Where have you been the last year. "I'm not a scientist, therefore I'm never going to pay attention to science" is all any of these republicans have said about climate change.

The middle class is worse off after a global financial crisis than it was directly before it.
PD.
Well, remember, Voter ID laws are in no way about disenfranchising Democratic voters.

There's a better quote about this, somewhere, but googlefu is failing me!
(Part of the problem of not caring about the intent of the law is that a continued misunderstanding on the reason the law exists in the first place and the people that it affects.)
I want to believe that so many prominent GOP faces make me want to punch them because they are genuinely punchable, and not just because I disagree with their politics.
This one is actually punchable. You're allowed.
He not only has a punchable face but a punchable personality. Who the fuck thinks it's a good idea to tell a joke about a guy who just lost a kid? I mean shit, how big a goddamn asshole do you have to be to think that's a good idea?

He looks like a goblin. I think it's the ears.
EDIT: The personality too, of course.

Still say he looks like a goblin.
He still has the personality of one too.
That's insulting to goblins.

Just because it won't pass the House doesn't mean this isn't something progressives should push for. The law wouldn't require states for follow specific rules, they would have wide latitude in how the election was conducted but one requirement would be at least 20 days of early voting.

There are these IMPEACH OBAMA people all over the place in Chicago. It first started when I used to go to work and this old fart walking around this stop light wearing a red impeach Obama t-shirt handing out flyers and other crap. I didn't give him no minding, just felt pity. Sometimes his friends would be there with him in the other direction. I'm working elsewhere now and I take highway to my new work location, and on my way back the traffic was jammed. I kept thinking wtf, there must be an accident or something. As we kept going, there was this huge gathering of people on a bridge (looking down on the interstate highway). At first I thought it was a marathon or something. As I got closer, people driving in front of me started flipping the bird. I looked up, and lo and behold its the impeach Obama people waving at us from above, wearing the same red shirt, holding big impeach Obama posters.
The traffic sped up as soon as we crossed the bridge, so I guess people were slowing down to look at these morons and give them the finger. I was doubly angry: first at the stupidity of these people and second for making my commute slower.

Hillary used to be a republican too.

This is semantics, and nothing more
Interjecting my prior comments into a discussion to which I am not a party, like the silhouette of a homeless man, is poor form.
at 21 in 1968. She's been one for all of her adult life except for up to 12 months.
I have no problem highlighting the absurdity of voter ID laws and their racial/partisan reasons for existing.
If you'd like me to edit, I can make a nice paragraph pointing out how that reminds me there are posters on this very board who are intellectually dishonest enough to believe these laws aren't enacted to disenfranchise Democratic voters. Otherwise. Eh.

Bush isn't going to make a splash. His numbers are horrible for a "front runner," moreso than Romney's at a similar time. And unlike Romney he's facing candidates who could actually be legit nominees for president. Bush isn't good on the stump and won't stand out in debates. Rubio will. So will Scott Walker.
Skirting the fuck outta those election laws

Without a doubt the worst presidential campaign logo ever made - or at least since presidential campaigns started giving a shit about graphic design (i.e., 2008).
I mean, GOOD GOD.

I want someone to photoshop a bell-end onto that logo. It's begging for this.Without a doubt the worst presidential campaign logo ever made - or at least since presidential campaigns started giving a shit about graphic design (i.e., 2008).

Even though Obama numbers are disheartening, I'm sort of glad that Hillary numbers are coming down. My biggest fear was that she was gonna get coakleyed. You have to respect the GOP clown car even if it does not respect you. Hopefully, this will make them slog and work hard for the readyforhillary campaign. Brass tacks, rubber meets the road etc.
And where is Obama? He is out of news for so long. I'm betting he put all his eggs in the Iran nuclear deal basket. He should be more involved in foreign policy. Dude's just riding it out. No wonder his rating is bad.

Bush's approval rating shouldn't be compared to Obama's approval rating both in 2015, it should be from an equivalent time in his presidency.
But oops, Obama's average hovers around 47% where Bush was at 32%. That doesn't fit the narrative!
Once Obama is out of office unless he's responsible for some major screw up in his last year and a half (which I know PD is still counting on happening much like Romney's hail-Mary in Ohio) I think he's going to see Clinton-esque approval ratings.

I remember seeing this on Twitter and my paraphrased response was "even with the most disingenuous comparison you could possibly make, you could only conjure a nonsignificant 3% difference? Damn, W was shit."

His fringe beliefs in a measurement system using base 10 are far too radical for the American political palate.

Why? I think he'll be remembered for disillusioning an entire generation with politics, and many will remain bitter that their circumstances didn't get better during his tenure (and in many/most cases got worse).
There won't be much of anything to fondly look back at, outside of Obama the person - which is better than Hillary or whoever will replace him.
...Things are worse than they were in January of 2009?

The ACA is ultimately going to be considered one of the most impactful pieces of legislation in the past half-century and will define Obama's legacy more than anything else.

No, but things sure are worse than 7.5 of Bush's years in office. Fewer jobs, less global stability. People are struggling. Especially the demographics that supported Obama the most.
Great. Glad we cleared that up.
Your concern trolling is reaching critical mass.
Bush got us so deep in the hole there was no way realistically Obama was going to fix everything in 8 years. Things are only worse(if you actually believe that) because the opposing party will not allow him to enact his agenda. Heck, they may not allow his successor(Hillary) to enact her agenda. Bush set us back a decade or more and I'll be hard press this country elects a third Bush PD.
It's a shame but Chuck Todd said it best "The takeaway from Obama that every incoming President should know legislatively is you got two years and that it"
Bush has consistently polled terrible against Clinton despite the real possibility of him being the nominee. Republicans need to take note. Walker will self bomb in a general election as untested he certainly is.

Again look at how much Bush's ratings have climbed since leaving office and all he's done is draw some terrible paintings. 8 years from now Obamacare will be seen as hugely successful, people will have forgotten ISIS, and Obama will be remembered as the countries first black President. He might now Clinton-level popular but Obama is going to do very well there.
If anything Obama has been an asset to the country whereby the Republicans will have almost no chance of winning atleast the Presidency for the foreseeable future. His campaigns were masterful. Yeah he presided over 2 disaster midterms but historically that has always been the case.

Oops.
Looks like Fuckabee's endorsement of the Duggars magically disappeared from his campaign website.
Something something drones, something something civilians, something something ISIS.

Yeah, bet his campaign was on that with the quickness after he probably helped get the initial report deleted.. which just made the reporters find another report that pretty much confirmed Jim Bob and Michelle would be in jail right now if not for statute of limitations.

Yeah if you just ignore the defining problems with George Bush's presidency Obama sure does suck by comparison
Worst president since Hoover.
Bad news for Kay Hagan!
