sundevil777 102 #51 May 5, 2010 Why do libs get so worked up just because the pres makes the mistake of admitting what he really thinks. Economic justice through redistribution of wealth and such... Oh, that's right, you're not supposed to admit that stuff to the general public.People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kallend 2,150 #52 May 5, 2010 Quotelook I totally get that you think the meaning context was changed. And maybe some fucknut actually was trying to change the meaning by editing it the way he did. But I still don't think the meaning changed. What was edited, to me, was a backpedal. To you it changed the meaning context and that's fine. I, unlike you, won't pretend to think I know what you "know in your heart". Have you decided if it changed the meaning or the context yet? Or are you backpedaling too now? Changing context also changes meaning. Are you the unfortunate victim of a US education?... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

I know you can. changing context can change the meaning. It doesn't always change the meaning. In this case, I do not believe it does. You do. We disagree. Get over it.-- Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BDashe 0 #57 May 5, 2010 Dont forget- MSNBC has never clipped statements to make their point stronger. It's like saying "I think you're really ugly, but you have great ass" and leaving off the great ass part. doesn't really make me feel a whole lot better either way.So there I was...

Bolas 5 #61 May 5, 2010 In an attempt to get this thread back on track. For purposes of discussion we will be using the whole quote. From wmw999: Quote Quote Quote Obama: Quote We’re not trying to push financial reform because we begrudge success that’s fairly earned. I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money, but you know, part of the American way is, you know, you can just keep on making it if you’re providing a good product or you’re providing a good service.” Pirana Quote He says at some point HE thinks a person has made enough money. How much is that, EXACTLY? Should everybody live by the amount he personally thinks is enough? To me, the rest of his comment made it clear that his opinion is counter to how the system works. How many people here disagree with how the system works? You like taxes? Laws about drugs? Gun laws? Speeding laws? So the context made all the difference -- it says "that's my opinion, and it's counter to the way things work in America" instead of "that's my opinion and it's going to be enacted into law." Now that's a big difference. Wendy P. My response: Were he just a private citizen I'd agree. That's a scary opinion of capitalism for the most powerful person in the free world to have. Edited to add: One with the power to make and shape policies and regulations.Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh.

That is so funny coming from you since in the past you have defended your position by bringing up something similar a republican has done. (Response will be-"Show me where I've said that".
