President Obama: Irene ""historic"

haha don't be a dick. My point is that he is actually trying to take into account the wishes of both major parties and come to a compromise. That is something that the previous administration did not give a shit about. Specifically the Guantanamo Bay issue is something that is even given resistance on the left. I admire the fact that he seems to view politics not as a sporting event, with the Republicans are going against the Democrats. To bring up the point that he had a super-majority and should have taken advantage of it, speaks to the fact that he would be viewing the most important political points that affect every American's life as some sort of competition.
 
not sure how many times i have to reiterate that he simply replaced US soldiers with private military contractors (which allows him to dupe people like you, I suppose, into thinking we aren't in Iraq anymore)...
 
besides ruining any chance at rebuilding the economy? He isnt stopping an wars, he keeps giving free hanRAB outs, hes bending over backwarRAB and letting republicans fuck him straight in the asshole. he has 0 balls. etc
 
it was a mainstream news story in 2010. not as big as it shouldv'e been obviously, since it doesn't fit the narrative that democrats are antiwar and republicans hate civil liberties.
 
Are you retarded? He ended the war in Iraq, social welfare is still a ridiculously small part of our budget, and being bi-partisan is a good quality in a President. Seriously, you should probably leave this thread.
 
This is America. That doesn't work as already explained.
You didn't explain shit.


No it's not, I'm not for raising taxes, but you need to stop the tax cuts and institute real tax reform to bring rates down. Either end the tax cuts or eliminate tons of loopholes.

I definitely agree with eliminating the loopholes.


He is the president of the USA, close down the base and I'm glad you checked it out personally and no torture is going on

You really think torture is happening?

So just because soldiers aren't dying in droves anymore, we should continue to occupy a country and spend BILLIONS OF DOLLARS doing so.

Ummmm yes. Holding strategic positions militarily usually enRAB up as a good thing.

What has he missed out on doing in the housing market?

The housing market crashing had nothing to do with the laissez faire approach of the previous President. LET'S APPROVE EVERY LOAN.

Huh?
NO HIGH SPEED RAIL. AS IN, HE HASN'T BUILT ONE YET.

haha I would love it but is that even close to being a priority in this country?


Punching your g/f softer than her ex did is no excuse for punching your g/f. The federal government has revenue problems and spending is out of control.
GREAT ANALOGY.
 
He's trying too hard to be bipartisan, and that is the problem - he's the guy that REALLY wants to get elected to student government, and so he makes frienRAB with the goths, the jocks, the cheerleaders, the preps, the skateboarders, and everyone else so that he can be popular too.

That makes him a largely ineffectual leader, though - he has lost the respect of his own party, and he's failed to do anything that would have gained him respect from the Republicans. Rather than choosing issues to concede on while maintaining his position on others, he'll concede on anything if it means more people like him. Which, as it turns out, simply makes it more likely that everyone will oppose him to get concessions on any minor issue.

He got dealt a shitty hand, but rather than bluff or fold, he decided to just stare at it until everyone else at the table knew he didn't know what to do.
 
I understand what you're saying but I think once he's a lame duck he will get shit done. We finally have a super intelligent President that I believe in. I do agree that he should not have wasted a full term by being a push-over but I think he is set up to really get shit done upon his re-election.
