Quit picking on Obama……
- Thread starter DaSleeper
- Start date
But it's such fun giving someone a taste of his own medicine.:lol:I did.-Bickering doesn't generally lead us to a sensible answer!
I didn't have anything to do for a while and I was bored.....Power was out for 9 hrs, nothing good on TV, and I had two Notebooks and the high speed modem/ router running on a 12 Volt Battery and a thousand watt inverter I used to have in my trailer................
Damn... that sucker fish is on the line again.....can never get rid of those bottom feeders
Obama is so focused on domestic policy that he has failed to conceive of a comprehensive grand strategy for American foreign relations. Everything with Obama is ad hoc and not thought out.
America is quite literally being driven from the Middle East. In time the same thing will happen in East Asia and the Western Pacific. It's really quite astounding to observe.

The USA has no business being in the Middle East. If it needs a strategy there as you say, should Canada have one as well? How about Britain or the EU??
Let them solve their own problems - none of them are our goddamn business.
Have a sip and they'll be along shortly to tell you what you think friend. ;-)
Meanwhile, the mutt is hard at work:
Obama Hits The Links For The 140th Time…
Which is 116 more rounds than Bush played in eight years.
EDGARTOWN, Mass. (AP) –President Barack Obama hit the golf course Sunday with a campaign donor who has represented the venture-capital firm he repeatedly attacked in the 2012 election.
Mr. Obama is spending some of the last hours of his eight-day vacation on Martha’s Vineyard with Eunu Chun, a lawyer who has represented Bain Capital.
Mr. Chun, along with some other supporters with Bain Capital ties, raised funds for Mr. Obama’s re-election bid last year. The Obama campaign made Republican nominee Mitt Romney‘s ties to Bain Capital an overwhelming issue in the campaign, and Mr. Obama spent much of last year criticizing his opponent for his time at the firm.
Right wing propaganda vs the TRUTH:
Obama has taken less vacation time than Bush did
Obama has taken less vacation time than Bush did | Tampa Bay Times
The statement
Says President Barack Obama "has taken 92 days of vacation since he was sworn in," compared with 367 for President George W. Bush at the same point in his presidency.
Al Sharpton, Aug. 9 on MSNBC's PoliticsNation
The ruling
As President Barack Obama began a vacation on Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts, social media and blogs buzzed with details of Obama's vacations, past and present.
One of his defenders was the Rev. Al Sharpton, who hosts PoliticsNation on MSNBC.
Sharpton said, "We all love summer traditions, fireworks, barbecues, the beach. And we're seeing the return of a right-wing favorite — attacking the president's vacation."
Sharpton told viewers Obama "has taken 92 days of vacation since he was sworn in. How many did President (George W.) Bush take by the same point in his presidency? Three hundred and sixty-seven. Yes, more than a full year of vacation."
We wondered whether Sharpton was right.
An MSNBC spokeswoman pointed to a story in USA Today. The article says, "At the same point in Bush's presidency, the 43rd president had spent 367 days at his ranch in Crawford, Texas, and his parent's compound at Kennebunkport, Maine, according to a count by CBS News reporter Mark Knoller. Obama, who doesn't own a vacation home, has spent a total of 92 days of his presidency on vacation, according to Knoller."
Tweets by Knoller himself back that up. On the eve of Obama's departure for Martha's Vineyard, Knoller tweeted that "since taking office, Pres Obama has taken 14 vacation trips spanning all or part of 92 days." Knoller also tweeted that "at the same point in office, Pres. GWBush had made 50 visits to (his) Texas Ranch totaling all or part of 323 days."
Another 26 of Bush's vacation days are accounted for by trips to Kennebunkport, with 18 days on vacation at miscellaneous locations, according to Knoller's data. Trips to the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland are not included in either president's figures.
It's worth noting that there was a difference in the two presidents' patterns of vacations. As the USA Today article noted, Obama doesn't own a vacation home, unlike Bush, who owned his ranch. So while Bush essentially used the ranch as a working White House, Obama has traveled to a variety of destinations, including his native Hawaii. Because of this, the government may have been able to accrue some per-trip cost savings for Bush by going repeatedly to one location. But since the White House is traditionally tight-lipped about costs and security details for presidential travel, it's impossible to know how the total cost of Bush's travel compares with Obama's.
We rate the statement Mostly True.
The TRUTH trumps right wing lies yet again.

How is Obama's foreign policy doing? Is anyone proud of the job he's done concerning American relations with countries like Egypt or Russia? Does anyone claim Obama is a foreign policy genius?
Those were your only two options? Holy f*ck . What a sh*tty way to ride out the golden years.
Krugman wants you to hammer this truth into every Republican, every Democrat, every American’s head; the deficit is shrinking at a faster rate in decades. It is not rising. But then again, should we let facts get in the way..........?
I wondered on my blog what a similar survey would show today, with the deficit falling even faster than it did in the 1990s. Ask and ye shall receive: Hal Varian, the chief economist of Google, offered to run a Google Consumer Survey — a service the company normally sells to market researchers — on the question.
So we asked whether the deficit has gone up or down since January 2010. And the results were even worse than in 1996: A majority of those who replied said the deficit has gone up, with more than 40 percent saying that it has gone up a lot. Only 12 percent answered correctly that it has gone down a lot.
Am I saying that voters are stupid? Not at all. People have lives, jobs, children to raise. They’re not going to sit down with Congressional Budget Office reports. Instead, they rely on what they hear from authority figures. The problem is that much of what they hear is misleading if not outright false. …

Did you say something or did you fart? Coming from you it's the same thing.
Now ..in the words of O'Reilly "You can have the last word or fart or whatever" I've wasted enough time with you...I'd rather be bored to death than have a convo with you
He's still mad tho. Probably unsettles him before bedtime tuck-in and when he finally wakes up...ruminating and inconsolably rocking to and fro, suckling on a teether, obsessing about what the sports fans been writing while he was offline.
M-u-s-t.... f-i-n-d ....o-u-t ....m-u-s-t.... r-e-p-l-y...grrrrrrr. :lol:
I googled it, and I can't see anyplace where Sharpton has said anything at all about Tawana Brawley in a couple of decades. So could you give us a link for Sharpton "still trying to convince us about Tawana Brawley," or shall we just conclude you're lying?
Again.
Still waiting for your link to where Sharpton is still trying to convince us about Tawana Brawley.
You can see that whoever wrote them didn't know his French.....
I kinda liked "Fils de putain" :lol:
Some classic ones when you do this search......Google
That is probably in the top 20 of Most Idiotic Things Posted on Canadian Content.
It is like excusing a serial killer because he killed fewer people this month.
U.S. National Debt Clock : Real Time
Yes, running a deficit is exactly like serial murder.
Except, of course, when FDR, Reagan, G.H.W. Bush, and G.W. Bush do it.
