You seem to have selective sight in these threads. Just like in my Wal-Mart thread where I was saying alot of good things about Wal-Mart, but, because you know I'm a liberal on most issues, you kept accusing me of hating Wal-Mart specifically and free markets in general, even though I said nothing of the sort. In fact, I said the exact opposite.

if thats what you call the fact that i don't read and re-read every reply in a thread.. uhmm.. ok. i have other things to do.

My problem with this kind of shit is people like you make it personal. With your retarded comments about black jesus and the messiah and shit like that. As if all 69 million people who voted for Obama agree with him 100% of the time on 100% of the issues and were in some sort of trance when they pulled the lever.

from my perspective thats very much what it is. as he was ramping up his campaign against hillary et al... his popularity was exploding... and he was saying nothing. he said literally nothing but "hope" and "change"... no one even know what that meant... all they knew is they wanted something that was the polar opposite of Bush... and that is how his popularity grew. If Hillary wasn't a mean, calculating, cold blooded shrew... she could have stood a chance. If McCain didn't look like a muppet from a star wars movie, he might have stood a chance. At the end of the day, the good looking guy with the best line of bullshit won.

If pisses me off that you have to insult me every time the guy I voted for does something you don't like....and what's even worse, this time, you're insulting him and me for doing something YOU APPARENTLY AGREE WITH.

get over it. its a message board called Go Fuck Yourself... not a message board called Hugs and Bunny Rabbits.
i don't agree with him at all. his mistake was making the promise to shut down Guantanamo simply because that was what his supporters wanted to hear and it was symbolic in "change" from Bush policies. But that promise was made with what seemed to be no consideration for the complexities of the situation, legal and otherwise.
his decisions today are due to the fact that now he has to confront those complexities in what he wanted everyone to believe was a simple black and white issue and is basically in a position where he has to continue policies and there is no outrage. There was a lot of outrage against Bush.. but no outrage at Obama for the same thing. At least Bush was just a retarded hick. Obama is a Constitutional Lawyer and has no excuse

So why should anything you say matter, when no matter what the President does, you're going to talk shit about it?
|
1) i don't want other people telling me what they are entitled to
2) i don't want a government that reinforces the idea of entitlements
3) i don't want government taking more of my money
4) i want a government that is tough on terrorism and has a policy shaped by the realities on the ground rather than fantastic feel good campaign promises
5) i don't want a government that props up failing companies
6) i don't want a government that raises taxes.
7) i don't want stronger unions
8) i don't want more spending on eduction since parents don't care enough to get involved in their own child's education and teachers unions leave no incentive to teachers to perform
9) i don't want a government voting to spend trillions as if its monopoly money
Pretty much everything i dislike about government, Obama represents. But that's not his fault. That's Republicans fault. However hypocrisy and lies ARE his fault. Just as Bush's were his. I am a pretty conservative guy and its also worth pointing out that in spite of how you want to stereotype my views... Bush was FAR from conservative.
These are just my opinions... just as your opinions are yours. Some day, when you are the one actually creating these jobs, having your wealth taken and having employees constantly tell you what they deserve (which never stops no matter what you give) you will understand some of the other sides of these issues.
