We need to see more of this out of Obama

Obama verbally eviscerates the douchebag from Virginia Click back a little bit to hear the question he's responding to, but basically, this sniveling asshole threw the "Small government is better because it costs less" argument at Obama, and good old Barry ripped him a new one.

If there's one thing I've been pissed about with regard to the Obama administration, it's that we haven't seen him really go after the republicans. To his credit, Obama has really attempted to take the high road, but in doing so, he's allowed the republicans to scream themselves horse and throw out every dirty trick in the book.

I want to see more audacity, and less hope out of Obama to tell you the truth, because he really needs to tell these people to sit down, shut up, and stop acting like retards.

All political stances aside, it's amazing to me that the Republicans haven't realized that it's suicide for them to go toe to toe with Obama. They're just so out of their league, it's like watching the Special Olympics rugby team playing the All Blacks.

I never thought I'd live to see a reasonable, intelligent, thoughtful, american politician with Charisma.

Best thing is, thanks to Sarah Palin we now know that "retard" is a totally okay word for him to use, too!

But yeah, I actually like Obama, although I think he really needs to learn to get on the ball and not be afraid to fight back.

It's amazing that people honestly believe in this farce of political theatre being played out by both Democrats and Republicans.

Those that seek genuine change will not find it in the ballot box but through the armed uprising of the masses.

Yes, because mobs of armed revolutionaries are so good at providing affordable, universal health care.

Shit, I should've realised that when the guy says "This is your health reform bill" he means "Fuck, I've forgotten my line! It's okay though, I'll look at this cleverly-disguised script that every politician has been following since 1776."

I'd trust the armed will of the people over that of the political classes any day.

Shhhh, people, if we observe closely, we can see a Von Oben in its natural environment performing its natural flight technique commonly mistaken for the classic "I know you are but what am I"

Now now, that's debatable. Don't lose ground by moving the conversation. One stupidity doesn't validate the other.
Your 'political' stance (using the word very liberally) filled with way more empty rhetoric than Deadman's clearly makes you stupid.

"Debatable" nothing Martian Law was ten gallons of kickass in a five-gallon jug.


It was so awesome if you google search "Martian Law" pictures of boobs show up.

Obama succinctly described the problem with the Republican premise. Thank God for Obama. Thanks for sharing the link Des.

Is there a transcript available? My machine does not like youtube, and nor does my rather dodgy net connection.

Not to get this thread back on topic, but anyone notice how these recent half-baked "revolutionaries" like Starke and Amunet seem to just repeat the latest news talking points nearly word for word?

It's interesting that people who supposedly have "no political position" seem to be listening to Carl Rove an awful lot.
