Shryke Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 So, how many days do you think Fox News can milk this picture for?I'm predicting at least 2, with it frequently being brought up randomly when a picture of Obama is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shryke Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Would it really surprise you if he did?The man has a permanently sleazy smile on his face. But one of those happy "He's such a scamp" sleazy smiles, not the "Are you sure you didn't elect a pimp PM?" sleazy smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Usotsuki Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Jesus! Can't Republicans do anything without their parents?I think we should show some gratitude for the tireless efforts of the Republican party to increase our stock of implausible excuses. I look forward to the day when a liberal politician can make this statement and escape censure."I did not pay to have gay sex with a prostitute, I simply have a wide stance when hiking the Appalachian trail and a pattern of generosity."

Piper Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Massachusetts - State deficit estimate for fiscal 2010: $3 billion; Percent of general fund budget: 11.2%Expect big tax hikes if you're residents of any of these states.MA just increased the sales tax from 5% to 6.25%, and MBTA fairs are going up something like 20%, iirc. Interesting timing with the gubernatorial primary just starting to get going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrackerNeil Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 So, how many days do you think Fox News can milk this picture for?I'm predicting at least 2, with it frequently being brought up randomly when a picture of Obama is needed.Actually, Anne Coulter will no doubt use this photo as evidence of Obama's homosexuality. Remember, this is the woman who said that there was something gay about Clinton's rampant womanizing. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Camaris Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 lol the cpation under that photo in the Australian newspaper:"Barack Obama takes a sneaky look at the assets of Brazil's junior G8 delegate Mayora Tavares as Nicolas Sarkozy looks on.

Elrostar Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I must say that having your parents do the paying off of your mistress sets a new standard for sleaze. Maybe not sleaze, but just... cheapness. Making the payments in small chunks so that the mistress might be able to avoid paying taxes on it shows a bit of innovation, which I guess should be appreciated. It would also make it harder to uncover, which is probably the real purpose. How is this guy possibly able to stay in office? Between him and Sanford, how does any Republican actually have the gall to stand up and say that they're the party of family values and ethical standards? How the fuck do people let them get away with this crap? Where is the fucking accountability?Why do we notice when Obama may or may not take a look at some girl's ass at the G8 summit? (Ok, so he probably did, but it's hard to tell from just that snapshot) But we don't seem to care in the least about the rank hypocrisy of what appears to be every high level member of the Republican party? Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annelise Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I honestly wouldn't care if my president fucked goats as long as his policies worked.Me either, although I've got to say, I prefer s/he didn't. Or at least did it in the White House dungeon where I need never know about it, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Scot A Ellison Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Triskele,What bothers me more about the family values thing is that voters actually think that it's an important factor to consider. I honestly wouldn't care if my president fucked goats as long as his policies worked.Yes, and we've seen evidence that Pres. Obama's economic policies are working, how? The continued rise in unemployment? The incredible rising deficit and national debt? The devaluation of the Dollar?Ironically, I think his best efforts have been in foreign policy.

Ser Scot A Ellison Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Shryke,Yeah, cause if not for Obama, everything would have been fine....I don't beleive I've blamed Obama for the current situation. Quite clearly the past administration and congress bear a large portion of the blame for the mess we (the U.S.) are in. My point is that his policies don't appear to be ameloriating it either.Triskele,As far as the stimulus, it's just too early to say. Plenty of people are starting to pile on all of the sudden but most of the money hasn't even gone out yet.The money we're turning on the printing presses to create you mean?

Annelise Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 They should have said "listen people, this crap ain't getting better any time soon." Of course he can't say that though.Oh he did and got criticized for being a Negative Nellie on the economy back in Feb/March or so. Changed his tune to be more upbeat after that (arguably too upbeat). Personally, my hope was to be clearly back on track by Spring '10. I don't think we should be talking second stimulus, myself. I don't see it finding any traction in Congress, in any case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Scot A Ellison Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Triskele,The Republicans are shit. I'm hopeing to see the rise of a true alternative to the Democratic party. Not the, "hey we suck but we don't suck as much as the other guy", party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarGalley Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I've also been wondering if the economy drops back into a recession, would people turn to a socially conservative candidate in the hope for something different? I just don't see a Palin or Huckabee as doing anything meaningful for the economy really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annelise Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Also, is it typical for unemployment to continue to rise even after the economy has turned the corner? I'm not saying we have, I just thought I recall reading that somewhere and thinking the unemployment rate wasn't the best way to gauge where the economy is actually at. Wrong, right?Speaking of, have you guys see us lately? 14.1. Ooh yeah.“Major events continued to unfold in Michigan’s auto industry in May, which had a considerable impact on the state’s unemployment rate,â€â€œCurtailed production negatively influenced suppliers and other related sectors, resulting in further weakening in the labor market."Michigan's job situation likely will get even worse; state economists predict Michigan’s unemployment rate could average 14% this year and more than 15% in 2010.

Ser Scot A Ellison Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Annelise,I'm still concerned printing money as "stimulus" will have major reprecussions down the road. We may turn the corner way too hard and kill the economy with "kindness". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
