Re: Not surprised said by apollo80:Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. LOL, it's no surprise to me. Did anyone really think that 8 years of Bush could be undone in less than a year, less than 2 years? Plug-in McCain for Obama and you would have the same result, but in the opposite direction.
It always cracks me up that those that voted against Obama in the last election have higher (sometimes unrealistic) expectations than the very people that did vote for him. Good thing we have online forums such as this to vent out people's feelings.

"It always cracks me up" how those who voted for Obama still pull the Bush card. You'll likely be doing that 3 1/2 years down the road when the elections come up again.

New Orleans, LA | It's funny you say that because Republicans still are crying about Bill Clinton to this day.
Couldn't go a week in the last 8 years without a bashing Clinton, blaming Clinton, crying about Clinton article or TV segment on FakeNews.
Yet not even a year into Obama's term....and they want us to stop even remotely talking about George Bush.
It's like....huh? |

We can't change it, so there's no point in getting upset over it.
When Bush was in office, the Democrats always said "Bush is in office, not Clinton, so stop bringing up what Clinton did", yet the Democrats continue to bring up Bush.
It'll be like this forever - both sides will never stop.

"It always cracks me up" how those who voted for Obama still pull the Bush card. You'll likely be doing that 3 1/2 years down the road when the elections come up again. If Obama was the only member of the Executive Branch of our government, then I would agree. There is no Bush card, there is only people that are still sore about the election results and anything that goes on within the "US Government" which is made up of us, the people living here, not "just" Obama; turns into another conspiracy theory of how one man is doing the job of thousands.
Newsflash, he doesn't/can't/won't do every thing. If the story had some details about how Obama called up the Judge and gave an order to 'Delay Everything'; this might carry a teaspoon of water in an argument.
Obama might sit at the top of the Executive Pyramid, but he sure doesn't micro-manage every single person or issue that takes place within that part of the US Government.
To claim otherwise shows a great lack of understanding for how our government works. So yes, I will continue to laugh at how naive people are with the comments they post.  No one thinks of Obama as the savior or messiah; that was just all Republican spin from the last election. Not including the loonies anyway.
Carry on though, the comments are hilarious. It's good to poke fun at your leader, keeps them grounded so all of those 'Obama Worshippers' out there will finally realize that he isn't a deity like the nice man in the red hat shirt told last year.

I agree. So why would one side tell the other to stop bringing the other up? No matter who is in office, the minute something bad happens, the previous admin will be blamed by the new ones fans.
Clinton was blamed for everything under the sun that went down during Bush's terrible 2 terms. Bush will be blamed for everything under the sun that goes down during Obama's....well, we will see what his term or terms bring. |

Except for the fact that I'm not a Republican, and I don't like Republicans, so I really could care less what that party does. I've no clue what they are blaming Clinton for, but it is probably moronic.
I'm just pointing out the fact that you can only blame Bush and his Administration for so long, and it's past that time. You have to start taking responsibility for whom you elected, and he has to start taking responsibility for his actions/administration's actions and the very obvious lies throughout the campaign. I hate saying "I told you so", but anyone who bought that "CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN" garbage deserves it. All politicians are the same crooks with different letters by their names.
Frankly, the whole "FauxNews" and "FakeNews" thing isn't really surprising. Fox News is just as biased as MSNBC, Matthews is to O'Reilly, as Hannity is to Olbermann, as Beck is to Maddow. They're both the same, just on different sides of the political spectrum, so I hope for your sake that you don't view MSNBC as a "real" source of news while criticizing "FauxNews".

said by knightmb:LOL, it's no surprise to me. Did anyone really think that 8 years of Bush could be undone in less than a year, less than 2 years? According to The Almighty One, it could. Or has everybody forgotten about the "promises" he made on the campaign trail about transparency, accountability, and responsibility?
What have we gotten? I doubt I need to go into details, as it's all been said in various places before.
said by knightmb:Plug-in McCain for Obama and you would have the same result I pretty much agree with this. McCain has since proven that he's a RINO (Republican in Name Only) by caving in and supporting Obama instead of standing up for what is right and leading the charge against ideas that threaten the democracy and unity of this nation.
said by knightmb:It always cracks me up that those that voted against Obama in the last election have higher (sometimes unrealistic) expectations than the very people that did vote for him. Hmm... I'm not sure about this, at least in my case. Due to various things (lack of experience, selection of advisers, foreign policy missteps, etc.) I've expected him to fail. So far it seems like we have Jimmy Carter Junior in office, so he's pretty much lived down to my expectations.

There's one big difference between Bush and Clinton: Bush went after Bin Laden. Clinton had the chance to kill him, and let him get away.
As far as I'm concerned, some of the blood that was shed on 9/11 is on Clinton's hands.

He has not even been President for 1 freakin year. Let me repeat that....not 1 freakin year.
The fact that some are already calling him a failure, etc....shows they have motives that reach far behind what he actually does.
It's comical....2 years in? Sure....not even 1 year? Could people show their bias any more?

Clinton went after him...and failed
Much like Bush
People want to give Bush credit for "trying" which is odd to me as a more calculated approach to Iraq's situation may have in fact netted Bin Laden
Instead, we went in guns blazing and screwed it all up from the start. |

2. You criticize "FauxNews" every chance you can in this thread.
Do you really expect anyone to buy that you didn't vote for this guy?
It doesn't matter if it hasn't been one year yet, we were promised change and transparency, and none of that has happened. Actually, I should say that we weren't promised anything, those who chose to "VOTE FOR CHANGE" were, thus they are the ones that are actually being shafted. He's no different than Bush & Co., sorry to say. As the saying goes; same shit, different day.

What I recall most is Clinton electing to not expend significant resources going after him after he tried to bring down the WTC the first time. We knew where he was, and could have killed him much quicker and easier than now.
But Clinton didn't have the balls to deal with him in that manner, much like Carter couldn't deal with hostage takers. So far it seems like Obama is shaping up to be from the same mold-- he seems to care more about getting the world to like us than doing the tasks of a man charged with acting in the best interests of the United States. We don't need to win popularity contests among the nations of the world, and we shouldn't have a president who acts as though we do.

1. I rush to fight stupidity.
2. Well no, I mocked them 3 times in this thread. Is that the best people have now? 3 times = Vote for Obama? Pass on the book detailing the exact number of times needed.
As for me not voting for Obama, I didn't. I wouldn't have the slightest problem saying otherwise. The fact that you are stuck on it tells me you have nothing else to say. It's a common attack online when people are faced with their idiotic arguments.
Again, you want to cry about Obama after less than 1 year tells me you have little to no actual interest in anything he has to do. You are the type who gets to work (if you work) and first thing first goes to some extreme blog and finds the bashing article of the day. You read how much Obama sucks and think to yourself, "Yea, that will teach him"
It's sad, It's pathetic, and it's why so many people are running away from both parties. |

Huh, really? Like throughout Bush's term not one republican blamed everything on Clinton? I mean 9/11 was all Clinton's fault I thought because Bush had only been in office such a short time that there was no way he was able to read memos put on his desk warning him about impending attacks against the US by terrorist groups? In fact wasn't Bush on vacation 90% of the time before 9/11? Obama goes on a weekend break with the family and that is huge news.
Heck republicans still preach about their savior Regan. The very President who laid out the ground work for economic collapse. Reaganomics the very notion of removing regulations and removing corporate taxes, it maybe a great idea in theory, but only if greed wasn't a motivating factor in corporate America.
I have no great love for Obama going back on what he campaigned for as a open government and transparency. This is going to hurt him bad in the next election as even many who believed in him will have trouble distinguishing him from policies made during the Bush administration that now that he as President is not willing to let go.
Then again I do not like two party systems at all, too much room for corruption, too much room for back room deals. Just the whole notion of a two party system plays out as they can just always blame the other side, while actually never doing or accomplishing much of anything. It's always the other party that is to blame.
As they say, how can you trust a senator who will spend 10's of millions running for a seat that pays $174k a year. Politicians spend more time in office looking for money for their next campaign rather then actually doing the job they were elected to do.
I guess I am just tired of watching politics ruin this country, all in the name of a buck, which is losing value every day. |
