    And who fail. This need to stop.
    You don't want to work, oh well, you go down...
    But if you fail, if you can't make good cars, etc...well, you should go down as well...
    Other people, better at what they do, will have no problem to take over...

    Well he can continue printing money until it will take a barrel of it to buy a loaf of bread like in Zimbabwe.

    And you're perfectly right. I am not a republican. I am conservative and there are many things I disaprove of in the Republican party which is why I would never consider myself one.

    Certainly is.
    Considering the alternatives (Gore/Kerry)... I'd call it a "wise choice".

    Which party would that be? Obama actually has a lower rating than Bush did over the same 100 days. That my friend is an undeniable fact.

    It certainly is frustrating when a President has an approval rating of 36%

    I remember Kerry's campaing.

    Kerry: I have a plan

    Press: What is that plan?

    Kerry: IT's a great plan.

    Press: Can you describe it?

    Kerry: It will fix everything...

    lmao

    - No other country wants to take the prisoners.
    - Pelosi won't let President Obama close Gitmo.
    - Congress won't approve the money to do it.

    And, there are significant legal issues in moving the prisoners to the USA. U.S prisons are civilian prisons, whose purpose is to imprison civilians that have broken the laws of the United States, while in the United States.. It's somewhat illegal to incarcerate someone who hasn't broken US law while on US soil, in an American prison.

    I understand what President Obama wants to do - closing the prison at Gitmo will help the USA's image around the world. But he may not have the legal authority to do so. I think that this is a campaign promise he won't be able to keep.

    You know what I heard Rush say the other day. Talking about Obama's decision not to release photos of soldiers terrorizing inmates (which I disapprove of), but still do not agree with the release of.

    According to Obama, he does not want the photos to get out in the publics eye. Then if that is the case why don't you sign an executive order on national security business? But no, under the quiet he wants them released so he is setting up himself for the justice department to require that they be released when he could avoid this if he signed an executive order.

    I really should just leave it at pointing out the fact that you are one of those people who still thinks voting for Bush was a "wise choice".

    Uhh... no it's not... From your own link:

    [​IMG]

    Even with all that he has going on. After all the wreckage Bush left when he walked out of office. Obama's LOWEST rating is still higher than Bush's HIGHEST over the same time span according to your own link.

    P.S. I lol'd a little at how you said "undeniable fact" like you really knew what you were talking about :D

    Dick Cheney is getting the word out. He's becoming the new Charles Heston.

    That's a horrible thing. Charlton Heston should never be compared to these lunatics.

    RNC Chairman Michael Steele: The problem that we have with this president is that we don’t know [Obama]. He was not vetted, folks. … He was not vetted, because the press fell in love with the black man running for the office. “Oh gee, wouldn’t it be neat to do that? Gee, wouldn’t it make all of our liberal guilt just go away? We can continue to ride around in our limousines and feel so lucky to live in an America with a black president.” Okay that’s wonderful, great scenario, nice backdrop. But what does he stand for? What does he believe? … So we don’t know. We just don’t know.

    I found this video and its has some really good points that most people don't notice. It shows that obama is spending more money then any other president in history.

    The National Debt Road Trip
    How do the Obama deficits compare with past presidents? And how did the national debt get so big anyway. This video tries to answer those questions by looking at the debt as a road trip and seeing how fast different administrations have been traveling.

    Interesting video, probably put out by some racist hate based organization. This video is a classic representation of the outdated thinking of the racist Republican party, who cant stand the idea of a black man in the white house.

    Sure they try and slam the spending done by Mr.Obama. You can look at their very own graph and see that he thinks differently than those who were ruining America before him, but thats not a bad thing. That spending will be used to heal the social rift that existed in our nation for too long. Surely a nation that is as powerful and wealthy as America can afford to be charitable and look after our nations poorest. This forum should have some rule against posting links to such overtly racist sites and videos.

    Why is it that every time someone has facts about obama were racist?
    Its not a racist video, it just shows how much every president has spent, then compares it to our current guy in office.

    I really dont understand how this is racist? Can you explain?

    Its an overt and misleading (Debt really isn't a bad thing) attack at Barack Obama, the black man in the white house. Its not just me saying it. Some of the respected members of our society have had the sack call it for what it is as well:

    Edit: By the way, those of you who didn't see Olbermanns interview with Garafalo in its entirety, and instead only caught some clip of it used on those right wing media outlets, you should take the time to watch it(the first link). She spells it out point for point. I don't think there is anyone who can watch that video and not understand with crystal clarity the thinking of liberalism in America.

    Obama's national dept spending has nothing to do with his race.

    The fact that someone is calling him out on it doesn't make them racist does it?

    ACORN is getting $8 billion of stimulus spending. They don't like you messing with their money. So yeah, you will be called a racist.

    Lets face it, that youtube video looked a lot like the nonsense the tea baggers have been putting out. If the tea baggers are racist for saying it, so is this guy.

    Watch the video again, Garafalo calls it out point for point
    1) The limbic brain inside a right winger or Republican or conservative or your average white power activist is much larger in their head space than in a reasonable person, and it's pushing against the frontal lobe, so their synapses are misfiring. It is a neurological problem that we're dealing with

    2) Since the beef is really with taxes at the end of the day, tea baggers are completely uneducated rednecks who couldn't probably tell you thing one about taxation without representation, the Boston Tea Party, or British imperialism.

    3) They are mostly white males. Any women likely have Stockhom Syndrome, and any blacks are Happy Negros like uncle tom Juan Williams and Michael Steele.

    4) the Republican hyphen conservative movement has now crystallized into the white power movement

    5) The fox television network and current and former republicans (conservatives and teabagges) are just looking for a reason to yell at a black President because of his race and have marginalize themselves out of business by doing so. Nobody buys their lunacy and hatred.

    6) The unfortunate by-product of a volatile group like this with their limbic brain mental issues is Violence. Its frankly shocking there were no deaths at the tea bagging festivals.

    7) The Republican party, and anyone really opposed to Obama's initiatives now depends on immigrant-bashing and hating the black guy.


    Are you saying that Keith Olbermann and Garafalo just made all this stuff up and went on national television with it? Only a complete lunatic would make up such an elaborate list and go on national TV with it, not to mention Keith Olbermann is the voice of the Democratic movement on TV. No, it must be true, and if its true, this guy is a racist, flat out.
