Obama: I'm the President of the United States; I Don't Need to Borrow a Computer

He seems like a pretty fun guy, too bad he's shackled by the Republican (Regressive Party) held House of Representatives.

All this, March madness, a nice [Taxpayer Funded] Vacation in Rio while the world Burns.

He seems like a pretty fun guy too bad he's shackled by the bankrupt-the-US ideology (Democratic philosophy.)

Breaking News the 2nd most powerful man in the world uses a computer.
Obama is probably a more laid back president then the past, but then again he isnt an old geezer like most

+1 - icemunk..

to everyone:
let's keep this about the article itself and not go deeply into personal feelings or political views..

Maybe if he would have brought his little war before congress like he was supposed to, time would have been taken to realize that the "rebels" are really Al Qaeda.

This guy has no sense of reality. 2012 couldn't come soon enough.

Too bad this country has been ruined beyond repair by the guy before him. it will take decades to get us where we were before "Bush" times.

agreed...

And aren't you the one that just said "let's keep this about the article itself and not go deeply into personal feelings or political views..."

Funny how two-faced people can be on teh interwebz.

On topic - it's good the pres is not a technophobe.

Oh come on, that was a funny moment. I didn't vote for the guy, but it was funny. Laugh a little.

that's what this is about..
nice.

Before this whole Libyan thing, I just saw Obama as the dem in the typical dem vs rep crap. Now, he needs to step down. What did Libya do to the US to even provoke this? This is the most impeachable offense. At least both of the Bushes did what they were supposed to when it came to congress.

A three sentence "article". It must just be a couple words too big for a twitter post.

Too bad he keeps extending a lot of the things that Bush did?

Anyways, that video is pretty funny.

To bad this country has been ruined beyond repair by a partisan two party system that is corrupt and frequently sells out to the highest bidder (oh wait I meant to say lobbyist)

TY cknobman!

Doesn't matter which party a politician belongs to these days - they are all beholden to those whose money got them elected, and their "sponsors'" interests are the ones they look out for. We live in a plutokleptocracy - government by wealth and theft...

the truth has been spoken (refers to last two posts)

on the topic of obama's escapade with libya, it's not too much different from the vietnam and/or korean conflict (can't remember which off the top of my head) where the president sent troops over without the support of congress, and where war was never officially declared.

really though he didn't NEED to attack libya; he could have just asked Israel to do it and they would've done it without a second thought

agreed...

If you think he's fun, just imagine if Palin gets the presidency in 2012. Gun toting, soccer mom's represent!

Oh you guys are so funny. Like this president is any different than Bush. Spend spend spend spend spend. Pass laws that reduce our freedoms. Get into a war that has absolutely nothing to do with us (other than the fact it is yet another country that produces oil). Yeah, Bush really hindered Obama. The reality is nothing has changed since our last president, but most of the country will ignore this, still defend their party and vote in a big ticket guy. We'll never get out of this hole.

nevermind that Bush 2 lied about all the reasons to go there. Everything they said on the lead up was false. they've been reduced to saying "getting rid of saddam was still a good thing even if we lied to get the ok to do it from congress.

It's funny how 99.999% of intelligent people can see right through Republican BS.

What's that say about the general population when they elect GWB twice?

you said it, "intelligent people", problem is everyone isn't intelligent. Apparent 30% of the people are idiots. 40% are uninformed, and 30% are high lever critical thinkers who spent too much time making sure they have the right info.

the fight is over the 40% in the middle. The idiots vs. the intelligent people fight a media war to draw the middle towards them. If we had real news coverage the left would win easily. why? well facts have a well known liberal bias.

What did Libya do to the US? Well, for starters their insane ruler shot down a civilian plane that killed many American's, he has promoted terrorism openly, has put out hits on both American's and his own people, etc. The international and Arab communities asked the US to help...regarding Bush and WMD's...he only had to dupe the Congress with a lie to suck us into a war. Not to mention that he dropped the ball when it came to hunting down Bin Ladin in Afghanistan.

and lobbying is legal and a corporation is a legal person.
I think this country is far more liberal than a lot of polls show. When you take politics out of it and focus on policy content in a poll, the majority goes with the liberal policies every time. it's when you throw in social issues and taxes that things change.

so if you ask: do you believe that people should have a safety net retirement program like social security in old age? most say yes.

but if you ask: would you be willing to pay higher taxes to ensure that the elderly don't end their life in poor health and poverty? they it gets negative and a lot of people say no.

still the same issue, just how you phrase it. and politicians and political organizations spend millions trying to get their messaging out right. it isn't about what is best for everyone. it's about what is best for their own interests.

I hate being called an "idiot" when Republicans can't fathom anything other than their redneck-ish point-of-views. An educated person would see both sides. They call themselves Christians, but go very far from the teachings of (probably black and very Jewish) Jesus who taught us to forgive, love and take care of each other. Using the Bible only when it benefits you is also a sin.
I think if you look at the education level of registered Republicans versus Democrats you would see the skew. The GOP is uneducated people being used by "The Man" again. Is this much different than the dictators they speak out against? Being called dumb by a Republican is like being called a swindler by B. Madoff

It shows that 99.999% of "intelligent" people such as yourself *think* they are smart. Has nothing to do with intelligent/not-so-intelligent people and everything to do with morals and beliefs and which you support. Whether you think people who choose to believe Republican BS or Democratic BS doesn't make them smart... especially when in the long run it's still just BS.

"I don't need to borrow a computer" ... "I'll just take yours" Hehe.
How can i befriend this guy in Facebook so i can request a green card or HB1 visa?

Maybe he can use the processing power of his computer to compute the number of dead civilians in Afghanistan!
