PEOPLE DO NOT HATE BARACK OBAMA YET: Because he has not yet stacked his entire staff with Clinton cronies and nationalized our auto industry, Barack Obama has yet to become America’s most detested President-elect. Give it a couple weeks. [Rasmussen Reports]

From that page: 43% of people think it’s a positive thing for a candidate to be called Reaganesque, only 19% think it’s a good thing to be called liberal.
What the hell? I’ll never forgive whoever decided that liberal was a dirty word. It’s such a positive idea, the word liberal is rooted in the word liberty, and yet the word’s been twisted and corrupted into the ultimate smear. Now, whenever the word comes up, I can just hear some smarmy fucker doing a voiceover for a republican attack ad calling someone “the MOOOST LIIBERAL member…”
people dont hate him because his true identity is hopey mcteflon. hate wont stick to him im am getting a little irritated though, its been a week and i havent gotten one check, abortion , pony or free healthcre system, WTF! he better start livin up to his promises or i will take my voting receipt and go exchange it for a vote that means real change

Can we reuse the ACORNS that we got in the mail from Bill Ayers’ bomb factory so that we can vote hundreds of times in Rasmussen polls? Let’s try to get Obama an unprecedented 5000% approval rating
mattbolt: The British, bless their hearts, have the correct definition of liberal.
Don’t hate him because he’s beautiful…
Are you trying to slip more polling into our daily lives. Back it off, you little tart.
People are judging him before he even starts his job?
Snark free for a minute. Why the fuck are there polls already. The man’s not even in office yet, much to our dissappointment, and they’re already fucking polling, what, about 1,000 assholes about what they think?
Ugh! I’m having a hopeurysm.
Hopey is sending Madeline Albright to the G20 Summit as his Envoy???? WTF?
mattbolt: Oh, don’t get your undies in a twist ya whiny liberal. If its Rasmussen, then you get survey questions like “Would you rather have a president who is a Strong Reaganesque Leader or a president who is a Tax and Spend Liberal?”
But you’re right about the definition of Liberal. That was some evil (Atwater?) genius that managed to turn it into a dirty word.
Bill? Hi, it’s me…you know, gotta talk quiet, there are a lot of little ears around here,, know what I mean?…Oh God yeah, it’s a terrible place to work now. I really miss not having you around, the cabinet meetings aren’t the same…lot of the you know whos here now…hey, I was hoping we could have lunch some time…yeah, get back to me.
Give him time to fuck things up, but he’s going to have to work really hard at it considering the other guy What’s-his-fucking-name did such an awesome job at fucking up.
President B.O. will save the automobile industry by introducing a new line of hybrid Hopemobiles which are run on arugula, hemp and the driver’s own sense of self-satisfaction. If Hitler can design the VW Beetle, what kind of totalitarian dictator would Obama be if he couldn’t even design a fine automobile worthy of these truck nutz?
Just wait til Larry Boy Summers gets a hold of Treasury. When he was overseeing Lithuania’s economy he managed to DOUBLE THE SUICIDE RATE. Better grab some guns and duct tape and head for the bunker, libtards!
mattbolt:ive written about this somewhere else or on here i cnat relaly remember. I ‘believe’ that the people who use that smear dont understand what the word means, or are using out of context. I ‘believe they are apply it as a unit of measure like “when i make a sammich i use a liberal amount of peanut butter.” or like on the KY box “Before buttsecks apply a liberal amount of lube to your crack”. The smearers are using it in this context Obama is the moooost liberal senator in that he will liberally spread your wealth, liberally give your ponies to the darks, liberally let the abortions fly out the door, liberally spread the free healthcare. Of course i being the most liberal inhabitant of my own head i see nothing wrong here.
ManchuCandidate: I hear when it’s down n’ dirty time in the White House, Laura always has to be on top. Yeah, apparently George is only used to fucking up
Any of these anti-liberal hate yokels mention that George Bush is the President of the United States, and will be for two more months. Got a beef? Take it up with the Dear Leader, who is responsible for it.
monty: But if Nader were elected, you’d have none of those things, and he’d take away all your Chinese, Mexican, Thai, etc. food, and all burgers and beers, and anything not on the Center for Science in the Public Interest’s approved food list. Which consists of two things: yogurt, and flaxseed. That’s not cuisine I can believe in.
mattbolt: perfect example is this reject from the great state of whatthefuckistan georgia

DangerousLiberal: id rather eat the pony
DangerousLiberal: But not Lebanese food- I’ve seen him at Skewers - and the waiter told me Nader eats there once a week. and Nader was definitely eating.
Just wait till he puts all our women (and half of our attractive men) in burkas, paints the White House black and taxes all of our plumbers into poverty. Let’s see how the people like him after we’re all waist deep in acorns.
At least if we nationalized the auto industry, we’d own their sorry asses. I think I’d prefer that to just throwing gobs of money at the people who decided to hire lobbyists to fend off mileage standards instead of building better, more fuel-efficient cars.
Let ‘em drown. I buy Japanese.
Hot off the presses, I just put down my copy of the morning’s Unicorn Dewdrop Zephyr and according to recent polls 143% of the 12.3% pre-abortive gay crowd in the Great Unicorn Palace are 23.5% more likely to respond favorably to 1.9% of all pre-questions administered by the evil anticorn, ACNOR, or his minion, Racemuzzlin’. I just don’t know how anticorn’s henchgal Palindrone will take this!
mattbolt: There are going to be a lot more people sitting in the garage, engine running, if we switch over to hempmobiles.
Slightly off topic, but ‘Jindal 2012′ mania is starting in Louisiana. There’s even some wishful thinking of a Jindal/Palin ticket. So I doubt Barry’s approval ratings will ever be very high here. He should’ve known that hope don’t float in La.
Servo: Yeah, that’s what I thought. Satisfied with his performance? He hasn’t even gotten on stage, yet.
I’m pretty sure there was email spam about a rainbow unicorn for a pledge at a certain level. STILL WAITING FOR MY RAINBOW UNICORN.
Also, we want our Golden Age and we want it now!
TGY: Would you settle for a Golden Shower instead? ’cause there’s a certain pol in NJ who can help you out with that one.
rollnstone: Who the fuck starts “manias” over thing four years in the future? It’s like if Super Bowl 46 merchandise were on sale.
rollnstone: He should’ve known that hope don’t float in La.
Unfortunately, neither do people. /Debby Downer
I for one welcome our new Clinton overlords.
mattbolt: Well, not to oversimplify, but the term liberal probably got twisted into an epithet about the time liberalism ran off the rails in an orgy of misguided identity politics and selective blindness about the very un-liberal human rights disaster that is communism. In other words, like everything else, it’s the boomers’ fault. Now that Hopey has given that brand of liberalism the bum’s rush, we can expect it to regain its true, honorable meaning.
The hate will begin around the time our new Commander in Chief has TRUCKNUTZ! installed on the Presidential limo. That’s because as of last night, through diligence, creativity, and that all-American refusal to give up, a band of Wonkette scalawags managed to change the image of TRUCKNUTZ! from GOP-pride logo to the latest Muslin acorn terrorist apocalyptic threat. So now the Repugs will have to find a new logo. Like maybe an undocumented lettuce picker being run over by a Hummer.
honore de ballsack: ‘When golden showers may come your way..’, which is a good reason to carry an umbrella at concerts.
Also, Barry would have to screw the pooch royally, yea possibly several pooches, to approach W’s 76% disapproval rating.
Servo: I think they’re all trying to pretend they’re not still stuck with the Other One. I saw him heh-heh-hehing in a video clip this a.m. Oh, to never see that sniggering, head-bobbing, overaged-frat-boy heh-heh-heh again …
Test post. My last comment here didn’t show up. I tried posting the same thing again and got a duplicate post message.
