Leaders do this kind of shit (going to get burgers, cutting brush) to keep peoples focus away from policy. The media reports it because that's what people like. It's something they can relate to. Most people can speak with some knowledge about the evils of smoking or "french" mustard but they are in over their heads when it comes to policy. People like to discuss what they know, what's in there comfort zone, leaders know this and use it to great effect.It doesn't matter which side your on, everyday burger-gate fills the coverage it's a day that policy gets less review and opposition isn't built. Then as an added benefit you get to discredit your critics because they're talking about condiments on your sandwich. Meanwhile your critics have something that easy to sale the hate on. It's great entertainment value that plays well to the lowest common denominator among us, which is arguably the target audience of many talking heads.Everybody, including most of the public, gets what they want and substantive discussion gets corn-holed.

Obama is doing a very good job!

You should know thor, you make the same stupid arguments and bullshit statements each time you write a post on this board, over and over and over. Spread disinformation and hate based on an outdated principal that was only created to inspire fear and give those in power control over the masses.

I don't see that happening at all...but I do see some nut in the Whitehouse who thinks he's God's gift to humanity, though. Just like Hitler, Stalin and a host of others before him. It seems a smile and a cheeseburger is all it takes to get folks to bow down and worship you these days...at least for as long folks are willing to bury their heads in the sand with regards to history. No "outdated principle" required.

The outdated principal I referred to what GOD.As to the rest of the bullshit you wrote, Ill say it ONE MORE TIMEsit down, get out of the way, so that we can fix what your idealist george dubya fucking bush fucked up. We fix it, you fuck it up, its an endless cycle thats been repeated time and again.Democratic liberals make shit better, the countrys kicking ass, unemployment is down and then a republican cocksucker gets in and it all goes to hell and takes a democrat to fix it.and so history repeats again.sit down shut up, let us fix it, youll get to fuck it up again sometime down the future since people in the US do not seem to learn that the GOP is full of idiots and have yet to do a damned bit of good in the last century.

Doesn't matter what the "outdated principle" you refer to is. It's been shown time and again that it (God, in this case) is not required for people to seek power over others. The fact that folks like you elected Obama is proof positive.

Do you think that Obama would have been elected, or even nominated, if he was an atheist?

OK, I'll rephrase.Do you think that Obama would have been elected if he was an out in the open atheist, declaring it as openly and often as most other politicians mention their christianity?
-
maybe the reason they try to bring him down with "brilliant" arguments (like mustard and smells) that only the "genius american public" (like you) can see through is because it is an act. if i tell you that you should hate sugar because it is white, you will probably think i am retarded and go try some sugar. if i tell you obama is a bad man because he likes elite mustard (of all things) your super smart mind will realize this is a stupid reason to dislike his black ass.

You sound alot like someone that is 'still searching'.
-
Not really. SS was rude at times, I admit, but never posted such backwards retarded posts like this character.
-
wow. you really are an idiot.
-
all i was saying is that i wouldn't trust the media attentions. if that is idiotic, whatever. from what i have observed here (when not trolling) is a bunch of insecure morons that aren't even half as intelligent as they would like to believe.

Better than a backwards retard. :grin: -
nothing backwards about questioning what i hear and see on tv.

I'm not refering to your posts in this thread...
-
silence!

All your spouting off about Obama does is show me again and again that I made the right choice when I cast my vote for him.Anytime the right is scared and reaching and grasping at straws, its a good thing.moral fiber my fucking ass.
-
eh...you got what you deserved. You just don't see it yet. But don't worry...by the time you do, you'll probably have a little while left to invent some kind of spin to put on it. Kinda like when a guy falls of a horse and tells everyone he meant to do that.
-
and when Obama does more good than harm (as much as any politician ever can) and then there's no rapture and all, we'll still be your friends.
