Thanks for the ping!

I thought the most ridiculous thing that the Messiah has ever said is that George Bush made me a socialist. That’s like saying that I became bad hitter in baseball because the pitcher threw me a curve ball I could not hit.

[kcvl]

he's not really an in-your-face guy.

No, he is a coward who gets others (including the MSM) to do the dirty work for him!

[techno]

4 days in a row with a 43% disapproval number (Rasmussen)

[kcvl]

Obama is no socialist

Like hell he's not!

[techno]

That’s like saying that Alex Rodriguez didn’t do steroids.

The Establishment is a term used to refer to the traditional ruling class elite and the structures of society that they control.

[mojitojoe]

He’s extremely in-your-face. He ridicules and attacks private citizens, he reacts like a lunatic to any criticism, people are scared to criticize him...how much more “in your face” do they want?
_____________
Yes, when he has no face to face opposition. He’s a pussy.

[mojitojoe]

he rubs his nose with his middle finger at debates... on camera.

yes, he is in-your-face
________________
Malcom X did that too. I saw it in a picture. zer0 is weak, and he is an as*hole.

[goodnesswins]

Thanks....I thought that....but, it’s also a very generic term.....

[Prole]

Spot on.

Obama is a street thug.

He tried to intimidate/threaten/harass Joe Lieberman on the Senate floor last year, and he has great Americans like Rush, Sean and Mark in his gun sights as well.

Obama is as filthy as raw sewage, and he is as evil as hell.

[mojitojoe]

Obama is no socialist

Like hell he’s not!

he's not really an in-your-face guy...No? - seems to me I recall reading that some of his advice during his community organizing days was that organizers should get out and argue with people and "get in their faces" - on the other hand he is mostly all talk and no action, so maybe this was just more hot air......

[goodnesswins]

"fineman says obama is no socialist"

Well...he HAS a point....He's a MARXIST!!!

LOLOL!

“....Swimming in the middle...”

I wonder what the heck they are putting in the coffee at Newsweak?

...No job is too big for the man who doesn’t have to do it himself”...Mr. 0’s SOP

Fineman writes like he's afraid of being criticized by Obama and/or his staff.

Unlike Cramer, Santelli, Limbaugh, who say it like it is — he wrote this piece in a very COWARDLY, wimpy (girlie man) way.

Poor Howard — looking for approval in all the wrong places.

[FrogMom]

Him and all his henchmen.

In the past few days I’ve seen video of him telling a heckler to “go f*ck yourself”, video of Rangel telling a taxpayer to “mind your g*ddamned business”, a story of Nazi Pelosi pissed because the entire fracking Air Force wasn’t at her beck and call.

These people need a dose of reality.
