I'm kind of torn as to whether I'm surprised or not. On the one hand, I'm surprised that a group of Tea Partiers has seen the light on the subject, but on the other, I'm not really surprised because that light was bright as hell, so to speak.

Funny. Republicans weren't whining about the debt when Bush was doing it.

Because that was good debt. Nice, healthy debt incurred killing ay-rabs and blowing up sand! None of this mucky debt we're getting from Obama trying to improve the healthcare system or helping poor people and Mexicans!

Coming from me that's a negative against Obama. I think he's conservative enough for them and they very well could have realized it.

On the other hand, I'm not sure if I believe its authenticity or not.

You really need to grasp the art of sarcasm.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

The best thing about this is how annoyed the establishment liberals will be that some tea party people, who the hate, are on "their" side now.

Or

the best thing about this is how annoyed the establishment conservatives will be that their pet astroturf project got votes for obama.

Either way, this is funny.

I'd like a REAL progressive to run on the Democratic ticket, not some FAKE.


Has Obama even claimed to be a Progressive before? I remember he claimed to be a Blue dog, and he mocked progressives once talking about how Progressives were a problem.

Well this shouldn't really be surprising. Obama acts like a typical neocon Republican anyway.

How is he a centrist when both the Republicans and Democrats are right-wing authoritarian parties?

He's a pushover centrist according to the US Voting Populace, but the US Voting Populace has a tendency to be authoritarian right-wing.

Well let me put it this way, if Romney was President right now and Obama was running against him instead of the other way around would anything actually be different? I doubt it. Even ignoring them both wanting to bomb Syria and Iran for no good reason their stances on domestic issues like healthcare or corporate bail outs are the same.

He's threatened to attack Iran with air strikes multiple times since 2007. He fact he just threatened to bomb them if they close the Strait of Hormuz recently. And Syria certainly perceives the US as seriously on the verge of retaliating against them which given the precedent set by Libya really isn't that implausible. Certainly his rhetoric has been very aggressive. The only thing I can really praise him on is that at least he knows Israel is being ridiculous about the settlement issue, even if the only way you would actually know that is through that conversation with Sarko that got leaked.
