Your post says nothing.
But, you were owned, big time.
You seem to be fond of that word.
Is it a thing with you, this business of feeling that you have bested someone else on the internet?
I'm not a fan of the word, quite personally.
It carries with it a spirit of a negative connotation, 'owned' as in made a slave or subject of somebody else.
I certainly don't
feel owned.
Not by you or anyone else.
Let's explore this together;
Your pal visbec posted a variety of shiny charts depicting some recent economic up-turns.
The statistics behind those shiny charts may or may not necessarily reveal any particularly good news for your President, but in no time at all, there was a wholesale celebration of this awesome victory for your President anyway. "Thank you, Obama," etc.
I accused the OP of cherry-picking glad/happy news, and offered some darker economic facts regarding black unemployment (well, perhaps I could have clarified, young black male unemployment) being at an all time high, and also regarding an all time record number of Americans on federal assistance, food stamps, etc.
You and your pals reacted angrily, provided more shiny charts, and declared me owned.
Now, there are many things that this President can
rightly take credit for.
* Creating and fostering a climate of hatred and mistrust between black Americans and white Americans and cops in general - Check
* Reckless spending resulting in a doubling of the national debt, more debt accumulated by any single President in history - Check
* A cavalier history of going golfing and vacationing at the most inopportune times - Check
* Degrading the image and prestige of the United States worldwide, and constantly apologizing to other world leaders for the US's history of exceptionalism - Check
* Rushing a crooked and morally-bankrupt pair of Bills into Law that have steadily driven up health care costs in this country, and contributed to a staggering growth in government bureaucracy - Check
* Degrading the image and prestige of the Office of the US President simply by being a pathological liar and a self-absorbed hedonist - Check
Here are things that
no President should be knee-jerk given credit for, or criticism for, at any time in history:
* Seasonal rises and drops in per capita income
* Seasonal rises and drops in employment figures
* Daily and weekly rises and drops in the key economic indicators (Dow Jones Industrial, interest rates, stock market fluctuations, etc)
* Flooding in Louisiana and droughts in California
I don't know, friend beefheart who affects the avatar of Frank Zappa;
I'm just not feeling
owned, sir.
I'm just not feeling it.
