Oh God! 2 more months of election talk, I can't take it!
I'm getting soooo sick of all the Hillary vs Trump talk! After all, who cares? Nothing will change! Nothing changed with Obama (except we now have to pay for Obama-Care) and nothing changed with any of the previous presidents. The US is an unchanged and unchangeable nation. Now, let's go back to talk about porn!

Mark Prince is on a rampage here but the truth is as much as we want change, we never really get it.
At one point when the VA was being talked about, Trump had all of the solutions. He was going to fix the problem. He was going to increase locations, reduce fraud, reduce wait time for appointments, all while reducing costs. How was he going to do this? Well, he was going to "put the right person in charge". So basically he was going to appoint someone new, get quarterly updates, and pray everything gets fixed. Which is exactly the other candidate would do.

i see someone got a raging hard on when Obama was mentioned
Now list some changes that you notice personally, and that you notice globally. Because the world has turned into a fucking cesspool the last decades. Bush the war monger -> Obama the war monger -> Hillary the war monger. 4 more years of destruction! |

With all these changes, all the waste eliminated, and all new brilliant people hired to oversee the government spending, can you explain why ObamaCare website cost $2B+ of tax payer's money? source: Obamacare Website Costs Exceed $2 Billion, Study Finds - Bloomberg ...and that was 2 years ago, by now it's probably $3-4B....

I'm not sure I get it... can you explain it in different terms? Given that ObamaCare website cost $2B+, doesn't it mean that people that Obama hired and changes he made specifically to combat government waste failed miserably? Did you make a mistake by including these fuck ups in a list of his positive contributions?

My point was that like Fox News, some people focus on things like Obamacare which has not gone as well as it could have, granted, and ignore the hundreds of other good or great things he has done. Peace.
