Based on the logic used by most republicans in the last election what you are seeing are the mere effects of the presidency before Obama.
That is all I heard coming out of the election, Bush inherited a shitty economy from Clinton, which means that Obama inherited a shitty economy from Bush. Its a pretty funny argument if you asked me, not one that holds any water or any logical person should believe. Its always the president's fault, the House and Congress are never to blame, ever..
Also that first item on the list makes me LOL. Pull those prices back to the summer of 2008 and they are even with where they are today, I am pretty sure we all know how that went, interestingly enough gas prices in this country plummeted just before the election, I wonder how that could have ever happened..
Cool story, bro.
And how's that vote working out for you?
Likewise, I feel sorry for anybody dumb enough to have fallen for Obama's promises without looking into what the man's real agenda was. Hint: He's accomplishing what he wanted.
I didn't vote McCain/Palin, either. I can't stand McCain, but it's mostly because his politics are indistinguishable from Obama's.
You obviously don't get it, if you think this is because I'm a Republican. I'm not.
Really? No realistic argument about Obama? Runaway national debt, inflationary practices, overreaching the power Constitutionally granted to the government? Those aren't realistic arguments?
Oh, right... Obama voter. I forgot - your grasp of reality is tenuous at best.
It's allowed, but you better be able to back it up. Unfortunately (for you), you can't back the charge of racism up. While it may be (and almost certainly is) true in some cases, in most cases it is not.
You made the charge of racism, I called BS. Now back your charge up or withdraw it... if you be a man.
Yes, I'm sure that DU and HuffPo are totally objective. And I'm glad to hear that you're perfectly happy making drive-bys.
Not really sure how my vote is doing for me, or what you mean. I have seen no ill effects personally by voting for Obama. In Fact all I have personally seen is positive benefits. My taxes have gone down each year based on credits I have received in 2008 and 2009. I know a lot of people who got to take advantage of the home buyers credit too, unfortunately I bought my house in 2006 and I held up my end of the bargain and made my payments as I agreed, so no HBC for me. My STATE voted for McCain, so realistically all I did was contribute to Obamas popularity, my vote had NOTHING to do with him getting elected. We've already been down that road and you won't change my mind on the subject.
Overreaching government, really, that is where we are going? In what regards? The Healthcare bill? I work in the Benefits field and there are lots of people who are thankful that SOMETHING got passed and that it does provide benefits for some people. Is it perfect, certainly not, but health care as a human right is a matter of personal opinion, and there will always be people on both sides of that argument. Obama like it or not has actually done things within his presidency, unlike Bush before him. Aside from Patriot Act please list for me some monumental legislation that came through while Bush was in office, specifically in his first term, or better yet within his first 2 years. No child left behind is a failure, so please don't come back with that.
I voted Obama simply because I did not want to vote McCain, and while I applaud the independent vote, its worthless in a 2 party system.
I didn't charge anyone with racism, run with that all you want. What I said was is that he is disrespected based on his race. Its an opinion, not measurable by fact. Can you disprove that he is not disrespected based on race? Nope, google your brains out but you won't find an answer for that, and I could give a rip if you agree with me or not, its simply a matter of opinion. I could also care less if you think I am a "man" or not based on some post on an internet board. You don't know me personally any more than I know you, so if you want to make judgements based on stuff here so be it, you are allowed, but I am not losing any sleep over it.
I honestly don't have any idea what DU or HuffPo are so I can't really refute those comments. I'm as much a Democrat as you claim to be Republican, and I don't go to politico sites, sorry to burst your bubble. All I want is someone who gets elected to carry out the will of the voters who elected that person.
Translation:
"Mommy - the big bad boys said I'm wrong!!!!"
Dude, grow up and learn how to think for yourself. If you voted for that socialist, then you failed to understand him, or his agenda. Have you read his background, looked at the types of folks he surrounded himself with (especially prior to running for office)?
Tell me - what has he done to QUALIFY to be POTUS? I'm not talking about politically - I'm talking about the life experience he brought to the table. Tell me. He came from one of the most corrupt political subdivisions in this country - and yet you think he's okay???
YOU are the one throwing vague comments out my friend - because many of us here have SPECIFIC issues w/the man - but I notice you avoid addressing those. So don't sit there on your little high pony and pontificate about other boards having "objectivity" - because to this point, you have exhibitted NONE, and if you keep up your line of BS little slaps, one of us is liable to bitchslap yer ass into next week. Now....don't go running away from yer keyboard sayin' someone is threatening you, because I wouldn't need to - I'm speakin' bitchslappin' yer weak-assed little comments, son - you wouldn't be worth messin' with literally, simply because I'm beginnin' to suspect that you ain't what you claim to be.
We get only a handful of questions and answers. Reporter only had seven min total with the POTUS. The whole story is 3 min long including mostly setup, filler, and monologuing by the POTUS and by the reporter. There might be 40 seconds of the interview in there.
Reporter: "Why do you think your so unpopular in TX?" - now that's a sorry question honestly restated that could have been more pointed.
Obama: "We lost by a few percentage points in TX....."
Reporter: "Well you lost by about ten" - Challenging semantics? Really? Honestly Obama has a point. Dallas, Harris and Austin counties would have elected him if they were standing alone.
Obama: "That was wrong".. seems like he had already asked about the shuttle once before.
Reporter: "Was the shuttle not awarded to Houston because of politics?"
Obama: "I just said that was wrong. We had nothing to do with it, the white house had nothing to do with it, there was a whole commission a whole process that's how the decision was made"
Reporter:"You weren't personally involved in the decision?"
Obama: "I just said that wasn't true" - He's denied it three times now. Reporter could have moved on.
Reporter: "Are you going to campaign in TX or is the state written-off?"
Obama: I never write off any states.............."
Reporter interrupting: "You're not going to write it off?"

Yeah Yeah we know, "Blame Bush"!!
actually my lil friend, thats not true. it was an "ALL DUMOCRATIC CONGRESS" since 2008 and an "All DUMOCRATIC" Senate since 2010 F--KING everything up with O-BASTARD!!
that would have been possibly because ol BUSH wrote an executive order to lift the Drilling ban in approx 7/2009 and soon after we saw the price go from 4$ a gal to 2$ gal in about 9 months.....and just imagine using your point that gas was low when O-DUMBA$$ was elected and the Congress and Senate are ALL DUMBO'S, How again is it not "Your" administrations fault gas prices are high??
Yes I am fully aware of the people he was associated with. You are obviously talking about Jeremiah Wright (sp?) and the other Domestic terrorist, Bill Airs (sp?) You clearly bought the farm that the Republican Agenda was selling during that campaign. Are those getting specific enough for you?
Well specifically he met the Age Requirement, He met the citizenship requirements (or maybe you are birther too, I suspect) and most importantly he was elected by the voters of the United States. I didn't know that there were any other statutory requirements that someone HAS to have in order to be the POTUS. He also teamed up with some people who had a lot of Washington expereince, I don't know that the same could have been said for his opponent. The leading candidate on the Right side of things these days has even less political expereince than Obama had in 2008, but he's got a pretty successful TV show, maybe that is enough to get elected, who knows.
I also LOVE the comments about socialism, you guys have no idea what you are talking about, and use the "socialist" comment about a vaugely as anything I have ever seen. Please tell me about your extensive knowledge of a socialist society, or a socialist leader. I am sure that Clinton, Carter and every other Democrat was a socialist too right? They all wanted everyone to be equal and they wanted all of us to live in poverty together. Uh, Bush inherited a surplus economy from the socialist known as Bill Clinton, and then proceeded to run us into the ground and into a baseless "war on terror". But your right, all Democrats are Socialists!
I am not worried about being bitchslapped because I don't a rip one way or the other. If you need to satisfy all of your anger problems by becoming a keyboard commando, go for it. Call me a socialist communist if you want because I voted for Obama, I don't care. Last I checked its a free country and we don't all have to vote the same way, and we all don't have to agree on everything, but I am not going to question someone's manhood because they don't beleive in the same things I do.
You did a good job and editing what I said, kind of like the interview that the reporter did, you plucked what you wanted people to see and what you wanted to respond to instead of offering the context in which my comments were made. A pretty famous tactic by anyone who wants only thier points to be supported. Its cool though.
Everything you see on TV is true, and the way they edited that interview is EXACTLY how it went down in real life..duh...
i dont know what color your skin is, nor do i care...i can tell you this - as a white male, the only time i think about race is when people like you - or others, inject it into a discussion simply because you have no other crutch to fall on.......that isnt to say that there arent bigoted people in the world, but i know for fact that people of color in this country exercise just as much bigotry and reverse racism on a daily basis, that it really negates the whole argument
here's a newsflash for you - Sarah Palin didn't run for POTUS......McCain did....if you made your decision to vote based on the VP candidate, then I feel sorry for you
I dont think of Obama as the "black president"......I think of him as "the president" and if he does something I agree with, kudo's to him - if he does something I disagree with - then I'll voice my opinion - but please dont come here and tell me that my opinions are based on race.....it's old, its been done ad infinitem, and its worn the EFF out.
The healthcare law, expansion of TSA powers, Obama's signing a reauthorization of the PATRIOT Act, a new war, the real threat of increased taxes... should I go on?
No, they're thankful that a law got passed requiring people buy health insurance. You do realize that's the heart of that law, right? I'd say it's all there is to it, but so much more got packed in. I suggest you go read it sometime.
Health care is a human right? A product is a human right? You're saying that some people have the right to the labors of other people. You know that, right?
No person has the right to the product of another's labor. If you believe that they do, you believe that slavery is moral.
So Obamacare is Obama's PATRIOT Act? I agree.
But what good has Obama accomplished? The "but, Bush!" crap isn't going to fly by the way. I didn't support that guy, either.
2-party system? Really?
Bullshit. It's there in black and white for all the world to see. Just because you're a moron, don't assume I'm one, too.
Here you go:
Very well written sir!!! I really hate when race gets brought into things--when it's not a valid point. Obummer is just out of touch with the real world.
I saw nothing "lippy", "rude", or "uncalled for". Those weren't even tough questions. I see a president getting really defensive and lippy and expecting special treatment.
You are missing the mark here too. Its not democrats, its liberalism. To quote my favorite president: "...the American people would never knowingly vote for socialism; but under the guise of liberalism, they would adopt every fragment of the socialist platform until one day America would be Socialist without knowing how it came about."
I love this part:
"Now, the American people, if you put it to them about socialized medicine and gave them a chance to choose, would unhesitatingly vote against it... Let’s take a look at social security itself. Again, very few of us disagree with the original premise that there should be some form of savings that would keep destitution from following unemployment by reason of death, disability or old age. And to this end, social security was adopted, but it was never intended to supplant private savings, private insurance, pension programs of unions and industries.
Now in our country under our free enterprise system we have seen medicine reach the greatest heights that it has in any country in the world. Today, the relationship between patient and doctor in this country is something to be envied any place. The privacy, the care that is given to a person, the right to chose a doctor, the right to go from one doctor to the other.
But let’s also look from the other side, at the freedom the doctor loses. A doctor would be reluctant to say this. Well, like you, I am only a patient, so I can say it in his behalf. The doctor begins to lose freedoms; it’s like telling a lie, and one leads to another. First you decide that the doctor can have so many patients. They are equally divided among the various doctors by the government. But then the doctors aren’t equally divided geographically, so a doctor decides he wants to practice in one town and the government has to say to him you can’t live in that town, they already have enough doctors. You have to go some place else. And from here it is only a short step to dictating where he will go.
This is a freedom that I wonder whether any of us have the right to take from any human being. All of us can see what happens once you establish the precedent that the government can determine a man’s working place and his working methods, determine his employment. From here it is a short step to all the rest of socialism, to determining his pay and pretty soon your children won’t decide when they’re in school where they will go or what they will do for a living. They will wait for the government to tell them where they will go to work and what they will do.
What can we do about this? Well, you and I can do a great deal. We can write to our congressmen and our senators. We can say right now that we want no further encroachment on these individual liberties and freedoms. And at the moment, the key issue is, we do not want socialized medicine."
Its like it was written today, yet its from 1961.
I saw the same. The POTUS, ought to be perfectly truthful and beyond reproach, should know their facts and respond to questions as asked and not go off an tangents. He was asked a question, answered off the wall and was corrected. Shame on him for not knowing, the facts, and if he did know the facts, shame on him for trying to skirt the issue. Say what you want about Bush.... he never did crap like that.
