Let's be honest here. Bush was the worst president by far if we look at the numbers.

I wasn't a fan of Clinton either but to seriously tell us with a straight face that Obama is worse than Bush really will require some evidence on your part.

It's hard to believe you're 46. Who did you vote for in 92 and 96?

You should just stop while youre ahead

About to open up a whole can o worms lol

NAFTA was the GOP's baby which Dems caved into in the interest of bipartisanship. You blame Clinton for that but give the GOP a pass?

nope. Clinton should never have signed it. the GOP should never have come up with it.

Obama is a republican. He has stood back and let the top 1% rape the everloving hell out of the bottom 99%, just like every other republican has done. Look at the inflation-adjusted changes to personal income for the bottom 99%.

I don't see it that way. Republicans are now required to get something done. They'll go after easy stuff like keystone pipeline and call it a jobs program. Then it will fall apart when we get close to next presidential cycle. The nut bags will destroy all progress to pander to the most conservative voters possible.
I want to predict nothing will be accomplished regarding campaign finance and i have a funny feeling some more shitty trade agreements will be signed.

That would be different than life under Democrats how exactly?

I hadn't had my second cup of coffee and was too slow to dodge.

But if you've read anything from me, you should know that I have no faith in either party. We're screwed regardless of who runs the puppet show in DC.

I guess you take your coffee...

I have to say that war under Obama is MASSIVELY less than that under bush by any reasonable measure. Less money, fewer troops committed, fewer casualties on both sides.

Additionally, there is smart debt and there is dumb debt. Running up debts during a depression is smart. Running up debts during an economic expansion is foolish. Sure the OP would probably post the same thing even if these things weren't the case, but there is a pretty huge distinction to be drawn.
lol
The moron's couplet:
1. Obama single-handedly fixed the American economy.
2. Debt under Obama is good debt because we're in a depression.

nothing like histrionics in the morning.

if the Republicans take the Senate today, it's going to be by a razor thin margin and they're probably going to lose it again in 2016 where all the swing state elections are going to put the Republicans on the defensive (pretty much the reverse of what's happening this year, plus election year turnout tends to favor Dems)

the ideal result today would be Republicans taking the Senate, Harry Reid getting voted out of the leadership, and end 2016 with brand new Senate leadership on both sides after McConnell loses his majority.
This. The only adaptation I'd make is "Republicans taking the Senate by a margin too narrow to claim any sort of mandate."

Jobs are going offshore because every president since nixon promoted free trade.

If clinton had refused to sign gatt and nafta, we would be a lot better off.
True - although let's not forget that the Pubbies supported those by even stronger margins than the Dems.

When it comes to free trade and destroying our manufacturing sector jobs, both parties are equally guilty.

Shortly after Nixon established relations with the chinese, production of hot wheels toys was moved to china.

Obama has done thing to fix the free trade issue or trade imbalance.

god willing Harry Reid gets voted out as party leader either way, though I don't really think it would happen if the Dems keep their majority.

I'm trying to think of a worse Senate Majority Leader in my lifetime and I'm drawing a blank.

Apparently you think it's my fault you never took Econ 101. It is pretty funny that you're trying to dispute something so obvious while calling others stupid.

Hindsight is 20/20.

The people wanted blood after 9/11. George Bush gave them what they wanted.

For some reason getting what you want is the republicans fault?

At some level people did want blood. We went into Afghanistan. Bush et. al. took advantage of that by fear mongering with Saddam thus draining resources from any legitimate action. There is no valid use of "hindsight" here.

Here's a huge part of what makes Obama the type of President no nation should have to endure. No nation should have an habitual liar for a President that is an out and out racist on top of it.

Celebrating Six Years of Broken Promises

Its funny that someone as dishonest as you has the balls to accuse anyone else of being a liar. Not to mention accusing Obama of racism, that is priceless coming from you, you and spidey should get together and compare notes on the best hoodmaking.

I certainly never took the Econ 101 that says we're in a depression. Look back at your school records; you are confusing Econ 101 with Remedial Political Expediency 001.

Haha of course. Yet again when confronted with inconvenient facts you declare that the person telling you that must be conspiring to trick you.

Anything to preserve the bubble I guess. It's always strange to watch someone actively reject knowledge.

Um, okay. If you want to pretend that we're in a depression and everyone not cognizant of that "inconvenient fact" is in a "bubble", I suppose that's between you and your therapist. Um, therapists.

I just need a JPEG of a goldfish telling his bowlmate about all the humans in the bowl.

In my back yard there sun and redwood trees. I'm starting to make friends with the crows who live high up in those trees. I am working on my fence. The squirrels eat the seeds that drop from my olive tree and beg for nuts at my back door. My Beloved is all around me and life is sweet.

On the other side of my fence is the world of machines marching to programmed orders, a great miasma of protoplasm slopping here and there like an amoeba.

It votes democratic and in two years regrets its choice, listening to the voices of unhappy fools, and so on back and forth, seeking the light where none is. The machine seeks to find perfection but that is only for the individual who evolves his or her consciousness. Nothing need change but attitude, because the world has always been perfect. You are the universe, so be the best 'you' you can. The universe is your reflection.

I don't need to convince myself of anything. You're the guy who is trying to forget the little, if any economics he ever knew. It's funny that you always think everyone is trying to trick you when you spend so much time trying to trick yourself.

It's also possible that you're trying to sneak in a lie that because the U.S. might not be considered to be in a depression today that it somehow has a bearing on Obama running up a lot of debt when we were. You always do need to account for your frequent dishonesty, after all.

time to get rid of the grievance mongering liberals and their selective indignation. Their lack of intellectual application and predatory outlook and attitude towards earner and achievers is anti American. It's not your fathers or mothers democrat party. It's no longer the party of blue collar earner and achievers and is now the party of Marxist / Leninist eco-KOOKS. "Under my plan, energy prices would naturally skyrocket" - Barrack Hussein Obama.

Truer words were seldom said in P&N


It's like Obamacare really.

http://kaiserhealthnews.org/022310-bill-comparison/

turns out Obamacare shared a lot of things in common with the 1993 Republican Bill proposed in response to Hillary Care.



P.S. Go vote everyone. Doesn't matter if I agree with you or not, everyone who is eligible to vote should.

You're saying Bush attacked a random country and killed as many as a million people just to make the craziest and most retarded Americans happy? And you're saying that like it's a good thing? This also created the Islamic State because Saddam's brutal dictatorship was the only thing keeping those people in line. Even worse is that they knew this at the time. The Bush administration was warned that creating a power vacuum would lead to a power vacuum (duh), but he didn't listen. Bush and Cheney should both be hung for treason. They knowingly did things against the interests of America and its citizens. They destroyed America's credibility. They gave power to Islamic extremists. They doubled the national debt.

The Republican party is still infested with traitors. Here's McCain having his picture taken with his Islamic State buddies:



This picture perfectly sums up the current Republican party:

lol Yeah - MY frequent dishonesty. From the guy who claims Obama's debt is smart debt because we're in a depression.
