“Maybe they should just change the name of the Medicare buy-in and call it the public option. Because nothing in this health care bill seems to register with some people unless the words public and option are next to each other. Even though more people would benefit from the buy-in than they would with the watered-down public option. Just a thought.”

“They should call themselves 'kindergarden humor'. Because it seems like these videos were made by five year olds. And since we're on the subject of ambiguous film endings, don't you think somethings are best left up to the imagination?”

“Actually I think the collapse of the economy should be documented on the Home page, don't you? Now Huff Post is making me move my mouse key two inches to the right of the screen to get to the Business section. Bastards!”

“She's like Madonna meets Bozo the Clown.”

“How do you like them apples?”

“They have already screened the documentary at the White House. Just thought I should point that out. And we would all like a Public Option in the finale bill. No historical analogy needed.”

“One thing that people don't seem to realize, or at least acknowledge, when it comes to Bill Maher, is that he isn't really that funny. After years of watching Bill Maher, I had come to realize about him is that he is a really good social critic with a smug, snarky exterior.”

“Ooh! good one! And the fact that your posting that on here, makes it hilarious.”

“Why? Because he swore on the air? Oh, God help us!”

“The Beatles, Wall Street, Barack Obama, the Ivy Leagues, Liverpool, the federal reserve, etc... Somewhere in here, it's about change, and about how Obama should play in a Rock N Roll band.”

“I HATE Texas!”

“David Sirota didn't like the speech! Finally I feel vindication that it was actually a great speech.”

“Either this is suppose to be some sarcasm-fest or your actually saying that it's ok for kids to drop out of school, because... you did! And your so exceptional? And that's your outrage? Pathetic!!”

“"Uncle! Uncle! Let go of my ear! Uncle for Christ sake!"

That's how I feel right now. So I don't want to come across like some Obama-Messiah loving sycophant, but it's kind of hard when your responding to something like this. So these are my basic generalizations to describe the disillusioned, former Obama supporter:

* You voted for him. You worked tirelessly to get him elected and now your pissed and feel betrayed (and make a point of showing it).

* You like to use the words "us" and "we" to describe "them" and "they", to show that you are a true Progressive (i.e. important) and they are centrist.

* Your thin skin and take disagreements personally and resort to writing hyperbolic articles/comments to show it.

A wise man once said that "patience is a virtue", and that's a code to live by, because at the end of the day, what everybody wants is a nice little health care bill that we can all look at and go "ooooh, aaahh". But we're not there yet, until then it's all theater. And until then, somebody needs to pick up a U.S. Government textbook and read the part about the legislative process. It's very boring, patience acquired.”

“So this is about Obama?”

“Hey! I'm a Communist lover!”

“He's just like Rev. Wright...? Oh yeah! they're both black. I get it.”

“Lies don't hurt, It just exposes the persons ignorance and gullibility. It's the truth that hurts. Maybe they should try it sometime.”

“Angela Jolie?? Anyway, I would have thought the (semi) Clinton bashing would have been but on hold for this one- we can dream can't we?- I guess not. The fact is that two people were released from prison, but that doesn't seem to be Mr. Brenner's concern. I fact I don't know what his concern is.”

“So I'm speaking at a live national press conference, I'm taking questions from reporters, then a reporter asks me a question, the question is about the arrest of a friend (I mean crony) of mine, who happens to be a famous Harvard Professor and who happens to be black. How do I respond? I'm a politician, so I should just blow this question off. Or maybe, the hell with it, just tell the truth. Hmm...”

“It's been my realization over the last few weeks and months, that there is probably no human being alive more self-loathing than a "Blue Dog" Democrat.”

“What the hell are you talking about? I think your referencing the Gates incident honey. Wrong article.”

“If you've got something useful to say then say it. You can try snarky humor (beer, ha ha). Or you can say something much more serious, such as this story seems to have brought out the worst in people, and brought to the fore the most polarizing aspect of this society-namely race. And peoples own personal insecurities when it comes to race. It's extremely evident if you've been paying attention to the comments sections and forums on many web sites and not just so-called conservative sites but more mainstream outlets. Me personally, I can't wait for this story to die out. I view it more as a distraction than as a springboard for any meaningful discussion on whatever pops into anybody's precious little minds.”

“Ugh! Enough with the snark already! I hate it when the writer puts himself before the subject.”

“What this all comes down to, once you get past this "profiling" nonsense, is about a wealthy person who doesn't want to pay more taxes.”
