Voted for Obama twice. No regrets, but do have extreme disgust at the farce Congress has become. I believe Obama's been thwarted at every turn. The decision on Cuba indicates a change in things to come: he no longer seeks conciliation and will act with broad strokes. He truly has nothing to lose and will take the opportunity to be bold. |
His answer to the question about Cuba was a pile of stinking garbage. Cuba deliberately sent up two MiG planes and shot down two planes on a humanitarian mission (third got away). How he could say it was anything but was astonishing. Furthermore, his deal with Cuba will do nothing but prop up a brutal dictatorship. |
Does it bother you that he's acting outside the law? |
I did not vote for Obama and his presidency has proven that I made the correct decision.
I view Obama as a narcissist who cares little for the plight of others. He is arrogant and believes he is above the law. He entered office with no experience on governing, and he will leave office with little experience on governing - he has chosen not to learn how to work with the elected leaders of our country. It will take our country a very long time to recover from his disastrous presidency. I believe Bush is a compassionate person who really wanted to make things better for the American people. |
He's not torturing anyone. Torture is outside the law. Did that bother you? |
Voted for Obama twice. I'm still disappointed by his failure to capitalize on his first 2 years and his timidity in the early budget negotiations. But as I am criticizing "from the left," I certainly do not regret my votes: the alternative were (and still are) far worse. |
America was stronger , prouder and more optimistic under Bush. Obama seems to care more about the planet than America. That's the United Nations job , not the American presidents . Every other country has a president looking out for it first. Now we have the lowest rate of worker participation in history and we have fallen out of first place for the largest economy for the first time since Grant was president . We get our ambassadors murdered, we get threatened and back down from dictators, a new Cold War is starting and we weaken our military. Obama is a catastrophe. |
Don't know about prouder or stronger under Bush. I know several people, including myself, when traveling abroad would claim Canadian citizenship, if asked if they were American. |
Are you on crack? Bush, who drove our economy into the garbage can and started two wars? Can you honestly not remember all the way back to 2007? |
Yada, had a. Had a. Yes you are on your soapbox and failed reading comprehension. You never answered OPs question. You just wanted to hear yourself prattle. |
Probably Meth. |
Interesting points. |
in a world where "interesting" means "farcical right wing talking points." |
+1. America needs a cheerleader . Obama cannot bring himself to insist that we are a good country. Anybody who doesn't think America is the best country in history is a jerk. |
Yes, what this country needs now is... MORE JINGOISM. |
