What has Obama done well?

you guys make me laugh. you jump all over dbanch, because he speaks against your beliefs. calling him mindless. but posts like this, nothing is said. Obama has been in office all of 7 months. thank god you have all of this figured out already. maybe we can have an emergency election to get someone that suits you into office. oh, i forgot.

Please, you have to be kidding. Your only problem with 70's post is that 70 wrote it. Let's recap what got us to where we are. Miller101 made the comment that basically Obama's problem is he's trying to communicate with Republicans which is a lost cause because all Republicans are stupid. Dblanch said "get ready for a firestorm my friend" I, being a stupid Republican, made the mistake of getting involved in this thread by joking that I couldn't respond because, well,...if I only had a brain. Then Dblanch came back with some assertion about most Christians are ignorant about religious history and most Christians are Republicans so therefore I guess most Republicans are ignorant. SS33 then came back with some evidence refuting Dblanch's allegations and then Dblanch's retort was to...well, you're a smart liberal, you can go back and read the posts.

But let's not act like we should be giving Dblanch the benefit of the doubt here. He hasn't done or said anything that merits anyone coming to his defense. I think we'd all be best served by ignoring him moving forward...or we can just lock this thread.

dblanch was getting the responses he got because of his mindless comments below, not because he has differing beliefs:
...
- he gets called out on a bogus claim and responds with "poopy head" and a nonsense response.
...



Seriously, "poopy head"- isn't that banworthy just by itself. I think we all appreciate discussion and we know there are viewpoints across the board, but to use truly juvenile responses, just is ridiculous.

somewhere along the line this " discussion" turned into an argument

Pretty much right off the bat.

you just proved my point for me. cheers.

Posting stuff like "go jack off to the bible" tells me all I care to know about you. But I'm sure it's all part of some plan by you, seeing as we're all "horses being made to drink." Please.

Yea, you can lock this thread as I'm all out of naming things that Obama has done well.

See? 22 pages of great things Obama has done! Ahahahahahahahaha ... this thread was doomed from the get-go.

dblanch was getting the responses he got because of his mindless comments below, not because he has differing beliefs:
- accusing me of dropping acid (in more than one thread) because I have differing views from him.
- alluding to Christians being stupid.
- calling Smoot's response "uneducated wit"
- he gets called out on a bogus claim and responds with "poopy head" and a nonsense response.
- responds to posts with "doo doo head", "panties twisted", "go burn a cross, you tool", "jack off to the bible, Bartholomew", "your momma"

70s post is his opinion, nowhere close to the level of the nonsense last night.

And you got mad at me because I thought it was funny when the chimp ate that lady. I never said anything about burning crosses or beating it to the Bible. I've read it several times and I don't see how it's that kind of book. There is this book, "Behind the Barn" . . . . well, I'll leave it at that.

I think this thread illustrates that it's very rare that any political issues can be discussed in a rational, calm, and thoughtful manner around here. I guess it's just a reflection of society in general. Anyone think we should just go back to our old policy of no politics allowed?
