Thread: "Obama is sort of God" - he's too good for you, me, the country, and even the world

I also happen to think that the hysteria over Obama was, and is, pretty ridiculous. Still, every day in this forum there's a sarcastic thread titled something along the lines of, "Obama's BRLLIANT Decision to Investigate (insert hot-button issue)!" Gun control, abortion, stem cell research, foreign policy, Iraq, etc, etc.

I mean, the horse isn't just dead from the beating...it's pulp. Sing a different tune already.

I hear he's not even American! Let's investigate.

To be fair, both presidential candidates were only American on a technicality, so neither side wanted to press the point too hard. Imo of course.

speaking as a third party guy, I think it's pretty balanced. I mean, for the last eight years it was all the democrats whining like little girls about bush, now the republicans are whining like little girls over obama.

I would encourage both sides to quit whining and go vote third party if you really want change

I guess I'll have to move to Texas where it's allowed

Third party would be a real option.... if it were a real option. Unfortunately the last candidate I saw who might have had a chance was Ross Perot ...... until the ninjas infiltrated his lawn.

might depend on where you are. quite a few elected officials in my locale are third party folks. Texas recently added the ability to vote straight ticket Libertarian on the electronic ballots.

It was a cryin' shame what happened to Perot. His party was infiltrated by Buchanan and his ilk. I honestly think if it hadn't been sabotaged by that jack ass, there would have been a viable third party, and Ross would have won the second time around.

Ooh, the admiral though, the admiral. I liked Perot as well.

Sorry, Stockdale had a hearing aid (from his time as a POW in North Viet Nam, a war GW and Clinton managed to skillfully avoid), and not much patience for politics. He was not a very polished public speaker, but I don't think he was any less able a leader than any of the presidents in my lifetime.


He certainly didn't have bats in his belfry. He was one of the most decorated Navy veterans in American history. He was a Medal of Honer recipient, as well. I think we could have (and in fact, did) have a lot worse men in the VP chair over the past two decades. I think he would have been a better President as well.
