I didn't miss it...that's not what happened. He didn't treat them like children. And he didn't make anyone stand up and cheer for him. There is nothing wrong with giving his opinion that they made a bad decision.

Awww don't get upset. No need to infer I'm a kook. I realize you don't have anything to back up your statements but please try to keep it civil.

I did the same thing. Used to be a democrat...now no affiliation.

As for the rest of your post. I agree with you.

Honestly I think he was the best of the bunch in the last election but to quote Waiting: "it's like being the smartest kid with [a low IQ]".

I personally think that his heart is in the right place (as evidenced by how he seems to work on issues of moral importance even though the majority of the country don't want them) he has zippo zilch nada nix experience. In his speeches he just recites things that make people happy. Last night within the space of ten minutes he said "We are giving tax cuts to 95% of America" and "Our new insurance program will cost $100 billion to start but will pay off eventually" and "We will lower the deficit 1 trillion in the next year" and and and and and.

Basically, he made A LOT of promises. Lots of expensive plans (healthcare etc) that might pay off in twenty years, but will cost now (which is okay); apparent tax cuts, and spending freezes. This is like your dad saying to you: "we're gonna buy a new house, I'm gonna raise your allowance, and its not gonna cost us anything! Plus we're gonna lower our family debt!" It just doesn't add up. I just wish he would say, here are my programs. They're gonna cost a shit ton. Now pay taxes. Thats what Clinton did, and Clinton was by far and away the most fiscally responsible president.

Also, one of my good friends said this the other day:

"It seems the Republicans are great at coming up with stupid ideas and passing them ASAP, while the Democrats have great ideas but can't follow through to save their lives. Its like voting between getting nothing done in a hurry or getting everything done never."

Are you serious? You're praising Hitler and claiming the president is not intelligent all in the same post?

wow.

Hitler was a failed postcard painter. You seem to confuse him with Speer.

That was actually Himmler.

That was mostly Goebbels.

And that is two non sequuntur. Oh, and Hitler did not lead Germany out of the great depression, either, he worsened the inflation.

Just out of curiosity, did you get these gems of history knowledge from Fox news? It would at least explain where you got your amusing comparison of Hitler's and President Obama's intellectual capacities from. What goes around and all that.

That did it for me.... where is the handbasket

I said I wouldn't post again, but must make exception. Apparently you didn't read the earlier posts. Hitler in my mind was the son of Satan. I do not admire him, like him, or endorse his actions, but I am smart enough to know that he didn't get where he did by being stupid. Someone else even pointed out that Hitler wrote his book that outlined his path to power. He also was never acused of corruption, nor did he associate eith people who hated Germany like Ovama did with Jeremiah Wright. Obama cant outline a path to God, much less a path to help the American. You apparently lack the maturity to view a whole argument. I didn't use the first comparison, someone else implied that only totalitarian dictators get what they want done, which is only partially true. Many leaders like Ronald Reagan decreased government interference and did great things without being a dictator.
Since when did Harvard=intelligence? Bush went to Yale. How did that work out for you. I can only assume you are drastically immature if you can't see that. You clearly like to take things out of context, hence your quoting only parts of my statements. Harvard is a very liberal university and rarely has drop outs. In fact they had a huge pecentage of honor graduates a few years ago. Where's the honor in that? By the way, the average GPA requirements fit law school are less than most state medical schools. Besides what kind if scholar was Obama? Rhodes? Oxford?
As my father told my neighbor about his son. If he graduates Hatvard and become a teacher in Georgia, he won't get hiring preference, admiration for his degree, or a dime more in salary than the graduate of Valdosta State.
Grow up. I said I admire people who follow a hopeless cause. I am like Rhett Butler "Gone With the Wind". (this book is too far above your pay grade so don't read it, because you will think that is the way most people lived in the south)
Feel free to jump off the bridge, but just remember that you will have to force me off it because I won't go willingly. As Jesus said, what good is it for the blind to lead the blind?
BTW, please send me your tax money so I can get my stimulus. I want the others to spread the wealth without me having to work for it.

No, but lessons from the past can be a good guide for future expectations.

I assume you're talking to me. I don't know why you're afraid to actually respond to my post.

I'm immature because I can't see what? That Bush went to Yale? I never
called him an idiot.

I'm not going to call you immature but I'm sure someone would have no problem coming to that conclusion after reading your views.

I didn't take anything out of context. Feel free to show where I did. I know you won't though.

What are you even talking about? Do you reread what you write? Does it make sense to you?

Go on welfare then. You seem to think it's a great life.
