I openly admit my mind was made up before he took office. That would be why I didn't vote for him, duh... Because I saw through the bullshit.

The housing bubble NEEDED to burst. I disapprove of how he's handled the aftermath. In all fairness, it wasn't all him - but he didn't change it, either, and he made it worse.

The automotive sector NEEDED upheaval. I completely disagree with how Obama and congress handled it.

Healthcare WAS broken before, ahs been for decades. He said he would fix it. His proposals thus far are a joke, and not even a funny one.

The stock market NEEDED to crash. WE NEEDED A RECESSION!!! The economy was artificially inflated, like the dot-com boom/bust, and it NEEDED to normalize. Our "leaders" have scrambled to look like they're doing something about it in order to keep approvals up, rather than letting the economy do what it needed to do. And Obama's actions so far are to trade the long-term strength of our economy for a short term "feel better" phase. Oh don't get me wrong - Billy and GW paved the way and did it too. The Great Mistake is merely fucking it up faster and worse than they did.

At war? So? WTF does that have to do with anything, really? The middle east situation was HORRIBLY mishandled by Clinton. Like, to an AMAZING degree. Bush II did what he did for better or for worse, but at least he DID something. Frankly, if we'd treated it as a war instead of pandering to the media and the UN fucktards, it would've been over fast and dirty. All that aside, it has dragged out for no reason, GW and his administration fucked it up, and Obama is taking what little good COULD come of it and fucking THAT up. You'll see. He'll pull us out, and shit will get FAR worse VERY quickly. Just watch, and remember this post in a few years when it hits the fan HARD.

Obama has spent more appointing Czars than some of his healthcare cuts would save. He is acting more "cowboy" and "my way or the highway" than GW ever did - and GW was roundly lambasted for just that. Obama is destroying our economy from the inside out, and doing it VERY, VERY well. He's taking the rights violations GW's folks committed against us and building on them he;s setting the stage for a socialist takeover of the U.S. government. The media supports this agenda, always has. And the American people are to pathetic to give a shit and to apathetic to do more than bitch about it if they did.

I'm making my pile and getting out. Ya'll have fun with what's left.

I'm not arguing that any of these things shouldn't have happened. This was simply the situation as it was when Obama was elected. But these are all things that have grave consequences for people. PEOPLE. Earthquakes happen as they should, tornados happen as they should, tsunamis, famines...they all happen. To say they shouldn't is a waste of breath. And when they do, one can throw up their hands and say it's simply what happens, and do nothing...or one can try one's best to help the people who've been devastated.


At war? So? WTF does that have to do with anything, really?

Now here we have the meat and potatos of this thread. Read this article published just before Obama was elected:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/03/07/AR2008030702846.html

Taking the country out of Iraq, and getting back to the serious police action in Afghanistan, and rooting out those murdering bastards, with the rest of Nato, the United Nations and the world beside you, is a return to sanity.

That war in Iraq is the focal point of all that was fucked up in your country in it's recent years. "WTF does that have to do with anything, really?" I'll tell you what. Fixing that is EVERYTHING. That alone will bring more goodwill and cooperation to your country in the decades to come than anything else he, or anyone could do.

The money saved is almost a secondary thought. The money brutally wasted, and the lives shattered is a frightening thought. To dismissively wave your hand at it like that would be shocking if I hadn't already read some of your other thoughts in other threads.

after the nobel peace prize was awarded to the muslim terrorist Yasser Arafat
in 1994 for not killing as many Israelis as he did in the previous years, then in 2007 Al Gore beat out Irena Sendler because a slide show on global warming is much more nobel than saving several thousand children from certain death in nazi concentration camps makes the nobel prize meaningless now.
next week obama will personaly cure caner

Admit it, you're just pissed cuz they didn't give it to your tv hero. I would have picked Al over Yasser too.
