Yeah, if anything, the SOS is coming from the right. As always, they give you half the story, to make sure those they have an agenda against are cast in the worst possible light.

Not surprising is it that the lefties here are whining about the "negative Obama threads"...Gee...they were almost giddy in recent years over every poke and jab at President Bush....calling him criminal, stupid, lying, and that the "war in Iraq was lost",  attacking Bush for not removing troops from Iraq immediately, demeaning the mission while troops were dying in the field...and no one complained about the "number of negative threads" from the left.

Well..while Obama picks himself up, dusts himself off, and begins again after a lousy start to his administration, we will continue to watch this "boy wonder" who walks on water...but can't pick nominee's for his cabinet despite "intense vetting".  Sorry...but as I said in the previous thread, the Obama Administration is the best friend of people trying to rebuild the republcian brand...and if the President provides the reason...those of us in the minority can be expected to react forcefully.

As a good buddy to and former employee of Kissinger, why would Obama care to do yet another dance for people he cares nothing for?

I kind of see a point here, the Pres may be busy but if both Bill Clinton and George W can visit the event in question AND make a visit to the Boy Scout National Jamboree (every 4 years) then maybe just maybe Obama can make it to an event the awards those people who have earned the nations highest honor.

Granted, it sucks he missed the ball, but there were so many that night, there were some that were going to be missed. The point is, there is a president that is going to change things finally, and he's being knocked because he missed a ball?

How many Obama bash threads are you going to start? Just curious....I noticed some keep getting moved to the Random Stupidity arena.. 

That was/is a problem on Bondage.com, too. There might be some exceelnt threads going on tax policy, say, or how Repubs destroy functional parts of the governemtn then turn around and whine about how government doesn't work; you know, reasonably cerebral discussions. Then along comes one of the Rush worshippers with a flurry of moronic threads like "Barney Frank caused meltdown" (I still laugh at the image of Rep. Frank making all those tough, manly-men Repubs his bitches ("mommy! barney fucked me!" hahahaha))  or "Hillary seen picking nose!", shit like that. We call them "Pelosi farts!" threads. Came close to totally ruining that forum. People left in droves.

Only thing to do is put them on ignore. It would be one thing if every once in a while, one of them would say "Good point. I'll have to think about that." NEVER happens, does it? I have NEVER seen one of them change their mind, except once, when one of them finally understood that Climate is not Weather.

Peace.
