Even the inaccuracies and omissions? (I'm still waiting for someone else to respond to those...)


>I agree with you on all points....

>>First let me say that I hate all politicians. I'm not on Obama's side.
>>
>>What is all this vehement scathing hatred towards Obama for?? I truly don't get it. What has he done wrong??? Now I'm not
>>interested in personal, biased hatred. Don't respond just to spew unwarranted hatred. Show facts. Show me what real damage
>>has been done. I don't see it.
>>
>>Bill Clinton was a scumball. Personally, that is. There's no greater sin than cheating on one's wife, to me that is. I detest it. Having
>>said that - it's his business. Not yours nor mine. And, remember, Newt Gingrich lead the impeachment of Clinton - WHILE HE WAS
>>HAVING AN AFFAIR. Go figure.
>>
>>That aside - when Clinton left office the United States was in the strongest economic position in decades. See this http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2009/02/clinton-economic-record-and-rising.html
>>
>>George Bush was in office for 8 years and did absolutely NOTHING for this country. No real domestic attention at all. Just ask the people in Louisiana who are STILL trying to pick up their lives. By the time Bush left office the US was so far in debt that our grand
>>children will be paying for it far into their lives. Millions lost their jobs and their homes. That didn't happen on Clinton's watch. Obama
>>was right in his State of the Union address when he said "all this existed before he came through the door". Remember that -
>>he's trying to fix damage already done. And people talk about Bush like's he's Christ on earth. I don't get it.
>>
>>Obama pledged to turn the economy around and now he's trying to do it. For those of you who don't understand economic recovery,
>>you have to spend money to make money. It's going to cost money to repair the widespread economic damage done by Bush. The
>>Gov raises money through taxes. I don't like it either, but its how it's done. Do I necessarily think Obama has all the answers -No,
>>but at least he's trying.
>>
>>As far as the health care debate - I fail to see the issue. You already have to pay taxes. And alot of them. This is no different. The
>>goverment and the laws they pass should be for all. This is for all. Everyone gets health care. And everyone pays for it. I don't see it
>>as a takeover. I see it as the Gov forcing accounability on health ins companies. They will either do it right, or be out of
>>business. The GOP unanimously voted against it because they're republican. And that's all. had a republican president been in office,
>>considerign the exact same billl, the Dems would have opposed it and the republicans would have voted it in. It all comes down to
>>plain hatred. And for what?
>>
>>I hear folks hear talking about Obama "giving up the war" or "loosing the war" - Huh? President Obama just sent 30,000 more troops
>>to Afghanistan. You know Afghanistan - where the terrorists actually are. People are critisizing Obama for pulling out of Iraq.
>>So what? The US has had troops there for 7 years - that's 6 for Bush and 1 for Obama. The war there is over. There's no more reason
>>to stay. The United States attacked Iraq for no real reason. Instead, Osama Bin Laden roamed free in Afghanistan all that time. He'll
>>never be caught now.
>>
>>As far as this thing with Isreal - It's my humble opinion (for what it's worth) that Isreal is a big boy. Let them decide what to do with
>>their country. Honestly, it's none of the US's business. Now, assuming that position, the US should stop sending weapons and cash
>>to them. As long as the US fund Isreal, we should have a say in it. Either the US & Isreal sever ties (and purse strings), or Isreal
>>heeds our words.
>>
>>Obama has been in office just over a year and the GOP has done nothing but criticize. Obama pledged passed healthcare, a sore
>>spot for America for a hundred years. Bush bombed Iraq. Bush pledged to return "honor to the White House". What he did was bankrupt the US.
>>
>>Maybe it's time for some perspective?
