President Obama recounts an anecdote about the 2004 Democratic National Convention at White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs' final press briefing:
"The most challenging problem was what tie to wear. And this went up to the very last minute. I mean, 10 minutes before we were about to go on stage we were still having an argument about ties. I had bought five, six ties. And Michelle didn't like any of them, Axelrod didn't like a couple of them -- him being one of the best dressed men in the world. So we really valued his opinion.
"And then somebody -- I don't remember who it was -- turned and said, 'You know what? What about Gibbs' tie? What about Gibbs' tie? That might look good.' And, frankly, Robert didn't want to give it up because he thought he looked really good in the tie. But eventually he was willing to take one for the gipper, and so he took off his tie, and I put it on. And that's the tie that I wore at the national convention."
Poster Comment:
Obama wishes he was loved like the Gipper. But he isn't and never will be.

'Stone is re-instating me right now.'
Well if you are in state, that state ain't Oregon or I'd already be hearing the police car sirens by now.

I tore into the site admin about how fucked upped the site was, particularly how to navigate. I also went after Bob_J and those folks can't forget it.
I think there is something wrong with all these chit-chat sites. Every stinkin' one of them eventually bans me and all I ever did was act cool, calm and rational.

"Okay, he can spell."
And as a Wicca practitioner, I can spell cast. Wait until he sneezes next and his balls fall off.
#47. To: diva betsy ross (#42)
"What did you do?"
He's been tipping lousy in the local tittie bars. Why else?
#48. To: Ferret Mike, Fred Mertz (#44)
Don't push Stone too far. He has the maejiick touch called admin. Fred and I want to buy this website from Stone, BTW. Fred is waiting for Todd to pay back the money and then we can give Stone a cashier's check for one buck.
#49. To: Kafir (#48)
I'm like Charlie Brown...
Todler will pay me back!
One of these years.
#50. To: Kafir (#45)
lol- buck. Be nice- it is a total pain in the butt to run these sites- and they are all chitchat. THAT is what we are doing now. Bob should be able to take care of himself- BUT- you can't just tear into people..
Unless someone takes it realworld- just put people who bug you on ignore- or don't read their posts.
It makes other posters uncomfortable if you start brawling with someone out of the blue.. I know it is difficult sometimes, with certain people - (trust me, I know that) but unless Bob was poking at you- you should just ignore him. If he was poking at you, then the admin should be fair and tell you both to take it to a mudpit.

"Don't push Stone too far."
I make no promises if he stands too close to the edge of a viewpoint at the Grand Canyon. When it comes to some opportunities confess; I'm weak. I have no impulse control.
#52. To: Fred Mertz (#49)
"One of these years."
Yeah, in a couple of years measured in Neptune's orbit of the sun.
#53. To: diva betsy ross (#50)
Blah...blah...blah...
You bore me.
#54. To: diva betsy ross (#50)
Bob should be able to take care of himself- BUT- you can't just tear into people..
He is a self-aggrandizing whore. He never told you or many others but at one time he was the chief moderator in charge of the FR goon squad. I should know.
He slanted his posts about all he knows about FR over at TBF but he never told anyone that ittsy-bitsy little piece of data.
I know because he begged for my resume to become one of his underlings.
#55. To: Kafir (#54)
Oh, I believe you. I have no doubt of what you claim.
#56. To: diva betsy ross (#55)
Thank you for the confidence. BTW, I can retrieve the data from FR if you think I am lying or exagerrating.
What strikes me as funny is Bob_J got his his ass banned last year from FR. He got what was coming to him playing around with the concept of an inner sanctum otherwise known as a goon squad.
The man stinks up everywhere he goes because of his authoritarian personna; he is the anti-thesis of liberty and freedom.
#57. To: Kafir (#56)
Didn't Bob J and BadJoe invent the FReeperthon?
#58. To: Ferret Mike (#57)
No.
Badjoe did. That is a fact.
#59. To: A K A Stone, Ferret Mike (#11) (Edited)
I never knew Reagan was a spokesman for cigarettes.
I guess Obama is just attempting to imitate something about Reagan. He sure as hell doesn't have the intelligence to do anything else.
#60. To: Kafir (#58)
I know he claims he was a co-inventor and did it after Joe and he ran FReeperstuff for a couple of years. But that's Bob J for you, he'd claim he invented the Internet if he could get away with it.
#61. To: Fred Mertz, Ferret Mike (#28)
Stoner can't spell dyed.
Neither of you two tards are very sharp.
#62. To: Ferret Mike, Fred Mertz (#31)
so he can day what he wants
Dullards as a matter of fact!
#63. To: A K A Stone, Kafir (#24)
Just yesterday I told lucysmom I was sorry for something I said.
Yes you did and thanks for the ping.

#64. To: Kafir (#58)
I wonder if they ever figured out I was the one who had that Fresno picnic busted as a hate group meeting by Fresno Human Right Committee after playing Sandra Duffy like a rube on FReepermail and starting expose threads on various Cali Indymedia sites.
I'd like to see Bob J do that one.
#65. To: Ferret Mike (#60)
But that's Bob J for you, he'd claim he invented the Internet if he could get away with it.
Mike, you and I have chatted on the Internet since 1998, correct? I think we first met on FR.
Have you noticed how I have never talked bad about Jim? In 1999, BadJoe and WillaJ (BadJoe's wife) started the threads for bringing in a few bucks to Jim because JR was about to go bankrupt. That effort kicked off a number of annual events so FR could stay on-line.
I only talk bad about JR's son, John, because that little punk makes all kinds of clones giving the impression that FR is LARGER THAN IT REALLY IS.
#66. To: Kafir (#65)
I found FR after chasing after a disruptor who was a pain in the ass on the Time.Com/Politics site and was calling for a FReep flying monkey style of that site.
I did start chatting with you about then, yes. I was on FR for several years as 'ferret,' but you knew that. ;-)
#67. To: Kafir (#65) (Edited)
I liked those days and miss the old Don Morgan ASH ALERT!s and Trixie's 'Eagales UP! war cries.
The new bunch are so... bland compared to the folks that used to be there.
I miss Blackie too, who was local to me and used to have coffee with me at Saturday Market in Eugene.

You are so clever and such a liar, mustelid.
#69. To: Kafir (#65) (Edited)
"I only talk bad about JR's son, John, because that little punk makes all kinds of clones giving the impression that FR is LARGER THAN IT REALLY IS."
That Guy really hates me and is still death on any accounts starting in Eugene, Oregon. He spotted me once taking pictures of Jim, him and others when they were picketing in protest of anti-war protesters in Fresno.
He tries to lead a charge of fat old FReepers on me. Gee, it was so hard to drive away from that lightweight brigade.
#70. To: Ferret Mike (#69)
This is the problem of any small company when relatives are introduced as a full time employee. How Jim is tolerant of that punk's shenanigans is beyond me.
But FR is fraudulent from an operational perspective. It doesn't require 400K/yr to operate irrespective of staff considerations. The founder really did a good job but it has devolved.
#71. To: Kafir (#70)
Devolved and has lost it's way. Bob said he was booted after Jim found he was posting on politisInk and part of JimRob and JohnRob's problem is they are so ruthless and careless in how and what they ban for.
They are having trouble finding focus issue/cause anchors to keep the dog and pony show going, and with the new ways information is being passed around the Internet which are far more low overhead than their operation, I don't expect to see FR for many more years.
#72. To: Ferret Mike (#71)
I don't expect to see FR for many more years.
It'll go the way of liberal talk radio. Fookin airheads are so boring.
#73. To: Ferret Mike, Pinguinite, A K A Stone, Diva Betsy Ross, Fred Mertz (#71)
I don't expect to see FR for many more years.
FR is splintering off as ALL chit-chat channels do.
Liberty Forum was one of the first channels to fracture in 2000; it was the largest chit-chat channel on the planet from REAL posters all over the world. I joined because of John Deere's vision (he died) and at the time, it was required to have a personal invitation .... then unamused invited me to the upstart LibertyPost and later, unamused created FreedomUnderground, and the spin-off there was christine's Freedom4um. Because of TLBSHOW, Stone created LibertysFlame.
They all break up.
Now, TBF is on-line (a possible alternative to FR antics) but it sucks by both user interface and management.

Quite a few of the posters suck too, buckeroo.
#75. To: Ibluafartsky (#74)

And you should look at yourself with a monicker and picture constantly badgering everone you disagree with.
It must suck to be you.
#76. To: Kafir (#75)
It must suck to be you.
Not at all, buckeroo. I only badger, liars, disinformationists and idiots.
#77. To: Ibluafartsky (#76)
I only badger, liars, disinformationists and idiots.
Yet, you don't reveal any data about your world view. You think within your own mind that you have a guaranteed method about public communications.
I may be the most banned poster on the planet on many channels but at least I say my point of view, unrestricted with absurd remarcks such as you.
#78. To: Kafir (#77)
Yet, you don't reveal any data about your world view.I may be the most banned poster on the planet
Evidently you haven't taken the time to look.
You're just a bigger asshole than me. I've been banned from every lib forum that I've posted at.
#79. To: Ibluafartsky (#78)
Your ugly, plagerized picture is all the reason for publick scorn about you. Apparently you don't know how to be tasteful in the sense of communications from even the ground up, much less walking the planet with a serious perspective.
#80. To: Kafir (#79)
Apparently you don't know how to be tasteful in the sense of communications
Your self-righteous, sanctimonious baloney is really quite funny.
#81. To: Ibluafartsky (#80)
Your self-righteous, sanctimonious baloney is really quite funny.
I am impressed that you can spell those polysylables beyond forming a complete sentence. Now, be clear, do you really know what you mean to say?
#82. To: Kafir (#81)
I am impressed that you can spell those polysylables beyond forming a complete sentence.
I'm sure you'd be impressed with anything shiny that jingles.
#83. To: A K A Stone (#0)
Blasphemy.

Blasphemy.
A typo on his teleprompter. It should have read... "Take one for the groper".
