Obama goes positive: "We've come too far to turn back now."



"I still believe in you, and if you still believe in me.... we will finish what we started...."

I'd like to see him (and Biden) stay positive like this. The campaign has been putting out some terrible negative material — like "put y'all back in chains" — and I hope this is a change of course. This ad seems very strongly oriented toward women. The crowds are nearly all women. I'm guessing their internal research shows women have been put off by the negative campaigning. (I know I am.) Also, it may be an effort to counter Paul Ryan, who's the new guy, channeling the feeling of hope and change that used to be Obama's. He wants it back.

I've accused you of lying. Don't start now.

"
So a budget resolution failed, or Obama's budget failed?"

Harry Reid would not bring up Obama's budget. You know that. Why lie ?

If Harry Reid refused to bring up the budget how in the hell did it get voted down unanimously? Me lie? Ha!

In other words, it can't be both.

Michael K said...

That should have read I've never accused you of lying. Sorry.

Michael K said...

You do understand that budgets are not binding legislation ? They are resolutions. The appropriation bills are then taken up by committees. Reid has prevented that for four years. Come on. You know better !

Don't you ?

That said: Yes Reid would't bring up the budget before the midterms, and yes Democrats are spineless.

Good for you. I felt like I was conducting a 6th grade civic class. Of course, 6th graders don't get civics classes any more.

Sounds like we got Michael/Garbage debating "how many angels can dance on the head of a pin" or else trying to define what the definition of the word "is" is, lol. this rag is ended.

"trying to define what the definition of the word "is" is, lol. this rag is ended." Agreed. I don't teach 6th grade civics.

"He is EXACTLY whom the framers were preventing from the office when requiring a natural born Citizen

Then none of the founding fathers were natural born citizens. How could they be "natural born citizens" of a nation that did not yet exist?"


Correct. None of the founding fathers were natural born Citizens. They were gandfathered in by "or a citizen, at the time...", the only naturalization vehicle in the Constitution before the 14th Amendment.

Mick,

Obama is certainly not a "good guy". He is a Chicago thug and criminal hiding behind the skirts of his Criminal banker handlers, whom have threatened everyone, including the judiciary to shut up.

" Aren't you tangling your argument up a bit? Obama can be a lot of things, but I doubt he can be simultaneously essentially of an alien worldview and also "a Chicago thug." I can't think of many creatures more quintessentially American than a Chicago thug."


A nonsense statement, steeped in the relativism that prevents rational logical thought, and common of the left wing.
