Obama successes (5.00 / 3)
By the way, what is Bobo talking about?  First, if we are in war in Iraq and Afghanistan, it's a war that we didn't start. The terrorists started these wars.  We took action to liberate these countries, and freedom is on the march.  These wars are going very well, so what's the problem?  We've made great progress in both places, both are successful examples of an aggressive US foreign policy, as I've been told. Why would these be an Obama "problem"?  Obama will be inheriting these successes?

On the economy I'm even more confused. I heard the President tell me himself that the economy is fine, and that whatever little problems there are will be fixed by socialism. So again, what problem is Obama inheriting. Bush said he was going to work non-stop on the economy from Election Day to Inauguration Day, so we're fine there.  And the bailouts are going to make money for the US Treasury, so Obama will be inheriting a huge windfall there. I can't wait to credit Obama for this brilliant investment by the US government.

All in all, I don't get what Bobo is saying we "liberals" should be concerned about. Things are just fine, and Obama is about to steal all the successes of the Bush Presidency and claim them for himself.

Cant have it both ways, Dave... (none / 1)
Wait a minute, Dave - were you just saying that the wars were necessary and that we should be proud of our accomplishments? How can you call yourself a Liberal? - Oh that's right, Liberals love to have things BOTH WAYS when it suits them politically - you actually bring up an excellent point Dave, about the media and the shift that will take place - somehow, everything IS going to get better because the Messiah has taken the wheel... Yeah, Israel will still shoot missiles at Palestinians who throw rocks at them, the economy will still be in the toilet, but DC will still spend millions of dollars they don't have for security for the second "Million Man March" on January 20th... Obama will ride in on his white horse (no pun intended) and save the day - But what happens when he isn't able to, Dave? How will the folks here at TYT try to cover the shit that begins to stink up the area? - How long does Cenk and Ana do side stories on Britney Spears and Oprah while the country collapses around us? How long do you guys carry the water for an administration that is already in political scandal before they even take office? I can't wait for the first 3 months of 2009 - I hope its a real eye opener either way! Thanks, Dave :)

Quintessential bobo comment. (none / 1)

He completely misses the point, brings up forty things that make no sense/have nothing to do with the original comment, throws in a little vague racism for good measure, AND proves that he doesn't know what a pun is.

Yet, you still missed it. (none / 1)
You know sarcasm isn't a kind of liquor, right?
