Morality is not determined by the church you attend nor the faith you embrace. It is determined by the quality of your character and the positive impact you have on those you meet along your journey

Jon Stewart claims that President Obama is "the luckiest man on the planet." Mostly due to the fact that his opponent seems to be getting dumber as he gets closer to the election.
Oh but Dick speech impediment Morris says that he is sure Romney will win by 5 points, and all the swing states, because you know, the polls are 'skewed' unless they favor the GOP. Good grief. Even Hannity bwas shaking his head a bit. GOP: Liars welcome.
Coming from a very progressive point of view I must object to you not including Stewart's takedown of Obama for having his dinner with the winning supporter and his and Michele's appearance on the TV News show "The View" instead of talking to Middle East leaders at the UN Conference as anything but a sitting POTUS campaigning rather than leading. I'll still vote for him as he is the lesser of two evils, but he should be Presiding, not Campaigning.
You really show your ignorance with this statement. Part of his job IS campaigning and winning over the American people that support his approach. People who will support him in the next four years, will go to bat and take up his agenda for the next four years. Didn't you hear him at the Democratic Convention? Didn't you listen to him talk about how WE are the change? You're just parroting bullshit media talking points and there is nothing progressive about that.
To refer to him as the 'lesser of two evils' completely blows your so called progressive cover, you're a troll.
What is "Presiding"? If you are a real progressive...which I don't think you are...you would have KNOWN that the President and First Lady PRE-TAPED this interview...believe it or not...the President can do more than one thing at a time! It's called MULTI-TASKING...you should try it! LOL!!!
The day the episode of "The View" with President and Mrs. Obama appeared, President Obama made two major international policy addresses. He was definitely "presiding" when he addressed the UN General Assembly and also when speaking to the Clinton Global Initiative.
Frankly I'm sick of "progressives" saying that they will hold their noses and vote for President Obama. I'm a life-long Democrat and I will gladly and proudly vote a straight Democratic ticket in November just as I did in November 2008. Beaglemom
Sarah Heath Palin is presidentational. That means she's best-suited to doing cameos on her daughter's reality show that lasted exactly 2 weekes before losing its spot to RERUNS of Toddlers and Tiaras, rather than stumping for candidates with her boat anchor endorsements that sink to the bottom of the dead lake. Now they pay her to shut up and not mention that she even knows them.
I’ve been fighting, fighting, fighting, alone, mostly. My husband isn’t glib (think Garrison Keillor). By the time he says “I believe,” I’ve beaten up six people, and they’re licking their wounds in the corner. But, I don’t want to live that way. I don’t want to keep fighting the James O’Keefes (sp?) until I’m ninety-five.
I wish we could concentrate our energy. I wish there was a surefire republican-go-away. Blogs like this help. Thanks.
When u get tired, it's okay to sit on the sidelines and you can just high-five those who go out and slap the shit out of the trolls and the liars and posers as we come off the field. But eventually you're going to want a little bit of this action for yourself, just to let them know you're angry.
Never think for a second that you are fighting alone. We are all one in spirit even though we occupy our own individual physical space. But if you were here or I were there, we'd talk to one another too much and we might get both our asses kicked on occasion as a result. Not a pleasant thought there. We're with ya.
The show was pre-taped. As you are obviously unaware, spoke to two other groups the day he "appeared" on the view. Or maybe facts aren't all that important to you anyway.
Reaching out to people who don't pay attention to politics every day is pretty important, or our Treasury wouldn't allow tax-favored status to the $1.8 Billion the GOP Super PACs plan to spend as "educational expenses" by non-profit institutions. I expect our President to "make the rounds" and listen to the people he wants to vote for him, and I want to hear his plans as well.
By the way, President Obama gives us an honest day's work every day. If you start your business day and end it at the same time he does, then you wouldn't have a lot of time or energy to complain with GOP talking points under an anonymous moniker about being a "Progressive" voting for the lesser evil. We don't like the whiny people who talk shit just because Rush Limbaugh said something the agree with. You're a shill and a troll, and you're full of shit. There. I said it. Go pout and complain elsewhere.
This has nothing to do with LUCK - President Obama has earned his second term in so many ways. Jon Stewart is another who is upset with PBO because he didn't perform the miracles the left of left decided only a black man could achieve.
The expectations for GOP Presidents are so far below those for democrats - they don't exist.
Who'd have thought Romney was the chose one to lose to President Obama? Jon Stewart was great in this segment! "Democalypse Now" was clever, but with Romney, there's so much material to work with! Huntsman was right, "Romney's like a well oiled weather vane"
Fox News is rife with conspiracy theories about how the polls are all skewed in favor of the Democrats. (They forgot to mention that their own poll had Obama ahead of Romney last week, surprise surprise!)
Lucky? I don't think so. As much as becoming president is a rare accomplishment, the fact of the matter is, his may well be among the toughest presidencies in the history of the United States. WE are lucky that someone with his strength and fortitude is willing to take on the job of cleaning up a lot of messes caused by the past reckless administration.
I honestly believe the man walks in God's favor. Not just because he was able to become president, but because of what he's been able to accomplish while he's been president, and also how his life has progressed since he was a child. I really, really believe he was marked to take on great things.

ReplyDeleteThe View was pretaped.

Most very progressive people DON'T use the LYIN RYAN GOP talking points. Go peddle your BS some place else

"Progressives" have become THE major fly in the ointment of Democratic politics. What Anon 5:11 said...
DeleteThe verb you're thinking of is "presidenting", possibly "presidentiting" or even "presidentititing", but "presiding"? No, that's not correctitarian.

DeleteSome jokes just write themselves!
DeleteWait...isn't it "presidenting"
Deletelol.

It's almost like Mittens Romney has swift-boated himself...Me so sad :(

OMG that was brilliant!
ReplyDeleteFlowers for Algernon was one of my favorite books as a young girl. Stewart used it in a brilliant way. Yeah John!
