Obama and the NFL


Noel Sheppard has a great post at NewsBusters about Barack Obama teaming up with the NFL to fight obesity.

Seriously, is nothing sacred? Can we not escape this man at all? People watch sports in general for the love of the game and to escape the daily minutia of life. Barack Obama showing up randomly like a bad rash is annoying.

Since he let you know,”That I’m not always right but hardly ever wrong”. Politics and sports have not to do with each other. I don’t why this Admin looks so hard to focus as the first Omnipresent President continues in the “it’s about me” thing. I wish it would stop soon.

Maybe the “O” should be promoting the Scouts instead? Oh wait a second… that wouldn’t be a predominantly black organization that worships the ground he pisses on then would it? “O” can’t do that…

What do you mean? My comment is hi-larious! And true too — which is why you decided to attack me rather than disagree with my comment.

Also, how exactly can you call me a troll when this is my first comment here EVER?! I do check in here on occasion, generally following a link here from elsewhere, and decided to post this morning. Tried to create an account and discovered I already had one! I assume I had an idea to post a comment at the time I created it, but if I never did, possibly because there was a waiting period for posting? If that was the case, I no doubt had moved on to other things by the time it expired.

But that’s okay. Be at peace, little red-stater. It’s the time of year to be thankful.

In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.

Jack_Savage (Diary) Friday, November 27th at 1:39PM EST (link)

Barack Obama has turned into the Ron Popeil of politicians – everywhere you look, you see him, and he is always hawking something different, new and amazing.

There used to be places one could go to get away from this D.C. huckster. Places where real men hung out, not some bounce-the-baseball-to-the-plate, wire-thin, Howdy-Doody grinning fool who talks more than Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears combined and makes less sense. One place was the NFL, and now Ron Popeil pops up hawking vegetable gardens and chain-smoking to lose weight, and we have to listen to this blubbering crap instead of play-by-play.

There is no rest from this ubiquitous idiot, this teleprompter fed jerk, and he needs to keep his skinny ass off my TV, if only for a few hours on Sunday.

What if the POTUS’s doctor recommend an extended “vacation” to help cure the “O” of being the “O”? Not forcing him out, just shushing him away… for a nice brief 36 month rest at club med (or anywhere else away from the office of POTUS)…

Just a though…

Doctor. “Why you’re so good a short 36 months away won;t mean anything to your chances of being reelected without having done anything more than you did before you ever got elected!”

NarciO. “You’re absolutely right doc! Tell Joe and Michelle the kids are staying in school for the year and book my flight to club med!”

Jack_Savage (Diary) Friday, November 27th at 1:48PM EST (link)

He is everywhere, and he wants to be everywhere, and there is no rest. When I can’t turn on an NFL game without seeing some moronic obesity intitiative from this guy, he has gone too far.

The reason right-wing outlets talk about him constantly is he is the single biggest threat to this country since it began.

Now why don’t you go find a flag to burn or a soldier to spit on, OK?

Jack_Savage (Diary) Friday, November 27th at 2:00PM EST (link)

I am sure things are complicated for you. Ask your Dad for a little clarification when you get confused, and he’ll tell you how it feels to hear “baby killer” yelled at him. Maybe ask him about the three SEALS that are getting court marshalled, and whether he thinks that your messiah is a competent Commander In Chief.

It must feel bad to have every thinking American abandoning your hero, but I can’t help that. Maybe you could go somewhere you felt more at home, like the Code Pink website or some Womyn’s Power blog instead of polluting this place.

Before you do that, let me know where the next Obama lap dog anti-war rally is. Ohh….wait….there isn’t one?

G’bye.

visiting the other side

lynndee Friday, November 27th at 2:27PM EST (link)

My dad died. And we had many conversations about Vietnam. His thinking was far more complicated than yours apparently is. I admired him tremendously and still do.

Let me just say this: When you say “every thinking American” has abandoned “your hero”, that tells me you have been marinating in rightwing group think for a long time now. Which is fine — it’s your choice, and it’s good for me to get a glimpse of what’s going on in the world of those who’ve decided Obama’s presidency is illegitimate in some way and/or simply feel disenfranchised. I can tell you it looks very different from where I sit. No, it’s not the “love fest” rightwingers seem to think Obama supporters expected, but we certainly don’t regard him as a goofball or a narcissist or an empty suit or whatever it is you all think. He’s done some good things and we’ll see if he carries through on some of the other things he campaigned on. He said he was a centrist (notwithstanding the Bill Ayers/Rev. Wright stuff that played in an endless loop on Fox News), and that’s what he has proven to be. If there have been some disappointments, I can’t say there have been any big surprises. I do wish he’d get over this bipartisanship stuff, because that train left the station a long time ago.

As for the Code Pink, Womyn’s Power blog, etc. etc. You have no idea who I am or what I think, but it’s clear that you need to believe I’m a cartoon of some sort. Is your thinking so fragile and precarious that it can survive only in a world of simple-minded tropes? Personally, I think Code Pink is completely ineffectual and it would be fine with me if they went away and found something else to do. Womyn’s Power Blog I know nothing about.

Well, boys, I feel like I’ve done enough rightwing temperature taking for now. It’s been enlightening.

Now we are getting somewhere

Jack_Savage (Diary) Friday, November 27th at 2:48PM EST (link)

And I really thought about taking your post apart, line by line, but I really don’t have the interest. Suffice to say that you have revealed yourself to be very poorly informed, but are probably convinced you mean well. Unfortunately, you can’t be the former and still be the latter. Sorry.

I don’t think I am disenfranchised. I get a vote, and I have cast it in every election since I came of age. Elections have consequences, and a majority of people who are a lot like you – very poorly informed but well meaning – gave Barack Obama “a chance”. We are now reaping what you all sowed. I have to deal with it, but I sure as hell don’t have to like it.

Here is the money quote, though:

“He’s done some good things and we’ll see if he carries through on some of the other things he campaigned on. He said he was a centrist (notwithstanding the Bill Ayers/Rev. Wright stuff that played in an endless loop on Fox News), and that’s what he has proven to be. If there have been some disappointments, I can’t say there have been any big surprises. I do wish he’d get over this bipartisanship stuff, because that train left the station a long time ago.”

You think he is a proven centrist (unbelievable), has done some good things (name one) and yearns for bipartisanship (a complete and total joke). This paragraph reveals you to be an Obama cheerleader instead of any sort of rational thinker, and there isn’t a great deal I can do about that.

Barack Obama is the most lightly qualified lightweight to ever occupy the Oval Office in the history of this country. He IS a narcissist, he IS an empty suit, and you have not been able to pause for a split second to contemplate what was obvious to us and has become obvious to millions of Americans since the election.

You sound like you may be fairly young, which will give you plenty of time to marinate in the results of things that are taking place today. When you get to the age where you finally get it, look back on this day and remember someone tried to give you a clue, which you dropped and stepped on as you skipped down the fantasy trail that most Obama supporters travel on.

He’s failed miserably on every single policy initiative he’s tried. And please explain how he’s proven himself to be a centrist. Look, I know it hurts to see someone you admire so deeply failing so miserably, but you can’t just come on a site like this and start making stuff up. You’re going to get called on it. If this is the best you can do, then I suggest you get on back to DKos or HufPo before your feelings really get hurt. You’re welcome.

Obama should get involved in every “good cause” and every partner and get his mug exposed everywhere – breakfast cereal, underwear, condoms – until people get so nauseated everytime they see his picture or hear him talk that they just turn him out – or better, rise up to get rid of him just to get some peace back in their lives.

It’s called product dilution – and since Obama has gotten this far by media exposure, let him send himself to oblivion with media overexposure.

The greatest evil…is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed, and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voice.
