Weakest President in History?

[propertymanager]

Well, now the Socialist in Chief has promised not to nuke countries if they attack us with biological or chemical weapons!  What is wrong with this guy?

Well... Obama is smarter than all of us, so im sure he has something figured out.  Right..?

[robdedgar]

Well first we should nuke Iran and North Korea before he signs this treaty.

[redhawk]

There is nothing wrong with him,he and his staff are just incompetent. they have no knowledge of this sort of thing no background or experience in foreign affairs. Also the economy, jobs, health care, the national debt, etc.etc.

He will say and do exactly what he is told to do and say.
Perhaps long drawn out wars are more profitable than a nuke.

I have to agree with mike on this one...Ridiculous but *todays* version he seemed to have backpedaled on a couple of important issues..But I do not like what Im reading either way..

You guys are all nuts.  We have the atomic arsenal to kill mankind several times over.

It has long been part of the plan of every administration, Democratic and Republican, to reduce the world's total of nuclear weapons since they may WIPE OUT MANKIND.  Each administration has been looking at the big picture.

Obama has promised not to nuke any nation attacking us with biological or chemical weapons.  This is because any such attack is going to come from a rogue nation or terrorist group.

He doesn't want us, or the rest of the world, pulled into a nuclear holocaust because of a bunch of crazies.

Biological and chemical attacks have already happened--Saddam Hussein wiped out whole Kurdish villages with helicopter gas attacks.  Japanese religious fanatics attacked the Tokyo subways with sarin, killing and injuring people.  This was to further their warped political views.

Believe me, if it can happen in an orderly, regulated society like Japan, it can happen here.  Just reading these posts now and then, I see that we have more than enough home-grown extremists right here.  People who think that an atomic bomb response would be justified. 

That is crazy.  Thank God we have National leaders who subscribe to diplomacy and clear-headed moderation.

Oh, wait. Wasn't it you who claimed there were no weapons of mass destruction? Saddam did it to Iran, too, and it wasn't done with potato guns.

Yes, it was, but that's typical doublespeak for the socialists.  The ONLY thing that has kept the relative peace since WWII is the nuclear deterrent.  Obama is intent on destroying that and destabilizing the world.  He's an idiot if he thinks that announcing that we won't use nukes for chemical or biological attacks will improve world peace.  Let me rephrase - HE'S AN IDIOT!

He didn't have any weapons of mass destruction...I guess he used them all on the Kurds.  When we took his country from him we didn't find any.  He was telling the truth.

It was like if we think our wife is having an affair with Bill Smith.  We go over to Bill’s house and ask to look at his phone to see if your wife’s number is in it.  He says no you can’t see his phone.  So you knock him out and look at the phone anyway and you find that her number is not in there.  She was not cheating but there is no way to get your marriage back after that and you have been exposed as a jerk.

BINGO!!!

That LIAR Bush sent THOUSANDS of American kids to their GRAVES for a threat that did NOT exist.  And that TURD Rumsfeld denied Military leaders the manpower they KNEW they needed to CONTROL that Country post invasion......That lack of manpower directly lead to the DEATHS and disfigurement of thousands of Americans as arms stashes went unguarded and those scum bags set up road side bombs.

Then to put the cherry on top.....They set up a BULLSH*T trial for that raghead and HANG HIM....Which was the REAL reason we ever went there in the first place.....Pay back for "Daddy's" near assassination.

And the maniacs HERE are crying about OBAMA??????

Give me a freakin' break....

ANTI CHRIST?????  WEAKEST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY????

Yea on BOTH counts.....and He's alive and well in TEXAS!!!!!!

[christopher w]

I think it has been proven many times that there were no WMD's. That argument is dead. Jake is right. We have lost thousands of american lives because Bush was pissed off.

I have asked it many times and nobody ever gives a good answer. Why are you freaking blowhards so pissed off about healthcare and bail-outs but you just turn a blind eye to the billion dollars we are wasting in Iraq every day? Not to mention the lives that are lost.

Anyone? Anyone?

Chirp Chirp.

No one here but the crickets.

Everyone must be at their gun rallies or shopping at Sams Club to stock up on supplies for the end of the world that is coming...

[brockovich]

I agree we need to get out of Iraq. Should have long time ago and really should never have been there at all in the first place. Nonetheless I still hate the bailouts and socialized health care. This house of cards will come tumbling down. We have simply spent ourselves into oblivion. Even if you were to eliminate the DOD that is 650-670 Billion a year. We would still be running a trillion dollar deficit because of entitlement programs such as SS, medicare, medicaid, and other senseless social welfare programs. Not to mention the IRS, Dept of Ed and other bloated government entities. Everyone else needs to budget their money. Individuals, private businesses, local and state governments but the federal government gets a pass? Nonsense. Cut spending & entitlements. It will never happen and that is why we are on a path to consequences that will NOT be a pleasant ending.

You and Jake need to take off your cheerleading outfits.

How many times do I need to say it? I was NOT a bush fan, at all. And we follow that up with Obama because he can speak a little better. Come on... still zero substance or common sense to ANY of his policies. He is and idiot in disguise. No more than an actor delivering lines that other people feed him.

[christopher w]

I don't see me or Jake jumping around cheering for anyone. In fact please feel free to point out any post in which I have "cheered" for the President. What I see us doing is pointing out the fact that people sure do waste a lot of time complaining about some things but completely ignore others. Lets complain about "socialist" policies but not about the U.S. being the police force of the planet.

Another simple fact is that without the bail-outs we would be right back in the middle of another Great Depression. It is real easy to sit back now and say "we could have done  this instead" or "that was not needed". However at the time when everything was crumbling around us this administration and the very intelligent people that were appointed to run the country by this administration as well as the previous one stepped up to the plate and made some decisions. Were they the right one? Maybe? Maybe not? But I do know this...the economy is showing small signs of life. The Fed has stopped buying MBS and we are still closing loans. Fed-ex's business is up (my wife works for the company) which means business are shipping.

So for all the whackos out there screaming bloody murder please give the rest of us sane persons a break from the ridiculous rants that seem to come everytime the President shows his face or makes a statement. Find something constructive to do with your time. Volunteer in your community. Become a Big Brother or Big Sister. Just do something to make this world a better place instead of wasting our time with ridiculous rants and hijacked threads. If you are going to throw up the old " Just don't read what I post" adage then I will say this. Stop posting ridiculous crap in threads that were not started by you. I avoid ANYTHING started by certain people on this forum, but it is kind of hard to avoid when it is posted in a thread of a completely different nature and then hijacked by a ranter.

The bank bailouts were nothing more than a Ponzi scheme that just put off the inevitable. GM & Chrysler did NOT need saved and by refusing to pump taxpayer money into these entities would not have thrown us into a Great Depression.

The underlying issues within the economy are simply not good no matter how rosy you want to paint the picture. Is there pockets of success???... sure. But the fundamentals are not good or sustainable.
