:icon_rr:LETS STAND WITH OBAMA! HE DID NOT START ALL OF WHATS WRONG NOW HIS NAME WAS MR. BUSH AND NO THINGS ARE LOOKING A BIT BETTER! LETS JUST NOT FORGET WHAT WAS ON HIS PLATE WHEN HE TOOK OVER. I SAY HE IS DOING A HELL OF A JOB
LULz
Okay, what is it exactly that is better...? more troops in the war... worsenring economy... what's better exactly? The wrongs that Bush did was ENFORCED by Obama not discouraged.. he embraced the bad policy, the patriot act, the military commissions act... what has he done to 'change'? Those who think Bush did all the bad things have short term memory, even Clinton was bombing places in IRAQ and had wars going on, assassinations etc. Then there was Bush Sr, Reagan.. Carter.. Nixon etc. Tons of bad presidents all with the same agenda
I am SO tired of the same old excuse that it is Bush's fault! Every single president who comes into office has his predecessor's 'mess' to clean up! The funny thing is, Obama is not doing things much differently at all than Bush did before him. He has yet to step up and do all the things he touted, other than slamming the ridicululous Healthcare Reform bill through in a way that bordered on illegal, and if you do some checking, his policies as far as the war, economics, and many other things are running the same way they were BEFORE he came in. As far as "Bush and his corporate friends", give me a break. The Democrats were largely behing the bailout, FannieMae/FreddieMac debacles, ACORN funding, and an entire host of other things that aided greatly in 'putting the mess on the table' we have now.
It has nothing to do with the color of his skin and that argument has fully run it's course also. How can you even say that when going into this, the entire premise of his campaign, the people backing him, and a large part of why he won was finally having a person of color sitting in The Oval Office? angry7 No, I do not happen to be a right-wing Republican, but I am damn angry.
Edited to add: If the color of his skin is causing people to have the view "he can't do anything right", why are so many people who aren't caucasian that voted for him now coming out against him and saying they wish they would NOT have voted for him? That point/argument makes no sense to me.
You don't become the president of the united states because you are a caring, loving, honest man... You get there because you are the most 'pliable'. People put far too much credit for the position of president, he is often just doing as told. Just pretending to take control. They hired him for one reason only, he is a good speaker and can read teleprompters fluently unlike Bush who botched up every speaking engagement. Obama has been well trained in 'saying what you want to hear' like all those books 'how to get ahead' etc. He is a debate and public speaking expert, that's all he needs to be.. The policy is set behind closed doors at the G8 G20, bilderberg, CFR meetings etc.
The only time Obama can do his own thing is when he is flying out to have beer with a cop etc. Or saying "I am disappointed" etc. He just jumps at the photo ops when there is opportunity to show his "human" side, when in fact he is doing nothing behind the scenes to make it any better for the people, only for big business
