Voight and Eastwood, republicans stranded in California, are pretty much reduced to conversing with each other.

Yeah, America hasn’t been the same since his presidency.

It’s been way better.

And the best part might just be all of the racist shitheels coming out in the open where I can see them. Trust me, racist shitheels, that aint a place you want to be.

I don’t get what the upcoming elections have to do with Pres. Obama.
Is Netanyahu running against Pres. Obama…?
Obama hates Isreal so much he wants to control it. He hates America so much he wants every person to have healthcare.
This is really bizarre to me.

It’s like these right wingers are so desperate with their ODS that they will do anything to tear Obama down, and in the process making themselves look trite and ridiculous.
But this ad that doesn’t seem to tout Netanyahu so much as it does trying to blast our president…

Could this be a bigger effort to undermine Obama with Jewish support?

Well, Tom Cotton, for one.

I don’t doubt his courage, but I’m not certain about his decency, his grip on reality, or his understanding of the Middle East. He lacks decency if his actions to encourage armed conflict over negotiated agreements in Iran were done to further his own career. He lacks a grip on reality if he thinks that military action to prevent nuclear weapons development in Iran, a country that is in negotiations about the matter, won’t create blowback and repercussions that could worsen Israel’s security for generations. He lacks understanding of the Middle East if he doesn’t realize that the biggest boost to Iranian interests in recent history was GW Bush’s invasion of Iraq.

I have deep feelings of dislike for this guy. He is a great actor and I love his character in Ray Donovan but what a douchebag.

There’s an old Chinese proverb that goes something like “when a person says they want to change the world, check to see how well they get along with their family.” I’d say that applies here!

His career took off when he played a whore in Midnight Cowboy; now, as his career nears the end, Voight lets us know he wasn’t role playing, but rather, is a whore for Bibi and the GOP.

From the brilliance of Coming Home…to this. What a fall.

Obama Doesn’t Love Israel

Someone’s going to have to help me out here. I seem to have missed the constitutional amendment where the oath the President is required to take was changed from what it used to be to:

“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. And that I will love, honor, and obey Israel till death do us part.”

Can someone explain to me why the President of the United States is supposed to love Israel, or the Vatican City, or Kiribati, or Uzbekistan, or any other of the 195 or so countries in the world? I’d really like to know.

“America has not been the same since Obama’s presidency.”

Exactly. America was headed straight for another Great Depression when this administration started due to the Bush housing collapse and nearly double digit unemployment. Now unemployment has fallen to 5.5%, the Dow is riding high and business is thriving… Including the industry in which you thrive.
