Apparently, if Obama is reelected, in two years the government will be drowning babies in bathtubs?

 
Good gawd ... was that an attempt at a serious Santorum ad or a spoof?

It still looks ****ing terrible.... And aboslutly ridiculous.
 
And if any Republican is elected we'll be a warmongering nation where everyone is broke and the top 0.5% get all the money. Oh yeah, and everyone dies too.

These partisan attacks come from both sides, sometimes even from the mouth of the president.
 
And the right-wing moves further and further away from positions of authority and responsibility in this country.
 
fear mongering is a proven effective tool.

I thought it was well done. But then I happen to have a special place in my heart for take no prisoners balls to the walls over the top attack ads.
 
From the title, I was pretty sure this was going to be about food stamps.

I was not offended and as usual some dp posters have little historical referencing abilities: Hooverville - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I know very well about the Hoovervilles: shanty towns named after Herbert Hoover. They are featured in Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath as well.

I'm glad you weren't offended; I was making fun of your username coupled with a comment that seemed way out there . . . and associatd the president with food stamps.

If Hoover could be associated with shantytowns, Obama can certainly be associated with food stamps without much of a stretch. Hoover could well have been a better president at another time. He was an accomplished man who succeeded at everything except his presidency, Obama on the other hand would be a failure at any time.

Btw, I find that jumping on my username is usually a feeble attempt in lieu of anything more effective. It has been done repeatedly and in that light I see it as a small but telling victory.
 
Did anyone notice that in just two years of his second term Obama managed to turn Obamaville 100% white?

Ah, so now you're offended . . . riiiight

Food stamps go back to 1939 anad the first depression. Herbert Hoover was a "business president" and his laize-faire economic policies, like those of Reagan and both Bush's, ran the US economy over a cliff: hense "Hoovervilles". So trying to associate president Barack Obama with food stamps is no more than partisan scraping the bottom of the barrel to try and acuse Obama of something that is bad for America: there's nothing there.

Anytime you'd like debate facts and history with me, just say so . . .

You're dead wrong up till now.

Obama wants to make white people poor.

I am about as offended as I am impressed with your net-search abilities and historical analysis. Had you known of the Hoovervilles you would certainly not have made you previous comment and your "centrist" historical analysis reflects the OWS luminaries' mantra. I can recognize disingenuous uninformed hacks quite readily, even had you not been that obvious. Engaging in political dialogue with the fore-mentioned invariably leads to idiotic exchanges. Thanks, but pass.

I retired at age 50 and have returned to school as a history major . . . My comment to you about associating Obama with food stamps was not only appropriate but necessary to flush out how much you really know about the subject, which at this point seems to be very little. Your comments are partisan rather than accurate. My comments; as a centrist, are more accurate than partisan becasue I have no paritsanship to support "no matter what".

"OWS mantra"; (chuckle)

If you can't hack; that's okay. If you want to debate fact, then let's go . . .

Yeah, I suppose as a student you haven't gotten to the depression and the Hoovervilles yet. As I said, I prefer to pre-empt idiotic exchanges and someone who denies that equating Obama to food stamps and blames Reagan and Bush for Obama's failures is a sure harbinger of just that. Study history then and get back to me when you think you're ready. I doubt I'll still be around by that time, but you never know.

Ciao

You do know that once you dare disagree with Republicanism, you aren't a centrist right? He's not one who believes in the center, only right and left, which also means right and wrong.

Reagan and the Bushes weren't nearly as laissez-faire as Herbert Hoover was. In fact, W's "laissez-faireness" was pretty much blown out of the water with the bailout.
