President Obama Meets with Progressive Bloggers

This changes everything. I guess I will vote for the mafia banker Gianoulias.

Gotta coordinate the message.
I take some comfort in knowing that conservative bloggers are not so easily swayed into becoming tools of the GOP.

Talk about trolling the absolute bottom of the barrel …

FYI… Oliver Willis may have his own site, but he is a Media Matters / Soros lackey and a hack.

So those are the people at the front of the bus, eh?

This confirms and proves that the above mentioned liberal blogs are nothing more than propaganda tools for the White House. Anything they write about should be suspect from this point on.

The site looks weird today. Anything to do with lefty bloggers? lol. I guess the journoListers are putting the band back together…

Hey they look just like the offensive line of the Buffalo Bills

Hey August West, I got not dime but I got some time to hear your story

Americablog is Far-Left; DailyKos even more so and Oliver Willis is a paid George Soros attack dog with discredited MediaMatters.

On a daily basis Obama has been blasting Republicans for obstructing emergency legislation that is required for economic recovery. But now we have proof that Obama is a genius: what better way to prepare for the lame duck session in congress than to meet with bloggers and leave the country on a ‘hard working’ mission to India?
Clearly, by focusing on foreign policy and progressive bloggers Obama is reaching out to conservatives in anticipation of Republican ‘domination’ and ‘obstruction’ in the lame duck session of congress.

So he has time to meet with liberal bloggers, but will only give the Governor of TX 26 seconds on a tarmac, and refuse to personally accept his letter. The man has no shame.

Please vote for me, give me 2 more years, I don’t remember voting for the healthcare bill, I don’t remember voting for the stimulus.
I am not responsible for not allowing the military to vote..I think they should have given me more than 7 months to mail out those ballots
If you vote for me, there may be a Starbucks gift card in it for you…and, please be advised I don’t know why those machines keep putting a check mark by my name…really… We have “special” technicans that take care of those machines
So PLEASE vote for me.. I am honest ..uh well I will leave it there

I am sure these bloggers will extol the appreciciation senior citizens have for Obama as they pay for increases in Medicare advantage. They are also greatful to Obama for our basic food costs have increasing by an incredible 48% over the last year (measured by wheat, corn, oats, and canola prices). All of America is appreciative to this administration for the increase price at the pump , energy costs are up 23% on average (heating oil, gasoline, natural gas). A little protein at dinner is now 39% higher (beef and pork), and your morning cup of coffee with a little sugar has risen by 36% since last October

We need a Senate that will take a stand against this President. Just consider the President’s appointment of Ms. Warren to head the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) which represents an end-run around the Senate confirmation process and the Constitution. A position with as much power as the head of the CFPB should be fully accountable to the citizens of the United States, and such accountability would normally begin with a Senate confirmation process as a critical check on the President’s powers.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is one of the most powerful bureaucracies ever created in American history, with the ability to regulate almost every conceivable consumer credit and financial transaction and with a budget nearly free from congressional oversight. This is but another step by the President showing that he does things his way and the Constitution, the Senate and the public be damned.

President Obama Meets with Progressive Bloggers.
You mean right after George Soros hired them SNARK.

It’s going to be hilarious when republican extremists fail to take the senate.

Democrat pollster Doug Schoen:
“Despite voters feelings toward Obama personally, 56 percent say he does not deserve to be re-elected, while 38 percent say he does deserve to be re-elected president.” Worse, Schoen adds, “43 percent say that Barack Obama has been a better president than George W. Bush, while 48 percent say Bush was a better president than Obama has been.”
Read it again, dopes: The people prefer Bush to Obama. I know that’s very bitter news for you, but it will be good for you to accept, and then ask yourselves, “Why? Why?”. Ha ha ha.

“It’s going to be hilarious when republican extremists fail to take the senate.”
Here’s a bulletin: only one-third of the Senate has to answer to the voters next week.

according to Nate Silver…
“The reason that Democrats are likely to hold the Senate but not the House — the necessary and sufficient reason — is because only one-third of the Senate is up for re-election every year,” Silver wrote. “If the whole Senate were up for re-election, Democrats would lose it and lose it badly.”
Silver says that Republicans might even have achieved a veto-proof majority (67 senators) if all of the Senate was in play.” – John Byrne

Read the poll, it had majorities familiar with the GOP’s pledge to America and the Tea Party’s “Contract for America”
It plays up 3rd parties (gee what a shock given Shoen and Republimussen’s book is supposed to be about the power of the Tea Party)
And he does not publish anything in the way of demographic breakdown or methodology.

Interesting.
Unsurprising that right wingers would be duped. Again.
What I found interesting is that he seems to be trying to corral tea partiers within the Republican party. In a three way race between Romney, Palin and Obama, or Romney, Huckabee and Obama, Obama wins. And oddly, the poll doesn’t name names for a two way race and poll that. (They keep it generic, and claim a Republican would win, but other pollsters don’t find the same thing. )
Strange poll. I’d be embarrassed to be touting it.

“I’d be embarrassed to be touting it.”
I’d be embarrasses if I had called Bush the “worst president in history”–what does that make Obama?
So the distinguished Doug Schoen–Harvard Magna cum Laude; JD Harvard Law School; 1996 Pollster of the Year–is getting his technique graded by some left-wing sap?
I’m telling you, folks, there’s a real civil war going on in the Democratic Party. It’s a real shame…

Lefties on this blog are oblivious to the fact prices of basic necessities have gone up and are impacting the most vulnerable in society. Food going up by 48% is no laughing matter, fuel has risen as well. Obama has shifted oil workers jobs overseas and now we depend on foreign companies for oil. How is that for Hopey Change? Moving Forward yet?

“Lefties on this blog are oblivious to the fact prices of basic necessities have gone up and are impacting the most vulnerable in society”
ROFLMAO!
You may want to check the actual figures before believing in an investment firm that wants you to buy gold.
If you do buy gold, don’t buy coins like Beck endorsed Goldline will push on you. They are not worth nearly as much.

I’d be embarrasse[d]if I had called Bush the “worst president in history”–what does that make Obama?
I’ve never called him that but political scholars have ranked him as one of the five worst. Since you like polls, check out SIENA RESEARCH INSTITUTE, 5th Presidential Expert Poll, July 2010
Bush was ranked 39th. President Obama, 15th.
In regards to Schoen’s poll, it was odd, for the reasons I mentioned and for the reasons Ryan C mentions which you can verify yourself, as a matter of fact.

It is a good blog. I highly encourage people to partake. There’s a good post up right now busting the chops of Fox and friends for their ridiculous meme/lie about Obama allegedly injecting race into the election (“At Fox & Friends, Obama accused of ‘injecting’ race into debate with oft-told car story”) I like that they often include videotape.

During his administration we had the worst terrorist attack in our history, we invaded a country that had nothing to do with that attack and to wrap things up he watched the economy completely implode.

Shhhhhh…. that happened when they were sleeping and they think it was just a nightmare, and they like to keep it that way.

“Food going up by 48% is no laughing matter, fuel has risen as well. ”
-downwithsocialism
Do you have a source for this? The Consumer Price Index for Food Items shows an increase of less than 2% over the period from January 2009 to last month. I would really appreciate a source. Because I think you’re just lying and spreading propaganda.
Aside from the rise after the crash during the end of the Bush admin, gas prices have been incredibly steady. They are lower now than they were for a year and a half period through most of 2007 and 2008.
Please do not make claims that are easily disprovable.

Why did the Dem candidate for FL governor feel she had to cheat? And why does CNN say she lied about her cheating.

Is it appropriate for senate candidates to use racism, fear and xenophobia in a campaign ads? Perhaps if we didn’t have people trying to spread fear about a race of people, a president wouldn’t have to reassure them that it’s OK to be Hispanic in America.

“I’ll trust Schoen’s methodology over two amateur zanies any day”
Except for the fact that you don’t know his methodology.
You just like his results.
If he came out with a poll tomorrow extolling a Democratic resurgence, you would ignore or denounce him.

abcd “Food going up by 48% is no laughing matter, fuel has risen as well. ”
Do you have a source for this?
WATCH: Grocery Store Staples Shrink, Prices Rise, on video now ABC News

More in 2008
Consumer Reports:”Whether it’s ice cream, juice, or paper towels, many manufacturers are giving you less of what you want, and our new survey shows that you’re taking notice. Downsizing—charging the same price for a lighter package—isn’t new: In 1959 a Consumer Reports reader survey found that deceptive packaging was highest on a list of topics that should be more fully covered. “

It is nice that Obama took the time to meet them. Those bloggers have been working overtime to cover all the shenanigans that some Republicans are up to, as they once again try to pull the wool over folk’s eyes.
We’re all in this together, regular people who see the positive changes enacted by this Administration and Congress, despite the best efforts of the insurance industry, the oil industry, the banking industry, etc. to thwart them. Big corporations can’t understand that when they rip us off, it sends the economy into a tailspin. A balanced economy and reasonable profits is not on their minds!

CBS:
“Nine in 10 African Americans approve of the job he is doing overall, and as many are satisfied with his presidency. Just 37 percent of white voters approve of the job Mr. Obama is doing.”

Fascist Hyena: “Nine in 10 African Americans approve of the job he is doing overall, and as many are satisfied with his presidency. Just 37 percent of white voters approve of the job Mr. Obama is doing.”
And yet the unemployment rate for young African Americans is a record high 50%, and 17% for all ages. African Americans are also joining the ranks of the poor at an astonishing rate. Record level bankruptcies, foreclosures, and homelessness are causing untold suffering for many African Americans. Maybe they’re just giving Obama credit for delivering CHANGE. He certainly did that.

Let me repeat myself. Do you have a source for food prices going up by 49% since Obama took office?
I hope you don’t just go around making those kinds of claims without having the capability of defending your statements.

It’s common practise by the right wing extremists on here – anything to smear the President and the Democrats regardless of it veracity.

I wonder where in the world all this domestic enemy rhetoric started.
I think I remember somebody saying that there were domestic enemies within congress. Who was that again? Oh right, Michele Bachmann. You know who else picked up that rhetoric? Tea Party favorite Sharron Angle.

My God, that photo looks like something from an SNL skit.

This style of talk is way too frequent amongst the extremist goons who post on this site. Their lies and smears repeatedly border on hate. They talk about ‘their’ AMerican as if the Republicans own it. The Republicans do not own America, and neither do the right wing goons.

Andrea – google for yourself regarding food prices, I am not doing your homework.

“Andrea – google for yourself regarding food prices, I am not doing your homework.”
Except I know what your source was.
It was a loony gold selling operation aimed at stoking and preying upon fears of the gullible.

According to Sudbay — who also writes for AMERICAblog Gay and is thus the first member of the gay media to meet with President Obama since he took office …
In two years? Even Bush had a better record.
