I think America is stalled and none of the likely candidates can jump start it.

Certainly not BHO.  Clinton is right.  BHO is an amateur.

And that H in his name stands for HUSSEIN, right? Because you enjoy implicating his supposed foreign-ness, right? Otherwise why would people constantly indicate his name is HUSSEIN? Do people go around calling the GOP nominee WILLARD Mitt Romney?


If you're going to criticize the guy, avoid the xenophobic racism, thanks. He's done plenty shitty things without the xeno-racist angle.

It does have a better ring than "BO" lol Reminds me of body odor, which is better than the rat visuals for Willard.

Is Barack Hussein Kardashian rascist?

No, it's non-sensical.

I think what you took from my post speaks volumes about your thought process. 
Maybe you can tone down the drama a little bit.

Current TV's David Shuster predicts the aftermath of the Wisconsin recall election. Bill asks Shuster if Walker will be a new republican star and Shuster agrees. Shuster does assume an indictment against Walker "is coming" and "allegations that have been made on the ground in Wisconsin are pretty spectacular." Bill calls this the ultimate irony because "you win the recall, and then you get indicted."

John Doe Investigation Fallout for Gov. Walker


"The End Of The U.S.A. Just Happened! DEMOCRACY'S DEAD!" Voter Outside Wisconsin State Capital


After the most expensive campaign in Wisconsin's history, voters decided Governor Scott Walker will keep his seat. MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell discusses with MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, New York Magazine's John Heilemann and Columbia University assistant professor Dorian Warren.

The Last Word - How big money won the Wisconsin recall

[Frenchfry]

"Here's a headline you won't see, but should: "Scott Walker Spent 88% of the Money to Get 53% of the Vote." Political pundits will spend the next few days and weeks analyzing the Wisconsin recall election, examining exit polls, spilling lots of ink over how different demographic groups -- income, race, religious, union membership, gender, party affiliation, independents, liberals/conservatives/moderates, etc -- voted on Tuesday. But the real winner in Wisconsin on Tuesday was not Gov. Scott Walker, but Big Money. And the real loser was not Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, but democracy...".

Bill asks Melanie Roussell, the National Press Secretary for the Democratic National Committee, what the deal was with the DNC in Wisconsin and their efforts before the recall election. Roussell says the DNC did not run from the issue and was "contributing to the effort." She also emphasizes the money raised by Gov. Walker as the reason for his victory.

DNC We did not run away from Wisconsin


"From Eau Claire to Beloit, voters across Wisconsin are relaying stories via Twitter, Facebook and online message boards about anonymous "robocalls" from allies of Scott Walker, telling them--incorrectly--that if they signed petitions to recall Governor Walker, their vote in [the] election has been recorded..."

WI Voters Received Robocalls Telling Them Not To Vote

Have not been posting in a while (working two jobs. . .).  Guess it should be comforting to know that the more things change the more they stay the same.  But - not really. 

[blue2]

Yeah, I bet Gov Walker used all the money raised to bribe the people to vote for him again.  I think what really happened is the smart people of Wisc who happen to be in the majority are getting fed up with unions and democrats wasting all their money.

Then explain why you insist on calling him Barack Hussein Obama. I don't know of too many people that call out people's middle name, unless it makes them sound "weird" or "not one of us", like the name Hussein does.

Why not just call him President Obama, or if you refuse to acknowledge him as a President, Barack Obama?

JBS:
I find it curious. On more than one occasion you have indicated Walker is extreme. Then, in the next breath, you endorse his agenda almost without exception.

Why is this different from FDR, JFK, LBJ, and DUBYA? Just sayin'. You may be just too sensitive? Not that that's a bad thing.

I have called Walkers move against the unions "extreme" and "overreaching" which I believe they are.

I have indicated that I believe fiscally Walker is good for WI, which I believe he is.

I think if you read more carefully you will see where I stand, instead of being confused how I can overall like Walker without appreciating his approach on the unions.

Walker in a way got very lucky in his timing... WI was an absolute fiscal disaster from years of Democrat fiscal policy, he won and also got complete Republican legislative control.  He was able to get away with his extreme union approach because things were so bad that ANYTHING was better.  If WI had not been showing financial improvement from his moves he would have lost his recall election.  He won because even though his position on unions is extreme he was still the better candidate for WI, and WI voters realized it (Democrats and pundits sympathetic to their cause STILL DO NOT REALIZE IT).

I don't believe that I "endorsed his agenda almost without exception" at any point, maybe you can help me with that one.  I also do not believe that I indicated Walker is "extreme" as the term would apply to the candidate.  I have indicated he is extreme on the union issue.  If you can recall any other instances on other issues where I indicated Walker was "extreme" please feel free to show me.
