Politics

[cheesepuffly]

Why in the world do you pick such controversial topics? It just leads to flaming and trolling.. perhaps think before you type.

Thats what politics is.

Then again Obama did this election too well. Thats the problem.

Just be glad you don't still have the village idiot.

And that is the garbage I CANNOT STAND.

Obama has already done enough to get a bash or two, but no, it never happens, why? Bashing only occurs commonly once the media starts it. The media was in full support of life size Bush heads with hair and other facial features styled like Hitler, but a single sign that says "Obama is a fascist" in text is an atrocity (same reporter in both cases even).

It is deplorable that everyone just blindly gets on the bandwagon and treats Obama as a 'can do no wrong' celebrity and Bush like Hitler. Especially when Bush did an amazing job considering the deplorable conditions. Hell, 90% of thing things bush is blamed for by the congress, media, and people are the fault of the democrat congress!

OPEN YOUR EYES PEOPLE. Look at the raw facts, look at what happened and who actually did what. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD stop going gaga over Obama and his fame. This has even reach Obama as you will notice all he really does is give speeches and continue to campaign around the world! Let us actually look toward the future, think about our surroundings, and support the President AS A PRESIDENT so that he may make good decisions for the future and not decisions to keep his fame.

No, we don't have the village idiot, we have the village pretty boy who can't do a damn thing himself but has hordes of people willing to fulfill his every whim. Oh year that and destroy the economy.

This is why I try to stay out of these discussions and why I'm glad no one lets these discussions hijack other topics.

you see thats why i started it. so it could be here instead of in other threads.

[VSMIT]

It wasn't here at all until you started it.

[Clavin12]

Are you condemning me? Nothings wrong with politics. (you know what I mean, no jokes please)

[mrtwosheds]

Oh year that and destroy the economy.

If anyone is to blame for triggering the current economic problems, it is the last US administration. But to be fair it is an issue bigger than any individual national government. It is not going to just go away because someone juggles the books skilfully. While ever increasing growth is still sought by the world economy, this finite and damaged world will only deliver ever increasing failure to it. Time to wake up and smell the roses before they are all trampled into the dirt by uncontrolled human greed.

[AHadley]

I don't tend to like people who can't put a sentence together with huge pauses in the middle, it doesn't say much about their intelligence. It might be that I'm generalising, but still, that's my view.

It might be a good idea to lok and/or delete this, to be honest. People will start fighting.

[Clavin12]

If they start fighting I will delete.

Thinks were improving until that damn 'porkulus' bill. And if a company is going to fail, it should fail. Sure, that might have a short term effect, but NOTHING like what er are going to have now that we funnels so much money into the companies and they failed anyway.

An economy is only destroyed when a government body steps in. Left to itself, the economy would stabilize and everyone who should get what they get, would get what they get. You invested in one of the car companies that was going to fail? BOO HOO, it failed, bad choice on your part.

I can't stand how Obama just sits around and whines. "I inherited this, I inherited that." Take it like a god damn man and do something about it like all the presidents before you did. And for the love of god, think about the after effects! Of course, maybe he is, maybe he wants to do what he is doing. For example, he says the shift to the government health care for companies is optional, but then he taxes the HELL out of them if they do not do it and offers all these 'breaks' if they do, and in the end all we end up with is people who can't get the medical procedures they need.

You do not know how much hell my father goes though with this garbage as a teacher! The contact negotiations that occur every year or few years are slowing eroding my family's health care and replacing it with the government garbage, which I can tell you, SUCKS.

I am damn glad so many people are waking up. I live in New Jersey, the state of Democrats, and already every professor and student I meat shares my point of view. Yes that is right, the ever liberal Professors have the same view as me now, IN NEW JERSEY!

Most people i know wanted McCain, so i still dont see why the fudge everyone wanted Obama.

1 word:
Celebrity

Same reason people give a crap about the kids of Hollywood stars.

I guess also:
"You don't vote for Obama you are a Racist."
"Any reason you give, however true, even about his policies, you are a Racist."

I had to deal with THAT the first time I got to vote. And yes, I didn't let it deter me. I took my list of what each candidate was going to do and picked that way. I went McCain, he scored higher, MUCH HIGHER, on my numeric chart.

That and the fact that theres limited choice.
