Obama and sand slipping thru
fingers...
If Obama would show up for
work, or Pelosi or Reid not show utter incompetence, there would be
no one cheering louder and jumping up and down with joy than bartcop.com.
Obama has my gratitude and respect for showing true courage for
reaching out to the Muslim world
in a rational fashion right after he came into office. Simply stating
that he wasn't an insane Crusader
was more of a positive achievement in the "War on Terror" (aka Muslims)
than anything we achieved
militarily in ? years, because we are in two pointless wars based on
lies that we can't win no way no how.
He paid dearly for addressing Muslims like they are human - but
at least he had the balls to do it. Then.
And after "Obamacare" passed, I was bowled over by the fact I only had
to pay $12 for a prescription
medication I used to pay $20 for. Obama has saved me $16 during his
presidency!! Thanks, buddy!
(But I am not overwhelmed because affordable health care has become a
fantasy. Lucky to have any
stinking, rotten job these days. Getting a full time job with benefits
would feel like winning the lottery.
The business model for all those new jobs the Republicans say they will
generate mean No Benefits and
Little Income to maximize income for shareholders and executives.
George W, with a smirk, addressing
the issue of out-sourcing of American jobs, said he knew in his heart
the American worker could compete
with any worker in the world, on a level playing field. Yes - if that
level playing field is Haiti or Bangladesh!
That's what they want to reduce us to.... Yeah, Americans will soon be
desperate enough to take wages
The All-Knowing Free Market (wink wink) pays out in the Third World.
Facts is facts. His was an historic election after the worse president
in history destroyed the global economy
and with a smirk on his face. People wanted a fundamental overhaul of
the system because their economic
survival was at stake because of the looting of America by bankers and
the Military Industrial Complex Ike
saw coming. Obama, if he would have chosen to do so, had megatons of
political capital to make big, bold
achievements. People wanted an end to the wars (that sure would stop
hemorrage of American lives and
treasure), and someone should have held Bush and Cheney et al
accountable for war crimes like water-boarding
- at least had a national acknowledgement of misconduct and a
change of direction. But its been business
as usual with Barry. "Who you gonna bomb, Obama?" asked Mike Gravel,
during one of the primary debates
- and he was spot on for exposing the fact that no one but he,
Kucinich, and Ron Paul were truly anti-war.
He also chose not to fight the opposition and address the lies
Republicans told about him from Day One.
He handed over the powers of the Presidency, and decisions to be made,
to idiots Pelosi and Reid. WHY?
That's a great question - one I'd like to see answered.
MAYBE he saved us from
even greater calamity by his moderate actions and not punishing the
Wall Street gangstas. I'll be long dead before history determines that.
If he had only chosen to fight the Republicans who in lock-step
resolved to utterly destroy his Presidency
the way he fought "racists" Hillary and Bill in the primary, I give you
my Nancy Grace guarantee that the
economy would have recovered significantly, and me and millions like me
would have a job, health insurance,
and I'd be able to resume sending money to support bartcop.com instead
of living in desperate anxiety about
how the hell my family is going to pull through..
What the heck is going on? Does he not read newspapers either, like
monkeyboy? Is he as out of touch
with reality as Elvis and Michael Jackson? Does he not like being
President? If so, why run again in 2012?
Why not give power to a sane person who knows how to use it - Hillary
Clinton comes to mind.....
(It makes no sense, but he will run again - and betcha he loses in a
landslide to Sarah Palin, and if he survives,
he will be impeached. For something. Whatever. And Boehner will be
Prez.)
Carville called this one right. He's not playing political games - he's
trying to talk sense into this guy!
He sees what's around the corner - control of the government by right
wing wackos and plutocrats.
Nixon, Goldwater, Dole, even Reagan, and maybe even George W are not
crazy enough to be President
these days. The Republican party has gone Cheney crazy. Koresh! - we're
now living in a world where
Karl Rove looks pragmatic, sensible and moderate.
And how did Nancy Pelosi survive in the Democratic party after the
red-ass election day 2010?
I do not understand - someone please explain this to me. There's got to
be a great story behind
all this stupid shit that has been going on.
Jimmy Carter had a tough time, and was brought down, but he was
fighting when he was brought down.
They say he spent the night before Reagan's inauguration on the couch,
still working for the release of the
hostages (impossible, because Casey had made a deal with the
Ayatollahs). Are the lights on late at night
in the Oval Ofc this days? What's going on?
Pardon me if I am very pissed off at the state of affairs. Republican
evil/Democratic cowardice and incompetence.
Obama's incompetence and Republican ruthlessness and focus will deliver
us into the Dark Age of war and poverty
we may have had a temporary pass on since 2008. America will not
recover economically from the War on Terror,
anymore than England recovered after taking on Hitler.
