This was a classy move. So was phoning that "slut" from Georgetown and apologizing for Rush Limbaugh, even though he didn't have to. Obama is an intelligent, articulate man, with a lovely wife he evidently genuinely loves and a couple of impressive children. However, and you knew this was coming, "swooning" over this, his adorable "terrorist fist bump," or his beer summit, instead of holding him accountable for his continuation and expansion of the worst aspects of the Bush administration is no different than Repugnantcunts voting for Bush or some other ignoramus because he seems like "one of us," a "regular guy," who is "folksy," and "someone you'ld like to have a beer with." The real problem is that most, if not all, of the alternatives are so very, very much worse. Maybe I would swoon if my reproductive freedoms and marital status weren't at risk. I try my damnedest to empathize and advocate for the disenfranchised and, you fucking know what? People in countries occupied by the US military and contractors are disenfranchised. People who are targeted for drone assassination without due process are disenfranchised. People who are arrested and held indefinitely with no charges or trials are disenfranchised. People who are victimized by domestic surveillance are disenfranchised. People who have their earnings confiscated from them to line the pockets of politicians and corporate goons are disenfranchised. Obama needs to be held accountable for torture, extraordinary rendition, warrantless wiretaps, corporate bailouts, unauthorized invasions, ongoing wars, drone assassinations, etc. etc. etc. Yes, he's a suave, charming motherfucker. Maybe he even means well. He is not doing the right things though, even if you think the bullshit health care bill and the repeal of DODT are good things that he can take credit for. I enjoyed this glimpse of his humanity. If this is all he's got though, maybe he should save some of it for when he is signing bills and executive orders, and wiping his ass on the Constitution.

@2 wat?

Honestly, he was thanking everyone indiscriminately. I love me some Obama, but I think he just recognized he was being signed to, not what the words being signed to him were.

"...when the rest of the world is busy swooning."

Swooning..? Or huddled over their children praying that the drone's flying overhead or the special forces team won't massacre their whole family during the night.

Paul, your disconnect from reality is troubling. How did you get into politics, but sucking off Democrats professionally? Obama is a mass-murder.

@2/5 u mad bro?

@5: One person cannot constitute a mass-murder.

yeah u mad
