I guess what I meant to say is “Conservative” — a la FOX, Beck, Limbaugh, Savage, et al — as opposed to Conservative, like WSJ, etc.

And I apologise for the “weaselly” remark, as in “like a weasel”, as opposed to “weasily”, whatever that is.

But, rave on , if it makes you feel better. Why let a lack of evidence throw you off ?

Please explain this “who” to me. Because his national approval remains twice that of what Bush II’s was, and personally I think he’s doing a great job.

But as a Republican, you must have plenty of “angry former Obama supporters” on speed-dial, I’m sure. And I’ll bet at least half of the tea-baggers actually didn’t vote for McCain. Right. Sure, Frank.

“So where did this idea occur to them that Pres Obama is not a legitimate President because he is black?”

Right. There hasn’t been a single bigotted outburst or people sending pictures of the White House in front of a field of watermelons, or pictures of him with a bone in his nose circulated by GOP activists:

Like I said, maybe you aren’t a racist. But you sure as hell are a hypocrite for hating Obama for doing exactly what Bush II did re: spending. In fact, at least Obama’s stimulus bill actually accomplished something if that liberal rag the Wall Street Journal can be believed.

People who are disappointed with him now, and , yes, angry, are not diappointed or angry because he is black.

Think a minute — they knew he was black on Inauguration, did they not?

So where did this idea occur to them that Pres Obama is not a legitimate President because he is black?

Because you said so, or the blog writers say so, doesn’t make it so. If you could produce one piece of evidence that such a change has taken place , besides an occasional email, or derogatory picture , you might be believable.

As of now, you are simply hoping that people will believe you if you say it often enough.

The problem is , that you cannot believe that anyone doesn’t like someone in whom you have invested ao much, and it threatens your self-image . That’s my opinion, anyway.

And if you don’t have any proof for what you say, then I don’t need any, either .

They are incapable of understanding that things that are good for the country might, indeed, benefit Obama politically. But they can’t get over their simple bigotry. In fact, their bigotry is apparently much stronger than their sense of patriotism. Sad.

Perhaps it was something else : Like throwing more gasoline on the fire, by having ten people disagree with me, while ten others told me that, actually, these people were glad that Obama failed , because I didn’t read it right, and I’m a right wing troll, and “Why do you hate America, Frank?” , and “You are a bigot and a racist, because you don’t love Our Dear President”

No, thanks.

Yeah, it was “weasly” …

Go check Pajamas Media , or Wall Street Journal’s Best of the Web — no gloating there.

If that’s not enough for you , go back to “weasly”.

Which columns were those, exactly? You know, the ones expressing a variety of perspectives?

As I said , I have my own reasons for believing that he should never have gone to the IOC, and my own reasons as to why he did so. One of the reasons he should not have gone is that, if Chicago was not chosen, he could not possibly look good for going.

I feel that he should have considered that eventuality, and not gone.

But to be happy that he failed is to be happy that the Olympics ma will not be in the United States. That is rather juvenile, and a sort of spiteful reaction.

People who continually raise the specter of racism to explain why more and more people are getting angry at Pres Obama maye be covering up their own feeling that they made a mistake believing in him — may be — but they are definitely minimizing his errors, while falsely smearing his detractors to justify to themselves that it is not that Pres Obama is making mistakes, it is that evil people tell lies. That is pretty much the opposite of the perspective they had towards Pres Bush, which was , “Bush must be evil — look at the people who support him”.

As I’ve said before, if President Obama could cure cancer the KKK/GOP would bitch about curing AIDS.

They got nothing.

Every single one of those persons quoted in that article, happy that Chicago didn’t get the Olympics, is complete and total scum. Fuck all of them.

The conservatives are only concerned with Obama failing. Fucking scum. No substantive ideas, no dignity, no pride – they claim to love America, while reveling in the Presidents’ “defeats”. Disgusting, reprehensible, vile people, the lot of them.

Fuck them all.

Just FYI, the head of every other country in the running for the 2016 Olympics went to Copenhagen this year. If Obama hadn’t gone, he would have been the only national leader to blow it off.

Media failures are a pet peeve of mine. I’ve decided that on top of all the other things they are – and are not – they are mostly LAZY. And those page one screenshots sum it up.

Um, Frank?

Paranoia strikes deep; into your heart it will creep.

Your fellow office worker is just one person.

The IOC absolutely made the correct decision. Rio had a very strong argument in terms of the games never before being held in a South American country.

But yesterday, when I encountered a coworker who is a “conservative”, he greeted me with a pointed finger and a “Yessssss! Obama failed! In your face!”

This, in a nutshell, was the “conservative” reaction to the IOC decision. Never mind that it was a loss for a great American city, and for our country. All that matters is that Obama has “failed.”

Screw them.

But if the left expected us to listen to vituperation and insults hurled at Pres Bush, they had better get used to the idea that Pres Obama is going to get criticized whenever he appears to stumble. The right is not heaping anywhere near the scorn and contempt that was heaped on Pres Bush (please don’t provide me with one or two examples, unless you would like me to link you to hundreds , if not thousands , terrible things that were said about Pres Bush),but Pres Obama is beginning to exhibit feet of clay.
