New York Times: Obama has become “poisonous” to Democrats

NY Times: Obama has become “poisonous” to Democrats. From the comments: “I spoke to a Manhattan friend the other day – he’s the Gold Standard of Old School Leftism. He’s pig biting mad at ObamaCare. Not because it doesn’t go far enough, but because it’s destroying his ability to pay his bills. It’s dawned on him that ObamaCare means money for rent, Obamacare, food and not much else. Mind you, he repeatedly insisted he wasn’t becoming a Republican, but that he’s certainly not going to vote next election.” Hit ’em where it hurts, Barky.

  • I think that one of these days all these lefties will put 2 and 2 together and realize that there are some principles they are voting for. I'm not talking about the theoretical, ivory tower principles they say in every campaign, but rather the ones based in real life, dealing with real, sentient, self-determined, individual human beings (for that matter, in this process they may realize that all these "masses/the pulic/society they always babble about actually ARE real, sentient, self-determined, individual human beings). They will realize that what they are seeing is what will happen EVERY time, because the basic laws of human behavior can result in nothing else.

    Yeah, uh-huh.

    I also think that one day pigs will fly, and I will meet the tooth fairy and the Easter bunny.

  • He's got the Manure Touch, everything he comes in contact with turns into crap. The economy, health care, the Olympics, Libya, Egypt, Ukraine, green businesses, about every candidate he's shown up to endorse and then there's Michelle. Well, in her case it wasn't really a change.

  • Another effing genius from the Dumbocrat party! No matter how hard you wish, the rules of life still apply. There is nothing free. If someone is getting something for free, someone else is paying for it. In this case it's you, Einstein!
