Hit the road Barack...

no longer fit?

 I saw this cover elsewhere and assumed it was a Photoshopped gag. 

But he brought such a wealth of experience to the role.. Good point...

Easy, we just don't like Obama!

Can you link to the article to which you are referring rather than generalizing "conservatives".  Did you read this article?  What about it was not well written?

I do believe there was a posting this morning that Newsweek is looking for a new Editor.

I'll admit that I thought it was a photoshop at first too when I saw it.  What's that say about the perception of media in the US?

Who's your better alternative? They are all wingbats to one degree or another. :P

And I agree.  However just because option 2 sucks does not mean we need to stay with option 1.  In a perfect world we need a 3rd party.  But we've beat that to death in COJ.

As I've said before I'm willing to take a chance with Romney than to stick with and know what I'm getting with a second term Obama.

Gary Johnson

Romney vows to get rid of Planned Parenthood and Ryan authored, along with Todd "Legitimate Rape" Akin a bill REDEFINING rape.

There is not a snowball's chance in hell I would vote for that kind of crazy.

Better the devil you know.

You said  "Why, when reporters write articles based on findings from the Tax Policy Center (which is run by a former Bush staffer) Conservatives complain about ``media bias''

I wanted an example of one of these articles so I could read it and make my own judgement rather than you make it for me.

Not at all.  I feel that most media has a liberal bias.

And that was my point.  I thought it brought up a lot of good points to consider.  I found no real factual errors nor was there a lot of "commie-socialist-birther" crap in the article.  No more, no less.

And honestly I'm really giving serious thought about Gary Johnson...

I read the first page, and all I have to say is, perhaps this article should have been written before the primaries, rather than when the selection is down to two.

underwhelmed with the piece.

the blame is more with an obstructionist congress than POTUS IMHO

<cough cough>Which the democrats had full control of for 2 years <cough cough>

Exactly.  He could have and should have done EVERYTHING he wanted in the first 2 years.  He's a complete failure as a leader.  He can't even get his own party behind him.

And in your list of things he did I stopped reading after the first dozen or so (I've read them all before).  #2 and #4 created two new positions (like we need that).  #1 is a joke and is not being done. #6, what exactly is that except more gov't regulation and committees?

#7 stimulus, not so sure he should be proud of that.

#12 bailed out the auto industry.  That, by some accounts is going bankrupt again.

In fact so far reads like more like a Republic talking points of things he did wrong...

So why are you underwhelmed?  All I saw was links to two blogs...

...shhhhh don't point out the facts of the first two years of the administration.

But can you blame them?  I mean they were so busy blaming Bush for everything how can you expect them to really get anything done.

To quote the article..

In his inaugural address, Obama promised “not only to create new jobs, but to lay a new foundation for growth.” He promised to “build the roads and bridges, the electric grids, and digital lines that feed our commerce and bind us together.” He promised to “restore science to its rightful place and wield technology’s wonders to raise health care’s quality and lower its cost.” And he promised to “transform our schools and colleges and universities to meet the demands of a new age.”

These are all things that I think are pretty non-partisan.  Things even the right would agree would be good things to do.  He did not do a single one of them.

Had the stimulus plan done what it was claimed it would do: with all those "shovel ready jobs" I would have given him credit for getting the country back on track, at least in that regard.  But so far all it seems to be was a big huge slush fund for government use.

Right, because you think a guy running for President of the US and Vice President would actually be running on the stance that there is "legitimate rape"...

These guys have stands, they can make comments that come back to haunt them. They talk out one side of their mouth trying to win support from their base, then their rivals pounce... no different that Obama's rivals pouncing when he was recorded saying he is going to bankrupt the coal industry through regulation.

But as a rational human being, do you not have even the most superficial test for BS? This does not even come close to passing the shortest sniff test. Not to mention the President does not have the power to do anything on abortion other than sign a bill passed by the legislature. Nothing has changed on the Supreme court to worry about Roe v Wade. Not only can Congress not make a law, they wouldn't if they could because it is a looser plain and simple. No different that the left not wanting to do anything on gun control.

And as far as your legitimate rape.. is this what you are talking about...

But then we "consider the source" and move on. No way to make everyone happy and certainly not in this divided country. The Republicans most certainly tried to block everything he did, because they could not afford for him to have any success. Again, same thing both parties have done which is put the party ahead of the country. I got so sick of listening to the Dems whine for two years how Bush was not going to let them end the war... then you put your sack on the line and end it for what you think is the good of the country.... but they were too busy saving their butts.

So of course the Rs obstructed everything, just like the Dems will do if the tables are turned... because all the parties care about are the parties. Yet you do not think Obama gets to shoulder some blame for his incompetence. He had no executive leadership when he took office. He has shown that he still does not have it. For all the hope and change he so eloquently inspired through his speeches... he pretty much has delivered none. And he has not even shown that it is turning in his favor, because now his back is against the wall and all he has done is go back to politics 101... smear, distort, attack.

Why should he have another 4 years? (assuming you disagree with the piece)
