    How long till the ol' bitch of WF starts bashing her Messiah too? :wub:

    Hell, Bush had more support 1.757 years into his term.

    Plenty of liberals have been bashing Obama for a long while.



    Liet has been especially vocal in his displeasure for some time now, probably before he even took office.

    Bush didn't run up a $10 trillion bar tab in 1 1/2 years either.

    Bush also hadn't turned the Constitution into the White House TP either.

    I disagree with that fully. But truthfully, that process was a long and well established one. Bush was hardly a groundbreaker in that department.

    The thing that has really upset the left is that black jesus hasn't acted on the oil spill. Ignoring the damage to Gaia just will not do.

    I think the left is intelligent enough to realize Obama isn't Aquaman, and thus not capable of making the entire ocean bend to his every whim.

    Technically, he said that's what we'd tell the children.


    Children are stupid, they'll believe anything.

    I think the Left has been critical of Obama for the things where it felt he didn't deliver on his promises and how he's more or less ignored them as a constituency.

    The two most "left"-oriented decisions his administration has done is Obamacare, which many on the left had problems with because of the lack of a public option, and making headway on repealing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."

    Meanwhile...

    The funny thing is, "This Modern World" has actually been fairly funny since the Obama was elected. You just managed to find one that sucked, Raoul. :itsokay:
