saved a lot of lives in the process too. and ended a world war.

There's some truth in that - I expected much more drastic changes, at least as far as the foreign policy goes...

Or that that Clinton removed the caps from bank loans to start the financial crisis. Or that the majority of Democrats agreed to go to war when Bush declared it.

Lovely rationalization, but Obama has had plenty of opportunity to reduce the debt. Instead, he's going to triple it and more, if he hasn't already(not sure if exact figures). You don't need to lie to yourself.

It's Bush's fault!!! Stupid liberals

no. It cost a lot of Japanese civilian lives and saved a lot of US military lives, but of course a Jap life is not worth the same eh. And the war pretty much over already.

No, the war in the Pacific was nowhere near ending. It was actually getting worse with the Kamikaze bullshit. I have no problems with the nuke being dropped in a time of war to effectively end the war over there. Instead of blaming the US, blame the ignorant Japanese. Even the Emperor wanted to concede the war.

silly little leftist. putting the war on the books adds $960 billion. by 2015, the deficit is expected to be 20 trillion dollars and you leftist idiots want to explain how the evil George Bush was responsible for 1/20th of it.

don't worry, you're going to get exactly what you deserve for supporting this clown:thumbsup

yeah the Japanese were real militaristic pricks for sure and I do blame them too.. I was just making a point and think it wasn't really necessary except to scare the shit out of the russians maybe but its nothing to do with your conversation here so ill leave it alone.

I love how the unintelligent and unaccomplished think that being a grunt elevates your intelligence to the level of the rest of us with a clue.

a grunt is a grunt for a reason. get back to me when you or the other grunts get promoted.:1orglaugh

Hey if Ben already knows how to "drive traffic" then he's got my vote.

They didn't kill people any deader' than the chemical weapons in Iraq did.

So did I,during Vietnam

Potato. That is all.

If you don't understand.try re-reading the post. Based on what I said,the US made the right decision to rid Iraq of the Husseins. Is that clear enough?

Because.... Obama hasn't landed us into two wars while allowing Iran to do whatever it want, and the worst recession in the past fifty years hasn't happened on Obama's watch.

The truth is a new president moves forward with a lot that the past president put into place. Why? It's simple. Right now we are still paying for shit the last guy did. Most of the stuff Obama is passing won't hit us for another 2 - 4 years. It's called passing the buck. That's the way it's always been done. "Pass a law now, but have the next guy pay for it in four years".

Thats how it always is. Someone fucks it up, the others spend 8 years restoring it while all 8 years the someones throw themselves on the ground and kick their legs and flail their arms.

We're in the worst depression since the Great Depression, so Obama has Bush on that one. Also, Minte if you really did serve in Vietnam, much respect. Finally, ignore Doc and Amputate. They don't deal with facts or common sense.

great excuse.

Saddam was a murderer, he was also the most "westernized" leader in the region. Islamists never liked Saddam, his daughters wore more make up than a $5 whore, he didn't spend money on Mosques, Saddam only spent money on Saddam.

All mouth and no teeth, we will never know if it was the right decision to remove him, but as the saying goes, sometimes "better the evil you know...."

Definitively more peacefull then the US :2 cents:

seems a fitting place before this goes too far.

Not only can you not spell, but you aren't even good at making shit up.

Teflon. :warning

since before you knew what the internet was.

I was awarded 5 military medals for my combat service in Iraq. Your biggest accomplishment is spending 9 years belittling people on GFY. I'll take title of "grunt" over that any day freak. :1orglaugh

Sure you were. If that's the case, I'm assuming you were shot in the head many times to the point where your brain cells are lacking. But I was in the NFL just like you were awarded 5 medals:)

i think jimmy carter was ok. :)

Barry Soetoro aka Barak Obama is the worse president in history

Well lets see, he passed healthcare on the promise that it would lower the cost of healthcare, it's gone up over 10% for most people this year

Arizona got so tired of the government not protecting them from illegal aliens, they passed a law, Obama sided with the Mexicans

Obama came in as the get uniter, yet the two parties haven't been this polarized in decades, even the liberals are getting pissed at him

Racism debates are at an all time high, Michelle give a speech at the NAACP and the next day, the NAACP declares the Tea Party as racist


There is no doubt that we've been living beyond our means and we're going to have to make some adjustments." -- Obama during the campaign.
, then send Michelle to Spain to close down the beach for her swin

The recovery act is making new jobs at a cost of about $650K per job

Cash for clinkers did more to help japanese companies

Obama did the bank reform thing, leaving out the two biggest mortgage firms, Fannie and Freddie


Obama criticized pork barrel spending in the form of 'earmarks,' urging changes in the way that Congress adopts the spending proposals. Then he signed a spending bill that contains nearly 9,000 of them


"Mr. Obama is an accomplished orator but is becoming known in America as the 'teleprompt president' over his reliance on the machine when he gives a speech."


Executives at AIG get $165 million in bonuses, despite receiving an $173 billion taxpayer bailout.


"After pushing Congress for weeks to hurry up and pass the massive $787 billion stimulus bill, President Obama promptly took off for a three-day holiday getaway before signing it."


"Obama soared to victory on the hopeful promise of a new era of bipartisanship. During his inaugural address he even promised an 'end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn-out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics.'

"Too bad it took all of three days for the promise to ring hollow.

"Start with Obama's big meeting with top congressional leaders on his signature legislation -- the stimulus -- on the Friday after his inauguration. Listening to Republican concerns about overspending was a nice gesture -- until he shut down any hopes of real dialogue by crassly telling Republican leaders: 'I won.' Even the White House's leaking of the comment was a slap at the Republican leadership, who'd expected Obama to adhere to the custom of keeping private meetings with congressional leadership, well, private.

"It's only gone downhill from there. The stimulus included zero Republican recommendations, and failed to get a single House Republican vote.

"It's not just the tactic of using Republicans for bipartisan photo-ops, and then cutting them loose before partisan decisions, that irks Obama's opponents. The new president wasted no time rushing forward with policies and legislation guaranteed to drive Republicans nuts. The first bill he signed into law was the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act -- a partisan hot-button that drew all of eight Republican supporters in the entire Congress. Then there was the swift reversal of Bush policies on abortion and embryonic-stem-cell research -- issues dear to the Republican base.

"And when Obama and the Democrats in Congress took up SCHIP -- the children's health-insurance bill that Republicans say vastly expands government's role in health care -- they had an easy chance for real bipartisanship. After all, the bill had been hashed out in the previous Congress, and a bipartisan accord was reached before President Bush responded with a veto. Did the Obama team push for the compromise version in the 111th Congress? Nope. They went back to the drawing board, ramming through the Democrats' dream version.

Nixes a "buy American" provision in the stimulus bill.


In their first meeting, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown gave Obama a carved ornamental penholder from the timbers of the anti-slavery ship HMS Gannet. Obama gave him 25 DVDs that don't work in Europe

now teflon x 2

DD214's don't lie. Demon's do. :)

some interesting stuff going on with ol Ben...

http://thedirty.com/2010/08/vote-for-ben-quayle/

Ben Quayle cancelled an interview on MSNBC today.

Pussification.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

keep in mind, if anyone lost it would be 'unconditional surrender'. back then no one knew what the hell that meant, thus guaranteeing the war was going to be fought till the last.

if we took terms, the world would probably be a different place

Putting the war on the books added about $1 trillion dollars to the debt, then it's expected to add another trillion if nothing changes. And then you guys sit here and argue about removing the tax cuts for the rich, yet think this shit is some how going to pay for itself. Bitch about it in one breath and again, expect something to magically happen that corrects it.

Btw, you're talking about speculation. Speculation that has already been incorrect, Obama himself did not double in debt and our country didn't fail in the first or second years - and it was said he would. The Speculation has already been proven incorrect and "assumes" no policies change, no laws change, no tax changes happen, it assumes he does exactly the same thing for the next 6 years as he did his "first" year in office.

Man the sheep mentality in you right wingers is off the chart.

Any sperm from his dad Dan must be as lame as that numbnut's

Sheep mentality defines the liberals. No need to think, ever.

Of course it didn't increase because of his healthcare bill... no part of the bill could have possibly increased healthcare costs yet.

Even though he continued the polices that allows growth in border patrol and more guard on actual duty than ever before and more federal arrests, etc. Basically the largest beef up on the border in history and he's not doing anything?

You ignore the constitution when it benefits you? Agree with the law or not, he's correct.


The majority are racists. I've hung around my family in Texas, I've talked to people in the bars... They have no issue saying what they think and it's damn sure racist until a black man or camera comes around. That isn't to say the NAACP isn't racists.



You can't take the total set aside and divide it by the jobs, it only works that way if you ignore every possible factor of what the was spent on within the economy. Cash for clunkers was to replace shit cars, it did that.

They still do home mortgages? Had no idea.


Oh my, double talk from a politician? Oh shit that makes him the worst president, eva!


What in the hell does this mater? How in hell does this make him the worst president vs. one that sounds like a bumbling idiot, whom was also reading from a teleprompter.


So you would rather the Gov tell a corporation what to do now? Wouldn't that be an issue for you if he did that? Even though he did later correct the problem, but I guess we can ignore that.


Transparency? You had time to read it and he couldn't change it, and you bitch?

This is what all the communists say... they want to do the thinking for you and ignore any truths. Take your communist traitor thoughts back to the mother land! :GFYBand
