The only thing certain when Obama says something is that something other than what he says he believes in will end up happening in the end. At that point his supporters will undoubtedly pretend as if he clearly didn't mean whatever it is he said to be taken literally and, of course, everyone was stupid for not realizing it at the time. Besides. George W. Bush.</p> <p>In order to argue to the import of someone's words, that person must have credibility that they will follow through with what they say. Obama has no such credibility. And, equally important, his supporters have no credibility that they care one way or the other. When Solomon holds up the baby, best I can tell, they scream out "Chop the fucker! And toss that bitch on the BBQ! <em>Just don't let anyone else have it!</em>"</p> <p>But, really, kind of weighty stuff for a satire thread, no? You *do* know how this Decider character works, right?</p> </div></div></div> Wed, 10 Aug 2011 06:56:26 +0000 Lazy KGB comment 130719 at http://dagblog.com Obviously, few people http://dagblog.com/comment/130653#comment-130653 <a id="comment-130653"></a> <p><em>In reply to <a href="http://dagblog.com/reader-blogs/rick-perry-will-be-our-rainmaker-11258">Rick Perry WILL Be Our Rainmaker!</a></em></p> <div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>Obviously, few people understand your pure genius, sir.  I think if the Rickster can get Turdblossom to come on board and pick a running mate like Liz "BabyDick" Cheney, he could walk into the White Castle the day after the election and no one would stop him.  He could put up a big tent on the front lawn and invite the "Have Mores" and that crew from C Street to a weekly prayer meeting.  Then let some serious ass kicking commence.  I'm starting to hear the banjos.  YeeeeeeHaw!!!</p> </div></div></div> Wed, 10 Aug 2011 00:01:23 +0000 TJ comment 130653 at http://dagblog.com So you think we ought to make http://dagblog.com/comment/130595#comment-130595 <a id="comment-130595"></a> <p><em>In reply to <a href="http://dagblog.com/reader-blogs/rick-perry-will-be-our-rainmaker-11258">Rick Perry WILL Be Our Rainmaker!</a></em></p> <div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>So you think we ought to make sure that anyone that becomes president should at least get a D in economics in college like Perry did.  Is that what you got?  I got the impression that you never took economics.  I don't know if they offered economics back in McCain's day....</p> </div></div></div> Tue, 09 Aug 2011 18:32:53 +0000 synchronicity comment 130595 at http://dagblog.com Nobody but nerds reads the http://dagblog.com/comment/130484#comment-130484 <a id="comment-130484"></a> <p><em>In reply to <a href="http://dagblog.com/comment/130481#comment-130481">Where do you think I got the</a></em></p> <div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>Nobody but nerds reads the story, buddy.

"But there's not much further that we can cut in either of those categories. What we need to do now is combine those spending cuts with two additional steps: tax reform that will ask those who can afford it to pay their fair share and modest adjustments to health care programs like Medicare."</p> </div></div></div> Mon, 08 Aug 2011 22:08:24 +0000 Elusive Trope comment 130470 at http://dagblog.com He is always good.
