The ..2012.... Political thread
-
He's done most of what he promised and some things will take more time. If you've ever done any local political work you understand. In my community it took over 3 years to defeat a plan to build a Wal Mart on wetlands and on a hurricane evacuation route. Should have been a no brainer right? but no, the nutters will fight no matter how dumb their plans are. You don't change the world in a few days. He's doing a brilliant job.

Eliminating the so-called 'Patriot' Act = still in full force. Ending Persecution of Medical Marijuana Patients = Raids on dispensaries have actually increased, and mounting pressure being brought to bear on Legislators and Governors. Closing Guantanamo = still open. Getting US out of two Wars in the Mideast = now the US is in THREE!

Look at all he's done here http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/obameter/ but a malcontent will always be a malcontent ...so sorry

Obama is 3 times as wise as Quayle...and...you spelled Quayle's name wrong!

Is there a need to debate the intellect of a Constitutional scholar against a guy who was a consistent embarrassment to the U.S.? I'd rather eat a potatoe.

Three times more likely to tell an audience that there are 57 or 58 states in the U.S. and 2 or 3 that he's not been to yet Dan Quayle (I'll take your word) has not come close to making such huge errors in one sentence

All travel-weary politicians have made gaffes in public. With that said: Again... ...Danny boy was a CONSISTENT embarrassment. He was easy on the eyes, though.

Guantanamo might come in handy when the day comes where a real President is elected by the people and cleans up Washington and charges them with treason and puts everyone of the criminal bankers, politician, and past President and Vice President, Insurance Co. and LOBBYIST in there or.... We could we'd drag out the guillotine....with that nice red patina Actually I think I got a great idea. Take a guillotine and take to different location like in front of JP Morgan, Medical Insurance Companies, The Capital and just rotate it. With a big sign Visualize this! Remind them of better times.

I LIKE it!!! Maybe a few thousand regular folks toting signs with stuff like, "A Billion Dollars can be trumped by a 50ยข bullet!" and "Screw me once, screw me twice, but to screw me a Billion times, just ain't nice!"

i voted the obama statment,i'm sure all the presidents knew history.And i dont like how he finds Obama a great president,the fact he is black doesnt mean he is close to the people this is silly,he is like the others.I dont like his love about obama and i dont know why he praise obama
Obama saved the auto industry and my mother's pension. Bush saved the banks who forced people into forclosure even when they could pay for their houses. (I know several that were put in this boat that way). That's why we say Obama is close to the people.
Where to begin. I guess staying blissfully ignorant or spouting propoganda lines is why voters in this country get just what they deserve. Obama is a very nice and likeable man; great smile,....but he did none of those things...or very little else except "look" Presidential and give nice speeches. He acts perturbed that every-day-hard-decision requirements or natural disasters that come along intrude on his "Being Obamaesque." This country is about to go into foreclosure itself, but he can't be part of making any unpopular/hard decisions that need to be made to stave it off. He can't risk not being re-elected. The Bush is pure evil/Obama is God-like is such utter nonsense.

Bush is pure evil. Who brought us to this financial meltdown. Who profited off this war Bush and his family and all the oil companies. Who set the bailout in motion. Clinton might of been responsible for changing Glass Steagall act act but Bush did nothing to stop crime the banks were pulling. Both parties are to blame. I think Bush was smug and looked like a Bully. He came off as not smart and really turned the world against us even more. He attacked Iraq for his oil buddies and because Saddam tried to knock off his dad. Obama is a statesman with more compassion to his people than Bush ever did.. Look at Katrina.. there were a true leader should of shines. He failed miserable.. Bush was a puppet for big oil and banks and insurances companies. Obama as one person has to deal with the effects off all of Bush cronies. There still pulling him down. However he has left the very people who caused these bad economic times in position of power and they should not be. If Elizabeth Warren get in and is not underpowered. She could be a huge plus to get rid of the criminal running Washington. We need a powerful Consumer protection agency. It needs to Trump all other dept. Right the Pentagon runs Washington and all the war profiteers.. Its no brainier why we're out of money. I want to know who sitting on all the money? It went somewhere.

as far as i know he earned a nobel for peace last year,did he stop the war n iraq NO!There are more presidents than obama and bush,what about kenedy?
Kennedy got us deeper into Vietnam (and ordered the assassination of S. Vietnam's president), did almost nothing about civil rights (and actually tried to get Martin Luther King to slow down) and launched an insane, disastrous invasion of Cuba. Obama is not my ideal president by any means, but he's the best one we've had in my adult lifetime.
And Kennedy also snubbed Sammy Davis by not inviting the entertainer to his Inauguration Gala, despite Davis campaigning tirelessly to get the black community registered to vote for Kennedy. Davis was married to a white woman at the time.
