1. Obama accelerated the existing wars, and in fact started a couple new wars. Obama doubled our footprint in Afghanistan. Obama has been a formidable warlord. 2. Obama has added several trillion dollars of new debt SINCE he took office. 3. Obama created a new and unfunded entitlement program. 4. Obama sprends way more than Bush in terms of revenue. 5. Obama could have changed anything he wanted in terms of government policy - the fact of the matter is that he had a fillibuster-proof supermajority and he could have done ANYTHING he wanted in terms of policy or tax rates or revenue or whatever the fuck. 6. Roubini is a fucking idiot. Not as dense as Krugman in terms of sheer stupidity but not the sharpest knife in the drawer by any stretch of the imagination.
You're not helping man. I'm looking far and wide to come up with something Dumbo did RIGHT. Not his endless list of fuck ups.
Exactly. It's like a fire breaking out in your home in the kitchen. So, to get the fire put out, we are going to catch the master bedroom on fire.
JEM is simply brilliant. The easy road and the path of least resistance for the Washington professional politician: spend more money. Compare Illinois versus Indiana in terms of fiscal governance and health.
When I put in the word "honest", my intent was to prevent you from doing the tired, old "what is your greatest weakness? that would be that I try too hard to be excellent!" routine that newbie job seekers use.
He killed Osama. And Hollywood / Sony is going to make a big movie about it and release it a few months before the election. Again, Obama has been a very, very, effective warlord. Turns out Mr. Touchy Feely Progressive Leftist Socialist Hope and Change is a natural born killer. I give him props for that.
Boni, it does seem that more people are waking up as to what has been going on. Not enough yet, but seems like more. Probably due to smart people like me and you posting on the internet.
I would have said his foreign policy was good, as he got a few high level terrorists, like Osama Bin Laden, so i give him full credit for that, but then he has offset that by starting a new war in Libya, adding to Afghanistan, extending the patriot act, extending the TSA's powers, and creating a new law giving him the power to assasinate american citizens. He has done as much damage as Bush in terms of foreign policy, and the only thing he put an end to which was waterboarding terrorists, i actually thought was a good idea while it was going on. I guess he kept Guantanamo open which was a good idea. He extended the Bush tax cuts on the high income earners which was good, but that was offset by him making Bush's other tax cuts permanent which basically took a large percentage of America off of the income tax roles forever.
HUH, WTF are you talking about? Anyway I think I found one. I didn't fact check it but it appears BO Signed into law the right to carry guns into national parks. I "hope" one enough. It took me nearly an hour to find that one.
