Is he some kind of damn messiah for getting his suit wet?
11:15 a.m.
Must be a miserable life to live in such a negative environment as you do...it's simply a picture...GO OBAMA!!! Come on haters, bring it on...just embarrass yourselves AGAIN...it's quite entertaining!
So easy to push the buttons of hate...
Lovin my President - He ROCKS!
I talked to the Crew Chief who worked the flight that day. The goverment put him threw the ringer.
if he were the messiah his suit would still be DRY. ;)
He's all wet anyway.
Just shows a little class and unlike the upper “republican” crust he won’t melt, sink or float away.
He still looks like a jackass, even wet.
Nothing about Obama shows class....just a wet liar.
Geez, I hope he does not catch cold. Really...I do.
See, now Bush would have observed from 20,000 feet, safe and dry in the comfort of Air Force One.
He'll be alright cuz Shiate floats.
Troops in Afghanistan get uniforms dirty and risk their lives in an attempt to assure there are no additional 9/11 type attacks against U.S. civilians.
The POTUS getting his suit wet on 9/11 is the least he can do considering what tens of thousands of U.S. troops are doing for their fellow Americans.
Actually, he looks good. He is the President of the United States and I like him !!!
"Damn Messiah"...isn't that an oxy-moron? Where's wordkyle when you need him?
Why are they all black people in the photo?
Who was the Crew Chief 11:35? He would have been Dulles based.
Obama just wants us to celebrate this "Day of Service," clearly how 9/11 should be remembered. If only we had been more understanding of one another, done more for each other, the World Trade Center would still be standing. I just never understood until today, until Obama made it clear. Does anybody know the words to "Kumbaya?"
When I was just a little kid my stepfather ever now and then would ask, do you know why black people are black and I'd always say no and he'd say,cuz God left'em in the oven too long and I'd always laugh.
Those were the good ole days.
11:34, if it was the Crew Chief I'm thinking of, the Government would not have put him thru the ringer. He would not have given them the satisfaction. The morning CC who worked those flights was an ex Vietnam pointman who took no shit.
I repeat
You Lie!!
I can tell I'll be having to turn OFF the TV tonight just like I did 10 years ago when all the drivel just kept coming. I was sick of the coverage after the first 24 hours, and the sh** keeps coming, year after year! My TV got more rest that week than it's ever had! Got a lot of reading done, though.
Technically, walking on wet concrete equates walking on water.
Is it somehow supposed to be "touching" that he is getting wet? Seriously, what an arse!
"Damn Messiah"...oxy-moron...don't you mean obammy-moron?
12:19 and 12:48
I will give you his first name. Lowell and yes he was Dulles based.
Said that the government came and got him out of bed because he had done the "Staff Manning" for the flight. Guess he was filling in for the other control C/C who had called in sick.
Actually he said there was only one government agent that treated him with great disrespect.
I love you Mr. President!
It really is of no consequence that suit is wet. Hell it's empty anyway
OBAMA!!! OBAMA!!! Keep on driving these Republicans crazy by acting gracious, unrattled, civilized, human, eloquent, intelligent, and being such a great President of the United States of America...Lovin it...
I went to beauty school back in the day and learned to work with African American hair. That stuff takes to water like duck feathers.
If he is so wonderful, why is the country going down the tubes at light-speed? Well, at least when we crash on the bottom, we will all have Uncle Obammy to thank for the government backed health care we may and may not receive in the end. The pain of our wounds will keep our minds off of the overwhelming burden of debt that we all are responsible for at his hand. Thanks a lot, Unk!
Hey, 1:04
Nobody is forcing you to give a damn, and it was eight years ago. Obviously, 'rithmatic was not one of the three R's for you
Everyone knows that an Oxy-Moron is acne cream for retards.
Even if this President would walk on water, the haters would still call it fake (Chris Angel or sumpin').
It appears to me that the country is doing a least a little bit better than we were 9 months ago. If the Republican party were in charge, there's a good possibility there would be the same degree of recovery at this point. The power of the American people to overcome all obstacles, including our own government, is the key to our success as a country.
No matter your political leanings, we all want what's best for the country. Please don't let your bias prevent you from recognizing the facts. In this age of information, look deeper than the surface before you pass judgement.
We're all doomed.
11:25 you guy's are embarrassing the heck out of yourselves with Pelosi,Reid,the Czars, not to mention a few others and don't even know it. We don't have to bring anything, it's funny enough watching you idiots. You people couldn't admit the truth if it knocked you on your arse and said "hey, here I am". Talk about pathetic! What's even funnier is most enjoyed trashing DISD for not showing his stupid little speach in school, let's see, about 95% of the school districts in the United States felt the same way, so is DISD/Wise County the fanatic,right wing, Obama, Hate'n, Repubs or are you guy's morons for not recognizing it? And, let's don't even get started on the approval rating. Holy Crap you people amaze me. Oh yea, I have three words to leave you with, "Three More Years", enjoy it while you can!! HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa!!!
His Office doesn't even have the logistic expertise to get the man an umbrella, and they want to provide us health care!
3:35
All I can say is if all of you haters' votes mattered, Obama would not be our President today.
So apparently in three more years, your vote won't matter again. Yall were OUTvoted! Get it? Majority rules..this country is run by a democracy...the majority of the voters spoke and low and behold it was louder than you!
Whatcha gonna do when the State of Texas turns blue? It will happen. The younger generation is so much more open minded than any of you haters. They are the present and upcoming voters and they spoke loud and clear last November. In fact, they declared Obama president at 10:00 p.m. on the same day of the election. Let's see Bush was declared and then "undeclared". It wasn't as easy for him. Wonder why?
3:56, Go watch the ACORN tapes and tell me how you like that!! Don't say it's fake those ladies were fired today and that's just the start. So keep on voting like your voting and you'll keep on getting what your getting, your tax dollars right down the crapper, wasted money that could go to true needs, you people say your for, but you'll sit back, ignore this kind of crap and the people who truly need it go with out. And concerning your intellectual thought on the vote, have you seen the numbers of the people who admitted voting for the guy and now admit they made a mistake? And besides, we don't need armed,black panthers standing outside a polling place when people want to vote but apparently you guy's are O.K. with that. I will now go home, watch the golf channel, drink a cold beer, enjoy my weekend laughing at the absurdity of the Obama White House, and scratch yet another day off the calendar that he is in office. Now,you have a good day and have a marvelous weekend planting trees and worrying about climate change since we've experienced the 34th coolest summer on record. Also, while your at it, read about your new Czar who has published papers on how an animal should be able to sue his owner in Court. Yep, makes sense to me and good luck with all that.
Right on 3:56.
Is he some kind of damn messiah for getting his suit wet?
No, no bitter gun nuts here...
Obama just wants us to celebrate this "Day of Service," clearly how 9/11 should be remembered.
Service is clearly un-American. Real Americans post silly comments on blogs bitching about our "messiah" President.
4:15 - I GUESS you told me, huh? Whatever, find something else to be bitter about.
As far the ?polls? you discuss, OMG, which blogs were the polls placed upon? You'll see.
Have you read the stories about small business owners? They are starting to see small profits this month and last month instead of nothing. How did that happen? It certainly wasn't because of the "BUSH POLICIES". Hell, we didn't even know what his policies were. He never talked about them. I guess your next choice on the red ticket will be Cheney/Palin...GOOD LUCK! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA...laughing all the way to the polls.
You'd better drink lots of cold beer and watch lots of golf, because that will be all you enjoy for the next SEVEN years.
A search is on for a communist umbrella czar.
Acorn=Obamama....Obamama=Acorn! Scary stuff. How many of you people will even admit to even voting for him. I have seen many cars where they tried to take off their Obamama stickers. I didn't vote for him! What a disgrace
Not really even a full 8 months
and the hate goes on and on and on
Are there any Republicans out there who can say ' enough with hate guys.' Mc Cain did.
356 - So your -- and I assume you speak for many other Liberals, since you got a "right on" -- position is that 45.7% of Americans "don't matter." Extrapolating, that counts for about 139 million people who, according to your philosophy, don't matter. I guess your worst nightmare would be if they all got fed up with Democrats and mobilized, huh? No wonder Liberals' voices are starting to get kind of shrill.
I'm with you 11:15. He has done more positive things in less than 9 months than Dumbya did in 8 years.
Xanax - "Un-American?" Is that what you have to offer? You're starting to peter out.
Other slogans Obama considered that barely lost out to "day of service":
"Forgive and forget" day
"No harm, no foul" day
"Air travel is still statistically the safest mode of transportation" day
"Take my healthcare plan, please" day
"72 virgins sounds pretty good to me" day
All about as appropriate for the occasion as the eventual winner.
I really respect Obama for conveniently using Kennedy's death to further his own agenda (extreme sarcasm)! The man has no class! But I do respect the Presidential office, just not da man!
It is a sad day, indeed, when Americans truly do not realize America is slowly slipping away. It is sad when Americans applaud a leader who pulls the very foundation of their freedoms out from under them, yet they don't feel it enough to understand their stability is compromised. What will Americans do when this country is communist, socialist and the government demands our everyday lives? How will Americans ever get their democracy back? Their freedoms back?
It is a darkness settling in on America (no pun intended) and soon a civil war will break open. I fear all is lost.
6:12....In only your 8 short months, your president has spent more money than all the presidents from FDR up to George W. combined. 80 years.....8 months.....I'd have to say he's doing one hell of a bang-up job up there. If you don't have a clue how to do what you promised the public you could to get into office, just throw money at it and that is a sure fix.I'm afraid that he is coming up short on promise,know how, qualifications for his office and, in the end,I'm afraid short on money also. Oh well, we'll just pile on some more taxes on everything and that will surely fix it. The revolutionary war started because the original colonies didn't want to turn over 20 days a year worth of earnings to the British in taxes.The average American works many times more than that for the government now. How much is the breaking point going to be? Makes me wonder what the feds would do if about 50% of the tax payers just didn't send in any more money? Who would fund the welfare checks then? That's when the people who voted him into office will start turning on him!
8:57
HATE is what you do best!!!!!
I am gonna have to call out Wordkyle, mzchif, Silicone and all the other conservatives, nuts, or general right-wing zealots who chose to fill our hearts with love for all mankind today.
Please go find a new affiliation. You give our team a bad reputation.
You have proven to this Proud (formerly?) Conservative that on 9/11, a day for simple, somber rememberance of a sad day, that you cannot see past petty jingoism.
Wow. Pathetic.
3:35
Your fiures are wrong. 90% of the schools that did not show the speech were in counties that voted McCain, not 90% of schools.
Obama and his wet suit? BFD
Amazing that a wife beating is basically what got Obama on the road to the presidency.
Why get in our face about our votes not mattering three years from now it that is what you really think. Anyone who really thinks Texas is turning blue spent too much time being trained to be an activists. Those who thinks the Obama administration and czars are doing a great job wouldn't stoop to in your face "it is our way or the highway because we won. But wasn't that the tone of Obama's speech the other night! So much for working together. Now what did he say about that in his campaign.
Obama "you lie".
5:40 PM
You are most definitely NOT A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER or you would know what you're talking about... 0bama & Congress are killing the small business owners... i.e. profit
DC
0bama is using another crisis to promote the socialist agenda... National Day of Service... It's not about government serving the people any more, it's people serving the government.
Do you see American wealth going overseas? America the broke and destitute... keep on spending dear government, become a debtor nation.
I believe it was "Dumbya's" policies that gave tax credits to the business who sent their work overseas...maybe you need to recheck your information 9:46...the people should be serving their government...that's what America is all about..One Nation Under God...except for Wise COunty!
shut up Honcho.
Mike - I couldn't agree with you more about what the day should have been. I don't see how it being a "day of service" comes into the picture at all, except because Obama said so. Sorry if my calling him out on that offended you.
11:17 AM
You know very little about tax credits...
Your statement "the people should be serving their government... that's what America is all about.." says everything about your communistic ideals.
Keep up your good government work, I hope 0bama gives you a raise.
Like I've said before...disagree with a leftist and get either the hate word or the race word. That's called a logical fallacy. Sadly, I have observed both side using these fallacies.
KMA 11:59am
and Workkyle, I don't give a rat's behind hearing people justify bad behaviour because the "other side" did something first, worse, etc. If you understood what the day SHOULD have been, then you would have understood that for one day you could skip with the diatribe about the evils of Democrats, Our Elected President, (you know, OUR FELLOW AMERICANS).
Color me one conservative who is SICK TO DEATH of the hate and rhetoric on our side of the ailse.
Mr. Mike Honcho is ready for a new, inspriring voice for the conservatives.
You mean there is no hate or race being used in regard to President Obama?
See that's how the black man get's your attention off the fact 9/11 was all his idea!
And you just sit there and take it and are like,"Oh, thank you Mr. Black Man for saving us from ourselves and those mean old bad Reblicans. Whah whah whah..."
What's wrong with you Wise County?
HUCKABEE!!! HUCKABEE!!! Keep on driving these Commies crazy by acting gracious, unrattled, civilized, human, eloquent, intelligent, and being such a great President of the United States of America...Lovin it...
Fun times......Wordy and Honcho going after it.
Honcho makes good sense.
Wordy worships Republicans no matter how low they go.
how soon this country forgets what happened on that day muslim extreemist used planes as rockets to kill americans and on nov 8 americans who forgot elected one to the oval office. god help us all with a terrorist in control of america
Mike - Again, sorry if you're offended. I was also offended, by Obama's twisting a "day of rememberance" into something else, something that he wanted it to be. Some people, like yourself, either weren't offended or chose not to speak out. Good for you. We both oppose "hate," and I guess what's considered rhetoric depends on your point of view, doesn't it?
Just a few points:
1. Wordy again can't do logical math: not all 305M Americans vote (you know you must be 18, registered and actually cast a ballot) and while the majority chooses the President, of course the losing side are still Americans and their interests should still be considered.
2. Have you noticed Obama actually gets out among the people unlike Bush who mainly spoke with military audiences or selective Republican audiences?
3. The statement that we all want the country to do well is questionable as the Limpballs idiots seem to want Obama AND the country to fail so they can pick up the pieces.
4. Obama using a "crisis" is laughable. These crises are the result of 8 years of Bush mismanagement!
5. I believe we DO owe service to our country AND we should expect efficient service from our government.
1015 - My math skills are fine. I simply used the presidential voting percentages as representative of the population as a whole. But I'm sure you knew that. And thank you for the civics lesson (although you are factually incorrect about part of it. See if you can figure it out.)
The rest is just the usual Liberal silliness. What I have noticed is that Obama says one thing when he's behind closed doors with a friendly audience, and something different when speaking to the public at large. What's that called? I'm thinking Batman villain.
Well now, Wordklye, we can call it what it is with the evil Democrats - "politics" as usual.
Thank God Republicans do not play games with the American people.
Just don't bend over if one is in the room.
empty suit or wet suit? I am sure that his cronies told him that it would make a great photo opp. to get out in the rain and act like he gives a shit.
603 - Whoa there, hoss. In a supposedly closed meeting with supporters, Obama says he is in favor of the public option and foresees phasing out employer-provided insurance...and then to the broader American public says just the opposite. (All caught on video, by the way.) Feel free to provide an example of a Republican doing something similar. "Politics as usual?" For Obama it is, for sure.
It seems conservative Mr. Mike Honcho does not let talk radio make his decisions, or his opinions, for him.
"Mr. Mike Honcho is ready for a new, inspriring voice for the conservatives."
He is here among us playing bass, being civil, strong, honest, smart and reasonable and is better known as Mr. Mike Huckabee.
Thank God.
tuninetin, the same God that made Obammy Prez?
