Don Rickles doesn't know what the fark you are talking about.

it's hard to not come across as mocking and sarcastic when your opponent's arguments absolutely beg to be met with mocking and sarcasm.

Maybe because Obama, like the rest of America, is getting tired of Romney's refusal to have his magical underwear certified.

WHAT IS ROMNEY HIDING?

But there was something darker ... in Obama

WE GET IT, HE'S BLAH.

Ed Finnerty: Maybe because Obama, like the rest of America, is getting tired of Romney's refusal to have his magical underwear certified.

WHAT IS ROMNEY HIDING?

presumably his cock, balls, and asshole.

Ooops sorry. if I had to put up with 4 years of retards lying to the american public about anything and everything, I'd be pretty mean in my response. The fact that Obama keeps it together so well says a lot about how calm he is. Not that he has a mean streak.

Romney...is not only awkward and uncool but a comically clumsy panderer who uses crudely calculated rhetoric to appeal to whomever he imagines he's trying to woo.

So we are back to trying to paint him as the prototypical "angry black man"? Is that really where they are going?

Where's the marriage certificate?

If you can't handle someone being a little bit mean to you, what farking business do you have running for President of the United States?

I can see the headlines now from that alternate timeline where Romney becomes President; "Disarmament treaty called off because Putin said I was being stupid".

Grow the fark up, Romney.

You're shiat and I'm champagne

In case any of you were put off by the sheer stupidity of the opening paragraphs, you may have missed these gems of what-the-farkery:

"In Iowa, Obama "was on an eye-roll-which is what the cool kids always do," Sabato went on. "They eye-rolled at me a lot when I was in Catholic school and it still hurts after all these decades."

"There are two kinds of fighting-narcissistic fighting and Oedipal fighting," Frank went on. "Oedipal fighting is father and son rolling up their sleeves and duking it out. Narcissistic fighting is putting yourself above the opponent by putting him down."

What a bunch of blithering pussies.

Years of keeping cool under racist attacks and childlike Republicans in the Senate, and now one speech where he turns Romney's opponent's metaphor around and Republicans are crying?


"America, please make the big mean black man stop teasing us!"

In Iowa, Obama "was on an eye-roll-which is what the cool kids always do," Sabato went on. "They eye-rolled at me a lot when I was in Catholic school and it still hurts after all these decades."

Has he nicknamed anyone Turd Blossom yet?

"Romney, Obama would have us believe, is not only awkward and uncool but a comically clumsy panderer who uses crudely calculated rhetoric to appeal to whomever he imagines he's trying to woo."

FTFY.

Increasingly in the past few weeks, especially since Obama formally declared his candidacy for reelection and the former Massachusetts governor has begun pulling even with him in public opinion surveys, the president is embracing full-frontal combat

The guy is right; Obama shouldn't be trying this hard. He should be giving his opponent more of a chance to win. That's how these campaigns should work, right?

"There are two kinds of fighting-narcissistic fighting and Oedipal fighting," Frank went on. "Oedipal fighting is father and son rolling up their sleeves and duking it out. Narcissistic fighting is putting yourself above the opponent by putting him down. I think Obama does both. He knows how to be a narcissistic fighter and an Oedipal fighter. He knows how to argue about policy and argue with people. Be he also has this other part of him-and I don't know where it comes from-that's like this pocket of nastiness."

Spoken like someone who never hit anyone in his life. Also, using random pyscho-babble and the phrase "pocket of nastiness" to describe ANYTHING immediately invalidates your sentence.

All you eye-rollers are missing the point. Sabato equated eye-rolling with punching someone out.

So if you ever see this guy, don't roll your eyes with him, it'll be much more satisfying for you, and no more hurtful to him, to just beat the everloving shiat out of him.

These people have not the slightest idea what "mean streak" is. Obama spend *years* working in Chicago politics and managed to make it all the way to the US Senate. If anyone has the least understanding of the sort of political environment the Windy City has they'd know that Obama is being pretty damn civil all thins considered. The whole "that's the Chicago way" thing really isn't just from a movie and I suspect as November grows closer we'll see that training come to the for.
\ I look forward to the whining and butthurt from ol' RoboMittens as Obama *actually get's mean.
\\seriously, not *one* severed Horse head yet, I am disappoint.

I'd say "cow pie of distortion" is pretty solid American political rhetoric. Covers his opponent quite effectively.
and Tucker's blog sucks. What a little biatch.

I'm not against a 67 year old President - probably as only a one-term President - if the person in question is more physically fit and mentally agile than the average 67 year old. But I would require the candidate to have a rock solid VP.

//Hot like whatever was in the trunk of that car.

I believe we can sum this up in one phrase:

"MOM HE HIT BACK!

Folks wanted to see a bit more gumption, and they get a smidge more, and NOW they want to complain about how mean the President might be? Considering the crap that's been leveled already?

What a bunch of f*cking whiners. I am just embarrassed. More so than usual for having stayed in the damn party for so long, hoping to turn y'all from the precipice, and instead, there are lemmings gnawing on the legs of those in the fore to get their chance to leap...

What kind of gigantic pussy is still traumatized by a sarcastic eye-roll from elementary school? Hell, I got my ass jumped and wailed on by three or four cholos. I look back on it and laugh.

Yea, that's the ticket!

I suppose I'm a sucker for cheap slapstick, but Jon Lovitz is right up there with Belushi in my eyes.

Are Newt and Mitt's hands racist, or is that just a trick of the light?

quizzical: I'm not against a 67 year old President - probably as only a one-term President - if the person in question is more physically fit and mentally agile than the average 67 year old. But I would require the candidate to have a rock solid VP.

I'm of the opinion that the Veep choice should always be a rock solid pick but too often you get a Palin, Edwards or Quayle.

Not to mention Darth Cheney.

*BRRRRR*

Wow, just typing his nickname not even his actual real name the temperature dropped like 5 degrees here.

That's hella-creepy.

Basically, as I see it on the veep pick, Rmoney has two choices here, he can either pick someone who excites the base (Think Santorum, Bachmann, Huckabee, Palin here) and drive off moderates and independents in droves or he can pick someone safe, nonthreatening and moderate (Think Pawlenty or the other collection of nobodies who've briefly popped up in the news this last week or so) and piss off the base so that they stay home or *shocked gasp* vote for Obama.

Sucks to be him.

Sabyen91: So we are back to trying to paint him as the prototypical "angry black man"? Is that really where they are going?

I think the main argument that they are going for on paper is that he's a bully and not being "presidential", but if a few soccer moms and shut-ins and drudge readers want to go with the connotation that he's angry black man, they're going to be just fine with that. It's similar to the whole "Obama acts above his station and you're racist if you think that means uppity".

So far today we've had one green light that says Obama is lazy and one that says he's angry. Now all we need is one that says he doesn't know his place for the stereotype trifecta. Find one that says his campaign against Romney is really him unleashing his anger at successful white people and we've hit the superfecta.

I know he shouldn't be embracing full-frontal anything with anyone except Michelle.

Call me when Obama starts trying to use the Vulcan Death Grip on people.

Schoolyard fights were a matter of course back in the day. Built character did that.

I once beat up a guy for stealing my girl in HS. Her went on to beat me up after I stole her back. Then she dumped both of us and we became pals. Life is funny. We still larf about it now.

This Saputo guy is such a massive pussy I'm amazed Georgia O'Keefe never painted his portrait.

This is my take on it, too. The GOP may surprise us with an unknown (like Palin), and maybe even a fully vetted unknown... but that person is going to have to be either a walking derp machine, or dull as paint. Either one loses him votes in droves.

Now if the farking press would stop trying to create a damn race, so they have something to report. They're Romney's biggest ally right now.

It is 92 degrees where I live. Perfect weather for watermelon. I wonder if Obama would like to come over. He doesn't even have to steal it.
