I have not seen that interview, I will have to take a look.

Not sure if people saw this full interview:

I had not seen that, excellent interview.

Fox seemed downright proud to use the Super Bowl as a political platform. Their choice to read how the Declaration states it is the responsibility of citizens to overthrow their own government, coupled with the blame game by O'Reilly that only can loosely be called and interview, seemed like an awkward attempt to convince us that we should revolt now and not allow three more years of Obama, or something like that. Just seemed pretty strange.

Saw the interview. First time I saw someone NOT kissing Obama's ass in an interview. Good for you Bill :tu:

Most Portuguese journalists would have tied Obama in little knots

By 'blame game' you mean where Bill is trying to get Obama, for once, to take responsibility for his own failed policies? Obama went so far as to blame Fox News for the healthcare fiasco still being in the news, for people still wanting unanswered Benghazi queastions addressed, etc. Instead of using the opportunity to appear Presidential, Obama blamed his failures on Fox news, a company that does not make events, just reports on them.

Fortunately, liberals will only have to wince every time reality intrudes upon their fantasy land for three more years, then they can start all over with 8 years of Shrillary.

So they've elected a black guy for eight years, they get a wealthy woman elected for the next eight, in 2024 they will be looking for yet another voting block to pull in with a nominee, what's left maybe a handicapped hispanic transgender. With liberals actual experience never matters, it's all about the image, the brand, how events affect their political life rather than how events affect America.

Woohoo! Just overflowing with anger and hate today, huh?

Instead of ranting about Obama, calling Democrat politicians derogatory names, and absurdly conjecturing about possible future events, how about praising all the great things the Republicans have accomplished over the last five years?

Show me what the Republicans have done to put concerns for the well-being of America and Americans as their top priority. Give me something I can share with friends over a beer and pizza.

I already know McConnell's priority for his party: "The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president." And we all know how that turned out, so maybe you could start with #2.

It would really depend on who is eating pizza and drinking beer.

So what is the opposition party meant to do.... kiss the Presidents ass and agree with everything he does?

 

[RogueWriter]

Nah, I don't hate or get angry, I leave that to the fanatical left.

Since the Republicans have been out of power, and Obama does not negotiate, what exactly are you expecting Republicans to pass in congress? They have offered budget after budget, deficit reduction requests, debt reduction requests, heck they even suggested that Obama delay the October 1 opening of healthcare.gov but Obama knew better than they, he KNEW his pretty web site was ready for business. Oooops.

If you are looking for something to discuss with your buddies over pizza, perhaps you could take bets on how many years it is going to take to make healthcare.gov secure against hackers. Or maybe you could take bets on whether the democrats will -ever- pass a budget that does not increase the deficit. Or maybe you could take bets on how many women Bill Clinton has slept with that we will now have to hear about. Or perhaps you could compare notes as to how much their healthcare deductibles just went up. There are lots of things you could talk with your friends about - better order a lot of beer, and maybe even dessert.

But hate? Anger? I'll leave that to you, thanks.

Yes, liberals think that every time republicans get whacked on the butt with a fraternity board like a new pledge on campus, they are supposed to yell, "Thank you sir, may I have some more?!"

Well, they could think in terms other than "opposition" to start.

 

[RogueWriter]

Obama puts that on them; he does not negotiate.

Perfect example:
".......heck they even suggested that Obama delay the October 1 opening of healthcare.gov but Obama knew better than they, he KNEW his pretty web site was ready for business."

 

[verbster]

Yup, all them pot smokin' lefty weak-kneed, tree hugging, save the planet liberals out there are just full of hate and anger. You sure got that one right.

They have offered budget after budget, deficit reduction requests, debt reduction requests, heck they even suggested that Obama delay the October 1 opening of healthcare.gov but Obama knew better than they, he KNEW his pretty web site was ready for business. Oooops.

Owning the House of Representatives is being out of power, eh? They did somehow manage to set a new record for number of filibusters to block bills like the American Jobs Act.

Obama doesn’t negotiate? You mean like when the Republicans demanded concessions or threatened a national default. Same thing this month by the way: Repeal the “risk corridor” in the Affordable Health Care program, or we’ll let the country default. Now that’s negotiating. About “his” website, you’re right. I can’t believe he couldn’t code it himself, the slacker. Appears to be working fine now though, doesn’t it? Which is more important, then or now?

If you are looking for something to discuss with your buddies over pizza, perhaps you could take bets on how many years it is going to take to make healthcare.gov secure against hackers.

Back to scare-mongering about the future. And ready to blame Obama for it.

Or maybe you could take bets on whether the democrats will -ever- pass a budget that does not increase the deficit.

You do know the last Republican to have a balanced budget was Eisenhower, back in the Korean war era? Clinton had a surplus in 1999, 2000 and 2001.

Or maybe you could take bets on how many women Bill Clinton has slept with that we will now have to hear about. Or perhaps you could compare notes as to how much their healthcare deductibles just went up. There are lots of things you could talk with your friends about - better order a lot of beer, and maybe even dessert.

I ask what good things Republicans have done for America and Americans, and you somehow come up with betting on how many women Clinton has slept with? I can’t match that.

Mr George James Tsunis was nominated as US Ambassador to Norway. Doesn't Obama feel embarrassed to have chosen such an idiot, who probably is unable to point out Norway in a map? Well, maybe not, since Tsunis contributed with almost a million $ to the Obama campaign, so it's retribution time. No doubt about it, the US has the best democracy in the world.... that money can buy

Yes, it was a terrible choice. Too bad it happens with every president:

"Bush Picks Ameriquest Owner as Ambassador

On the same day that the White House announced that President Bush is nominating California billionaire Roland E. Arnall to be ambassador to the Netherlands, the company he controls said it would set aside $325 million for a possible settlement of allegations of predatory lending tactics.

Arnall's company, Ameriquest Mortgage Co., is being investigated by regulators in 30 states. A $325 million settlement would be one of the largest ever in a predatory lending case."

Yea... too bad. Makes you want to get and at the same time.

Going back to the Muslim employees being given the choice not to check out haram foods like bacon because of their religious beliefs, "Arizona's Legislature has passed a controversial bill that would allow business owners, as long as they assert their religious beliefs, to deny service to gay and lesbian customers."
