Gimme a break!

If we are to criticize our President, let's do so in a better way.
I realize that Obama is YOUR man, but you need to do some research.

Nor is it far right political hype. It is very real concerns that Americans need to take off their blinders and see the truth.

What does he mean by this-- that's the real question.

People say things everyday, if taken out of context, would have a very different meaning.


Intelligent criticism of the President is a good thing.

Other stuff just makes your criticism look other than intelligent.

Jermyn- HIS ACTIONS GIVE HIS WORDS MEANING. Read about Americorps, Public Allies and the GIVE legislation. Note that the word camp was removed from legislation and replaced by the word campus to alleviate resistance.

Consider the thoughts of his right hand man, Rahm Emanuel, who wrote, The Plan: Big Ideas for America. "It's time for a real Patriot Act that brings out the patriot in all of us. We propose universal civilian service for every young American. Under this plan, all Americans between the ages of 18 and 25 will be asked to serve their country by going through three months of basic training, civil defense preparation and community service."

Compare/contrast these ideas to the beginning of Hitler's Youth Brigade and Iran's basajis who live in every neighborhood and go to college at reduced rates for "serving" their country when called upon.

Obama has said WORDS HAVE MEANING. Indeed. "We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded." And so it has quietly begun.

Re: Obama the Dictator?

Don't worry ... JD's beginning to wake up ... he just doesn't want to admit he's been completely wrong about BHO on everything.

JD - words and actions mean everything ... especially with BHO.

Esther,
We are always one election away from taking a dictator out of office.

Hopefully the Republicans won't have another lame candidate running against BHO. Of course, at the rate BHO is going ... it could well be a landslide against him. He may even have Democratic Primary challengers and not last through the primary.

Good news is his approval rating is beginning to take a hit... More people like JD are finally starting to wake up from their honeymoon to see how terrible a choice BHO was.

Shoot, I would have rather had Bill Clinton back in the WH with Hillary as President rather than BHO.

Unofficially, I am watching Mike Pence. He's looking and acting extremely Presidential and has a good resume.

Re: Obama the Dictator?

Quote:
Do feel Obama is trying to make himself the dictator of America?
No, like was stated by someone else he is a liberal

Quote:
Do you really think that the car industry just had major problems as soon as he took office?
No, had them awhile, the economic decline started before he took office

Quote:
Do you really think the banks were now in a major crisis just as soon as he took office?
Same as above, irresponsible lending practices was the straw that broke the camel's back. The mortage industry has been doing that for years.

Quote:
Do you really think he wants his own army to be larger than the national guard to protect America?
He has his own army?

Quote:
Do you really think he wants gun and ammnition control because he is concerned for the American citizens?
Again, that is a liberal thing, not necessarily an Obama thing, it is his thing because it is a liberal thing. If Hillary won the primaries and the election she would be doing the same thing.
Quote:
Do you really believe he was telling the truth when he said he wanted more transparency while at the same time refusing to prove he is a legitimate American citizen?
No

Quote:
Are you beginning to have a certain amount of fear for your rights of your country?
Yes, but that fear started with the signing of the USA Patriot Act. It just getting a little bigger

Quote:
Did you know he is proposing a wealth redistribution program for the UN?
Yep. Global Poverty Act. We should take care of our own poor before funding the poor in Kenya, or wherever

Quote:
Do you believe he has control of the mass media?
No, I think the liberals control the mass media and they love him. Today anyhow.

Quote:
Do you really believe that he is not a muslim?
I believe he has muslim roots and background. Practicing? No. Personally his religion isn't something I care about unless he uses it to alter the nation.


Bottom line, I can't stand Obama. I think he is probably the worst president we have ever had. But I don't think he is the antichrist either.
