For President Obama, the image of a bloodied Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi offers vindication, however harrowing, of his intervention in Libya, where a reluctant commander in chief put strict limits on American military engagement and let NATO allies take the lead in backing the rebels.

We had no strict limits placed upon our military, Obama just closely controlled what we did the last couple of months. What happened to Qaddafi was the result of us taking the lead. Still does not vindicate President Obama for what he is doing to the United States now. There must be a change in 2012.

And who on the repub side can do that. Seems they are short on a lot of things. And the Party is being held up by Tea baggers - hard evangelicals - and so on.

And my opinion so far on the Obama Presidency....

 

[Highball]

My opinion??? I voted last time for the "Change You Can Believe In." This time I'll vote to prove I'm not an idiot! His performance? Dismal but with the help of a dismal Congress too.

Well he did inherit a fuking mess.

Yes he did. He also promised to fix it. Making it even a bigger f*ing mess wasn't part of his campaign promises.

The mess will take a decade to fix. Cuts and taxes.

So called Tea party are not holding up anything, they are to small a group. As for the hard evangelicals, another group smaller than the Tea party. The Republicans are running people with no more or less experience than President Obama had, even a couple are very qualified. Just that the left (including you) refuse to accept anyone from the GOP, wouldn't matter who they ran. As for inheriting a mess, maybe he did, but when you see a mess you try and clean it up, not make it worse. This mess would have happened no matter who was president these past 10 years, it was preordained since at least 1955. Fixing it is not in his job description.

Yes and the GOP promised something about fixing the economy if they gained control of the House (or Senate, whichever it is). I thought all problems were solved.

HE SUCKS!

Just checking in.

Give them the Senate also and watch what happens. (need both houses or a combination of both to do anything) I would like to see how some of these new GOP members with their new ideas handle it, can do no worse.

HE SUCKS!

Just checking in.

Your motion is noted. :lol:

Hey, be nice. He's a fellow author.

Even ITN hates him and he voted for him. :razz:

What idiots he has surounded himself with.

Vice President Joe Biden has been steadfast in his claim that if the president’s American Jobs Act does not pass, then “rape will continue to rise.”

No I am not on the left - I read the TB announcements - add in the evangelicals - lots of votes - now they have not been a positive influence for GOP leaders in the House / Senate to work out a strategy - All I see is cuts that will affect the poor from these people (Tbaggers) - well i disagree and that is not left wing that is only being fair - everyone has to as they say feel the pain. And yes it will take a decade to fix -

The present economic slump was and has meant a structural change - No longer is a semi skilled worker in demand in an area and in the past he would move when the economy slowed where he was located.
The shortage is in professionals in many areas- from engineers and others with such education.

Your right, when we lost the jobs due to outsourcing to other countries those engineers and others had to learn new job skills and are now gone. We have to somehow get our colleges to start pushing out more engineers, mathematicians, chemists etc. No matter what political party wins, the poor in the U.S. have always been taken care of. Unfortunately we will always have a poor class either by their choice or by chance.

My point is everyone has to pay a share - On education - well that is part of the decade I was referring to - Economy - taxes and spending cuts - You know that as well as I.

Flashback: Obama’s Failed Stimulus Cost More than 9 Year Iraq War | The Gateway Pundit

Bailouts of Banks, Corps etc were started under the Bush Administration - approved by Dems (Obama Pres elect) & Repubs - Now in Europe they are looking to how quickly the US Govt acted.
Go to Euro land and it takes 17 Govts to approve the bailouts for Greece. They are unable to act efficiently -the longer it goes on the worse it becomes.

I see Obama wants to raise taxes and cut spending - The repubs - Only raise spending with equal cuts - no new spending - and drastic cuts.

Everything should be on the table. In this divided Govt - and i blame both - You cannot negotiate with yourself - You need the other guy to pony up as well.
