I love that every GOP asshole who saw that, probably made the grumpy cat face in anger. I love this man! As I’ve said before, I am a heterosexual man, but I would cuddle with President Obama and watch the Notebook.

Great stuff! And now the GOPers like Fox will probably take a screen capture of Obama’s grump face and use it as a backdrop. Just as a local GOP-friendly TV station (same station invited George Allen to the retirement of one of their news anchors) used a horrible one of Clinton for their news story about the Benghazi hearings, just to make her look bad.

We often rely on fact and figures to try to make our arguments. We aim for the head, trying to come up with that one question, that one factoid, that will cause the right’s arguments to crumble like the house of cards we know them to be.

The right often aims for the heart - relying more on emotion - fear, mostly - to win their cases.

Thanks to President Obama, we have plenty of examples of how we can make our case by aiming not for the head, and not for the heart, but for the belly (as in laughter).

Remember the zings the President landed at the expense of the Donald at a Correspondents’ Dinner? I can only imagine what he’d say if Trump were to actually win the GOP nomination.

The Bear is loose, indeed.

…With “Night & Day” playing softly in the background! :joy:

What Obama is talking about needs to be the Dems overall strategy for 2016. They need to run on Morning In America, that now is the dawn of a new day where we will combat income inequality, stand up to big corporations and empower the middle class. They should run on Obama’s achievements and promise to keep the momentum going. It should be made crystal clear that voting for Republicans would be turning back the clock and would undo all that the president has done. Let Republicans run on doom and gloom, let them bellow and whine about Obamacare and marriage equality. Democrats need to run on optimism. They should tell the people that Obama got the car out of the ditch and back on the road to prosperity, but now it’s time to press the pedal to the metal and get moving.

Please let this come to pass. It’s a winner. We had it done to us, and it’s time to return the favor.

Fox:

George Bush looked out for America by taking the stock market down. He wanted equality for all. He gave all America a great buying opportunity in stock market. Obama, on other hand, simply looked out for rich and market doesnt come down at all.

We need to vote fro conservatives if we want equality. We will all have no money, but we will be equal.

The GOP wants to return to the ownership society of the antebellum South.
