Oh yeah...under his administration...Osama died at the hands of Seal Team 6.
And he avoided any military action involving Syria.

By the time Obama is out of office he will have run up more debt than all presidents that came before him combined. Just think about that. That includes all the money that was borrowed for the Civil War, WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq. The sad fact is that we have nothing to show for his profligate spending. At least the money that was spent on the WPA during the Great Depression had some lasting impact. To this day there are still buildings and schools and bridges built by the WPA (and this is approx. 80 years later).
Yet we have nothing to show for Obama's massive debt (except a broken Obamacare website). The most recent news reports are saying that there was only a week of testing prior to its launch. Think about it more testing probably went into the Hungangels website than went in the the Obamacare site.

I guess it hinges on what one expected from Obama.
I'm not a fan; I'm not a fan of any politician. As they serve a specific function -- in an overall system.
And, yes, one should praise him when he does good stuff. Like affirming his support for gay marriage.
I think that Osama bin Laden should've been arrested and detained. And put on trial. Just my opinion. (The British journalist Robert Fisk said that everything we know about the Osama raid is a lie.... Well, will the truth ever emerge? Who knows.)
I'm not a fan of Obama's drone wars, his war on the press, his overall treatment of Chelsea Manning etc, etc....
Our Founders wanted the President to do two simple tasks. Be the top commander in times of war. And to execute the will of Congress. And they wanted Congress to have the bulk of the power. I mean, we've gone astray from what the Founders envisioned for the U.S. government. Again, Congress is supposed to have the bulk of the power. But now the executive is almost King-like. And this isn't an attack on Obama. I mean, President Cheney -- :) -- concentrated more power in the executive. And of course Congress is letting this happen.
I merely see Obama as a continuation of Bush. Again, he's merely part of the system, the structure, as it were.
Liking Obama is fine. I can't change your mind. And wouldn't attempt to.
Again, I'm not a fan of any politician....
Politics is about power. And politicians are weary of other institutions, as it were, that minimize their power.

Just think about that.
Every thinking person knows that the debt means nothing unless it's compared to the relative wealth and the reliability of the debtor. In this case the relative wealth is measured by the GDP. (Perhaps you should actually take the time to consider nyprod's question, "Did you ever stop to ask yourself why it is that the U.S. has unlimited credit?") The pressing problem at present is that our reliability is being currently being undermined by the reckless antics of the Tea Party.

Keep in mind, I like Obama, I didn't vote for him, because I don't vote. I would've voted for him if I wanted to, to make sure that that dillfucker Chet Meatly?...damn what was his name...ughh, it's so hard to rememb...Biff Chutney? Spud Nutly?....MITT ROMNEY!! THAT Emmy Award winner!!!....I'd vote for Obama to keep Chuck Steakley out of office. But I knew Obama would've won.
Lesser of two evils, is what I'm sayin....
And, to give credit where credit is due. Obama, albeit has had some goofs ( which Prez hasn't? ) but he's done some good. He's also had the great opportunity to show the American people how infantile, brain-dead, and petty the right side is.
:)

I'm just curious why you don't have a desire to vote?
Hell, up in Chicago even the dead are civic minded enough to vote, and some of the live ones are concerned enough to vote 2 or 3 times.
Re: What would you do if crazed fundamentalist republicans took over the country
That movie with Kevin Costner, something about voting and that voting counts...it's just a movie. Makes for a great story but popular vote really doesn't mean anything. The electoral votes are the ones that count and we have no real say with that.
I don't vote because as a TRANNY...what "real" rights do I have? Transgender people are really the last minority in this world ( unless a new lesser human sub-species comes outta the woodwork ) and we have no protective/supportive rights.
Yes, I am white, and I look female, but that's not enough in the eyes of state and federal gov't. I live in Texas because it's cheap to live here. If I could afford it, Jamie and I would absolutely live in California but alas, California, even in the shittiest parts of LA and Bakersfield costs too much just to live and try to survive.

The above post is total silliness. I realize that some people are lazy, but this is too much.
LA is expensive but if two of you are sharing an apartment it should be doable. However, I suppose it would require one or both of you to have a job. And don't whine that you could not get a job. I dated two TS chicks out in LA and both had regular civilian employment (one girl even had two jobs).
As for voting (and I really should not encourage you to vote) whether the State or Federal government identifies you as a tranny or something else, who cares? If you don't like something at least try to change the system.
In my mind there is nothing worse than someone who sits on their hands and then complains how bad things are.

You don't seem to understand where I am coming from good sir...
Jamie and I can barely afford the Texas apartment we currently live in. We just barely get by. Here in Texas, for a tranny like Jamie and myself ( who have a very public image ) would find it extremely hard, here in Texas, to obtain and maintain a "9-5". You really can't compare your 2 TS girls "you know" who live in LA with Jamie and I who live in Texas. Way different ballparks.
The voting issue, is not an issue of "not being able to" and/or "having trouble to" vote because "I r shemale". It's an issue with my personal stance. I can easily go to the booth and vote, not a problem. But with this past election, I chose not to vote because first of all, I know that it won't matter, and second, I had a really good feeling that Rip Scrotley wouldn't have won. He looked like a jackass in every debate. He really had no chance with the Democratic majority backing and vote playing against him.
You think I complain of how things are? HAHAHAHA
You think I sit on my hands? HAHAHAHA
Before you make assumptions and accusations, perhaps you should get to know me better.
I work my ass and cock off for your pleasure good sir, and everyone else.
I have already held several medial schmoe jobs, served in the U.S. Navy, drove 18 wheelers cross country, and NOW, I have the best career I have ever had. I really do enjoy my job, even though sometimes it's hard to get by, I still persevere everyday to provide you ( and all ) with quality porn and interactivity on cam. Since last winter, I have been busting my ass to build up a surplus of content to start up my own solo site through Grooby, and very soon ( like 1-3 wks ), my site will launch. Then, and only then ( if I get a good amount of members ) Jamie and I will be able to easily pay all bills each month and possibly ( hopefully ) have enough after to put aside for our future.
I really do not complain much except for the occasional trolls that pisses me off and maybe that I'm almost out of lube ( which makes for a difficult cam show ) ( and spit only lasts a short while... ). The thing about politics that I complain about is that not a lot of people LISTEN and UNDERSTAND enough to realize and comprehend what issues are at hand... BUT that's it... I really just work and keep myself busy and continue to be productive.
