August 23, 201115 yr Should Maxine Waters receive a House rebuke for telling a group of Americans where they could go? Where is the civilty that Obama has called for? Oh thats right, that statement was for his opponents, his followers can do what they want. The civilty has come from the Tea Party people, not Obama's people. Calling Obama's opponents terrorists, racists and telling them where to go. The one thing you can call Obama and Waters is hypocrits first class. Lets hear all the defense for these two hypocrits.
August 23, 201115 yr P/R has lost its value. Prime example.While I don't agree that it's lost it's value I do think this thread could have been started differently. I think it's fair to call Mrs. Waters out for her behavior but it could have done without the rest of the crap.
August 23, 201115 yr Author People complain on the way I stated this, but it seems only 1 person is willing to call out Obama or Waters or the other Dems for their action. My rant may have been over the top, but I am tired of the Dems saying one thing and then doing what they have told their political opponents not to do. Maybe my rant should have stopped after the first two sentences, but I am tired of double standards by the left.
August 23, 201115 yr Author What did she do ? Told the Tea Party members to "go to _ _ _ _". Don't know if I can use the word on here or not.

August 24, 201115 yr I posted it and didn't get a word filter violation word filter violation word filter violation :clap:

The double standard will always exist on both sides. It's easier to just move past it and discuss the issues.
August 25, 201115 yr It's easier to just move past it and discuss the issues. Fine. Waters says the Tea Party can "go to hell" We've been there for the past 2 &1/2 years. It's called the over-spending by Obama & the Democrat-led congress. Hell will (finally) freeze over when the Democrats decide to spend less than they take in.

I guess you were down for a long nap the 8 years before that when Bush and 6 years of a Republican led congress took a surplus to a record deficit?
August 25, 201115 yr I guess you were down for a long nap the 8 years before that when Bush and 6 years of a Republican led congress took a surplus to a record deficit? "The deficit in 2008 was about $500 billion. If President Obama inherited anything, he inherited it from himself. In 2009, the deficit jumped from $500 billion to $1.75 trillion. "President Obama inherited a deficit that he voted for, and then his Congress grew the deficit four-fold since Jan. 20, 2009. How can this be President Bush’s fault? "When President Obama took office, the national debt was about $9 trillion. It is now over $14 trillion. And you say this is the fault of President Bush?" Sorry, 2HC, The incredible record deficits have occurred on Obama's watch, and in record time.
August 25, 201115 yr I guess you were down for a long nap the 8 years before that when Bush and 6 years of a Republican led congress took a surplus to a record deficit? I've never defended Bush's economic policies (if I did, I should be shot for doing so). Cutting taxes during time of war, increased spending during time of war...Bush was an economic mess IMO. It just took until his second term to discover how bad he was. At best, Obama is Bush's economic equal. At worst...well, he's worse.
August 25, 201115 yr Grow up, she talks crap on Obama too......geez..... http://www.theblaze.com/stories/candid-rep-waters-to-black-voters-we-dont-criticize-obama-because-you-love-him/ The scene Tuesday at a Congressional Black Caucus tour stop in Detroit mirrored a large-scale argument more than a political town hall meeting. And things got testy when Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters expressed disappointment with the president and challenged the crowd regarding its “love” for Obama. “We don’t put pressure on the president,” said Waters to cheers and jeers as people interrupted at will and yelled at her. “Let me tell you why. We don‘t put pressure on the president because ya’ll love the president. You love the president. You’re very proud…to have a black man [in the White House] …First time in the history of the United States of America. If we go after the president too hard, you’re going after us.” She then told the fired-up crowd that voters must “unleash” the Democrats on Obama (some obliged) before criticizing him for not visiting any “black community” during his bus tour: “When you tell us it‘s alright and you unleash us and you tell us you’re ready for us to have this conversation, we’re ready to have the conversation. The Congressional Black Caucus loves the president too. We‘re supportive of the president but we’re getting tired ya’ll…we’re getting tired. And so, what we want to do is…we want to give the president every opportunity to show what he can do and what he’s prepared to lead on. We want to give him every opportunity…but our people are hurting. The unemployment is unconscionable. We don’t know what the strategy is. We don‘t know why on this trip that he’s in the United States now, he’s not in any black community…we don’t know that.”
