He’s acting on DADT. He’s immediately appealing the order to stop it. Because presidents traditionally appeal orders against the federal government, no matter how correct they are.
I never realized that Her Maj was THIS much of a faker! Playing “Bluer-Than-Thou” by attacking your own party’s leadership is FAKE ACTIVISM!
People like this are dead weight on the Democratic Party.
I was saying even back before the 2008 election that Obama was Jimmy Carter 2.0. But, hey, something positive has come of all this. McDonald’s figured out if we’d buy a Presidential Candidate for the promise of Hope, they could sell Happy Meals with the promise of Hope!
^It’s not fake if they’re actually disappointed that there are still troops in war zones, prisoners at Gitmo, & no single payer universal healthcare. Just not very realistic. These things take time. Or open revolt.
The irony is, because they are upset with the pace of change (or lack thereof), many are willing to kick out Obama and replace him with what? With the idiots who will make it a hundred times worse.
Unless the Democrats can find a better candidate in ‘12, they would be fools to abandon Obama because there is nothing the Republicans want that is good for this country. Unless by “this country” you understand the richest 2%.
It’s the same problem Bush had. He spent too much and made conservatives unhappy, didn’t close the borders from illegals, and he didn’t lower taxes enough, so his party deserted him in the end. However, it took Obama only 2 years to get to the same point.
Iraq was Bush’s war, and the Afghan war is Obama’s. He campaigned on increasing troop levels and escalating the fighting there, and he kept his promise. Why would anyone who voted for him be surprised that we’re still there?
If the republicans take the house, they will have the power of the subpoena and they’ll do what they did to Clinton, endless investigations. It doesn’t matter what the reality is. They’ll make it up. The grand jury that caught him in his “lie” about sex, started 3 to four years before the so called perjury took place. That’s what republicans will do, again. It will cost hundreds of millions of dollars, gridlock congress. Republicans just don’t want government to work. And this current crop of conservatives are bat shat crazy and dangerous to the country.
I also wasn’t aware that his two superior court appointees were center-right; their past histories show a lean to the left though with good spin and a little censorship one could make them appear further to the right I suppose.
Regardless of the foaming at the mouth this may cause it is my personal opinion that the repubiots still haven’t done as much harm as the democraps have.

Someday-probably not today, people will realize the POTUS is just the spokes model. Until they do, they deserve what they get.

We needed FDR. I fear we have gotten Jimmy Carter.

We need not forget his promise to get us out of GITMO and Iraq. He’s working on it.

“Center-right Supreme Court appointments?” Are you kidding?
Who the heck would be slightly left of center by your standards? Trotsky? Che Guevera?
Stick to the funnies; what you know about politics wouldn’t fill a flea’s codpiece.

One-Term Obama. It has a nice ring to it.
