      - If I recall you supported Hillary for President, right? If true, do you think she'd still want the job? - Qale Mar 20, 10:42
    - How do we jump from him posting Obama gaffes to him "hating this one black guy?" -- nm - Stephen Mar 20, 10:37 3
      - Twas a joke. See? Qale made the same one. And faster than me. -- nm - Jim Mar 20, 10:39 2
        
        Ok, didn't realize it was a joke. My bad. -- nm - Stephen Mar 20, 10:40 1
        
        Ya know...if the world and TT hadn't been so hard on Bush...I'd probably get more pissed off about this stuff... - Jim Mar 20, 10:43
    - also, he's the Eeyore of financial news. -- nm - Reagen Mar 20, 10:33

        [deleted] 2
        
        Oh please. - Stephen Mar 20, 10:49 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        I fully expect every stupid comment Obama makes to be posted here as payback for 8 years of mocking Bush. - Jim Mar 20, 10:37 3
        
        I was about ready to post if I am here in 8 years shoot me - amoxy Mar 20, 10:37 2
        
        I wonder, should we start planning for an st/tt 25 years celebration - tRuMaN Mar 20, 10:38 1
        
        That would be fun. -- nm - Stephen Mar 20, 10:39
      - I would rather watch the daily show/colbert to get all the gaffes then have them repeatedly brought up on st - tRuMaN Mar 20, 10:32 1
        
        So you're saying that ST is nothing if not repatitive? -- nm - Stephen Mar 20, 10:42
    - See, therein lies the problem. With Bush it was either post gaffes or never speak of the guy at all. The number of positive things to talk about - TWuG Mar 20, 10:29
    - umm, no - tRuMaN Mar 20, 10:29 8

        Haha! Because SlackerTalk is the bastian of good taste. -- nm - Qale Mar 20, 10:35 1
        
        well, no, I was just posting that in general. - tRuMaN Mar 20, 10:36
      - Bullshit. Bush got hammered daily on TT; often for stupid stuff. - Will Hunting Mar 20, 10:29 1
        
        look, I have no idea, I can barely remember what was posted on st yesterday, so I could be wrong. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 20, 10:31
  - Maybe it's the pattern of posts, but even I thought it was an ill-advised remark. I would have commented here - TWuG Mar 20, 10:28
  - [deleted]
  - How would we recognize her otherwise? :) -- nm - Qale Mar 20, 10:25
  - There were other gaffes?! -- nm - Loyola Mar 20, 10:25

  - Agreed -- nm - amoxy Mar 20, 10:23 17

      - What did Garth play? - Will Hunting Mar 20, 10:25 14
        
        Rodeo - he is promoting another greatest hits compilation -- nm - crash davis Mar 20, 10:26 10
        
        I like that song. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 20, 10:28
        
        hmm, - tRuMaN Mar 20, 10:27 6
        
        I've tried to refrain from calling her names on this board, but that is beyond the pale. -- nm - crash davis Mar 20, 10:29 5

        or the roling stones? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 20, 10:27

- Ouch. Yeah...that's the kind of thing you can say when your a normal person...not too good for the Pres. -- nm - Jim Mar 20, 10:21
- He's already president. Shouldn't he stop campaigning? -- nm - Hotkiss Mar 20, 10:21 1
  - A huge portion of the president's job is to convince the public of his agenda, or campaigning. -- nm - crash davis Mar 20, 10:22
