Oh didn't you know? Bush was a Godsend, an angel, the paradigm of political perfection compared to Obama.

What is all this Bush talk, you stuck in a time warp? Bush did his damage and left, Obama jumped on the Bush bandwagon, wants his share. Obama has done little or nothing to "Change".

With your delicate way of putting things, I'm sure some people would think you are trying to get into Obama's "inner circle".

No, I will leave that pleasure to those whose nose is already in there. You know, the circle surrounded by two cheeks.

What can you say Ironsides... Gopher misses GW. If Obama gets a second term he will still blame GW for everything and writhe in ecstacy about Obama.

He's one of the flock.

SOME OF YOU WILL APPRECIATE THIS
AND some of you will not.


If any other of our presidents
had doubled the National Debt, which
had taken more than two centuries
to accumulate, in one year,
would You have Approved?

If any other of our presidents
had then proposed to Double
the debt again within 10 years,
would you have approved?

If any other of our presidents
had criticized a State Law that
he admitted he never even read,
would you think that he is
just an ignorant hot Head?

If any other of our presidents
joined the country of Mexico and sued a
State in the United States to force that State
to continue to allow Illegal Immigration,
would you question his patriotism
and wonder who's side he was on?

If any other of our presidents
had pronounced the Marine Corps
as if it were the Marine Corpse,
would you think him an Idiot?

If any other of our presidents
had put 87,000 workers out of work
by arbitrarily placing a moratorium on
offshore oil drilling on companies that have
one of the best safety records of any industry
because one foreign company had an accident,
would you have agreed?



If any other of our presidents
had used a forged document as the
basis of the moratorium that would render
87000 American workers unemployed,
would you support him?

If any other of our presidents
had been the first President to need a
TelePrompTer installed to be able to get through
a press conference, would you have laughed and said
this is more proof of how inept he is on his own and is
really controlled by smarter men behind the scenes?

If any other of our presidents
had spent hundreds of thousands of Dollars
to take his First Lady to a play in NYC,
would you have approved?

If any other of our presidents
had reduced your retirement plan holdings
of GM stock by 90% and given the
unions a majority stake in GM,
would you have approved?

If any other of our presidents
had made a joke at the expense
of the Special Olympics,
would you have approved?

If any other of our presidents
had given Gordon Brown a set of inexpensive
and incorrectly formatted DVDs, when Gordon Brown
had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift,
would you have approved?

If any other of our presidents
had given the Queen of England an
IPod containing videos of his speeches,
would you have thought it to be a
proud moment for America ?

If any other of our presidents
had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia ,
would you have approved?

If any other of our presidents
had visited Austria and made reference
to the nonexistent "Austrian language,"
would you have brushed it off
as a minor slip?

If any other of our presidents
had filled his Cabinet and circle of
Advisers with people who cannot seem
to keep current on their Income Taxes,
would you have approved?

If any other of our presidents
had stated that there were 57 states in
the United States , wouldn't you have had
second thoughts about his capabilities?

If any other of our presidents
would have flown all the way to Denmark
to make a five minute speech about how the Olympics
would benefit him walking out his front door in his
home town, would you not have thought he was
a self-important, conceited, egotistical jerk?


If any other of our presidents
had been so Spanish illiterate as to refer to
"Cinco de Cuatro" in front of the Mexican ambassador
when it was "The 5th of May" (Cinco de Mayo),
and then continue to flub it when he tried again,
wouldn't you have winced in embarrassment?

If any other of our presidents
had burned 9,000 gallons of jet fuel
to go plant a single tree on Earth Day,
would you have concluded he's a Hypocrite?

If any other of our presidents'
Administrations had okayed Air Force One
flying low over millions of people followed by
a jet fighter in downtown Manhattan causing
widespread panic, would you have wondered
whether they actually get what happened on 9-11?

If any other of our presidents
had failed to send relief aid to flood victims
throughout the Midwest, with more people killed
or made homeless than in New Orleans, would you
want it made into a major ongoing Political issue
with claims of racism and incompetence?

If any other of our presidents
had created the positions of 32 Czars
who report directly to him, bypassing
the House and Senate on much of
what is happening in America ,
would you have approved?

If any other of our presidents
had ordered the firing of the CEO
of a major corporation, even though he
had no constitutional authority to do so,
would you have approved?




So, tell me again,
what is it about Obama that
makes him so brilliant and impressive?

Can't think of anything?
Then you'd better start worrying.
He's done all these things in 28 months --
and you have less than 19 months
to come up with an answer.

Every statement and action in this email
is factual and correctly attributable
to Barrack Hussein Obama.
Every bumble is a matter of record
and completely verifiable.

If any other of our presidents
had sat, reading a story book to kindergarten
students, for a photo opportunity, after being told
the most significant attack took place
on American soil, killing 5,000 citizens,
would you worship at his feet?

Apparently, yes.

The IDEAL SITUATION would be to VOTE for the INDIVIDUAL who is right for the JOB and do way with the sport's competition surrounding the political teams :icon_smile: "... HAVE to work together"

And that means to vote for who?

On another thread your fellow Republicans are still blaming Clinton for the mess created by Bush. Why is that OK???

Does this ring a bell to some of you Republicans???

That's not quite what I mean JLM ~ the problem is the continued BLAME CLINTON horse poop that these right wingers always do but how they hate it when anyone returns the favor by putting the blame where it properly belongs - on Bush.

What should he have done, run screaming out of the school yelling the sky is falling? We have automatic responses to what happened, nothing he could have done immediately would have changed anything. He did the only thing a leader could have done, finish talking to the kids, avoid a panic and fly back to Washington or wherever to coordinate a response.

Yes, Obama has kissed up to Republicans too much. That's why there has been no palpable improvement since the days that your hero bush messed up the USA. So yes, he has failed. Now let's see you admit that Bush caused the entire economic and social féck up that still exists to this day.

Go check my posts big mouth. You need to learn how to read. I've said many times that Bush and the GOP made a mess of things. Then Obama and the Democrats made it much worse. Obama and the Democrats had two years to do whatever they wanted and the GOP could not do a thing to stop them. They squandered all that time on a foolish Health Care System that will most definately fail if it isn't squashed by the courts.

How about a nice cup of FAIL?

Had you bothered to read my posts you would have learned a LONG time ago that I was the first one here to condemn Obama's giveaways to the corporations as being nothing more than welfare for the rich.

Talk about FAIL!

C'mon... you drool over Obama. You run to his side like a lap dog. And you weren't the first one to condemn Obama's corporate welfare. If I recall you said...

"BUSH DID IT TOO! WHERE WERE ALL YOU GUYS THEN?"

I happily approved of Obama giving away welfare to the corporations????


What the heck have you been drinking????

Do you see how foolish you sound?

Do you see why nobody takes liberals in the US seriously?



Where Gopher... where did I say that you happily approved of Obama giving away welfare to corporations? Where?

I bet you cannot even answer that... and won't.

Sorry, I thought the whole point was to post some random pointless simplistic criticism of a President for something that is complex, and treat it like a simple yes or no question that was answered incorrectly. Isn't that what the previous post was?

Gopher,

At some point, you're going to have to analyze the actions of Obama and assess a judgement of sorts. Obama knew exactly what he was getting in to and was elected on a platform that proposed solutions. Deflecting the focus back onto the GOP or Bush or whatever goes no where in addressing the present situation.

First, nobody who does not hate Bush 'worship at his feet'. At least not nearly as much those who adore 0bama, worship at his.

Second, would you and your fellow Bush detractors be happier if he had jumped up in panic, rather than handle the bad news with quiet dignity, the way he did?

Third, not to minimize, but your number of victims is enhanced by your prejudice.
