    The Phony War: Obama and Romney Are Debating Character, Not Policy

    More than five months from Election Day, the back-and-forth about Mitt Romney’s record at Bain already feels played out. Unfortunately, there’s good reason to expect the campaign continues in this vein indefinitely. Neither Barack Obama nor Mitt Romney are terribly interested in dwelling on policy platforms. Romney’s plan to slash spending and keep taxes low on the wealthy isn’t especially popular, at least not at any level of detail beyond a blithe promise to shrink the deficit. Meanwhile, Obama’s signature first-term achievements, like health care, the stimulus and Wall Street reform, are all unpopular or tricky to sell. (The Dodd-Frank bill is the most popular of these, but hyping it means offending wealthy donors.) So what we’re getting instead is a superficial duel about character–and, worse, one that’s based on the largely false premise that the better man can better “manage” the economy back to health.

    Audacity of Dope: Tales of a Toking Teenage Obama

    We knew Barack Obama smoked weed in high school because he wrote about it in his books. What we didn’t know until Buzzfeed posted these choice nuggets (I’m so sorry) from David Maraniss’s new book on the President’s younger years, is the giggle-worthy details of his “Choom Gang” lifestyle, which are right out of a buddy stoner flick. Obama and his friends drove around the lush Hawaii countryside, hot-boxing their VW bus and re-upping with a long-haired pizza-tossing dealer named Ray, who Obama thanked in his yearbook “for all the good times.”

    Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale,
    A tale of a fateful trip
    That started from this tropic port
    Aboard this tiny ship.

    The mate was a mighty sailing man,
    The skipper brave and sure.
    Five passengers set sail that day
    For a three hour tour, a three hour tour.

    The weather started getting rough,
    The tiny ship was tossed,
    If not for the courage of the fearless crew
    The minnow would be lost, the minnow would be lost.

    The ship set ground on the shore of this uncharted desert isle

    With John Boehner
    The Skipper, McCain, too
    Sarah Palin,
    The Professor
    and Marianne

    Here on Tea bag Island!

    (Let’s not send out a search party.)

    It’s better to be a guy. We can pee anywhere. Give us an empty cup and we can even go while driving. Plus, we can write in the snow. Nothing warms a woman’s heart more than looking out the kitchen window first thing in the morning and seeing “I (heart) U” spelled out in yellow on a pristine white background. That’s love. It’s undignified for a woman to even attempt snow writing. The ladies have to scoot around while squatted down and it’s just meaningless squiggles because you can’t see what you’re writing.

    April, if you are the last liberal to leave (good possibility) be SURE to turn out the lights, okay?

  • sacredh

    It’s a little bit of frustration shining through. We insulted the hallowed Tea Baggers. Defenders of the truth, freedom and yada yada yada. The Tea Party claims to represent Americans from all walks of life and the picture shows them for what they are…old white guys that can’t accept change so they dress up in silly costumes and look angry.
    .
    It didn’t help that they made big gains in the election and then promptly rolled over and let a lame duck congress pass pretty much everything they wanted to. Rather than stopping Obama in his tracks as they expected, they furthered his agenda.
    .
    It’s enough to make you point and laugh.

  • sacredh

    That’s pretty funny.

    The real frustration is coming from the bljobbers like Scardey the Fairy who is upset that gay marriage is legal in only 5 states so he has to move to marry his boyfriend.

    husien,
    .
    There are two kinds of democrats: heterosexual (usually married) or happily out of the closet.
    .
    I am one of the heterosexual ones.

    Please save your fantasies for Larry Craig and Ted Haggard. They’ll enjoy your company.

  • http://patricksartor.wordpress.com patricksartor

    Good night, earl.
    .
    Let us know when you wake up and smell the coffee.

  • sacredh

    husein11, you sound a little upset and defensive. Are you afraid that your Tea Bagger heroes are going to set themselves up for defeat in the next election? Face it. They’re clowns in costumes. They represent old white guys that can’t accept change. They dress up as historical figures because they know they their way of life is going to be history. Short term wins can just as easily be turned into long term defeats. The demographics of the country are changing and it scares the crap out of you folks.
    .
    Are you so afraid of gays and lesbians having the same rights that you do? Does it bother you that you won’t be able to legally discriminate against millions of Americans because you desperately NEED someone to look down on that you think is even lower on the totem poll than you are? It does bother me that only 5 states recognize that all Americans deserve the same rights. I’m not gay but I don’t like any group getting discriminated against. I don’t like minorities being discrimiated against either and I’m white.
    .
    Your ideal America is one that sickens me. It’s dying and that makes me very happy. Get used to it. Go ahead. Pretend that you’re a patriot. You aren’t fooling anybody. You represent the worst of America.

  • earljr1

    Oh, patrick. I DID smell the aroma of freshly brewed coffee. It cleared my head of liberal fantasies and gave me a good, clear conservative perspective on life.
