Obama: I have some Hawaii laziness

[miles]

No shit? What a revelation!

HONOLULU -- President Obama admits says his worst trait is that he's a little bit lazy and blames his Aloha State upbringing for his penchant for taking it easy.

"There is a deep down, underneath all the work I do, I think there's a laziness in me," Obama said in his interview with Barbara Walters that airs Friday night on ABC.

"It's probably from, you know, growing up in Hawaii, and it's sunny outside and sitting on the beach."

That's why he keeps the White House thermostat at 74° while lecturing the rest of us on conservation, tune-ups and tire inflation...

Miles knows from his years and years working in his human resources cubicle that Negroes are shiftless and lazy.

Most inhabitants of Hawaii are working two+ jobs. There's a thin line separating the plumber/hookers.

Playing the race card again.



Typical Democratic behavior...

Who started a post about lazy Obama? Hmmm?

I'd have thought that you of all people, an official and documented Obama supporter, would be defendin' the president from such scurrilous partisan attacks.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Yeah, we're not supposed to notice a thing he says, it's all in the way he says it, the way he sounds, the sharp crease of his pants, his frank admission that he does not speak Austrian.

Too lazy to learn?



At any rate, you're the one who went form lazy to Negro in one post, not miles.

So you're telling us that Obama hasn't done very much? That he should be doing a lot more at his job?

I'm sorry.

I did not say Obama had a touch of laziness.

miles did not say Obama had a touch of laziness.

Barack Hussein Obama said he had a touch of laziness...

Barack's done a lot! He shot bin Laden! George Bush never, ever shot bin Laden!


What’s so astonishing, though, is not that Obama has extended so many controversial Bush administration policies but the way in which his erstwhile supporters have responded. They face (at least) two options:

1. Barack Obama is a sellout, “just Bush with a tan,” subservient to the same malevolent political and economic forces that Bush was.

2. OR the Bush administration was actually pretty reasonable to adopt these policies in the first place, and the Obama administration has been reasonable enough to recognize the fact.

Both options require the liberal to admit a mistake: either he was wrong about Obama, or he was wrong about Bush. But the first option requires the liberal to sacrifice his love for Obama, while the second option requires him to sacrifice his hatred of Bush. Either Obama was dishonest in the campaign or overwhelmed by baleful influences once he came to the Oval Office — or Obama, once he came to the White House and had the same information and responsibility that Bush had, came to more or less the same conclusions as Bush had.

Unsurprisingly, Option #1 comes out the huge winner here. So powerful is the partisan mindset that I haven’t seen a single prominent liberal writer take Option #2.

They puzzle through the “mystery” of “George W. Obama” and conclude that the contradictions between Obama’s ideals and actions compose “a subtle disaster for all those whose hopes once rested with him.” They would rather abandon their love of Obama than their hatred of Bush. To put it more sharply: they are so deeply committed to the nefariousness and malfeasance of the Bush administration that they would rather believe Barack Obama a failure, a liar or a dupe than believe that George W. Bush took reasonable actions in light of the circumstances.

The Fallacy of False Dilemma raises its ugly head once again on Literotica.

To the surprise of virtually no one, it's in an AJ post.

Only you would say a thing like that.

If we did it to you, you would call it ascription...

We'll wait while you describe your false delimma.

It's hard to see how Obama's first term isn't actually Bush's third.

A real class act, ain't he?

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

A real class act, ain't he?

As always...



He keeps trying to desperately prove to people that he's reasonable and capable of adult conversation but proves on a daily basis that he is simply incapable of it for more than a handful of posts at a time.

Get real, miles.

You are an equally big piece of shit.

OH BOY!!!



Throb has a fan! I bet he votes Democratic too!

Where'd Throb go with his fallacy bro?

Normal and reasonable people don't pray for others' children to die in car accidents.

But hey, that's just my opinion.

Are you surprised?

Or impugn that you are involved in an incestual relationship with them.



I wonder if Petey might even be able to bring himself to agree that that might be a bit beyond the pale...

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Are you surprised?

Sometimes I get the feeling that Petey is a good guy at heart and then all this bitterness just seems to well up out of him...

Sad really.

Miles, I've been very clear about the rules for several years now.

Every time you take a personal shot at me behind the safety of the ignore button, I'll offer up a nice Christian prayer that one or more of your daughters gets permanently maimed in an automobile accident.

You, and you alone, have the power to stop this by doing one of two things:

• Stop taking personal shots at me from behind ignore OR
• Take me off ignore

Since you've been adamant about rejecting both of those conditions, I've got to think that, deep down, you really want one or more of your children to get maimed. Maybe it's a Jewish "victim! I'm a VICTIM, dammit!" thing.

I brought myself! The two of you can toss me in whatever group makes you happy. I have never supported bringing family into the Lit fights. I could go find quotes, but you know it is the truth.
