Chicago Annenberg Challenge--Part 1


Given Obama's very weak CV, I would have thought for sure that Obama would have touted his executive experience in pushing educational reform in Chicago during the 90s. It must have been an oversight or am I missing something?

You guys don't realize how good you have it here (#110952)

All this griping about Timmy's tongue-in-cheek pseudo-cryptic reference to Ayers. Here's how one of the leading conservative blogs introduces the topic: the latest "Take action" email from Redstate is titled "Stop the Cover Up of Obama's Potential Terrorist Ties."

I'm surprised to see the word "potential" in there.

Yes. You are missing something. Almost everything.

To think is not enough; you must think of something -- Jules Renard

More to come, (#110596)

and using Harley logic, since it was skipped over there must be something to it.

"Making sure your tires are properly inflated, simple thing, but we could save all the oil that they're talking about getting off drilling, if everybody was just inflating their tires and getting regular tune-ups. You could actually save just as much." Ob

it was an oversight. (#110598)

Me: We! -- Ali

I thought so (#110625)
by Timmy the Wonder Dog

but I did expect the MSM to look into it given the overall brevity of the CV.

"Making sure your tires are properly inflated, simple thing, but we could save all the oil that they're talking about getting off drilling, if everybody was just inflating their tires and getting regular tune-ups. You could actually save just as much." Ob

I know! (#110516)
by brendanm98

It's because Obama's role on the board clearly demonstrates his approval of the terrorist acts and anti-American statements of his close friend Bill Ayers.

What do I win?

--

Come, my friends. 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world -- Tennyson

Close friend? Heck, Obama was practically a member (#110536)
by Jordan

of the commie terrorist Weather Underground. He was about 8 years old and in a Madrassa being indoctrinated in Ivy League Elitism, but he was able to attend weekly meetings via wireless. Also he doesn't *really* believe in God, his middle name's Hussein (not Usain), his wife's a Black Panther, and that's just what we know so far.

Did the rest of this get cut off? (#110509)

Or is "Ob" some sort of net lingo I'm not familiar with?

Ridiculing Ob for making a correct claim.

More Wagster!

"Making sure your tires are properly inflated, simple thing, but we could save all the oil that they're talking about getting off drilling, if everybody was just inflating their tires and getting regular tune-ups. You could actually save just as much." Ob

Nice straw man (#110606)
by HankP

indicative of the fact that you can't argue against actual positions, just imaginary ones.

--

I blame it all on the Internet

the sig lays out the position (#110624)
by Timmy the Wonder Dog

which you have not addressed.

--

"Making sure your tires are properly inflated, simple thing, but we could save all the oil that they're talking about getting off drilling, if everybody was just inflating their tires and getting regular tune-ups. You could actually save just as much." Ob

Wrong again (#110629)
by HankP

he suggested it as something everyone could do to help with conservation. It's not the entirety of his energy plan, you know it, yet keep intentionally spreading falsehoods. I understand that it's SOP for your party, but people here see through you quite easily.

--

I blame it all on the Internet

it was the entirety of his comment with respect to offshore (#110641)
by Timmy the Wonder Dog

drilling.

his energy plan collapses due to capacity, storage and distribution issues as well as the time line.

--

"Making sure your tires are properly inflated, simple thing, but we could save all the oil that they're talking about getting off drilling, if everybody was just inflating their tires and getting regular tune-ups. You could actually save just as much." Ob

False again (#110646)
by HankP

but keep it up, I'm sure there's some record you're attempting to break.

--

I blame it all on the Internet

Spot-on, the sole purpose of the sig (#110651)
by Timmy the Wonder Dog

since you couldn't address the balance, even you understand the problems with the plan.

--

"Making sure your tires are properly inflated, simple thing, but we could save all the oil that they're talking about getting off drilling, if everybody was just inflating their tires and getting regular tune-ups. You could actually save just as much." Ob

Your plan (#110670)
by heet

is obviously to obscure and confuse. The problems are it is transparent and makes you look foolish. Maybe the Camel Bux make it all worthwhile.

Over here on E Street, we're proud to support Obama for President. - Bruce Springsteen

somebody else who doesn't understand how things work.

No retort, just more bumping of the gums.

"Making sure your tires are properly inflated, simple thing, but we could save all the oil that they're talking about getting off drilling, if everybody was just inflating their tires and getting regular tune-ups. You could actually save just as much." Ob

It gets worse (#110523)
by Spartacvs
heh (#110515)
by nilsey

that is the "Obama" attribution getting cut off from timmy's sig line.

what's funny is that the diary itself is so disjointed and cryptic (not to mention sh#tty) that it's not surprising that you assumed the unrelated sig line was merely a continuation of the thought (or "construct", to misuse a term).

just the facts as well as an extended duration (#110601)
by Timmy the Wonder Dog

which Obama skips over.

--

"Making sure your tires are properly inflated, simple thing, but we could save all the oil that they're talking about getting off drilling, if everybody was just inflating their tires and getting regular tune-ups. You could actually save just as much." Ob

Yeah (#110517)
by HankP

where's BD to complain about the sh&%ty diary?

--

I blame it all on the Internet

Not a great diary, (#110545)
by Bird Dog

but it still had 39 times more original content than Bill's. But since the left-wingers on the site gave nearly unanimously approval of Bill's diary, it was you who set the standard.

"I want America to know that I'm, like, totally ready to lead." -- Paris Hilton

Ha (#110552)
by HankP

"you left wingers". And it's not even Labor Day.

I blame it all on the Internet

Oh c'mon guys (#110520)
by brendanm98

Timmy's got a sense of humor with how he puts these things, you must admit.

--

Come, my friends. 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world -- Tennyson

Must I? (#110715)
by stillnotking

No, I mustn't. Timmy tries hard, it's true, but so does Carrot Top.

The other day I heard that ignorance and apathy are sweeping the country. I didn't know that, but I don't really care.
