Fireside Friday: Obama Please Act Like President

[blackbirdhollow]

It must be weird accepting compliments on your reports of these brutish happenings but, for what it's worth, you do a great job. Thanks for your tenacity, for expressing your facts with eloquence and for having the courage to hold the crooks' feet to the fire. Keep up the excellent work.

[TheComputerEngineer]

He's letting people in his administration significantly affect his decisions. He needs to take more initiative.

Don't hold your breath Alyona. Barack Obama is a con artist and a damn liar toward the moderates, toward the independents of this country. The people that were tricked by the Mainstream media. Based on media sensitization & glorifying him to death, Obama took that chance betray the Americans People, the Administration ultimately betrays the Liberals when it comes to civil liberties and wars without representation. Republicans are not the only ones to blame, that's for damn sure.

[Masonsky123]

Listen Obama can never get involved in this. WHY? Because it will reveal who really holds power in our country. The President is not the one that holds the power. CIA doesn't answer to him. The DOD doesn't answer to him. But they need to keep the people believing that their elect representive (the president) has the power. Why? Because people don't revolt if they think they are free.

[DrQuijano]

Here's how republikkkans will win 2012:

33% of Americans are hard-line republikkkans

30% are hard-line democrats

37% are independents.

Independents already put their faith in Obama and were disappointed by his republican light ballless pussy out approach to being (or not being) a leader and consider him a sellout and traitor. They will, therefore, vote for a 3rd party or not vote. Because there is no set 3rd party, the votes will be scattered. Pure repubs > Pure demos, bible humpers win.

[BigMrFirebird]

Obuma's the ultimate betrayer. Duping the people of the US into believing in hope in change after the tragic Bush years and delivering nothing but cave-ins and compliance. Pathetic.

[garytcw]

The funny part about this is,

With this sellout president of so many lies...

It will be put forth against worse horse shit from the GOP side.

American's sorry ass just got fuck deeper and deeper inside. The rest of the world don't even know if you enjoying the ass fuck, or block out the pain, or just too afraid to fight back... Regardless, USA people are pathetic

[DanielDamascusKimery]

Hippo Mouth.

[fahim113]

What a spineless jellyfish. Disgusting treament

[CmdrSloanne]

Pres.Obama acts like his afraid of these KKK & White Supremacists calling themselves Republican,he might fear they might lynch him..come one your the Pres. act like one or get out & give someone with balls to standup against this new Nazis.

[Y0UT00B3R1]

Please, son...I already do. And when I awake, enjoy a little Dioxin in my Corn Flakes...

...Bitches ain't shit. Bring it.

[Your1maginaryFriend]

@Y0UT00B3R1 obvious troll is obvious

[Y0UT00B3R1]

"Obama Please Act Like President‬"

You mean 'Act like President' Medvedev, your pussy-ass 'leader' with Putin's hand up his butt? Or, 'Act like (A) President', you dumb Russian cunt? Lookin' like a fuckin' praying mantis, with your wackly overused "air quotes"...

[RBLA818]

@Y0UT00B3R1 That's it boy, the Commies got your number now!!! Your Ass is Grass! Better sleep with your gun.

[Y0UT00B3R1]

Manning is getting everything that he deserves. You can't sell your ass to the Gov't. and then fuck them by leaking classified shit, and think it's all good. Even the most liberal of presidents would be foolish to let him off of the hook. Don't be stupid.

[itisYOUREnotYOUR]

He is not legally the president. He is not constitutionally eligible because his father was Kenyan and his mother was too young to transmit US citizenship at the time of birth. That makes him a dual citizen at best - that is if he was really born in the US - for which 45% of all americans have doubts about his nativity "story".

[StraightPunkEdge93]

Jesus Christ Obama your the fucking president. all you have to do is say jump and those motherfuckers working under you will jump. Your in control, you have the power to stop this sense torture.

[itisYOUREnotYOUR]

@StraightPunkEdge93 ...

[blackbirdhollow]

I'm enjoying the Fireside Friday segments. :)

Obama's Nobel Peace Prize was awarded on his promises alone. Now that he has failed to keep such promises as closing/moving Gitmo and shows no intention of following through, the Prize should be revoked and never again be issued to anyone before they've actually DONE anything to deserve it.

REVOKE OBAMA's NOBEL PEACE PRIZE NOW!

FREE BRADLEY MANNING.

Thanks for your continued excellent reporting and analysis.

[PulaskiSkater71]

funny how many people gave me shit for not voting for Obama. people just wanted to Vote for the black guy instead of doing research

[CocoandVelvet]

@PulaskiSkater71 I'm far to young to be voting but if i could the only reason i would hesitate to vote McCain would be the possibility that Sarah Palin could become president, because lets be honest John McCain isn't a young man anymore. Sarah Palin has proven her self VERY unprepared for such a situation and our country would be in worse condition than it is now.

[DirtFlyer]

@CocoandVelvet Even if you are too young you have pretty much hit the nail on the head regarding voting in the USA. You pick the person who you think will do less damage. What you don't do is vote based on their campaign promises and rhetoric. Unfortunately, more people vote for American Idol in this country than they do for president. I would guess that they pay more attention to American Idol than presidential debates as well.

[PulaskiSkater71]

@CocoandVelvet sorry i should have been a little more clear. i didn't vote for McCain either based on what you said and other things. I voted for Ron Paul because i believe he really does want to make a change. Mainstream media gives him no respect and i think it's just cause he tells it how it is. people don't like that

[bugsz1]

They police themselves, what do you expect?

[paulcoonan]

...based on his PHD in Constitutional law...

[club213542]

Obamageddon the lions roared and the emperor has no cloth. So get up off your knees the world over and spit.... Then ask what the hell it is we are letting them do while they hym and haw ond blow their HARP all over.

[mb2400]

Thank you, Alyona! May it be that one day you will interview Bradley Manning on your show.

[resiakd]

Alyona, I am in agreement with you on this one, President Obama needs to step up and grow a pair.

[garytcw]

@resiakd "President Obama needs to step up and grow a pair."

American are lazy as fuck.

No, dumb fuck, American needs to step up and grow a pair. Fucking lazy horse shit.

[Madfoot713]

@resiakd I don't know why people consider Obama weak. He's a very strong war-oriented president.

[resiakd]

@Madfoot713 In my opinion, Obama is not calling the shots when it comes to policy, those decisions are being made by the true, hidden government of the United States. Obama is just a spokesman and is there to give us the illusion of a republic. We are actually an oligarchy. Obama needs to put the elitists who are running things into their place and do what he was elected to do, which is to be the leader of the executive branch of our federal government.

[TheAsfaloth]

obama acts like he doesn't know the full story of what is happening to Manning, he is such a fucking snake and a liar.

[usergently]

Barry is a tool. So. Mr. Manning my prayers goes to you, Hero!

[peepeevagi]

Because Alyona knows how a President should properly act >.>

[JobDDT]

Disappointed Obama voter here.

[Dayonetheone]

@JobDDT Vote for Nader...

[MrAtheist1984]

The title is so true he is weak he needs to grow some balls.

[artpena72]

The title says it all!

[criticsview]

You are the best! Please don't ever sellout.
