“I wonder if he would be so appreciative of protests against his administration and ObamaCare and the rest of his commie ideals?”

I agree with you, that was the first thing I thought when I saw the title.


Me three. One thing you must understand though, leftists are never ashamed of their hypocrisy. The end goal is all that matters - whatever it takes.

And the disgusting thing is that they never have to worry about someone in the main stream media calling them on it.

Really? And what did Obama say about the Tea Party protests?

He let Janet "the walrus" Napolitano speak for him. Her issuing of a "threat assessment" about the Tea Party Tax Day gatherings, warning about "right-wing extremist elements," when there clearly were no known such elements, said volumes about this regime's attitude toward the Tea Party movement.

Let me understand this: Obama thinks Egyptian protesters who are violent, who injure and kill citizens, and who want to depose their president are “inspiring.” However, in the U.S. peaceful demonstrations like the Tea Party rallies, or Glenn Beck's peaceful rally are, according to him, are filled with hateful, racist people. Those are Americans who, according to Pelosi, are “frightening,” and who Liberals in America and the liberal media demonize and criticize. I got it. What absolute madness!

So, would Obama be encouraged if Conservatives acted similarly to the Egyptian anti-government demonstrators and demanded he leave office?

Obama couldn't even be bothered with watching or listening to the Conservative demonstrations...so I guess Conservatives were not "encouraging" enough for him.

Now all Egypt needs to do is take some Americans hostage, and Obama’s transformation into Jimmy Carter will be complete.

Iranian protesters were against a Muslim gov’t.

Do you think the media may be engaging in a bit of propaganda here?

Oh, for crying out loud.... This is SO blasphemous.

Obama is in his final plunge. Much like a Kamikazi Pilot nosing over. Soon now the remaining Democrats will abandon ship.
