POU Comments Of The Week

For the week May 27 – June 2

Yep, its been a week of fighting words from all corners. The media continues to show its ass and that will lead to many more of us getting blocked by the thin-skinned juvenile bullies – but never fear, we will continue to call them out! You know how we do at P-O-U!

Rigging the Game and O still Winning Comment of the Week

Rhoda, Tuesday Open Thread

Good Morning POU.

So, reading the thread and the links I have one thing to say: PBO is winning and it’s KILLING them. They’ve thrown how much money at him? Wall Street has made it their mission to destroy this presidency and apparently the right wing hates him so much; they don’t want to fix the plumbing in the White House residence.

Okay.

Let them do their worst.

POTUS and his team have a plan and they are working it and getting their message out their every day; and as we head into Memorial day the media is realizing how far behind Romney really is. Why would Mitt Romney be appearing with Donald Trump? It’s not the money; he can write his own damn check or call his friends on Wall Street to do it for him. NO, it’s because Trump is a birther. And just as McCain put a racist birther on his ticket to gain acceptance of the right wing; Romney is hoping to avoid putting one on the ticket by appearing with Trump. And if POTUS and his team didn’t point it out; no one would be calling Mittens on that fact. Meanwhile; people are asking if POTUS will appear with Bill Maher.

Willard is so not ready for prime time. Did he really think Team Obama was gonna roll over and let him get away with saying whatever like his primary opponents did?

A bit of advice son: if you can’t run with the big dogs, stay on the porch.

PBO gave ’em a chance, now it’s about snappin’ necks and cashin’ checks! We in it to win it!

Wow. Well, at last someone has finally written the stupidest article anyone could possibly write about the first family. This is it. No one could ever write anything stupider than this. Congratulations Keli.

Their Hands STAY UNDER The Covers, Gratifying Nobody But Themselves Comment of the Week

Emoprogs still whining…bout something…who even keeps up anymore, ya know?

caribbeanobserver, Tuesday Open Thread

the ’emoprogs’ as they are known, although I dismiss them as intellectual masturbaters, need to realise that people are worn with their continual display of seeking attention.

Slick Willie At It Again Comment of the Week

Yeah, yeah…we know…Bill appeals to a big segment of the Dem population and thus you cannot just ignore him. Hell, I doubt his ego would allow for that anyway, this mofo got an ego the size of Mt Everest. So he went to Wisconsin to stump for Barrett and no doubt that came with a price tag…its the Slick Willie way.

Elie, Thursday Afternoon Thread

As it should be.
Why the loudmouth Democrats demand so little from Bill Clinton yet praise him endlessly;
But demand so much from President Obama and attack him relentlessly, is anyone’s guess.

Bill Clinton wants to keep revising history to become the left’s version of Reagan fake GOP hero upgrade and all, then he ought to earn it at the very least. Not just when he thinks it will be personally and politically beneficial to him and Hillary and their many plans in some way.

No doubt however that Clinton will extract every last benefit, perk and political commitment to him and Hillary in exchange for this trip. It is the Clinton way. They never do anything for free. You will owe them. Forever.

And that is the problem. For it is always expected that the Clintons expect and must be able to extract something from you when they put themselves out like this, but President Obama and Mrs Obama should never expect anything in return. Not even your vote, respect or loyalty. And the Obamas are too classy to hold anybody ransom, hold grudges or unleash a terror of vindictiveness on those they think wronged or slighted them. So the Democrats continue to shamelessly exploit the goodness of both the Obamas and seem to believe the President and First Lady are slaves and permanently at their beck and call to be summoned at will.

BackStabbers Everywhere Comments of the Week

itgurl_29, Friday Open Thread

Like I said last week on Twitter, if folks think it’s only a bunch of repug politicians who don’t want a second Obama term, they better wake up. There are democratic politicians in office right now who are working to get Romney elected. Bill Clinton and Cory Booker are just two of them.

The fact that there are people who insist we should forgive Cory and that Bill Clinton misspoke is just crazy to me. Maya Angelou said when people show you who they are, believe them. Cory Booker and Bill Clinton are just two of many major dems who don’t want Barack Obama reelected.

MonieTalks, Wednesday Afternoon Thread

I have come to the realization that most of the emprog, sanctimonious, always whining and name-calling keyboard “warriors” (who 97.9% happen to be white) have the same race-based angst as their right wing brethren .

Think about it…..POC aren’t putting anti-gay amendments up for votes on ballots, pouring millions into campaigns into anti-SSM like the almost lily white Mormon Church and other Christian churches, and yet we get blamed, demonized, and this President basically cursed out by these same emoprogs because he is stopping these white folks in their tracks and not meeting the emoprogs demands fast enough.

Now somehow, Atty Gen Eric Holder is the problem in the voter suppression wave..the failure. Huh, are these fuckers serious? In their eyes, it is his fault that fraudsters like Rick Perry is carrying out the plans his sponsors like the Koch brothers have put forth. I can guarantee you Eric Holder grew up with stories of HIS family facing Jim Crow, terrorism at the hands of whites in this country less than 50 years ago….hell, it might have motivated him to become an attorney. And yet some emoprog behind a keyboard who has benefited from white privilege (along with his/her family) their whole life what’s to name-call the FIRST Black attroney general due to white folk trickery targeting our communities. GTFOH.

I guarantee you that if any of these emoprogs were old enough during the Civil RIghts movements, they would bemoan that Blacks need to know their plac, be good niggas..all the while praising J Edgar Hoover for his leadership. Remember, these emoprogs are the type who get uncomfortable with Rev Al Sharpton having a show on MSNBC (remember that brouhaha) ….they call him a racebaiter just like their right wing white brethren because they too want to ignore the elephant in the room. The difference of the President and the other 43 blows their mind. More white people of all stripes feel enormous anxiety now, and it ain’t because of the economy alone….it is because they feel the country is in danger but because it is led by this black man and they simple have no trust him. The same mistrust they bring to work each day on their job, in their neighborhoods, and what surrounds them in their likely segregated neighborhoods. That’s why the emoprogs are NEVER satisfied with the enormous progress PBO has done in his short time and the right wing wants you to think he has done too much with his radical agenda.

From Malcolm X (1963):

The white conservatives aren’t friends of the Negro either, but they at least don’t try to hide it. They are like wolves; they show their teeth in a snarl that keeps the Negro always aware of where he stands with them. But the white liberals are foxes, who also show their teeth to the Negro but pretend that they are smiling. The white liberals are more dangerous than the conservatives; they lure the Negro, and as the Negro runs from the growling wolf, he flees into the open jaws of the “smiling” fox.

We can name a whole lotta foxes in the PBO era, with a D by their name, but pure selfish politics on their minds.

Ya Betta Wake The Hell Up Comment of the Week

woody45, Friday Open Thread

I think most people know the deal. The President has made it rainwater clear. If you vote Republican this year it means either you are a rich person who doesn’t want to pay taxes on anything.

Or you are a working class person who has a sudden urge to live in a cardboard box and eat out of garbage cans for the rest of your natural life.

SMH, Times Never Change Comment of the Week

aleth, Wednesday Afternoon Thread

The entire media is right leaning but mostly in it to protect the guy that looks like them. Obama has cleaned up a lot of the messes, so they are ready for their man to take credit for the cleanup.

Notice when Romney said unemployment would be 6 percent by the time he finishes his 1st term—- its the CBO estimate based on Obama policy in place, likewise all his foreign policy shit is stealing from the black guy. It is the same game they played with black inventors, let them do the work and I will put my name on it.

The nation has amnesia right now.

The Enemy of my Enemy is my Friend Comment of the Week

nathkatun7, Saturday Afternoon Thread

I intensely dislike the so called blue dogs. At the same time I would rather have a blue dog Democrat who votes with Republicans some of the time but still supports most of the important issues that Democrats are for. Issues like ACA, Support for investment in education and infrastructure, and protecting Social Security, Medicare and Medcaid.

But even more important, blue dog democrats, like Donnelly in Indiana, can help Democrats retain the majority in the Senate. President Obama will need a Congress (House and Senate) controlled by Democrats in order to get major policies done.

So, I can cover my nose and support this guy because I don’t want to see Mitch (my number one goal is to make Obama one term president) McConnell as the Senate majority leader.
