When I clicked on the MyDD link this morning, I was thinking that I hadn't heard from Jerome in a long time. There hadn't been anything bitter to say about Obama after the inaguration, so I guess it was no surprise.

What a surprise to see a bitter, resentful post this morning!

Jerome, I have been a huge defender of you in the past. I have defended you against countless attacks here and elsewhere. But no more.

Now you are just embarrassing yourself. A copy and paste job offering more of a swipe at Obama supporters than any insightful analysis?

Jerome, you have proven yourself to be completely out of touch with present day politics. You could not have gotten the 2008 election any more wrong, so one must wonder how you could get anything pertaining to Afghanistan right.

You retreated to blogging about international politics, something which very few care about, and very few can question you on (because very few care about international politics). I suggest you stay there, or retire from political analysis. And to think you were a co-author of crashing the gate?

Obama has proven you wrong on every count in 2008, and when it comes down to Obama versus Jerome on Afghanistan, I'm going to have to side with Obama again; him having the far better track record than you.

I don't know if political analysis is your day job. If it isn't, don't quit whatever it is. You finally proved that you are completely out of touch.

If that is his goal, and that only, its NOT ENOUGH. That is NOT what we elected him for.

In this current economic situation, I just don't see how it can be paid for.

He wants it just like you and I, but the time is not right.

Enough people still don't believe in government.

When the economy is on the upswing and Obama's easiest goals have been achieved through the stimulus plan producing visible, tangible results, then is the time to act.

Sorry pal.

An excellent diary from yellowbelliedcon; a MyDD renowned racist homophobic piece of human refuse, who now resorts to hiding behind cut and paste jabs at the President.

...mean Obama still bugs you?

A.: As many as can fit into the Baltimore, MD airport Industrial Park Marriott conference room.

'cause you know, when Falafel Bill beats Olbermann, the Nielsen ratings are a very big deal for him.

The Harriet Myers will be the butt of political jokes for a generation.

Q: how many PUMAs does it take to screw in lightbulb?

You are a braver man than I.

When you're an embittered old racist dead ender, you don't have to work to hard to come up with reasons to hate the man.

Poor them.

It's called that for a reason.

1: GOP Senate.
2: Senators will protect the institution above partisanship.

It was reported that he told his daughters it would have to wait a while, and they understood.

It's completely out of line.

And he quotes that limeycon Andrew "bareback" Sullivan to prove it. Wow.

Actually, all this proves is that the republican piece of human refuse that is kosnomore, so chicken$hit to admit that he actually is a Republican, just lets us keep getting to him day after day.

I'm a progressive. Why do you have to make up names for what you are? Or are you too ashamed?

I wonder how this degenerate can live with himself day after day suffering loss after loss? He wanted Our Girl in the primary so so badly, and lost. Then he picked the username (Mar)kos no more, and Markous is a bigger hero than ever. Then he campaigned for McPain, and lost again. Then he wanted the stimulus package to fail. And he lost again. Is this masochism?

whatever you do, though, don't ban this racist trash. If I'm having a bad day, I can always look to his posts to revel in his misery.

By offering up bipartisanship and being impolitely refused, it is the Republicans, not the Democrats, who are in a difficult position: if the stimulus does not fail, then the GOP has put themselves over a barrel. They don't want to work with the President and they don't want to help America. What good are they? Unfortunately, the meme of uncooperativeness could not have been put forth without their tantrums.

The United States Senate:

56 Democratic Senators
2 Independents
1 Undeicded Seat
41 Republicans

The Repubs decided to filibuster, because they have nothing else they can do. Yes, we all (not just Obama) need create the narrative that they are standing int he way of progress. But that isn't built in a day.
