Wow darizzle, you're awfully testy about this. Take a look at the CBO budget and debt projects. Take a look at Obama's own projections for the budget and debt. Both of them, even with Obama's overly optimistic assumptions of economic growth, project huge increases in debt and deficit. Bush was out of control with the spending. Obama's budget and debt makes Bush look like an economic conservative. Those projections are out to 8 years, which apparently for you, is when you can start to question a president. Learn the facts and stop resorting to personal attacks... then post.
That's known as an ad hominem attack. They're deployed when you run out of facts and logic eludes you. Thanks for admitting your well is dry.
All the reasons I dislike you have become a blur cause I cant remember every particular reason. Way too many.
List a few. For the record, I have nothing but fondness for you. The animus is completely on your side.
you just like to fuck with me too much...you always focus on the crumbs rather than the whole in ANY argument with me. I have to explain obvious stuff, stuff that I think you already know, but just act stupid on just to fuck with me. Its hard for me to hold a grudge since this is a frivolous place...but damn you try
Here's something to cheer you up, Maxie. http://www.winknews.com/news/local/43385017.html Henrietta Hughes still struggling By Nick Spinetto, WINK News Story Created: Apr 21, 2009 at 6:11 PM EDT Story Updated: Apr 21, 2009 at 6:59 PM EDT FORT MYERS, Fla. - Henrietta Hughes is still struggling to make ends meet. Unemployed and homeless, she caught national attention during President Obama's visit to Fort Myers when she asked for his help. After her plea, Hughes was given a free place to stay, but she still can't find a job and may soon find herself homeless again. From CNN to Fox to WINK News, her story was everywhere. Today though you'll find her at the Career Service Center in Fort Myers. "It's almost our second home," Henrietta said of her time at the center. She and her son Corey are taking computer classes. She hopes it gives them the edge to get a job. "We can start fresh," she said. However, her problem is that few industries are hiring. Since February she says they've been knocking on doors and applying for as many jobs as they can, but no luck. Adding to her worries the house she's living in for free, is only temporary. Representative Nick Thompson's wife, Chene, owns the home and is allowing Henrietta to live there until it sells. "Thank God for Mrs. Chene Thompson for allowing us to stay in her house," Henrietta said. If she has to move without having a job, Henrietta fears she'll be back at square one -- living in her truck. Though she hasn't had to pay rent, Henrietta says she hasn't saved much money either. Her bills are often more than her income. Now she's praying her story ends how she hoped it would. "Get a job and get on to do things that I decide to do," she said. Henrietta does have a job interview on Monday to do administrative work at a local hospital. She's hoping some of the computer skills she was learning help her get the job.
That doesn't cheer me up. People struggling make me sad. However, it's nice to see that she and her son are working hard to improve themselves and to find jobs. With those kind of attitudes, they'll eventually succeed.
That is kind of a bullshit answer Rizzle. You'll spend time finding evidence of someone else dropping 40 on Artest, but you won't back up a claim in politics? Example: I think Bill Clinton was a rotten president. Why: One reason of many, he passed NAFTA.
I come here for basketball, but yes, I will dabble on the political stuff. Im here for enjoyment and talking basketball is much more enjoyable than talking politics. Im sorry that I dont want to provide links to one of the most discussed topics the past couple of years...Im sure maxiep knows how to use google too I think Bush jr was a rotten president. Why: One reason of many, his global policies have made many more people around the world view the USA in a negative light, and as a bully. His actions have motivated people, who would otherwise not have been, to attack the USA with words or violence.
Well the "words" part isnt. Bush committing war crimes is great propaganda information to give young adults in hopes they will join a terrorist group. Shit, they dont even have to lie about Bush being a criminal to try to brainwash the young ones, because its true!
What you're saying is a common theme thrown around by many. Regardless of how you feel about Bush, do you think terrorists really needed any propaganda from our wars overseas to attack us? What was their motivation for 9/11? Were you fine when Clinton was president? I personally could care less how the rest of the world views us. Do we do everything right? Hell no. However, a good majority of the events we're involved make the world a better place. We spearhead and are involved in more humanitarian relief missions than anyone else in the world, and it isn't close.
The left wingers in Europe were winning elections on anti-american sentiment and rhetoric before Bush was president.
Exactly my point. Personally I didn't care for Bush, but not for the reasons talked about in this thread.
It's amazing when I ask people to substantiate precisely why they hated President Bush, and all I get are MoveOn.org bumper stickers. There are plenty of specific reasons to dislike his presidency, but there was so much vitriol directed toward him that people who hate him can't discuss him rationally.
We agree about Bush completely then, except for the War on Terror business. I was with Bush on Afghanistan, but Iraq was a gigantic, stupid mistake. barfo
Wow, so people don't think it's worth their time to placate you in a pointless online argument? I'm shocked.
