Obama!!!

In no particular order:

Beer Summit:

Yes it is silly, and that is why it kind of makes me wonder why it even happened. Tax dollars were spent making this happen, and I bet those dollars add up to quite a bit taking in all the costs, so if it is silly why waste money on it? Obama, by his own admission said a pretty "stupid" thing when he called them out (the police) for acting stupidly w/o having any knowledge of what actually happened. OTOH, I understand the reason for jumping the gun, it just should have not been done by the president. He, of all people, should get the facts before spouting off. To say that African Americans have not suffered prejudice from the police in many locations over the years would be a lie, and that I am sure, is why the charges were dropped against this man as they should have been. Take in mind that the arrest was not made because he was breaking into is own house, it was because he was disorderly. Did he have a right to be angry? Probably, was it because he was black? From what I have seen, no. So in closing on this topic: was it silly to have them have a beer get together (it obviously was not a summit)at the capitol? Yes it was silly, one of the many "silly" things the president has done, just add it to the list. Oh yeah, nice touch having Biden show up at the last minute.

How thought provoking. . . If only the rest of Obama's detractors put as much effort into their political arguments as they do in Photoshop, then we may well find the economic and energy solutions that have managed to evade us.

LMFAO.. whatever dude. I just found the pictures funny. If you have a complaint about their photoshopping (which I think is pretty fairly done), why dont you do some and display it on MoFo yourself.

I find it fascinating that someone would say they would NEVER agree with someone just because they are of a different political party.

That's the problem with this country today. Everyone has closed their minds to another's point of view.

I'm so angry right now I could spit. So incredibly angry at this country and the people here. (Not at you, 7thson, btw).

It's always been like that, you have the culture and the counter-culture, it's just more obvious today with the 24-hour news networks. Now you have some guy in a suit screaming about how the opposing side is "destroying the nation."

As far as being open to new ideas, well most Democrats weren't "open" with Bush policies, but rather tolerant; such as with the war and wire-tapping.

I will not agree with this. When Bush went into Afghanistan, Democrats thought it was the right thing to do. Having policy differences is not the same as shouting the other side down and knowing you will NEVER agree with anything they do because they are of the other party.

And screaming the other side is "destroying the nation" is quite frankly, destroying the nation. These loud mouths need to stop.

I find it so amusing that conservative pundits are now all worked up over the idea that Obama's reading our e-mails.

" talk go?

Here's a "free" thought. Why don't we dissolve all of the parties and start over? Maybe then all of you people will stop all the finger pointing and actually work together for a change.

Here's another: Doesn't it ever occur to any of you that this is what the real people in power want? Constant arguing and no real solutions to our problems.

Yes, that has occurred to me. And I have believed for years that that is exactly what the people in power want.

Look at the town hall meetings going on now. They are disintegrating into riots. Egged on by people like Beck and paid for by the health insurance companies. They are loving it. They've accomplished exactly what they want. They get to keep the status quo and more and more Americans will not have affordable health care.

Yep. No real solution to our problems.

And 7thson, I appreciated your post. I really wish we all could find a middle ground, but the people in power and their greed won't let that happen.

EDIT: Filmfreak, what are you referring to?
