The Obama Solution: "Blame It On Bush"

September 8, 2010 by  

The Obama Solution: "Blame It On Bush"

I have a sneaking suspicion that President Barack Obama has a sign on his Oval Office desk that reads, “The buck stops with Dubya.”

According to the Boston Herald, “Our President cannot resist a good opportunity to blame Bush.” The President has blamed Bush on everything from the credit crisis to Hurricane Katrina.

It was on the five-year anniversary of Katrina late last month that Obama showed courage in the face of criticism and calmly reiterated the message from that chart topping song a decade past, “It Wasn’t Me.”

Last month the President was campaigning for the upcoming elections in New Orleans, ground zero for Katrina. He told the audience that he would not abandon their cause. Then the President called Katrina and its aftermath not just a natural disaster but “a manmade catastrophe — a shameful breakdown in government that left countless men, women and children abandoned and alone.”

“Implicit in Obama’s remarks,” wrote The Associated Press: “is an indictment of sorts against former President George W. Bush’s administration for its handling of the crisis.”

When it comes to the Gulf Coast the President just can’t resist blaming Bush. During the height of the BP oil spill the President was at it again.

“For too long, for a decade or more, there has been a cozy relationship between the oil companies and the federal agency that permits them to drill,” said Obama from the White House Rose Garden last May. “It seems as if permits were too often issued based on little more than assurances of safety from the oil companies. That cannot and will not happen anymore."

In fact, the Obama administration has a laundry list about the previous President, two wars in the Middle East and an economy that can’t get traction. The way Obama is revving up for the fall elections you would almost think he himself was running against Bush.

While giving a speech last month, Obama said the Republican Party hasn’t differentiated itself from its predecessor.

“They don’t have a single idea that’s different from George Bush’s ideas — not one,” Obama said to applause. It seems that Obama thinks he is taking the high road as to not actually naming Bush but instead saying, “The previous administration.”

Countless times Obama has said that it is Republican policies which caused the recession.

“We got here after 10 years of an economic agenda in Washington that was pretty straight forward,” Obama said in August. “You cut taxes for millionaires, you cut rules for special interests, and you cut working folks loose to fend for themselves. That was the philosophy of the last administration and their friends in Congress.”

And it is not just Obama whose mantra is to fault Bush. Congressional Democrats like to blame the former President for just about everything. Even with the 2010 midterm elections a couple of months away, Democrats think that “blaming Bush” is still a winning strategy, even though they have had a majority for almost four years and Obama has been in control for nearly two.

I am not yet an old timer but I have been around the block. Never before have I seen a sitting President blame his predecessor the way Obama has blamed Bush.

Consider the mess Ronald Reagan inherited from Jimmy Carter.

When Reagan took office on Jan. 20, 1981, inflation was out of control, the economy was in a deep recession, and America was coming off of two oil embargoes which had lead to gasoline lines that stretched for blocks. On that day Iran still held American hostages and the nation’s standing in the world had never been lower.

Yet according to my research Reagan did not blame Carter once. Instead he got on about the business of leading the nation forward. And he did a damn fine job, coaxing legislation to stimulate the economy while curbing inflation and increasing jobs. Reagan also cut taxes, strengthened the nation’s armed forces and created renewed confidence in the United States such that the greenback surged.

The same could be said about President Lyndon B. Johnson, whose downfall was caused by Vietnam. It was President John F. Kennedy who first sent combat advisors to Vietnam and it was Kennedy’s Cabinet that urged Johnson to get tough on North Vietnam. Yet during his Presidency and the years that followed when he was on his ranch near Stonewall, Texas, Johnson did not blame JFK.

And was there ever a leader who could more easily blame his predecessor than Winston Churchill? It was Prime Minster Neville Chamberlain who placated Hitler and neglected Britain’s defense forces. It can be argued that Chamberlain laid the groundwork for World War II. Yet when Chamberlain died it was Churchill that defended him with a eulogy: “Neville Chamberlain acted with perfect sincerity according to his lights and strove to the utmost of his capacity and authority.”

Good leaders don’t make excuses and lament about their circumstances. They move forward. They lead. This is something that a whining and complaining Obama can’t seem to do, and the nation is suffering because of it.

Unemployment remains stunningly high, the housing crisis is unabated and investor confidence is shrinking rapidly. Late last month the Spectrem Millionaire Investor Confidence Index (SMICI) fell to its lowest level in more than a year as wealthy U.S. investors worried about politics and unemployment.

The SMICI fell 11 points in August to minus 18, its lowest level since June 2009, when it fell a record 18 points to minus 20 shortly after the S&P 500 index hit a 12-year low. Gluskin Sheff economist David Rosenberg calls current economic conditions “a depression, and not just some garden-variety recession,” and notes that any good news both during the initial 1929-1933 recession and the one that began in 2008 triggered “euphoric response.”

“Such is human nature and nobody can be blamed for trying to be optimistic; however, in the money management business, we have a fiduciary responsibility to be as realistic as possible about the outlook for the economy and the market at all times,” he said.

Rosenberg points out that encouraging gross domestic product (GDP) news happened in the period 1929-1933 where there were six quarterly bounces in GDP with an average gain of 8 percent.

“False premise,” warns Rosenberg. “We may well be reliving history here. If you’re keeping score, we have recorded four quarterly advances in real GDP, and the average is only 3 percent.”

Rosenberg points out that the “overall economic malaise” has come despite aggressive efforts by the Federal Reserve to stimulate the economy through rate cuts.

Given the growing economic crisis Obama would be smart to listen to political opponent, Senator John McCain, (R-Ariz.).

“George Bush looks like a piker compared to what has taken place since President Obama has come into the presidency,” McCain said. “He can keep ‘B.I.O.B.’ no matter what it is, ‘Blame it on Bush’ — he can keep that up. The American people are going to hold him accountable this November, not an administration that went out of power more than a year ago."

The problem is that the ultimate judgment on Obama won’t take place for another two years and two months. That’s another 26 more months of Obama blaming Bush while doing precious little else to reshape America’s fortunes. We can only hope that in the autumn of 2012 we have a new President; a President who gets on with the business of leading rather than finger pointing.

Yours for real wealth and good health,

    Respect?…I probably could count on one hand the number of conservatives that have given this President any respect. You all need to quit watching Fox (faux) News and watch the real “fair and balanced” news source such as c-span..or CNN.
    **********************************
    ciniowa…Too many folks have been lead to believe that respect is given as you obviously do.
    Respect is earned and from where I stand Obama hasn’t done a thing for America except to pound it into the ground , liars and crooks do not get my respect .

    • http://?? Joe H.

      Mick,
      I’ll repeat this for ciniowa. Mark Twain quote: “Respect your country always! Respect your government when they EARN it!” Nobama has not earned ANY respect from me!!!

  • HFlashman

    Sigh…trying to deflect the current situation onto Pres. Obama seems to be a favorite these days.

    Forget the AIG giveaway (we will never see that money again), forget the sweetheart deals the Bush controlled SEC gave Wall Street, forget TARP I, forget the 2009 budget with trillion dollar deficits was Bush, forget that in eight years, Bush created less than 50,000 jobs overall, forget the unfunded mandates and federal government over reach into our privacy and freddoms, forget two wars, the waste of a surplus so the wealthy get wealthier while the Middle Class loses ground, forget the “lead by fear’ policy, forget the ignoring of our manufacuring, our education, our technical exprtise, forget selling out to China or the holding of the Saudi hands (andthe kiss)…it’s not Bush’s fault…Pres. Obama has had 18 months to turn the worst economic and foreign position we have had since the Great Depression…gee, what’s wrong with him?

    Let’s see…

    He saved this Nation from another Great Depression
    He insituted TARP II which we will make money from
    He saved untold tens of thusand of jobs and our auto industry …again, which we will make money on
    He has restored America’s mantle of leadership in the world
    He got us out of Iraq and taken the fight where it should have been..to those that attacked us on 9/11..the Taliban and al Qaeda
    He has begun restoring the Middle Class and giving us an even break
    Overhauled our financial system (with great opposition from the GOP who didn’t want reform)
    He gave us tax breaks

    And he has created a recovery which is by most accounts outstripping recoveries of the past.

    PRIVATE sector job growth is averaging 100,000 this year. Overall job growth has shrunk…because government jobs are being cut. Yes…fact is fact. Obama is SHRINKING government jobs while the private sector is adding them !

    He proposes tax breaks for small business and inovative growth sectors….opposed by the GOP who want only to give the wealthy more of our money

    Manufacturing expanded last month at a quicker rate than forecast

    More U.S. stocks are paying dividends that exceed bond yields than any time in at least 15 years as profits rise at the fastest pace in two decades. [The last time the number of S&P 500 companies paying dividends above the corporate bond rate approached the current level was in March 2003, data compiled by Bloomberg show. That was just after the start of a bull market in which the equity index more than doubled over five years]

    S&P 500 companies’ cash has grown to a record for a seventh straight quarter. Cash represents over 10% of total assets now…compared to a tepid and declingin 7.95 in 2008.

    The technical data is strong, jobs are coming back. The last recession…even with the stimulus package Bush ut in…it took 21 months from the end of the recovery to show any job growth…not just job growth to make up for the job losses…job growth period.

    Yet….no credit to Pres. Obama. Nope…just whine and moan and refuse to help America from the Right (most on this board may take offense as they realize I talk of them). Not once…not one time..has th GOP done anything this past 18 months but say ‘no’ and complain the fatcats aren’t getting fatter at our expense.

    All the TPers and the Right want to do is whine, moan, cower in fear and hate. And want someone else to bail their sorry as* out.

    • http://yahoo Gofer

      You forgot to mention how thre half-breed and the Dems stole the senior citizians COLA. In case you don’t know what COLA is that cost of living allowance. For 2009 and 2010. and they will most likely steal it again in 2011 and 2012.

      • Greg

        I thought the (TEA Party) seniors wanted “personal responsibility”….NO ENTITLEMENTS. Social Security is UN- Constitutional. You can’t have it both ways.

      • HFlashman

        He also forgot to mention COLA is for off setting inflation…which we didn’t have.

      • Strawberry Shortcake

        It is Greggg. Duhh. But those people already PAID their money into it. It’s a catch 22 now, just as it was designed to be. They deserve back what the were FORCED to pay into.

      • Wayne

        Greg, why shouldn’t they get it. They have paid into it all their working lives. Would you want to deprive folks who are now unable to work of something they have earned? Come on, Greg, you really don’t meant this.

      • Greg

        Wayne…please read the entire post.

      • Brad

        Greg,

        Man you are not right, social security is constitutional read this http://www.ssa.gov/history/court.html For any person who’s on SS, SSD, and other forms of SS have been entitled to a COLA, Cost Of Living Adjustments in accordance with current law. Now, all federal retirees and elderly on SS receive money’s from the government, when CPI Consummer Price Index is up every federal/SS recipient gets there COLA increase, when the CPI is down no one gets a COLA increase.

        I’m retired Navy, my retainer check and COLA increases are dermined by the CPI, I did not see a COLA raise this year and won’t see one next year. The gentalman who posted above may even be correct, we may not see our next raise until 2013 or 2014.

        My point was and is that you can’t cry because you aren’t getting increases in your entitlements when in the next breath you want to say entitlements are UN-Constitutional.

        Five goals from the tea parties
        Leaders want to repeal health care, cut federal programs.
        **
        What happens if the tea parties win in November?
        **
        If candidates sympathetic to the movement gain power, the activists will have influence inside the halls of the Capitol for the first time. We asked tea-party leaders what they plan to do once they can put down the protest signs and participate in lawmaking.
        **
        Unsurprisingly, different groups within the movement had different ideas of what should happen next.
        **
        Some in the intentionally leaderless movement want to focus on social issues like immigration, others on fiscal concerns like tax credits. Another faction wants to avoid policy altogether and remain focused on election campaigns.
        **
        But they appear to share at least five common goals for the next year:
        **
        1) Repeal the health-care law. Opposition to the Democrats’ health overhaul continues to bind the movement. Activists are working on state-level initiatives to undo the health-care mandate, and they fully expect conservative lawmakers to try the same at the federal level next year.
        **
        “Those that won’t support the overturn of health care are going to be targeted in 2012,” said William Temple, a Georgia tea partyer known for dressing up in Founding Fathers costumes at rallies.
        **
        2) Cut entitlement programs. Many activists believe the way to downsize the federal government is to cut back on social security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Even those tea partyers who benefit from such programs could get behind it, Seattle-based activist Keli Carender said.
        **
        “We’re going to have to have a real conversation, and an uncomfortable one. We have to sacrifice,” she said.
        **
        3) Hold the newly elected accountable. After spending months helping tea-party supporters get elected, tea-party activists know they will have to keep a watchful eye on Congress to make sure their investments pay off.
        **
        “The real work begins on November 3,” Greg Holloway of the Austin Tea Party Patriots said. “We need to make sure that people in all areas of government, federal especially, vote along the principles that they will be elected upon.”
        **
        If they don’t, tea partyers plan to fall back on tried-and-true protest tactics against the lawmakers.
        **
        4) Focus on local races. Not everyone wants to focus on policy. Some tea partyers believe their movement should be an electoral one, focused on infiltrating government at all levels so that conservatives gain long-term power.
        **
        “It’s time to put down the protest sign and pick up the campaign sign,” said Mark Williams, the controversial tea partyer who recently became president of a third party, Conservative Party U.S.A.
        **
        5) Pick a presidential candidate. Tea parties clashed in some Congressional districts over which candidate to support in midterm elections. They can’t afford to disagree when it comes to the 2012 presidential race, Judson Phillips of Tea Party Nation said.
        **
        “A lot of groups are realizing that we don’t have to like each other and we don’t have to get along, but we do have common goals and we need to find a strategy or we’ll be screwed,” he said.

        Joe Miller: No Social Security For Future Generations
        09- 2-10 03:14 PM | Updated: 09- 2-10 03:31 PM
        **
        Alaska Republican Senate candidate Joe Miller repeated his view Wednesday that the United States needs to fundamentally rethink Social Security.
        **
        “Longer term, there has got to be a move outside of that system,” Miller told CNN’s John King. “Ultimately we want to transfer the power back to the states so that states can take up the mantle of those programs if they so desire.”
        **
        Miller previously said that the U.S. should “transition out of the Social Security arrangement.”
        **
        King, noting that Miller’s position is something Democrats have pounced on, asked Miller to make himself perfectly clear — that he wouldn’t take away Social Security checks from the people who currently count on them, but that he’d like to do away with the program for future generations. King asked: “Would [a person born the day Miller was sworn in] perhaps grow up in an America where there is not a federal Social Security program if you got your way?”
        **
        “Absolutely,” Miller said.
        **
        Miller, who upset incumbent Sen. Lisa Murkowski in Alaska’s Republican primary this week, previously suggested that unemployment insurance, part of the Social Security Act of 1935, is unconstitutional. “The Supreme Court has already ruled on the Social Security Act. There was a case in 1937,” said Nancy Altman, author of a book on Social Security. “Joe Miller’s in a time machine.”
        **
        When it comes to old-age insurance Miller focuses on Social Security’s solvency: “I think most Americans recognize that that system is broken and they understand that there has got to be a change longer term to bring back some fiscal sanity and to ensure that you can actually have something when you do retire rather than depend on these IOUs that when we go insolvent aren’t going to be worth much.”

      Great points…I wonder how long it will take the new, freshly scrubbed (long hoped for) TEA Party Senators and Representatives will take to realize that what they fervently promised to undo…their followers won’t let them undo.
      ***
      You asked what’s wrong with Obama…frankly, he’s young, Harvard educated (where he taught Constitutional Law), he’s a Democrat, he’s got a foreign sounding name, he’s from Chicago, he’s really different and therefore scary…I could go on. He also still has 50% support for his policies even though many people are not happy with him because he’s not Liberal enough.

      • CONSERVATIVE AT BIRTH

        Obama never taught Constitutional Law at Harvard!!!!!!! You are either totally ignorant or you are brainwashed. Which is it?

      • Greg

        Q:
        Was Barack Obama really a constitutional law professor?
        When I was in law school, I addressed all of my course instructors as “professors,” regardless of their rank or formal position in the school academic hierarchy (tenured professor, assistant professor, adjunct professor, lecturer, etc.). Was Obama exaggerating or factually wrong in referring to himself as a “constitutional law professor” at the University of Chicago Law School even though his official title was lecturer?
        A:
        His formal title was “senior lecturer,” but the University of Chicago Law School says he “served as a professor” and was “regarded as” a professor.
        Sen. Obama, who has taught courses in constitutional law at the University of Chicago, has regularly referred to himself as “a constitutional law professor,” most famously at a March 30, 2007, fundraiser when he said, “I was a constitutional law professor, which means unlike the current president I actually respect the Constitution.” A spokesman for the Republican National Committee immediately took exception to Obama’s remarks, pointing out that Obama’s title at the University of Chicago was “senior lecturer” and not “professor.”

        UC Law School statement: The Law School has received many media requests about Barack Obama, especially about his status as “Senior Lecturer.” From 1992 until his election to the U.S. Senate in 2004, Barack Obama served as a professor in the Law School. He was a Lecturer from 1992 to 1996. He was a Senior Lecturer from 1996 to 2004, during which time he taught three courses per year. Senior Lecturers are considered to be members of the Law School faculty and are regarded as professors, although not full-time or tenure-track. The title of Senior Lecturer is distinct from the title of Lecturer, which signifies adjunct status. Like Obama, each of the Law School’s Senior Lecturers have high-demand careers in politics or public service, which prevent full-time teaching. Several times during his 12 years as a professor in the Law School, Obama was invited to join the faculty in a full-time tenure-track position, but he declined. FactCheck.org March 28, 2008

        Greg, I hope you are aware that an over educated person can sometime lack common sense. We need some one as our president that has commom sense. It would be nice for our president to have a business background, and some experience in running a busines, not necessarily a law degree. Lawyers, at times tend to muddy the waters so people cannot see the truth.

      • Greg

        Wayne…would you prefer an unintelligent person? We just got rid of that when Bush left office. Education is nothing to be feared, unless you are the uneducated.

        Greg,
        you DO know that this article was later denied by a former professor, don’t you? What might cause Harvard to put out a false report?? Hmmmm, Oh yes, they always want a president on the rolls!!! How many do they have on the rolls now?? And to be able to say that they had a president TEACHING at their school at one time??? WOW!!! Get the hint??

      • wayne

        Gregg, Obama is only educated in books, he does not have any practical experience, or common sense. To prove my point take an electronics course for how ever long as you like, in a class room, say for 4 years. Afterwards go out in the field and see if you can do the actual work. I guarantee you, you will not be able to do it. You need practical experience. What I am trying to tell you is that Obama may have the book kmnowledge, but he certainly does not have practical experience. He needs to go so we can put a more well rounded person, say some one who know about finances.

    • thinking

      Mr Obama hflashman, thank you for your turly honest remarks about the job you have done. I hope you have enjoyed all your vacations. Please increase the taxes on the rich so the poor can create more jobs. You are doing a good job helping move all the business money out of their hands and into the government hands where it does the most good. Yes everything that is wrong is because of Bush, dont let the truth stop you from blaming him and the republicans as they are evil and must be removed. God bless and good luck. Please send me money, thanks.

    • Jeep

      I just couldn’t get past that first line Flash, you know, “Sigh…trying to deflect the current situation onto Pres. Obama seems to be a favorite these days”. So, the question is, at what point does this “current situation” become Oman’s “situation”? Or, does it ever? I mean really, we could then say that Bush inherited a “situation”, so you can’t blame him. And, you know that Clinton inherited a “situation”, as well. So, really, they cannot be “blamed” either. You lib idiots are all the same. At whatever the cost to your integrity, you will never accept any responsibility.

      • eddie47d

        You die hard Republicans blamed Clinton plenty so where was your responsibility?

      • Jeep

        You know eddie, I rarely ever read your comments, they are way to partisan and usually lack substance. But, I am glad I read this one. Could you please point out to me where the “new rule” is written? You know the “new rule” that since Clinton received “blame” that it is okay to “blame Bush”. Such infallible leaps of logic are surely written in some etiquette manual on who to blame and when.

      hey, Flashy. How are you going to like the financial reform bill when it takes effect? No more free checking. 1% assessed to EVERY transaction brokered thru a bank? And let’s see. In the Obamacare bill, there’s this little thing that went with it to impose a 3.8% surcharge on EVERY home sale. You will not be able to not be taxed on your health insurence premiums. You will not be able to keep your current health insurance because of a little clause that states that if ANYTHING changes in your current coverage YOU LOSE. Get a brain. I don’t want the feds up mu butt interfering in my health care choices OR knowing what the state of my health is. You want the change and to keep blaming someone, keep it. Don’t try to force it on the rest of us.

      We did! Chevy paid it back. A wise and excellent decision by Obama.

      BTW, Ford that was boycotted by the christian American Famaily Association (AFA)didn't require any government help. Just goes to show that a company that markets to ALL Americans can do very well! How's that' for capitalism?

    Your research on Reagan is faulty. Reagan blamed Carter over and over again. How many months was it before employment started to improve after Reagan’s tax cuts?

    • CONSERVATIVE AT BIRTH

      How many years did it take to get the tax cuts? Do you know? I doubt it. Congress was in control of making the laws not the President. Who controlled both houses of Congress? Do You know? I doubt it.

    When Pres. Bush left office, the Federal deficit was $161 billion. With Obama in office, the first deficit under his administration was $485 billion…..and $1400 billion in 2009…..in other words….a trillion, four hundred billion.
    Just wait until the end of 2010………

    I WOULDN’T WANT TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THESE DEFICITS, EITHER……

    Instead of accepting the responsibility for this fiasco, Pres. Obama chooses the cowards way out……
    THE BLAME GAME IS ALIVE AND WELL, AND LIVING IN THE WHITE HOUSE…….!

    • Greg

      The books were cooked. Bush and Co did not put the cost (10 BILLION dollars a month X 8 years = 960 BILLION dollars) of the Afghan and Iraq wars into the budget. They were “emergency funds”.
      ***
      Obama and Co put that money back on the books.

      • Brad

        Greg,

        Go to the CBO web site and look up BG budgit deficit numbers, they were going down even with his war spending. His last two budgits went through the roof with defecit spending, why, because congress was controlled by the democ “Rats”. Sitting presidents forward there administrations budgit recommendations to congress who in turn acept or reject the budgit and for the last two years of the Bush administration the Rats have spent more money than a drunkin sailor. Put blame were blame needs to be and check out the CBO website, its an eye opener.

      • Jeep

        Please, Brad, stop confusing Greg with reality. When Greg looks at his lib talking points page, the real CBO numbers aren’t there.

        You are so right. All I can see with my “Democrat eyes” is free Government cheese, a recliner, a coupon for an abortion…and wait…your driver’s license! Oh, it must be your wallet I am digging through (you know because I am a lazy Democrat).

      Ramon, you spoke of Bush trampling on the Constitution and then claimed he “raped” social security. You cannot use those two words those three words in comparison, you know why? Social security is unconstitutional, it is yet another social entitlement. Let the people keep the money they earn and save it, invest it, or spend it as they wish. It is not the government’s job to “spread the wealth.” And on a side note, do your research, social security was emptied long before Bush.

    Bush puppets in control for 8 years. I think it would be more appropriate to blame Cheney. I think that President Obama will be the best president ever. Instead of criticizing him, come up with a list of comparisons.

    Start with how the republicans STOLE the elections in Florida with lies; to how Americans being spied on by its own government; accelerated, especially during the bush administration. Mention the “illegal” war. Why were we in Iraq in the first place, because, I quote, “Sadam Husein tried to kill my father”. As a result, is why thousands of Americans were killed? Then Bush should have gone over there himself and settled the score. Europeans thought Americans were hypocrites, because we re-elected Bush. I learned my lesson. Every time you criticize a presidents who did INDEED inherit a mess, a pig sty, I’m suspect about the writer’s motives.

    • THINK ABOUT

      As a popular statement by Dr Phil, “You can’t change what you do not acknowledge” could apply to everyone. The same people who are whining about blaming Bush are the ones blaming Obama. Have you ever read, heard or thought problems was Republician, Liberal, Libertian, or Tea Party? It is always the blame game. I am still waiting for a plan to come out of any party which will start correcting the problems and you can bet it will not be “NO”.

      • CONSERVATIVE AT BIRTH

        What problems need to be corrected?

You have a hornets nest of things on your to do list.

      • Lewis Munn

        I cannot help but notice when Obama takes a vacation all the nation’s problems get solved, so he can take another vacation immediately.

        So yeah, he has fixed everything, so I see no more problems.

        And all will be well-er when the old people, other than in government and protected industries are kill at 65 as a drain on the economy!

      • eddie47d

        Lewis ;”kill at 65 as a drain” How moronic of you and I’m being very kind.

      • Claire

        Bush took his share of vacations too. So they both are guilty of this as far as I am concerned. On another note, I did not approve of Michelle going to Spain. Since she wanted to go, she should have paid for everything and for her staff, out of her own pocket. I would like to go on a super duper vacation but it costs too much, besides I have too many dogs. It would cost me a fortune to board them. I wouldn’t leave them anyway, just being silly.
        Also, new furniture in the White House? What was wrong with the “old” stuff? With today’s economy it is kinda foolish don’t you think? If we have to tighten our belts, then they should do the same. I apply this sentence to all politicians. I have lived through hard times but I don’t think I necessarily like stuff thrown in my face. Maybe I’m jealous? Nope, I am satisfied with my life.

      • Vicki

        eddie47d asks:
        “What have YOU done about Wall St?”

        Nothing needs to be done about Wall Street. Let them play games with paper. Keeps them off the streets.

        “Big Pharma?”

        Get out of their way so they can discover drugs that people want to buy.
        If people don’t like the price then don’t pay it.

        “Financial Reform?”

        Lower taxes so business can get going again. Thats reform you can believe in.

        “Oil Disasters?”

        Happen. The people trying to harvest the oil have a lot to loose when it gets away. That is their harvest they lost. Lots of wealth got away.

        “Mindless wars?”

        Don’t happen. A lot of thought goes into any war.

        “Credit gouging?”

        Does not exist. No one but government has ever forced you to buy something and that only recently.

        “Infrastructure failures?”

        When they happen you repair them.

        “Outsourcing?”

        What do you need done?

        “Gas mileage?”

        Is a term for efficiency not a problem..

        “Bank scams?

        Fraud is already illegal.

        “Alternative Energy?”

        Is a term for energy derived from sources other than oil. Been using it since the early 19′s (Yes water power was used by the greeks 2000 years ago. Oh and don’t forget the famous windmills of Holland.) Alternative energy is a definition not a problem.

        “Campaign reform?”

        Vote libertarian.

        “Environmental damages”

        Clean them up.

        “Who’s always against Reform of anything?”

        Socialists?

        “Who’s against Corporate responsibility when they screw up?”

        Apparently Democrats and Rinos judging by the several big bailouts voted for by a Democrat Congress EVERY time and both a Democrat President and a RINO President.

    • Wayne

      I think this is the 4th time I have had to repeat this, Ann. I won’t do it anymore. Read all the comments and you will see where I said, remember, the Democrats have been in control of Congress since 2006. Gosh, I am getting tired of repeating this. Read all the comments before you start blaming some one, please. The president needs the approval of Congress to be able to do most anything, with the exception of Obama, of course. It seems he skirts around Congress by hiring Czars, like Communist Van Jones, and other Socialist. Keep sticking up for him and we will know how to peg you. Obama knows that he could never get his kind of people through Congress if Congress would just do their job, and vet the people that Obama is picking as his special Czars. We don’t need a dictator, we need a president that goes along with the Constitution and the laws already in place.

      • truesoy

        wayne;

        For your information ‘czars’ was the name given to cabinet members under Bush, and there were more then that there are now. Also, under the the Bush administration, government’s bureaucracy and inefficiency was answered with more government, hence, the creation of Homeland Security Dept. So much for conservatism’s ‘small’ government filosophy. There lies their problem, they don’t live by what they preach, and this is tru on moral issues, too.

  • http://netscape Robert

    • Strawberry Shortcake

      So Beth, let me get this straight YOU think that Obama doing things like his latest idea of taking MORE money to try to “help” the economy and then turning around to pay for it out of a gas tax that will affect everyone negatively is going to help fix everything? You don’t think that pushing through huge bills that NO ONE has read DESPITE the overwhelming amount of outrage against them (WE the PEOPLES outrage) is non-criminal? How about the bills that have things stuffed quietly in the middle of them, like no more private school loans, without anyone’s knowledge, most particularly WE the PEOPLE, is that not treasonous? Get over Bush. There’s one master and they all serve it.

      No matter what happens in November, it’s a band-aid at best. As long as there is a public school system this will all happen again and again, until they are successful. It’s called brainwashing and isn’t just universities…it is alive and well in our kindergarten rooms, second grade rooms, seventh grade classrooms…

        …and btw, I think John Conyers said it best, don’t you? I mean, I know he’s no Limbaugh, Beck or Palin. He’s just a Democratic congressman. But hey, I’ll post it anyway:

        Why don’t we just start with Pelosi who admitted, “We have to vote for this bill to find out what is in it.”

        Maybe I am mistaken but she admits here that she did not read it herself.

        Does it make sense to anyone that no congressman took credit for authoring the healthcare bill? Then who wrote it? Bill Ayres? Jeff Jones? Bernadine Dorn? Makes you wonder.

    • Strawberry Shortcake

      P.S. Beth and all you fools that think Obama inherited a “big mess”

      Two years prior to the traitor taking office:

      110th Congress (2007-2009)

      Majority Party: Democrat (49 seats)

      Minority Party: Republican (49 seats)

      Other Parties: 1Independent; 1 Independent Democrat

      Total Seats: 100

      I’m no fan of most Republicans, they are merely the other hand on the same body, but hell, let’s face it, they have always had a track record of being a little bit more fiscally responsible then the Dems.

Then he just kept sounding the alarm over and over with terror alerts. False terror alerts. Then he created a reason to go to war with Iraq. He said GOD told him to do it. Not my GOD. Sounds more like advise from Alluh to drag America down.

      • CJ

        To Jamie,

        “He, Bush , was the President when 9/11 happened. If he could keep us safe that wouldn’t have happened.”

        Are you serious?!!!! I had to read your post twice trying to ascertain if you were being sarcastic. If you’re not serious, I apologize, but if you are…well, blaming Bush for 9/11 is stupid beyond belief. I hate to get into the blame game – because it is generally a waste of energy, but sometimes one must stoop to explain things to those who don’t “get it” (usually to children, idiots and liberals. Ah, but I repeat myself). There are many who say that Clinton’s lackluster performance on defense and intelligence issues helped contribute to the rise of bin Laden, but I remember reading articles about the threat he posed as far back as the early 80′s so he was a problem even before Clinton, and long before Bush. Who is responsible? I don’t know, but to hold Bush or anyone person responsible for 9/11 is ridiculous.

        Bush wasn’t perfect, but I don’t doubt his love for this country and I believe he did his best to protect us, especially after 9/11 (Patriot Act notwithinstanding). In contrast, Obama (and his wife), have proven through their own words and deeds that they don’t love our respect our country: past, present or future. If our Commander and Chief isn’t proud of his country, what kind of message does that send the rest of world? I also believe his obvious weakness encourages despots, who, like hungry vultures, start to circle when they detect signs of poor health. We need to shake off the stench that is Obama, Pelosi, Reid and others like them and voting is the only way we can do it.

        In closing, the reason why intelligent people despise Obama is because we have long recognized that he doesn’t have a single quality – NOT A ONE – that makes him worthy of leading this great nation. Sadly, he can only lead us to ruin through his ignorance and arrogance, the two things of which he has a surfeit.

        And he is probably not as bad as Chester Arthur, who recently had his REAL Birth certificate located in Canada, and it was proven he was an illegal non-citizen President. Explains why he cared so little for the country and was such a bad President.

        But my Congressman has seen Obama’s birth paper, and swears it is all kosher, so being a non-citizen cannot be why he is such a bad President.

    Perhaps if Bush had recognized and admitted his mistakes along with the folks who always protected him, then perhaps he could have and would have changed his policies. So now, it is Obama’s fault about the response to Katrina along with all the other whinings. In the oil industry, they know better methods and shortcuts in their operation. I am sure when the smoke clears on the BP oil spill, the conclusion will be money was not saved by the short cuts. Should they have to have regulations, should not have to but then when the train jumps the track then someone else gets blamed. What is the difference in anyone blaming Bush or Obama for everything that goes wrong, neither solves the problem. I see comments made which are not correct but bet those folks will not admit their beliefs are incorrect so they continue to tell the same untruths.

    Jim, if you want off the list there’s a link right under the white box you just typed in (ya know, AFTER you put your name and EMAIL address in to post such a moronic response) that says UNSUBSCRIBE. See that’s what’s wrong with you liberals…none of you can think for yourselves.

    Additionally…uh, during the ‘previous administration’ didn’t we have a Democratic congress for a number of those years…?

    • CONSERVATIVE AT BIRTH

      Actually the Republicans have never had a fillabuster proof majority in the Senate, which is why they had to compromise with the Democrats and suset the tax increases. It is also why they could never get modifications to semi-privatize social security which I have proposed since 1964.

  • ciniowa

    Respect?…I probably could count on one hand the number of conservatives that have given this President any respect. You all need to quit watching Fox (faux) News and watch the real “fair and balanced” news source such as c-span..or CNN.

    • http://ahalbert@smart-technology.net Allan Halbert

      If liberals wanted conservatives to “respect” the next president, they should have lightened up on the Bush bashing during the previous eight years. That has changed public discourse forever. You reap what you sow.

      • Craig

        Come now, it is going to take more than stop Bush bashing for liberals to earn right thinking peoples respect. Maybe when the liberals grow a brain, stop trying to screw America by turning it into a socialist state. Things like that might earn them a grain of sand of respect.

      • ciniowa

        and you will keep following your druggie of choice..Rush Limbaugh!

      • LinfromNC

        “druggie” or not, at least he speaks the truth and he does have the highest-rated talk-radio program in the United States so I guess I’m not the ONLY one that listens, hmmmm? As they say I guess the truth hurts, huh? Speaking of truths why can’t we get ANY truths out of this guy.. EVER? If he can’t release his “records” to the public which, should be simple enough, how can I trust him with anything else? I am floored that this guy still has “followers”… what’s the guy have to do (or not do in his case) for you “followers” to WAKE UP! I guess it’s all in the Kool-Aid?? I am SO looking forward to the day I can tell all you OBUMMER fans that “I TOLD YOU SO” !!!! That day is coming soon!

      • http://personalLibertynews Jamie

        Lin the next time you get a chance to talk to Limbo see if he’s still mad about helping Obama get elected. Without Limbo’s help during the primares Obama wouldn’t have ever got elected. I think he hates Obama so much because he feels guilty. No one listens to talk radio except haters and blamers. Never heard Limbo say anything about Bushes excesive spending. Bushes vacations? Bushes failures from 9/11? If he looked at that Presidency with the same eyes he looks at this one he’d be more credible. He’s just an entertainer trying to make money off of hate. And your enabling him.

        I believe the Sierra Club gave him an award as well for helping to underscore the idiocy of NOT believing in climate change. Rush helped the Sierra Club raise a record amount of money.

One of your Liberal elitists, Al Gore, got rich off a damn hoax!_-there the ones you ought to ticked off at!!__ At least Limbaugh backs up what he says__your free to check the facts yourself! Unless your too lazy too, in which case will leave you room to spout off a bunch of lies!

      • Greg

        Rush Limbaugh lies so loudly and with such conviction that the susceptible believe him. I wonder if he believes his own lies? I don’t think he does because he’s too shrewd for that.
        **
        Now Glen Beck…he might believe his own lies and actually seems to be a pathological liar. He is someone to watch because when the meltdown comes it’s going to be ugly. It won’t be simple drug addiction like Rush…probably a nervous breakdown or worse.

      • Robert Smith

        Spoken like a true dittohead. If Rush wants you to have an opinion he’ll sure give it to you.

        Let’s look at one of his outright lies…

        Rush said on Jun 9,2004 about AIDS spreading into the heterosexual community: >>>”And they used that as — as one of the weapons to try to get people like Reagan to start talking about it from their standpoint. And of course it — it hasn’t. It — it didn’t, and it hasn’t, other than in Africa, and in Africa it is — it is being spread not just by — it — it — it’s promiscuity that — that — that spreads this, if you want to know the truth. It’s promiscuity.
        But it — it hasn’t made that jump to the heterosexual community.”

        In fact the spread of AIDS had made the “jump” to the heterosexual community in America.

        It’s fun pointing these things out whenever someone wants to us Rush as a “source.” His lies are well documented.

The others are deluded into thinking that Rush Limbaugh, who has made multi-millions of dollars over the last 20 years or so lambasting everyTHING there is…old people, poor people, retarded people, homeless people, Democrats, Republicans…anything and anyone you can think of. He just says something shocking and some people can’t help but take it as Gospel. He’s the Howard Stern of political radio (without the sex, thank God). He’s a joke.

      Elizabeth has proven once again how Republicans cherry pick Their news and leave important facts of an article out.

  • Elizabeth

    Subject: That Darn George Bush!!….

    Here’s an opinion piece by Chuck Green who writes “Greener Pastures” for the Denver Post Aurora Sentinel…one of the more liberal papers in the country. Additionally, Mr. Green is a life long Democrat…so this is rather a stunning piece…

    Obama is victim of Bush’s failed promises
    Greener Pastures Column — 5/ 15/10

    Barack Obama is setting a record-setting number of records during his first year in office.
    Largest budget ever. Largest deficit ever. Largest number of broken promises ever. Most self-serving speeches ever. Largest number of agenda-setting failures ever. Fastest dive in popularity ever.

    Wow! Talk about change.

    Just one year ago, fresh from his inauguration celebrations, President Obama was flying high. After one of the nation’s most inspiring political campaigns, the election of America ‘s first black president had captured the hopes and dreams of millions. To his devout followers, it was inconceivable that a year later his administration would be gripped in self-imposed crisis.

    Of course, they don’t see it as self-imposed. It’s all George Bush’s fault.

    George Bush, who doesn’t have a vote in congress and who no longer occupies the White House, is to blame for it all.

    He broke Obama’s promise to put all bills on the White House web site for five days before signing them.

    He broke Obama’s promise to have the congressional health care negotiations broadcast live on C-SPAN.

    He broke Obama’s promise to end earmarks.

    He broke Obama’s promise to keep unemployment from rising above 8 percent.

    He broke Obama’s promise to close the detention center at Guantanamo in the first year.

    He broke Obama’s promise to make peace with direct, no precondition talks with America ‘s most hate-filled enemies during his first year in office, ushering in a new era of global cooperation.

    He broke Obama’s promise to end the hiring of former lobbyists into high White House jobs.

    He broke Obama’s promise to end no-compete contracts with the government.

    He broke Obama’s promise to disclose the names of all attendees at closed White House meetings.

    He broke Obama’s promise for a new era of bipartisan cooperation in all matters.

    He broke Obama’s promise to have chosen a home church to attend Sunday services with his family by Easter of last year.

    Yes, it’s all George Bush’s fault. President Obama is nothing more than a puppet in the never-ending failed Bush administration.

    If only George Bush wasn’t still in charge, all of President Obama’s problems would be solved. His promises would have been kept, the economy would be back on track, Iran would have stopped its work on developing a nuclear bomb and would be negotiating a peace treaty with Israel . North Korea would have ended its tyrannical regime, and integrity would have been restored to the federal government.

    Oh, and did I mention what it would be like if the Democrats, under the leadership of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, didn’t have the heavy yoke of George Bush around their necks? There would be no ear marks, no closed-door drafting of bills, no increase in deficit spending, no special-interest influence (unions), no vote buying (Nebraska, Louisiana).

    If only George Bush wasn’t still in charge, we’d have real change by now.

    All the broken promises, all the failed legislation and delay (health care reform, immigration reform) is not President Obama’s fault or the fault of the Democrat-controlled Congress. It’s all George Bush’s fault.

    Take for example the decision of Eric Holder, the president’s attorney general, to hold terrorists’ trials in New York City . Or his decision to try the Christmas Day underpants bomber as a civilian.

    Two disastrous decisions.

    Certainly those were bad judgments based on poor advice from George Bush.

    Need more proof?

    You might recall that when Scott Brown won the election to the U.S. Senate from Massachusetts , capturing “the Ted Kennedy seat”, President Obama said that Brown’s victory was the result of the same voter anger that propelled Obama into office in 2008. People were still angry about George Bush and the policies of the past 10 years. And they wanted change.

    Yes, according to the president, the voter rebellion in Massachusetts was George Bush’s fault.

    Therefore, in retaliation, they elected a Republican to the Ted Kennedy seat, ending a half-century of domination by Democrats. It is all George Bush’s fault.

    Will the failed administration of George Bush ever end, and the time for hope and change ever arrive?

    Will President Obama ever accept responsibility for something… – anything?

      THIS is the real Chuck Green article….I don’t understand why Elizabeth would choose to cherry-pick it the way she did.

      Green: Obama’s policies erode his popularity
      By CHUCK GREEN
      Columnist
      Published: Thursday, May 27, 2010 9:03 AM MDT
      **
      “Most Americans have come to believe that the political system is broken, that most politicians are corrupt, and that neither major political party has the answers.”
      **
      That is the declaration by Scott Rasmussen, one of the most credible pollsters in the country.
      **
      His conclusion came with the latest daily tracking poll of President Barack Obama’s approval rating, which hit an all-time low this week.
      **
      It was no coincidence that confidence in the political system and the president’s disapproval rating were in sync. Obama campaigned in 2008 on a platform of political reform — to clean up corruption, to end favoritism in the form of ear-marked legislation, to provide “transparency” in government, to restore the public’s confidence in government.
      **
      He’s done just the opposite, and the American public is getting wise to his deception.
      **
      He’s not the first.
      **
      In the most recent decades, presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush have left the same legacy of promises, deception and broken promises.
      **
      And that has led us to where we are today: “Most Americans have come to believe that the political system is broken, that most politicians are corrupt, and that neither major political party has the answers.”
      **
      For Obama supporters, the most difficult part of that statement is that he was supposed to change things. Remember that word? Change.
      **
      If there has been any change, it’s been for the worse. Transparency has become obliteration. Promises to end earmark legislation have been forgotten. Corruption has become more, not less, apparent. Public confidence in government has corroded, not fortified.
      **
      Clinton lied to us when he said he “did not have sex with that woman,” completely wasting an enormous pile of political capital. He had all the potential of becoming the next John Kennedy, but he squandered the opportunity.
      **
      Bush betrayed his conservative image, setting the country on a course of economic destruction. Starting out with the terrible inheritance of the Sept. 11 attacks, he turned his popular bull-horn talk at Ground Zero into a disastrous presidency, from his spending policies to the mismanagement of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
      **
      Obama is becoming the third member of the trinity. He was elected on the precepts of hope and change. He has dashed hope for anything better, and he has changed things for the worse.
      **
      For the past year, measured by a composite of all pollsters, his policies have been a disaster. From health-care reform to transparency, his administration has been a great disappointment to the American people.
      **
      Yet his personal popularity has been relatively high.
      **
      As promised, change is happening.
      **
      Obama himself is losing his personal magnetism. His policies and his actions finally are eroding his powerful personal image.
      **
      People are starting to connect the man with the priorities, the man with the decisions, the man with the values.
      **
      And there is a serious disconnect that even many of his supporters cannot reconcile.
      **
      It’s been more than a year since the president — under great political pressure — publicly abandoned the preaching of Rev. Jeremiah Wright and pledged to find a new church for his family. He hasn’t.
      **
      It’s been more than a year since the president promised to end all earmark legislation. He hasn’t.
      **
      It’s been more than a year since the president promised to put all legislation on the Internet for at least five days before signing it into law. He hasn’t.
      **
      It’s been more than a year since the president promised to offer comprehensive immigration reform. He hasn’t.
      **
      It’s been nearly a year since the president — the champion of transparency in government — has hosted an open-ended press conference (an event requiring he interrupt his addiction to the Tele-Prompter).
      **
      And now the polls show that his personal popularity is dropping parallel with the disapproval of his administration’s policies.
      **
      He has enjoyed the longest honeymoon in modern American politics, but the public is nearing the point of filing divorce papers. Evidence is mounting that the filing date could occur on Nov. 2, coinciding with the 2010 mid-term election day.

      • Carole Howell

        Thank you Greg, for posting the real Chuck Green’s article. I like the article and I agree with all it says and I voted for Obama, I do not regret my vote, cause I know a vote for McCain would have brought nothing better and maybe worse.

        As for transparency in Government, why he promised such a thing knowing Big Business would not allow the people that much info into their affairs in running this country. They have to keep up this ‘right/left, Dem/Rep picture to be able to pull off their deals. I do not know, maybe he was deluded. Maybe he did not really know the Pres has no real power to change much. Maybe he knew he was misleading and that he could never pull this off.

        And why may I ask would a person try to pass off something else in place of the real article and do they realize that was a lie and that lies are ‘unchristianlike behavior? LOL

        Whatever, what Chuck Green neglected? Or was afraid to print? was, who really has the power, who really pulls the strings in the Government supposed to be by the people, of the people and for the people.

      • Vicki

        I notice you have this thing about big business. Do you truly fail to understand that big business has absolutely no power over you (or the government) that you do not allow? Stop buying their products and big business folds like a house of cards.

        Something else of interest. It is not big business that is coming to my house and pointing a gun to my head and demanding that I buy health insurance.

        Though with the proper twist of logic you could say that big business forced all those nice ballless congresspeople to vote for that law.

        Vicki,
        I think she is bitter about two things. She was laid off and having trouble making ends meet. I don’t blame her for being bitter, but she should be bitter at the one that let her down. Nobama promised her to bring on the jobs and fix the economy. She is bitter about that because she fell for his line hook line and sinker!!
        Two, she is bitter that the courts decided against her hero by saying that big business could donate to politicians!

  • Cape Conservative

    The president thinks he knows when to go into his ‘neighborhood’ manner of speaking…what was it Harry Reid said…he can slip into a negro dialect when necessary. His speech in Milwaukee was so UNpresidential it was disturbing!!!! I truly believe the man is losing his marbles. He canNOT connect two words without a teleprompter!!! And to think that speaking out in public – ‘they treat me like a dog’ – is going to win him respect…what a total jerk!

    The one thing he seems to forget is HE WON! He does NOT have to continue to campaign AGAINST THE REPUBLICANS!!!! After all, he IS the president of the United States…the president of Republicans as well as Democrats. How he ever expects to EARN RESPECT from half the country that didn’t vote for him by pulling these stunts is beyond me! Perhaps the real message we should take from all of his actions and words is that he has never had to EARN a thing in his life…it’s been handed to him at every turn. A college graduate would NOT utter the word CORPSE MAN three times in a public speech. A college graduate would not continually massacre the English language by using an a before a word beginning with a vowel – he does this so often I have stopped cringing when I hear him.

    Mr. President – if you want RESPECT, you have to earn it, sir. And constantly dissing half the population of America is not exactly accomplishing that task for you. RESPECT is a two-way street – you also have to treat with RESPECT those you disagree with.

    • Cribster

      I was trying to think of the way to describe the way the dolt speaks, your quote; “The president thinks he knows when to go into his ‘neighborhood’ manner of speaking” sums it up perfectly Cape.

      He sounds sophomoric, almost juvenile, I haven’t heard that manner of speaking since Junior High School.

      Certain words really set me off, the way he says “folks” and “country.” The usurper is nothing better than a “quick change” con.

        …and he tries to use his idea of jokes to enhance his speeches, but the joke is always at someone elses ( Bush or the Republicans) expense. He doesn’t even realize the joke is HIM.

      Cape Conservative,

      Great message, I don’t agree with Obama and his continual refrence to the Bush administrations woe’s because there were good decisions but on the flip side there were bad decisions, that I do agree upon. We all know Reagan didn’t blame Carter, he lead this country, Bush I didn’t blame Reagan, he lead this country, as far as I know Clinton didn’t blame Bush I, he lead this country. When Bush II was elected he didn’t blame Clinton, he lead this country, now we have Obama, he’s been in control for 22 months and he’s been blaming Bush II at every single major event he’s speaking at. My question is, when is Obama going to step up to the plate and accept what was handed to him and lead this country instead of dividing us and spending us to the poor house?

      Yes, America is pissed and justly so, we have been forced to endure HCR, FRA, real unemployment of 15% plus, staggering budget deficits, a tax system broken and getting worse. Just think about this for a moment, Obama’s first act as president, he signed an executive order sealing ALL presidential records, yes that included his, so my next question is, what is he trying to hide, he was suppose to have the most transparent administration in the history of the US. We all now what happened, politics got in the way and he didn’t need prying eye’s ruining his day.

      • Carole Howell

        Down the memory hole eh, Reagan did blame Carter, you do not remember? And Bush blamed Clinton for 9/11, have you forgotten?

      Voted Obama? Embarased Yet?

      • Carole Howell

        Conservative at Birth,

        I am not embarrassed, what I am is disappointed. But I have had my eyes opened now. The President has very little power.

        I am learning right and left now just who runs this country, our last real president was assassinated and every one we have had since is little more than a figure head or puppet.

        It matters very little which party runs things the people’s business gets pushed aside for big business and special interests (like the Israel lobby and I just found out Saudi Arabia has a lot of power here also, wonder what other foreign nation our congress and president answer to)

        I know all republicans are not as thick headed as the ones here, cause I know many who do not follow like sheep and do think for themselves, they know the GOP has changed, and they know our politicians are bought and paid for and that we are in big trouble because of it.

        But so many people here are just plain brainwashed if not straight up NeoCons.

        So true Carole, OBAMA DOESN’T HAVE MUCH POWER, its your damned Liberal Congress thats been in there, two years BEFORE BUSH LEFT OFFICE, SO QUITE FRANKLY BUSH DIDN’T HAVE THE POWER EITHER, NOW DID HE?_)__THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU JUST SAID!!!!!!!

    • anna

      I believe there are two possible reasons that he is making so many errors.
      1. He is a community organizer and it has always worked for him, he does not know how to communicate other than replaying sound bites that will make the people clap and cheer, he cannot stand to be critized. He also seems to try to be funny,way to often, why would a President of the United States of America want this? Because he has an ego and does not have the experience and intergrity we would hope to have in this office.
      2. He is doing this on purpose to cause a separation among us I am not paranoid, just trying to make sense of his actions.

      • Carole Howell

        Anna,
        Or perhaps he follows orders just as Bush did. eh? These same people who run things here also have threatened and assassinated the leaders of other foreign nations (read Confessions of an Economic Hit Man by John Perkins, an easy enlightening read)How do we know they do not threaten our own Presidents to get their way?

        This could be another reason you could add to your list Anna.

    Obama said the buck stops here! (at Bush’s desk, I bet) Seems Bush is still in charge until something goes right then Obama can take credit. But so far Bush has done everything wrong for the last 20 months. We need to vote Bush out.

    So sad…conservatives can’t stand it that President Obama is the trying to make this country better for the middle class…conservatives vote against themselves just to keep “smaller government”…not better government…just smaller government…sad indeed.

      The only way he wants the middle class is under the govt dependency, not better. Nothing wrong with smaller govt. it wasn’t intended to be so large.
      Face it. the prez doesn’t have a clue what to do but throw out $. He never was a leader, and still isn’t. This president is by title only, and he couldn’t lead a parade.

      If the left wants to help the middle class they better start by leading by example and quit squandering the middle class and everybody else’s money around and they better start teaching their money hungry constituents to work to make a buck and take care of themselves……

      ciniowa you must be very young. There was a time when Americans were responsible for their actions and worked to support their family. They were honest and their word was stronger than signing a document. The fade to gray has made America a land of liars, wanting the government to take care of them and always blame someone else. Yes it is sad to know that even president Obama lies and people think it is normal. Instead of working together to rebuild America, he does the blame game on anyone that oppose his socialist agenda. The poor will always be among us, they have the right in this country to be poor and giving them money will not make them rich, just dependants. The government was to govern and the people should have control over their own money. But many do not see this and want someone else to provide for them. So ends the American way of life, slow fade…

      what smaller government? Bush increased the size of government by over 30% from we’re Clinton left it. ITs called Homeland Security. ITs a knee jerk reaction to allowing 9/11 to happen in the first place. Think what the right what say if 9/11 happen today?? Do you think they would get behind Obama like the Dems did Bush? Doubtful. They get mad when he kills pirates and saves an American captain. The right had there chance to govern and did a very poor job. Now they want another chance. Did they learn anything? They invented the TEA people to get an angle but then they back John McCain to show you there the same old GOP. Its really sad. GOP’ers all over the country telling us to give them another chance. They’ll be different this time. YEA RIGHT.

      I don’t need him, you or anybody else on this planet to take care of me or make my choices in life. I am an AMERICAN, not a socialist panzy who needs someone to manage their affairs in life. You people need to GROW UP and MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!

      Heck, Oblama can’t manage his own affairs much less mine. If you put him in charge of a two-kid kindergarten they would be in a knock down drag out fight in less than a 1/2 hour and then he would blame it own BUSH! PATHETIC!

    • T from Iowa

      it is embarrassing that someone from Iowa would make such a comment. There are books with tons of evidence to support why BO is making a mockery of the country (just try reading the 5000 Year Leap and not have your stomach do flip flops the next time BO addresses the nation).

      There is no evidence that BO is doing anything to improve the economy, create jobs, advance our nation in the eyes of other nations, nor protect the country from those who wish to do us harm. All we ever hear from BO and his swoonin fans is that he is doing good things for all people. Like what? Ruining a world leading health care system so we can be more like countries that currently send their diplomats and rich to the US for treatment?

      Come on people, you have to use the scientific method, which brought us out of the dark ages to do some true thinking and not just believe some drivel about doing good for all…but don’t watch what I do, just listen to what I say. If you don’t know what the scientific method is, do some research and make yourself smarter and better armed to do battle in the world of wits an education.

    The reason Reagan didn’t blame Carter and Obama always blames Bush is because Reagan was the better man.
    Poor pathetic Obama. He is a typical liberal. If he doesn’t have any answers then blame Bush. We see it on this site all of the time. If a liberal doesn’t have anything of substance to say they blame someone else, call names and become garbage mouths.
    Obama campaigned for the job of President and has used this position to play play play and blame blame blame. I don’t think the man knows what the word work means. Unless its to push through his useless Marxist / Socialists agendas.Then he mixes a little work in with his play. He still doesn’t have to work very hard to pass these socialist agendas as he has Pelosi and Reed doing all of the heavy lifting.
    They are fussing that the Republicans are blocking their tax relief bill. Funny, the Republicans haven’t been able to block anything else so I doubt that it is only the Republicans that find this bill suspicious and the Dems are afraid to do anything else stupid right now since the publics voting time is fast approaching.

    • Jana

      Some information I found is very interesting:

      1. President Barack Obama, former editor of the Harvard Law Review, is no longer a “lawyer”. He surrendered his license back in 2008 in order to escape charges he lied on his bar application.

      A “Voluntary Surrender” is not something where you decide “Gee, a license is not really something I need anymore, is it?” and forget to renew your license. No, a “Voluntary Surrender” is something you do when you’ve been accused of something, and you ‘voluntarily surrender” your license five seconds before the state suspends you.

      2. Michelle Obama “voluntarily surrendered” her law license in 1993.

      3. So, we have the first black President and First Lady – who don’t actually have licenses to practice law. Facts.

      Source: http://jdlong.wordpress.com/2009/05/15/pres-barack-obama-editor-of-the-Harvard-law-review-has-no-law-license/

      4. A senior lecturer is one thing. A fully ranked law professor is another. Barack Obama was NOT a Constitutional Law professor at the University of Chicago .

      5. The University of Chicago released a statement in March, 2008 saying Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) “served as a professor” in the law school-but that is a title Obama, who taught courses there part-time, never held, a spokesman for the school confirmed in 2008.

      6. “He did not hold the title of professor of law,” said Marsha Ferziger Nagorsky, an Assistant Dean for Communications and Lecturer in Law at the University of Chicago School of Law.

      Source: http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2008/03/sweet_obama_did_hold_the_title.html ;

      7. The former Constitutional senior lecturer cited the US Constitution the other night during his State of the Union Address. Unfortunately, the quote he cited was from the Declaration of Independence . not the Constitution.

      8. The B-Cast posted the video: http://www.breitbart.tv/did-obama-confuse-the-constitution-with-the-declaration-of-independence/

      9. Free Republic: In the State of the Union Address, President Obama said: “We find unity in our incredible diversity, drawing on the promise enshrined in our Constitution: the notion that we are all created equal..

      10. Um, wrong citing, wrong founding document there Champ, I mean Mr. President. By the way, the promises are not a notion, our founders named them unalienable rights. The document is our Declaration of Independence and it reads:

      We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

      11. And this is the same guy who lectured the Supreme Court moments later in the same speech???

      When you are a phoney it’s hard to keep facts straight. The only ones that haven’t seen through this clown and the band of idiots that surrounds him are those that are fleecing this Country for all it’s worth. I hope and pray that common sense will prevail in the next election or this great Nation is finished!

      Now, these are the credentials of who wrote this:

      [Ed. note on the Ed. note: this is from a former Chicago lawyer now practicing law in Tyler , TX ]

      [Ed. note: This is legit. I checked it out myself at https://www.iardc.org Stands for Illinois Attorney Registration And Disciplinary Committee. It's the official arm of lawyer discipline in Illinois ; and they are very strict and mean as hell. (Talk about irony!) Even I, at the advanced age of almost 65, maintain (at the cost of approximately $600/year) my law license that I worked so hard and long to earn.]

      Reagan did blame Carter. Then he blamed the Dems for the budget being 1 trillion dollars when he took office. Then he quickly doubled it. Then before he left office in 88 he had tripled it. I’ve been listening to the GOP blame Carter for 30 years now but Obama can’t point out the facts of what he inherited from Bush. So basically your saying only the GOP can complain about there predecessor? Seems like you want special rules just for your side. You know like the special rules the rich get now from Bush. What did his tax cuts do to help? Where or what group of people benefited? The top 1% is the only group of people who where better off when Bush left office than when he took it over.

      • CONSERVATIVE AT BIRTH

        Sorry to inform you of your error. The top tax rate was lowered from 39.6% to 35%. The lowest tax rate was lowered from 15% to 10%. the middle tax rate was lowered from 28% to 25%. It seems to me, that in terms of percentage decrease that the lower tax rates fared the best. What say you now?

      • ValDM

        I’ll tell you who has benefitted from the Bush tax breaks. Everyone of us has. I may mean that the top earners got more, but I still got my exemption for my mortgage (bet you did too). I didn’t pay taxes on my health insurance and other health costs (but we will). When these tax breaks of Bush’s expire, you’ll get a real nasty taste of what Odumbo has in store for all of us. Until you actually think about what Odumbo has as his next card trick, you need to sit down and shut up.

        I am so sick and tired of people like you saying that if you have a large sum of money you are trash! I don’t know how you were raised but me and many others have been told and tought as kids that if we WORK hard,as your reward for doing so,you will make alot of money! But now the rule is if you don’t work hard then those that do should give it to those that don’t and you should be ashamed of all your hard work! There is another saying that says it takes money to make money! WE all know that those with money are the ones who runs businesses that hire people! SO if you take more of the richest peoples money is there any dought that they WON”T have that money to make more money by hireing more people? ALSO these trashy rich people GIVES MILLIONS of dollars a year to charitys! So by paying more than whats fair will mean that they will not only HIRE LESS people but will also GIVE less to charitys! What gives the right for the government to take MORE of those peoples money that they from anybody elses? Bet you can’t name me one single government controled progarm that is makeing a PROFIT! I’m not by any way wealthy even though I have been working hard sence I was 13. I’m not wealthy because of bad money makeing ideas. And no I am not saying that wealthy people shouldn’t pay taxes. What I AM saying is that they should only pay there fare share and for people to quit acting like there is something wrong with haveing money. The ones that seems to have a problem with it are those who don’t know how to make money and those that are just too darn lazy to get off there butts and earn it! But lets go ahead andtax them unfarely and they WILL take there money and jobs with them when they leave our great nation and then we will see how good we have it without those trashy wealthy people!!!!!

      • Wlmitch1

        Karl Marx wrote in his Communist Manifesto that a progressive income tax and a complete Government takeover of a nation’s health care system are necessary to implement his Socialist “utopia.” The rich are “trash” because they are an obstacle to the Marxists’ insatiable lust for power. The rich do NOT pay their fair share – they pay more than DOUBLE their fair share. If ALL taxpayers paid 15%, of their income in Fedral income taxes, after standard deductions, the rich would be paying their fair share. Currently, 15% is the lowest tax bracket. If you do the math, a taxpayer whose taxable income is $10,000 would have a tax bill of $1,500, while a taxpayer whose taxable income is $10,000,000 would have a tax bill of $1,500,000, 1,000 times more than that of the taxpayer whose taxable income is $10,000. That is a MUCH better argument for a flat tax of 15% than, “the top 5% of income earners pay 95% of the Federal taxes,” which is merely a talking point based on a statistic. With some spending cuts, a flat 15% Federal Income tax, and the return of gold and silver coinage, just think of how THAT would stimulate the economy.

        I have heard that from the left many times. Reagan did end up with a deficit but it was in the billions after eight years even after cutting taxes.

      Very well put, Angel. I just wish every American would read Personal Liberties, then People would see what this idiot and his cronies are really doing. One thing I can’t honestly believe is how BO thinks by blaming Bush he can justify his total failure as a President. He must think Americans are gullible and that we will believe anything he says, right or wrong, and that Bush and the Republicans are an example of why this country failed. Erogance, stupidity, defiance against Americans, and just plain hate for what America stands for, is this guy and his followers intentions. Obama may be protected by a few small circles at this point and the main stream media overemphasises how many people really support him, but now most Americans have seen what he stands for and don’t believe anything he says or does. November will be a fight, it will be a fight against the Liberals and BO and the start of many to rid ourselves of this Socialistic dictator and his followers!

      Angle listen to the GOP right now. Thats all there doing is blaming the President. Far be it for the cowards to take responsibility for the mess that caused. So what the GOP is saying is we we’re there for 8 years and didn’t do anything. That does sound like the GOP work ethic.

      • Angel Wannabe

        Jamie, no actually the GOP work ethic is, to let Americans find they’re own way. To STOP being a Daddy to the women, who have four and five kids, and let the Government keep them, instead of the real Fathers Taking responsibility!!__GOP wants to STOP, the Democratic misuse of the poor, for votes and to stop keeping them stupid enough, so they won’t rise up above, and get off of their entitlement programs!__They want people need them!___The GOP realizes, as I do, that none of us EVER worked for poor men or women!___That there is the working class and the elite. If your tired of being labeled as the working class, then get off your azz, do the work, get the knowledge and then you can be an elite too! GET OVER THE CLASS ENVY!__The Majority of the GOP also believes in fighting for the right to life, they want to STOP the sensless murdering of innocent babies,using abortions as birth control. Why, because our so called intelligent women today, are too lazy to protect themselves during sex!!!__I can say that I’M A WOMAN!__-THATS WHAT THE GOP IS ABOUT!
        IT’S ABOUT AMERICA, THE FOUNDING AND RIGHT TO LIVE FREE WITH OUT OPPRESSION, WHICH YOUR SAVIOR IS NOT PROVIDING, WHEN THE HELL ARE YOU GONNA WAKE THE HELL UP!

        Robert, All those statements sounds like Bush just wanted to veto everything and the way you stated them there would be no way to see it any other way.. BUT why didn’t you list ANY reason why he vetoed them? Could some of it been because of the cost? Could some of them been because of the riders that would have psssed into law too that were attached to them? Lets just say there would have been a bill that stated that EVERYONE would get a check for $5000 a month for the rest of there lives from the government but attached to that same bill was a rider that, if passed, would make it illegal for ANYONE to marry and would be put to death if you vilated it! First is how would it be paid for and second is NO married people or those wanting to get married would like it! So what would you do? Pass abill that everyone would have pleanty of money to live on? Or veto it to save millions of lives? Thats silly I know but so is your staements on all those bills Bush vetoed without saying why he did! And by the way, I’m writeing Bush today because it is raining and I had plans! How dare him to ruin my day!!!!!!

      • Carole Howell

        James G, show cause for the veto, the true causes or shut the hell up.

        worthless LIBERAL AGENDA crap that Obama wanted to PUSH THROUGH,
        WHILE they have control of Congress.

        After the Republicans get BACK control of the House and the Senate (and Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are both GONE!!) … THEN we can get on with FIXING the ECONOMY and creating REAL CHANGE that will get this country back on track!!!

        Have you also forgotten that Obama has GROWN our National Debt by 300%, while he has been in office only 19 months!! ARE YOU LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS … and not just listening to Obama BLAMING BUSH!!?
        Do you not REALIZE that Obama has pushed UNEMPLOYMENT to DOUBLE what it was before he took office? Are you LOOKING? CAN YOU SEE!!??

      • http://?? Joe H.

        robert,
        I’m not sure about ALL of those vetoes, but three stand out real well in my mind and there were good reasons for the veto. The troop funding bill? The dems had put in so much pork that they KNEW he would have to veto it! If he didn’t they would accuse him of over spending, and if he did they would say he had no concern for the troops. that is why the latter one passed, they had trimmed most of the pork off of it! The childrens health care bill? The progressive libbies wanted to include “children” up to the age of 26! I wasn’t a child at 18! Actually 17 as I was in the Army! By 24 I was just out of the service and had my own insurance! the stem cell research? He knew that 80% of the people were against it as being immoral. He actually acted in the will of the people that put him there in that case!! Actually, I guess that takes care of 5 of your list!!

    Everything from the dawn of civilization to yesterday’s supper can be blamed on GB. It’s one hell of a long list, and it includes volcanoes, tsunamis, plagues, wars, rumors of wars, fallen economies, athlete’s foot, bad breath, prickly heat and diaper rash.
    I don’t know how he does it, but that George Bush has his hand in everything. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s the one who’s responsible for the mediocre sunset tonight.
    Drat that darned GB. I’ll bet he’s responsible for the battle between good and evil, too. You name it, and he’s responsible for it. I wouldn’t be surprised if GB was responsible for Al Gore’s marital woes, Bernie Madoff’s getting caught, the constant ups and downs of the stock market, the rise and fall of the Roman Empire and my inability to win the lottery.

        To them the GOP is like God and can do no wrong, they follow blindly like robots, like a sickness.

        There are some democrats like that, so loyal to their party they follow blindly. I have lost a few friends by pointing out Obama’s rubbery spine.

        Robert , you need to ask the question “where was the Governor of Louisiana” when the people of Nawlins needed help ?
        It was the governor who STOPPED ALL entry into New Orleans ,not Bush .
        Also the economy started to tack in the Clinton years ,remember Fannie and Freddie ? Obviously NOT .
        I’m so sick and tired of people talking about “POOR PEOPLE” in New Orleans .Actually they are to blame for their own problems ,they had the money to shore up the leevies but you obviously know little about the New Orleans government ,that city is full of CROOKS ! They spent the money else where ! The governor hit the rode ,along with the police force and major Nagin.
        They actually cared little to nothing about this city ! AND when the south turned out to help N.O. they spit on us and cused those who tried to help . Ungrateful to the end , still are .
        If Obama didn’t wont the job he should have gone back to where he comes from ,which if you look at the way he left Chicago ,you’d be silent and learn a few things on YOUR OWN !

        Blame it on the Governor, is that what you would not as President (that is what Bush did) They were American people, the president should not have waited it was an emergency, those people deserved quick action and rescue from their government. For some the first rescuers were the Canadian Mounties, and that is the truth. Sweden, Germany, Mexico, France and many other countries responded faster to Katrina that our own USA and those are the facts.

      • Vicki

        You are obviously one of those people who believes that no law should get in the way of your good intentions.

        Besides the whole katrina incident is an example of how much better Bush was at handling a crisis than Obama and the BP oil spill.

        —————————————–
        Thursday, President Bush asked Governor Blanco for the legal authority to have federal authorities take over the evacuation of the city. The request was rejected out of fear of “martial law.”

        That evening, rapper Kanye West told America that “George Bush doesn’t care about black people”
        ——-

        “From the week prior to landfall to the days, weeks and months after, President Bush was engaged. Bush wasn’t building commissions to study future hurricane effects, but was establishing working task forces for the current crisis.

        So people should be able to build their homes below sea level near the sea in hurricane country, or in flood plains, or on unstable hillsides, or in fire-prone forests, and when disaster strikes, the Federal Government should rescue the ignoramuses with money from the people who did the right things? It isn’t the Federal Government’s money to give. It’s our money.
        Do you think people are going to make the effort required to do the right things if the Federal Government bails them out everytime they do something stupid?
        If you want to follow in the footsteps of Cuba, then just keep advocating Socialism.

        you say you are from LA near NO? Did you know that there was a small toxic waste dump site in NO? That was where a lot of the crap in the flood waters came from. Shows how STUPID the leadership of NO has been over the years!!!
        you want to talk about a law getting in the way? What about your hero Nobama not letting skimmers come into the gulf to skim up the oil because they had foriegn crews? A law he could have easily over ridden for a few days! Bush could not legally override the constitution!

        Carole, First of all if I were a “Nawlins Native” with any kind of common sense, I’d be asking why in the hell they left thousands of school buses to get swamped under water up to they’re roofs, when they could’ve used them 3 days earlier to bus, those with no transportation, the elderly and the sick the hell outts there??___Most of the chaos was created by, by piss poor flood planning, by NO themselves. Lousy evacuation planning in a city, that’s below sea level!!__To me living there, makes about as much sense as telling someone to go to hell, and then help them pack!

        The left has made their voters so dependent on government in that area they can no longer function without government assistance. Five years after Katrina many still have their hands out. If you cannot survive for three days without government assistance maybe the left should ask themselves if they are really helping people or through dependence on government making them weaker.

        Robert you hear only what you want to hear. “Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see.” Ben Franklin

        FACT.
        The US government cannot intervene in a state, Katrina and please don’t forget RITA, without the Governor of the state asking for help. Governor Blanco refused to ask for help until the next morning after the levees and the canal wall failed. The US military was on site in about 8 hours after the call was received. Can’t blame Bush for that part big boy. The federal Corps of Engineers and the local Levee Districts are a different matter.

        FACT
        I had an employee that was a state national guardman stationed at the Superdome. The state national guard patrolled the NO areas continuously after the storm. Sorry Hiraldo Revera, the truth is the folks at the convention center were at that site less than 8 hours. The walked to it from their homes when the waters started to receed. Remember the mandatory evacuation was ignored. MREs and water were provided in abundance to those folks immediately. If the didn’t have food or water for days, it was because they didn’t have it at their homes. There were large amounts of MREs and water for all the folks in the Superdome. I guess in Louisiana, even the poorest person eats very well and MREs aren’t considered real food.

        By the way, Rita occurred a month later and did extreme damage too. Gov Blanco ignored that part of the state, did they vote for her? I guess the media and Hollywood didn’t feel like it was worthy of them either, so those poor folks were left to rebuild themselves.

        Facts on Katrina:
        Pres Bush showed up within four days. Obama and the Gulf Oil Spill?
        The residents of New Orleans were give at least a WEEK’s notice that a Category FIVE Hurricane was headed their way. Most cities along the gulf evacuated. In New Orleans, THOUSANDS of buses sat full of gas but didn’t move .. because of the local politicians made NO preparations.

        Fact also, eight years prior to Katrina, New Orleans was sent several MILLION $$ to shore up the Levies, to prevent this kind of tradegy. What was it used for? The Mayor of New Orleans USED it to buy himself a private Jet.

        The FIRST responsibility after a major disaster falls on the Local and State governments. What did they do? NOTHING!!!! It took Pres. Bush sending down the National Guard … to rescue the ones hanging onto their roofs. Thousands were allowed to gather in the Super Dome, where they proceeded to DESTROY THE PLACE!!! Firing guns from the upper decks into the crowds .. pooping on the seats!!

        What? You never heard of any of this? There’s nobody BLINDER than a person who refuses to see.

    • Wlmitch1

      Great satire, S C! I was born in 1960 with some health issues. Bush’s fault? No way. He was 14 when I was born. I now have arthritis in my entire spine, hips, shoulders, and knees; PTSD (crime victim at a young age), history of recurrent inguinal hernias which needed surgery, Meniere’s Disease, migraines, chronic sinusitis, and mild tremor. I became disabled in April 2001, but continued to work until I was set up and terminated from my last job in February 2002. Bush’s fault? I DON’T THINK SO!

      It took me nearly four months after that to accept the fact that I HAD to go on Social Security Disability because I could no longer work. The local Democrat Bureaucrats in the SSA kept messing up my medical information and denying me for 5 years and 4 months, I think because they wanted to punish me for NOT quitting my job immediately, and applying for SSDI as soon as I became disabled; and they insinuated that it was all Bush’s fault. NONSENSE!

      Congresswoman Candice Miller, a REPUBLICAN, investigated this fiasco, an SSDI hearing was held 3 weeks later in September 2007, and I was finally approved. I received my first check in December 2007. During 2008, I received retro-pay dating back to March 2003 as ordered by the judge. I have been eligible to have my student loan discharged for 3 years now, but will continue to pay on it (MY choice) for as long as possible. Is all of this Bush’s fault? The radical Left would say yes, as if he waved some imaginary magic wand to make all of this happen to me! I say, RIDICULOUS! Stuff happens.

      I have little doubt that 50 years from now, the radical Left will still be blaming Bush, and possibly even Reagan, for whatever bad things happen then.

      • eddie47d

        Some Republicans and conservatives go back and blame Preident Johnson and that was 50 years ago. (some things were are are warranted).The same can be said about Bush-that’s history!

      • Wlmitch1

        In my last paragraph, I probably should have stated that the Left will blame Bush for any NEW bad things that happen then. The Republicans you are writing about are not blaming Johnson for what is happening now, they were merely stating that Congress began raiding the Social Security fund during the Johnson years, thus the raiding of the Social Security fund is nothing new. It is true that Bush bears some of the blame for the mess we are in today, because he kept caving in to many of the Left’s demands during his second term. From January 2007 on, BOTH Houses of Congress have been controlled by the Democrats. The point is that the Left blames Bush for EVERYTHING, and will continue to do so for a very long time.

      • Carole Howell

        Wlmitch,
        Be thankful for Social Security, brought to you by a Democrat, the Republicans were completely against it. Know your history, read your history.

        Social Security is by-the-way a socialist program. As this country embraces both Socialist and Capitalist systems at the same time.

        Now if we had socialized Health care programs none of us would have to worry about pre-existing conditions, or going bankrupt over health care bills.

        Right now I know of a 14 year old boy with metal rods in his back because of a spinal deformity and has out grown them and needs surgery to correct it again, he has no health care coverage, his father has disappeared and his mother has only just gotten back to work, lets hope it will not be considered a pre-existing condition when her health care goes into effect.

        We should not have to worry about such things.

        BTW, Social Security, medicaid and medicare, and the Veteran Administrations are very efficient programs, and even though there maybe faults and snags, what would people do without them.

But as an after thought, The Good Lord may have done me a favor, when Dad died, before he got in the VA. __When I went for the interview, I found out, I would have had to turn my Fathers ENTIRE estate, over to the VA, they would’ve sold his assets to pay off, his bills. It was a messy situation back then, at the time, our daughter got mixed up into drugs( she’s clean now 6 years later and happily married) and I couldn’t bring my Father here to live with me, like I wanted,after they told me he wouldn;t be with us long. I didn’t want him involved in my problems. If ANYONE reading this, is contemplating the use of the VA, for Family, please make sure you get ALL the answers to your questions. And Do like I did, and take a hand held recorder and record your conversations. I do it on all important conversations!___Trust, but verify!!__Thanks Joe!

        I wonder if Bush has caused Obama and his wife to take so many expensive vacations. How about a date to New York to see a play for $400,000. Many hard working men and their families have to go without so this man can live like a king. How many people does it take to pay their taxes so this man can take just one of his vacations. When he is not on vaction he is playing golf and basketball. I wonder where he finds the time to bash Bush. Certainly someone else is running the country. Anyone knows you can’t take that many vacations with a failing business and expect to turns things around. Obama thinks Americans are stupid. Many are but I hope not enough to get him reelected.

You’re in de froc’t position if AG Cucinelli of Virginia wins his case against O’BOMB’R'CARE’s unconstitutional provision that every citizen must have or buy Health Insurance or pay fines.
        See, Constitutionally (“Law-of-the-land”, stuff you libs despise) the government can’t demand citizens to buy anything. Chances for tyrrany were determined by The Founder’s Wisdom to be too great. Wisdom is good,…good. Constant, unchanging, “un-LIBERAL”. NOT FASCINATINGLY STUPID!!!

        If Cucinelli, AG of Virginia, wins the whole O’BOMB’R'CARE dumbass act disappears. If Cucinelli loses, we are assured we under the domination of tyrrants – not any sort of republican or democratic government wherein the people have a say in their form of government.

        It will be decided in the U.S. Courts System. Each of us then must decide: “How much is it worth it to me to live in LIBERTY?”, or, “Do I die fighting for IT?” This case will take Obama’s mask off.

      • Denniso

        Paid plant? Lib Plant? You’ll never know, will you…And, yes, the Dems held the majority in 6/08, so what? The bubble had been building for yrs and the collapse was set in motion by Greenspan the libertarian and Bush’s lax regulation for his whole term.

        I’m am adamently against insurance mandates..the insurance co’s are the major part of the problem w/ our healthcare system and to force purchase of policies from those fat cats is nothing short of disgusting. Obama caved in to the ins lobby hoping to have their cooperation,which didn’t last anyway. At the least there should have been a public option as a choice for us not to have to buy from a private corp w/ million $$ ceo’s.

        You people forget that the Repubs actually suggested insurance mandates for all back when Clinton tried to reform healthcare. It was a stupid idea then by the Repubs and it’s as stupid now coming from the Dems.

        Note to denniso – Respect. It is earned, not given. The man has done NOTHING to earn the respect of the American people. In fact, quite the opposite. He has shamed us, and taken away from us. He has emboldened our enemies. He has given terrorist’s lawyers, while imprisoning our own soldiers for fighting them. He has apologized to the world for us being successful, and slapped us all in the face doing so. He has forced a health care bill down the throat of 68 percent of the people that didnt want it. And he did it in a backroom behind closed doors. Him and his wife have plundered our government on a scale only matched by the Marcos’s of the Phillipines. They continue to plunder and spend in astronomical ways on their own self pleasure and vacation after vacation. And you really expect us all to RESPECT this behavior? Are you frigging nuts? It is truly scary that there are free people walking around that think like you do. Truly scary.

      • Denniso

        I note that you seem to have no memory. Obama didn’t plunder the American people, the financial whiz’s did. They fueled the bubble,w/ the help of the libertarian Greenspan and Bush’s lax regulation. They made millions as the bubble grew,as did some in the upper middle class and the wealthy. Obama listened to economists who know a little more about the system than you and your buddies do,and knew that to stop the freefall the banks and auto sectors had to be rescued. It’s worked, as we are not in a panic or freefall anymore and the market has recovered 65% of the losses in ’08. You also don’t remember that Bush followed the same advice of emminent economists.

        It’s a bit funny and ludicrous that lay people like you,who know next to nothing about economics,actually think you know better than the top economists from around the world.

        Cheny/Shrub doubled the national debt in 8yrs from about 51/2 trillion to about 10 trillion dollars. They started 2 wars that they didn’t finish, one w/ the promise that we would be greeted as liberators…remember? Both unfinished wars have added something like a trillion dollars to the debt w/ another trillion coming down the line. The economic collapse came after 8 yrs of lax regulation on the financial industry, and the panic and freefall began during Shrub’s term. Shrub also forced through the trillion dollar,unfunded prescription drug plan for seniors.
        If anyone is to blame,how could it be anyone other than Shrub/Cheny? If the Repubs had been willing to help Obama w/ the rescue of the economy and not start laying blame on Obama as soon as he was elected,
        we could have avoided the ‘blame game’. Instead, they played politics w/ the well being of the entire country at stake,all w/ their greedy little eyes on the Nov elections.

      • Bruce D.

        The truth is both you and Obama have no clue. DaveH is right. Obama new what the problems were long before Bush left office. If he could not do the job he should not have ran for the office. Obama lied about his qualifications and he is trying to cover it up with blame. The truth is he has deserted the private sector in favor of the public sector. He has delivered pork to government and political allies but has done nothing to fix anything. He haasn’t even tried. After almost twop years he is just now talking about giving incentives to business to hire people. Then at the same time promotes job killing regulations.

      • Wayne

        I just finished making another post, Denniso, and said that the fools will forget that the Democrats have been in Control of Congress since 2006. Let’s not put all the blame on Bush because he cannot spend a dime unless Congress approves it. Let’s put he blame on your some of the Democrats favorite Congressmen, Barney Frank and Chris Dodd who refused to change the way Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac was doing business. The Republican tried to get the two organizations reigned in back in early 2000, but these two Democrats blocked it as they were in that committe. I wonder how much they got paid to do that?

        Denisso,,,,,, The blame game starts or stops at the TOP. It’s called leadership, or in this case, the lack of, which is what this conversation is about.

        I see very few people on this blog or others that are defending Bush’s last decisions in the White House. In fact, I have stated that I hold Bush directly accountable for starting this FOOLISH spending spree in Washington. Foolish being an understatement! IT would be the equilvalence of me or you having a $50,000 credit card debt and then decide to go our and charge $500,000 more to fix the proplem. Or, a better example would be, you have two children, one has studied and worked hard and the other has smoked dope and done nothing. So, as parents, you punish the hard worker and reward the lazy doper and you add that to your $550,000 credit card debt. Ofcourse, with the socialist mentality, the dope smokers problems becomes a “Collective” problem for ALL OF US TO PAY….correct????

        Regardless of who is the blame here, we need leadership, not a whinning little bush blaming boy that is incapable of managing his own affairs much less yours, mine or our GREAT NATION’S.

      • Wayne

        Blame it on Bush, Blame it on Bush, blame it on Bush, blame it on Bush. When in the hell is Obama going to quit blaming Bush and take the responsibility for himself. Maybe he thinks if he keeps blaming Bush it will resinate through the people minds, like subliminal messages. I think Obama is a dud who is willing to accept responsibility for his own short comings. We need a president that will step up to the plate and let us know that we should all should be looking forward, not backwards. Come on Denniso, get in touch with reality. You are completely out numbered here. The majority sees what is happening to this country and they don’t like it. Blaming some one else will never solve our problems.

      • Denniso

        I don’t care in the least that the majority here disagree w/ me,this site is full of partisan rightwing hacks and they are the majority.
        You miss the point…no matter who may be to blame for the mess we’re in, the Repubs following Limbaugh’s lead, started blaming Obama even before he took the oath and continued non stop. He’s not been in charge for even 2 yrs and the rightwing blames him for anything and everything going wrong. If they weren’t blindly partisan and would help instead of hinder, Obama wouldn’t have to lay blame on bush. The
        Repubs took the political route for pure political gain and now you people don’t think Obama should fight back politically?

        ONLY CONGRESS has the authority to spend money. Yes, Bush asked for the money but Congress could have said no. So, they are as much to blame as Bush. But, they wanted to have someone other than themselves to blame for the economy. Bush WAS NOT a conservative. As Charles Krauthammer said in November 2008 he was the most socialist president in the history of this country. However, Obama is going out of his way to break that reacord and to deliberately destroy our country with his Nazi agenda. Congress is willingly going along with him to help him do it–both Democrats and Republicans.

      • Denniso

        If you know anything at all about economics or history,then you would know that we were facing a collapse the size of which we haven’t seen since ’29, and that the economy doesn’t just turn around overnight from what was a global panic that began under Bush, not Obama. We had a bubble market in housing which is one of the major aspects of the economy…the bubble burst and the market shrinks by maybe 30%. The resale market and the construction market are both affected adversely and can’t rebound overnight to the bubble levels.

        Bush began the bailouts and tried to bail the auto companies out but the Repubs wouldn’t go along. Obama continued what Bush started because virtually every economist in the world said that it was necessary to avoid another great depression. Obama didn’t bailout and
        stimulate the economy to try to ruin the country or for personal gain.
        He did it because there appeared to be no choice. If you have an ounce of objectivity you know that had Obama done nothing and let the economy crater even more, the Repubs would be calling for his hide for
        doing nothing and letting the market correct itself.

BHO is a LIB DEMOCRAT. Congress is DEMOCRAT controlled and won’t give the Republicans the time of day. So why can’t these crybabies get something done? Nobody is standing in their way! Only thing they know how to do is spend, spend, spend, and blame Bush. And what have they accomplished? More debt in 18 months than GWB’s administration in 8 years. Increased unemployment, destruction of our health care system. Demoralizing our military, bowing to Muslims, blocking National Prayer Day, Blocking states from protecting our borders while refusing to do it themselves. Sure sounds like a wonderful job to me!

        It’s just that the RePublicans seem to need reminding who got us to this point —their golden boy –Shrub! If they are still SO proud of him why don’t we hear them crowing about everything he accomplished while serving his 8 years in office. If it wasn’t for the 9/11–WMD hunt–Saddam capture–nation building chapter, he would have had nothing to talk about and probably been a one term failure instead of a 2 term failure leaving office in shame. Do we miss him yet? HELL NO!
        P.S. If the RePublicans want to keep Obama in the White House, here’s a tip….nominate Palin. YOU Betcha!

      • Denniso

        I agree totally, the Repubs think we fear Palin as a candidate…they can’t imagine we see her as a joke and would love to see her run again. She already helped cost McCain the election and will do so again whether she is on top or not.

      • Lubo

        Denniso…How VERY little you understand about economics and FREE MARKET systems. Typical Liberal mind crazing MUSH! OBLAMA is doing the same thing FDR did and the only difference is this is the NEW NEW DEAL!…OR RAW DEAL!!!! FDR’s progressive crap prolonged the depression by ten years then and OBLAMA’s new deal will do the same this go around, if not more. It could take two decades to recover from this FOOLISH spending. Basic common sense or honest adult thinking, seems to elude you.

      • Denniso

        OK, history/math whiz…FDR took office in ’33. The war effectively ended the worst of the depression w/ war production and full employment. And, when did the war start? Was that ’41 and into ’42?

        Can you do the math? Is it maybe a total of 8 yrs and 9 at the most that the depression existed under FDR? I wonder then, how FDR ‘prolonged the depression by 10 yrs’?

        Do some studying.

      • Lubo

        Denisso…We do study and that is the reason that your liberal revisionist history don’t fly anymore. Fact is, progressive idiots like FDR, WW, Carter and Oblama have done more damage to this country than our enemies have. FDR’s entitlement crap was the prelude of things to come, was unconstitutional then and still is today, and is the DIRECT RESULT of our TRILLIONS in DEBT. Maybe one day you pathethic socialists may figure out that an honest days WORK and minding your own business is the answer?

        Maybe OBLAMA should have picked another progressive hero to parrot, you think? Lastly, at least I am an independent AMERICAN, free thinking self-reliant individual who can stand on his own two feet without bitching and complaining about the “Rich” or my neighbor’s house, wife, car, etc. You people are pathetic!

      • spike

        Hey, Denniso,
        I’m not really sure what country you hail from, but I can tell by your language you aren’t native to America? Anyway, Obama had,has, and has had a choice. If you recall, he and McCain were called to the White House by Bush, and told what the Tarp was, and given input about it. Then the collossal LIAR on March l3, 2009 as he pumped Trillions of dollars into the monetary system, had the balls to have a smoke and mirrors show about the Bonuses for AIG. Now, sir, the bonus agreement was agreed to when the TARP money was given. How do I know that? I know it for a fact FACT, SIR. I have a relative who is testifying before Congress about that money on a regular basis. I cannot say who he is, but trust me, either the Pres is illiterate, or a LIAR or both, because he should have, and had every opportunity to READ the bill. So guess what? If you want to play the blame game, LET’S go back to the CLINTON ADMINISTRATION when the whole housing bubble started. It was a great way to grow an economy. Yeah, keep building until every square inch of land is gone, all the trees are gone, and keep selling houses to immigrants, and illegals who can’t afford them. How do I know this? I was selling my house in 06, and every one who came through it was Spanish EVERY ONE!!! When I inquired about more that half of these people to my realtor, he told me time after time, these were sub prime borrowers who couldn’t really afford this…Then let’s talk about Bank of America giving credit/CREDIT FREAKIN CARDS to people who have no social security number, shall we? THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN LET TO FALL ON THEIR ASS. Instead, look what the CEO did on new year’s eve? Right before he left? Yeah, Denniso, It’s all BUSH’s fault. Maybe you are a plant, or maybe you just suck off our government so you can send it all “home”…I don’t know, but don’t use big words you don’t understand, like CONSTITUTION, DECLARATION, LIBERTY, OR ELECTED GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS. You are probably recieving some form of government aid, I would bet on it.

      • Ed Lester

        Dan, you have hit the nail on the head, perhaps, inadvertently. Obama is under “control” but not his own. His leadership on all the substantial issues that, unfortunately, come under his purview is delayed and, often, truncated because he awaits aproval from his Saudi masters (remember al Mansour paid his Harvard tuition). Even his halting, staccato, affected speech patterns, emanates from a practice of speaking to conceal rather than to communicate. When plausible deniability and pleasing your Saudi masters are your overriding purposes, you speak mostly from scripted materials prepared and approved, in advance, and scrolled on tele prompters. Mr. Obama can be summed up in one word “oily”.

      • Robert Smith

        Ed thinks it’s Obama who is under control of Islam.

        What about Bush? He’s the one who let the Bin Laden family leave America even though most other airplanes were stuck on the ground.

        Among them was Osama’s brother-in-law Mohammed Jamal Khalifa. He is thought to be an important figure in al Qaeda, but apparently the Bush administration didn’t do enough of an investigation. He was among those who flew out immediately afrter 911 while they were arresting innoscent college professors.

        Khalifa has been linked to Ramzi Yousef, the mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, as well as to the October 2000 bombing of the USS Cole. Khalifa is also thought to have provided crucial start-up money to Abu Sayyaf, the Philippine terrorist group.

        But Bush and company let him go. He is only one of several other sterling examples of Bush administration incompitance.

      • http://?? Joe H.

        Robert,
        First show me proof that he was among the ones flown out. Two, One of your heroes let OBL go when he was handed to him on a platter, KLINTOON sound familiar? Three at the time he released them there were no warrents out on any of them. If you commit a crime of ANY type, do we hold your wife and daughter to bait you in?? You libbies want it both ways. All it boils down to is you want to rid your heroes of blame and work your azzes off to make Bush into a scape goat. He was guilty of a lot of things but not everything you try to hang on him!! Well your arrogant, two faced, backstabbing, America destroying leader is guilty as well!!

      • http://naver samurai

        Yea, right! In 1993 and 2000 Bush wasn’t even in office, so Clinton takes the blame, moron! Cite your sources! Cite your sources! Just another marxist, gay loving, baby killing, lib who like to hear himself talk. Can we stop drinking kool aid? FOR GOD AND COUNTRY!

        ROBERT SMITH,get your facts straight! bush had only been in office 7 months before the 9/11 attack,what about the 2 yrs the terrorist trained here in the US under clinton.in fact ,during an interview with CNN,bin laden said the reason they attacked the trade center a 2nd time was because of the lack of response after the 1st attack lead them to believe the US was weak.if you remember,clinton bombed a former training camp that was no longer being used.twice clinton had the chance to get bin laden,first time an ally had bin laden jailed but clinton said we didn’t want him,second time one of our snipers had him in their sights waiting for an okay but was nixed by the clinton administration!

        I DO believe that there are NO “innocent” college professors for the most part. I believe that instead of filling the heads of the students that they have control over with theories of what could have been if the Soviet Union would still be in existance, and their fauning over the type of government, “each according to his own”, those professors should be tried for treason along with their willing accomplices.
        Professors need to teach history and economics instead of rewriting history and allowing the inept congress to just spend their way into oblivion without muttering one single word in opposition.

      • http://donthaveone Beberoni

        This is a lie, an out and out lie, and you cannot prove what you say. However, if you want to place blame for letting Bin Laden go free, check the Clinton admin. 3 times they were offered him without having to spend a dime to hunt him, and Billy boy said no, and turned and grabbed another cigar to play with. This can be factually backed up by history, as it happened. What you say, cannot. That is the difference.

      • spike

        Dude, wake up!! Al Gore knew who Osama bin Laden was when he interrogated Ollie North–know how long ago that was? And through HOW MANY administrations was he allowed to run free and build up guns, ammo, money and Jihad men. Clinton turned a blind eye, and played the Oh, let’s send inspectors into Iraq to see if the baby formula has wmd’s in it…and gave them plenty of time to hide em or ditch em and let somebody else’s administration worry about it. Bush did plenty wrong by allowing the sub prime garbage to go on, and riding the housing bubble the Clinton’s created when they decided homeownership was a right, not a priviledge. Well, They and Bank of america, decided that credit was a right, not a priviledge when they issued credit to HOW MANY THOUSANDS who did not/do not have social security numbers, and what did that amount to, WELFARE. They got Tarp money to cover their ass, and what they did? I hear no one complaining. So, yeah, Bush spent money like a drunken sailor. However, part of his spending was on 2 wars, and I don’t think the day after 9/ll you all wanted him just to forgive and forget and be Osama’s bff.

        Ed Lester,

        Thank you and A Men. The rest of these guys need to move on and quit blaming Bush for everything. If they want to keep living in the past then we need to go back in the past to Oh I don’t know, maybe Clinton !!! Yah! That’s a good one ! Talk about the economy tanking, Let go back to the take over of our country’s economy by the privledge staus of Chinese imports with everything from tooth paste to clothing to furniture and on and on. Lets go back to NAFTA ! And how about the cutting way back on our military! How about we give a thought or two about Black Hawk down ! And I could go on ! Give it up ! Bush is out and Obama is in and he owns everything that is happening since he got here! The man has an all democratic controled congress and gets everything he wants even to the tune of ramming health care and every stupid bill under the sun down our throat and you people still keep crying Bush !

      Obama is using the communist political playbook. Blame it on Bush and keep telling the lie, suppress the truth and maybe just enough busy Americans that only see a sound bite or 5 second clip on TV will believe the lie.

      Progressive Liberal/Communist/Socialists have no honor or morals or god, they will say anything, do anything to achieve the agenda, because “the ends justify the means” for them. Lies, deceit, and confusion are the ways to achieve power and money for these corrupt and evil people.

      I don’t believe the Progressive Liberal/Communists will give up power in November when voted out. Czars are in place, the economy is a wreck, now is the time for some type of dramatic action to consolidate said power at the expense of American’s liberty and freedom. The corrupt liars will not go without one last ditch attempt at complete control of America- be ready.

        Hi Dawn,

        You suggest: ;Look at history!

        I have. During the eight years Bush was president he took the budget surplus Clinton left, squandered it, and took America into the biggest debt ever.

        We have lost the respect of the world and gotten into two wars, one because of a boatload of lies.

        Afganastan is now a quagmyre that should have been given aid for schools after the Russans left. Remember Charlie Wilson's War? It was in Afganastan where U.S. Congressman Charlie Wilson (D-TX) helped the Afgans kick Russian butt. The thing he advocated was EDUCATION after the Russians left but he was ignored by the Reagan administration who were just interested in war, not in making friends during the peace. The complications after that left the door open for the nasties who hijacked the country.

        Rob

      • DaveH

        First of all, Robert, the budget was balanced in spite of Clinton, not as a result of Clinton:
        http://www.cato.org/pub_display.php?pub_id=5656

        And Bush (although he and Congress did spend like drunken sailors) is paling in comparison to the Obama spending. Actually that was unfair to drunken sailors because they are spending their own money.

        We never had the respect of the world. Liberals everywhere have envied the United States ever since I can remember.

        Do you also believe in Chemtrails, The Illuminati, The New World Order? You, my friend, are paranoid. If you think you can’t find the “truth” anywhere but from FOX News, Beck, Limbaugh and Palin…let me introduce you to a little friend called Google. Try it…but be careful…you may not like what you see.

      • Dan Burke

        @Greg

        Some of us use Google and still believe that Glenn Beck and Fox News are more correct than the mainstream media. Sometimes it is all in the viewpoint you bring and thus the questions you are willing to ask.

        To illustrate, I’ll use IT. When I want to fix a computer problem I have not encountered before, I get the error code and put it into Google. When it doesn’t produce the solution, I refine my query according to the problem I am facing and my experience/knowledge. Then when I get the search results, I scan the summaries on Google to find those most likely to include what others have found to fix the problem.

        So it is when we scan using Google to find answers to questions on the internet. Do you really read every single article about Obama and the Government’s economic policies (way more than the 2000 page health care bill our elected officials did NOT read)? Or do you pick and choose after performing a specific search on a certain related topic?

        Think of it this way. If all I read is stuff that explains how Marxism is so great and will save the economic world, you SHOULD expect that I will evaluate everything I read according to that expectation. Chances are that I will then disbelieve or even totally skip over conflicting sources. Well, then should you be surprised that as a capitalist if I do the same in reverse to communism and marxism? Not in the least. This is why I don’t expect those that believe in marxism/communism to really believe what I write. I know upfront that they are not intent on reading what I have to say. So why do I say anything? Because I happen to believe I have taken for too much knowledge from my fellow capitalists without giving back in kind so it about time I try doing so again and again as I strive to improve myself.

We must make Obama a lame duck president for his last two years in office…or sooner, if we can make him show his valid birth certificate, pass ports from the 1980′s and college transcripts. I foresee a start of a new beginning if we can throw these Democratic bums out in November and start over with real representation. You will note that a lot of the old RINOS will not be on the Republican ballot in November…there will be more added before the elections. We want real conservatives that want to do what is right for the American tax payer. It is time for the RINOS and DEMORATS to go.

It was cyanide-laced grape flavored Flavor Aid (often misidentified as Kool-Aid). It was one of the largest, 900 men, women, and children, murder / suicides of Americans.

        So, Kool-Aid is still a refreshing drink that shouldn't be tainted with the falsehood of its alleged involvement in Jonestown. Please get your facts straight.

        Jennifer, we conservative believe in our countries past history, 200 plus years of innovations that we have made. This would never have happened under a communist country, or a socialist country like Obama wants to give us. He told Joe the Plumber, come on Joe, we need to share the wealth (Communism) Look around you and see what we have in material things. We are way ahead of the Communist Countries due to our innovations, and our free capitalist Society. Why would we ever want to change something that has been so good to us. Muslim Obama want to change all that for Communism. Name me one country that has made more advances in our short time of being a country. You cannot do it.

      • Lubo

        Wayne…. You will never get a response back from the leftist progressive libs on that question!

        and just another thought about OBLAMA making his dumb marxist statement to Joe the Plumber, what he really meant was “Let’s spread the DEBT around”, even to our unborn grandchildren!

      • Robert Smith

        Joe the Plumber… Ahhhh, such fine memories of that poor soul who was manipulated almost as handily as Norma McCorvey and her conversion by the good old Reverend Philip (“Flip”) Benham, national director of the militant antiabortion group Operation Rescue

        Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher (Joe the Plumber) was originally not expressing any particular favorite candidate for President. Then he got his conversion to the right.

        Then it became obvious he was just trying another hustle. He got a small book deal, a few speaking gigs, and hmmmmm, I wonder how he’s doing today. Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher according to a Toledo Blade article stated, “Mr. Wurzelbacher said he works under Al Newell’s license, but according to Ohio building regulations, he must maintain his own license to do plumbing work. He is also not registered to operate as a plumber in Ohio, which means he’s not a plumber.”

        After the election he was speaking to a reporter after a speech. Mr. Wurzelbacher said that “McCain was trying to use [him]“, and accused McCain of having “really screwed [Wurzelbacher's] life up”.

        Sounds right to me, just like Norma’s life has taken a turn for the worst having been arrested recently.

      • Granny Mae

        Jennifer,
        Oh you of limited brain power ! I have no idea where you are coming from. I will say this though, stand back and watch what is about to happen ! People of thought are about to straighten some things out around here for a change ! And I don’t mean Republicans against Democrats ! I’m talking about brains against just plain STUPID ! To control a President you have to be able to control the House and Senate! The one with more power than Obama is Pelosi and she needs to retire ! Get rid of her and you can control congress. The president can’t do one thing without the OK of congress so when you elect people to congress you need to make sure you put your vote on the right person. Just how honest is that person? The majority of them are not honest or moral and yet we just run in to the poles and quickly vote mostly for the incumbant and hurry on our way smiling at how we have done our patriotic duty ! When in fact if we vote the way you seem to think, we could be putting Putan in office and then we can justify our stupidity by blamming the other party or the past office holders ! Obama is in office because a lot of people bought the ideas he handed out, so much so that they didn’t even bother to be concerned that his birth place was of great importance, his school and college records were of great importance, his religious beliefs were of major importance . It is the sum total of all these things that make up the escence of the man. He spouted words of transformation and people bought it . Each one bought it to their own ideas of what transformation was and not to what his ideas of transformation was ! I would say that 80 percent of the people voted for him strictly because of his skin color ! I don’t think any of you gave a thought to the fact that he was a socialist in his politics ! You never heard any of that in his speaches. It was as if you were at a Elvis concert and nothing else mattered except that he was there standing before you and he wanted your vote and by God you were going to give it to him ! I have one question for you. Now that you got him just exactly what has he done for you ?

      • http://n.cates@cox.net Norman F.

        Grannie Mae
        Good work. I wonder how the blacks in the United States, who voted 90% for Obama, feel now that he is putting all his energy on making the illegal (mostly Hispanic) people legal and able to vote for him?

      • http://donthaveone Beberoni

        And they will be controlling things after these next two elections Jennifer. And then the economy will start rolling again, and people can get back to work and off of the government handouts that Obama has escalated and grown again just like every stinking democrat that comes into power. The first thing they do is create more social agencies that we all get to pay for the rest of our lives, then expand these social agencies so that we all get to pay a little more to support them the rest of our lives. Well, I for one am sick of it. Having never received a government penny in my life, and being the one getting the ever loving life sucked out of me by the government, to give these things to the lazy S.O.B.’S that dont feel like they should have to work, and Im sick and tired of it. Screw the left wing liberal democrats who think I should pay health insurance for Joe Crack Dealer down the street because he doesnt feel like working for a living. Screw that, and screw every democrat and vote them all out of office. And you know what Jennifer, that is just what America is going to do, because we are all sick of it.

        From Freedom Fighter: >>>Blame it (Afganistan & Iraq) on Bush and keep telling the lie, suppress the truth <<<

        If not Bush and his crew who lied and got us into Afganistan and Iraq then who? Is there some connection to Obama's father? Is there a connection to his wife's sister? Is there a connection to his preacher?

        Just WHO is to blame for Afganistan and Iraq if it isn't Bush?

        Saddam didn't attack, train, or otherwise influence 911. That connection has been proven to have been false. The weapons of mass distruction are false.

        Just how can Bush NOT be blamed for our involvement in those quagmyers?

        Besides, I have a relative that went through the actual training camps that saddam used to train some of these terrorists. Saddam was paying the family of any suicide bomber $20,000. Sure he wasn’t in on any terroistic activites.

        Remember the The Downing Street "Memo" that exposed so many of Bush's lies?

        Yeah, how would you all have responded, if on 9/l2/01, GWB had gotten up in front of the nation, and said”my fellow Americans, all of this is our fault (for what???) and we deserved it, I have decided to just forgive this act of terror/violence/whatever name you fill it in…and just go on about our business..” Do any of you look at a map? Do you see where these countries are located in relation to each other and the world’s biggest oil supplies? How about Isreal? Our only real ally in the mid east, and we shun her? Hillary Clinton whose administration dissed Netanyahu, was seen courting the Jewish vote standing in front of a sea of Isreali flags waving…I think, finally, even Hillary gets it. Guys, stop blaming and start electing people who will work for us. Either we keep these guys accountable or we’re sunk.

      • http://PERSONALLIBERTYDIGEST e.poet

        Spike, Please don’t even consider Hillary C. as a potential answer to all this down the line. She is not only NOT an answer, she would be a slicker form of the same we are getting right now. Study her personal background, this is one evil woman. Her thesis at Wellesley College was a diatribe in praise of Communist Saul Alinsky (whose political entre’ consists of any means are justified by the end) titled “There Is Only the Fight: An Analysis of the Alinsky Model.” Not only did she glom on to him as her hero, He, himself, invited her take an internship with him, and thought she was making a huge mistake in not taking him up on this, instead choosing Yale Law School. She informed Saul, that only by marching through America’s elit institutions could she achieve real power and change the system from within. While at Yale, she soon fell in with the leftist fringe groups. These views must be seen in the light of the times in which they occurred. These were the radical hippy-dippy, Socialist/Communist,Weathermen inspired late 1960′s-early 70′s. I know, because I am contemporaneous to her. I lived it, I saw it, and it was ugly for America. Her big problem with Alinsky at the time, was he was working on too small a scale, he failed to build a NATIONAL MOVEMENT based on his ideas. She VOLUNTEERED to help the Black Panthers legal defense of Bobby Seale, and was offered a summer internship at the Berkeley Law Office of Robert Treuhaft, a lifelong member of the Stalinist faction of the Communist Party. She has made statements about being proud of being a “Progressive”, rooted in the early 1900′s Progressive Movement. (research this, it’s a horror show of racism, eugenics, and vile elitism, ie: Woodrow Wilson, Edward Bernays, Margaret Sanger, just to name a few. Now if you really want to see how truly ugly this gets, consider this, Goebbles, Hitlers propaganda man, proudly stated in his personal journals that the Third Reich were deeply indebted to, and learned everyhing they knew and practiced in the art of propaganda fom Woodrow Wilson, and Edward Bernays.) Wow! Hillary keeps such swell political company in her political views. How we all admire that in her! Also, google up Cloward and Piven,(these are the people who developed a strategy for the destuction of the United States, by overwhelming the obligations and structure of the country, and collapsing it from the top down, to achieve redistribution of wealth) guess what you see, a picture of Bill and Hillary very warmly greeting them at some splashey social function. If you really want to get a look and a little understanding at what is being perpetrated on the citizens of this amazing country, we call THE U.S.A., read “Liberal Fascism” by Jonah Goldberg, please, as you read, look up the notes at the back of the book, there is a plethora of information, sources, and good ideas for further research. God Bless those who CHOOSE to BECOME INFORMED.

        So, who got us into Iraq ans Afghanistan? Muslims, that’s who. Islam has been at war with the non-Islamic world for around 1,500 years. Read a little of the history.

      • Wayne

        I agree. The Muslim Extremist have been killing our people way back in the 70′s. Our emabassies have been bombed, our diplomats being killed, our 250 plus soldiers that was killed in the bombing in Lebanon several years ago by the extremist. Iraq was shooting at our military plane patrolling the skys over Irag and protecing the curds in the northern part of Iraq from being killed. The Muslim Extremist kept pushing us and pushing us. Had I been the president I would have nipped this in the bud earlier. Look at Iran holding our embassy staff hostage for almost a year. What did our Democrat President, Jimmy Carter do. He made a bungled attempt to free them and got 8 our our soldiers killed. Some of the folks on here are not only Democrats, they must be Muslim Democrats. Let’s take our country back in Nov. folks.

      • Jeep

        Let’s see Robert Smith, where to begin. I suppose by asking the question: Exactly who is lying to whom? You ask, “Just WHO is to blame for Afganistan and Iraq if it isn’t Bush?” How about the terrorists first, and then those who aid and support them. You know, like Saddam and the former Taliban rulers in Afghanistan. But, under lib speak it is ALWAYS best to “blame” America and forgive the guilty. This is why true patriots despise your attitude and are fed up with libs always taking the side of our would be oppressors and the enemies of freedom. You say that the “…weapons of mass distruction are false.” You lie. Did you forget about the tons of sarin gas, the biological agents and the Russian scientists allowed to exit Iraq before the invasion? How about the plethora of Iraqi scientists that fled to Syria? Or, maybe you didn’t hear about the 20,000 lbs. of enriched uranium discovered in Iraq last year. In short, you lib pansy, go back to your America hating hole and use your crayons to make another I hate Bush sign. Meanwhile, the conservative/libertarian movement afoot in our great country will wrest back control from those who seek to steal our heritage, and put our nation back on a properous course towards freedom and liberty.

      • eddie47d

        …and you will take your crayons and make another hate Obama sign! It wasn’t evil Saddam that liberals loved or wanted to protect as you seem to assume,hardly. It’s the fact that George Bush went after the wrong country and for extremly weak reasons. That is why he is blamed for the debacle in the Middle East. So in that sense you have stolen our heritage of being a honest decent nation. That hardly makes you respectable or a patriot.

        T Eddie47d…typical liberal mindset. You aren’t even smart enough to understand you must first have a PLACE to fight the enemy unless you want to fight them here on your street corner or between two rocks in the Afghan mountains.

        The enemy WAS in IRAQ, did have a presence there then, and still does now, was connected to SH and SH had weapons of mass destruction with the will and the intent to use them against us. I think his murderous record of killing innocent people by the millions should speak for itself, don’t you? Have you ever stopped to THINK, that just maybe IRAQ was used to lure the enemy into a defined target area so we could kill them and SH? Or maybe a better or more liberal military strategy would be to fight the war against terrorism on the ENEMY’S terms between two rocks in the Afghan Mtns? That being the case, I bet we could have depended on you to do the hand to hand combat with the enemy? Russia has already tried this strategy and got their BUTTS kicked.

        Maybe you should go back in time and see why the American people, as well as the CONGRESS, overwhelmingly supported the war in Iraq.

        Jeep, keep fighting the good fight fellow patriot.

        April 2004, the Jordanian
        authorities captured an al-Qaeda terrorist cell
        that worked out of Jordan. The terrorists had about 20
        tons of chemicals, including poison gas! That’s right,
        20 tons of chemicals—or weapons of mass destruction.
        The al-Qaeda leader in Jordan has confessed that they
        planned to kill 80,000 Jordanians with those chemicals.
        King Abdullah ii of Jordan told the
        San Francisco Chronicle that “It was
        a major, major operation. … It would
        have decapitated the government”.
        Where did these terrorists get the
        poison gas? The Jordanians know it
        came from Syria—which in itself is a
        dangerous act of war by that terrorist-
        sponsoring nation. Terrorism expert John Loftus: There’s a lot of reason to think [the source
        of the chemicals] might be Iraq. We captured Iraqi members
        of al-Qaeda, who’ve been trained in Iraq. Syria does have the ability to produce certain
        kinds of nerve gasses, but in small quantities. The large
        stockpiles were known to be in Iraq. The best U.S. and allied
        intelligence say that in the 10 weeks before the Iraq war,
        Saddam’s Russian adviser told him to get rid of all the nerve
        gas. … So they shipped it across the border
        to Syria and Lebanon and buried it. …
        there’s no doubt these guys confessed
        on Jordanian television that they received
        the training for this mission in Iraq. …
        And from the description it appears
        this is the form of nerve gas known as
        vx that Saddam Hussein used to kill hundreds of thousands of Iraqi Kurds.

      • Granny Mae

        What was the lie about Afganistan. Bush said if you do not give Bin Lardin up we will come in and get him. Even Obama agrees with that war. Do you think Obama is lying also?

        Obama’s ideologies does not fit into the main stream of this country. This country was founded on Christian Principles, not on Muslim principles. Obama wants Communism, Socialism, or what ever you want to call it. This is not what made this country great. I personally don’t want to have to work to keep some doper in his addiction. You know, like Obama said, we must share the wealth. The hell with that. We all need to take responsibility for our actions which Obama is not doing.

      • spike

        you are correct. And Ollie North knew who Osam Bin Laden was in the 80′s. But the fact remains, folks. Obama and his “share the wealth” mantra are convincing the weak minded, “the government owes me” people, that “the rich” should “share the wealth” that’s communist drivel if ever I heard it.

      • Vicki

        Just remember the Communist mantra
        “From each according to his abilities. To each according to his need.”

        Humans have a VERY overblown sense of “need”. Look around at the poorest of the poor. They live. Their actual need is met.

        That is what Communism offers. Of course the surplus has to be stored and controlled by someone. That someone would be the government elite. THEY are the ones who have all the excess beyond what the “people need”

        All about communism is a lie to control the very people whom the communist leaders claim to be freeing.

        I offer as proof EVERY communist country in the WORLD. Past and present.

SO I THINK THEY ARE ACORN PLANTS,OBAMMY HIMSELF OR JUST PLAN RETATDED.

      • Mark

        Robert doesn’t seem to remember that Sadam used Nerve Gas on his own people. Nerve Gas is classified as a weapon of mass destruction. He was seeking the tools to deliver that weapon further away. Sadam’s past history, invading his neighbor to the south, indicate he was not going to stop on his own. He wouldn’t let international observers keep looking for the hideout for this stuff. So 1 + 1 = 2.

        Your old buddy Bill Clinton, among other things, made it illegal for the US to use ‘bad people’ as spies. He single handedly wiped out our ability to see into the bad lands and gain any good intell. So if we had bad intell it was Clinton’s fault.

        All your Democratic buddies voted for the War too, based on the bad intell. You can call it lies if you want, Obama is the master at that, but thats another story in itself.

        Most importantly, Rule No 1 in War, when someone invades your home, i.e. 9-11, do whatever it takes to move the battle back to their home and away from your home. So with the War in Iraq the enemy now has to fight soldiers with guns and not us in our homes. Notice there hasn’t been a new 9-11 since Iraq!!!

      • Wayne

        Mark, it is impossible to try to explain this to some of the the folks on this forum. They either have forgot, or they are just like Obama. I agree with you, but, I am of sane mind and I see what is happening.

      • marvin

        so it was ok for sadam to murder hundreds of thousands of his own people then invade kuwait and set their oil wells on fire in your way of thinking that was ok so bush done it

      • Wayne

        I heard one of Saddams own generals, who had fled Iraq, said he personally witnessed Sadam’s hinchmens take a person, I don’t remember what they said he did, and dump him in a vat of acid. When the took him out there was only bones left. Good job, Robert, for defending a person who could do that to any human being, regardless of what they did. This is what most Americans are against, why aren’t you and your liberal Democrats against this. This is why we need good decent people in our government that deplores things like this. I have never had any regret that this ruthless dictator,Sadam was toppled from power. We need to do the same thing to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the president of Iran in case you do not watch the news.

      • Ed O

        Just to clear up some misstatements here, the War we are engaged in started in 1979 when radical islamists took over the American embassy in Iran, it has not stopped since then. If you take the time to read osama bin ladin’s book and check your history you will find that osama failed in his attacks on the “Near Enemy” so he shifted gears and went after the “Far Enemy” us. Does anyone remember the attacks on Americans in Europe, Lebanon,and on the military bases in the middle east, the oil embargoes, Somalia,the U.S.S. Cole,the attacks on the U.S. Embassies in Africa and the middle east, the TWO terrorist training camps found in Iraq with commercial aircraft set up to train on, the assassination attempt on Bush Sr., the mobile chemical labs unearthed in Iraq, the 250 metric TONS of enriched Uranium found in Iraq that was sold to the Canadian’s power authority by the New Iraqi government, the terrorists killed in Peru with several pounds of enriched Uranium, the attacks on 9/11/01 and since? This War has been going on for a long time now, It is just getting closer to home now as the Enemy gets better training more financing and more sophistication. We did not start this, no matter what the blame the U.S. crowd says, this is just another crew looking for world domination just like Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and every other megalomaniac despot in history. G.W.Bush put troops on the ground to take the War back to the Enemy. Better to fight on your enemy’s homelands than your own. I was one of those troops, we did what we could with what we had. Now we need to continue to go after our Enemy who looks to destroy and enslave. Read what the Enemy has written for distribution to their own people, their “manifestos” and books and propaganda, Just know it for what it is before you read it and know your history so you are not confused by the way they twist it. The U.S. is facing some hard times due to the greed and power lust of a comparative few.

        ROBERT SMITH,Bush was given info from our intelligence that said there was wmd’s.bush presented the same info to the congressional committee who voted unanimously to present it to congress who also voted unanimously to go to iraq.the british intell presented the same info to tony blair.after defeating iraq, most of iraq’s top men captured also thought sadaam had wmd’s.

      • http://donthaveone Beberoni

        Let me ask you this, bobby baby. Yes, they did find Al Quaeda training centers in Iraq, and did trace money and training to them. And yes, they had 30 pages of inventoried weapons of mass destruction, that was done during the Clinton administration, by the United Nations inspectors. Remember those? Oh, you forgot. How silly of you. And also, remember how before Bush was even a candidate to run for president, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Howard Dean, Tom Dashele, Ted Kennedy, and many more of your left wing heroe’s, appeared on TV, live TV, as I watched it myself, all declaring that Saddam Hussein had Weapons of Mass Destruction and had to be stopped. Remember that bobby boy? I do, because I watched them say it on TV, and I heard them all crying it out from the mountain tops on the radio. And this was before Bush was even a candidate for the presidency for his first term. So get out of here with your stinking left wing liberal pacifist appeasing lies, blaming Bush, when all your left wing heroes cried about it first, then they all voted to go to war. So Bush’s illegal war? You better think again. This thing has democrats written all over it. And I agreed with it, until the dems took over and decided to cut and run, and then decided to not talk to the general running the war but once every six weeks, then fired him for telling the truth about Obama not having talked to him for 6 weeks. Thats the part that should be illegal pal. But you want to point fingers, you better come with more than your pathetic left wing liberal lies, because you see, some of us are actually educated enough to know when you lefties are lying, which is usually when we see your lips move. Im just saying………….

      • Lewis Munn

        Robert,

        The worst possible logic for doing bad things is to hide behind someone else’s failures that way.

        You just compound the evil.

        Obama does hide behind others, and so do you. You gotta be less of a human to hide behind someone else!

        Someone else having made a mistake, if they did, does not justify you making it too. Especially making it bigger!

        You should learn and seek the right, honest, and fair all the time. Then you do not have to sneak around making recess appointments and having secret meetings with the in-group in the dark of the night, figuring out how to cheat your way in.

        Or paying off Senators to vote for you, openly and brazenly often.

        Our government was designed to be open and to contain honest men. And women. When that is lost, all is lost.

        So many of our government people at all levels now copy our leaders, going for personal power and money, accepting some bribes openly and some in secret. And the last thing they think of is the good of anybody but themselves, and maybe their co-conspirators.

        I know only 1/3 of my congressmen are worth considering putting back in office. The rest are all blow, and work against the good of the common people, and for their own good. We need a quiet revolution!

      • Ron

        Peter,

        For real? You really believe that there were no WMD. You obviously have a short or no memory. There were photo’s and video in the 90′s that showed Sadman Killing his own people and the weapons he had to do it. The US was the only major Country to take the stand to stop the insanity that the UN failed to get involved with. If it were not for the help we have given to almost all the world in aid and loans, we would have the monies to pay for all our programs. Our economic problems are truly due to program after program that are politically bargained for. Look back into the records, find out where the monies saved and monies dished out really came from. I think you will find that the TAX and SPEND people originated it! You know the same group that is trying to destroy Capitalism!

      • Bruce D.

        I saw one of those videos of men, woman, and children laying in the street dying of Mustard Gas. It is difficult to watch on video. I do not even want to imagine the brutality of dying like that. 100,000 people died by Mustard Gas. How many have to die before it starts to bother liberals?

      • eddie47d

        I believe it was 8-10,000 Kurds who died from his gas attack and that is horrific. Remember when Nixon invaded Cambodia and stirred up the Nationalists (Kymer Rouge). That sent that country into a slippery slope. We backed a coup against Nordam Sihanouk who was a somewhat neutral leader. We then armed the Lon Nol regime who turned those weapons against the Kymer Rouge. The rest is history. Did Conservatives care at all about the nearly 2 million who were killed because of our poking our nose into another nations internal affairs? We set the stage for that horror to unfold. The Vietnamese went into Cambodia and stopped the carnage. Later in 1986 Hun Sen (Cambodia) requested negotiations so Pol Pot could go to trial. This was through international means. Ronald Reagan blocked this effort and Pol Pot didn’t go to trial until 1997.(the actual trial lasted longer). Sometimes Conservatives are only champions in their own minds. We could play this Liberal-Conservative blame game until the cows come home if that’s what you want.

      • Bruce D.

        Eddie I don’t believe anything you say and certainly not the part about Ronald Reagan. What is your source? Liberal blogs. The U.S. tried to do for Vietnam what they did for South Korea. One is a huge success story the other a terrible failure. The democrats got us into Vietnam. It was one thing to pull our boys out of harms way but to stop the funding to Vietnam by the democrats in 1975 lead to a huge slaughter of people. For that the dems have blood on their hands.

      • Bruce D.

        Here you go Eddie. You left out this part.
        President Carter’s National Security Adviser, Zbigniew Brzezinski, has stated that in the spring of 1979: “I encouraged the Chinese to support Pol Pot. I encouraged the Thai to help the [Khmer Rouge]. The question was how to help the Cambodian people.[sic] Pol Pot was an abomination. We could never support him. But China could.”

      • Bruce D.

        Here you go Eddie. Notice the 100,000 figure. Being a liberal you couldn’t tell the truth if you wanted to.
        Kill tally: Approaching two million, including between 150,000 and 340,000 Iraqi and between 450,000 and 730,000 Iranian combatants killed during the Iran-Iraq War. An estimated 1,000 Kuwaiti nationals killed following the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. No conclusive figures for the number of Iraqis killed during the Gulf War, with estimates varying from as few as 1,500 to as many as 200,000. Over 100,000 Kurds killed or “disappeared”. No reliable figures for the number of Iraqi dissidents and Shia Muslims killed during Saddam’s reign, though estimates put the figure between 60,000 and 150,000. (Mass graves discovered following the US occupation of Iraq in 2003 suggest that the total combined figure for Kurds, Shias and dissidents killed could be as high as 300,000). Approximately 500,000 Iraqi children dead because of international trade sanctions introduced following the Gulf War.

      • Bruce D.

        You know Eddie, Pol Pot was educated in Paris on the ideology of Communism. Pol Pot took it on himself to kill anyone in Cambodia with any education at all. He wanted docile minds. I am not a Nixon fan but it is a liberal and Hollywood stretch of the imagination to blame that all on him.

      • eddie47d

        That mustard gas attack on the Kurds was in all the papers and many other news sources,8-10,000 killed.Not 100,000. You’re dragging dead bodies out of thin air or using the Iran-Iraq War to justify your count. We can all assume alot of things (about dead bodies) but beefing up figures to support one horror or another damages anyones credibility. Kind of like how many Russians died during WWII.Some say 30 million and some like to say 50 million. What a difference,so historical facts gets distorted and then nobody cares.

        Give Iraq Justice, Not Vengeance

        Human Rights Watch´s comprehensive report “Genocide in Iraq – The Anfal Campaign Against the Kurds,” originally published in July 1993, details the systematic and deliberate murder of at least 50,000 and possibly as many as 100,000 Kurds. The killings occurred between February and September 1988. “Genocide in Iraq” shows that the Kurdish victims were targeted on the basis of their ethnicity. This is a summary of the reports findings.

      • Patriot

        Well, all, here is my opinion about the WMD’s. Remember you heard it from me.
        Saddam had 6 months from the time he “threw out” the last UN (worthless) inspectors. Every time they got close, he threw them out. He had several years to move the ricin and other agents around.
        On a cloudy day, we can not track movements on the ground. Do you not think Sadddam did not move them?

        The WMD’s were moved on cloudy days into Syria, then out of Syria by boat into South America, They came up the line the same way as the tons of Cocaine comes up from South America.

        Small quantities (which is all that is needed) has been smuggled into this country and is now here, waiting for the next attack. These have been smuggled by the terrorists that are coming through our wide open borders.

        Prayer rugs have been found in the desert along the border.

        We will see the WMD’s again.

        Yeah, blame it all on Cheyney. The geographical evidence does not lie.
        Iran wants nukes, and they’re gonna get em. Then all this bickering will have done what good?

It’s a religious war, and a base hatred. THEY CAN’T LIKE US AND BE TRUE TO THEIR POLITICAL/RELIGIOUS doctrines…All we can do is BE THERE. Be there on the borders, back up Isreal, Because at least IF WE ARE THERE, which we should have been years ago, and not just letting the mid east police the mid east, then maybe we’d be better off now.

      • Wanda Murline

        Whether or not you believe this, Hussain did have weapons of mass destruction and had been using them on his own people. He was also a lament for the terrorists, like sanctuary cities. My husband retired Air Force and we know soldiers over there…they dug up a Russian mig that Hussain had buried in the desert…they pulled his ass out of a hole in the desert…the weapons of mass destruction are there…they are buried in the sands of the desert. Someday, they will be found and you will realize that Bush was right. The problem I have is that we should have handed Hussain over to the new government, said this is yours, mission accomplished in Iraq and left. We have overstayed in this country. Afghanistan will never be won. These people have been killing each other for centuries, they live in a culture (Muslim) that is dated back to the 14th century and basically most have not changed. You cannot fix stupid, so get the hell out and leave them to their backward ways and religion and if we leave them alone long enough, they’ll kill each other off without any of our help.

Eisenhower wrote to the new Prime Minister of the Bao Dai government, Ngo Dinh Diem, promising United States support to ensure a noncommunist Vietnam. Following through on that commitment, direct United States aid to South Vietnam began in January 1955, and American advisors began arriving in February to train the South Vietnamese army.”

        Actually, there are some historians who say that Kennedy was going to withdraw from Viet Nam and that is one of the reason he was assignated. Make no mistake, it was not one man who killed Kennedy. Then Johnson took over, and decided that we no longer needed to bomb North Vietnam. Once we stopped the bombing of the north, the war went into a downward spiral, and we wasted thousands of lives for nothing more than the pockets of the elists bankers and government entities. Make no mistake about this, my husband was in Viet Nam…I know the history because I was lived through it…the text books you are reading don’t tell you the entire truth.

        Hell, folks! By todays standards, JFK would be considered a moderate conservative! He cut taxes! He realized the importance of hard work to achieve your dreams. He understood PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY! Most of his “liberal” actions were civil rights issues that absolutely needed to be addressed. My point is this, the democratic party has been transformed by the minority far left. It no longer represents the majority of Dems. Statistically, 80-85% of ALL Americans agree on major issues like, making English our official language, that the Soc. Security system is broken and needs to be SERIOUSLY addressed, that we support drilling for oil off American coasts to reduce our dependence on foreign oil, a FLAT income tax rate of 17%, building more nuclear power plants to reduce carbon emissions, that it is not possible to negotiate with terrorist organizations, that our children should be allowed to take a moment of silence in school. If we agree on so much, why don’t our politicians DO something about it? They don’t listen. Obama, Pelosi, and Reid are a perfect example of this. They are part of the uber liberal left. But, we voters are to blame, too. We have continued to vote these idiots back into office time and time again. This November, take time to really understand the who/what/why of the candidates and make an informed decisions. Too many voters go to the polls after only listening to the mud slinging ads on TV, (left and right are both guilty of it) and don’t really know the men and women who are running. We HAVE to get the far left out of office for the whole country’s sake. Ok, I’ll get off my soap box now!

        No, no, and no, Incorrect. I heard a gentlemen on TV one time say that all the wars we have had, has been started under a Democratic President.

        People also tend to forget that, what Al-Quada and terrorism is for us today, Vietnam and communism, were for that generation. People were terrified of nuclear war, and didn’t want Russia and communism sweeping over the world. It’s so easy to judge our leaders from the past while wearing our 20/20 hindsight glasses.

        ROB,the dem have been in charge of the house 53 out of the last 63 yrs and the sen 56 out of the last 63 yrs so lets put the blame where it belongs!

        It was a democrate, escalated by a democrat (Lyndon Johnson), and it took a Republican (Nixon), to get us out. Iraq is no Vietnam, so dont even go there. And the democrats voted for this war, so please consider that before you start ill advised finger pointing.

      DaveH…So very true….Anyone can lead in “Good Times”, however, it is in times of hardship and adversity that a person’s true CHARACTER and leadership abilities shine through. I think King Obama’s pathetic record speaks for itself, and it isn’t just him alone because the entire CONGRESS is full of these childish-foolish people who cannot manage their own affairs, much less mine or yours, or a NATION. You THINK maybe it’s time to elect some REAL leadership based upon proven CREDENTIALS instead of the “Touchy-Feely-Progressive-Socialist” emotional driven mentality.

      Let’s see if I can get this straight, we elected this “man” to the presidency, that was a community organizer(ACORN/SEIU), a junior senator, hung out with known terrorists, was raised by communist and marxist parents, attended rev. wrights “church” for 20 years, who spews hate and venom for AMERICA and WHITE FOLKS, from the pulpit, based upon the marxist teachings of black liberation theology, and finally, we did all this on the promise of “Hope and Change” but never asked just what that really meant? In addition, he said he would “Fundamentally transform America” but nobody even asked the question just as to what that transformation would be? Go figure? It appears that we have a “Common Sense” problem in America, now doesn’t it?

      Bottom line, he is MANY things but a leader he is NOT. Even the mention of the “Prior Administration” reflects a lack of BASIC leadership skills. In fact, it is just down right foolish…period….. and WE THE PEOPLE aren’t buying it.

      The fact is, He is BEST at bashing Bush or making little childish foolish jokes or bowing down to foreign leaders or running down the steps of Air Force-1 or flying around the world bashing our GREAT Country or spending our grandchildren into economic slavery or shooting 3-point hoops, but in the end, the aforementioned behavior and resulting condition of AMERICA has revealed his true character and inability, to lead this GREAT NATION, back to FREEDOM and PROSPERITY.

      I think in the end, when his time as president is up, he will go down in history as the worst president this nation has ever had, JIMMY CARTER TIMES 10! The only question I have, will the republic survive him before he and his marxist friends can fully implement his radical 60′s C&P agenda for AMERICA.

        Amen, baby. I struggled long and hard before I VOTED VERY HARD AGAINST BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA. I wasn’t the biggest McCain fan, but I knew one thing: he had the mental toughness to deal with the foreign climate we find ourselves in. Someone who would stand for his country long and hard, because he already did it. These men campaigned hard for the opportunity to inherit this financial mess. They don’t deserve pity. I can tell you this: I’m NOT paying the bill for this unmanageable healthcare bill, and I’m NOT PAYING A FINE FOR NOT BUYING IT.

      • Lubo

        ……me either.

      • http://donthaveone Beberoni

        Im a working man with health insurance, and though Im not subject to a fine as I carry health insurance, Im soon going to be forced to pay higher premiums and get less coverage because of what these jerks have done. No one working will benefit. Only the lazy who refuse to work, will get rewarded for their bad behavior. Kind of like GM and Chrysler. Lets reward failure, and punish the successful by taxing them more and making the working people all pay more. Where the hell did we take a turn down this road? Its unbelievable. Punish success, and reward failure. How did we get to this? Only answer I have, is that we let lawyers control things. There you go.

        This perpetual campaigner is nothing but a fraud. Send as many of these socialist packing NOV 2nd as you possibly can.

      DaveH, Maybe President Obama is still too near his African heritage. In all the countries south of the Sahara the refrain has been, “we can not progress because of the colonial era”. After nearly 52 years in power one would think that blaming something so far in the past would have stopped. No way. So why do you think that your president will be any different than that.

    • Derek Neuhauser

      to Harold: You said “Obama will not be re-elected”.

      Uh … have you FORGOTTEN about a group called “ACORN”, and the nationwide VOTER FRAUD in 2008? In some places DOUBLE the number of registered voters. PROOF that Democrats drove across state lines to vote MULTIPLE TIMES!! Proof that many of the votes were from DEAD PEOPLE .. or people with MADE UP NAMES!!

      As long as ACORN is allowed to exist, and their member NOT thrown in Prison for Nationwide Federal Voter Fraud … then this atrocity will continue. Add to that the millions of current ILLEGAL ALIENS that Obama plans to turn into LEGAL VOTERS … you see “Houston, we have a Problem!”. Of gigantic proportions. If you think this country is in trouble now, after Obama’s election. “You ain’t seen NOTHING YET” …
      bad English … but a very appropriate quote!!

    • Russ G

      During the election, I discovered a quality Obama has. 2 things happened at the same time to prove me right. The BP oil spill and the great floods of my state of Tennessee..After 12 days you could tell, he didn’t want any part of that spill..He never even mentioned on T.V.a sincere or caring word about our state or bothered to fly here for an hour to observe the floods. Thats okay Obama, we handled things on our own.Look how he handles the people of the great state of Arizona! This man does not have a caring bone in his body for people.He has an Agenda.He believes he has a calling and nothing, I mean nothing! Is going to get in his way.He has sold his soul to S.E.I.U. the AFL-CIO. For the Love of God, the unions are making desicions in our WhiteHouse..Progressive and Control freaks are scary,especially ones with his kind of Ideaology..When I say “Evil”, you think of Hitler,Nepoleon,Stallin because they used army’s and murder to advance thier Ideaology..But whats the difference if a man uses money and power to do it like Obama? For Political reasons, Glenn Bleck took back his calling Obama a racist.But he was right the first time..But he’s not a racist in the way people are thinking. He can hate Country’s”exam.Britian”,even religions..For those of you who believe he’s a CHRISTIAN man, you keep telling yourself that..I pray this man has a change of heart someday soon. To keep his word , we’re out of Iraq.Probably a year to early in my opinion and if this idiot pulls us out of Aphganastan in one year,”Just to keep his word”, were in deep “S@@t..

        Russ G,
        He wants us to end up like France! Have you seen the news reels of things there lately? Nationwide strikes at raising the retirement age and they’re still at a lower age than us!

      • http://donthaveone Beberoni

        Thats just because he is a democrat. And the democrats are just like the French, pacifist appeasers. And they are the first to cry “Help me American” when they are getting slapped around, just like all the democrat voters who dont work and live on government handouts cry “help me Obama”. Just plain sick.

    • Carole Howell

      Yeah! your right, we should all completely ignore and forget the causes of problems……hey! wait a minute…..doesn’t that just cause them to happen again and again? Each time worse than before?……..Hey! wait a minute….isn’t that what has been happening over the last couple a decades?

      I agree he has broken many of his promises, that is why he lost his pre election supporters. He is just gutless.

    • BOE

      Obama is just like all the other blacks in this country. Blame everyone else for your problems because that race never matures past the age of 13 years old. Obama struts around like a big deal but can`t get the job done. He is nothing more than a mac-daddy.

      • http://?? Joe H.

        BOE,
        Quit making this crude. I know quite a few good Blacks that I have never heard say that it was anybodies fault for where they were in life. This was because they had a very good work ethic and and knew they were the master of their own destiny. One lady is a very good friend of my wifes at work. She has worked through hardships and setbacks and has succeded in spite of them!! She, like all the others I speak of are good conservatives and would not think of voting for Nobummer!! I would rather be around ANY of these people than half the white people I am aquanted with! and I enjoy their company as much as ANY people I know!

      • http://donthaveone Beberoni

        I agree with you to a point, other than that most of the successful black men I grew up playing sports with, and still associate with today, if you heard them speak or read statements they write down, you would think they were racists towards blacks, when they are black themselves. You see, they tell me how it is so hard for them, because so many blacks, young blacks, are in prison, have many children with many women out of wedlock and are absent parents, and the crime rates are so high in all your predominate black cities, like Chicago, Detroit, New Orleans, New York City, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Cleveland and others, it is not because of white guys. And it makes life hard on them, because of what their own race is doing. And it does keep them getting looked at in a lesser light than they deserve, because of what their own race is doing. And Im not a racist either, and I have to agree with them. And its a shame. But not racist.

      Dave H—- You are soooooo right!!!! Obama promised c-span so Americans could see who was working for the people and who was working against the people!!!!! No c-span tells me obama and reid and pelosi do not want America to see they have an agenda and its not what the people wanted it to be… obama promised no backroom deals so he put pelosi and reid behind closed doors to write obamacare and they rammed it down our throats.I could go on and on but let me finish with this,,,, Mr.President sir—I want to see your birth certificate and I do not want anymore stirring around this issue!!!!! Is there anyone elected offical that has not been bought off and can force obama to show all of America his birth certificate or can george soros just buy everyone off???????
