		<description>&#039;Bush didn’t get the courtesy of five months.&#039;

That&#039;s right; he only had the paltry tenure of 8 years to display his immense incompetence, for which the likes of you want him beatified.

Interesting you should mention Pravda; your posts have the same degree of falsehoods and distortions.

&#039;All Oliver can criticize him for is being too nice to Republicans&#039;

Why should he do more than that when you seem to have taken the liberty of voicing every other unbalanced, petty and desperate slur against him?

Whatever will you do when Obama is re-elected in an even greater margin of victory in 2012?

Oh....that&#039;s right....you&#039;ll STILL be whining like a spoiled, petulant child.</description>

		<description>&quot;You see, that what we ‘loony lefties’ do; we give people a chance to prove themselves, and judge them accordingly&quot;

Bush didn&#039;t get the courtesy of five months. In any case, it&#039;s irrelevant. Many liberal blogs have found plenty to criticise, from Obama&#039;s broken promises on gay rights to his adoption of the same extensive executive powers of detainment Bush used.

All Oliver can criticize him for is being too nice to Republicans. It reads like Pravda in its braver momenets.</description>

		<description>Hey Oliver-- That friggin&#039; Hostway ad pops up covering your latest headlines and won&#039;t go away. How do you get rid of it? As it is, I have to wait for 1 or 2 more new posts before I can read your older stuff.

		<description>&#039;The blog now sounds like a government mouthpiece. Hopefully it will get better.&#039;

Of course since OW supports this President and didn&#039;t support Dumbya, you&#039;d like to see the same criticisms raised about Bush leveled at Obama?

When O commits the cosmic clusterfucks that Bush did, you might have a case; until then get used to this and other Left wing sites SUPPORTING the President.

You see, that what we &#039;loony lefties&#039; do; we give people a chance to prove themselves, and judge them accordingly.  Bush was a miserable failure, the evidence of which is blatantly obvious.  Obama has been in power 5 months and the Right is frothing at the mouth over everything he says and does.

Which of these 2 viewpoints seems more reasoned to you?

Let me guess; froth on.</description>

		<description>&#039;Is Barack Obama perfect? No. Of course not. But he’s doing a pretty damn good job and I’m going to say so in spite of the temptation to kneecap him for not being perfect.&#039;

Or the handicap of not being an ignorant White hick you&#039;d want to get drunk with.

&#039;Shame on.....shame on you? Fool me.....can&#039;t get fooled again!&#039;</description>

		<description>&#039;I see that this blog has turned from challenging the ones in charge to mindless cheerleading.&#039;

Especially after the long haul of 5 months in power, there should be so much to find fault with.</description>

A few weeks ago he was doing too much/taking too much control. Now he&#039;s putting things off? Talking points FAIL.</description>

		<description>&quot;The difficult part is that that means regulating money and unfortunately most right wingers think money is speech &quot;

You don&#039;t have to regulate a dime, at least in terms of donations. You just have to require Congressmen to recuse themselves from voting on any bill in which they&#039;ve received a donation from any of the interested parties.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;The difficult part is that that means regulating money and unfortunately most right wingers think money is speech (and under the sway of right wing Justices, the Supreme Court essentially agrees).&lt;/i&gt;

Does anyone think that politics is cleaner now with McCain-Feingold? Keep in mind that since McCain-Feingold we&#039;ve had Rep. &quot;Cold Cash&quot; Jefferson, the PMA scandal with Reps. Pete Visclosky and John Murtha, the Jack Abramoff scandal, and the rise of self-funded (i.e. multi-millionaire) candidates.

And if McCain-Feingold really poses a threat to the establishment, why did it pass so easily with a 51 vote margin in the House and 20 vote margin in the Senate? Are our politicians really that selfless?</description>

		<description>Right winger &quot;Adam Herman&quot;: &lt;i&gt;&quot;Perhaps if there was some way to regulate Congress to forbid the giving of campaign contributors special benefits from legislation, we’d get better legislation.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

The difficult part is that that means regulating money and unfortunately most right wingers think money is speech (and under the sway of right wing Justices, the Supreme Court essentially agrees).

What that means is that what&#039;s needed are tougher campaign finance laws, or even better, public funding of elections.

But that was one of the reasons that Republicans were so mad at Republican John McCain. McCain passed some modest campaign finance laws that regulated corporate money and Republicans were FURIOUS.

The irony was that Republican McCain found all kinds of ways to get around his own laws, Republican McCain took LOADS of corporate cash, and still managed to get gubmint money on TOP of the corporate cash &lt;i&gt;and&lt;/i&gt; private bundles of money for his Republican Presidential campaign.

It was a feat to behold Republican McCain&#039;s sleazy money-grubbing go almost completely unreported by the corporate main-stream-media.</description>
