The only advice I have for you, President Elect Obama, is try not to laugh. I know that’s what I’d have to keep reminding myself if I were about to engage in a lengthy meeting with Chimpy McFlightsuit.

I don’t think Obama will have the problem you envision.

“So Democratic audiences are often surprised when I tell them that I don’t consider George Bush a bad man, and that I assume he and members of his Administration are trying to do what they think is best for the country.”

“…I find the President and those who surround him to be pretty much like everybody else, possessed of the same mix of virtues and vice, insecurities and long-buried injuries, as the rest of us. No matter how wrong-headed I might consider their policies to be—and no matter how much I might insist that they be held accountable for the results of such policies—I still find it possible, in talking to these men and women, to understand their motives, and to recognize in them values I share. “

Barack Obama

I’m pointing this directly at you “freeman”, concern troll.

Wake up little baby, momma’s got to change that diaper…

Gee apparently the main reason for posting here is to act in ways that you could never get away with face to face , in real life , in civil society , for entertainment.

As well as haranging those who don’t agree with you.

You’ve got that part down cold.

You’re no better than other posters, no more insightful, nor more accepting. You are what you rail against.

Shows your utter stupidity. Agnostic does not equal Atheism. Just more twit twaddle spewing from your mouth again like always.

By the way, I’m new to the forum and I don’t really know but is
Tim Vaculik a real person? Is he comic relief or is that guy serious? Geeze!

Welcome! Glad to have you here, and thank you for your service!

Yes, Tim is indeed a real, live, deluded moron – and yet he’s also great comic relief. There are a few trolls like him haunting this place – they try to derail threads by spouting lies and Rovian talking points, but usually just make themselves look foolish. It’s quite fun knocking them down to size, and we’re all lobbying to make Trollwhacking a competitive sport in the 2012 Olympics.

Or none of the above. It’s not a required element of the inauguration.

To be diagnosed with OCD, a person must have either obsessions or compulsions alone, or obsessions and compulsions, according to the DSM-IV-TR diagnostic criteria. The Quick Reference to the diagnostic criteria from DSM-IV-TR (2000)[2] states six characteristics of obsessions and compulsions:

Obsessions

1. Recurrent and persistent thoughts, impulses, or images that are experienced as intrusive and that cause marked anxiety or distress.
2. The thoughts, impulses, or images are not simply excessive worries about real-life problems.
3. The person attempts to ignore or suppress such thoughts, impulses, or images, or to neutralize them with some other thought or action.
4. The person recognizes that the obsessional thoughts, impulses, or images are a product of his or her own mind, and are not based in reality.

Compulsions

1. Repetitive behaviors or mental acts that the person feels driven to perform in response to an obsession, or according to rules that must be applied rigidly.
2. The behaviors or mental acts are aimed at preventing or reducing distress or preventing some dreaded event or situation; however, these behaviors or mental acts are not actually connected to the issue, or they are excessive.

In addition to these criteria, at some point during the course of the disorder, the individual must realize that his/her obsessions or compulsions are unreasonable or excessive. Moreover, the obsessions or compulsions must be time-consuming (taking up more than one hour per day), cause distress, or cause impairment in social, occupational, or school functioning.[

Oh, that explains a lot about our lame duck's state of mind

All I see are your petty, whiney, simpering attempts to keep our attention.

Don’t have any friends, huh?

I find your presence here inappropriate….And incredibly unnecessary

freeman Says:
Oh and Fred , I’m not going anywhere.

I know because you don’t have a job and you have dedicated your life to coming here and teaching the old dogs a trick or two.

Nevermind that you completly shut down any kind of discussion that might be trying to spark….noooooo, we can’t have that. So in so called someone a so in so. We must address that before we can talk about anything important.

Good luck.

At least now I realize where it is you get your remarkably idiotic arrogance from …….Anyone who ridiculously claims to be the reincarnation of all other previous Dalai Lamas needs psychiatric counseling ; not to be preaching nonsense….

——————————————————————————–

Oh and Fred , I’m not going anywhere .
The Dalai Lama said that the best experience you can have for your spiritual growth is an enemy , because it can strengthen your practice of compassion .
I quess this is a blessing .

So now we are the enemy. Thinly veiled inuindo is just as bad as slinging slurs in my opinion and are not a civilized way to have a discussion……you are disqualified.

How’s that feel mr self-righteous?

See I got a mother in law like you. She is the most evil person on the earth and she does some vile and borderline criminal things but she never curses and she will not tolerate it from anyone else……sound familiar?
