Gawain 0 #1 May 9, 2010 Coming from a President who is so addicted to his BlackBerry (which is fine by me) that they had RIM ensure the "Presidential" berry be appropriately secure for the chief executive: Quote"With iPods and iPads and Xboxes and PlayStations, -- none of which I know how to work -- information becomes a distraction, a diversion, a form of entertainment, rather than a tool of empowerment, rather than the means of emancipation," Obama said. http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5hcoyG-Ck3-VwZB7fqpUFXbffoObg Give me a f**k**g break...Sir, the very means and activities which you are bemoaning are the very means by which you mobilized young students to get out and vote for your sorry ass in the first place. Edited to express true meaning, as the accusations of racism are without merit. At least he got this part right: Quote"What Jefferson recognized... that in the long run, their improbable experiment -- called America -- wouldn't work if its citizens were uninformed, if its citizens were apathetic, if its citizens checked out, and left democracy to those who didn't have the best interests of all the people at heart. "It could only work if each of us stayed informed and engaged, if we held our government accountable, if we fulfilled the obligations of citizenship." Damn right sir, and you're about to witness citizens fulfilling the obligations of their citizenship this coming November.So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

Gawain 0 #12 May 9, 2010 QuoteCalm down. I read the headline on Drudge and the AFP and thought WTF, then I read the actual article and thought to myself, ya know, what he's actually saying isn't unreasonable at all. The headlines are what are misleading. Not actually what he's saying. I am calm...that's why I said, "face in palm" not "this is an outrage!" For those that didn't read the article and instead chose to focus on my imprudent use of asterisks...(which I have edited, a losing proposition either way) Quote"You're coming of age in a 24/7 media environment that bombards us with all kinds of content and exposes us to all kinds of arguments, some of which don't always rank all that high on the truth meter," Obama said at Hampton University, Virginia. "With iPods and iPads and Xboxes and PlayStations, -- none of which I know how to work -- information becomes a distraction, a diversion, a form of entertainment, rather than a tool of empowerment, rather than the means of emancipation," Obama said. He bemoaned the fact that "some of the craziest claims can quickly claim traction," in the clamor of certain blogs and talk radio outlets. "All of this is not only putting new pressures on you, it is putting new pressures on our country and on our democracy." First, what he's pointing out is nothing new in terms of the net/information found online. Second, the President himself exacerbates the very issue he's complaining about - saying in a sense that people don't know how to use the information they have access to...instead seeing it all as a mere distraction. We know he's wrong about that because his own "misdirections" on issues like health-care, taxes, and Arizona are not working. Third, just the very nature of "none of which I know how to work"...it's simply laughable.So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

If you say, Give me a f**k**g break...Sir, the very means and activities which you are bemoaning are the very means by which you mobilized young students to get out and vote for your ***** *** in the first place. Now you've gone back to the OP and edited it OMG, now a revisionist. If you think you have ANY credibility here, you're wrong. If you're gonna make a racial reference, at least have the cokkies to stand by it. You edited it at 12:12, 55 mins after you posted it originally and 48 mins after Dorbie inquired, "black ass"? 24 mins after I made the same observation. See, you wouldn't have to veil the word, "sorry." WOW, just WOW, you really think we are too stupid to get it. Quote The only people that have made any racial comments are you. I've said nothing racial heritage. Oh, what have I said? By me interpreting: Give me a f**k**g break...Sir, the very means and activities which you are bemoaning are the very means by which you mobilized young students to get out and vote for your ***** *** in the first place. as 'black ass' as others did, that's an obvious interpretation. Even your cheerleaders think that was a bad idea. Quote Unlike our very President who sent out a video message to "all minorities" to mobilize. Which justifies your racial reference. I never didn't get it. Quote For the uninitiated: Folks, Lucky is a guy who thinks the Onion is a legitimate news source and believes wikipedia has accreditation as an unimpeachable source of information (though we all reference it at one point). Hey, if you're going to revise your OP, might as well revise everything else. I asked, "Is this legit" wondering what it's about. Whereas cheerleaders hwt thinks MSNCBS is a real news source. And airdvr thinks a person can be tried for murder before the victim dies. So bring your crap in, so will I. As for Wikipedia, I cite it as everyone else does, you even state so - the newbys you call must think you're even more hypocritical than ever. Quote He has accused me at least twice of not being what I am and now accuses me of racism where no overt, derogatory, racist comments can be attributed to me anywhere on this site (or anywhere on the net for that matter). I guess Dorbie is in the same boat as me, as well as anyone who has any common sense. Quote He does this while claiming to be a "one term" vet, with VA benefits which he cannot discern. I am a 1 term vet, thats; what they call it, a term, a hitch, etc. I don't hang at the VA, so true, I cannot tell what benefits I am entitled other than my VA loan for my house. Quote Every now and again he brings forth a reasonable argument, but often it drowned out by repeated references to "facists" or whatever nom de guerre he's on any given day. Still waiting for you to conjure 1 major federal tax cut that has led to all-around bliss, or a tax incr that has fucked things up. So much for your args .

Quote I am not without flaws (as many here would gladly attest), however I have gone to great strides to not invoke the gratuitous name calling...though others appear to jump at the opportunity.
