He’s well to the right of Bush.

On August 1st after Oblahma (borrowed from someone here yesterday) has put the axe to Social Security and Medicare and the Republicans have promised to maybe, possibly, think about talking of raising taxes in 20 years, will we be treated to another “Mission Accomplished” moment.

I knew all that talk about big boy pants meant no good.

I opened a tab for Urban Dictionary, and looked up “eat your peas”, figuring that was what the kids were calling it these days. It’s not.

So contextually, is he suggesting we being forced to eat Obama’s peas? Or the Republicans’ peas? Expiring minds want to know. And there must be a difference in taste between Republican peas and Obama peas, although I’m not at all sure what it is.

Obama is a FRAUD.

De-elect this Manchurian Candidate.

De-elect Barack Obama.

Obama is a FRAUD.

I think it is about the trickle down theory. They are peeing on us.

Julian Assange extradition appeal hearing – live coverage

But I really like peas.

Obama’s record on human rights could accurately be called fascist.

Why the Democrats Are Screwed

Me too. Now, if he had told us to eat our okra… [shudder]

Ah, frozen pees. I get it.

You have to nuke it or grill it, but I even like okra.

From the BBC

Human Rights Watch (HRW) says there is “overwhelming evidence” of torture ordered by George W Bush.

“There are solid grounds to investigate [George] Bush, [former vice-president Dick] Cheney, [former defence secretary Donald] Rumsfeld, and [former CIA director George] Tenet for authorising torture and war crimes,” said Kenneth Roth, Human Rights Watch’s executive director.

“President Obama has treated torture as an unfortunate policy choice rather than a crime.

One can only imagine how incredibly hungry, probably starving, the first person to eat okra must have been.

Or an oyster.

That was a walrus and a carpenter

After thinking about it, I’m convinced Obama was suggesting progressives could eat his phenomenological impression of the pea. Kind of like the pea’s seiendheit.

Lovingly.

Go in peas.

TBTG (listening intently for the Stinging Rod of Moderation).

You know, they really should just have a swear jar here. Enough to sting a bit, sliding scale for those on fixed incomes, etcetera.

Have a good day.

Good morning all,

It sounded to me like O said eat shit , I missed the getting peed on part though.

I said it the other day: Obama will unilaterally cut social security and medicare in order to demonstrate how “he” is willing to make sacrifices, (like he’s ever going to need either program), and then try ton shame the shameless Republicans into offering up a few “concessions” on closing some minor tax code loopholes. In this case, I really hate being right but he has become as predictable as the dawn.

In some impolite circles, the USofA could be considered a fascist country. It certainly is not a constitutional republic or representative democracy that we have consistently been told, or sold. Fascist works for me.

Some how O was selected by the bush family , like the thomas black expectation thing and installed by karl on their machines.

Having us kick ourselves in the ass for “electing him”, priceless.

Americans do not like to be lectured to. He has had his Jimmy Carter sweater moment. One termer. It would be nice to defeat him on our terms with a progressive candidate but he is just determined to lose it himself. Self fulfilling prophesy at this point.

Or Gerald R. Obama moment. Think it’s time to roll out the “Whip Defecits Now” lapel buttons.

I loved those red buttons. I can so imagine team Obummer thinking how cool it would be for Dems to campaign as the true deficit fighters. And we thought Obama did not support pot smoking!!

“Eat your peas while my friends and I eat our cake and caviar.” “Suckers!”

And seniors can skip the peas and proceed directly to catfood.

Bingo. Those cuts are never coming off the table, regardless of what the Republicans agree too.

And Republicans are never raising taxes or closing loopholes no matter what Obama and the Vichycrats trade give away. Since his election, Republicans have been pitching him ducks while demanding that he give them the weapons to defeat him in 2012 and Obama has obliged them by not swinging at the ducks and conceding them the issues… Every. Single. Time. What can I expect from a protege of Rahm though?

Good morning, pups. It’s Brooks, Cohen and Nocera today. Bobo is fiddling with “The Magic Lever,” and he gurgles that any banker, Democratic Keynesian or staunch Republican who thinks he’s found the tool to master today’s economy might instead consider a range of competing options. Mr. Cohen has lost his mind, and writes “In Defense of Murdoch.” He gives us a warning: This column is a defense of Rupert Murdoch. Mr. Cohen feels Murdoch has been good for newspapers over the past several decades, keeping them alive and vigorous and noisy and relevant. Mr. Nocera, in “Chernobyl’s Lingering Scars,” says twenty-five years after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in Ukraine, Poles living hundreds of miles away are still experiencing thyroid problems.

Here they are.

The coffee and tea are ready, the cold drinks are in the fridge, and I’ve got a variety of bagels and cream cheese. Now I’ve got to scamper outside and fill the bird feeders before those birds go all Hitchcock on us. Have a great day.

President Obama has treated torture as an unfortunate policy choice boys will be boys rather than a crime.

Fixed it for you.

Listen, Dear Children, and I’m sure you’ll agree
The bravest man in all history
was neither a soldier nor champion of law
But the first to devour an oyster raw

Boxturtle (Truer words were never spoken)

If compromise is an art, Obama failed fingerpainting 101.

Thanks, Marion, this drought has kept me filling the bird feeders as well. Kept newspapers vital by turning them into political ads for corporate offshoring? I think Cohen’s missing many, many facts.

He’d have done better to listen to Rahm. Credit where credit is due, Rahm can play hardball.

Though given what his goals are, I suppose I’m glad Obama is channeling Lou Costello instead.

Boxturtle (Hey Abboooooot!)

Pull off a bandaid while eating peas.

Sounds like chewing gum while walking straight. I don’t thiink any of them can do it.

Cute; sounds like something carved on a tombstone.

Rahm can play hardball.

So can Obama but they both only play hardball against Liberals.

The Absent-Minded Professor is convinced this is the proper relationship between Congress and the Executive branch. We were sold Hope, and got the Presidency as Flubber Car.

Credit where credit is due, Rahm can play hardball.

When is the last time we benefited from Rahm’s hardball?

Enough to sting a bit, sliding scale for those on fixed incomes,

Fixed, hell, wth this asshole in the WH my “fixed” SOc. Sec. cheque has declined over the past two years and it looks like the unmitigated fucking swine is about to reduce it further.

When he left the whitehouse and ran for Chicago mayor.

Boxturtle (Please don’t ask me to list another example)

Speechless.

Then we’re going to cut your peas.

They’re offshoring as we speak.

Go for it….Bush is in Dallas….not hard to find.

Still haven’t been moderated. Either Mrs. Grundy’s napping, or I laid an egg in orbit. Probably the latter.

Good day, all. Gotta get to Moria.

This must be a new version of Jack and the Bean stalk. Where President Jack gives away the The democrats sacred cow (Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid)for some peas. Poor stupid President Jack. What else was he to do? The Big Bad Wolf (John Boehner) with a crying problem from Little Red Riding
Hood, made him do it. This mixing of the nursery rhymes by President Jack have really frighten the kids . There have been a tremendous increase in drinking songs in the Democratic Party and President Jacks Base.

What? The whole thread and no ‘Visualize Whirled Peas”?
