Bush screws up the economy...
look again at Chris Dodd and Barney Frank, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. If you care about the truth. That is what screwed up the economy.
Obama is fixing the economy...? By tripling the debt in his first 5 months? How do you think he is going to recoup that? By just raising taxes on the rich. I know you are too smart to buy that.
Bush started 2 wars...geez, there is that chestnut. Congress started 2 wars. Bush by himself, as goofy as he was, cannot start wars by himself. Obama promised to start withdrawal from Iraq immediately. As soon as he was elected it became 16 months and they would LOOK at withdrawal. Now it is 23 months and they will look at withdrawal. Face it...he said it to get elected. And he as upped the ante in Afghanistan, and we have more troops there now than we did when Bush was in office. They are looking mighty similar to me. Bring peace to the region? That will never happen. Arabs cannot even get along among themselves. They have not been able to throughout history and whether we are there or not there will not be peace in that region. Come on. I know you are smarter than that. We are only over there because they brought the fight to us. Even Obama says we belong in Afghanistan because that is where bin Laden is (supposedly). Even HE thinks they brought the fight to us. Do you listen to what he says?
Bush had prisoners tortured. Matter of opinion. I don't call waterboarding torturing. It beats having your head cut off and waved in front of cameras. If waterboarding even one of those terrorists kept another attack from happening on our soil or anywhere else (and something sure did), then I say waterboard them. The effects are not lasting, it isn't permanent like having your head hacked off with a dull knife...sighhhh. And how do you know Obama stopped it? Because he said so? lol.
Bush talks to others in threatening tone and then wonders why no one likes us.
Well, you got me there. Bush did do that, Obama for SURE doesn't. I have to side with Bush on that one. I don't care if they LIKE me. I want them to think I might slap them silly if they attack my country. They are still going to buy our goods, come here for medical care (I do reports every day on kids from ALL the arab countries being brought to childrens hospitals here for care...that ain't gonna change), etc. Why is it so important to you that other countries "like" us? France has never liked us. The minute we liberated them in WWII they were yelling get out of our country. And these people are people you care if they "like" us?? Come onnnn big bad. I know you are smarter than that.
Bush never held Israel to its agreement to stop settlements. Hmmm. Has anyone ever held Hamas to its agreement not to slam Israel with rockets on a daily basis or send suicide bombers through the checkpoints? Oh, that doesn't count, because they are only killing Israelis?? Yes, I would expect Obama to side with Hamas. That is his heritage, or had you not noticed? As I said before...he doesn't give a rip what happens to Israel...as it seems, do you.
The patriot act? He voted to extend it as a senator. And now that he is Pres, that will change? And you believe it, because it said it? When he has gone back on the war, gone back on transparency...I know you are smarter than that.
Nope, Obama is NOT the exact opposite of Bush. He mimics him to a great extent. Probably because a lot of the same strings that pulled Bush pull him. ANd I know you are smart...so why not compile ALL the information and look at it objectively. DOn't look at what he SAYS, what he PROMISED...look at what he has DONE and what he HAS NOT done. The truth is there...if you want to see it.
I said the same things to folks about Bush by the way. There are only a handful of things I think Bush did right...and a whole lot of things I think he did wrong. I am still waiting for a right thing from Barry from Chicago.

Hmmmm.....
your post sounds a lot like a description of Obama to me. If Obama does not have prepared questions and answers, he stutters a lot and says "um" "er" "you know" -- O'Reilly was canned last night, completely scripted. Try watching him without the script. Believe me, we've noticed.
....and really, your "leash" comment is really stooping a bit low, don't you think?
Hmmmm....

This Hillary dem is voting for McCain because of this: “I join as a cosponsor of the Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005, S. 190, to underscore my support for quick passage of GSE regulatory reform legislation. If Congress does not act, American taxpayers will continue to be exposed to the enormous risk that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pose to the housing market, the overall financial system, and the economy as a whole. I urge my colleagues to support swift action on this GSE reform legislation.”- John McCain 2005 Legislation failed. The failure of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac could have been averted IF Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005 had been passed. Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005 only had three co-sponsors : Elizabeth Dole, John McCain and John Sununu. For Nancy Pelosi blaming the GOP is downright an insult to ALL of US TAXPAYERS! http://beltwaysnark.com/2008/09/16/john-mccai... - oversee-fannie-and-freddiein-2 005/ http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd... Gee, and who did the now Government financed mortgage broker Fannie Mae give its money to when it wanted to influence a politician? OpenSecrets lists the top three politicians in which FNMA “invested” from 1989 to 2008. Top Recipients of Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac Campaign Contributions, 1989-2008Name Office State Party Grand Total Dodd, Christopher S CT D $165,400 Obama, Barack S IL D $126,349 ($6000 came from the PAC) Kerry, John S MA D $111,000 What about McCain? The folks at Fannie Mae didn’t show him a lot of love. According to Open Secrets: McCain, John S AZ R $21,550 (all from individuals). Oh yeah, and who tabbed the former head of Fannie Mae to head up his Vice Presidential search team? OBAMA, that’s who. Back in May Barack turned to Jim Johnson, former CEO of Fannie Mae. The Congressional democrats have ruined our economy. Bye, bye, dear party. I am moving to the fiscal conservatives. The social issues are not important to me at this time. |
Hmmmm.......... sm
and this is your business how? Seems to me as though you have little room to tell me to mind my own business, Shirley.
She asked the question and I answered it.
Hmmmm
Interesting, because he predicted in the early 80s that there would be low inflation and falling oil prices and there was (while Reagan was in office).
Those were bad things?
Hmmmm...
Barack Obama is doing something constructive for general public by being a community organizer. Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh are just blowing smoke up your butts. Sorry...there is no comparison!
Hmmmm....
The article says one thing, the caption under the picture says: Break from protocol: Michelle Obama puts her arm around the Queen, who reciprocates, as the pair chatted after a group picture of the G20 leaders was taken.
Michelle went first and the queen 'reciprocated.' (That being-gracioius thing again.) Fairly sure that's what I saw on the video, though now I cannot find the complete video on the internet anywhere, just bits and pieces of it.
Hmmmm......(sm)
When was the last time you saw me, any liberal, or any liberal media promoting violence?

Bush screws up the economy (or at least doesn't take any steps to fix it).
Obama works on fixing the economy.
Bush started 2 wars (one of which was/is bogus).
Obama is working to end those wars and bring peace to the region.
Bush had prisoners tortured.
Obama has stopped torture.
Bush talks to other countries in a threatening tone (remember the axis of evil?) and then doesn't have a clue why nobody likes us.
Obama talks to people like they are human beings and respects other cultures, and the results are astounding.
Bush talked about healthcare.
Obama will do something about healthcare.
Bush goes overseas and he's greeted with the sole of a Nike.
Obama goes overseas and is liked and respected.
Bush never held Israel to its agreement to stop settlements.
Obama has already noted that this will be enforced.
There are a few things like the patriot act and LGBT issues that haven't been dealt with yet, but I would say that overall Obama is the exact opposite of Bush. Keep in mind, as he has only been in office for 5 months, he still has at least 3 years and 7 months to go. A lot can happen in that period of time.
Hmmmm.
I don't know why any of these things O has done is a surprise to anyone.... all anyone had to do was look at his history, his HUGE lack of experience, his VERY liberal way of looking at things, the Muslim country he was raised in (govt ruled), the harsh racist remarks he made in his book AGAINST white people, to see where he would take the country and exactly what his agenda would be.
He is a racist man for one thing. He is Muslim... he is someone's puppet and they knew it is why he suddenly appeared on the scene, money poured in from NOWHERE it seems, and waalah!!!! he is now our president. Strange isn't it? No executive skills or experience WHATSOEVER. He promised the moon, which anyone with half a brain knew was a sackful of ______(you can fill in the blank)!!! Sure he would LOVE to legalize marijuana; after all, he LOVES drugs and openly admitted to using drugs for YEARS!!! What a shocker there!
Guns...... well, he was raised in a country where guns were banned (only govt and their military dictatorship ran militia had guns)... NO SHOCKER THERE!
Smoking.... hmmmm.. HE is the one who wans to stop smoking; therefore, he has deemed it necessary for ALL MANKIND in the U.S. to stop smoking, simply because HE IS READY TO STOP SMOKING. Gee!! WHat a shocker! If he still wanted to smoke, believe me that tobacco would be the last thing on his mind to regulate and regulate to death!!
He promised no lobbylists.... he has SURROUNDED himself with lobbylists from day 1 ... what a liar!!!
No pork.... well, we all know what a lie that was...
Line by line...... what a joke!!
Anyone with half a brain knew they were NOT going to see tax cut... I don't call $25 extra in your check a taxcut by the way.... another LIE!!
That $250K or more will be the only affected by taxes....... HA!! Another lie! How in the he!! can ANYONE think all his social programs and free handouts to those who feel "entitled" NOT be paid for by you and me?! There aren't enough RICH in this country to pay for all those freebies. And secondly, only someone born being told that RICH is bad and govt is great actually feels that way...except for the lame followers he has suckered into his way of thinking.
RICH is not a bad word. How many poor people do you know who employ anyone? I don't! I'm glad there are rich people out there and most ALL of them have actually worked their way to their status. What the heck is wrong with hard work and making lots of money... the only people who think it is wrong are those that actually believe they will never be rich, so heaven forbid anyone else is....
Your freedoms are being QUICKLY taken away with Obama.... he says one thing and does another, so for all those that try preaching what he said he wouldn't do, please save your fingers protesting.... he is a liar! plain and simple...
He will not save you from yourself. Heaven knows we need a crook to save us. His wife is very questionably a crook; just take a look at her $317 THOUSAND dollar job at the charity hospital in Chicago, where she committed deeds that would have gotten anyone else ARRESTED and criminal charges brought against. But, with litlte 'ol hubby being in the senate, they quietly brushed that criminal activity under the table and just done away with her position. Poor little Obamas! BTW, for those that didn't bother to hear the facts about this family, SHE was the one pushing to dump poor patients (mostly blacks) out the door of the hospital and into surrounding hospitals, all the while taking MILLIONS of taxpayer dollars from the govt for charity patients, which she was fraudently using....
Not to mention being "mentored" by Rev Wright and his hate speeches, racist speeches....whatever you wanna call them!
Murdering late term babies.... he's all for it and even said he would like to think if his daughters found themselves in that situation that they would have "options" available to them. What the heck does that tell you about what he thinks about morals and human life?
Not only is it business as usual in Washington, it is a free for all bananza of crooks and thieves and "special interest groups" unlike anything this country has ever seen before. Don't get me wrong, Obama is just the puppet, someone else pulls his strings.... but the real powers that be knew he would be the perfect little puppet to pull the masses of lame brains in so they could try to get away with their agenda...
Ah, there's that factcheck.....hmmmm
Don't forget that factcheck.org is part of the Annenberg School at the University of Pennsylvania and is funded by the Annenberg Foundation that employed Obama in Chicago.
Strange bed fellas, aren't they?
Hmmmm....well, if that's the case........
he should butt out of N. Korea and China and the "Asian" countries shouldn't he? N. Korea is threatening with attacks "if" we interefere but that hasn't stopped Obama from speaking his peace about what he thinks they "should" do.
Same for Iran. He can help support the 70% population in the streets by simply saying he supports they attempt to be heard and listened to by their govt!!
'Mind your own business' hasn't kept Obama quiet about N. Korea or China....
Iran has nuclear weaponery as well!!
This is nothing more than him not wanting to speak out against his Muslin brothers.... plain and simple.. and you have to ask yourself why. Why is he willing to be so quiet about this when he has no problem yammering on about Asian countries. Yea, let's all just pretend we don't get it.
What that does tell me is Obama has NO problem with oppression of those folks over there... after all, he is attempting to do the same thing here and if we don't get him out next election, he will have taken this country down a horrible path, if he doesn't railroad those same efforts in here beforehand.
Don't care if you agree or not. The very fact that he has orchestrated his little govt in the private sector BIG TIME and is now trying to do the same with healthcare speaks volumes for those who are not sucked in by the O fest that many are now shaking their heads, crawling out of their little brainwashed brains, and wondering what the he!! were they thinking when they voted for this guy!!
hmmmm....four against one....sure feels like a gang to me....lol
I really don't care to engage in dialogue with four or five people on this board whose only goal at the moment is to ridicule Sarah Palin, in every context imaginable. And not to mention, the current conservative poster on the board, which at the moment happens to be me.
So bye all....I know I've been civil and polite to everyone here.
Can you say the same?
And by the way....Sarah Palin is worth her weight in gold. Can't change my mind, no matter how much you trash her.
Carry on.....

Hmmmm, preparing for the economic challenges AHEAD...
DHL said it was making the cuts to improve profitability and "to prepare the company for the economic challenges ahead."
The company said this latest action would add $1.9 billion to its restructuring costs, for a total of $3.8 billion over two years, most of it during 2008. The company said the cuts would reduce the annual operating costs of DHL U.S. Express to less than $1 billion, from its current cost of $5.4 billion.
DHL is owned by the German company Deutsche Post World Net.
Hmmmm, I didn't realize war veterans fell into
