28 Aug 12 - 04:34 PM (#3396646) Subject: RE: BS: George W. Bush : A Successful President From: GUEST,nobody in particular I agree, and not only that, ALL the Bushes are into fascism. He 'gave' us the first bailout, and stimulus, and those policies were kept up with your current President, Obama, but if you are of the same political party as Obama, I guess you think it's just O.K! and there is some twisted rationale that you justify it. Maybe it's the 'supporters', who are at fault, for going along with it, and not holding him, or his policies accountable! So now, if the 'other' party gains control of the Presidency, and the Senate, and does the same thing as Bush again, and the same thing that Obama is doing, then, all of a sudden its all wrong, because the new regime will be under the banner of being 'Republicans'. Your politics are beyond silly, they are downright a dark joke, and con game! |

29 Aug 12 - 05:09 PM (#3397212) Subject: RE: BS: George W. Bush : A Successful President From: Amos I see a lot of slurs about Barack Obama hidden under various handles in this thread. I request that you who see fit to write them give particulars in factual descriptions of what he has done that you disagree with, and why. If you cannot specify what you think he has done wrong, I think you should just STFU. Really, try a little harder to face and to speak the truth instead of swilling toxic fumes and calling it communication. It really does nothing for anyone. As for Bush, he was an unfortunate choice, IMHO. His management of Katrina, his management of 9/11, his starting of the war in Iraq, and the one in Afghanistan as well, his failure to prosecute the crimes of 9-11, his harm to the writ and right of haveas corpus, his disrespect for social security, and many other specifics are my basis for considering him one of the worst choices our poor nation has ever made.

29 Aug 12 - 07:27 PM (#3397265) Subject: RE: BS: George W. Bush : A Successful President From: Little Hawk Things Obama has done that I don't like, Amos? Sure. Dead simple. - the bank bailout - putting Wall Street and bankster cronies like Geithner in his administration to help him make financial decisions - has not closed Guantanamo - continuation and enlargement of the war in Afghanistan - enactment of NDAA! (perhaps the worst thing of all) - drone strikes in Pakistan and elsewhere - intervention in Lybia - continued propaganda BS regarding Iran - continued sucking up to Israel - and further propaganda BS regarding Syria - new health care plan which was mostly just a huge giveaway to the private health insurance industry rather than any kind of genuine universal One-payer health insurance plan, such as exists in most modern nations nowadays. If the Republicans had done any of that, I wouldn't like it one bit. I don't like it one bit when the Democrats do it either. I'll give Obama this, though. He can talk circles around George W. Bush!

Some of us can't stand either the Democrats or the Republicans! Opposing one of them does not equate to supporting the other. I don't spend a lot of time here going after the Republicans these days, because I have such a low opinion of them that I find them hardly worth discussing. It would be like saying "Aren't rapists and crack dealers terrible?" And besides...almost everyone here already hates the Republicans anyway. What will it help for me to beat an already dead horse on this forum? Furthermore the Republicans don't have the presidency right now! They are NOT in power. Obama is. Therefore Obama is the man who should take responsibility for American foreign and domestic policy and should draw the heat when it's a bad policy. When Bush was responsible for American foreign and domestic policy, I went after Bush. Now Obama is responsible for it...and I don't agree with it...so I go after Obama. It is the man IN power at any given time who really concerns me, not the man out of power. If Romney were in power, you can bet I'd go after him. At this point I think he's such a complete joke that I can hardly bother working up enough interest to talk about him. He's not dangerous...yet. He will be dangerous once he's elected....but my impression is that Obama will probably be re-elected this time and Romney will lose out. I'd be happy to see the last of both of them. AND their parties too. |

They are NOT in power. Obama is. Therefore Obama is the man who should take responsibility for American foreign and domestic policy and should draw the heat when it's a bad policy." Little Hawk, how can you consider Obama responsible for all of this when the Republican Congress has blocked practically everything he has tried to do? Keep Obama and replace a sufficient number of Congress members with NON-Republicans. THEN things will start to move. Don Firth P. S. One thing that concerns me deeply is that two or three Supreme Court Justices are due to retire within the next couple of years. Congress has to confirm, but it's the President's job to make the appointments. And if Mitt Romney is the President, we'll be in for another even MORE Conservative Supreme Court. I'm thinking of moving to Sweden if that happens!
