What do you think of the zillion Obama Threads?

Postby Hairless Kitten II » Sun Aug 09, 2009 11:33 pm

It seems that everyone wants his own Obama thread. Is it a lack of fantasy? Are they compulsive obsessed with Obama? Is there a cure for?
Should the mods create a separate Obama section?

I don’t mind talking about Obama, but too much is du trop and du trop is too much.

What do I think? That's it's seems pretty disingenuous to complain about them by adding to them.

Who, Obama?

No, like him or not, that man is not a dunce. Indeed, if he were a dunce, I somehow doubt Right-wingers would feel so threatened by him.
"Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we began by declaring that "all men are created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except negroes" When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics." When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty -- to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocracy." - President Abraham Lincoln.

The topic is not 'Obama' but 'Obama threads'. Ingenuous people smell the difference.

I would complain too if we created dozen threads about Intangelon every day.

Where did I say otherwise?

My point stands -- partly because you seemed to just ignore it -- but mostly because it's correct. You are complaining about how many Obama threads there are, and to do that, you added yet another one. Kinda silly.

i think it's kind of the inevitable obsession.

especially now of course because of the situations that were dumped in his lap when he took office,

but also i seem to recall, there always are, with whoever is in office on here,
which is also to be expected because this place is after all,

as much as anything about politics at the national and international level.
truth isn't what i say. isn't what you say. isn't what anybody says. truth is what is there, when no one is saying anything.

i'm all for the great horde of obama threads, i'd make a half dozen more myself... except i already got warned for trolling today under a different name so i'm trying to keep a relatively low profile.

Ok - this topic is rather...well, yeah.

All i see is another Possible Drama Fest.

Yes too many Obama threads are annoying, especially for non USA Citizens, but atleast you have the ability to speak openly and disgrace your ELECTED Leader. Some Countries do not have this ability.

But that wouldn't fully address the point being made.

The thread is designed to remind people not to make so many, and that there are lots active around, and that he's not that news worthy anyway.

Doesn't work. Others and me already did. Still we can't kill the outburst of Obama threads.
I'm not sure that this thread will solve the problem, but you have to try something.

Maybe the mods could join the several Obama threads into one?

But many of the Topics address seperate issues with Obama, not the same subject over and over again.

The easier thing to do is to simply just ignore the Obama Threads.

Hell, even in the UK i know the following guy is the ultimate president:

Uh...what now?

Here's a thought: ignore them. Don't go into them. They don't force you to read them, do they? So, if you're sick of them, who's dault is that, if you're the one clicking the link and going into those threads?

The solution is easy: when I see a thread with a topic in it that I don't care to read about or respond to, I don't click that thread's link. That way, you see, I don't have to see the thread's content, and won't get sick of them. Neat, huh? Try it. It just might work.

Then again, if you secretly DO like these threads because you get to come in an draw attention to yourself by posting in the very kind of thread you claim not to like -- that's right, actually taking the time to type out a response to a topic you don't like in a type of thread you're actually sick of -- well...that's different.

Either way, have fun.
