What I Had The Most About Obama

[emmitt01]

No matter how much I bitch, make over-generalized statements, or ascribe to him problems that are not solely his doing or his to solve, he will still be the President, my President and yours, for this entire term. Oh how I wish pounding away at my keyboard incessantly about the evils of "liberals" really could make a difference...and outweigh the will of the U.S. citizenry who saw fit to elect him.

Emmitt, Emmitt Emmitt. Didn't you know that the people that created the "Amercia, Love it or Leave it" bumper stickers didn't mean Democratic administrations.

Hey man, those socialists are everywhere and they're trying to take over the world with their public schools, standing military, public transportation, and law enforcement entities. And you know how much we don't like publically-funded law enforcement.

Also, I hate Obama cause he's black.

Look, even the NY Times is asking him if he's a socialist.

Look, even the NY Times is asking him if he's a socialist.

Yeah, but this is basically how he's handling that question:

"And the thing I constantly try to emphasize to people if that coming in, the market was doing fine, nobody would be happier than me to stay out of it. I have more than enough to do without having to worry the financial system."

And in his original answer:

"You know, let’s take a look at the budget – the answer would be no."

But that won't stop people from calling him a socialist, and not socialist meaning how they handle their stuff in Europe right now, socialist. I mean the version of the word that conjures up bad memories of the Cold War and Soviet-style Communism. The Soviets hijacked that word first. Then, as a reaction the US used it. But the Cold War is over and has been for quite some time. Russia is not ready to take over the world. Heck, it can't even take its old territories back. If you ask me, the big threat is China, but they like our money too much, and before you tell me they're socialist, they're more totalitarian in government and more capitalist in economics right now.

Oh, I also don't like Obama because he's Muslim.

--Until he screws up royally as Bush did in Iraq and the economy ...we should support his efforts or at least hope he gets good advice from both parties and not have one just sitting on their hands and criticizing with no decent ideas. They are elected to serve America, not a political party.

---The situation when Obama took office is horrible....unlike when Bush entered office. We are at War in Iraq, the economy is in the tank, the budget is a total mess, and the national debt has doubled in the past 8 years. When Bush took over we weren't at war (I agreed with Afganistan, we had to go there..he did a good job on that until Iraq), the economy was good except the dot-Com area which happened because about everyone by had then good computers and sales were dropping..remember Greenspans comment that warned about how irrational it was), the budget had a surplus and the arguement was "what to do with it?", and the national debt was stable (less than 2% climb per year from 1992-2000 and could have been decreased due to surplus if Congress had authorized it... (remember, surplus existed).

---All of these problems happened on Bush's term in office... How can you defend him unless your head is in the sand.?? That is completely irrational. We need this President and every President to succeed... and I don't care which party. He will make mistakes, all have... but overall he needs to do better than the last one for sure.... that should not very difficult.

--To classify all Democrats as crazy liberals is as inaccurate as saying all Republicans are all super Rich Christian fanatics... neither is true. A few extremeists seem to think no taxes is the answer... but I guess they support no paved roads, public schools, military, public hospitals etc. I realize not all GOP people think that way but some try to paint them that way. Don't buy into every you hear on radio (or TV) by these guys making a fortune just saying anything to keep them on the air and making themselves lots of money. Think for yourself.... an NT degree does mean you know BS when you hear it... doesn't it.
