Question:
Still Obama devotion?
2011-05-08 08:36:40 UTC
It's been 2+ years since "candidate" Obama convinced people his "Hope and Change" was going to be better for America than the "mistakes" of the Bush Administration.

So for 2 years....

Obama's unemployment rate remains at 9% (far above what he PROMISED we wouldn't see IF we passed his "Stimulus Plan" nonsense")
Terror attacks have NOT subsided with a "brother Muslim" (as Qudafi calls him) reaching out to Muslim states
Not only are we NOT out of Iraq, but Obama has a 3rd "war front" in Libya
Obama's spending has QUADRUPLED the Bush Deficit that Obama campaigned against
Obama STOLE GM and Chrysler ownership from 1st Position bond holders (forcing them to accept pennies on the dollar buyouts) and then GAVE ownership to the UAW
Obama's ties to ACORN were discovered, and ACORN's acts of fraud and illegality became public
Obama continues to favor his union donors with his attack on Boeing (who wants to locate to Carolina)
Obama the "constitutional scholar" has had his "Obamacare" ruled unconstitutional (twice)
Obama rammed through ObamaCare which EVERY review shows will explode the debt and weaken the quality of health care.

I can continue with a pretty lengthy litany of clear and obvious failures from the inexperienced Obama. Unlike 2008, Obama is no longer the "unknown". He has a measurable record (which stinks).

So the question is, WHY do people continue to defend him and are already talking about re-electing him? What causes this "devotion" for a man who has NOT done well at all?

Wow...way too much right wing radio, bro...way! All I know is that George Bush Sr. understood that Reagan economics was voodoo and never suggested busting unions or adopting anything like the policies of the current GOP/Teabag/Fox 'News' Axis. We all did okay when Bill Clinton was president. Bush the Younger was a stooge for the far right and got us into two wars with no natural stopping place using borrowed money. Had he allowed a war tax as was suggested at least these wars would have been paid for and the debt would be far less. Had his administration actually enforced the weak regulations that existed during his administration the banks wouldn't have failed requiring bailouts. Had Bush abided by the 'side deals' that Clinton wrote into the NAFTA trade deals a million jobs would have been saved from export. Eight years of far right economic, social and military nonsense to advantage the 5% that owns 95% of everything worth owning and disadvantage the 95% of us that work for wages hasn't done the American wage earner a bit of good. Barack is doing what needs to be done...if the reactionaries helped even a little bit we'd be over this recession sooner than later. So far, not so good! Who are these bums working for anyway? Barack is going to get my vote. When the GOP/Teabag/Fox 'News' party brings back the Eisenhower Republicans we'll talk!

You're a LYING POS:



"Obama's unemployment rate remains at 9% (far above what he PROMISED we wouldn't see IF we passed his "Stimulus Plan" nonsense") -- He didn't promise that; one of his advisors PREDICTED that the rate wouldn't go above 8% if the stimulus were passed, but they didn't understand how bad the recession really was at that time.





"Terror attacks have NOT subsided with a "brother Muslim" (as Qudafi calls him) reaching out to Muslim states" -- really? Name ONE successful attack.





"Not only are we NOT out of Iraq, but Obama has a 3rd "war front" in Libya" -- Obama is on schedule to get all the troops out by the end of the year, and we're just now a very small part of the NATO effort over Libya.



"Obama's spending has QUADRUPLED the Bush Deficit that Obama campaigned against" -- again, worst recession since the great depression, and that spending saved us from another depression.





"Obama STOLE GM and Chrysler ownership from 1st Position bond holders (forcing them to accept pennies on the dollar buyouts) and then GAVE ownership to the UAW" -- bond holders lose because that's how bankruptcy works. And the UAW got PARTIAL ownership in exchange for concessions.



"Obama's ties to ACORN were discovered, and ACORN's acts of fraud and illegality became public" Obama never worked for ACORN.



"Obama continues to favor his union donors with his attack on Boeing (who wants to locate to Carolina)" show me the "attacks", or STFU



"Obama the "constitutional scholar" has had his "Obamacare" ruled unconstitutional (twice)" -- and several other judges ruled it WAS Constitutional





Obama rammed through ObamaCare which EVERY review shows will explode the debt and weaken the quality of health care." -- Really? Voting is "ramming"? LOL



You've LIED in every one of your claims -- you're not credible.

Because the majority of people only vote with their emotions. For years it made me so frustrated because my mother in law always voted for the "best looking" man with the best personality. No matter what the platform or party, it was whoever spoke the best (or lied) or whoever was the most handsome. hahaha I really think a majority of people know little or nothing about what's really going on in Politics, and Obama has a fantastic personality and now he has the advantage of being the encumbent. Sad but true. Although our Intelligence would never have gotten binLaden without waterboarding, as 50% of information was acquired that way, Obama has now made it a crime to waterboard (which doesn't hurt them, only scares them) so our Intelligence under him will be only 50% of what it was under Bush. But Obama sure took ALL credit for finding and killing bin Laden. But I have to give Obama credit for it -- he could have put the whole issue on the back burner, but at least we have one less major terrorist in the world.

As Jimmy Fallon said:The unemployment rate went up last month for the first time since November. But on the bright side, I hear a senior management position just opened up at al-Qaida. LOL



As a Christian I believe we can trust in God, whoever gets elected though.

Terror attacks haven't subsided? That's strange, as there hasn't been a successful terrorist attack since 9/11.



We are leaving Iraq according to schedule, and Europe is handling most of the Libya war.



Stole GM? The company was bankrupt. No government intervention, GM doesnt exist.



ACORN isn't an evil terrorist organization trying to take over the world.



Union donors? You mean the American people!

Obama is Bush 2.0 minus the health care plan which no one wants.



Only extreme lefties and those ill informed still continue to defend him.



The election of 2010 was a sign that the majority don't approve of his or his congress (at the time's) job



People are not as stupid as the left wing media makes them. But idiots will still remain (on both sides)

Wow, the libs are hanging their hats on BO "getting Osama." What a joke! This past week there were more stories coming from this bumbling regime that I am now convinced that Osama's been dead for a while now. BO had nothing to do with killing bin Laden. Hell, look at the pictures coming from the "real-time" watching of the take down. BO is decked out in golf regalia looking confused. Are you telling me that BO knew this was going down and STILL played golf?



I guarantee that BO was kept out of the loop on this because those really in charge knew he would come up with some stupid reason to pass on killing Osama. "Ahh...Bill, turn the TelePromter on so I'll know what to say...thanks...Ahh...let me call Zardari...let me be clear...I don't want a hair on his head out of place...ahh...we're doing this by the book...ahh...the 'How the Left Deals With Terrorist' book." "Sorry Mr. Presimudent...they've already shot him, but look at it like this: you can do a press conference and take full credit for it. Your poll numbers are garbage, you can't possibly be re-elected by running on your handling of the economy...or anything else, so just go with it!"



"Ahh...ok...but let me be clear...he will be buried according to the tenets of Islam that I was raised with!"



"Yeah, whatever, you Muslim, America-hating Kenyan!"



That's how that went down, you leftist drones.

Lady Barstow has the typical Lib response "Well Bush did this...". It is clear that Obama will be one of the worst Presidents in history. He did however order the mission to kill UBL. At least now there is one thing in the pro column!

If there was enough room in the reply box, I could post a list five times larger about the Satan-worshipping Bush and Cheney... which is why I am glad they are both gone and we have a real human being in the White House now

Simple. He isn't really elected, votes are computer generated, deleted as soon as entered. that's why it's always a 49 : 51 % ratio. All governments are run by the Bilderberg's (NWO) who tell the current "president" what to do.



THE PRESIDENT DOESN'T NOR CAN HE DO ANYTHING.

Hey, what can I tell you?



Yeah, you forgot THE pro on the other side of your con list: He got bin Laden.

There just isn't enough room on one web page, is there? And, still they follow blindly, complacently...
2011-05-08 08:47:20 UTC
I can't find any reason to trust him... It's not like he killed Bin Laden all by himself!
2011-05-08 08:37:59 UTC
he went through with killing osama bin laden....i kinda like obama for that
