I don't like Obama

MorganKrista-you seem to throw terms like 'idiot' very easily. People say BHO is soooo smart because he went to Hahvahd. W went there and to Yale too! Does that make hime twice as brilliant? Bush was at least smart enough to keep us from being attacked for 7 years.

I totally disagree with you when you say that anything is better than Bush. Kerry or algore would have been much worse.

The entire world right now is having economic trouble. Is Bush so smart to controls the entire world?

The best thing is for NATO to wrap it up. THE COLD WAR IS OVER BIDEN.

Hackney08001,

Skip the 25-cent psychological analysis and stick to logic, facts, and intellectual maturity. Example: Very conservative think tanks in the US have commented on the professional job that the Russian 58th army did in pushing Georgian forces out of Ossetia. No, I am not a fascist; I am a deeply conservative nationalist. By the way, I work 60 hours per week, so I may not respond quickly during the work week. I have to go to work now, to feed the welfare recipients. Nice day to you.

Hackney08001,

The term? War crimes or war atrocities. Like when the Royal Air Force (under Bomber Harris) fire-bombed defenseless, refugee-packed Dresden. Or, read about the actions of the British Army during the Sepoy Rebellion in India--militants strapped to the mouths of cannons, having their guts blown out.

MorganKrista- Bush failed on 9/11 or was it the failure of policy over the last 15 years? You Blame Bush because of your Bush Hatred Syndrom. But, the truth is that there is plenty of blame to pass around.  The largest amount of blame does not belaong to Bush, it does belong to the terrorists who hijacked planes and killed people.

Bush was smart enough to beat your candidates in elections. Does that make your guys idioter?

[Hackney08001]

Fine if as an American you feel so filled with guilt and self-loathing for your own countries actions that you don't like criticising other countries, but to congratulate the Russian army and militias for a 'professional job'??? in Georgia. You seem to be a deeply confused individual. An passionate anti-neocon with fascist tendencies who says 'ultra-liberal' a lot because actually arguing with facts is too hard.

[Hackney08001]

All right then brainiac. What term would you use for removing huge numbers of people from their homes they have lived in for generations at gunpoint, shooting the men, then bulldozing the whole village because they speak the wrong language or are from the wrong culture. Let me guess, you would prefer to refer to this as 'protecting our culture' or 'taking out the trash', or simply as you put it 'a professional job'.

[therealcaptobvious]

uh, YEAH!!!  As if Bush got 100% enthusiasm and support from the left. Puhleese...

[therealcaptobvious]

nk. not sold on Hil yet, but I'd much rather her be there.

[daddiosgarage]

is it my imagination or is hillary just a third wheel in this administration?

biden seems to take some delight in pushing her out of the way and launching himself into foreign affairs

[MorganKrista]

So giving unwanted back rubs to German women leaders is somehow not considered rude? LOL at the double standard. You need to get over having lost. I put up with Bush and Cheney for 8 years so all is fair in politics.
