This one is one of my favorites.

ODS – Obama Derangement Syndrome

If Obama makes a speech about a specific issue, he’s just spewing pretty words. If Obama doesn’t speak on a specific issue, he’s trying to hide something. Or he should have spoken about something else entirely, because when he gets specific about one issue, that means he’s ignoring all of the really important issues he should be speaking about – those issues being whatever it was he didn’t mention.

If Obama did it, it must have been the wrong thing to do. When it turns out to have been the right thing to do, then Obama never did it. And if he did do it, he did it the wrong way. It was too little, too late – or it was too much, too soon. It went too far – while, at the same time, it didn’t go far enough. And even if it turns out to have been right, it’s still wrong.

If Obama proposed it, it can’t possibly work. When it does work, it was somebody else’s idea all along, an idea he blatantly stole just to make himself look good. That’s because he knew it would work all along – even though it can’t possibly work.

If Obama stands firm, he is being stubborn. If he seeks compromise, he is caving. Obama should lead while following. He should be more hands-on while staying out of it completely. Why can’t he take the reins and do what must be done? Why can’t he mind his own goddamned business?

Thanks Nance

Brava!

Well done!





Nance. We love you.

[shenmue]

1. Huzzah!

[Spazito]

2. Love Nance's rants...

Always beautifully crafted and right on point.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

3. And if President Obama co-champions a right-wing bill with the GOP...

...and locks the Democratic House leader out of further negotiations? What's that an example of?

[Autumn]

5. Since it was written in 2013 I'm guessing it's an example of

gazillionty dimensional chess?

[Skittles]

13. it smacks of pure desperation

I'm surprised "The List" is not attached to it

[Autumn]

14. It smacks alright, that it does

[sheshe2]

24. Lol~

Always reading an ulterior meaning.

I talked to Nance tonight, I had this in a journal. I love her and felt like posting it. What she said in 2013 is alive and well in 2015. The Obama hate is alive and thriving on Democratic Underground. Kudos!!!!!!!!!!!!



Madam President 2016~

7. Different issue. The OP is not saying there wouldn't or shouldn't be disagreements with the

President, the problem is that anything he does, good or bad is met with resistance, mostly with republicans.

As to your comment about locking Pelosi out of further negotiations, that is between Pelosi and Boehner, not Obama.

Boehner is for fast track, but doesn't have the votes within his party, and the Democrats under Pelosi voted fast track down, so there is no point proceeding with it. You can call it a lock out, but it is they simply don't have the votes

[DisgustipatedinCA]

10. If the President of the United States wanted Pelosi involved, she would be. STOP.

And while I understand what you're saying about the "different issue", that's not how it's done here. There are people who WILL agree with the OP, and as a result WILL badmouth liberals on this site for some perceived sleight to Obama. You can take the high road and say this only applies to Republicans, but I saw long ago how the OP operates, and I'm not soliciting alternate histories at this time.

[Ed Suspicious]

19. He's teaching her a lesson. It's a total dick move.

[1StrongBlackMan]

39. I don't think anyone much cares what republicans do ...

The OP is not saying there wouldn't or shouldn't be disagreements with the President, the problem is that anything he does, good or bad is met with THE SAME resistance, mostly with republicans A VERY SMALL, BUT VOCAL SEGMENT OF DU, THAT I'M PRETTY CERTAIN INSPIRED THIS PIECE.

[sheshe2]

44. I posted Nance's rant...

because I spoke with her tonight. She is one awesome woman. She recently lost her husband Jeff who posted here.

I am tired of the Obama hate from some here and in general the GOP. How dare a BLACK man take the WHITE House. Since he came into office the GOP set him up to fail. They plotted the night of his inauguration. McConnell said he would do anything in his power to make him a one term President.

Nothing. Nothing he has done is good enough. Never! The Op that Nance wrote. If he says yes, they say no.

Did you read the latest? Obama is now, after all his good work making women's lives matter, is now tossing them under the bus because of fast track. Seriously. He is tossing women and every middle class person under the fucking bus. Oh wait, he is screwing our environment as well.

Dear goddess, I have no clue where these people are coming from, 1StrongBlackMan.

[1StrongBlackMan]

46. Well ...

Dear goddess, I have no clue where these people are coming from, 1StrongBlackMan.

I think we both understand fully where they are coming from.

[sheshe2]

57. True.

Yet I don't want another hide, 1Strong~

[George II]

27. It only took three posts to confirm what the OP and Nance said. Congratulations!

[DisgustipatedinCA]

28. I actually asked a question. Do you have an answer to my question?

[George II]

32. A question laced with negativity - no, I don't have an answer for that one.

[Bobbie Jo]

70. Yup.

Petty comments, as usual...

No surprises here.

[1StrongBlackMan]

37. I think that was covered ...

In, both, the snippet and, more than covered in the longer version.

[cheapdate]

43. In a civil discussion it would be called an honest disagreement.

[spanone]

4. i believe it was eugene robinson who said:

if Obama cured world hunger, they would accuse him of promoting obesity.

[sheshe2]

6. Ain't that the truth spanone!

[spanone]

17. sadly, yes.

[leftofcool]

8. Yes

[mcar]

9. So true

Love Eugene Robinson!

[Iliyah]

20. Yep

[CherokeeDem]

51. I adore Eugene Robinson....

Fantastic, and unfortunately, true statement...

[DawgHouse]

71. +1

[BlancheSplanchnik]

11. I'd been missing your rants,

Nance.

[Bonobo]

12. It's a decent rant, but it doesn't immunize him from criticism.

That's what it seems to me, an attempt at immunization. But criticism is not always wrong or disingenuous.

"If Obama makes a speech about a specific issue, he’s just spewing pretty words."

Yes. Sometimes he is.

"If Obama did it, it must have been the wrong thing to do."

Yes, sometimes it is.

"If he seeks compromise, he is caving."

Sometimes it is.

Etc.

[Skittles]

16. minimize your critical thinking skills, Bonobo

then you will empathize

[1StrongBlackMan]

41. "Sometimes" being the important qualifier ...

click on YOUR "My Posts" and count the number of non-critical, non-second guessing, of President Obama posts YOU have made ... and you will see exactly what Nance is talking about.

[malaise]

15. K & R n/t

[William769]

18. At least she hasn't gone swimming with the fishes.

[sheshe2]

26. Truism!!!!!!!!!!!

However she has been thrown under the bus repeatedly.

[Iliyah]

29. The buses are lined up

And thank you she!

[sheshe2]

30. They may need more buses.

[blue neen]

55. I love NanceGregg posts!

The people who are throwing her under the bus must feel mighty threatened by the power of Nance's words, sheshe.

[Hekate]

21. Luvya SheShe! For bringing a classic Nance Rant back here!

She. Nance.

[sheshe2]

47. She is the best of the best!!!!!!!!!!

Awwwwwwwwww~ thanks sweetie.

You>

[Iliyah]

22. K & R

Thanks Nance!

[MisterP]

23. then he shouldn't push for TPP ... or lock Pelosi out so he could footsie with Turtleman ...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026842629
or that little thing in Syria and Libya we've made ourselves forget

[SusanCalvin]

25. Really. nt

[840high]

31. Yes.

[betsuni]

33. What is it with people who don't understand the difference between ODS and regular criticism?

And feel compelled to leave a snarky comment here to illustrate it. Ahhhh, just have to scratch that ODS itch I guess.

Nance Rants and the Top Ten Conservative Idiots used to be my favorite DU things. Thanks for posting!

[sheshe2]

48. You!

betsuni....

[secondwind]

34. There is only one Nance.

[Cha]

35. Love ya, Nance! Ah yes, Obama Derangement Syndrome .. we've seen it all over the last 7 years..

on DU.. not so much with the rest of the Nation.



June 1, 2015

Obama 89% Favorable, Hillary 86% Favorable, Sanders 47% Favorable (the base loves Obama & Hillary)

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026764290

You can bet whomever wins the Dem Primary and I hope it's Hillary.. that they will want President Obama campaigning with them and for our Democracy.

Thanks she for Nance's OP.. it still holds today.

I stand with President Obama.


President Obama
✔ ?@POTUS
So proud of these White House mentorship grads. Can't wait to see all the great things you achieve. I believe in you!

[JDPriestly]

42. Do you stand with him on the TAA which takes money from Medicare, that's your grandma

and mom, and mine and eventually from you, to pay for the retraining of people who lose and are expected to lose their jobs due to the TPP?

I don't.

I stand with Obama when I think he is right, and when I think his policies are good, and I like him as a person. But when he backs a bill that takes from the elderly and the poor and other seniors to pay for a trade bill that will bring billions to the 1% and take jobs from some of us ordinary people, I'm not for him, not at all.

[sheshe2]

50. "Thanks she for Nance's OP.. it still holds today. "

So true, Cha!!!!!

Thank you for the picture.

Our President and our Brothers Keeper. He will be continuing that after office.

Cha. Best President of my lifetime.

[Cha]

53. Yes, Best President. And, I do stand with President Obama on TAA & TPP.. I just don't believe

all the shite coming down the pipeline.

I know the President's history.. he has earned my trust, she.


@WhiteHouse: “I can’t wait to see all the great things that you’re going to achieve” —@POTUS to WH mentees: http://go.wh.gov/WH-mentees

[sheshe2]

56. Cha.

He has earned my trust as well.



TOD~

[1StrongBlackMan]

36. I remember that post ...

I loved it then; I love it even more now.

BTW, thanks for posting that ... I ended up poking around that site - the articles, but more, the comments. I think I know where I'll be spending a lot of time, in the near future.

[sheshe2]

60. Hey you.

It's late ...

I have another site you may be interested in.

Will get back to you.

[1StrongBlackMan]

69. From the little I saw, I loved how the intra-party partisans interacted ...

there were passionate supporters for Bernie, HRC and O'Malley, and, few if any, "I'm smarter than you because you support that poopy-head, foot stomping" threads, and not a single "all is lost to the oligarchs/TPTB, so let's fight back by voting" threads, that are so popular here.

How refreshing!

[The Wizard]

38. My all time favorite

being criticized for killing bin Laden. Spiking the football? really?

[JDPriestly]

40. Trying to get passage of the TAA which robs Medicare to pay for longer copyrights for Disney

is just plain wrong, and that is what Obama wanted Pelosi to do.

The TPP is a failure I hope, I hope, I hope.

And if Obama sold himself to his law school buddy to get the TPP through Congress at the expense of seniors, your mom, your grandmother and eventually, you, then hey, too bad for him.

Obama should be defending the American people, not selling us out to the corporations.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

45. I heard on NPR that when Obama went to congress over the TPP the Republicans applauded him.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

52. Yeah, this guy.

ODS cuts both ways.

[sheshe2]

65. I heard NPR

Has become a RW station. I never listen to there crap anymore.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

66. People who claim that bought the Bush, "Yer either with us or yer with the enemy" line....

NPR is supposed to be neutral.

[Gothmog]

49. Nance is amazing

[Liberal_in_LA]

54. good one!

[SunSeeker]

58. A classic. nt

[Number23]

59. Kicking and a rec'ing too!

[sheshe2]

61. Number23!

[Number23]

62. That was a classic stroll down memory lane. And it was as true then as it is now

[Rex]

63. It all started with the con man Reagan yucking it up at our expense.

I don't know how Obama has held it together, with no help at all.

THIS scumbag is the original Ratfucker imo. When people get down about the media etc.. remember they hated our party for decades and NOBODY called them on it back then. They just yucked and yucked. Let the virus spread.

And they still sit there, a lot of them just waiting to take back the WH drooling about running the country into the ground.

Gonna miss him when he is no longer in office.

[ucrdem]

64. More of that please!

[Bonobo]

67. At least you are choosing a better class of people to base your OPs on.

Littlemisssmartypants was a pretty bad choice.

Nance is world's better. Universes better.

[napkinz]

68. always remember ...

[great white snark]

72. Happily K&R!

Thank you for this sheshe2...her few detractors may be loud but those of us who greatly appreciate her will not be drowned out.

[jeff47]

73. There weren't enough PoC in this post. Or on her blog. (nt)

[sheshe2]

74. First of all, it is not her Blog.

She posts her rants on Democrats for Progress web site.

As for?????

There weren't enough PoC in this post. Or on her blog. (nt)

What the hell is that suppose to mean? There were at least 2 here, three if you want to include PBO in the OP.

Gotta say, that is pretty good considering many PoC have left DU or seldom post here anymore. They have been run off by the hate. Go ask some of the PoC in the Af Am group. Trust me, they will tell you some facts.

[jeff47]

75. If you'd like to avoid the use of a metric, don't use it.

You decided "number of PoC in photos measures everything a candidate has ever done for PoC". If you don't want that metric to be used, then don't use it yourself.
