Chris Matthews: Obama Shouldn’t Be Acting ‘Snarky’ Towards Republicans
by Josh Feldman | 9:56 pm, November 18th, 2015
Chris Matthews tonight said it doesn’t help forPresident Obama to be “snarky” with Republicans on letting refugees into the United States.
The fight between the White House and Republicans on refugees peaked last night when the president mocked the GOP’s concerns about bringing them in, saying their rhetoric is a “potent recruitment tool” for ISIS and that they’re not as tough as they say if young orphans scare them.
Well, tonight, Matthews said, “I don’t think the president should ever get snarky. Why did he do it there? Why is he making fun of the Republicans
http://www.mediaite.com/tv/chris-matthews-obama-shouldnt-be-acting-snarky-towards-republicans/
Some one need to tell that idiot Matthews that these same Republicans have acted worse then snarky toward President Obama.
and towards Catholics, which is what he is. Shame on him.
Screw him. He is a total idiot. I quit watching him back in 2008.
HA!!

Ben Stein Asks If Obama Hates America Because He’s Black
by Josh Feldman | 2:38 pm
November 18th, 2015 VIDEO
Conservative commentator Ben Stein said yesterday there’s no doubt President Obama hates America, but asked if that might have to do with his race.
Stein––who last year called Obama the “most racist president there has ever been”––told Newsmax’s Steve Malzberg that Obama is a “bad joke” because of his failed leadership against ISIS.
“I think the question is,” he said, “why is he so angry at America. I don’t think that there’s much question he doesn’t wish America well. He has a real strong hatred of America.”
http://www.mediaite.com/online/ben-stein-asks-if-obama-hates-america-because-hes-black/
Ask Ben Stein does he hate President Obama because he’s black? I think I know the answer to that. Yes!!!!!!!!!!! .
I ALWAYS TELL RACISTS…THAT INCLUDES MY SPOUSE…THAT WHEN THEY DIE…GOD HAS A SPECIAL ROOM FOR THEM FOR ETERNITY…FILLED WITH NOTHING BUT BLACK MEN…:)
Ben Stein is the pus from the snail that PBO scraped off his shoe this morning. Fuck him!
this video is a tear jerker ~ in a good way. Thank you for posting it.
Good Morning Everybody.
I CAN’T WAIT TILL PBO COMES BACK AND I KNOW WHERE HE IS AND WHAT TIME HE WILL BE THERE…GEESH..IT’S A BLONDE THING..I GET LOST!….I HAVE TO ADIOS…ERRAND TIME….BLESSINGS ALL!
Is that Bond, James Bond?
HE’S BETTER THAN BOND AND THEY ONLY MADE ONE!…:)
Remember James Bond can only be white.
Heck no! That’s Obama, PRESIDENT Barack Obama! But you can call him POTUS! 😎

African Americans pay more for car insurance
Nov 18, 2025 4:05pm
African Americans with good driving records have to pay far more for their auto insurance than their white counterparts, according to a survey released on Wednesday by the Consumer Federation of America.
The survey looked at good drivers who live in ZIP codes mainly populated by African Americans and compared them to those in largely white areas. It found that quoted premiums were 70 percent higher for African Americans. The average premium for those with similar incomes and driving records was $1,060 for black drivers compared to $622 for whites, the CFA found.
“These findings suggest a troubling pattern of high rates in African-American communities regardless of driver history,” Tom Feltner, the CFA’s director of financial services, said in a statement. “We are not rushing to judgment about why this happens, but it is urgent that regulators, lawmakers, and the industry take a hard look at these findings and address the impact of high auto insurance prices on drivers living in predominantly African-American communities.”

We all knew that though.
I love this. Cracks me up. Her ‘ I ain’t got time for your foolishness’ face is HILARIOUS!
LOL! Precious! 😆😆😆
Truth!
I agree Rikyrah.
The parallels are terrifying.
It is the same ugly crap we heard during the Obamacare fight. Which boiled down to RW screaming that they didn’t want poor people or black people to share in what only they were entitled to.
Expressed as “take our country back.”
Dudette posted a description of Fascism and the desire for that is what Trump is playing to. round ups and deportations—OMG.
thank you for the tweet…i have grown weary of the press just mouthing these things with no push back
sickening, isn’t it? I remember when Clinton was President and we still had actual reporters & jounos, every time the unemployment rate went down they made a big deal about it on every news program. Now they just “report” on what the RW says.
Relentless propaganda against the Obama Administration seems to be working. Very sad.
No it’s not working - the poll it itself a form of propaganda. If you ask a question specifically designed to elicit a spiteful response from certain groups of people - you will get that response. And that’s what this poll is about - forming an opinion, not reporting it. This is similar to the “Katrina” polls the media used during the midterms. The only thing is that this is a Presidential election, not a midterm. The media is UNHINGED right now. They are itching for a war, and POTUS is not having it. They’re itching for a Republican presidency and their boy Jeb Bush is struggling to get even 4th place among a group of pathetic candidates.
Honestly , who gives a dam what those racists haters think. Republicans don’t want to give President Obama any credit for doing anything.
Problem is Repubs seem to be the only ones who bother to vote.
^5
That is why it matters.
If we voted, what we think would matter more.
Yep
Ta-Nehisi Coates won this years National Book Award for non-fiction. Also, Mr. Coates won a genius award last month which comes with a $100,000.00 prize.
Also, his masterpiece “Between the World and me” is still in the NY Times best seller category 18 weeks on.
Good for him. Glad to see him getting props.
Good afternoon, TOD! Been alternating between med treatments and jazz shows, so I’ve been scarce since the beginning of the month. Appreciate that you guys always leave the lights on, door open and a full buffet of outstanding information for a weary traveler! <3 you!
Love you back! <3
The Obama Generation:
okay, didn’t show up twice. new tactic:
On Monday, 20-year-old Jewell Jones, was sworn in as an Inkster City Councilman, officially making him the youngest elected councilmen in the history of Inkster, Michigan!
In the final hours of his campaign Jones said, “The goal is to show our young people that something like this is very much attainable. The goal is greater than City Council, but always with Inkster in mind…I would like to do great things for our City. That’s why I’m running. That’s why winning is the only option.”
Congratulations, Jewell! You’re an inspiration to young people everywhere. Who knows, a run for the U.S. presidency could be next!
#becauseofthemwecan
Got it! Thanks!
For the love of all that is right in the universe…….SHAME on these cowards.
Those sorry weak knee Democrats.
I can’t stand them sometimes.
Unbelievable! I guess this applies to refugees too!
Because to alot of those poor middle class Republicans, it’s about one thing, race.
Good day TOD
Congrats on 1st Vicki :)
Thank you dear Chips for that very touching video!!

They’re insane and evil!
Ben Carson is not well! The man needs a shrink!
The christian Carson compared the Refugees to dogs. Where is the love?
😀
dang…
THERE ARE NO WORDS FOR THIS TREACHERY.
POTUS got to come home and deal with these Turkeys. I mean the two turkeys he will pardon. I will name them this year and I will call them……….Turkey Republican and Turkey Democrat.
The way I feel right now about the GOP policies and rhetoric if two turkeys were named Republican and Democrat I would say save Democrat and kill and eat Republican. I would even enjoy eating that turkey.
sorry about all the duplications….sheesh
Once again, it’s time in my composition class to read Cry, the Beloved Country. The book about South Africa two years before apartheid became official policy It is a deeply moving book, and speaks to our country today, today even more than previously. We watched the first part of the movie today…..James Earl Jones and Richard Harris are the two main actors. At the end of the segment a charcter mentioned the hate and divisiveness in the country. I stopped the movie there and gave my sermon: I told them not to listen to politicians and preachers who are preaching hate and fear. That hate does not drive out hate, love does. I told them that Sunday morning our pastor prayed for ISIS…and said, they need prayer. I also told them that at the end of our service, in our closing prayer we always close with “love one another, every single other.” Then I told them that the terrorists in Paris were not Syrians and said there was no reason to be afraid of refugees….women and children! Then I quoted the first part of Emma Lazarus’s poem on the Statue of Liberty…..”give me your tired, your poor…..” etc. and reminded them that the first pilgrims on the Mayflower were not elite, but really outcasts. I have three lovely Muslim girls in that class. Age 18 is the time to make an emotional and intellectual impact on people, and I will keep preaching. I feel this so strongly.
I’m going to make copies of the Lazarus poem and give them out in class next week.
Brava carolyn! Teach the babies right! We need thousands more like you!
Thank you so much carolyn…we must follow your lead….
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. Edmund Burke
Pennsylvania Sen. Pat Toomey’s campaign manager sent out a fundraising email, based on his opposition to letting Syrian refugees into Pennsylvania.
“Senator Toomey believes nothing is more important than the security of the American people. To that end, he is pushing to suspend the admission of Syrian refugees into the United States until we are able to determine, with full confidence, that there are no security risks among them. … If you agree with Senator Toomey, that nothing trumps the security of the American people, join the cause here.”
The link brings supporters to a “contribute” page.
This is my Senator…i hope we can vote him out in 2016
Mine too and I want to make him “One-term Toomey.”
Although I’m “friends” with Sestak, I’m starting to take a look at https://johnfetterman.com/

My Dem Rep WI Ron Kind. I am sick…..
it take courage to stand up in face of bigotry and hatred and fear….where did you find the list
All House votes here…http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2015/index.asp….They show up pretty fast because they all vote electronically.
All Senate votes here…http://www.senate.gov/pagelayout/legislative/a_three_sections_with_teasers/votes.htm…….They take a really long time to show up because it takes them so long to vote on anything.
thanks
Unfortunately, once again my Congressman, Donald Norcross, voted with the Republicans. The is becoming a very bad habit. I sent him an email. Fortunately, there’s somebody, Alex Law, much more progressive, running to primary him. I signed on and started donating to him.
One of them is congressman from San Diego (not my Rep.) who has been inundating me with e-mails soliciting subscription. I sent him an e-mail letting him know that what he did was shameful. Although he is a Democrat in a tough district that was for a long time dominated by Republicans a, he will not be getting a penny from me. I am sick and tired of cowardly Democrats.
we have to demand more…like the PBO says..Progress is not inevitable it must be fought for…
We have only one world, we must share it with all life forms. <3 http://sharepowered.com/an-orchestra-brings-whales-to-the-surface-this-music-will-take-your-breath-away/
Sue asked for this:
I am getting depressed. I have so many right-wing family and friends on Facebook I hardly want to go there anymore. And I’ve been arguing on Twitter with people who just don’t get where others might be coming. I’ve been called a racist for sticking up for POTUS. And apparently Dems in the House are cowed by bigots. I can hardly believe what’s happening in this country!
I agree Pickle. I have so many right wing family and friends. This whole thing really worries me.

Sometimes I used to wonder why people didn’t get involved with politics in the first place, because how could a person not want to know what’s going on. I’ve got friends that couldn’t tell you who the Secretary of State is or who the Attorney General is. I’ve always wanted to know what was going on with regards to politics.
