It would definitely explain a lot of things.

Except, no, that would make him an obstructionist, not a lame duck president. You know what will make him lame duck president? The 2016 presidential election. That's it, end of story, find a new way to say he's black. I actually prefer ducks to lame ducks but that is just me...
Really the race card?
How pathetic. What's next, lame duck turns in some racist term?

I've explained why that is the logical conclusion for the endless waves of ridiculous hatred of Obama. It's not the "race card", it's hyperbole. Leviathan.Chaosx said: » Really the race card?

Never mind that I was also opposed to Clinton when he was president, because some of his policies weren't exactly the brightest ideas either. But of course I have to be racist to dislike a liberal/democrat president!

is anyone else getting hungry for peking duck?

I wasn't until you had to show that pic....

obama is great, obama is good, let us thank him for our food, By His hands we all are fed, Give us obama our Daily Bread. amen

But of course I have to be racist to dislike a liberal/democrat president! Tell me, since Clinton was markedly left of Obama on a lot of things, did you think Clinton was a radical Muslim liberal fascist socialist or whatever you want to call Obama these days? I sure don't remember anyone saying those things about him. I also remember a Republican controlled house working with him directly on a lot of things. The whole point of bringing up the fact that he's Black is that it's basically the only thing that separates his policies from both Democrat and Republican presidents of the past few decades, and there is clearly far more ire towards Obama than any of them.

I'm not going to say that KN hates Obama because he's black. it's just as conceivable to think that he hates him due to his governance.
on the other hand, it would be a great disservice to honest discourse to say that no one is hating him due to his skin tone.

I was talking about Aman, you're the one who stuck your nose into it like you always do, because you have to disagree with ANYTHING I say. Mancrush much? 2. I highly doubt you know what kind of bills were and weren't kept from the floor in any of the 92-00 Senate sessions. 3. I pay closer attention than most, the difference is that I watch his speeches and read the actions rather than hearing about them from some political opinion commentator. Siren.Mosin said: » on the other hand, it would be a great disservice to honest discourse to say that no one is hating him due to his skin tone. But that's not racism. Nope, it isn't racist until Obama came into office. Odin.Jassik said: » 1.

Why don't you educate us in the number of House bills brought to the Senate floor for debate and the number of House bills kept from being debated. I'm sure you will notice that number isn't skewed heavly towards the shelved pile as it was during the last 4 years during Reid's tenure and the House take-over in 2010. Odin.Jassik said: » 3.

The key words in every definition of "lame duck" is that it is the period "after a successor has been elected". There is no president elect, he's not a lame duck.
You can use the wrong words all you want, but we're going to laugh at you even more than we already do.
[+]
It is like you cannot read. WTF is wrong with you lol?
Are you seriously going to argue your narrow example as the only definition of lame duck? You're smarter than that cmon. Odin.Jassik said: » The key words in Hate to be nitpicky, but clearly those aren't words found in every definition of the term.
[+]
The fact that there are common language definitions of "lame duck" has nothing to do with the political definition. Aman has repeatedly used the exact wording "lame duck president" which has one, only one, definition, and those words appear almost verbatim in every single definition of lame duck president. End of discussion.
He doesn't deserve white-knighting, and people like Aman make a mockery of conservative viewpoints that aren't utter gibberish. Lol. Jassik has completely lost it now. Foaming at the mouth over his misunderstanding of the term lame duck President. You made yourself look dumb but it's alright. No need to insult people because you feel embarrassed. It's all meaningless my friend.
You notice the sound of crickets? Even my biggest fans aren't coming to your rescue.
