Not sure what you are saying here.

http://whatthefuckhasobamadonesofar.com/ Or maybe you would prefer this or this. anyone can make things sound awesome on paper. realistically, any military "accomplishment" of his is signing his name permitting other people to carry out the work they have done while he turns around and speaks badly our military and foreign policy, and expresses a desire to drastically cut our military. Though I suppose he did issue what I'm sure was an extra strongly worded statement to Mubarak and Ghadaffi. And as for any money Obama has ever "given" anyone. I'm sick and tired of hearing all the great causes he's "given" to. When he finds a way to pay for this shit, then and only then will I consider being impressed. Right now, all he's doing is paying us on our own dime, which thanks to him we have less and less chance of ever having to begin with. just my $0.02 You highlight a great point. There will be many people who live in denial about what Obama has accomplished as POTUS simply because they don't like Obama. Of course that doesn't mean he hasn't accomplished anything. Let's see, bin Laden was killed on his watch by his order, he brought RomneyCare to the other 49 states, he ended the war in Iraq, … Saddam Hussein killed far more people than OBL ever did. I don't recall hearing you singing praises to Bush for getting him.

In general, I support making sure people know what they're doing before trying to do it. Oh, I thought you were claiming the chemical weapons had degraded to the point they were no longer dangerous 9 years ago. If that was true, why do the people handling their destruction today need special training on how to handle them safely. Wouldn't the be even more degraded now?

What they didn't use would have degraded due to a relatively short shelf life. So in your l Opinion, all this special training is unnecessary? http://m.yahoo.com/w/legobpengine/news/uk-experts-help-iraq-destroy-chemical-residues-144204378.html?orig_host_hdr=news.yahoo.com&.intl=US&.lang=en-US

I wonder what happened to all those chemical weapons we knew Iraq had because we sold them to them?

That's a really bad analogy. More like I sell you a gun, you shoot your wife and neighbor and I shoot you to stop you from killing more people.

More like lets beat that dead horse. Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.

So what. If I sell you a gun, am I responsible for what you do with it?

I'm not referring to any particular technology. I'm referring to poor management and the political and financial boondoggle that occurred. Right, it's amazing how much money has been wasted on defense projects and nuclear weapons development. Makes all the rest look like peanuts. Are you claiming the planes don't fly and the bombs don't work? Are you claiming the companies did not fulfill their contract? You may not like what the money was spent on but you cannot claim the contractors didn't do what they were paid to do or that they took the money, paid their executives huge salaries and then filled bankruptcy. Nice strawman, but that's not what I wrote. Strawman....right...... is that all you have?

Surely you understand the difference between successful ventures and utter failures. In at least one case, the money was funnel to cronies.

No, but it sufficed. About a $Trillion more waste than you listed. That was just a sampler. Heck, I didn't, include GM or some of the other financial sinkholes.

Good that you think thousands of dead US servicemen and some $Trillion pissed away is a laughing matter. A excellent indicator of your judgment. No, but a good indicator of your lack of comprehension.

Is that all you got?

If you're going to give them this credit, then what the fuck happened for the first 6 years of the Bush Administration? 911 reminding me of Lois Griffin's campaign for mayor against Adam West. 'The answer to all problems or mere questions is 9/11.' Sorry, mate, the tax cut began before 9/11 and the Iraqi war was unrelated. I don't disagree, however there was a small recession that began the last year Clinton was in office prior to that, the tax cuts were working. I believe that 911 had a rippling effect on the economy and also on peoples psyche. But that's not really the point I was making. My point is you cannot accurately simplify the reasons an economy is doing well or not so well based solely on tax rates. EXACTLY, so all the GOP's claims of economic disaster if the tax rates on the wealthy are increased have no basis in reality. Job creators - bah humbug! All they do is squirrel the money away in the Caymans anyway. Yeah, instead they should be pissing tax payers money away on electric cars from Norway, Wind Mills from China and secretly feeding money to their friends by investing in Solar Panel companies.

I agree. Unless it's an election year, of course.

My point is you cannot accurately simplify the reasons an economy is doing well or not so well based solely on tax rates. I was talking a new topic - the balanced budget and you giving all the credit to the Republican Congress. It managed to balance the budget with Clinton, but not in 6 years with Bush, or even close to it. I could see a reason for a couple years of trouble due to the dotbomb and 9/11, but not the duration. I can't see a reason to give the Congress the credit here, not Clinton. Bush and Congress should have been able to work together well...but the results show something else. I don't disagree. I do not think the solution to our current economic problems is to give politicians more money to spend. They will wind up pissing it away instead of using it to start paying down the deb. Giving a politician money is like giving a crackhead a pound of crack and telling him not to smoke any.

We just annoy the liberals by reminding them that nearly every Democrat voted to go to war. We remind them of Hillary Clinton giving a speech and claiming Saddam had WMD's. Then we remind them that Bill Clinton, Sandy Berger and nearly every Democrat in the Clinton Administration and in Congress thought Iraq had WMD's. http://www.snopes.com/politics/war/wmdquotes.asp Left-Wingers really hate to be reminded of this. But we get a good laugh when they turn red from embarrasment and start sputtering nonsense they have been programed to spew. We just laugh and laugh and laugh at them. Then we snicker and laugh some more.

You are a few years late to the discussion. Most of us have said what we have to say and moved on. Please feel free to beat a dead horse. I doubt you are going to change anyones mind.

What a blatantly stupid remark. So you think it's better to kill him ? Are you a Christian ? It's a blatantly true remark. I've not stated what I think. I have only asked a question and made a prediction. (quick.....look for a template)

He would likely become someone's bitch in prison. Relegated to a life of being swapped for a pack of cigarettes.

But would they be much help if you fell out of a tree-stand, which is a much more likely occurrence? Dick Cheney pushes his companions out of trees too? Say it ain't so! You, sir, are an expert at twisting words! You should see him tap dance. Gregory Hines would be impressed.
