Well, we shall see, I predict you are wrong.

I predict 2014, the debt will be being substantially reduced, unemployment down, 1-2% at least, Obama-not-care repealed, if it even makes it thru the SC (doubtful).. there will have been a dramatic turnaround.

I'm going to stop looking backwards, and look forward.

Let me get it straight.. it was all the rage, it was encouraged and cheer-leaded to hope 3 years ago, with the Messiah coming into office.. and now that he has failed, You want me to lose my hope now? Hardly.

I know it stings, I actually feel sorry for all the folks who were hoodwinked by this snake oil vendor, I really do. I hate to sound arrogant, but I knew everything I needed to know about the guy within about 2 weeks of him being on the scene, way back when.

So,  I'll be damned if now that everyone has seen him, them, for what they are, if I am going to lose my hope for my future.

and ScottyInAtlanticCanada , maybe if you want to spam a thread with images and links, in bold, you can do it in another thread, I would surely appreciate it.

I didn't start this discussion for 'laffs' So please if you want to take part in a serious discussion, feel free, but stop spamming here please.

Doc doesn't need someone applauding every comment, I assure u , he can stand on his own two legs.

asking nicely

vell, V....true to form with ANYTHING on this site, all I'm met with is piss & vinnegar & a stonewalling cold front....don't let the facts get in the way of your arguments....{there iz NO spam here}.....keep on keeping on with your Tea Party delusion....pfo&d somewhere....we'd all be much relieved I'm sure

Show me some facts.

Show me some positive facts, directly attributed to this Admin. Aside from the killing of terrorists, which I give credit to our military and CIA for.

For the love of god.. please.

ScottyInAtlanticCanada ....this is vstyler's thread, and your nick suggests you're not even American so where's your relevance?

I don't [generally] comment on US politics....[it's a lost cause, anyway]  .... but I am obliged to keep an eye on contentious topics for the sanity of all.

The determinator of what comprises 'spam' is the responsibility of SD's site administrators and on first impression yours is sailing close to the wind.

no it's not

and thank you.

NO, i said i was.. 'Hopeless'.. remember

Here's some news, everyone.. isn't greedy, everyone, isn't lazy.

I know this, because I, am neither greedy or lazy.

Seth, almost sounds to me, that, with Barry on the way out... your.. looosing... hope??

Chin up lad

I also look forward to the election. I can't predict who'll win (I never thought Nixon could) but the way that Washington is going at the moment will certainly present some interesting dust ups before then. We have to give the freshman teabaggers sufficient time to really muck up the works for there to be more of a negative impact than they have already caused.

who's Barry?

Last name O.

Wrong again, John. Nowhere did I show preference for any party because I believe them all to be disgusting and corrupt.

As several people here know, I wouldn't vote for President Obama again.

He was hands off at all the wrong times, and was weak. He also was completely wrong in his handling of the Middle East.

I would rather be crucified while covered in honey over an ant hill than vote tea party. I cannot identify with them at all, nor can I stand what went on at their rallies.

Good night, mate. I'm old and need my sleep.

I have no, I repeat, no respect.. for Barrack Obama.

..and he has none for me.

Night Seth.

First is your right.

The second is unfair.  He does not know you.

Interestingly, there are FAR MORE people on this planet who are profoundly grateful that Obama is the Prez....and Bush is no longer.

Unfortunately for Obama...they are MOSTLY ineligible to vote for a Pres.

Anyone man who wants to take, in these proportions and redistribute, another mans wealth, to another man who has not earned it, in proper, has little or no respect for that man.

Any man who removes the word Creator, from the declaration of independence, disrespects and offends those who believe it should not be omitted.

I truly could go on and on, but in short, I couldn't feel any more disrespected by an American president.

Perception is reality.. or.. so they say.

That's what a 'tax' is.

I'm sure even Americans are required to pay taxes...and that Obama did NOT invent the process....

John...irrespective of whether you like him or not...or what he does - makes no difference to the fact he still does not know you.

I knew u would say that

There's taxes, and there's the overly redistributive practices of a socialist society... BIG difference...Huge.

I choose taxes.

No, he does not know me... then again, I didn't profess he did... You don't have to know someone personally to disrespect them.. Imo.

If I feel disrespected by someone, who may or may not know me.. then, afaiac, I am.

This is really neither here or there in the grand scheme of things, just a personal feeling of mine. Last I checked, I can disrespect a Pres. all I want to and not be persecuted for it.

Lord knows, George Bush was all but assassinated in the blogosphere, I don't see anyone complaining about that.

I think calling him Barry, which actually IS a nickname of his, is.. ok.

Beats 'Dubba Ya'

I'll make him a deal, withdraw Obamacare, take back all the intrusive left wing driven attacks on free enterprise, take back all the apology's for our nation,

be a true friend to Israel, read the declaration of independence verbatim and I'll stop calling him Barry.. there's a deal for him.

Maybe a reminder of "The Great Dixie Chicks Debacle" will cheer you up.

I've been sitting here pondering this and I can only come up with a few things, which you may or may not find encouraging:

1 - I believe we do have to credit him for keeping Pakistan out of the loop during the Osama project.  You've got to admit, that was a pretty ballsy decision, and personally I do believe it directly affected the results.  Granted, not a fact.

2 - As I mentioned before I also believe his choice to stay at arms length from Libya was prudent economically (and diplomatically). Granted, not a fact.

3 - I believe his interest in the repeal of "Don't Ask Don't Tell" is a positive thing.  I know, not a fact.

I've also been sitting here pondering past presidents trying to think of any positive facts I can directly attribute to them, and you know, I'm not coming up with much.  Seriously, I'm blank.  I guess my political memory is as short as anyone else.

Well, most former presidents didn't come riding in on a white horse, backed by Messianic fanfare either.

I cant think of anyone so heralded, that has failed, so badly.

He's done a few good things dont get me wrong, but mostly i am thinking in domestic policy terms that affect our everyday lives.

Night all.

Yes, you can feel it, but at best it will only be presumptuous on your part that you personally were targetted as you cannot have been if the person does not even know of your existence....
