NY Time Editorial Board - The Administration Has Lost All Credibility

[ChinaBandit]

My Sargent Elias, how the worm has turned...

Notice how the Lord of the Gook conveniently left out a link to back up his claim. I guess he just "forgot". Lots of "forgetfulness" lately by right wing whackadoodles who are desperate to hang something....ANYTHING...resembling a scandal on President Obama.

The actual quote..."The administration has now lost all credibility on this issue." refers to the NSA Wiretap controversy. It's completely legal for the NSA to wiretap whomever the hell they want to, because Congress gave President Bush the power to legally do so after it appeared Dubya was breaking the law.

I would add that just because something is "legal" doesn't make it right. I believe widespread indiscriminate wiretap fishing expeditions to be wrong, period, and just because there's a Democratic president in the White House doesn't make the law any less odious.

So for the record: The Obama Administration is wrong to continue the wrong policies of the Bush Administration. Two wrongs don't make a right, no matter how often right wing whackadoodles preach that Gospel.

The sign of a good alt is when they never break role. Unfortunately, this alt has lost all credibility. All I ever see them create anymore are right-wing threads criticizing the present administration. Oh well...what do you expect? The alt can only be as good as its creator.

 

[Bert Notorius]

i reject the premise that it had any credibility to lose.

 

[ChinaBandit]

I did not conveniently leave out the link.

The PRC blocks the Times website.

Isn't it funny how the left runs to blame it on Bush rather than admit Obama's overreach. The editorial says, per CNN: "Obama is proving the truism that the executive will use any power it is given and very likely abuse it."

That is an actual quote Throb!

Actually, the NYT made that edit after it was published, quietly and slithery-like. "On this issue" was not part of the original quote. You should probably apologize to the OP for being a) wrong and b) an offensive dick.

You're from someplace in the midwest and have been married 30 years to the same woman.

I reject that what you call living is any more than taking breaths.

the obama administration had no credibility to lose you fucking idiots.

Now you are looking dumb...thanks

Policies in force now are Obama policies, Bush is no longer in office. Plus Al Gore now says obama sucks too.

Rob is a racist and a hypocritical buffon. He gets off on calling my wife a gook while being one of the largest consumers of Asian porn in East Texas.

At his weight, he is the largest consumer period.

[Bert Notorius]

Don't you feel uncomfortable with the fascist in the White House?

It was also refreshing to see that more Americans (49%) think ObamaCare is a bad idea, per that conservative polling group known as NBC/Wall Street Journal. Only 37% think it's a good idea.

History will judge this to be one of the most ineffecutual presidency's ever!

For what it's worth, I don't think Rob is a racist. I think Rob says vile, racist things because he thinks he's making a point. He isn't.

At his weight, he is the largest consumer period.

Shut up.

You don't have control of Congress and Obama can't get any more of his Socialist agenda passed. Get use to it.

All we have to do is sit and wait. Each year, more and more of the GOP dies from old age. What is replacing them? Nothing.

He goes after AJ's Asian daughter as well. He's not a man, he's a racist coward.

Motivation for my afternoon kickboxing workout. The bags are tighter than his gut though.

Your theory. Mine? What goes around comes around.

Ok, while I obviously do not like a lot of the things that Rob says, I called him out because he made a claim that was factually incorrect. I provided him with evidence to the contrary (that's how that works, btw). End of transaction.

Whining about him after he's gone and making stupid low blows is not making you look any better - it just seems petty and cowardly. Everyone needs to simmer down and go back to hating Obama.
