Re: Barack Obama
I don't live in Texas, so perhaps someone who does or has can elaborate on this... I've heard that, due to the way the TX state government is set up, the governor has less power than governors in most states. In fact, the leutenant gov actually has more power and influence than the governor. I'm not making any judgements on the relative experience gained by being TX gov as opposed to a first term senator. Only pointing out that being gov of TX may not provide the same experience as being gov of many other states.

Uh huh. When all else fails, blame Clinton. I hate to be the one to break this to you but Dubya earned the title of "Worst President Ever" all on his own - well, maybe with the help of Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfield.

No Obama has no history of surrounding himself with shady characters at all...

Re: Barack Obama
It is apparent that few people realilze how crappy our economy was under Carter -- double-digit unemployment and inflation. Bush's record is not close to achieving that standard of ineptness.

Re: Barack Obama
Barack Hussein Obama has plenty of skeletons in his closet...
There's plenty of dirt...and you've got to shed light on it if he's going to be president of the United States of America. Some people are squeaky clean and there's nothing to expose and people have to reach and make things up. Others are not so fortunate.

Re: Barack Obama
i think if you keep using his middle name, that one might catch on too
do you honestly believe that the clintons left a single stone unturned during the demo primary?

Re: Barack Obama
I don't see Obama appointing any of these people in his administration, but nice of crimson_blood to post pics of the people he has denounced repeatedly when referencing who will make up his cabinet. The Bush Administration on the other hand...
Rezko is a sleaze ball...there's no denying that. He's given more money to both republicans and democrats than I could ever imagine. He even co-hosted a multi-million dollar fundraiser for Dubya back in 2003...

Do tell...since you seem to be so privy to the details of his life.
Re: Barack Obama
I just have to ask, after Bush leaves office who will you conservatives blame everything on? I will also say Bush is the worst president since Carter who was the worst president since Ike.
Re: Barack Obama
We can debate this issue forever, but my statement about clinton is from first hand experience in his foriegn policy. If anyone who was in a combat arms unit in the military knows the shame that he brought on this country and his distain for the military. How many times was an American vessel or building attacked under his watch? How many times did the military respond? The first attacks on the world trade center garnered nothing. We went to Bosnia as peacekeepers but he kept our hands tied with his rules of engagement. He gets impeached in the House of representives and sends tomahawks to iraq. He also sent them to Iraq on July 93 and September 96. All without one US Soldiers foot on the ground. He has osama in sights for an air strike but lets pakistan know ahead of time and the collateral damage that killing osama would cause is too much so its called off. He pimped the whitehouse out to the chinese. He pardoned known felons that were terriorest against America. How many times after 9/11 have we been attacked under Bush? Do you even know who we are fighting in Iraq? Its not the Iraqies, yes its.... al quida. What do you know, he took the fight to some God forsaken country and spared many civilian lives so our military can take care of business on their turf. Do you think President Bush has anything to do with the price of oil? How on earth can he ask the countries who have it to make more when we refuse to increase production over here because some species of turtle might die? I served my country proud and I served under clintons full 8 years and Bushs first 4. There is night and day between them when it comes to leadership. Does Bush have his faults? Yes, but his faults are not going to effect this country for years to come like clintons are.

Re: Barack Obama
While I was only of this world for little more than a year of Ike's presidency, from what I've heard about the guy, I kinda liked Ike, myself.
Re: Barack Obama
Actually, he bears a striking resemblance to Rick Perry.
That's about right. For example, this guy could handle being governor of Texas

Re: Barack Obama
He was Barack's neighbor, literally lived right next door. Got some sweet subsidized housing contracts while Obama was in the Illinois legislature, too, which I'm sure is a coincidence.
Re: Barack Obama
FWIW, this thread was supposed to be about Obama, but some folks just can't help themselves. Thus I'm not surprised that it morphed into another anti-Bush thread. That's because a lot of the anti-Bush posts in this thread and many others are written by those members who repeatedly show an intense hatred for him, which is based on little more than those member's individual political persuasion. IOW his actions, regardless of what they may be, have no merit because these folks are going to vilify him regardless of what he does. He can do nothing right in their eyes while "their candidate" has no flaws and can do no wrong.
I've read this same old hate-mongering rhetoric from the same people day after day after day, and read it for so long I've grown to expect it from them.
Obama shows repeatedly that he has less economic, historic, domestic and foreign policy knowledge than any other previous candidate. IMO he is by far dumber than anyone else who has ever received their party's nomination. (I'd personally like to see a list of all the 57 states he says he's visited!)
