The Official Barack Obama Thread (country, American, effect, show)

[boo boo]

Either they don't have the slightest idea what socialism is or they think the US is the only country that's competent at anything.

Well, I'm pretty sure it's both.

Obama says he's gonna give a tax cut to 95% of working Americans, though he's flip flopped a lot on that one.

If you believe Obama will stick to his promise, you shouldn't have anything to worry about if you're not upper class and if you're upper class, you have nothing to worry about.

The thing is he has made so many promises who knows what he will actually keep.

[boo boo]

At least he made good promises.

McCain and Palin would have kept a lot of their promises, which is why I'm glad they didn't win.

He has actually been sticking to them though (which is why some of this anger surprises me. He stated months ago he'd been planing to close Guantanamo Bay and all the sudden Fox News starts freaking out telling everyone they'll be murdered in their beds.) I don't think a progress tax is too outrageous anyway. Democrats have been taxing that way since FDR. Which is why I didn't understand why everyone got so angry and started throwing around words like Marxism and Communist.

Because those are scary words to the public... or so conservative media thinks.

Hey guys, you know Glenn Beck is on FoxNews now don't ya?

That guy is hilarious, the other day he was talking about the origins of the word progressive and how it offends him when people call themselves modern progressives, saying it's like calling himself a modern confederate. What a dumbass.

Also, Colmes quit H&C and now it's just Hannity, he has this new gimmick now where there's a big picture of Obama made out of smaller sheets of paper, and every day he does some kind of guilt by association attack job and peels a piece off to show the "real" obama, which I'm sure will depict Obama with a beard and turban, burning the flag and with one foot on the charred remains of an innocent American child.

FoxNews are so f*cking desperate right now, they even resorted to dissing Yo Yo Ma's performance at the inauguration ceremony.

Fox News has gone completely insane. O'Reilly actually said we were going to be killed in our beds (or something to that effect.) They've also argued that FDR made the Great Depression worse and that liberalism comes fascism (even though liberalism is older than fascism and fascism is actually a far right politically philosophy. I mean AT LEAST the socialism/communism comments make sense because they're left-wing philosophies and the democrats are a moderate party with left leanings but come on you can't go from Marxism to Fascism; they're nothing alike.) They're becoming very entertaining to watch; in a "wow they've gone fucking insane" way.
