True Intentions

    I thought you were "ignoring" myself in addition to the rest of your fan club... Perhaps you are the one "obsessed" with others as you seem to not be able to stay away. It also makes you a liar which further speaks to your credibility.

    Your positions are predictably laughable. I noticed no comment on his Senate voting record which is not debatable. Anyone who would appoint Valerie Jarrett and Van Jones to major positions of power and influence in our government isn't remotely "moderate". Additionally, his policies have not been because of what HE wanted but rather what he was limited to being able to do based upon a divided government (and he didn't let that pesky Constitution get in the way of things like the Dream Act and recess appointments). When he had complete control of Congress, he was anything but a compromiser... The only reason you don't have your coveted "single payer" healthcare plan is because of Democrats and not Republicans (he sure as hell didn't include them in any discussions other than a made for TV event at the end of the process that was designed in a failed attempt to influence public opinion). Any reasonably intelligent and genuinely objective person can research his record, read his book and other writings, and take account of his associations to arrive at the conclusion that this man has very real socialist ambitions.

    How's that "happy dance" working out for you? Scott Walker is thoroughly exhausted from his.

    Doesn't make her a liar, just shows another area that you commented on without knowing anything about it. As you do time after time, you write as if you know something when it appears you know very little.

    She did not see this post of yours because she has you on ignore, so she did not respond. Because she can see my posts and yours is quoted in it - she will now see it and mayor may not respond.

    Your rant about Obama is the essence of partisan politics blown exponentially into absurdity. It does not matter what his Senate record was nor who he palled around with, nor what he did as a boy. He has been President for three and a half years and has a record big enough to judge what he is by what he has done. You jump around so much that it is hard to follow but you made a few good points but ruin them by misinterpreting what they mean. Most of it is elephant fecal matter straight from the RNC.

    You are right that he has been limited by divided government but you miss the message of the things he wanted but did not get and knew he was not going to get them when they were proposed. Almost every House bill passed is on a template from the far Right bowing to the designs dictated by Grover Norquist and the Tea Party.

    What Obama has proposed, for the most part, have been fairly moderate, only slightly left of center. He has pissed off his base often because he has not done what the Congressional Repubs have done in their proposals - he has not been completely liberal in hardly any of his actions or proposals.

    Take his healthcare plan that has the Right up in arms. The individual mandate came directly from the GOP proposals of the 1990s which had emanated with the very conservative think tank, the Heritage Foundation. Most of the plan is patterned after what a Republican Governor did in Mass., the same one who is now Obama's opponent for the Presidency. The essence of the plan gives PRIVATE INSURANCE COMPANIES at least another 30 million customers. How can you in anyway judge this as radical liberalism?

    In fact he abandoned the liberals from the start when he did not include the public option. That you believe he did it because of the Dems is an opinion not a fact.It is a moderate plan by any objective analysis and could only be seen as being radically left from those who are so far right that Reagan would be seen as a moderate.

    Most Constitutional scholars I have read, say that the recess appointments would be found Constitutional because the process used to fake being in session was an obvious sham and the verbiage of the motion actually says no business can be conducted. Since no business can conducted, it is the same as if the Senate is in recess. Plus the SC is not going to allow the legislative branch to use a trick to prevent the executive branch from exercising a Constitutionally expressed power, which is what the recess appointment is.

    Obama did not bypass the Constitution on the Dream Act. If you are referring to what he did Friday, he utilized prosecutorial discretion to give two years to those who meet very stringent. Unlike the Dream Act this is temporary, does not lead to citizenship, and will be reversed with Romney's election in November.

    That you continue to not be able to tell the difference between American Liberalism and European Socialism or evidently any kind of Socialism never ceases to amuse me. Until you can, you will never be that "reasonably intelligent and genuinely objective person" that you think you are.

    Though often asked, God does not take sides in politics or college football.
