If "yes we can" means nothing to you, it's yiggedy-your fault.

[LoZoccolo]

The president has called all of us to help the nation move forward; don't blame him if you've spent ten months in failtown.

[the other one]

1. We did help - we elected Obama.

He has job, now we want jobs too.

[AllentownJake]

21. Stop Whining

We are about to make history again by passing a really bad bill in the Senate.

[KansasVoter]

2. He is about 70% of the guy I thought he was.

[Skittles]

3. this is sarcasm, right?

I truly hope it is

[AllentownJake]

15. No it isn't

Now get your ass to work on sound banking regulation and environmental reforms..

[Skittles]

17. OMG

these folk are as delusional as bushbots were

[AllentownJake]

18. Yes

Yes they fucking are.

[Forkboy]

30. Dems have always had their own 20 percenters, just like Bush did.

Their "leader" can do no wrong and they will brook no criticism.

Mindless sycophants suck ass.

[asdjrocky]

4. We've been trying.

Funny, but he doesn't seem to be listening.

[AllentownJake]

25. He likes picture threads

and cut and paste from press releases...get to it, or he will be angry and there will be no public option for Christmas this year.

[asdjrocky]

29. I know he likes being elected.

He seems to really like the DLC, still not so sure how he feels about the people that worked so hard to get him elected.

[IndianaGreen]

5. Hey, all of us are under the Democratic bus

while the traitor Joe Lieberman and them GOP-lite blue dogs have taken our seats.

[FrenchieCat]

6. I thought I saw you on the Green Bus,

posting Socialist Worker's articles all over the place.

When did you get on the Dem bus? and were you there for very long? :shrug:

[IndianaGreen]

9. A Socialist government would have given you free universal health care

it would have never betrayed the working class and, unlike Obama, it would be bringing all the troops home right now instead of escalating the war in Afghanistan.

All those wonderful New Deal programs that Democrats used to brag about (before they embraced Reaganism), began as socialist core ideas. Socialists were marching for racial equality when the Democrats were pandering their segregationist southern wing.

Green Party is a bourgeois party.

We live in a political duopoly. Two wings of the same bird of prey. Or haven't you noticed?

[FrenchieCat]

20. Just observing the fact that your bus is green.

[IndianaGreen]

23. My bus is Bernie Sanders RED

you must be colour blind,

[LoZoccolo]

7. Acting like you didn't have a Karl Marx communist avatar a week or two ago.

Yes, communists have been under the bus for some time. Please stay.

[IndianaGreen]

10. LGBTs and women are under the Democratic bus

Thanks a lot!

[LoZoccolo]

12. Yeah, that's exactly what I said in reply #7. n/t

[AllentownJake]

8. Volunteerism was a key ingrediant of Herbert Hoover's policy intiatives

Just saying.

[IndianaGreen]

11. It also smacks of Poppy Bush's 'thousand points of light'

[AllentownJake]

13. Well in Late Breaking News

The administration has adopted a "Feed a neighbor" program to address the record number of hungry people.

Amazing how quickly the react to a banking crisis with the wallets wide open, human beings in the country with not enough to eat, that seems to be something that needs to be handled by "volunteers"

[msongs]

22. meanwhile the administration is feeding the war machine and the wealthy elite on wall street lol nt

[AllentownJake]

24. Yes, even Hoover didn't do that, he was a stingy man

but with the 4% increase in the defense budget this year they probably could feed all the hungry children.

[LoZoccolo]

14. Fine. Stay home. We'll do it for you.

I saw plenty of people in Grant Park last year that'll take your place. Do whatever else you wanted to do. Have fun.

[AllentownJake]

16. The comment wasn't about political volunteerism

Take my place I could care less, have fun. I'll be out there, maybe for him, maybe for some lower tier candidate.

I was assuming you were talking about the new Feed a neighbor program that has been adopted to address the hungry...I was simply commenting, that is something Hoover would have tried...well it is something Hoover tried.

[LoZoccolo]

26. Well don't let me waste any more of your time

if you've got more important things to do than help your neighbors.

[AllentownJake]

27. I don't think you understand the point

It doesn't work. It didn't work in 1929-1933. It didn't work from 1989-1993 and it isn't going to work in 2009.

When people are struggling a feed your neighbor program is a giant slap in the face, I'll break it down for you.

The fact is there is a giant group of non-profits that have been going after this issue for years, and guess what HIGHEST NUMBERS SINCE THEY HAVE BEEN TRACKED! I'm assuming the numbers of donations are down because some good people who do donate like I do, even though I'm on unemployment right now, are receiving instead of giving.

I'm assuming if you say allocated maybe just the 4% defense increase in the budget deficit you probably could feed at least the hungry children.

I guess which is what makes this the most insulting, it isn't like they aren't spending money on things...they just don't give a fuck other than a press release for the people struggling right now.

[AllentownJake]

19. I'm going to rec this

because it is so silly, I want more people to see it.

[donheld]

28. "Yes we can" means nothing if

he doesn't do his part to move the nation forward. His unquestioning devotion to Goldman-Sach is not
helping move the nation forward. His ignoring all progressives for the sake of a few false promises
from a few republican or DINO congressional people is not moving the nation forward either.

Unquestioningly following his every move is not going to move the nation anywhere it needs to go. I will/have
gladly supported him when he earned it. I will not support him if I think he's doing wrong. capiche?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

31. you know i had some respect for you but lately you have been incredibly intellectually dishonest

or you are really a simpleton.

[LoZoccolo]

33. I think I have been too, but I don't see where I'm doing that in this thread.

Volunteerism was such a prominent aspect of Obama's victory and inauguration speeches.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

35. because all your threads are essentially the same intellectually dishonest thread. nt

[Teaser]

32. recommended for use of "yiggedy" in casual conversation

.

[LWolf]

34. I'm not going to help him move foward...the wrong direction. nt

[HopeOverFear]

36. lol @ "yiggedy-your"

that was great :rofl:

and good lord, look at all the "ignoreds". You really poked a stick in these people's beehive :rofl:

[LoZoccolo]

38. I have no idea how people can see "yes we can" and not notice "we"! n/t

[spiritual_gunfighter]

37. You are busy today n/t

[AnnieBW]

39. The optimum word is WE.

That's what I liked about that slogan. It's "WE" can do it. Not putting your trust in one person to do everything, but banding together to accomplish something.
