Is it weird that I actually didn't see the mustard thing or the suit? My family had the Hannity hate channel on 24-7 but most of what I absorbed was when operation 2fast2furious happened and then the cash for clunkers program. Oh and they were big mad about the Nobel award. Not the drone strikes though, Fox didn't really seem to mind that

And let me guess, it was all Obama's fault, no mention that it was started under dubya?

Don't know, don't really care. The dude ran with a lot of things dubya started, I think I have less opinions about cartels and where they get guns from then I do about drone warfare.

Maybe I should examine that but I'm kind of on some other shit than Obama these days?

Oh, right there with you, it was one of many programs he continued that absolutely should have been stopped, much like the drone program. My comment was more aimed at the fact that the right cared about the gun running scandal (because they could lie by omission and blame Obama for it), but other items they couldn't be blamed on Obama so they kept their mouths shut about it.

What a fucking sad state of affairs that Obama is one of the best presidents of my lifetime, but at this point the bar is low enough that subway tunnels have no worries about ever coming in under it. But considering the only other 2 Democrat administrations in my lifetime caused a rightward shift that wasn't mainly based on racism (Clinton's third way, Biden doing fuck all about the new ANP), that says so fucking little. But, finding any reason to push America towards Daddy Prescott's vision from back in the early-mid 1900s is all they're about.

Ooh. Yeah that probably was their angle.

Well said, I do have a lot of baggage with the dude. But my only other points of reference are G-dubs and the Clintons so by comparison (and nobody else really stands for comparison) he is for sure the best we had. Kind of sucks waking up to the reality that our ideas of benevolent leaders are tied to an idea of America that has never existed in our lifetime.
