Twitter - Obama shows the country each and every day that he's a complete idiot.
I guess for those who tweet this might be tweet.  A fad that will die as soon as they start charging for it.  Just seems like people who tweet ought to get a life and stop trying to follow other's as they live theirs.

Go Lakers!
Let me know when he goes to the bathroom.

Are you kidding?
This is news we can use? What going on today...technical problems?
Twitter is really dumb...its a toy for the narcisist who thinks everyone is interested in their banal every day goings ons.  
To J. Henderson

Your still living in the Bush era He was the village idiot or have you forgot. Oh that's right you republicans are slow, you'll catch up in a couple of years.

As we wind down another dynamic week here @ FR… I posed some questions to our moderators last week and Mark was kind enough to respond.

I decided that this week I would post some questions us ‘lefties’ can ponder over the weekend regarding some of the rabid right guests here…

Will Bad Chihuahua finally locate his ‘snausage’?

Will Tucker Bounds aka Fortunate Son come to grip with his identity crisis and move out of his mother’s basement?

Will NoJoNoBo actually think outside the box and read a poll other than Rasmussen?

Will Richard Washington, find a ‘redhead’ he can call his own? Not a chance…redheads detest narcissists!  

Will the doctors finally up J. Merle Stanley’s meds? And he’ll stop the incessant whining?

Will Roxy, CT like the taste of her own ‘cherry chap stick’? Not sure why she’s obsessed with my comfort & satisfaction… LOL

Will Pete in Salinas ever move his double wide from the wrong side of the tracks?

Will Big Al in Chicago truly understand that anyone who has to use the prefix BIG is just trying to compensate for lacking size in certain other areas?

Will Memphis_Fan, TX – Is that you there IntheMiddleMan ? Ahh.. never mind… nothing can be said for this sorry a@@ excuse!

Will B,LA ever be able to form a complete sentence with accurate spelling grammar & punctuation?

Will Dave, TN overcome his obsession with NY?  I understand that ‘cement ponds’ freak him out but get a grip there dude!

Will St. Eleutherius of Necrophelia consummate his deal with the devil?  Please to meet you… don’t forget my name!

Will Grimey Grimes continue to brag about a 32% approval rating?  Guess math wasn’t his strong suit!

My apologies if I’ve overlooked anyone here on the ‘wall of shame’ keep up the GOOD WORK!  At the rate you’re going the GEENOPEE will be obsolete prior to 2010!  Hell their already irrelevant & ‘so’ yesterday!

And again to the guys here at FR Chuck, Mark & Domenico – thanks for putting up with me and running the best site around!  Best therapy in town! LOL…


Ps: No… I didn’t forget…

David Gregory has got to go

You seem to have spent a lot of time on putting this together. You must not have a life.
<<Will Grimey Grimes continue to brag about a 32% approval rating?  Guess math wasn’t his strong suit!

Sorry, but this really made me laugh out loud.  (Seriously)  I have a PhD in math.  Anyway...not bragging about a 32% approval rating.  I said that according to the latest Gallup party identification poll, 32% identify as Republicans and 32% identify as Democrats.  Simply rebutting the claim that only 20% identify as Republicans.  

Thanks for giving me a good laugh though!!  ;-)  Have a good weekend!
Hey Cindy… thanks for the shout out!  Glad your back!  It’s nice sometimes to get away from the keyboard for a couple of days!  We’re more than happy to ‘hold down the fort’ while you were gone!  As you can see… we still haven’t been able to ‘fix the stupid’ though! They’re still lurking around in the shadows!  

To all the rest of my lefty buddies… Have a great weekend!

And to Anita:  Just how much FUN is it driving the blithering idiots to the edge?  I’m lovin it! It’s hilarious how they’re so easily intimidated by Strong Smart Women!  Keep up the Great Work!

Funny...as an independent I'm waiting on a conservative response!  
Dear Barack,

Now that you are the de facto president of General Motors, put me down for a 2010 Chevy Pelosi, it comes in two colors Kremlin Red or Black Panther. Delivery in 2013, prices not including taxes, title, taxes, delivery, taxes, dealer prep, taxes, UAW union dues, taxes, license, taxes, battery and carbon tax. See your Chevy dealer or IRS for details.

Thanks,

Pete Roleum
I am not into this twittering thing but for those who are it shows our President is up with technology and the lastest crazes.

Even if he twittered "I love neocons will all my heart and sould" the right would be making some stupid vitriolic comment so I am not surprised when I read some of the stuff written on this blog by all the Obama haters. Have a great weekend.
Feisty Redhead, enjoyed the comic relief.  I'm sure conservatives have some of their own to share.  Everyone of us deserves some fun added to political back and forth on serious matters.  It's a beautiful day here in Iowa along the Mississippi so I'm headed outside to enjoy the day and putter in the garden AFTER I mow the backyard.  I've enjoyed the week and although I'm not a big fan of twitter since I really don't care what someone is doing every minute but, twittering a day in the life of a president is amusing and should remind us that the president does normal stuff just like the rest of us.  Wonder if they're Jelly Belly beans or ordinary ones.  Thanks FR for another enjoyable political week.  Have a great weekend everyone.
CHUCK: Very suave look today!
I love how Pres. Obama really is what he says.
He's not a STUFF guy. No celeb worship; had a ratty single-guy apt. in DC; crappy cars; ditched the hot shot law firm for altruistic efforts. And, in this recession, NO big shot decorating in the OVAL or anywhere. I don't think there will be any OBAMA CHINA
unless we're 'in the money' big time in this country.
Has he made ANY changes in the OVAL other than the chair?
How about some real news >
North Korea warned Friday it would act in "self-defense" if provoked by the U.N. Security Council, which is considering tough sanctions over the communist country's nuclear test, and followed the threat with the test launch of another short-range missile from their east coast site.

It is the sixth short-range missile North Korea has test-fired since Monday's nuclear test.

North Korea is also showing signs of firing a short-range missile from its west coast.

Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said the situation was not a crisis and no additional U.S. troops would be sent to the region.

North Korea, meanwhile, warned it would retaliate if provoked. "If the U.N. Security Council makes a further provocation, it will be inevitable for us to take further self-defense measures," the North's Foreign Ministry said in a statement carried by the official Korean Central News Agency.

North Korea, whose 1.2-million strong military is one of the world's largest, says it is merely preparing to defend itself against what it says are plans by the United States to launch a pre-emptive strike to overthrow its communist government.

Meanwhile, talks at the U.N. Security Council over possible sanctions for the nuclear test were moving forward slowly.
Russia's U.N. ambassador said Thursday there was wide agreement among key world powers on what a new U.N. resolution should include, but said putting the elements together will take time because the issues are "complicated."
A list of proposals was sent Wednesday to the five permanent veto-wielding council members _ the United States, Russia, China, Britain and France _ and the two countries most closely affected by the nuclear test, Japan and South Korea.

< Now this is news that will generate some real discussion.
