Why don't you post the quote from Obama where he called it a stupid war?Sure they do, but then the voters generally don't have a clue what's going on with their presidents. They expect them to be able to move mountains, and get disappointed every time.
So are you finally admitting that obama has been a disappointment?
No, not at all.
I was in Austria working when Obama got elected. I was asked what would change (the whole "hope" lark) and I said nothing would change. I understand US politics, I understand what the president can't do.
So my expectations weren't anything to start with. I would never have many expectations of any president at all.
Where Obama has done well is drawing back from the whole "war on terror" thing. Where he's done badly is to go into Libya, putting troops in Syria and all of that. A contradiction, he's done better than Bush. What more do you want?
At home he's changed the medial system slightly, it might go somewhere it needs to go, but doubtful, but it was a step in the right direction, even if it was mostly meaningless in reality.
Was Bush a disappointment for the right? No. He probably exceeded expectations for some.
Not only did he not get an AID to give him blow jobs, but he managed to make another global war to keep the allies together, like they were in the Cold War, he managed to make an excuse for higher military spending, he make an excuse for war, who doesn't like war? (Putin's popularity has gone through the roof AGAIN, like in the Crimea, Georgia and so on, every time he goes to war the Russian people love him).
What more could you want?
But people on the left see things differently.
I think you have your presidents mixed up, the aid blow job president was bubba clinton.
Bush made some mistakes, they all do. But there is a difference between mistakes and intentional actions done to harm the country. I truly believe that obama is the first US president who does not like this country, its history, its culture, its constitution, is freedoms, and what it stands for in the world.
I think you have your language mixed up. "not only did he not get an AID to give him blow jobs,"
I was referring to Clinton, I was saying Bush DIDN'T get blow jobs and that the right were happy about this.
Bush made some mistakes? Fuck me, he made too many, too frequently, on the important things. Like the DISASTER of a mission into Iraq.
Look at the mess the world is in because of that.
my mistake.
I agree that Iraq was a stupid mistake. But Bush did not do it on his own. Both parties authorized and funded that fiasco. The quotes from prominent democrats at the time have been posted many times. Both clintons said exactly the same things that Bush said based on the exact same flawed intel. So did the UN, EU, Saudi Arabia, Israel, UK, France, Germany, et al.
To put the blame solely on Bush is partisan stupidity and can only be done after ignoring history.
Obama knew what Bush didn't it appears
