Debate on an issue involves meaningful dialogue based on points and counterpoints. Posting a nonsense video rather than continuing the dialogue tells me you have nothing to counter with.

Oh, and I'm the first and only one to use a clip as a response. That's amazing. I would post the Yakkety-Yak clip, but you might find it pointless.
You know, there's already a Robert's Rules, we don't need a Dave's Rules.

All I am saying is that if you can't debate in an intelligent manner then perhaps you should admit defeat and move on to the next thread. Posting a nonsense video says the same thing but also makes you seem like a sore loser.

The unions led by the AFL-CIO and SEIU spent tens of millions of dollars to help Obama pass his monstrosity of a health care law and now nearly half of all unions workers are exempt from the very same law.
Via Daily Caller:
Labor unions continued to receive the overwhelming majority of waivers from the president’s health care reform law since the Obama administration tightened application rules last summer.
Documents released in a classic Friday afternoon news dump show that labor unions representing 543,812 workers received waivers from President Barack Obama‘s signature legislation since June 17, 2011.
By contrast, private employers with a total of 69,813 employees, many of whom work for small businesses, were granted waivers. [...]
By and large, unions backed the health care overhaul, a law from which nearly a half million of their workers are now exempt

2011Obama Spent 25% of 2011 Either on Golf Course or Attending Reelection Fundraisers…
There were a few times when Obama did two fundraisers in the same day so I’ll knock it down to 60 days where he hit up his donors.
60 fundraisers + 33 rounds of golf = 93 days either on golf course or attending fundraisers ÷ 365 days = 25.47%
This is obviously a rough estimate but you get the point, he spent around three months of 2011 on the links or hitting 35K per person fundraisers.

"Any president whose actions so consistently refute his own words must have deep contempt for the intelligence of the American public."
The Obama administration told U.S. owned Hawker Beechcraft earlier this week they are being excluded from bidding on the US Air Force contract for a light attack aircraft. That leaves Brazilian owned Embraer as the likely recipient of the lucrative deal. I found this one hard to believe so I did a little research. It was tough because this was completely ignored by the main stream media. The information is out there on several conservative sites. Please see the two articles linked below.
This is a double slap in the face of the United States. At a time when jobs, the economy, and security are the most critical priorities for our country, the Obama administration decides to send a defense contract to a foreign owned company.
This has to be the stupidest thing this administration has done to date. This is not just a dumb decision, it is a perfect example of why this president is such a poor leader. He talks about wanting jobs. He says we need to force companies to repatriate billions of dollars that Americans keep overseas. He wants to raise taxes so he can spend billions on stimulus that does nothing to stimulate anything
And when it’s time to act, he sends our tax dollars overseas at the expense of American jobs and income for an American company. This is nothing more than a Chicago-style political pay back; but this time it is at the expense of our national security.
How much more damage will Obama be allowed to do in the next 14 months? One of the lead stories in the media this week blasted Congress for insider trading. If this contract goes to Embraer it will be a huge pay off to another George Soros company.

And if that wasn’t bad enough, he also told them they were reminiscent of WWII GIs and 1960s civil rights protesters for backing his re-election campaign.

Obama Tells His Campaign Donors They Are Modern-Day Minutemen For Supporting Him…
And if that wasn’t bad enough, he also told them they were reminiscent of WWII GIs and 1960s civil rights protesters for backing his re-election campaign.
Via Daily Caller:
President Barack Obama portrayed his campaign donors Monday night as the modern-day equivalent of the 18th-century colonists who fought the British Empire on the battlefields of Concord, Saratoga and Yorktown.
“It takes you, ordinary citizens committed to fighting and pushing, inching this country forward bit by bit so we get closer to our highest ideals,” he declared in a tub-thumping campaign speech to seven hundred donors.
“That’s how this country was built. That’s how we freed ourselves from an empire,” he told the donors comfortably seated at white-linen tables in Washington D.C.’s Capital Hilton hotel.
Their circumstances were markedly more comfortable and safe than those of colonist rebels who risked being shot or hung if caught by the King’s soldiers.
Just in case his donors didn’t catch the flattery, Obama laid it on even thicker by comparing their donations to “how the Greatest Generation was able to overcome more than a decade of war and depression.”
He also offered his supporters a more plausible and politically correct comparison, comparing their efforts to those of 1950s and 1960s “young people [who] beat back the billy clubs and the dogs and the fire hoses to make sure that race was no longer a barrier to what you can become in this country.”
