What a golden age we live in. Maybe it doesn't look that way to you now, but looking back, you will see it. We love Obama, the person. Oh, maybe some of you only like him, but you've got to at least like him, the most likeable person who ever ambled onto the American political scene.
I mean, I know some of you hate him, personally, but you are a tiny group. Those who don't like Obama's policies and his methods still overwhelmingly like or love Obama the man.
You might not notice this pleasant feeling, but you will. Just as you don't notice physical comfort and mental peace, you will notice when it's gone. And the feeling of loving the President is about to become very obvious, because we are not going to love the new President.
But that's a good thing. We need our distance, so we can look critically at what is being done to us and to the world. We're going to feel bad — even those of us who vote for the winner — and we should. It will keep us alert.
I haven't had the feeling of hating the President since early 2001, when George W. Bush first took over. Unfortunately, I lost that hating feeling later that year. I'm getting ready to hate the new President, and I don't want a repeat of 2001. I don't want to have to lose that feeling of critical distance from the President of the United States, and I know exactly the kind of thing that could wreck it for me again.

Stick to the topic.
Or fuck off.
Blue Hillary Face has actually been requested by the hostess to leave if he couldn't come up with an intelligent comment.
So the way I see it, if he doesn't like my comments - comments that have nothing at all to do with his ridiculous busy body self, then he can stop reading them. And stick to flipping through the animated cartoon flip-book of naked selfies his momma sent him.
Stick to the topic, Insult-meister
Yeah, you really exude internal tranquility. Perhaps a better name for you would be Rage and Butthurt. You also seem to have forgotten the definition of consonants, of which your name actually has more, but your teeth are probably all chipped anyway from the all that grinding that your lack of internal conflicts has caused.
Blaming Bush for 9/11 is akin to blaming Husband Kimmell for Pearl Harbor, but nincompoops like to do it anyway. Maybe it's fun for them? As for the recession, if you don't know by now that the housing/mortgage/banking bubble was sown long before Bush's terms, there's no helping you. I can point to helpful videos of Bawney Fwank and other Democrats decrying the call for oversight of Fannie/Freddie and claiming that there was no mortgage crisis back in 2006, but you'd probably get confused by the ads and wonder why I sent you a video about the benefits of Tide soap or Nissan Altimas.
Also, IT specialist is not what I do. It's part of my job only due to the weakness of my company's IT department, but technically my job has nothing at all to do with IT. As for my life, as fervently as you would hope that my life is boring and dull, nothing could be further from the truth. But at least you cared enough to respond, though I worry you won't be around much longer to do so. Given all the projecting you do, I'm betting somewhere in your yurt there is a diagnosis sheet from your medicine man telling you to wean off the brat-suckling and swill-guzzling, because let's face it, you're not getting any younger and that heart wasn't too strong to begin with . . . .
LMAO. Temper temper, Oh Tranquil One.
Where does someone who was threatened with expulsion from a blog if he wrote one more unintelligent comment... where does a person like that get off bossing others around... Others who don't even have anything to say to him? Others who have every right to respond to trolls who are missing the point of his comments.
I know where a person like that gets off: From his Hillary-sized ego.
Your arguments (such as they are) seem to be weaker, when you don't quote from your Insult book.
Is tech support still lecturing me on the wonderful presidential leadership qualities of presiding over the greatest terrorist attack and mass casualties, the greatest crash since the depression and a transition at 22% approval?
Who cares?
It's official. Tech support thinks Bush is perfect. He can be held in no way responsible for anything that occurred during his reign. The country is wrong. Tech support knows.
And now Tech Support is bragging about his meditative, contemplative, harmonious mindset. Well, to be ok with a president who'd have him jumping from a burning tower along with 3,000+ others, I guess he has to be VERRRY forgiving.
Ok, I think I've had enough of Tech Support.
Is this your hobby?
You're not very good at it.
It's not a competition. It's just stating what I have to say.
You would realize this, if only anyone ever cared about what YOU had to say.
Which of course, they don't.
Ohh, the Butthurt is strong in this one. The tranquil mask didn't last long. Fear not, young aggravated one, your projection and misconceptions will only last as long as you persist in your sophistry and feigned intellectualism. Once you embrace your inner nincompoop, all will be well. The late, great, Garage Mahal knew this. He learned it playing kickball in middle school. While such feats of athleticism may be far beyond your own tepid heart's ability, you could always go chase Pokemon for a few hours to calm down.
But if your phone crashes, don't call me. I hate helping dummies with their computer problems unless I'm getting paid - otherwise, there are special books for folks like you.
Are you almost done, Kermit?
"@Althouse, if you like assholes that much why didn't you go to med school and become a proctologist."
I don't understand how Althouse can stand her commentariat, what a bunch of assholes.
Also, interesting that you would capitalize "Butthurt". Interesting. The phenomenon must be very important to you.
Well, I do appreciate your interest in my butt, Kermit. I realize that's basically how your kind convey flattery.
But I will have to leave it at that, and ask that you refrain. I really do have more competent neocons-in-recovery I'd rather converse with - if they're still around.
Which I would understand if they're not. It is already sneaking up upon midnight. And most of the non-bachelors-not-by-choice have other things to do. Sleep. Reading. A life. Whatever.
It's been real. Always good to watch a fresh young punk punching up every now and then.
Psst, your inferiority complex is showing. Too obvious, man - I don't know why I'd hoped for better, but I did.
I think that the nightwalkers are fun to provoke.
Especially the ones on puppy uppers,
less so the ones on doggie downers.
These last two for instance.
What're your actual drugs of choice?
A true leftist, filled with hate. You'll vote for her, Ann
I don't hate anyone. Despise, yes.
Evil is a word whose meaning has become too diluted to use here. Obama is wicked. His reign is marked by strife, deceit, corruption, war, ignorance, and tyranny. This "charming" liar is straight out of the Book of Revelations. Nostradamus probably saw him coming too...
Above each posting window is the OP's request to commenters, which includes:
"...don't make personal attacks on other commenters, bring some substance or humor to the conversation..."
A request (at least in this thread) that is being dishonored by the breach.
Point for David at 9:02
Hillary Clinton has made one great decision in her lifetime. That is her commitment to stay married to Bill no matter what. That decision is about to make her president.
And shame on her for feeling superior to Tammy Wynette!
Bill Clinton is a way, way, way better politician than Hillary Clinton. She thinks, and now has said, that half of Trump's supporters are "deplorable." I can't wait to put a number on that. I'm sure all those deplorable people will get to work on self-improvement so Hillary the Unindicted Felon will stop looking down on them. She has all the divisiveness of Barack Obama, and none of his soft skills.
You know how they said that only Nixon can go to China? Maybe only Hillary can speak for the humanity of the unborn child.
Anyway, she's smart. So maybe she will figure out that she's unloved and needs to be a squishy moderate like Nixon was. (That didn't save Nixon, of course!)
Big fight over the Supreme Court is brewing (I hope!)
Many, many Democrats are up for re-election in 2018. What that means is that Democrats are going to push Hillary to go hard left in her first two years. That also means she will nominate a hard-leftist for the Supreme Court. And by "hard leftist" I mean a baby-killing asshole who hates the free speech clause, the equal protection clause, and every other constitutional provision for that matter.
Her twin goals for the Supreme Court are to uphold Roe v. Wade and overturn Citizens United. Republicans should prep for this battle and fight hard.
A "person" is a live human being! A baby is a person!
We have an absolute right to speak out against the president, any time and anywhere!
Akhil Amar would be an excellent selection to replace Scalia. I don't know if you could get him confirmed! But he would make a fantastic liberal on the Supreme Court. He's another Hugo Black.
And if Squishy Hillary wants to appoint a woman to the Supreme Court, I have a suggestion from the Scalia Law School. In fact I think Republicans should say wonderful things about Justice Scalia and urge the president-elect to find Scalia's replacement from the Scalia law school. That would be a great way to break any logjams, in my opinion.
I don't know why the hell I am helping out Hillary Clinton. Just in a good mood, I guess.
He has played golf 320 times in 8 years. Let that sink in.
I think that's normal for golfers.
Golf's a great game for political leaders, in my opinion. Teaches you patience and discipline.
Nixon was a football guy.
Hillary Clinton is not a golfer.
"Rhythm and Balls" is confused by a definition of the word purchase.
That is sad.
I think Obama Derangement Syndrome applies to the folks who purportedly like or love the man.
He always struck me as shallow and self-centered. Not genuine at all. He's done nothing to convince me otherwise. But I never got very worked up over it. Just mildly disappointed or embarrassed.
