Revenge? Red Flag...Actually, Red, White and Blue Flag!

OMG...is it possible that not questioning the terms "change, redistribution, transformation" we are now not even questioning "revenge?" Should I rant or simply keep simply, simple??? The meaning of "revenge"....let us just take a nice quiet look and see if we can put some sense into the President's terminology..mmmm. Now, of course there are folks who might try to put a "rose" on it, but don't cha think it is time that we use a bit of common sense and ask...nahhh, demand to know this time around: "what the hell are you referring to Mr. President? Please take a moment to be more specific! We certainly would not want to misunderstand you, that is for sure! Jesus, Mary and Joseph...you are getting a little carried away aren't you?

Ok my angels..I think after review of the "change".."redistribution" and "transformation" focus without as much as a Howdayado, we might be smart to put the brakes on here and take gander at just what the meaning of the word "revenge' is...go ahead, take a look my darlings ...yes I mean you all on both sides of the fence. Would not want to think that the Democratic Party has been hijacked...but if it looks that way, better take a very, very close look...  OK...here's the meaning: I leave it in your trusty hands to question, question, question...don't worry, that will be a good thing...promise! Honey Child!! (just the perception of a very concerned retired worker bee!)

Much ado over nothing. Jen Psaki explained what he meant:

“The message he was sending,” she said, answering a question about it while traveling to Mentor, Ohio, with reporters on Air Force One, “is if you don’t like the policies, if you don’t like the plan that Gov. Romney is putting forward, if you think that’s a bad deal for the middle class, then you can go to the voting booth and cast your ballot. It’s nothing more complicated than that.”

It's just the Neocons trying to make a mountain out of a Mole Hill

Ahh yes Steve...Neocon--schmeocon...progressive-proschmessive... I think you cannot put a "rose" on REVENGE!!!....nothing more complicated than many terms used "change".."redistribution"..."fundamentally transform"...how simplified you make the term "revenge".. Perhaps after four years and a steady smug and self serving idealogue focus on what is really in the works all along are now coming home to roost and finally raising many RED flags. There is no doubt that more perceptive focus by the citizens should be applied. Much ado about nothing you say..and walk away. Interesting!! Revenge, is revenge, is revenge and hardly is used by mistake when spewed forth in so-called error or so-called misunderstanding by an alumnus of an elite university. Please, lets not "spin" shall we. I think we can safely say that our current President says exactly what he means and means exactly what he says. Deciphering is the key!!! And anyone who thinks otherwise has been drinking a doubled down elixer recipe!!! Just the perception of a very, very concerned retired workerbee!!!

It wasn't in error or a misunderstanding. You are just trying to make something out of it which it isn't.

Don't you have bigger conspiracies to pontificate on like "Elvis Lives", "Obama is a Kenyan" or perhaps the whole Neocon fabrication of events that they think occurred in Benghazi.

There you go again Steve. Running all around Robin's Barn..."Elvis Lives"..."Obama is a Kenyan"...but please lets not go to Benghazi my little lamb. If you think for one minute it was not what it was...you are in lala land and should be absolutely ashamed of yourself. If you think all the garbaage that was fed to us by Rice, Clinton and Obama (especially at the UN for God Sake) you are pathetic. Twist and turn many things to suite yourself, but don't make a complete fool of yourself by attempting to put a "rose" upon the bastardly butchery and sodomization of our poor Americans in Benghazi and then the bastardly lies in followup by your man in the White House. It was bastardly..no matter what side of the fence you are on and we will learn the truth....although, the truth is self-evident. What the hell else is there to learn my little honey child??? I pray that some of our folks are not in bed with the enemy!!! Now take that and run with it my little angel.

The prose is too precious. The blandishments and syrup do not cover the fact that Ms. Lorna Doom is one angry lady.

Well Ike - with that frothy response one can assume you don't give a "rat's fuzzy butt"...since you apparently feel so very safe and itzy, bitzy comfortable in your little ole world.
Am I angry...you bet your sweet a*ss I am and I might suggest that you and everyone else who is not a victim of the dummy-down education system, should be as well, honey child.

The non-sequitur referring to education notwithstanding, what on earth are you talking about?

You are actually more lucid in attack mode.

Gee Ike...I'm sorry I lost you! Attack...aschmack...get real honey child...the manner in which I have expressed what I interpret to be a very sad future for our great country doesn't come close to a verbal "attack" darling. Not really sure where you are coming from, but it appears that the prose used by our President is more to your liking. You don't seem to have any issue with "revenge." But, that may change in the not too distant future when you begin to realize what "revenge" he is talking about.

Oh, OK. You are talking about the end-time of the American republic that began when President Obama was re-elected last week. Apparently, you seized on a sound bite--actually better described as a byte http://bit.ly/Zee9cz-- and your favorite candidate's reaction to it as the theme for your Lorna Doom piece.

What the empowered wing of the GOP has in mind for the particular group people the President was addressing (viz. the Republican Party platform http://bit.ly/VbUcUm) may entail political revenge. I call it "throwing my vote like a brick," me in the street, you in your house.

Ha,ha,ha,....so that is how you interpret my concern with the term "revenge" coming from the mouth of our President....how interesting those "rose colored glasses" are when conveniently put in place.

Abstruse, Lorna, still again. Actually, I am trying to piece your argument together.

When your reader does not apprehend your meaning, it should make some slight bell go off. You do, in fact, have some enthusiasm for your writing, and you are ambitious.

Abstruse you say...mmmm...Sorry you are having difficulty. As for a "bell" going off...it did and so I espouse my concerns to another who's vision regarding my concern may be more narrowly focussed..who knows. And then what? What do you want me to say, honey child? We can always go back to the meaning of 'REVENGE." And where one believes the darling man really wants to go with it...mmmmm.
