I find it funny that President Obama suddenly has complete confidence in General Petraeus after the Junior Senator Obama from Illinois had this to say to him in 2007:



Of course, that junior senator was planning to run for president as an anti-war candidate at that time.
 
Like they say "If you don't stand for something you'll fall for anything"
How weird of a person do you have to be if you don’t even believe what it is that you say you believe in.

All I have to say is many people thinks change comes overnight. How do you fix all the republicans mess in four years? Now people are blaming him for bp because he's not out there helping. Bush wouldn't have thought twice about coming to help let alone look at katrina he didn't come to see what was going on. Also I think he should punish banks and wall street. It's partially because of them why the economy is so bad. My state can't even make a budget due to people being so greedy. Now these are my opinion many people will disagree and some won't.

By not putting a Democrat in their place. They had 8 years to challenge Bush during his term & they just sat back watching. Then, when they hold the house, they act like they've got so much work to do.

And why should he punish the banks? He's the one who issued the bailout for them!

Lewis Black summed up Democrats perfectly.
"Republicans go, 'I've got a really bad idea!', & Democrats reply, 'And I can make it ****tier!"

"General, I think you're doing an awesome job despite the idiot who's making you do something so stupid and difficult. When I have something as stupid and difficult, I'll keep you in mind."

I don’t know what is worse, Bush derangement syndrome, white guilt, tingles up legs, media bias, Bush’s inferred responsibility for an act of God, Obama’s inaction towards a man made disaster, and on and on.

Just like the Carter Presidency gave us Regan, so shall Obama give us someone great.

You weren't even alive, lol. Reagan was awesome before he became President. Something about that job changes people. Obama and W.Bush the candidates were also considerably different than their presidential counterparts.

So, the Democrats sucked even more, right?

Nope, we're the one's that pay for all of the mistakes that the republican party make. We try to fix it but years of mess takes alot of cleaning to do. Look at katrina victims still alot to be done there. What about the war weapons of mass destruction was his answer to why we are there. Even up to this day none were found so now the soilder must pay with the cost of their lives.

I might be a Brit and thus have only a passing knowledge of the American political system, but I really don't understand a word mazdaman is saying.

Any chance you can translate this into something approaching sense for me?

All republican 's has done is tax the middle and lower class bush killed us with tax. My favorite president is clinton lots of us wished he could serve again.Now 8years of bushes bs Obama is here and people expect him to everything overnight. Also just because they have done nothing for you doesn't mean they haven't accomplished anything

Still waiting on a translation of this one, mazdaman.


I note that previous moderator input on your posting-style seems to have become almost completely ignored again too. You're making post after post of run-on gibberish, with the occasional upper case letter when you remember. I don't particularly want to visit your rap sheet again but I don't have any issues with doing so.

It was a answer to Mclaren.
 
It was AN answer to McLaren.

But I'd still like to see it in English. I have no idea what the "sentence" you posted means - it doesn't even scan in anything approaching the language I speak.

What is "the bias the republican's have done" (sic) and how are the Democrats "fixing" it? And, for that matter, how can bias be "done"?

Out of curiosity and off topic. Has my posts been ignored as well for run-on gibberish?

Your posts make sense and have punctuation. mazdaman's don't and don't - and this is far from the first time he's been told about it. Though it's starting to look like it might well be the last.

Ok Famine, stop picking on the poor guy's grammar.

You know, I must have missed the part where the AUP changed to allow people to type whatever random nonsense they want... And, curiously, the part where you had to enforce it and I didn't.

His English is well below the acceptable limit for someone from an English-speaking country and he has been told many times before about it. It is none of your business or concern. However, I am genuinely interested in finding out what he meant by what he typed - had he done so properly in the first place, none of this would have occurred which, fascinatingly validates the AUP.

Oh, I am sorry you can't be bothered to follow the AUP without constant reminders. You should be exempt, unlike every other member of the site and I should never bring it up again.

Katrina and Republicans - but it doesn't really tally with the original. I still don't get what "bias" the Republicans have "done".
 
Did Republicans get blamed for Katrina?


Can we just go ahead and say it already: George W. Bush likes eating babies and kittens.
