These nations aren't playing for second place.


Does Obama think were all stupid? 

He must! Going overseas and pulling a little bow-wow, talking shit about America to get elected, pitting us agenst each other on healtcare issues that were an absolute joke, offering cash for clunkers for foreign car companies, saying he hated bailing out wall street 3 times in a row yet still doing it.

There is a reason Obama is not one bit worried. There is no problem with our Senate, there is no problems with the House, there is no problems with the Supreme Court. I think the problem is with OBAMA. He's the President, a president with no clear objective to ANYTHING. Shit at this point he could pick the smallest of things and just FINISH IT so that maybe some shred of credibility could be established. I mean what has he gotten done in office outside of just being present?

Something aint right here. It isnt everyone else. It isnt Bush, it isnt China, and it isnt Germany. Either Obama has a hidden agenda, or he just don't care.

He is going to slash all kinds of govenment projects, likley a bunch relating to our security and weapons programs which by the way are the REAL REASON America is not in second place. He is going to keep up this image that America is struggling and put a choke hold on money until likley a year before his election, then he will flood the market with his funny money so he can seem like a hero.

I mean WTF? We dont need a President who likes to brag about other countries. We dont need him telling us they are better than us! If we thought that was true, we would be living over there and not here!

Before Obama ran for office there was none of this bad moral about our economy. There was none of this doom and gloom. Obama ushered this idea in under his big "Change" campaign.

If you noticed I have not mentioned the word Democrat or Republican once until now. This is not about Democrats or Republicans. This is about Obama's inability to lead. He is living off scraps that Bush left him and really hasnt done anything besides being present to fill his suit. Well he has done a lot of finger pointing, but they must not have any mirrors in the White House because he's pointing it at everyone but himself.

Oh wait, there is on time he took the blame. He took the blame for not fully explaining the healthcare bill to Americans. He was present, but he just didnt lead. He could have gotten involved and used the power of the media to hammer out the details. Hell he had a Democratic super majority for a whole YEAR!

Some how I think Obama is trying to play the same game as when he was in Chicago. Just showing up isnt what this country needs. We need a leader. We need someone who inspires us and is genuine.

We need a Hero. A REAL ONE.

I hear Avarar pretty Anti-American. There is also a cartoon called Avatar. The kids are always watching that junk during the day. I have not seen it yet. I enjoy watching movies in my living room more than the theater. Something about not being able to pause the movie to take a leak, or rewind when something comes at me a little too fast. 

Getting back to Obama's SOTU, I recal a similar period of time back in the 80's when Reagan was in office. Back then it was Japan and how they had grown very advanced with technology. They also made a big deal out of the time kids spent in school there. I guess what I am trying to say is that some of Obama's tactics were strikingly similar. What confuses me is that he ripped off the old "Lost Decade" that was previously Japans and gave it to us. Gee thanks Obama! Where is he going with all this crap? Seems like he's got beefs with America. Seems like he is just trying to play it safe until his next election, letting everyone else fight while he sits back with amunity.

The only real question you have to ask yourself is what will he be like if relected? He has shown a great deal of arrogance and many times appeared to be intoxicated with fame and power. Massachusetts may have just been a pat on the ass to get back on the field and play ball, but I hope he soon realizes that the American people arent playing for second place either. If he dont shit or get off the pot, he may find his legs a little numb when running for re-election.

Lets see if he can figure out that Americans want some form of "base" universal health care coverage without strapping future generations with bills and fines. 
There are MANY diffrent ways to fund this, as most folks will still opt to pay a little more for better coverage. I dont think that people will complain if assesed a "Co-Pay" if and when they needed care or medication, but the amount should be VERY SMALL and NEVER MANDITORY regardless if you dont use it.

Lets see if he figures out that that taxing the HELL out of ritch people will only punish people with the means and talent from shining. Sure the ritch should pay a lot more in taxes than someone who is trying to live on less than 38,000 (really people are barely getting by if making only 38,000 a year) but punishing people for sucess is not very American. Instead let him tax imports and capital gains from bueiness sending money outside the USA. 

Lets see if he figures out that the only way to create more jobs is to level the playing field. Some how it does not make sence for an item made in China and shipped accross the sea to cost less than one made right here in America. Some of these other contries are capitalizing on near damn slave labor and very little tax for importing goods. When American manufaturing companies compete with forein nations that are given an advantage the outcome can only be what we have now. Time to level the playing field.

Lets see if he realizes chasing down the terrorist is not one that needs a bunch of troops, but more high tech ways of tracking them down and taking them out. When doing battle on the offencive its important to have clear cut objectives or we will waste away our most precious resource which is our men and women in the military. Go to war without a clear cut objective and soon we will be on the Defensive. 

Lets see if he realizes that it really IS better to detain war criminals and terrorist in another country than to have them tried here in the states. It will only smear the state to which the terrorist is tried, and likley lead to attacks to the area. Better to represent as a nation of one when it comes to these things, rather than individual states.

He still has time to turn things around. People dont want to see Obama fail. People just dont want to see Obama making the wrong choices. Big diffrence. 

I may just be a mechanic, and know nothing of politics but from my laymans view he seems to be coming in a little low.

The movie isn't anti American.  It shows some of the good things people do, and some of the bad things corporations do.

Seems like he's got beefs with America. Seems like he is just trying to play it safe until his next election, letting everyone else fight while he sits back with amunity.

President Obama has burned up an awful lot of political capital trying to fix problems like healthcare and the economy.  Much more progress would be made if the Republicans were actually willing to work on some things instead of filibustering EVERYTHING.

The only real question you have to ask yourself is what will he be like if relected? He has shown a great deal of arrogance and many times appeared to be intoxicated with fame and power. Massachusetts may have just been a pat on the ass to get back on the field and play ball, but I hope he soon realizes that the American people arent playing for second place either. If he dont shit or get off the pot, he may find his legs a little numb when running for re-election.

I have yet to see any Republican who can mount any real challenge.   Time will tell I guess.

Lets see if he can figure out that Americans want some form of "base" universal health care coverage without strapping future generations with bills and fines. 
There are MANY diffrent ways to fund this, as most folks will still opt to pay a little more for better coverage. I dont think that people will complain if assesed a "Co-Pay" if and when they needed care or medication, but the amount should be VERY SMALL and NEVER MANDITORY regardless if you dont use it.

At least the Dems are working for something.  The Republican solution is just to let the free market do it's "magic" some more.  Problem is that's exactly why more people are losing coverage, and premiums for people who still have it are rising at more than 3 times the rate of general inflation.

Lets see if he figures out that that taxing the HELL out of ritch people will only punish people with the means and talent from shining. Sure the ritch should pay a lot more in taxes than someone who is trying to live on less than 38,000 (really people are barely getting by if making only 38,000 a year) but punishing people for sucess is not very American. Instead let him tax imports and capital gains from bueiness sending money outside the USA. 

Do you view yourself as one of these "Rich" people Obama wants to attack???  Odds are good Obama has already lowered taxes for people in your bracket Rex.

Lets see if he figures out that the only way to create more jobs is to level the playing field. Some how it does not make sence for an item made in China and shipped accross the sea to cost less than one made right here in America. Some of these other contries are capitalizing on near damn slave labor and very little tax for importing goods. When American manufaturing companies compete with forein nations that are given an advantage the outcome can only be what we have now. Time to level the playing field.

I agree completely on this Rex,  The Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush policies of unregulated free trade have been selling out the American worker.  We should walk away from GATT and the WTO.  I'm actually less concerned about NAFTA... At least the part with Canada because they are actually a good trading partner with high safety and environmental standards.  Mexico on the other hand is another story, but they are not nearly as big an offender as China.  Hopefully Obama will eventually change our trade policies.  I can guarantee he's much more likely to than any Republican.

Lets see if he realizes chasing down the terrorist is not one that needs a bunch of troops, but more high tech ways of tracking them down and taking them out. When doing battle on the offencive its important to have clear cut objectives or we will waste away our most precious resource which is our men and women in the military. Go to war without a clear cut objective and soon we will be on the Defensive. 

So you have higher hopes for him than you did for Bush?

Lets see if he realizes that it really IS better to detain war criminals and terrorist in another country than to have them tried here in the states. It will only smear the state to which the terrorist is tried, and likley lead to attacks to the area. Better to represent as a nation of one when it comes to these things, rather than individual states.

Then we should do it in D.C.  The idea that we can circumvent due- process through loopholes like trying them in a jurisdiction outside our borders only makes us look bad and fuels more anti-American sentiment around the globe.  The Constitution isn't there to make you feel safe and fuzzy Rex, it's there to guarantee that you are truly free.  When a president takes the oath of office, it isn't an oath to protect Rex Umney, it's an oath to uphold the Constitution, and if we succeed, then the result is that we are in fact, free.

He still has time to turn things around. People dont want to see Obama fail. People just dont want to see Obama making the wrong choices. Big diffrence. 

Actually there are many people who want to see him fail because they falsely believe that it means that they somehow win.  Problem is that actually we all loose.

I may just be a mechanic, and know nothing of politics but from my laymans view he seems to be coming in a little low. 

Don't worry, you don't know anything about fixing cars either :)

Thats not what I heard about the movie Avatar. But then again you are a Democrat liberal LWNJ.

LOL!! ROTFLOL!! The Democrats have had a majority for over a year guy! Get a grip already! If Obama was looking out for the people the bill would have been signed 6 months ago! He claimed he had it all figured out when running for President. Bottom line was the Democrats were trying to fuck the American people with a bill that looked more like a [Pay This Amoun --->] bill. 

I have yet to see any Republican who can mount any real challenge.   Time will tell I guess.

I think its quite clear with Brown Mass-acure that America is not going to buy one word out of Obama mouth come next election. If Obama tries to uses Bush's "Dont switch horses in the middle of a race" line, everyone is just going to see him for empty suit he may be.

At least the Dems are working for something.  The Republican solution is just to let the free market do it's "magic" some more.  Problem is that's exactly why more people are losing coverage, and premiums for people who still have it are rising at more than 3 times the rate of general inflation.

Its rising because of Obama. Of course the free market is going to panic when you have some crazy guy lying to everyone, trying to put them out of business.

Do you view yourself as one of these "Rich" people Obama wants to attack???  Odds are good Obama has already lowered taxes for people in your bracket Rex.

No I dont veiw myself as one of them "Rich" people, and if I ever did make it big in Business I would hope that it wasnt during the Obama Administration! What I consider rich has nothing to do with money.

I agree completely on this Rex,  The Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush policies of unregulated free trade have been selling out the American worker.  We should walk away from GATT and the WTO.  I'm actually less concerned about NAFTA...

Obama does not want to change our trade policies! He wants to polorize China and how well they are doing making only $4,100 per year. He wants America to envy a dictatorship that censors it's internet and underpays its workers. He wants to brag about a country that sets limits on the amount of kids you can have. Sometimes he sounds like such a fool. I hope Americans are smart enough to see thru his games. Seems like your catching on, but not fast enough.


So you have higher hopes for him than you did for Bush?

I dont have much hope for Obama. His whole "Hope" thing wasnt working on me. Bush on the other hand had a clear objective and delivered. Bush also gave your boy Obama a shit load of money to fix the problem. Lets hope it was enough because Obama sure as hell isn't making any moves.


Then we should do it in D.C.  The idea that we can circumvent due- process through loopholes like trying them in a jurisdiction outside our borders only makes us look bad and fuels more anti-American sentiment around the globe.  The Constitution isn't there to make you feel safe and fuzzy Rex, it's there to guarantee that you are truly free.  When a president takes the oath of office, it isn't an oath to protect Rex Umney, it's an oath to uphold the Constitution, and if we succeed, then the result is that we are in fact, free.

Give me a fucking break. Why is it you and Obama are so set on helping out war criminals that would rather kill you than look at you? Whats wrong with you boy!? Most of these people arent even citizens! Why should they be afforded the rights of Americans? No your totally wrong to bring these people on US soil and try them in US courts. We are free PowerStroker. The people you want to extend freedom to are they very people whom wish to take it away. Get off it already, you sound stupid. 

He still has time to turn things around. People dont want to see Obama fail. People just dont want to see Obama making the wrong choices. Big diffrence. 

Actually there are many people who want to see him fail because they falsely believe that it means that they somehow win.  Problem is that actually we all loose.

No you got it all wrong. They dont want to see Obama fail. They want his ass out of there. It will be Obama's actions, or should I say lack of action; that allow him to fail, not the talking heads.

Don't worry, you don't know anything about fixing cars either :) 

Has anyone ever told you that your just a big tool box? :)
