried to stop it years ago. As far as I am concerned, the sooner we get it in the open and deal with it , the less we will have to do later. For those who want to continue to glaze over his attempts to socialize this country will more easily get on his bandwagon. For once lets air everything out before we give over all our freedoms.
I am no cultist, I am a realist. And I don't spew...

I'm sorry Obama bugs you. I didn't vote for him but I understand
why losers are angry and so does every other sensible person. The only
difference there is with people who call him a socialist is they don't
have the guts to say what they really mean so they only thing they can
say without demonizing themselves is socialist and hitler.

Obama certainly isn't the first Democrat running for president to
be accused of communist sympathies. And as usual, the accusations are
rarely linked to policy specifics. But the difference with Obama is that,
in the eyes of the right, it's not just his political affiliation that implicates him as a socialist
but again no one has the guts to say what that is.

So what's the point of calling Obama Hitler or socialist? No one
else but the 6 people who share that view is going to care and
nobody is going to change their minds.........

The center has fled this ship.

Obama is so over his head, and has failed to grasp the nuances of his mandate while surrounding himself with insider party hacks.

BO seems unable to understand and embrace some very basic American sentiments...it's not whether he can be branded (socialist, statist, communist, etc.) one way or another.

Its far more subtle than that..Obama feigns the ability to grasp what makes America tick when in fact he and the people he surrounds himself badly misread macro-sentiment. He won by six or seven points (and many of those novelty supporters voted for the first and possibly only times in their lives) against a weak and disorganized opponent during an economic meltdown.

Unlike Kennedy, who was truly a product of America, Obama seems to have this inner grudge against our country. Yes he was born (we think) here, but the narrative of his life is so vastly different.

Really? What do "they" really mean? Since you know...
