So, let me get this straight:
President and Mrs. Obama, who seem to know everything about how others should live their lives, want to tell me:
What kind of car (small, electric) I should drive;
What kind of food I should eat (but chili dogs are apparently OK if you are the Prez);
How much money I should pay in tax to support government programs which primarily support those who pay no taxes;
That we should cut government spending (and then continues to spend);
That Republicans don't care about the 'little people', and then actually devalues our currency and hits the poor with a massive 'stealth tax', as well as hidden taxes of other kinds more likely to hit the poor;
That we should not support traditional marriage;
That we should not enforce our immigration laws;
That we should just get used to high gas prices;
That we should end our dependence on foreign oil, but won't allow us to drill at home;
BUT
He won't tell Anthony Weiner to resign, because, well, apparently that would be imposing his judgment on a fellow liberal, and gosh, we just can't make those kind of judgment calls.
Just sayin'.

What have you been smoking TA?
You left out: that I should have to pay for abortions all over the world.
Yeah, and he hasn't even started talking about quinn and Illinois.
Go ahead and vent TA.
Right on TA!
B&B's Mom
Let us pray that TA's sex life is not as nonsensical and premature as his blogging.
Finally, some Weiner talk!
Thought you were going to miss out on that, TA.
I think he should stay. He's totally ineffective now and will drag the party down with him.
But wait, look what Ted K and Bill C did, and they are party icons now.
Maybe I should re-think this.
Maybe Cong. Weiner will resign when conservative Sen. David Vitter resigns.
After all, Weiner only sent a few adult texts and pics to other adults. Eek!
Vitter took that a step further and hired prostitutes to act out his diaper fetish.
And Vitter got re-elected. By Republicans.
AND Bob Dold was happy to share the stage with Dave and his Naughty, Dirty Diapers at last summer's Chicago Young Republicans event.
PS - Obama did suggest that Weiner resign.
Where ya been Falbe?
PPS - Your spin is making you dizzy.
"What kind of car (small, electric) I should drive;"
Please name this law that Obama had introduced in the Congress which forces you to drive a particular car. Last time I checked there was no such thing.
"What kind of food I should eat (but chili dogs are apparently OK if you are the Prez);"
You sound like Sarah Palin and Rush Limbaugh complaining about a mom (the First Lady) suggesting healthy things for kids, including her own. Maybe that's a good thing in your mind. God bless you if it is.
You may need those blessings given the Obama Derangement Syndrome apparently running rampant in Mettawa.
"How much money I should pay in tax to support government programs which primarily support those who pay no taxes;"
Members of our Armed Forces don't pay taxes? The Pentagon is the biggest portion of our discretionary spending.
Or are you complaining about Social Security and Medicare taxes? Yeah. Who needs old people and their "paying no taxes" duffs?
"That we should cut government spending (and then continues to spend);"
Next time you see them please ask your friends Bob Dold and Mark Kirk why they want to keep borrowing money from China to give to highly profitable oil companies.
"That Republicans don't care about the 'little people', and then actually devalues our currency and hits the poor with a massive 'stealth tax', as well as hidden taxes of other kinds more likely to hit the poor;"
Last time I checked the Ryan Republican Budget slashed traditional programs for the elderly in order to fund 33% tax cuts for the super-wealthy.
What were you saying about little people?
"That we should not support traditional marriage;"
Huh. I always thought traditional marriage meant that two adults in love could get married. You and your wife, me and mine, and Pres. Obama and his wife are all in such marriages. Newt Gingrich loves the idea so much he's left two wives to marry mistresses. And he has his very own jobs program at Tiffany's to prove it!
Bizarrely, some people still want to discriminate against people in love with each other. Apparently you're one of them.
"That we should not enforce our immigration laws;"
Immigration enforcement, deportations and fines against illegal employers have all increased under Obama compared to Bush. Duh.
"That we should just get used to high gas prices;"
Why are the Koch Brothers and other speculators sitting on literally millions of barrels of oil they've got locked up in tankers in the Gulf?
"That we should end our dependence on foreign oil, but won't allow us to drill at home;"
Drill for what? A fraction of the world's reserves? In some of the most inhospitable and impossible to get to areas on the planet?
And Obama
Wouldn't it be easier and make more sense to invest that money in renewable energy instead?
Here I thought you were some kind of environmentalist conservative.
@ Paul -
Are you ok with post-birth abortions in Iraq and Afghanistan (aka, "collateral damage" as Don Rumsfeld so eloquently put it)?
We seem to be paying several trillion dollars for those post-birth abortions thanks to conservatives.
=== Where ya been Falbe? ===
Where YOU been, Rob? We'd been getting used to life without you here.
By the way, you are on honorable probation around here, don't blow it.
Rob N,
Hey dude, I think you need to be medicated - chill out and call your shrink - you've got some serious anger issues.
Rob_N, we know where you stand on the issues. We're interested in what you have to say as it pertains to your side locally. If you want to have a Hannity-Colmes fight on national talk radio trash please take it elsewhere. You may not agree with team america, but by now you should respect him enough to a)realize he's a moderate republican and does not stand for the rush part of our party b)doesn't appreciate the yelling. Catlady and Carl are just a few clicks away if you need to get that off your chest.

@ Falbe - Life happens.

@ Shore - So it's ok for your host to screech easily disproven nonsense but it's not ok for his guests (even ones on "honorable" probation, whatever that is) to point out the error of his ways?
And to paraphrase the late, great Lloyd Bentsen: I know moderate Republicans and Mr. Falbe's no moderate Republican given ODS-induced rants like this one.
In fact, the moderate Republicans I know who also know Larry don't particularly care for the guy. No skin off my back and I'm sure he, and you, could care less.
--
@ All conservatives including our host and FOKLAES/Shore - Now that Rep. Anthony Weiner has resigned for sending adult pictures to other adults, when will conservative family values Republican Senator Diaper Dave Vitter resign?
And when will your guy Dold renounce Diaper Dave's immoral fetishes with prostitutes instead of gladly sharing the stage with him at events like last summer's Chicago Young Republicans gathering?
