this president`s approval rating is in the tank...he`s f`ed up everything he`s touched...so the only thing his gadfly`s can do is "blame bush"?...
His approval rating is about at the same level as the % of people who voted for him, and the election went pretty well for him. So, not sure I'd hang my hat on that. As for him fucking up everything he's touched, that's both wrong and simplistic, but nothing new...some might say "sort of pathetic." Which leads us on to...
it`s sort of pathetic..you don`t see past presidents being so rude and disrespectful...it`s who the guy is...it`s what he has to do...he`s a one-legged man in an ass kicking contest...
Yeah, sure, I can't remember past Presidents as far back as say, Dubbya Bush using Clinton as a crutch for everything that went wrong, and as a smokescreen for enacting an agenda that turned out not so great for the country by the time he was done... do I need to go on? Personally, I don't think so...
he refuses to let louisiana clean up the oil spill...can`t sell the people on the healthcare debacle(and rightly so)....has completely thrown most of our allies under the bus in favor of despots....and is in the process of dismantling our military....
While I don't think he's been CLOSE to being tough enough on BP in the oil spill, I honestly don't think he could win with this situation. If he came down like I think he should on BP, he'd be blasted for being anti-business, anti-oil companies, over-extending government into private interest, etc. If he sent in everything he could have to combat this scenario, what would BP and conservatives say? What would Rand Paul say, for Gawdsakes?!? If he superceded Louisiana and other states with a big plan to run things, I can only imagine what present and future Presidential hopeful Bobby Jindahl would have said and done. In what universe could you see Jindahl saying anything positive about anything Obama would have done, in any situation? His soon to be (if he gets his way) Presidential opponent in 2012? He's gonna accept anything Obama does in a positive way? Okay - you can't expect us to buy that, can you? For myself, I know Obama can't win that war... but go ahead and make it an issue.
And Obama has sold out all our allies for despots, huh? Another paintbrush comment, that can be easily argued for many threads. There was so much damage done from the previous administration - our allies and opposition included - that one year of trying to cool things down from someone who might actually have some respect and credit in the world in areas that are very much against the U.S. because of what has happened over the past few years really has to be given a tad more credit. Or not, as the agenda goes.
Dismantling our military? Are you serious? Are we all of a sudden not spending over twice as much on that as the rest of the world combined? Or are we not spending money on specific outdated or non-working programs that no longer fit the world in which we have to fight? Didn't Obama make Afghanistan a bigger focus and front on the war? Didn't he extend that, and continue the fight in Pakistan? Isn't he arguably keeping more soldiers in Iraq than most non neo-cons would be happy with? And you say he's dismantling our military? Wow, that's a priceless comment - more of the same blanket ridicule hoping nobody will notice what your complaining about. Sorry, I'm watching... next? :mj07:
and if you`re comparing the debt when bush left with the debt now...and after healthcare takes effect...or when obama`s done in 4 years,you are a bigger buffoon/lackey than alter...and obviousluy don`t have the wherewithal to use google...
You should stick with this one... it's your strongest argument. Liberals really should avoid debt talk, although I think it's laughable that conservatives are making it such a figurehead to their arguments these days, when they defended Bush before. There's no doubt Bush exploded the debt, and I can't remember too many of YOU guys having a problem with it then. THAT much I can surely argue. I personally am not going to defend what Obama and the dems are doing to the deficit, and it's going to cripple our country sooner than later, I agree. This has to be the focus of his administration in the next two years, and I will hold him to that. I will say, most conservative pundits and economists were unsure about the bailouts and what was happening with the economic companies, and most said we had to do something. Very few held the hard line against doing anything - and very few conservatives were absent back in their home districts when the money was being handed out - they mostly all took credit in front of their voters, but couldn't wait to rip Obama and the dems that gave them that money and that electoral currency in their next election. The right continues their fine form of hypocrisy, and that rarely changes...
just look at the election trends since obama took office...couldn`t even hold teddy kennedy`s seat....:mj07:
If you are counting the election trends that have returned more dems to office than Republicans in electable positions, then good luck with the next one... and had their been a candidate on the dem side in Kennedy's election that had a pulse and actually ran a campaign, things probably would have been different. Probably the worst candidate for a senate seat than I've seen since, well, Jesse Ventura. And I don't say that lightly... :nono:
every politician this poser campaigns for loses....just look at how much his big labor lackeys just threw down a rathole trying to oust blanche lincoln.....
epic fail...on every level...and why should that surprise?...it failed in europe....no wonder he`s blaming everyone else....
"president pass-the-buck"
it`s a clusterfuck...:142smilie ...but thankfully,it will be short lived....
c`mon november...:toast:
Now that we've had an actual Super Tuesday, not sure what you conservatives are gonna hang your hats on. Seems like most incumbents fared well, and many of the incumbent republicans are having some trouble with Tea-Partiers. Although many of those folks were voted down, too - the ones the party had hopes for. So, status quo seemed to do pretty well in the biggest election day since Barack's big day.
Interesting that no matter what happens, conservatives can seem to make it sound like things are great for them. I do know, that as long as nothing actually encroaches inside the gates of their home, or comes onto their lawn, they think life is ok... so, run with it Wease! :0074
