Regret Your Vote Yet?

[PoliticalChic]

What were the alternatives again?

Funny you should ask.

The alternative was a man of courage, a hero who shut down his business to help a colleague search for a missing child, a man with proven successful executive and business experience.
Just what the nation needed.....

Hard to believe any dolts voted for the windbag in the White House, huh?

Man, I guess I just didn't know McCain's history.

Of course that business experience would have been useless in government since they serve opposing interests.
Just what we'd need - an even wider DC revolving door.

So as always --- lesser of two evils. Gotta love "choice". Gotta love the illusion anyway, since that's as close as we ever get.

"Man, I guess I just didn't know McCain's history. "

So...you thought it was McCain running in '12?

Or was the last two years one of those 'lost weekends'?

Well, you weren't specific, and you did say:

Barack Obama wasn't vetted.

The media didn't do it's job.

(Apparently neither did the English teachers.)
So when you say "vetted" you speak of an investigation of the unknown, which would mean 2008. Which I'm pretty sure was John McCain and Jo Anne Worley.

But extra points for comedy here:

The unfolding of events since his election have proven the truth of the warnings that the rightwing gave early on.

Remember this warning?
"The Oval Office is no place for on the job training!"

You have a point; the media didn't do it is job [sic] making the point that Mittens with all of four years in a governor's mansion would have been the fourth most inexperiecned POTUS ever, for what that's worth. Having it both ways: Priceless.

But hey, at least they told us "Jeep was moving to China". Shouldn't be a total loss.

"Who Vetted Obama?"

[Pogo]

"Vetted"? Now you're back to 2008 again. In 2012 O'bama was the incumbent.

Who voted "Jeep moving to China"? Oh wait that's right -- everybody. Including most relevantly, the electorate of Ohio and his birth state of Michigan -- the two states where new Jeep jobs were disproving the glaring gaffe.

I think this thread is great.

There is concern that someone wasn't properly vetted in a recent presidential election and that someone is not named Palin.

The world is upside down.

"Ukraine: Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney were right about Russia
The Republicans have been warning us about Russia for years, and we've ignored them every time. They're the little boy who cried wolf. Except that it was a bear and, wouldn't ya know it, the damn thing was real.

First, Sarah Palin. In 2008, the Alaskan conservative warned that Putin was on the prowl. Quote: "After the Russian army invaded the nation of Georgia, Senator Obama's reaction was one of moral indecision and equivalence, the kind of response that would only encourage Russia's Putin to invade Ukraine next."

Wow. Mrs Palin not only got the country that Putin would threaten right, she also predicted the reason behind it. Obama's "indecision and equivalence" over Iran, Egypt and, most importantly, Syria, has probably encouraged Putin to believe that there would be next-to-no Western response to an attack on Ukraine."

[SmarterThanTheAverageBear]

Was the OP really expecting someone to post

"dammit, you're right, I shouldn't have voted Obama?"

It's quite obvious that many people ,who are not lunatics on message boards ,regret their vote by the fact that a lower percentage of people approve of him than voted for him.

So......do I detect a round-about way of saying you regret support of the failure in the Oval Office?

That would give Romney four years more executive experience in government than the beginner in the White House. I also suggest that Romney was the CEO of a large company for a lot of years and the E in CEO stands for Executive.

Not only was he lacking in any executive experience....but he has proven to be an ideologue with no real moral compass, as the following story reveals:

1. "Obama regrets golfing after Foley death

2. Washington (AFP) - US President Barack Obama now admits that his decision to play a vacation round of golf immediately after addressing the murder of US journalist James Foley by Islamic State, was a mistake.

3. ...he also admitted that sometimes his own performance in some of the more public rituals of the presidency was lacking.

4. "It's not something that always comes naturally to me."
Obama regrets golfing after Foley death - Yahoo News





Not the first such view of the empty suit....

5. "Obama Campaign: Vegas Fundraiser on Day After Benghazi Massacre was "Appropriate"

6. Once you have a grasp of this president's priorities, his team's responses to challenges like these are entirely predictable and expected.

7. GREGORY: “Was it inappropriate for him to go to a fundraiser the day after this attack now in retrospect knowing that it was a terrorist attack, inappropriate for him to engage in politics as usual?”

I don't regret anything. I didn't vote for either of those turds in that 2012 crap sandwich.

She confused you with the mention of "hero" I think. She made Mitt a hero for something or another.

Certainly I will help educate you!

"A number of readers recently have asked us to fact-check a story about Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. The story, currently circulating on email, Facebook, and blogs, says that Romney helped a colleague of his at Bain Capital locate his missing teenage daughter.

...her distraught father had no idea where she was. Romney took immediate action. He closed down the entire firm and asked all 30 partners and employees to fly to New York to help find Gay’s daughter. Romney set up a command center at the LaGuardia Marriott and hired a private detective firm to assist with the search. He established a toll-free number for tips, coordinating the effort with the NYPD, and went through his Rolodex and called everyone Bain did business with in New York and asked them to help find his friend’s missing daughter. Romney’s accountants at Price Waterhouse Cooper put up posters on street poles, while cashiers at a pharmacy owned by Bain put fliers in the bag of every shopper. Romney and the other Bain employees scoured every part of New York and talked with everyone they could – prostitutes, drug addicts – anyone.

.... we can verify the facts of the episode. In fact, we did so when this story came up during the 2008 presidential election season."

How does this make a person hero? You think because an obscenely rich business owner did the decent thing and closed his business for a day or two so fellow employees could help find the missing child of their fellow employee makes the owner a hero?

No don't regret my vote at all, either times...

1. So....we'll stipulate that you recognize that I can easily provide about a dozen specifics documenting Obama as a failure in each, domestic policy, and foreign policy.

a. Your continued support of such a failure can lead to only one conclusion about your.....limited abilities.


2. "Are you going to answer the question?"

Has you done so, you would see that the superior in a conversation asks the questions....the less so is the one who answers.
