I almost find it funny in the clever wordplay. I've seen worse and more blantant stickers than that one.
Or just plain ones like "If Obama sucked any more than he already does, Chicago would be 500 miles closer to the District of Columbia". I've seen that one. There are others. Mostly on my father's truck. He abolutely detests Obama. Will not refer to him as President, and generally will not even say his name.

I seem to remember a stand up comedian (I want to say it was Chris Rock, but I don't remember for sure) back in 1992 saying that the first black President would always be moving on stage...to evade the snipers.
It has been 20 years since then. Obama is still alive and not dodging bullets (to our knowledge anyways). Maybe we grew up a little.

I've said it before and I'll continue to repeat it. Obama is probably a great father and husband, and seems like a amicable person. Nevertheless, most (though not all) of his policies are total crap in my opinion, and I have a big problem with his stewardship of this country. We are STILL in Afghanistan, and Iraq (with troops moved to Qatar and Kuwait), attacked Libya with no real cause, GITMO is still open, national debt is astronomical, defunding NASA was assinine, the expanding of the Patriot Act, allowing the TSA to run rough-shod over Americans, etc. ad nausium. To me, Obama looks like he is WAY over his head and is being manipulated by power brokers and big-money interests that are using him as a new marketing ploy to keep their corporatist agenda moving forward. Although, in all fairness I should state that I have no respect for the DailyKos or jackasses like Candy Randy. DailyKos is filled with hyperbole with regard to this "socialist=code for nigger" nonsense. While many people on the right clearly do not understand what socialism looks like, and are confounded by the term, they are not using it as cover for a racist epitaph. It also should be noted that many on the left misuse the term neo-confederate to describe individuals like Ron Paul, when the term has to do with restoration of the old Confederacy, not restoring/upholding the Federal Constitution the Southern States fought to secede from. DailyKos is the left-wing equivalent of Red-State. Both sites are propaganda mills. So I do agree with you Vexx, the racist nonsense needs to stop, however, let's take Jon Steward's advice on this (if we amplify everything, we hear nothing): There are real racists in our society, they've earned that title, so let's not detract from them by listening to those that label people who aren't racists with that status simply because they disagree with their politics.

Obama hasn't exactly thrilled me with the half-assed job he's been doing, but I'd rather the worst thing I have to worry about be whether or not the internet can shout down another SOPA.
He's not good, but the other options are downright horrible. And while Ron Paul has a few good ideas, most of his ideas are batshit insane. Quote:
To be honest though I don't download "unauthorized shared content" these days, unless you count things that are completely impossible to buy in America. Speaking of, if anyone knows where I can buy EastNewSound's physical albums I'd be absolutely thrilled. I love their work and would absolutely support them--if I could.

... ehh, can I post a topic that is PH-related?
Y'know, I've been fed already of the f***in' Corona Impeachment Trials... as I've voiced out on a certain thread on "General Anime Discussions" here in AniSuki (thank goodness Relentless haven't noticed that one): Quote:
Spoiler for Chief Justice Renato Corona:
... or, should I say: since former president (and now 2nd district Pampanga "Tong"-gressperson) Gloria Macapacat-Alimpuyo's (Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo) reign, I've already been desensitized by whatever scandals she's been involved... starting from the Fertilizer Fund Scam, ZTE broadband deal, to the Hello Garci Sex Scandal (omit the strikethrough), which delivered the heaviest blow to both her health and her credibility. But I'm not saying she's the one to be blamed... the person that should be blamed for all these s*it is... Spoiler for Wished HE should be the one who died, not his brother:
And now, the current president, Benigno Simeon "Noynoy" Aquino III, is missing in action... and is somewhat lazy about continuing the construction of what he calls "Matuwid na Daan" (the Straight Path) to his "BOSS" (the common masses) because his priority is weeding out those midnight appointees by CGMA; much to protest of many... who calls his system "NOYNOYING." When will true reform and democracy (claimed back by his mother) start? After I die? In a hundred years? a thousand? Sheesh... PS: this post is not an implication that I, Codename: Lenaisian, am not proud of being a Filipino. I am proud of my Filipino heritage, but I am not proud of where our country is heading to...

His aggressive, almost merciless, pursuit of gaining advantage through foreign policies is exactly what many leaders lack these days. Take for example the FTA with South Korea that's about to be signed. My sympathies to Korea, but hell, that's one dominating clause to force another nation to sign. I think a lot of Obama's progress and policies are blind to American eyes, yet apparent to those outside of US. Ironically. However, I do agree with you that JON STEWART IS AWESOME. As always. Yet even with my expectation of him being awesome, he always surprise me by being one every time I watch him speak.
