Obama's Debate Against the GOP

[MuyLocoNC]

Do you realize how much he trying to give to students? He spoke of letting you pay 10% of your income each year to pay off the loan. If you do not pay it if in 20 years it is forgiven. How awesome is that.

I 2 years left to finish my degree. Just in time to get the fuck out before the republicans stop all govt regulations and let the corporations take over.

Well, that's just dandy tical. No one is debating his willingness to spend other people's money to bribe another person or group for their support. Unfortunately, the hidden cost is someone else's and your freedom. You're selling it cheaply.

Why not I say fuck old people they voted in Bush and agreed to all his bullshit. They got rich and fucked over the country leaving the bill for us to pick up.

See you've never even heard of this before, and shut it down with any debate at all. Just some typical remark that Obama is going to steal your money.

 

[hanimmal]

And you've got to be kidding, they had their bullshit bill ready to go in August, you remember the deadline? 6 months, Shirley you're not serious, Franken was ready to vote yes for anything they put in front of him... on DAY 1. They didn't need 6 days let alone 6 months.

Really? Are you sure? Why then with the 60 votes in place did it not just magically happen?

I mean if republicans are so lock step, that has to be the right way to do everything right?

No, I got my PhD in economics without ever taking that. It gives America the finger because it takes enormous wealth from the future and brings it into the present by sleight of hand. A trillion dollar deficit for each of the next ten years. Our economy would look like Bolivia if Obama were allowed to continue.

So with your PHD, are you going to really stand behind the American economy would somehow turn into Bolivia if Obama continues on the textbook moves he is doing with the budget? You may not like it, but you can at least understand why he is doing it, which means he is listening to the economists right?

Knowing what you should know, you realize what he is doing right? With govt spending until the recovery is solid enough so that he can cut back spending and try to line up the economy for a steady growth rate, until the next business cycle.

And knowing that, you really think that we will be Bolivia if we continue this path? We will somehow go from a 14trillion dollar GDP to 16.7billion GDP that Bolivia has?

I know you can't possibly believe this, and are just being rhetorical but you should live up to the PHD in economics you have earned, and not say such stupid shit, especially to people that are so obviously lost when it comes to understanding economics.

Because let's say for a minute that Obama should end all his initiatives today. What would the budget look like over the next ten years? It would still be pretty bleak wouldn't it?

Why not I say fuck old people

Really? Fuck old people? Take a look around you, sonny. Everything you see, from the computers you're typing on, to the airplanes that get you from coast to coast in five hours or less were designed and built by "Old People."

Take a look at really old people, people in their 80s. These are the people that fought for the freedoms you enjoy this very day.

If it weren't for "old people," you wouldn't be whining on this board about "old people."

Show a little respect for your elders ... what the hell, you might even learn a thing or two from them. On the other hand ... maybe not.

What's this crap about textbooks? You can find an economics textbook to support any crazy theory you like. Obama's slavish devotion to discredited Keynesian econ is not, I think, based even on his faith that it will work, but rather on his not caring. He wants to create a sharp move toward bigger government, he knows we can't pay for it, but he doesn't care. He sees a future in which the bogeymen corporations and rich will just have to say, "oh well, Obama outsmarted us and stuck us with the bill for all these social giveaways. Nothing we can do about it now, can't put the toothpaste back in the tube." THAT is his idea of being a transformative president. I, on the other hand, see Bolivia.

As of right now President Obama has my vote for 2012....who you voting for ??????

 

[bryant228]

Easy everyone. Everyone on the right raise your hand. Now everyone on the left raise your hand..........

Now give each other a high five and say wasssup?

This shit in politics has been going on for ever. Media is just now more readily available now more then ever with the internet. The last 3-4 years the left really pulled Bush through the mud. Some thing with CLinton before him. And, the something with Bush senior before. I will just point out that Bush senior has a pay as you go method that Clinton took over. We are all basically pawns at this point. I'm not going to say that everyone is politics are evil. There are some good folks there. But with the economy the way it is, people are going to get hyper sensitive to the tug of war our political system is feeling now.

When the economy starts making a rebound............. people will not give a shit again.

And maybe thats a good thing.

So is he going to cough up the birth certificate or not be on the ballot in the 6 - 10 states that are passing laws to require it?

There are rumors afoot in the land that indicate Hillary will challenge the mighty O for the Dem nomination.

This would be very entertaining.

I would put my money on Hill...she is a grownup.

ppl here still believe IllegalSmile has a PHD in economics... hahaha... and he continues down that path of bullshit...

someone with a PhD in stupidity would be smart enough to realize how CRAZY it is to think that Barack Obama would be allowed to be sworn in as president, with him not being a legal, natural-born citizen of the United States of America.

listen to this idiot: "his slavish devotion to keynesian economics is based, not on his faith on it working, but rather his not caring"...

this guy "has a PHD in economics" and he's jumping to psychological profiling, using base-less accusations and assumptions that any real psychological profiler would just laugh at.

i think obama was brilliant when he said that 80% of the stimulus bill was tax-cuts to the people and small businesses. that's stuff republicans stand in front of press conferences and tout as being the solution. yet when they get the bill, just cuz it's proposed by obama, they reject it...... he called out the bullshit and partisanship brilliantly...

it must have been pretty hard for the conservative crew around here to have watched the president reach out to the other side and respond so intelligently to their questions, after the best they've come up with during the last 20 years has been this:

I think you missed my point. The fact is the Republicans COULD NOT block anything at the time Franken took his seat (This is where I SHOULD comment on the fact they stole the election as you libs always claim about Bush, since my claim is 10 times more credible). It was the Democrats who were blocking it's passage by the PROGRESSIVES that have hijacked the party. The Repubs could have burned down the Capital and gone on wild shooting sprees and STILL COULDN'T effect the outcome. I keep stating that fact and you Libs keep gliding by this painfully obvious FACT.

Democrats were SOLEY responsible for holding up health care, not because it wasn't written, but because they recognized glaring affronts to the Constitution and the fact that over 70% of the public in every poll except for the NY Times and other Lib rag polls, didn't want it.

Them's the facts and they aren't debatable.

^^^ I don't think they gave a crap about the constitution, they were just in fear for their seats. It has always been the curse of the democrats that once they are in power, they circle the wagons and shoot in.

What has Obama done against the constiution? Why guys him impeached for what?

Were you not around with Bush wiped his ass with the constition? With the sarcasaly called Patriot Act? Or when he started a war in Iraq? Starting torturing prisoners? Or even open up his own little prison off seas?

He sent troops into Somalia, Pakistan and bombed Yemen for starters.

He expanded the unconstitutional Patriot Act that you rail against Bush for.

Obama continues the Bush policy on 'extraordinary rendition' while engaging in political theater when making a bunch of noise about Guantanamo Bay. However, he hasn't actually changed any of the policies or closed any facilities. The prison still exists and is still in use. Not to mention the countless secret prisons located elsewhere.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

Obama is just as immoral as Bush is. They're both thieves and murderers just the same as all the other bureaucrats with blood on their hands. Tyrants, the lot of them.

You cannot compare those 3 incidents to starting a war in Iraq. Which basically preludes those 2 besides Somalia. Which lets be honest is a larger "terrorist" state than Iraq.

Why isn't Guantanamo closed? Because Fox News had to tell everything the terrorists would magically disappear and reappear another day to attack if there were tried in the US.

 

[JangleGrow]

I thought it was a constitutional argument and all of those instances are in direct contradiction with the founding documents. The bottom line is that congress must declare war otherwise the conflict and military expenditure is illegal. It doesn't matter who orders it or for what reason.

Oh, and I forgot about the FOX news amendment. My bad.
