CanuckInUSA 0 #7 July 15, 2010 It really is amazing how someone with no leadership experience in business or in government can all of a sudden be given the most powerful job in the world. Obama is the Hollywood president. Hollywood has been giving us "make believe" stories for years and they have delivered a real world "make believe" president who happens to follow the carefully scripted teleprompters. But of course the president of the United States is a puppet to the Rockefellers and Rothchilds. Always has been and always will be. It doesn't matter if it is a Donkey or an Elephant who holds the White House. The real power belongs to the Bilderberg Group. I will say Obama is more coherent than GWB was, even if I disagree with the nanny state "yes we can" Hollywood message the former community organizer and junior senator continues to preach. ROFLMAO ... Now if you will excuse me, I will get off of the soap box and watch loyal Democrats and loyal Republicans tell us how they and only they should ever be allowed to govern.

CanuckInUSA 0 #10 July 15, 2010 Yeah Canada has it's issues alright. It is a nation where you can immigrate to, proceed to murder your own daughter (or better yet blow up an airplane killing 329 people) and still be allowed to walk free on the streets thanks to it's Liberal criminal justice system. Or if you want to use Canada's great health care system as a model for Obama to follow, it is a nation where family doctors are refusing to take on new patients. Yes Canada is such a perfect system that Obama (the community organizer, the junior senator with absolutely zero leadership experience before Hollywood decided he would be president) wants to emulate.

So how do you feel about Reagan? How do you feel about Bush? (who did have some leadership skills.....except all the companies he lead went out of business) The people voted for these clowns, you can't blame Obama for that.... or are you implying that a large majority of Americans are stupid?

CanuckInUSA 0 #13 July 15, 2010 I have a question for you. Why did you bring up Canada? Canada has absolutely nothing to do with this thread. This thread is about two men. One who has a long history of leadership experience and another who prior to Hollywood deciding that they were ready to social engineer the world with a false savior who has absolutely no experience in business, has absolutely no experience with the military and was nothing more than a community organizer and then went on to become a junior senator. Isn't it amazing how someone with such poor leadership experience can all of a sudden be the most powerful man in the world. It is nothing more that the male version of Sarah Palin being given the presidency. Sarah Palin sure the fuck was not qualified to be vice-prez ... but the Hollywood president is? Give me a break ... Face it ... Obama is nothing more than a puppet. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I see you failed to see my criticism of GWB but for some dumb reason seem to imply that I am a Bush lover. GWB is a fucking moron!!! Is that good enough for you?

Won't wear a flag pin on teh lapel, beating this birther issue to death, semantic inanity vs the Republican throwing us into debt and hammering most aspects of the economy and all you can still clammer is birther BS? Anyone care that a general broke rank and verbally assaulted the CIC? I bet if a junior officer/enlistee looked cross-eyed at the good general he would have their ass, yet he feels insubbordination is ok. Can you guys be more hypocritical? You don't have to like the guy wearing the rank who is above you but you MUST respect the uniform and rank attached WITHOUT QUESTION.

jakee 1,611 #25 July 16, 2010 I hate to say it, but I think I might be able to detect just a smidgeon of bias in the way those resumes were presented. If McChrystal's is presented the same way as Obama's it might read: McChrystal Biography: Birthplace: Location remains questionable. Proof of United States Citizenship hasn't been provided. Education: United States Military Academy, United States Naval War College, Salve Regina University. Records never produced, attendance remains questionable. Military career: Comissioned Officer, US Army, 1976-2010. Business career: None. Political Career: None. Impressive...Do you want to have an ideagasm?
