Ted Rall: It’s increasingly evident that Obama should resign
THE STATE JOURNAL-REGISTER ^ | May 29, 2009 @ 12:02 AM | Tedd Rall

Posted on 05/30/2009 4:51:56 PM PDT by bluejay

From health care to torture to the economy to war, Obama has reneged on pledges real and implied. So timid and so owned is he that he trembles in fear of offending, of all things, the government of Turkey. Obama has officially reneged on his campaign promise to acknowledge the Armenian genocide. When a president doesn’t have the nerve to annoy the Turks, why does he bother to show up for work in the morning?

Obama’s dumbest move was a VP stupider than he was.

Viva President Biden!

Get Rall on board to expose Obama for the fake President that he is. Maybe he get the proof that Zero is not an American citizen and therefore inelligible to serve as President of the United States. Fight commies with other commies.

That’s because Ted Rall and the rest of the leftist moonbats are disappointed that 0bama has not immediately instituted a Stalinist paradise. The far left moonbats want to see anyone not a far left moonbat shipped to the GULAGs, and 0bama has disappointed them - so far.

Nope. It’s been completely evident since January 20 of this year that obama should resign for the good of the country (which is why obama will never resign). That fact cannot become more evident than it has been since well before election day.

The latest opinion by this P.O.S. Rall has raised the ire of the DU crowd as well.

No one is safe over there.

"Obama’s dumbest move was a VP stupider than he was."

Actually, I think that was his safety net against the Dem-Socialists.

They know, if zero IS ever brought up on impeachment .. it'll go nowhere 'cause guess who's next?

And if they could (O so easily) oust "nobody messes wit' Joe" .. there's the bitch in the Speaker's chair.

They might get rid of one body .... but three?

“Correct me if I’m wrong, but this guy is mad at Obama from the left. How is such a thing possible?”

Ted Rall is mentally ill. He’s the cartoonist who mocks disabled kids and thinks Pat Tillman DESERVED to be killed by friendly fire.

He is a loathsome POS, and was recently ‘let go due to budget constraints’ (fired) from The NY Times.

When a lefty is too left for the left, we really ARE living in Upside-Down World.

After a 100+ days of Obama, Biden would be a relief.

To state the obvious, he has mental issues.

I wonder if his thoughts on preventative detention pertain to the conservatives as well or if he thought that it was directly and only tied to those with conservative thought processes it would be ok and were open game.

Isn't Ted Rall also the cartoonist who claims that he remembers zerobama from Columbia University? After rumors started appearing that no one at C.U. remembered seeing zero in class after he transferred there from Occidental College, Rall came forward and claimed that he remembered zero in class and on campus.

Maybe that’s why Rall was fired? LOL!

I wish him nothing but bad luck, an ulcerated stomach and a long, painful, terminal illness. He’s obviously in the second stages of dementia already. :)

Interesting that Ted Rall, one of the nastiest, meanest, most vociferous doctranarire leftist, and treasonous used condoms of the hard left would dis da man, da Won, da Messiah, etc., adinfinitum, etc.

I would dearly love for the left to start eating it's own like a school of Piranha.

I personally will never respond to inappropriate Census questions.

Number of people living in my domain, gender, age....that is about it.

Every year of my adult life I have received local census questionnaires, and I have always tossed them into the trash.

I almost never respond to polls, but sometimes I answer questions and realize later that I had been tricked by a stealth poll. Such polls abound.

After Obama was elected, my aunt (who voted for him) said, "I hope he doesn't get assassinated by some right wing nut!" I told her that he didn't have to worry about conservatives, or the so-called "right wing." He had made so many promises to the hard left in order to get their support, there just wasn't any way he was going to be able to make them happy. It's the left he has to worry about...

He’s the most rancid, hateful “satirist” on the Left, outclassing even such distinguished company as: Al Franken, Janeane Garofolo, Margaret Cho, etc.

But apparently, he’s got guts.

There’s a price to be paid for dissing the Great O.

I suppose his home address, photo, license plate #, personal info etc. are already posted on the

I remember the conservative columnist who postulated that the Left started to go schizophrenic when they had to somehow paper over the fact that JFK was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald—a left-wing nut.

And then when RFK was assassinated by Sirhan Bishara Sirhan, a card-carrying Palestinian.

That’s when “America” and it’s “culture of violence” became the official villain.

No, the one I am talking about is married to a friend of ours- she is currently serving in the Army- but has been severely brainwashed by the likes of Sharpton, Jackson, and the looney left. She was so happy to be sucked in by the Obama magic and tell those of us that weren’t enchanted how wrong we were and how perfect everything would be.

She started to question Obama when he started spending like a drunken sailor- but blamed the problems on Bush. She has questioned a few other things since but always blamed Bush, following the talking points of course. Lately she is really questioning his aptitude at foreign policy and seems worried about him lacking in experience that might be helpful in Afghanistan, Korea, and Iran. Amazing- you would think since she is in the Army she would have been concerned about this issue last fall before casting her vote. It has been amazing to hear her change her tune though. I never in a million years expected this lady to change her mind about Obama- especially so quickly.

Ted Rall, cry me a river buddy cry me a river. What do you expect, these guys running Washington don’t give a crap about you and me, healthcare gun control, the list goes on and on.

The Liberals never cease to amaze me how stupid they can be. These guys in Washington Democrati, Republican, really are not concerned at all about the will of the people.

If they thought that by giving every American citizen a pink hat and pink T-shirt they could get elected they would do it.

They are not concerned about ideology ideology is a means to an end for them.

I only hope and pray, that both Democrats and Republicans at the grassroots level wake up, and realize that our government is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.
