Obama's "Wife" Says
News Flash!
According to the Clinton News Network, during this evening's speech to the left wing choir by "The Annointed One" admitted that his wife Rue Paul ... er Michelle tells him every day that "He" (with a capital H) is not all that great.
So even the US hating First Lady, (who is presumably proud of her country for the second time in her adult life now that she is sucking on the fattest teat on the breast of the taxpayer) would seem to agree that Obama is a Moron.
"He" (with a capital H) can't seem to keep His house under control, let alone the country or Congress as he attempts to pass a flawed bill.
The guy is a mindless bozo who should be doing a kids mid-day TV show on a New Orleans station.

Re: Obama's "Wife" Says
Holy crap dude,
Are you for real? These two topics of yours should having me laughing, but I think you actually are being serious....
If you have it all figured out, why aren't you flying around in Air Force One? Too busy kissing Nark's ass? I mean really, "the US hating First Lady?" You can't be serious? But I guess ignorance and intolerance are usually framed with patriotism, so shouldn't be much of a surprise in this case.

Re: Obama's "Wife" Says
Absolutely serious.
Were you not aware that Michelle made the statement "For the first time in my adult life, I'm proud of my country?" If you need to hear it from her lips to your ears, I'd be happy to post a link to the audio.
How many days did the lefties give the previous administration before they were behaving like brainless twits and looking for the smallest mistake made by a single civil servant and try to blame the President in newspapers like the Washington Compost, or the New York Slimes or countless internet blogs?
Just my personal tit for tat, "Obama the Magnificent" gets the same break as was given to the previous administration.
The guy is in the process of giving out 300 Billion dollars to buy safes for crying out loud ... at least that wise expenditure will lead to some form of stimulation! No doubt a political payback for the latex manufacturing lobby.

Lay off OFD - if you had as many colonoscopies as
he's had, you'd be just as cranky. And with his
enlarged prostate, he's got to get up every 2 hours
at night to pee, so he's sleep-deprived, too. Not
a good combination.
Let's leave him alone and hope he has a nice
afternoon naptime.

Well I got a real belly laugh today while I was monitoring the airwaves and heard "Obama The Hen Pecked" admit that:
"Michelle reminds me every day that I'm not perfect."
Must be a wonderful life being married to Rue Paul and regularly hit with a shoe.

Michelle Obama made the statement "For the first time in my adult life, I'm proud of my country?"
I can vouch for that. I heard her utter those exact word.
That means until her hubby was elected she was never proud of he country. Is she now, or does she just like the power?
Where is she from again?

I feel so honored that you connected the two of us. Since we are obviously of the conservative side of the house, we must be attached at the hip?
Other than the time the Cobra's went out and "Got Some" the one time I saw a bunch of Iraqis protesting something made my heart swell. Why? because I was part of the effort that allowed them to do just that.

I have my opinion and you have yours. As long as you don't threaten mine, or someones safety, you can spout whatever retarded rhetoric you want to. I have stood in harms way, so you can sound like an idiot. Enjoy.

Michelle came from a place that started a long time ago. She got a guy to eat an apple and then they lost their home when the "landlord" tossed them out.
Then a waaaaay long time later a long lost relative got surprised by getting knocked up and having a kid because she still hadn't met a pilot. The kid though annoyed the locals and got stuck on a cross one time with a couple of other bad guys in a land far away and died in March and went up in the sky after a few days after he got buried in a cave. ( We celebrate this with 4 consecutive days off in the federal government every year, even after 1925 or so years later).
Although it's rumoured he came back a few days later and was seen rising to heaven later that's not really true, it really wasn't until January 19th 2009 that he really showed up again.
The Old Fogducker knows the whole story and maybe he can name the real names of what happened that day.
I'm just a unwashed person that listens to Rush Limbaugh every day so what do I know when the great "Anointed One" must attack the only real opposition (Rush Limbaugh, instead of the elected politicians) he has now.
As an aside, it's now proven that liberalism is a form of mental illness that is extremely resistant to antibiotic treatment and can only be cured by continuous listening to Rush Limbaugh, Shawn Hannity or lately the Canadian equivalent, Charles (pablum) Adler.

Same tired old liberal bumper sticker Bull Roar found on their Prius'... "Bush Lied, People Died."
When even Saddam's most senior Generals believed they had WMDs at their disposal, how do you expect a weakened US intelligence service to have better info than his innermost military staff?
Clinton and la-dee-daw, head in the sand isolationists Libs like you held the intel services, and all military in such disdain, they gutted the capability of the various organizations to obtain information.
I get a kick out of you clowns, as if I'm supposed to believe that a report was delivered to the President at the daily intelligence briefings which said "There is without doubt, no WMDs in Saddam's arsenal" but the President told them, piss off, I know more than you do and I want to drum up some business for my buddies in the oil industry.
But then you can't let logic get in the way of a great Liberal bumper sticker can you?

Radical Right Wingers? Thank-you very much Hoov.
I prefer to think about it in my black and white terms of Right versus Wrong.
Oh, and you're right, your ability to protest in the streets isn't likely because of Nark's service. The right for you to be a misguided idiot in public was won for you by previous generations of veterans..... or is that too "jingoistic" for you to handle?
Roughly 28 million Iraqis cast votes a few days ago to be able to choose their own government representatives, and at least have a shot at freedom. The elections were, by and large, peaceful. It is Nark and many more wonderful people of solid values like him that volunteered to join the US Armed Forces that gave those people that shot at freedom .. time will tell what becomes of that opportunity.
You would have made a great human shield in Bagdad Hoov! I'm of the opinion that you would have cut and run, just like they did.

chapter 13 "Use of Spies"
Hostile armies may face each other for years, striving
for the victory which is decided in a single day. This being so,
to remain in ignorance of the enemy's condition simply because
one grudges the outlay of a hundred ounces of silver in honors
and emoluments,is the height of inhumanity.
Now, unless you are kept informed of the enemy's condition, and are ready to
strike at the right moment, a war may drag on for years. The
only way to get this information is to employ spies, and it is
impossible to obtain trustworthy spies unless they are properly
paid for their services. But it is surely false economy to
grudge a comparatively trifling amount for this purpose, when
every day that the war lasts eats up an incalculably greater sum.
This grievous burden falls on the shoulders of the people, and
hence Sun Tzu concludes that to neglect the use of spies is
nothing less than a crime against humanity.]
Re: Obama's "Wife" Says
Thats all fine and dandy however the war was branded as a war against terror, because after all Saddam did have WMD's. It wasn't about going in and freeing people that was not the objective. I am very happy for the Iraqi people who can now vote. There are many countries where people cannot vote, many countries where people are beaten by their leaders, many countries with civil wars. Why isn't the US in all of those countries? Perhaps because they are not as rich with oil....The Old Fogducker wrote:Radical Right Wingers? Thank-you very much Hoov.

Just finished driving about 14 hours, so I need to limit my replies until this trip is over.
For the Libs it wasn't just the money for finding out what was going on in a foreign country, it was far more serious than that ... these clowns believed that intel not only wasn't needed in our enlightened times, but employing them was a moral outrage, and military types were only suitable for serving wine with suppers at the White House.
My conversations with these sanctimonious liberal turds always run the same way, army bad, putting flowers in rifle barrels good. If only we disarmed, the rest of the world would too. After all, the only reason Kruschev stated he was going to blow us all up was because he was so scared. He really looked terrified as he pounded his shoe on the desk at the UN.
The Peace and Love crowd just don't get it, there are bad people in the world, and unlike the little pukes that break into your junk-pile car and rip off the stereo for a few hits of crack, these people want to kill you, regardless of your beliefs.
Libs seem to have no problem with moving into a "character neighbourhood" and converting a slum into an artists' loft, then put 17 locks on the door to keep the local punks out, but rail at the concept of the existence of bad guys that want to do everyone harm in your country.
Hoov ... so you don't think Saddam was a sponsor of terrorism? How about the $20,000 "government grant" per martyr who killed an Isreali? You think he wasn't supporting other scumbags under the table?
In my opinion, Iraq was a hotbed nest of terrorists and I'm glad we used their little hellhole as a battlefield to fight "so-called insurgents" and leave them dead and bloating in the sun with their brains spread across the sand as an example to their ilk.
If I were a talk show host on my own radio station Hoov, now would be the time I would say " Now get lost you commie lib brainless moron, ya hear me? You make me puke. Go start your own thread, you left wing, tax-sucking piece of scum! And don't call again until you get a job and buy yourself a brain."
But I'm a kinder and gentler person because of our recent forum interaction, and instead I will say it in terms which will be more meaningful to you as if I were a radio host on National Public Radio, or The CBC ...
"Hoov, my good man, you've raised some excellent points, previously uncovered by several similarly erudite callers before you. This causes me considerable internal strife, and will cause me to ponder the greater meaning of life and self worth. I shall repair to the sunroom, and assume the lotus position after a period of fasting from my normal water buffalo flavoured tofu diet, and attempt to achieve enlightenment by grounding my spine to the steam heating radiator system. Thereby allowing all the negative energy potential in my body to flow to ground, and reset my internal circuit breakers. Thank-you once again for your ever so valuable insight into an exceptionally complex problem of human interaction. "

Haha you're very creative fog, however I think you're also very close minded.
Was Saddam funding terrorism? Sure thats not very hard to believe. How about the Saudi's, Iranians, Pakistanis? Remember the war was about "WMD's" not about funding terrorism on the Isreali's.
I hope you get your talk radio show someday fog, you would certainly have that shock factor that brings in the ratings.

You have my sincere sympathies. I realize the lefty liberals like you, have a mental disorder, but, it seems, you have a very acute and severe case of "liberalism". You can be cured though, with treatment with one of the very available professional radio systems that will cure you of this very common and curable disease. Here is the granddaddy of them all - you need to listen, not just for a few hours, but for a few weeks.

Re: Obama's "Wife" Says
I swear I'm staying out of this, but you seem to have a few concepts confused.Roughly 28 million Iraqis cast votes a few days ago to be able to choose their own government representatives, and at least have a shot at freedom. The elections were, by and large, peaceful. ... time will tell what becomes of that opportunity.
Don't mistake elections for "freedom," they have very little to do with each other.
As for Iraq.
When America took over and Paul Bremer was the de-facto leader of the country, it was systematically stripped of its assets. Over 250 nationalized companies were, over night, turned public. The entire set of laws governing the Iraqi economy was re-written concurrently - by Washington and put into place by Bremer with zero consultation with the Iraqis. The effect? All protections on the domestic economy were abolished, 100% foreign ownership allowed, with 100% of profits belonging to foreign multi-nationals now being legally allowed to be taken off-shore at a new flat tax of 15%, down from the 45% previously incurred. This staggering move has gutted the country's ability to have control over its own economy, and opened a one-way expressway out of the country for almost all the wealth it produces. The main beneficiaries of these actions are of course American companies, many run by a number of high-ranking current and former US Government Officials. How convenient. The "how" of why they were able to do that is also a good story, but I don't have the time or the inclination to get into that here.
Iraq is not "free." It is now subservient to a multitude of foreign owned corporations who are/have made prodigious profits since the "end of hostilities," with little to none of it being returned to Iraq. This has happened many times in the past, since the early 1970's, but this time all the previous lessons were applied, and as a former Chief Economist of the World Bank (yes, that punitive organization which is responsible for so much chaos) put it, "Iraq got an even more radical form of economic shock therapy than the old Soviet nations did." Enough said, those were disastrous transitions for the countries involved, and this will be worse for the local population - already has been. The Bush administration has seen to it that the entire country has been remade with the sole goal of extracting its considerable wealth. Don't patronize me with talk of "freedom" and "elections."
You really don't have to believe me, it's all in writing, you just need to look it up.
That is what America stood for under Bush, Clinton, Bush, and Regan. I really don't see much change coming under Obama either if it makes you feel any better.
Feel free to spout about what you want - just get it right first.

PS I thought I should mention that in many, if not most places on Earth, Americans are seen as the "bad guys." If only it were so black and white...

The "west" is hated in most parts of the world, America is the epitome of the west. Ergo, this is why there are train bombings in Madrid, London, and countless resorts frequented by western tourists.
These Islamic terrorists we frequently talk about here want you and I dead for the same reason. We don't follow Allah. It has nothing to do with the passport you carry.
Richard Reid was welcomed with open arms, he is an American. There was a teenager from Florida welcomed with open arms by Al Qaeda. Unfortunately he was one of three who survived a massive prison revolt in Afghanistan, where the rest of the prisoners died, thanks to a well placed JDAM or two.
It's your "non belief" that makes you a target, not because of the day in July which you celebrate with fireworks.

That is certainly part of it Nark, but only a part. The policies of American/Western administrations have, for several centuries now, stoked these fires of hate, and in many cases, rightly so.
I understand you have to think a certain way to do what you do, that's fine, but these are complex issues, with complex solutions requiring some give and take - not America's strong suit I'm afraid.
As for "my own medicine," well when somebody on here starts to post things that are in the least bit representative of the situations we're discussing, IN CONTEXT, and reasonably balanced, I'll be happy to take it. Unfortunately there is very little of that on any of the sides of these issues, with most just buying into propagandized arguments one way or another. It's not good enough, and I won't sit and let Foggy post that stuff which cannot be backed up with anything other than hollow rhetoric which flies almost completely in the face of the facts.

Propaganda how can that be? They get their unbiased information from fox news, and I get my inbiased information apparently from the CBC shouldn't it all be the same information?sky's the limit wrote:Nark wrote:

I carry my crucifix
Under my deathlist
Forward my mail to me in hell
Liars and the martyrs
Lost faith in The Father
Long lost in the wishing well
Wild side
