Are we all talking about the same Obama?
The guy who spent 5 trillion of our dollars ( chinese money actually) in just 3 years.
That's what democrats do: They tax and they spend.
I haven't worked the last 2 years. Come this november, I am voting Newt.
ps: the guy has a smooth voice - I'll give him that. He can try for the X factor next year.
LOL...No...But I can't imagine any brothas in Park City either. I think the operative word here flabby is "game" . When you shill for dollars, you owe somebody something ( hint hint...Keystone Pipeline) And in case all you Obama sycophants haven't noticed while you were buying the common man 99% narrative politely and willingly spoon fed to you by every news media in the country......this guy is deeper in Wall Street's pocket that a gold plated bill clip. Hell he's got half of Wall Street as his advisors, and you fools think he's lookin' out for you. lmao. . But believe what you wanna believe.....not my place to change your mind.... I do find it instructive that nearly every defense I hear by Obama, or his followers on this board always invariably invloves blaming someone, or something else for his failures. This thread is a perfect example....George Will calls him "Alibi Ike"...lmao. I think I'll start using that !!

presidential BHO vs the open marriage Nude Gin-grinch ?
"Newt Gingrich is a stupid person's idea of what a smart person sounds like."
Paul Krugman
Nude Gin-grinch quotes:
"There is a gay and secular fascism in this country that wants to impose its will on the rest of us." (2008)
"What if he [Obama] is so outside our comprehension, that only if you understand Kenyan, anti-colonial behavior, can you begin to piece together [his actions]?" (2010)
“The idea that a Congressman would be tainted by accepting money from private industry or private sources is essentially a socialist argument.”
“The problem isn’t too little money in political campaigns, but not enough.”
“She isn’t young enough or pretty enough to be the President’s wife.”
Speaking of his ex-wife. See, he's sexist, but maybe that's the appealing thing about him?
Which is it President Gin grinch?
"I would just say that if Governor Romney would like to give back all the money he’s earned from bankrupting companies and laying off employees over his years at Bain that I would be glad to then listen to him. I’ll bet you $10, not $10,000, that he won’t take the offer."
or
“Frankly, Governor Romney in his career has created more jobs than the entire Obama cabinet combined, so he could actually talk about it.”

I would not vote Republican if I was a US citizen, but speaking as an outsider I don't think that George W Bush was as bad as Richard Nixon, whom I believe to have been the worst US President since 1945, setting aside the Presidency of Gerald Ford.
There are achievements on record, assuming you believe them to have been positive achievements: the Environmental Protection Act of 1970, and the opening of diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China are two examples. The failures are monumental: mass slaughter and humiliation in south-east Asia, indirect collusion in the overthrow of a democratically elected government in Chile in 1973; support for the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974 leading to the de facto separation of a country that remains divided to this day; the military and financial support given by the USA to South Africa, Joseph Mobutu in Zaire, and Jonas Savimbi in Angola in their campaigns to derail the 'Marxist' revolutions in Angola and Mozambique, wars which trashed both countries, but which didn't stop the USA buying oil from 'Marxist' Angola thereafter -and all this from a man who referred to black people as Jiggies and spent less than a day in Africa in his entire Presidency. The crisis in Iran began under the Nixon Presidency; the revolution in Afghanistan that has led to nearly 40 years of war began under the Nixon Presidency, the Nixon Presidency never once campaigned for democracy in the Middle East, preferring to deal with one autocrat after another.
And on top of that, Nixon, through the Watergate burglary and subsequent cover-up, brought shame and disgrace on the Office of the President.
The decline that George Bush presided over had set in years before, its primary architect was Ronald Reagan; structural changes to the world economy no longer benefit the USA, and the Bush era undoubtedly made mistakes on financial regulation, taxation, and catastrophic foreign entanglements that have damaged the national economy, but historically, there have been worse Presidents.
My ranking of the Presidents since 1945 looks like this:
1. Eisenhower
2. Clinton
3. Carter
4. Truman
5. Kennedy
6. Johnson
7. George H Bush
8. George W Bush
9. Reagan
10. Nixon
11. Ford
And Republican's make up their own history
Flat out lie about facts and numbers!
Even when you show them a chart, Fox news has brain washed them into believing in the Easter Bunny basically
In CANADA they banned Fox news, because they have a law you can't LIE on the news!
Wow what a concept!
Republican's with the help of Fox News, Glen Becks, and Rush - convince middle class and poor class, some how they are for them??
When everything they do is for the 400 rich families
I mean it's fucked up a waitress pays more in her taxes than a multi-millionaire
The Republicans have no job plan and no plan to fix the economy
Besides steering it into the rich get rich and the poor get poorer
Wake up people!
If you aren't making a million a year, how do you stand with them?
While they eat off gold plates, you don't have a job!
Republicans want to get rid of unemployment, because if you don't have a job, you're lazy!
The "job creators" are making record salaries people! Some CEO's make a millions A MONTH!
So why aren't they hiring? Oh right cause their too busy signing their own checks for millions.
And one party wants to keep unemployment, social security for our old people, and help the middle class. At the same time they take deals to make themselves rich?
Guess which party that is? It sure the hell isn't the Republicans!
And economist have said time and time again ignorant people! If Obama hadn't spent the money he has we would of never got out of recession even with all the tax cuts in the world!
Both parties have their faults! But one is more evil than the other! One wants to get rich, while still keeping people with food on their table. The other wants it to be RICH and POOR.
Republicans look at Newt and Mitt and think they must know what their doing they are rich! They have showed time and time again they have no empathy for the middle class or poor. I swear people only look at the "cliffs notes" on the Republicans. Or what Fox news tells them!
I can only assume onmyknee and the man out of the job for two years must be millionaires. Congrats to you boys :)
But one is out of a job and blaming Obama for that?
But didn't the Republicans say if you don't have a job and you aren't rich - blame yourselves?
Oh right and Newt wants to put janitors out of work for kids
So even less adults working to provide for their family
Wow
A lot of small business owners in the U.S. dislike regulation. They simply find it annoying.
And Republicans champion the small business owner. They've cornered that market, so to speak.
Ya know, Republicans are looking out for the small business owner. A lot of Tea Party people are small business owners. They've hardware stores or restaurants. And, again, find, say, health inspectors a nuisance, as bothersome.
Now the Republican Party have successfully catered to them by saying: we want less regulation to serve the interests of small business owners. Lisa, there are reasons why people vote Republican. Plus the choices are profoundly limited. Well, look at Congress: they've a 9 percent approval rating. So, who are you supposed to vote for, eh? And, too, both so-called political parties are funded by the same corporate interests.
A lot of conservatives in the States have been fed, well, a steady diet of: there are two classes in the U.S. Not the super-rich and everyone else. But the ordinary/average American and the snobbish intellectual liberal elite. Obama is seen -- and made to be seen -- as representing the snobbish intellectual liberal elite. So, people are thinking, why would I vote for someone like him?
The overwhelming problem in American politics (I don't know if Canada has this problem) is the corporate money that imbues or fills the coffers of both parties. Corporations run our government. Hence we had the Tea Party movement. With people having legitimate grievances over the tight and cozy relationship between big government and big business. And the same with the Occupy movement. Ya know, Americans want THEIR government back!
You know something I get a headache from reading both sides of this. Here is the truth. Both parties made this mess. If you don't think so, you are delusional. Our last two presidents put this country trillions of dollars in debt. One republican, one democratic.
Now a word from the late great George Carlin.

And you tranny fuckers who are Republican should be ashamed of yourselves!
To support a party that see us as abominations etc....
DISGUSTING
Actually it is the Republicans who tax and spend. Under Bush and Regan taxes went down for the richest 1% and up for the rest of us. The Republicans and Bush and Regan had the largest increase in spending of any presidents to date, even more than Obama. Do some research on Bush and you will see that he is the worse tax and spend president of all time.
I love the fact that he was singing Al Green.
Shit My President is Black.
I'll make that my new ringtone, lol
Kelly is 1000% right. How can you be a LBGT supporter and a repub.
That's like 2+2=Jello. It doesn't compute.
The Repub party has nothing to offer me as a Black man hence I am a Dem. Would I ever vote Repub, sure I would. It is about the best person. Not just for my interest but a person that will have America's interest.
Small Business is looked out by whom?
Sad part is that people see what they want. Obama doesn't get credit for anything.
Funny how folks forget how it felt to have Lehman disappear overnight and have Goldman, Citi & JPMorgan saying, "you know all that money we are supposed to have in case shit happens, well we don't and the entire Financial System may crash in the a week or two." We were losing hundreds of thousands of jobs a month! Now we aren't and things aren't booming but we have come a long way. Yes small business is suffering but I don't hear small business owners around complaining about regulations. They are complaining about customers! If there were enough people in the stores buying their problems would mostly be gone. Customers/Healthcare are the real problems for a "real small business owner" not regulation (must I remind you of JoethePlumber, did he even own a business & was made the poster boy last election). Sure regulation is a pain in the ass and can be streamlined, but some is needed to ensure stability & equality.
And Repubs pass just as much regulation on Small business as Dems. All of congress love Big business, Banks, Healthcare, Tech, Equity firms, Unions.
Try looking at facts, There has been some deregulation, not on the small business side but financial/banking de-regulation. This allows banks to do just about anything with your money commercial & investment banks combined and years later, Financial meltdown.
As Americans most of you have don't even know what's in the constitution.
What's worse is that bills that the people you elected don't even care enough to read before passing (SOPA is just one example). Congress has staff that does most of the work and inform them of what is in a bill. WTF?
Self responsibility is something that we have been losing for a long time.
And why would I be proud to have a Prez Newt that has been charged with Ethics violations, cheats, on his 3rd wife, was a lobbyist (not officially a lobbyist, he just got millions for his charming boyish looks).
No president can change America, I was an ass to think Obama would be able to.
He's a Dem in a split congress. Congress makes the laws, if you are unhappy with America tell congress not your Pres.
And for those who sweat, eat, sleep & nut off to the constitution like it & the folks who wrote it are Jesus. You do realize that they were slave owners right? They were not perfect.
The words "slave" or "slavery" do not exist in the Constitution. However, slavery is referred to in a couple of places. For one thing, there was the 3/5 Compromise where every 5 slaves counted as 3 people in terms of apportionment for the House of Representatives. Further, the government was given the power to restrict the slave trade. Finally, there was a section where it says that if people held to service or labor (slavery) in one state escape them must not be freed by the laws of another state.
Let's compromise on human rights for other people. Let's compromise saying it's OK for US companies to get "cheap labor" again in Mexico & Asia. I can't remember when I had fruit that wasn't imported. I can't remember the last time I looked at my clothing tag and it said made in America. The truth is we compromise when it comes to greed.
How about real compromise. Conservatives don't want abortion. I'm fine with that except in the case of rape & incest. But if you want 16 yr olds to have a baby then you need to open up more adoption agencies and make it easier for Americans to adopt yes including gay couples or stop complaining about having to pay more for the "welfare" of others.
You want the border secure sure, I'm down with that. Although the border we are all talking about is the one with all the poor folks, Mexico. How many discussions have you heard about securing the Canadian border with a wall? I saw bring the troops home and put them to work securing the south border. Build bases/posts along the border. 50,000-80,000 troops stretching along the border seems pretty secure to me. Hell you can get construction folks who are suffering from the home building market some more work building it. May make more sense then a wall. Not sure if a wall has ever stopped anyone.
Fact is that both sides are using the American people. And the American people need to realize this ain't Mayberry anymore. There are folks around who need help and helping them only makes this country stronger. This is a much different world with Global issues. Maybe it is me seems to make sense that we pull together instead of apart. Why does it take 9/11 for people to be unselfish. To have a sense of community and solidarity.
Sorry for the long post but shit folks. Division only makes us weaker.
Every Black person doesn't hate White people & every White person isn't a racist if they say something insensitive. Every Poor person isn't Black. In some states 80% of the people on welfare is White. Poverty isn't about color. It's about not having access to jobs, healthcare & credit. Poor doesn't have a race.
hbgdon the country is fucked either way. atleast this guy isnt some scumbag rich white jerkoff hiding his money in offshore accounts. pbama has a personailty which is needed to be a president. its not his fault people fight him over the stupidest shit. he will again, i dont give a fuck what any pole says. the republicans are all garbage, white peoples days are numbered in this country. im white and not trying to be racist, as matter of a fact i dont care how it sounds, they will not have enough votes to get elected. you do know the us is over 40 percent hispanic right? white retard romney has no shot. altho i would vote for gingrich hes a nut
To be fair, that's not just Democrats... that's all of so called decent society. Almost all viable politicians (except some in Nevada) will be opposed to prostitution. When it spreads into middle class neighborhoods people will complain and politicians will respond. None of that will change until the general population stops believing in virgin births and all seeing father figures up in the sky.
Well there is that Obama Sex Doll. . . :)
Thanks god that there's Obama. When there was that criminal of Bush, thousands of americans where slaughtered like pigs in Iraq and Afghanistan, only to fatten up Bush, Dick Cheney, Halliburton and Co.
Hope those dumb lobotomized americans that voted for Bush have learnt the lesson now.
Smooth? He shaves his balls?
if any other president burst into song, they would be the butt of every late night joke. sigh
@TheGeneral completely agree. Most republicans I talk to have never experienced actual poverty, and their definitions and attitudes towards it lack anything resembling compassion. People are enlightened to their own opinions, but there is actually such a thing as being as being wrong.
And in agreeing with Kelly's post, how can you feel positively toward members of the LGBT community and support those who treat them as second-class citizens? It's hypocritical and ignorant.
Obama is really smooth.
He has not (nor intends to) closed Club Gitmo. He has not secured our southern border. (When an unnamed State's Governor met with him and spoke about that issue; he ordered signs to be posted around the drug corridor warning Americans to stay out.) When one State decided to take steps to secure the safety of it's citizens, he filled lawsuits against them. While he was looking for "someone's ass to kick" over the BP oil leak, he handed BP millions in under-the-table contracts. He has taken over private industries and institutions, forcing his restructuring down their throats. He has engaged in war without either the consent or approval of Congress. (When Congress ordered him to report before them and explain his actions, he thummed his nose and told them no.) He has with a swipe of his pen, without due process of law, deprived an American citizen of his Constitutional Rights and even his very life. He recently authorized the military to arrest and detain, possibly indefinitely without trial, American citizens in America whom may be suspected of having connections to terrorrism.
We see what we want to see.
We believe what we want to believe.
If you actually followed this issue you know he intended to and he tried. But the two houses have to approve and a State has to be found that will accept the prisoners. After much obstructionism, Gitmo remains. Does Obama still intend to get rid of it? In this state of deadlock intent is irrelevant.Quote:
He has not (nor intends to) closed Club Gitmo.
Of course not. He hasn't secured the northern border either. Nor has he stopped the arms trade across the southern border that certain gun toting Americans like to indulge in. He can't, that would somehow be against the 2nd Amendment. I forget how that works, but I'm sure someone will explain it to me.Quote:
He has not secured our southern border. (
That's one way of looking at it. I call it bullshit..."safety of it's citizens" my ass.Quote:
When one State decided to take steps to secure the safety of it's citizens...
Obama has been called a socialist, a fascist, a Kenyan anti-colonialist revolutionary....my god he's even been called a centrist. I'm afraid the latter is exactly what he is... a slightly left of center centrist. From my perspective, that's a better place to be than any of the other A-holes, greedy bastards and utter clowns running for the office.
disregarding the blanket 'it gets better video,' what has obama done for transgendered folks?

Yea...I have some friends who own a farm up near Plattsburgh and they're constantly having problems with Canucks running through their cow fields trying to escape the 4% unemployment in Canada to get to the US for a better life...
..Well thanks to Fast and Furious, Americans are not the only ones toting automatic weapons down there in Nogales. Lots of people forgot how that worked. I know...I saw the hearings.
