Re: The AIG bonuses

honestly, who cares if Obama uses a teleprompter or if he tatoos all that shit on the inside of his eyelids? I care a lot more about what he does and what the results of that are. The only thing I can tell at this point is that he's still a lot better than Bush.

Re: The AIG bonuses

[quote=chloe harris;725370]you reap what you sow.[/quote]

you have bought into Obama who could be the best used car salesman I have ever seen or heard. Listen hunny he isn't going to come in and wave a magic wand being the US back to what it was. He is integrating a big plan of a world merger where the US will basically take orders fron the Union consisting of Canada-Mexico-US who are joined at the hip to the European Union. Facism is on your plate and most of you have already eaten it up. Others (the smart ones) are being real patriots by always questioning your government. Also your government isn't actually the government anymore it is the bankers as you can see by the bank robbery going on in the US(a blind man can see that). How many trillion are out the door as of today??

Also human rights issues - what did Obama's right hand woman say about human rights when she went to China. "But our pressing on those issues can't interfere on the global economic crisis, the global climate change crisis and the security crisis," Clinton told reporters in Seoul just before leaving for Beijing." The human rights issue is everything because they have slaves over there and the US is now trying to compete with slaves. DAH!!! Idiots on here. Good luck on your cometetion with slaves you know the only way is dropping wages (to nothing) to compete with no benefits no life and no American dream. Obama scares the shit out of me with this kind of talk about Human rights. What was even scarier was how this was kind of talk was thrown under the rug so we can stil cry and be happy about our new Christ Obama.

You are nothing more than a brain washed little girl who rooted for the underdog (the black guy) because you are weakminded. Believe me you are about to reap what you so with all this debt the US is accumulating.

PS We all know that Bush was a horrible president why do you compare Obama to Bush?? We get it he was bad. But why settle for "oh he is better than Bush" Is that what it has come to, to compare Bush the worst to Obama?

Re: The AIG bonuses

oookay, back on topic: When was the last time you saw so many members of Congress so upset over $165 Million in spending? Are these not the same people who a few weeks ago said that the FEW BILLIONS OF DOLLARS of earmark spending in the Omnibus Spending Bill was "an insignificant amount of money?" How long has Barney Frank been on the House Financial Services Comm? Chris Dodd on the Senate Banking Comm? And they DON'T know about contractually obligated bonus payouts?? Why didn't they catch Franklin Raines as he was manipulating Fannie Mae stock and walking away with $100 MILLION? I just wonder what the hell they have been doing in Congress all these years... Also, NY Fed Chair Tim Geithner (and Treas Sec. Tim Geithner) has been involved in ALL FOUR AIG bailouts. If this guy is soooooo smart that we ABSOLUTELY had to have him at Treasury, shouldn't he be smart enough to at least ASK about compensation?? Congress is just trying to play all of us for fools. They are telling us to be upset at $160 MILLION in bonuses while they just signed a bill with 9000 earmarks amounting to over $8 BILLION and the sad part is, people are buying this...

Re: The AIG bonuses

Here's my summary of the salient points behind just about every one of runningman's posts on this forum:

1. I'm so great, I'm always so right, I'm such a visionary, I'm a genius, etc.

2. All of you are stupid/idiots/retarded/Nazis/fascists/weak-minded/doomed to die a horrible death/etc. (did I miss any??)

Gosh. It's really shocking that you're not more popular around here.

Re: The AIG bonuses

Imo Obama has made more positive moves for the USA already than Bush did in all his time in office . I think in some ways he can't win - if using prompts means his message comes across as he wants it to then that has to be the way to go. If he did it all off the cuff and started to mess up or pause too much he'd get caned for it i'm sure. Though he wouldn't be in bush's league who was pure comedy at times and had trouble putting a word together never mind a sentence. If every second of what you're saying is analysed by the whole world then i think you may as well get it right - most of the time at least (just don't mention the special olympics) :DumbAss:

i'm actually a dj and a producer who rooted for hilary clinton. luckily for me i can spell and i can handle grammar. unlike you. :lol:

Re: The AIG bonuses

was the "brainwashed little girl" comment aimed at chloe running man? i thought at first it was something to do with the link you put up which i couldn't be arsed to click. you're out of order talking to people like that on here imo and if you were any sort of man you'd apologise

Re: The AIG bonuses

runningman, what with all the insults being thrown lately? In all your time here I have never noticed you to be so bitter, whats the score?

Re: The AIG bonuses

Hey runningman. Go fuck yourself.

Re: The AIG bonuses

^^^^ +1 very succinct

here's an idea, try having an intelligent conversation instead of starting threads and then insulting anyone that opposes your "opinion"

Re: The AIG bonuses

Oh I get it I can't defend myself... I should just take it eh guys. You were even joking that it was a bash runningman thread part 18... It is funny that you guys say I am bitter and insult people who don't agree. I don't at all. All I do is respond to personal attacks. I have my opinion and all I do is get bashed because most on here are Radical Democrats. Honeslty I trash talked Bush and now I am pointing out Obama's flaws and all you guys can do is attack me on a personal level.

Do any of you have anything to say about how Obama is towards Human rights??? No it is you fuckers who can't have the conversation. None of you pointed out anything in my post other than feeling bad for Chloe and sticking up for her. This politics section has gone to shit over the last six months. Everyone is in love with Obama and it is boring. Get over it!!

Chloe said I reap what I sow. I responded to her attack. And you little groupies sweep in to protect the cult. You guys on here are weird and obviously not open to conversation unless it is puppy dogs and ice cream and how the sky is blue and how Obama is going to fix everything.

[B]MJ[/B] I am so bitter because(Troll comment, IMO comment) I post something towards one person who attacked me and I get the groupies. The politics section has died here becasue it is full of a bunch of "yes men" towards Obama. Look at my post and see if any of the posts after even talk about the points I brought up or if they are just attacks at me personally. Nobody can have a conversation about Obama unless we are saying how great he is. I find it incredibly lame.

It really has nothing to do with Obama. It has to do with YOU.

You've probably looked in a mirror recently, right? A mirror shows back to you exactly what you put before it. Well, people are like a mirror to your words and deeds. If you treat them with respect, they will generally treat you with respect. If you treat them like crap, they will generally treat you like crap, too. And that's all that is happening here.

By now, you've conditioned everyone to your style of discourse, which involves an extremely negativistic attitude, a pretty big ego, and a predictable history of being quick to call people retard, idiot, etc. whenever they don't agree with you. And that's the real issue here: you seem to be unable to distinguish between a disagreement of opinion and personal insults. When we interact with you, it's just always a soul-crushingly negative experience which usually ends when you call us retarded or something to that effect. We've all seen it and/or experienced it. Who wants to deal with that?

And so now people are banding together against you and are becoming quick to throw back [I]what they've learned to expect from you[/I] - perhaps even before you've done so in a particular debate. I think this is what Chloe meant when she said "you reap what you sow." I'm not going to condone everyone's comments to you, but I will say that she is right; you've brought it on and you shouldn't be surprised by the way things are.

If you improved your attitude and taught people to expect something better from you (maybe a NICE and positive comment once in a while?), then I bet their attitudes toward you would change with time. On the other hand, if you keep doing what you've been doing, then don't be surprised when most every negative comment you make ends up being thrown back at you.

Take a long, hard look in the mirror and consider what you want it to reflect. The choice is really yours.

Re: The AIG bonuses

^Miro you are a class act for taking the high road (in addition to patiently trying to educate)

One would assume that someone politically astute like yourself RM would know better than to respond the way you did to Chloe Harris. You finally cast day for nights label in stone imo.

so how do you feel that Obama is not for human rights??

Re: The AIG bonuses

maybe he feels different to you - and therefore wrong!!

shall we leave it at that?

Re: The AIG bonuses

[QUOTE=runningman;725750]so how do you feel that Obama is not for human rights??[/QUOTE]

How do you feel about perpetuating the same bullsh*t the media uses to make sales?

Re: The AIG bonuses

@Runningman ...a couple of things

1.) the attack on chloe was wrong...just because you think you know better doesn't mean that there is no room for discussion. I know its difficult not rash out sometimes but you got to keep the brain to mouth filter on sometimes :)

2.)obama is the same old bullshit i.e. not much different than the rest

3.)human rights issue I am not sure what you are referring to? The China talks? I think you are just reading too much into it. The US economy is fucked so they have to overlook an issue not as essential for the survival of the state i.e. economy over foreign policy human rights promotion. There is a bigger likelihood of interstate war between the US and China than there is of an equalization of human rights laws occurring. The US public wouldn't put up with that shit.

peace

Re: The AIG bonuses
