One Year Ago Today

obama's pulling the lever for mittens, again

the village idiots and obama fluffers are thrilled with the president's political capitulation to the assholes and creepy boy-lovers like the inexcusable closet-case tim dolan.  they're all wet and sticky because obama appeared to both defend his health care plan as well as kiss the ring of the backward-ass catholic men like e.j. dionne and mark shields and tim kaine who pretended to be oh so offended by this nonsense.  once again, this was a political failure that obama created for himself.  instead of making the argument that women and women's health are not matters of religious opinion in a country where there is a separation of church and state and then bringing out the vast majority of catholic women and other religious women who put the health of women and the freedom of choice ahead of the bullshit spewed out by a bunch of hypocrite pedophiles to make the case and voice the administration's principled stand in order to not let the debate be defined by the boy fuckers and the patrician village idiot assholes like chris matthews, he soothed the egos of the bad guys and made sure that the old men knew who was boss.  they were.  as a matter of law, as a matter of principle and as a matter of equal rights for women, the original birth control rule was the proper one; no compromise was necessary.  he had the support of women, and the nation in general; the only ones who had a problem were the catholic leadership and a bunch of asshole republicans, none of whom were voting for obama anyway.  and anyone who believes that obama had a big plan to outwit the republican leadership and presidential candidates in order to make them look like extremist whackjobs on birth control and shit clearly just got here from neptune, because this president hasn't outwitted anyone except his most ardent supporters in three and a half years.
once again, obama struck a compromise with the evil and the stupid when none was necessary.  when obama's supporters make the argument that obama deserves reelection because the alternative is so much worse, this birth control failure is just another proof that the argument is not a strong one.  obama has not been a good president who might have been great as armando at dailykos would have you believe.  as he's shown over and over, he's a political failure who was elected in the hope he'd be a strong leader in times of enormous national distress.  his supreme court picks have been mediocre at best; the need for a strong, intelligent legal intellects on the court was not met by obama's choices.  his health insurance reform was too little, too late when the nation needed radical change; obama squandered his mandate because he had no intention of being a transformational leader.  when obama acts as the servant of the oligarchy and abandons the ideals he supposedly supported as a senator or as a candidate, he's doing nothing more than pulling the lever for mittens.  certainly his only argument for reelection is that a republican would be so much worse, but if you've been on the planet since 2008 and have had your eyes open, you can only ask how?  health care?  women's rights?  freedom?  peace?  economics?  how could mittens be so much worse?  mittens can be bush's fourth term if he wants, as obama has essentially been the third.  the pool, the pond.  the pond would be good for you. 


virag's movie reviews: cowboys and aliens (2011)

cowboys and aliens might have been the best movie ever made--or at least marginally entertaining--had the film been made with the cast of deadwood and an r rating, along with music by kitchens of distinction.  however, it wasn't, and it didn't, so it sucked.  as it turns out that jon favreau is an awful filmmaker.  go figure.
