you would think with how shitty our country is doing obama would have better things to do than go star in a movie. doesnt he have a country to run or something?

hahahahahaha

baited so hard

Typical liberal. Defend his party to the death while attacking the opposition on the way down. Weren't you the one last night that stated "Making minorities have I.D.'s to vote is a MONSTROSITY!" Why is it ok for your dems to pull the "race card" on that one, but when the VP says to a room full of black people "He goin' to put y'all back in chains!", it's deemed a perfectly fine statement and the Republicans are "trying to hard"?

You reek of hypocrisy.

Oh and Allen West is a black man. Nor was he speaking to a black crowd when he made those comments. Please keep things in context. Saying to a black crowd that a presidential nominee will "put y'all back in chains!" has a much different reaction than saying to a white crowd (from a black speaker) "his government policies will enslave you". Context and intent mean everything. Biden purposely tried to stir up the crowd against Romney by using racial terms.

Ah, the eternal delight of lost irony: "I'm going to call you names because the politician you like is calling my side names." Thanks for lightening up my morning.

How can you not see the irony in this sentence? You realize that very sentence is the essence of what the GOP has done for the last 4 years right? They've clearly demonstrated (and even said) that they care more about ousting Obama from the office than the well-being of the country (see the "debt ceiling" phenomenon in which the "debt ceiling" was only an issue after Obama took office).

You reek of hypocrisy. You're vying for a candidate that voted for the Bush tax cuts (increased the deficit by 1.7 trillion), voted to extend the bush era tax cuts (increased the deficit by 620 billion), voted for tarp (increased deficit by 224 billion), voted for military force in iraq (increased deficit by 853 billion), and voted for medicare part d (increased deficit by 180 billion) etc. when his very platform is "fiscal responsibility". Somehow the deficit is only now an issue when your party doesn't have the oval office; can you tell me why that is?

Defending your party to the death (when they've fucked up everything they're supposed to fix), while attacking the opposition on the way down? Check.
