11. Even a k&r on a meaningful post can get you clobbered these days.
And that's about all I contribute here anymore.

12. How often do you get words shoved into your mouth?
I have to laugh to keep from screaming.

Apple, apple, apple, apple!

So, you're saying orange, orange, orange? WTF? What kind of asshat are you?

It would be funny if it weren't such a frustrating tactic.

I'm perusing the InterTubes for greener pasture... just in case the fertilizer gets too deep... sinking fast in it now.

16. Shitstorm?
A course of action that would appear to lead to a good outcome, but when undertaken, leads to a situation that is utterly out of control beyond human comprehension. (Urban Dictionary)

3. Does this mean we get to ignore whomever we chose here?
Because I'd love, for once, to be able to have a decent conversation and not get sucked into the cesspool.

I'm game. I can willfully ignore.

I'll start by saying that no President of these United States has ever had complete control over how Congress votes whether it be about money (only Congress holds the purse strings) or civil rights. Add to that brick wall the fact that Republicans would take cat food from their own mothers if it meant they could use it in an attempt to make Obama look bad.

IMHO, I'd have to drink a log of the RW Kool Aid being served up by the bucket load around here to see him in that light. If he actually did something heinous that was within his power NOT to do, I'll join the fracas. Until then, I'll pass on the Kool Aid.

7. Afghanistan escalation? Increased drone attacks in Pakistan, Yemen?
Worth a fracas or two. Certainly worth one if it's your house that is destroyed.

18. K&R
And it didn't show up....again! Thanks for trying, LoZoccolo. I know you guys and gals won't recognize my name, but I have been around since 2003 and joined in 2004. I can see the reality of the President's actions and fully support his struggle to get anything accomplished.

24. There's an Obama supporters group.
That's a safe haven in that it's a rule violation to go in there and crap on him. No such haven in GDP.
