Yet the money keeps flowing to Iraq and Afghanistan. Like a waterfall.

Re: Obama 9 -- Its Been a Whole Year Now
Pretty much the only folks that proclaimed that Obama was a god or a rockstar were conservatives. Which is odd because based on how long this senate race thing is getting dragged out, they seem to feel the same way about Brown.

Re: Obama 9 -- Its Been a Whole Year Now
Never said anything about god or rockstar just that folks on here were talking a mandate from the people with 52 or 53% of the vote. In fact I'd say Rufus still believes that?

Re: Obama 9 -- Its Been a Whole Year Now
Well, the Republicans think they have a mandate now just based on one Senate Special Election so................what difference does it make?

Re: Obama 9 -- Its Been a Whole Year Now
Well, there's a difference in claiming a national mandate from a 52-53% victory in a national election, compared to claiming a national mandate from a 52-53% victory in Massachusetts.

Never believed it here. Only people I recall talking about mandates were Repubs after their hero George Bush got 50.x or whatever percent of the general vote.

They lied to us about that like they lie about everything else. You can't believe the President of the United States. Pretty sad.

Re: Obama 9 -- Its Been a Whole Year Now
Yeah...is it really that hard? I mean there are large areas of New Orleans that are still in utter ruin and yet we are going to waste resources on two wars that we can't win?
I said it the other day...this country needs a Truman right now...sure Truman made mistakes (everyone does) but when he made a decision he took a step forward and did it. Half his party didn't want to desegregate the military (especially the Dixiecrats) and Truman himself said he had "Southern Leanings" when it came to blacks but yet he still made the executive order to do it. When General Marshall opposed recognizing Israel Truman not only still did it but he also made sure not to alienate Marshall and kept him around and always defending him. He may have been brash, he may said a lot of stupid stuff but for him "The Buck Stops Here" actually meant something. That is what this country needs right now, someone who will act and has respect for the country and his office...not another two-faced blowhard.

Re: Obama 9 -- Its Been a Whole Year Now
It'll be interesting to see what he says about Guantanomo (sp?) and Iraq tonight, if anything. Cause he lied about both of them.
Afghanistan is comical because the Russians already tried that one and failed and we tried to do it on the cheap and failed and now we're trying to infuse (surge) more into it and fail again. That place is a cesspool.

Re: Obama 9 -- Its Been a Whole Year Now
Yeah, you would think we would learn from history...apparently the previous war in Afghanistan, Vietnam and Korea weren't enough to convince us that sometimes it is better not to get bogged down into this crap...oh wait I forgot no politician cares about that anymore the Warhawks have taken control!
I am sure his speech will be filled with lots of bs rhetoric...lots of crap about how the divisiveness is killing us and how the failure of the Health Care Reform needs to act as some sort of proof that now is the time to work together and blah blah blah. He will make mention of how he is still working on the promises he has yet to fulfill and then we wont hear about them again until next year around this time.
The Obama of the Primaries would give a vastly different speech. Too bad that guy was assassinated after a few months. He saw all the bs commentators complain about Cash For Clunkers even though it completely worked and instead of doing what he did before and calling them out on the BS, he turtled Matt Cooke style and gave up. That wasn't the man I voted for, and if the election was this November that isnt the man I will vote for again.

Re: Obama 9 -- Its Been a Whole Year Now
EMAIL OF THE DAY!!!!
Are you a Democrat, a Republican, or a Redneck?
Here is a little test that will help you decide.
The answer can be found by posing the following question:
You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, an Islamic Terrorist with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, praises Allah, raises the knife, and charges at you.
You are carrying a Kimber 1911 cal. 45 ACP, and you are an expert shot.
You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family.
What do you do?
..................................................
THINK CAREFULLY AND THEN SCROLL DOWN:
..................................................
Democrat's Answer:
Well, that's not enough information to answer the question! Does the man look poor or oppressed? Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack? Could we run away? What does my wife think? What about the kids? Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand? What does the law say about this situation? Does the pistol have appropriate safety built into it? Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children? Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me? Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me? If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me? Should I call 9-1-1? Why is this street so deserted? We need to raise taxes, have paint and weed day and make this happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior. This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for few days and try to come to a consensus.

Republican's Answer:

Daughter: “Nice grouping, Daddy! Were those the Winchester Silver Tips or Hydrashocks?”

Please, Scooby, tell us more about how much you know nothing about Afghanistan. I'm so intrigued and want to probe ever deeper into the ignorance.

Re: Obama 9 -- Its Been a Whole Year Now
First off, let me say I fell asleep 20 minutes into the clown's State of the Union. Not because I didn't want to hear what he had to say, but because I was exhausted. I did hear at one point he was in favor of a new generation of nuclear power plants - kudos to him if he's serious, but I think he is lying.
And what about Pelosi lol? Did she have a spring under her butt? She was like a jack-in-the-box, jumping up high and proud every time Obama cranked the wheel... it was very funny/disturbing seeing one of our national "leaders" turned into such a puppet....
Anyway....
Scoobs, everyone knows you are uneducated and stupid. Let me tell you why this is so in this particular case. The "reconciliation" process is meant ONLY as a budgetary tool. If it has happened in the past, that is why it has happened. This will be the first time in history the "nuclear option" will be used for something other than it was intended for. I won't contest all your citations, even though I should, knowing you they're probably all wrong. But it's irrelevant. Reconciliation has never been used the way the libs are threatening to do so in the history of the Union.
Someone's a wounded moron, lol.
Don't be stupid. Brown was 30 points behind a month left before the elections - it the bluest of blue states. And all those voters in Coakley's camp bailed on her when Brown got his message out - again, in the bluest of blue states. And he won with 52%, correct, a solid victory nearing a landslide. 7 more days and he would have had 60% of the vote.
The only thing it proves is that a huge number of Mass voters rejected liberalism.
No. Everyone we have there are all combatants, not advisors.

Re: Obama 9 -- Its Been a Whole Year Now
And the filibuster has never been used more than it has been used now. That being said my point wasn't that the Dems should use it for this anyway. I was pointing out that Bush didn't get anything passed through Congress either even though he had a Republican majority. Oh, and I copied those directly from the record so they're accurate.
Thanks for the personal attack. I enjoyed it.
