Political Cartoons

Looking back, it's painfully obvious. Very well done, haha.

Obama being wishy washy on LGBT support is nothing new, but even so: DADT down, DOMA down.

From:

Yes, but no thanks to Obama. One was a political inevitability he caved to; the other he actively tried to prevent.

From:

Yeah Obama was utterly wrong on that then too. I could pick quotes from Reagan that conservatives hate too, so what? If you think there's some rule that liberals can never be at odds with the person in the white house, I think you may be mistaking democrats for republicans.

The problem with Obama's, er, "evolution" on it was because it was so blatantly political. You can't even fault him for being wrong and coming around on it - when he was a state senator and needed to be on the far left on the issue (at the time), he was for it. When he needed to make a national name for himself, he was against it. When public polling shifted and he was in the minority on it, he was for it again.

It would be one thing if he was simply wrong. This is something else.

From:

you mean he acted like Mitt Romney?

From:

No, he acted like what people think Mitt Romney acted like.

From:

lolz!
a schill till the end.

From:

you mean he acted like Mitt Romney?

From:

No I can fault him for being wrong.

From:

As you should, but you should be doubly annoyed that he was wrong for purely political reasons as opposed to some sort of misguided-but-justifiable belief.

From:

No, because I'm not under some illusion that he's a perfect human being, he's just better than anything republicans have ever nominated. I know he's a politician. It says so on the package.

Sorry you couldn't invent unreal expectations.

Why? Obama is a politician. A politician's right and wrong is SUPPOSED to be based on political reasons. That's why they're politicians.

Why should anyone care, so long as the desired outcome is achieved in the end?

From:

All true, but this isn't what bothers me. I expect politicians to act that way.

What bothers me is that people don't see it. Five years later, they're still worshipping Tom Tomorrow's "Idea of Obama" (http://www.zcommunications.org/the-idea-of-obama-by-tom-tomorrow-by-michael-mcgehee). The Obama administration has taught me that Democrats are every bit as gullible and stupid as Republicans.

I thought those comments had a familiar ring, ha ha. But really I'm just commenting to say I WANT THIS ON A T-SHIRT, NOW.

From:

and every objection raised to you, would be raised if i was talking to Obama instead of you.

its not ad hominen.
its whatever the latin phrase for, 'against the idea' is

From:

I'm sure.

From:

he was as wrong as you are. Obama's lack of drive on that issue isn't any kind of secret. Liberals supported him in spite of it, rather than because of it.

From:

As wrong as I am? What do you think you know about my position?

From:

I wrote that before I knew that you were misrepresenting quotes from President Obama as your own words.

From:

That doesn't make any sense.

From:

certainly, it does. You were posting statements that you did not attribute to anyone other than yourself, thus implying that they were your opinions.

From:

And you obviously knew that when you compared them to my opinions. So again I ask... what do you think you know about my opinions?

From:

Except I didn't, because you were falsely representing yourself.

Edited Date: 2013-07-15 02:33 am (UTC)

From:

"he was as wrong as you are." You knew you were comparing two viewpoints. Don't play stupid.

From:

I refer you to my previous statement. If, perhaps, you hadn't been plagiarizing someone else's statements, people might not think you believed them.

Well, I think if progressive Americans had better options, they would chose them, as it is, everything else with a running chance was not only worse, but far worse.

From:

Romney and Obama were almost indistinguishable. And the better options had a running chance except that everyone's saying they didn't made it so.

Um..I'll take Obamacare any day compared to Romney's "Program".

From:

Excuse me... what? Obamacare is Romney's program! They're identical in almost every way.

Citation to the interview and quotes?

Well played, but I never agreed with Obama's position back then, did anyone?

From:

conservatives.

Well played, but I never agreed with Obama's position back then, did anyone?

More than half the nation at the time.

From:

Even today, very few people seem to know Obama's actual position. The blogosphere cheered his conveniently unverifiable statement that he personally supports gay marriage, but completely ignored the repeated emphasis of his belief that it's a states' rights issue. People even credit him for the Supreme Court's ruling on DOMA, when in fact he did everything in his power to prevent such a ruling from ever occurring. And then they tell us how he's so much better than Romney would have been...

From:

All my comments on this post were quotes from Obama's "I-support-gay-marriage-but-not-really" interview.

And? Are the liberals in this community not allowed to agree with their President or something?
A+ for trolling, though.
