Filled with evil intent, Obama will find a way to stay in office and continue his tyranny. He should just resign right now, because that’s what every other President in his situation has done. But then, he’s not the real President.#ebola #isis #wingnut #extremesarcasm

Wouldn’t it be hilarious if libsmasher turned out to actually be as silly as he pretends to be rather than a simple troll?

Would have been funny if Hollandsworth Hound had said “GOTCHA” at the end panel.

Obama is anything but a ‘lame duck;’ is anybody paying attention? If not, keep watching.
Interesting to me is that the ‘lame duck’ theme seems to be used right now primarily by those considering themselves ‘liberal’ or ‘progressive.’ Fox News doesn’t seem to think Obama is a ‘lame duck’ at all.

The problem is that most of the Neo-liberals call themselves “conservatives”. It’s hard to keep up with the Newspeak.

The only certainty is that no legislation aimed at helping people keep and find jobs that pay a living wage, that reduce or restrain environmental destruction, or further lower the costs of healthcare will survive the Republican Congress.

From a column by Mark Morford:“The bottom line seems obvious: Much to the GOP’s bitter revulsion, it turns out a calm, intellectual black man really can run an entire country – certainly far better than an inarticulate Texas bumbler, and even in the face of what is easily the most obstructionist, hateful, acidic and often downright racist Congress in modern memory. Quite an achievement, really.”

Dr Lou: Fox Lies doesn’t think Obama is a lame duck. Ergo Obama is a lame duck. QED.
