Ok, so Obama runs for president saying he is going to fix everything Bush did. He promised no earmark spending then broke the record for the most earmarks in one bill. Promised he was going to get out of Iraq and here we are on the same table as Pres. Bush on withdrawal. Promised that he was going to fix Bush's debt then created a bill which causes more debt then all previous presidents combined.
The question is:
Have you become so infatuated with Obama that he can never do anything wrong?
Have you become so consumed with your personal ambitions that you don’t care about our children who will inherit this debt?
Explain how his system of government is not socialism.
Explain how his gift for public speaking requires a teleprompter for all speaking engagements.
How my many times does he have to lie in order for you to call him a liar? (please give me an actual number)
How does a transparent government not know where A-F executive is?
Why does a transparent government not want you to see the pictures of NYC?
Many Sheeple are in denial because in there mind 'The One', he who causes newmen/newswomen to get tingles up and down their legs, wet their pants at the mere mention of his name, look totally the other way even though his rhetoric nowhere near matches his actions , caring for GITMO detainees, he who says waterboarding is 'immoral', yet, not caring about this new precious Life, believes it's 'moral' to deny a newborn baby treatment to survive because it was 'intended' to be aborted, he who gives your children and grandchildren a 9.3 Trillion Dollar debt to have to pay off (at the 10 yr mark), he whose first two major bills alone, the "stimulus" and "omnibus," cost nearly twice as much as was spent on Iraq over six years – $1.2 trillion vs. $650 billion - he who announced cuts of $1.4 billion to missile defence, the day after North Korea test-fired its long-range, multi-stage ballistic missile - he whose "tax cuts for 95 per cent" turned out to mean $13 a week from June to December, to be clawed back to $8 a week in January – as compared with President Bush’s 2008 tax rebates of $600 to $1,200 plus $300 per child, which were notably scoffed at during the election campaign by Michelle Obama - he who promised 'ethical' then installed a 'Tax Cheat' as Treasury Secretary to come down hard if you don't pay yours - he promised 'transparency', he broke his his transparency pledge with the very first bill he signed into law. On January 29, the White House announced that the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act had been posted online for review. One problem: Obama had already signed it -- in violation of his "sunlight before signing" pledge to post legislation for public comment on the White House website five days before he sealed any deal - he who abandoned his campaign promise to reform earmarks, signing the omnibus bill which contained 8,816 of them - he who asked asking federal department and agency chiefs to find $100,000,000 to cut from the $3,550,000,000 budget when he holds his first formal Cabinet meeting - boy, 100 million...that'll really put a dent in that 3.5 Trillion dollars of debt for the coming year ! - put those numbers in your calculator...0.0029% - he who was warned by Hillary Clinton back in the primary debates that meeting with dictators would lead to the President being used as propaganda, Obama walked right into the trap. With all eyes focused on Obama, Hugo Chavez shoved an anti-American book into Obama's face -- and Obama accepted the 'gift' with a smile. He even held it up for the cameras - he whose arrogant staff told us 'don't believe your lying eyes', that was no bow to the Saudi King - even though Ray Charles could see that - This Thursday, for the first time in nine years, there won't be a White House ceremony in observance of the National Day of Prayer - and the list goes on...in short, they are 'in the tank', blinders-on robots, for Obama can doeth no wrong !!
"Have you become so infatuated with Obama that he can never do anything wrong? "
No. I am no infatuated with him. I am happy he is doing a good job so far, but he has made some mistakes.
"Have you become so consumed with your personal ambitions that you don’t care about our children who will inherit this debt? "
Were you this concerned when Bush was spending money like a drucken sailor with nothing to show for it. At least Obama's spending plans are aimed at helping the middle class, not like bush's tax cuts for the super rich.
"Explain how his system of government is not socialism. "
All goverments are socialist to a certain extent. And it is not a bad thing. The free market is not the panecea you think it is.
"Explain how his gift for public speaking requires a teleprompter for all speaking engagements. "
What an idiotic complaint. Do you think Bush didn't use index cards or telepromters. Obama prefers the teleprompters to cards. So you are blaming him for utilizing technology?
"How my many times does he have to lie in order for you to call him a liar? (please give me an actual number) "
I don't know of any lies he has told, so it is a moot point.
"How does a transparent government not know where A-F executive is? "
Huh? Want to be a little less cryptic here
"Why does a transparent government not want you to see the pictures of NYC?"
I assume you are talking about the air force one pictures. He is probably not releasing them because he knows it was a bonehead move, and releasing the pictures accomplishes nothing since they will never be used for the intdended use. Your implication is that he is trying to hide something. What is there to hide? Everyone knows what happened, Obama appologized. Talk about making a mountain out of a mole hill.
If this is all you have to complain about, then I would say he is doing an excellent job.
"I am pretty sure that everything that I mentioned is in the news."
The news never portrays the actuall story as a truthfull story, it's always warped and stretched to make it sound more intense then things really are, Not to mention a lot of the mainstream media feeding us the loads of crap we see everyday is paid for and funded by the same government that doesnt want us to think for ourselfs, so tell me, why trust what you hear on television? I dont need a t.v screen to tell me the world is a chaotic place, I just need my own two cents
as for :"At least Obama's spending plans are aimed at helping the middle class, not like bush's tax cuts for the super rich." What is he doing for the poor? everyone is so concerned about the rich and middle class, but no one has took the time to think of the poor, Obama is doing sht for the poor, just as his predisesor, Once I see politicians joining forces to end homelessness, ban illegal war crimes and stop the uranium mining, then, maybey then I will gain faith in my fellow men, my country and my government, but until that day, change starts with each individual person, including myself, Not your false savior Obama... Politicians are trained liars, Trained manipulators, and expert bullshtters, the day I believe one word from a world leaders mouth, is the day when the dali lama can peacefully walk into tibet, and the way its looking, thats going to take a long long time to happen, if ever.
One good reason to be weary of Obama can be summed up by 7 words "The Billderberg Group" and "The New World Order"
Obama can and does lots of wrong things. Trying to protect the previous administration from being convicted of war crimes is probably the biggest. He has had plenty of missteps so far.
Reagan spent more money than all previous presidents combined and George W Bush also spent more money than all previous presidents combined. I do worry about the debts we pass on to our kids but at least most of the money Obama is spending is needed for our future growth and prosperity rather than being thrown into a black hole to attack countries that pose no threat to us and to give tax cuts to those who need it least.
Socialism is an economic ideology. No nation in the world is a pure form of any economic system; they are all a blend. How is every federal program including the military not socialism? Obama is suggesting that we raise the maximum tax rate up to where it was under Reagan, not taking clues from Stalin.
All politicians use a teleprompter at times. You are just getting petty here.
I didn't vote for Obama because I thought he was as pure as the driven snow. I voted for him because he was heads and shoulders better than his opponent. I would have prefered Dennis Kucinich. Kucinich is unelectable for various reasons, Obama was the best candidate that was actually electable. Politics is the art of selecting the lesser evil.
Obama is just another mindless puppet, as all politicians are. Im sick of the obama media coverage, it is a godd*mn obamanation and I really dont think he is any better then bush, puppets are puppets, there's always a higher power in the background calling the shots, all they did was put a black face on tearony, how ironic. Im an anticapitalist at heart all though I know it could never work, so when it comes to politics, I think people are really ignorant not to realize they are all just sheep in the pen and the government is the slaughter house, open your eyes and realize, the government dont give a dang about you, all they care about is keeping the corporations rich and keeping the poor poor. If obama was really a great man, he would end the war, stop bailing out wallstreet and fight homelessness, but since I dont see any of that happening I am going to have to say that no Obama is no different then bush, just another corporate sponser to wall street and another mass murderer off war. Its the Obama deception, and I dont buy it, your all slaves to the government, as am I, the question is, what are we going to do about it?
amblessed, quite a non-sequiter there. Good job...
"In other words you cant answer, thats all you had to say."
tseirpeht, what didn't I answer?
"Why is it whenever someone who believes in G-d comes around and asks a question you change the subject?"
When did I change the subject?
"I wouldnt call Amblessed's faith blind. When a man makes a commitment to G-d it is a love that is greater for your mind to concieve. So you have no right to call it blind, especially when they are willing to die then let go of it."
When someone shuts their eyes to the findings of real scientific evidence simply because it doesn't jive with some pre-concieved notion of how the world was created, then yes they are blind. Anyone who literally beleives the events in genesis actualy occured is blind.
"It is amazing how much hate many of you hold against something you dont believe in. Even still, G-d bless you. "
As ronnie raygun used to say:
There you go again...
You thumpers always resort to the "why do you hate god" eventually. I hate santa and the easter bunny too. Does that make you feel better.
"Many Sheeple are in denial because in there mind 'The One', "
This is pretty funny coming from someone who follows his faith so blindly, he denies realy science because it might interfere with his fantasies.
Amblessed, your tirade is mostly regurgitated crap coming from right wing websites, but I will address one point. Comparing Bush's spending in Iraq to Obama's stimulus and omnibus spending is ludicrous. Try comparing it to Bush's entire budgets, which were huge, and did nothing to help the middle class. And investing in infrastructure and job creation is a lot different to pissing money away in a war that should never have been fought in the first place. Not to mention the enourmous loss of life, that as a christian should be appalling to you. But you are not really concerned with the lives of brown people in the middles east. You are more concerned with unborn fetuses than living breathing human beings.
excuse me gossiped, isnt this what this topic is for, to discuss our beliefs on the topic asked, why should I get a room, if you are so offended by peoples answers maybe thats your problem, but stop putting others down for giving there voice to the question asked, its not polite first of all and its not respectfull to the person who started this topic, freedom of speech is a gift, and nobody needs to get a room to exercise there right to speak, maybe you should learn commpassion. as for discussing my political crap elsewhere, sorry but this topic is labeled under politics, so why not discuss politics here? as far as I know this advice site is for everyone, not just you, so chillax a bit, no ones personally attacking you, so why so p'oed?
Dont need to, im canadian, I have my own government to deal with, Im just sick of american politics reaching over into canadian politics and corrupting my country, since obama took office, to many of our canadian policies changed for the worse due to obama's requests of our government, when bush was in power canadians didnt change policies because bush left us alone(or should I say our government didnt want anything to do with bush), too bad obama cant do the same.Why is it american government feels the need to try and push there policies upon other country's, Its a bit scary, you dont see the canadian government trying to run america, I really dislike politics.
Glad to see my state cares about a human being: COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - South Carolina legislators have advanced a bill that ensures a fetus who survives an abortion attempt is not treated as medical waste. A Senate panel approved the bill Wednesday, sending it to the full Judiciary Committee. The House approved it in February. The proposal defines a person as anyone who is breathing and has a beating heart after birth, whether by labor, cesarean section, or abortion. A fetus who survives an abortion attempt would be entitled to treatment as any other person.
"So far I have heard lots of complaining from you, but nothing in the way of solutions" one word ANTICAPITALIST, as for throwing my hands in the air, the only hand in the air is my right one with the middle finger raised, directed at my own country's parliment buildings, I have been to the G8 summit protests and im not turning a blind eye, I simply lost faith in my governments choices. my beliefs are my own, im not forcing them on anyone nor do I suggest people give up there ideals, believe what you will, thats the joy of freedom of choise!!
In other words you cant answer, thats all you had to say. Why is it whenever someone who believes in G-d comes around and asks a question you change the subject? I wouldnt call Amblessed's faith blind. When a man makes a commitment to G-d it is a love that is greater for your mind to concieve. So you have no right to call it blind, especially when they are willing to die then let go of it. It is amazing how much hate many of you hold against something you dont believe in. Even still, G-d bless you.
"Politics is the art of evil, no matter who you vote for, they will always put the values of the corporations before the people"
I understand you sentiment, but it is not quite as dire as you make it sound. Not all politicians are like that. There are way too many, but not all. I don't think Obama is. At least I hope so. So far I have heard lots of complaining from you, but nothing in the way of solutions. If you just throw up your hands and say it is useless, than they have already won.
Tbf, the fact your bothering to write out massive paragraphs like this on a site thats called FUNadvice means you're proberaly the most boring person going TSEIPHRET whatever. Obamma is a GOOD man, if he wasn't millions of Americans wouldnt have voted him as president would they? No. So before you go firing you're political GAGA about, take a second, think and then realise that the rest of the human population do not want to know such pishposh! Have the best possible day. (:

filletofspam "Politics is the art of selecting the lesser evil."
Politics is the art of evil, no matter who you vote for, they will always put the values of the corporations before the people, and when someone comes along that threatens that, they get assasinated, look at JFK for instinse, so in that sence, politics are evil. I believe 911 was an inside job,involving politics and the bush administration, just another reason why I believe all politics are more harmfull then good.
Firstly- as others have said give him a chance. He can not succeed imediantly and he can not change the worlds worries and problems within a click of his fingers. Surely you know problems like these take time and patience and careful planning to ensure they go ok?
" miss Bush he was hilarious, as for Obama I haven't heard anything special about him so far,..." So you think that a war driven lunatic was hilarious? Is life and politics a game for you?
Gossiped Just because you can vote does not make you intelligent. Your answers are a testament to that. I asked a question you failed on multiple occasions to answer them. I asked a question, Fun advice is a way to get an answer. If you don’t like the question, or more to the point can’t answer the question then go bother someone else. I am not forcing you to read my posts, your doing that on your own and have only managed thus far to dig a deep hole.
Oh, trust me there are 100's of topics I can get into.
-At least Obama's spending plans are aimed at helping the middle class, not like bush's tax cuts for the super rich.
What has he done for the middle class? His bail outs are for companys and the people who dont pay their mortage. In order for you to get any benefits from it you need to damage your credit first. So responsible home owners need to screw themselves first.
tseirpeht, He has been president for less than 4 months. He has acheived an enormous amount of things in such a short time. Much more than most presidents, and much much more than Bush accomplished. Just because you don't like what he has done is irrelevant. Being the wing-nut you are, you will never agree with anything he does. And yes, I think you are jelous because he has the overwhelming support of the american people.
Erm, it does. When you make history I'm sure then you can say that one of the most powerful men in the world has done nothing, he fighted against all odds to be the president. Just give him a chance! And FYI swine flu is the same as any other flu, dont you watch the news? Its hardly a worldwide disaster when theres a cure, is it now?
He's right!!! Obama has barely done anything he said he was gonna do and on top of that he's continuing to let people enter and leave mexico as they please knowing thats were the swine flu is coming from... just because he made history doesnt mean everyone should worship his feet I cant stand the site of him myself
"No credibility? Are you sure? I am pretty sure that everything that I mentioned is in the news."
What news? FOX Noise? I am pretty ure everything you mentioned is half-truths or out and out lies.
Oh, trust me there are 100's of topics I can get into.
You have NO credibility to deem yourself trustworthy. You're a mudslinger... PERIOD. The lowest and most pathetic political existence.
ROFL No credibility? Are you sure? I am pretty sure that everything that I mentioned is in the news. Funny how name calling always gets used when they have lost the argument.
Funny how name calling always gets used when they have lost the argument.
Oh, ANOTHER generalization... WRONG again.
And yes... you have ZERO credibility.
You could take a gun to school and kill 100 kids and make history. Just because you can make history doesn't make you a good person.
Seriously, are you like jelous of OBAMA or something, because hes only been the president foe a few months LAY OF. he made history.
it's so funny how anal everyone is getting... HE HASN"T EVEN BEEN IN OFFICE THAT LONG.
EVERYONE CHILLL..
I miss Bush he was hilarious, as for Obama I havent heard anything special about him so far,...
Whatever, more mumbojumbo. You're proberly a mindless puppet too. Give him some support!!!
Jelous? That is without a doubt the dumbest answer I could have expected.
Much like yourself then!
