    Your last line is a little over the top.

    I think some stuff he's doing a pretty good job. I think ISIS is a shitty situation that we've gotten into because we didn't address Assad in Syria and because Iraq is ruled by assholes who don't include their minority voters.

    It sounded like he was a picking a fight to me. I'll shut the fuck up though, I can tell my emotions are done with the OT section.

    I don't think I can accurately give you a number off the top of my head. Just that it's more than 50% and that'd I'd still vote for him again knowing all I do now, over McCain/Palin and Romney/Ryan.

    FYI,

    Bush only deployed a few hundred special forces guys to Afghanistan initially. Was that a war?

    Just curious how you spin it.

    You have got to be kidding, right?

    What part of the fifty percent was wanting to arm what has become ISIS a year ago? What part is not standing up to Putin..how about his stance on any number of scandals that he has been involved with..dude..straight up, what is the positive? Give me three things he has done that are not controversial and have created a positive effect.

    The three things I would list, you would think are negatives. I believe your mind is already made up. But I'll keep playing along while the stress level is low at the moment.

    Affordable Care Act
    the new DADT policy being pushed for the armed services and marriage rights
    the Dream act

    I'm no Obama fan, but I agree with you on the last two.

    Too bad he can't find common ground with about half the people and instead chooses to push what he wants through king-like power he claims to have.

    I disagree. I think he's bending far more to the minority party than he should.

    Probably as real as the gas Assad used against the rebels.

    No, but I think war is war. The administration has already called it war.

    uh, what has he done to appear like bending?

    I never expected to see such a sorry excuse for a President. His complete disregard for the Constitution is appalling and it makes him a liar. Of course he proved he was a liar selling his affordable care act .

    The main problem is, he has time for more.

    Okay..I will disregard the qualifier " three things he has done that are not controversial and have created a positive effect."...hell, you did..

    DADT and The Dream Act are not new by any stretch, these ideas have been slowly progressing for two decades. what you give him credit for is stuffing it down the throat of congress and the american people. I find it to be a reasonable concept but take exception to the high handed and reckless means to bring it into law.

    ACA, hahahah If you have to count this as a positive, you have already lost all credibility.

    "The three things I would list, you would think are negatives. "

    Some people have fundamentally different views on certain subjects. I think taxes and public programs are mostly good. You may disagree. It's just part of who I am.
