Wow, the Left really turning on Obama

[JoeB131]

"rationalize your racism"? LMAO...so every nation in the world with closed borders who test for disease, literacy, sanity, criminal records are "rationalizing their racism"...LMFAO..

Rest of the world doesn't do the insane and impractical shit you want to do.

The US Mexico Border is about 2000 miles. so 2000 x 4 x 3 x $50,000. So it's 1.2 BILLION just to pay for the personnel. This is before you've build a fence, put these guys in vehicles, give them radios and night vision goggles and such.
Far less money than we give to israel...or the palestinians..or africa..every year.

Uh, no, not really. It would cost 49 Billion to have the kind of closed border you want. We give the Zionists less than 3 billion a year, most of which goes back into the economy paying for military hardware.

guy, didn't have a Mormon Boss. I wouldn't work for a Mormon if you paid me six figures.

Who was the guy who shit canned you for sucking? I thought he was the Mormon you hated so much.

And, no, you LIbertards aren't "anarchists". You just want all the benefits of a civilized society without any of the responsibility.

All benefit, no responsibility, sending your bills to other people. Um...that's you, Homey.

Extent of inequality in US greatly concerns me Fed Chair Yellen


Does anybody support this idiot anymore? I think 2 people in congress asked him to campaign in their state!!!

 

[JoeB131]

Who was the guy who shit canned you for sucking? I thought he was the Mormon you hated so much.

Actually, he was a business Republican who had nothing but contempt for religous nuts. He thought Romney would be a good President because he would fuck over "those union guys".

All benefit, no responsibility, sending your bills to other people. Um...that's you, Homey.

Uh, no. I pay my taxes, I serve in the military, I vote. And I paid for top of the line insurance when I worked, and they burned me when I got sick

Which means- just let the government run it because the private sector is too greedy.

Just to put it in perspective.

must be frustrating to not be able to express yourself with words and being forced to resort to political propaganda cartoons and pictures, rather than thinking for oneself.

No, you see, you have me confused with Vagasil, who never adds anything to a conversation.

I do a pretty good job of whipping your ass and exposing you as a crazy person.

But JoeBullshit, YOU are a biohazard, and here's the reason you are....

 

[Bfgrn]

You really don't understand economics...do you Joey? Here's how things work in the REAL world! Someone with capital decides that there is a profit to be made selling widgets. They hire a stiff like you to build the widget factory. They hire more stiffs like you to make the widgets themselves. They hire even more stiffs like you to market the widgets.

And only THEN...after giving multiple stiffs like you a working wage...do they "possibly" make a profit! That possibility of making a profit is the only thing that provides that job for you.

Guy, if Republicans "understood" economics, why do we have recessions every time they get into power?

The problem is, most capitalists don't understand the market, they hire people who do. They've turned investment into a big casino. and you get a guy like Mitt Romney who will fire a bunch of Americans because he's found a place where they'll lock up 120 Chinese babes behind barbed wire to a single bathroom, and he talks about how wonderful that is to a bunch of his fellow rich douchbags.

Oh, shit, one of the Wage Slaves had a camera!

[Judicial review]

Obama will be impeached very early next year. We won't need many democrats to come on board and hey! look they are already turning on him! Believe it or not we are making progress.

Who was the guy who shit canned you for sucking? I thought he was the Mormon you hated so much.

Actually, he was a business Republican who had nothing but contempt for religous nuts. He thought Romney would be a good President because he would fuck over "those union guys".

All benefit, no responsibility, sending your bills to other people. Um...that's you, Homey.

Uh, no. I pay my taxes, I serve in the military, I vote. And I paid for top of the line insurance when I worked, and they burned me when I got sick

Which means- just let the government run it because the private sector is too greedy.

You know what I find rather sad, Joey? That you naively think government is the answer to your getting "burned" in life. Do you have a fall back position ready when that doesn't work out? I ask that because any rational person who has dealt with the "government" quickly comes to the conclusion that if you want it to take twice as long and cost three times as much...you let the government do it!

Somehow you haven't come to that conclusion yet...I wonder what you're going to do when it dawns on you that people in government care more about themselves than they do about the average citizen?

I wanted the troops to leave. I said that. You are saying you wanted them to stay, but they couldn't becasue W didn't do Obama's job for him. You people are unreal.

Bush DID negotiate the SOFA before he left office

Exactly, years earlier. Obama was President when we left, how did he not revisit the agreement?

He DID revisit the agreement...

Unlike Bush, Obama would not sign a SOFA that would expose our sons and daughters to Iraqi tribunals...

So Obama got the same agreement as W, and you're criticizing W for not getting a better agreement, but you're OK with Obama not getting a better agreement. Doesn't the smell of your hypocrisy reek even to you?

Hello? Do you have a serious cognitive illness? You continue to be unable to follow along on even the most simple of facts. Why is that kaz??

I will try to make it as simple as possible for you...

a) Bush signed a SOFA that would expose our sons and daughters to Iraqi tribunals...

b) Obama WOULD NOT SIGN an agreement that expose our sons and daughters to Iraqi tribunals...

c) I applaud Obama for NOT signing...

The idea that one party is "better" or "different" than the other one...
you've been duped...

There is no question one party is better than the other. It just depends on who you are. There is an old axiom: the only people who vote Republican are either millionaires or suckers.

You and your ilk are the sucker class...

"Republicans approve of the American farmer, but they are willing to help him go broke. They stand four-square for the American home--but not for housing. They are strong for labor--but they are stronger for restricting labor's rights. They favor minimum wage--the smaller the minimum wage the better. They endorse educational opportunity for all--but they won't spend money for teachers or for schools. They approve of social security benefits-so much so that they took them away from almost a million people. They think modern medical care and hospitals are fine--for people who can afford them. They believe in international trade--so much so that they crippled our reciprocal trade program, and killed our International Wheat Agreement. They favor the admission of displaced persons--but only within shameful racial and religious limitations.They consider electrical power a great blessing--but only when the private power companies get their rake-off. They say TVA is wonderful--but we ought never to try it again. They condemn "cruelly high prices"--but fight to the death every effort to bring them down. They think American standard of living is a fine thing--so long as it doesn't spread to all the people. And they admire of Government of the United States so much that they would like to buy it."
President Harry S. Truman - October 13, 1948

You know what's amusing, Bfgrn? You actually buy the Obama story that he tried to get a new Status of Forces Agreement!

I believe the Obama administration tried to get a SOFA, but the main thrust came from the pentagon. I am vehemently opposed to sending in American forces unless they are PART of a coalition of MANY other nations.

I believe President Obama shares that view.


"And we must face the fact that the United States is neither omnipotent or omniscient - that we are only six percent of the world's population - that we cannot impose our will upon the other ninety-four percent of mankind - that we cannot right every wrong or reverse each adversity - and that therefore there cannot be an American solution to every world problem.”
President John F. Kennedy

And yet Kennedy tried to impose that will in Cuba and in Vietnam? Obviously JFK's "speeches" weren't something he was all that serious about?

So tell me how the present Progressive Administration has "helped" America's Middle Class, Bfgrn? The poor have been given more entitlements. The rich have used a Quantitative Easing fueled stock market bubble to get much richer. What has the Obama Administration done for the Middle Class that they constantly declare they are "fighting" for?

I don't know, that's never been my experience.

When I was in the Army, it was because I wanted to defend my country and look out for the troops in my charge when I was an NCO. Frankly, whenever I've dealt with government agencies, I've generally had good experiences.

If the Government takes "twice as long and costs three times as much", then why is Medicare so much more cost efficient than Private Insurance. Why does Medicare have a much higher user satisfaction rating than private insurance?

Every other industrialized democracy except ours has a Single Payer or Government sponsored universal health care.

The uniformly spend less, they uniformly have a higher life expectency an they uniformly have lower infant mortality rates.

What they don't have is Ed Hanaway getting Nine Figures to retire after he did shit like let Nataline Sarkisyan die by denying her a liver transplant her doctor's said she needed.

I don't consider this administration as very 'progressive'. It can only be labeled as more progressive that the corporatocracy/plutocracy platform of the GOP. But Genghis Khan was more progressive than today's GOP.

It was clear from the beginning that Obama was no JFK...progressives were shut out of the health care debate.
