Obama is a psycopathic murdering monster, that's the only reason he was placed in the offal office. Anyone who thinks he's doing a fine job is sleeping at their wheel. He is a better murdering monster than Bush however.

He didn't. Anyone that thinks he did say that has comprehension problems. I can see that with teddy, considering his lack of mental acuity, but I never really thought you had that problem. Until now, that is.

He did say it in another thread which I linked to.

Here's the entire quote, in context, for those that are mentally challenged.

This is pure nonsense and another rant against Obama. Obama must be the best the
American people ever elected. He has drawn the fire of the desperate right for more than
four years now.
The program Obama is putting into place will live on in American History.
By the time the Republicans come to power the people will be behind Medicare and the
changes made and the taxes on the rich will fluctuate as they have done throughout the
history of North America.
Infrastructure is a government responsibility not the private sector
Obama has changed the face of America and the Democrats have a chance to gain
control of the House after the over the cliff idea the obstructionist right has promoted the
people want reform not the right wing reform that the Republicans are proposing.
The more the articles shriek about Obama the more desperate they demonstrate they are,.

Now, hopefully, you are more intelligent than teddy and can see the difference of leaving out that one sentence. If not, poor you. Maybe it's time to be looking at a nursing home, as your mental capacities are failing rapidly.

And if you look at the entire post, you should see it as an Obama love-in, which makes the way I read that sentence in context perfectly plausible.
End of dance for me.

I did not say he was the best ever at all it was the use of perception I guess that has some
in a flap I said he must be if the right wing is always in such a flap. I also said he has done
a number of things that were far less than perfect but anything he did was not as bad as
George Bush, not the old man but the son. Actually some of Bush Seniors policy made
some sense but the Son W a waste of space.
I do think over all Obama is on the right track when it comes to the protection of the Middle
Class. the real problem is the Republicans. Not mainstream fiscal Republicans but the Tea
Party element and the Anne Coulter nut cases that give the party a bad name.
As for a love in, no just a preference I still think there were a lot better Presidents than Obama.
Roosevelt, Truman, Lyndon Johnson, for examples, notice I didn't mention Kennedy, he was
a tourist on the political scene except for the Cuban Missile Crisis.
The people who contributed to the least progress in America. Top of the list Ronald Reagan,
a fool not a leader. George W was the second worst. The Republican I liked actually was
Nixon in many respects, aside from Watergate he had some defining moments as a President

If you read carefully what I said I clearly did not say Obama was the best but he is better than
the alternative for sure.

The reason you don't have skilled workers anymore is because a number of more
conservative governments eliminated the skilled worker training programs for our
youth instead they want to bring in cheap labour from off shore and give them the
incentives they should have given our children.
Someone mentioned entitlements, well they are not really entitlements they were
bought and paid for for the most part from payroll taxes when I for one was younger.
If entitlement means do I want the benefits I paid for "Damn right I do"
We wonder why we are having trouble, all those free trade deals that benefit the third
world at our expense. If we are going to have free trade it should be with countries
that have similar standards of living and other workplace rules. No more having our
companies going off shore for cheap labour and skirting environmental and labour laws
that our patriotic stay come companies have to compete with.
I say patriotic because there are many responsible companies that do stay here and
provide jobs and benefits and they don't have to be legislated to do it. It is time for a
dose of real protectionism as it were. All or most product leaving Canada should be
value added. Tax incentives should be given to companies that keep most of their
manufacturing here. This would include fuel costs and electrical rates.
In addition we could provide lower tax rates for factories that settle here instead of
in the third world.
In BC most of the problems with apprenticeships were caused by dippers and their agenda.

I wonder what the economy would look like if SK and AB had the 250,000 skilled people needed ASAP? Why are we going to have to rely on immigration when there are skilled people in Canada to fill those jobs and another 250,000 to support the skilled people and their families?


The rest of Canada isn't hungry enough?

I guess no one wants to go live in that shiiit hole???
