Bless your collective hearts for being able to watch this self absorbed Hamptons butt boy conduct this nothing burger of a show week after week.

Chris Hayes’ show has more thought provoking dialogue in one segment than Gregory’s does in a month. Just week after week of this side, that side, blah, blah, blah.

How many sets of undies do you think he went through trying to contain his glee at being the Beltway Belle of The Ball for his ‘searing’ interview with Biden re: gay marriage?

It is going to be tight all the way. As Carville said, anyone who thinks it’s in the bag is mistaken.

The polling for the popular vote will be tight all the way, but the electoral college is lopsided now, and failing a major gaffe by Obama, will remain so.

And let me make clear, this is more do to with Willard being a terrible candidate than anything Obama is doing.

Add to that a liar, a panderer, two-faced dog-abuser who has a Swiss bank account, likes to fire people, rape and pillage American companies for his own gain, and has an elevator for his many cars.

Other than that, how do you feel about him?

cops drive allot the fuel savings would help state and local budgets and provide more jobs for auto workers.

I like the concept, but I’ll bet the police would scream about performance, whether or not it was relevant.

But I’ve often thought about nat gas or electric cars for the rest of a municipalities’ fleet; why do the housing inspectors in the cities where I live & where I work tool around all day by themselves in a Crown Victoria?

What are they getting, 16 mpg at best?

If in your mind Obama is as bad/worse as Cheney/Bush, great. Have at it.

He’s not, in mine, for the reasons I’ve spelled out.

Whatever degree he IS better than Romney…

It seems we pretty much agree on many points, but reach vastly different conclusions.

And that’s OK, I’m not here to change people’s minds, just offer my own opinions on the topics of the day.

Oh please. 5 deferment Cheney & courage in the same sentence?

And just like Nancy Reagan and stem cell research, the GOP only gives a damn about the human condition when it happens under their roof.

Where was Darth waxing poetic about the plight of gays and LGBT issues before it became well known his daughter was gay?

I am content to stand by my statement. In my mind, there is a huge difference between needlessly starting a war and someone else not extracting us from it quickly enough.

When Cheney took office, there were no troops in Iraq; When Obama took office there were tens of thousands in a live combat zone. Additional deaths on his watch were inevitable; but no one had to die there if the war never began.

What also makes Cheney/Bush especially heinous is the money Darth make from those deaths via Halliburton & the ‘supposedly’ missing pallets of billions in cash that no one ever seemed interested in finding.

To your point, any death in any war is difficult to ‘justify’. When Obama entered office, 2 wars were already in progress. One has now ended.

To think he could’ve come into office in January and ordered the troops home in February just isn’t the real world.

I’m aware of everything you point out, and not thrilled with any of it, either.

I still come back to “has outdone “W” in his actions”.

He has not ‘outdone’ George W. Cheney’s eight years of deceit and ineptitude.

Keeping troops in Iraq cannot carry the same level of dishonor as lying them into Iraq in the first place (not to mention hiding the bodies from public view when they come home).

Now, if you want to register displeasure at how well he’s done cleaning up Dick W. Bush’s doo-doo, we can sing from that same hymnal all day long.

What did Bush/Cheney/Rove do that you think the Obama administration hasn’t done or wouldn’t consider?

The quote that I highlighted and responded to was “has outdone “W” in his actions”.

Now, my understanding of ‘has outdone’ means in 3 1/2 years he ‘has outdone’ more ghastly things than the Cheney cabal did in 8 years. For starters, I don’t see how leaving Iraq is remotely close to lying us into Iraq.

Maybe it’s just me.

Now, I quoted you telling me to refrain from mentioning her name, but you reply “Not up to me..”

Are you taking credit for the auto bailout after being against it, too?

And as for the tone here, it’s gonna take a lot more than you to run me off. Plenty of room to read Kos and hang out here as well.

he’s outdone “W” in his actions

That is simply ridiculous. While I share in progressive disappointment with the rest of your list, to say that he has outdone Bush and Cheney is nonsense. That was 8 years of non-stop political disaster of epic proportions coming from 3 offices; Cheney, Bush & Rove.

Good one, kinda reminds me of my grandson’s tot basketball class, too!

or better yet refrain from mentioning her name

Really? So I have to check with you first before I can ‘mention’ someone around here?

That would be because most here are busy playing “I hate Obama more than you do” versus discussing the points you raise in any sort of thoughtful manner.

Boy. Thoughtful, incisive comments without spewing hate at Obama.

What are you doing here?

Quickly! Run for the exits and get out while you still can!

Hillary Clinton is to the right of Obama.

Maybe you should re-read what I wrote. That was pretty much my point.

Do we really have to wait until 2016 to elect a progressive for president!?!

Unless you think of Hillary Clinton as a progressive, the wait will be longer than that, because I don’t doubt for a moment that she’s running.

Our best hope is at least there will be a primary to get progressive issues back on the table.

Her biggest problem will be how to (tactfully) shove Biden out of the way.

My MAIN Man! Almost was in position to take you up on that! A close friend (who’s birthday is Cinco De Mayo) just celebrated it in your fair city but my wife and I couldn’t make it.

And don’t think I didn’t see the “Grand Mariner French Toast” comment from you a while back! With Sarkozy gone, I guess it’s time!

Hope all is well with you and yours!

Very well put, and I’m glad you can now freely communicate with your significant other. Hope she stays safe and gets home soon!
