“I've already suggested that apropos use a dictionary to learn some new terms. Perhaps apropos can share some of that new knowledge with us.”

“Your rhetoric is awkward, apropos. You are arguing from a biased position, which is fine, but your logic is cloudy.
Perhaps you don't understand what hysteria means. Why don't you look it up in a dictionary and get back to us.”

“I don't think Obama wants a public option. Otherwise, he'd be in there talking up the idea of a public option.
It doesn't matter what Americans want. It's what Obama and his masters want.”

“American democracy is by "We the People" not by me the president or we the congress or we the corporation. So it does matter what Americans think.

“I've been thinking the same thing. I just can't figure out the sudden shift in Obama's attitude. There must be some sort of threat leveled against him and his family.

“Precisely. I didn't feel any hysteria in alternate id's commentary. Seems as if aproposofnothing has made a comment that is apropos of nothing other than his/her blind allegiance under assault from a reality instructor.”

“how about you not make assumptions? And learning how to read!!! And comprehend!!! And just because you didn't "feel" hysteria doesn't mean someone else wouldn't.
so, answer my point: "Plus, the same people who railed against Bush executive abuses want Obama to "ram through" health care legislation, and signed executive orders. Let's be consistent

Democrats Lash Out At Obama Over Health Care Disappointments

Arianna On "The Ed Show": It Is Absurd To Cede Control Of Health Care Reform To Joe Lieberman
Commented Dec 15, 2009 at 20:21:37 in Media
“You are right. But, what I don't understand is that the administration doesn't seem to get this reality, that if they push milquetoast legislation, voters will be mad as he.ll and not so willing to cast an easy vote for Obama next time around. I just don't get it. How can they be so dismissive of what the people have expressed such clear interest in seeing happen? Do they really believe the average American is stupid enough to accept lousy legislation without any push back? Hmm. I think I just answered my own question. I wonder what New Zealand is like...”

“Yeah, sadly, I know exactly how you feel.
I dunno, there are some PRETTY stupid average Americans (I'm sorry, but I don't know what else to call someone that BELIEVES the line 'Keep your government hands off my Medicare') so maybe it is easy to underestimate Americans at times?
But there are plenty of us that do think and pay attention and respond, and WE are not going to be pleased with this.
As far as emigration goes... well, I know there are people that love this country they've grown up and lived in for so much of their lives, but America really seems to have lost its promise since the Bush years... and Obama isn't doing much to restore that.”

“Stop blaming Obama. He's only been in office for 11 months. He's just playing chess with the other side. You'll see. He supports progressive positions. Really, he does. Just trust me. Give Obama time.
Cue the sound of a very scratched CD spinning its little heart out and doing nothing but repeating the same bit of lyrics over and over again.”

“The desperate cry of the Obama sycophant.
"Just give him time... It's only been ______ months..."
One year was not enough to expect the President to fix anything, but it has been more than long enough to judge his intentions, sense of direction and appointments.
Barack Obama has proven he's nothing more than a corporate shill who is unworthy of our trust and support for reelection
Three years is not too early for 2012 and progressives need to look at dumping Obama and finding a REAL progressive for the next election.”

“I am a progressive Democrat, and every time I expressed doubts about Saint Obama, my Democratic friends slapped me down. For them, there is always tomorrow. "He's only been in office X months. Give him time." Always tomorrow. Obama will do the right thing tomorrow. Well, I gave up on the silly optimism of Little Orphan Annie a long time ago. I am disgusted with Obama and the Democrats. With friends like Obama and the Democrats, we don't need any Republicans.”

“As a moderately conservative Republican, what is your dream for America? I ask this as seriously as you asked Melinda and Lizr about the progressives' chances in 2012. I'm not asking you for a list of politicians. I'm asking you for your ideas about what the country should look like. How big should government be? What should government fund? What about education? Is higher education worth government funding sources? What about social security and medicare? What about the middle class? Are any of these things worth our time and effort? What do you think?”
Progressives Seek Meeting With Obama
Commented Dec 15, 2009 at 09:54:38 in Politics
“Don't hold your breath on any of those goals. Obama brought a lot of people into the Democratic party with his historic run for the White House, but he has let down almost all of those people. It especially saddens me that the young people who were so energized by his charisma are now seeing what a total disappointment he is becoming. They will not be likely to put so much effort into another so-called progressive politician. Obama's lies have made it much harder for another progressive to enter the fray, which might be exactly what the party owners wanted in the first place.”

“This is EXACTLY about who Obama works for. He could have taken to the airwaves to talk about a strong public option or single payer or a medicare buy-in, but he has chosen to remain silent. Instead, he puts his efforts into sending more of our soldiers and treasure to Afghanistan. It's EXACTLY who Obama works for that will make him a one-term prez.”

“I don't get it. Why is the administration and senate leadership surprised by this behavior? I've known for some time that Lieberman would obstruct as much as possible. It's a horrible shame, but it's no big secret that Lieberman is an egotist of the highest order.”
