Republicans took the House. Obama is in denial.
 

American people showed who is the boss. Obama accused them of not understanding that his change is good for them. Does he really think we are so limited or this is just another of his sharades? In either situation he got 2 ugly years on his hands.

Careful here!
Not to engage the wrath of the ever present, "real facts" loving, big gove knowledgeable and socialism pushing neighbors.
May be it us! May be these experts do know better than us, Hah?
I never thought so!
Give me liberty or give me death. Rather get out of my way.
We are not building no stinking socialism. We don need a big daddy government.
Have a great day!(v)

Sounds like random collection of phrases. It could be an attmpt at irony but not clear which. *-)

Kimberley, this is not the first time Obama takes this stance. i've heard him say several times that the reason the country is against Obamacare is because they don't understand. I find it very insulting -- the suggestion that it can not possibly be anything wrong with his plan, we are all just too stupid to get it. I this attitude is one of the reasons Dems got their asses handed to them on Tuesday

К сожалению, американские люди сказать могут очень мало... Превращение демократии в олигарxию прогрессирует с довольно большой скоростью. Обе партии выставляют кандидатов, которые будут всего-навсего прикрывать мошейничество на государственном уровне.. Мы стоим на пороге серьезныx перемен, и совсем не к лучшему..... как в економическом плане, так и в политическом.

Corruption among politicians is nothing new and existed for thousands of years. US stated political system unlike political system in the former USSR is based on the system of "checks and balances". Certainly there are many politicians who are corrupt or would like to be, for exmple Charles Rangel, democrat from Harlem ( NYC). As powerful as he was, our system of "checks and balances" brought him down. So I do not necessarily share your pessimism. As far as tough times for America, who knows, while entire world is shaking off the dead weight of socialism, democratic party and Obama are trying to bring it here. I just hope he doesn't succeed.

NBC's(!!!) Savannah Guthrie asks President Obama: "Just following up on what Ben just talked about, you don't seem to be reflecting or second-guessing any of the policy decisions you've made, instead saying the message the voters were sending was about frustration with the economy or maybe even chalking it up to a failure on your part to communicate effectively. If you're not reflecting on your policy agenda, is it possible voters can conclude you're still not getting it?"

That's funny. Why didn't you also post the answer to that question? Oh, I'm getting it: it would spoil all the fun...

Sergey, it is not fun. It is sad. VERY SAD! When the president just DOESN"T GET IT!

Well, it is sad. But not because what you juts said. Rather because why you all is saying it. It reminds me this analogy: "Как из маминой из спальни, кривоногий и хромой, выбегает!" Funny, isn't it?

"IT" stands for people's disenchantment. He does not get the fact that IT exists. He fools himself into believing that people are brainwashed and don't understand his grandeur plans for this country.
Sergey, I wanted to say it before, in the different group. Decided to leave it alone. But it's time.
In order to have a normal, decent conversation it would be beneficial to consider your opponents to be a thought processing individuals, not mindless drones. For that reason, bunching people together by saying "you all" could be retired.
I consider almost anyone of my opponents from another side of the fence to be individual thinkers, and would appreciate to be considered one. When i have heard people saying that Bush is an idiot, I always thought that they were expressing their own conclusion, not Jon Stewart's.
I don't like president Obama as a president for my own reasons. I could, and will, list them one day. He is not a caricature monster, he is just a very confused, inexperienced, harmful president. Хотя "Умывальников начальник и мочалок командир" suits him too.

Oleg, you're thoroughly confused. Sorry if you find this word offensive. But you cannot preach "peace" here and attack me personally next door. But to your points:

1) My "you all" referred to several sequential instances or variations of "Obama doesn't get IT" statement, and not to express my condemnation of people with your radical-right point of view. Read posts more thoroughly next time please. If you don't understand something (which very well might be due to lack of my own eloquence) - please ask before issuing your condemnations. Otherwise, you can soon start reacting just like that column-propping guy.
2) I didn't call Bush an idiot (although I do think so indeed). You confused me for yourself or one of other of my opponents next door. I would also appreciate the courtesy of turning down your own (maybe not your personal) rhetoric toward our President. He is as much a person as he is the Office. So, I'm not taking it as respectful to me as a patriot. Besides, offensive rhetoric in general tends to degenerate tone of any conversation. And now it would be helpful to stop, and to check out earlier posts.
3) You misunderstood my reference to Khazanov's hokhmah. Actually it was the answer to the several posts here, to the torn from the context phrase of Savannah Guthrie, and to my own first comment. Just to make sure you understand it now - I recommended to go to the source, and to view, to listen to or read it in full. Then, perhaps, you will not feel as jolly (or as angry) where fun was not intended. Just like with the original piece from Chukovsky...

Sergei, the reason I posted the question alone, without the answer is because of its substance. The answer was, expectedly so, the usual long rant. What is interesting about that question is that the reporter, Savannah Guthrie, is such strong Obama's supporter, that she was "reportedly" suicidal when Obama's rating plunged back in summer. However,
if you do insist on the answer, I can post it here. Let me know, please.

And yet another uber-liberal reporter, this time Ben Feller, AP's White House Correspondent, ask Mr. Obama the following question:
"Are you willing to concede at all that what happened last night was not just an expression of frustration about the economy, but a fundamental rejection of your agenda?"
Again, the answer was long and expected. No revelations there. Bear in mind, that's the same Ben Feller of AP who tried to sugar-coat Obama's voting record at US Senate. The rats are jumping ship..

"Otherwise, you can soon start reacting just like that column-propping guy."

Column popping guy has a name. Please do not refer to me in the third person.

Alex, I don't need the Obama's answer - I heard it myself and in full. So, I'm not insisting on anything. There is no "substance" in the question alone: it was a question, not a statement. To see the "substance" you need both. So your comment being limited to the question only was intended to skew that substance. Now, you call the Obama's answer a "long rant", and I call it a substantive and thorough and reflective response to a sharp and unbiased question. So, if you want to be honest with yourself, you need to hear the full story, even if you don't like it. Even more so if you tell the story to others.
Also, I'm not sure where you got the "suicidal" thing, and I'm not sure about Guthrie's political tastes. But to me the Guthrie's question signifies reliability of the MS NBC as a source of information, that I certainly cannot say about my pitiful experience with the "Fair & Balanced". They are truly masters of half-truths!
I think I made my case. So the reference to Khazanov vs. Chukovsky still stands.

Column popping guy has a name. Please do not refer to me in the third person.
No, it's not you Alex. As long as you keep your cool and stay civilized with your arguments I will gladly speak with you and call you Alex. Otherwise any conversation will not have any value to me, just like was the case with that guy.

Well, it is sad. But not because what you juts said. Rather because why you all is saying it. It reminds me this analogy: "Как из маминой из спальни, кривоногий и хромой, выбегает!" Funny, isn't it?

Непонятно какое отношение умывальник в вашей логике имеет отночение к туости Обамы. Ваш сарказам неуместен. ПОтрудитесь уважать собеседников. И не плохо бы предоставлять факты вместо набора слов Михалкова.

"Вдруг из Белого из дома,
кривоногий и хромой,
выбегает сам Обама и качает головой:
".. Ах вы кляксы, ах вы ваксы, бы не поняли меня,
Я ж хочу поднайть лишь таксы, не бегите от меня.....!"

"IT" stands for people's disenchantment. He does not get the fact thatIT exists. He fools himself into believing that people are brainwashedand don't understand his grandeur plans for this country.
------------------------------------------------------------------
how do you know what he gets and doesn't get? furthermore, would you say that he gets "IT" less than his predecessors did? if so, can you provide concrete examples that would demonstrate them getting "IT"? finally, don't teenagers also frequently tell their parents that they don't get "IT", when in fact, they're the ones who don't understand?

my pitiful experience with the "Fair & Balanced".

Everybody is fair and balanced, but FOX is more fair and balanced than the others.... Everything depends on how much money you make, isn't it? (fr)
Are you a maker or are you a taker? (fr)
Fair and balanced are in the eyes of the beholder.

in addition to being self-contradictory, that post just doesn't make any sense.

"...To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. ...", how true. ;-)

Непонятно какое отношение умывальник в вашей логике имеет отночение к туости Обамы. Ваш сарказам неуместен. ПОтрудитесь уважать собеседников. И не плохо бы предоставлять факты вместо набора слов Михалкова. Понимаю. Собственные слабости часто объясняются недостатками или враждебностью других. Тем не менее, всему есть предел. Я объяснил уже дважды. На сей раз я только даю для сравнения ссылки на поучительный оригинал Чуковского и адаптированую для смеха версию Хазанова. Если будет непонятно и сейчас, то я сделал всё, что мог, и дальнейшие объяснения будут бесполезны.
