Oh I think Durango03 did a pretty good job of that with the list above. Why don't you try and dispute some of that. Oh and by the way, I'm 40 years old and my Mother's dead. Who is your source for factual news? MSNBS with that nice little boy Rachel Maddow? Or perhaps you prefer Chris "tingles" Matthews? All I can say is I'm cleaning my guns and getting ready. You should be doing the same....
I cant see how this is even possible. Please explain?i'll prob lose my insurance from work from this bullshit, then have to pay out of pocket for health insurance for my family. so yes this is a tax on my family
LMFAO!!! Are you kidding me?? Not factual? EVERYTHING on that list IS INDEED FACT. Its inarguable. Everyone of those things DID happen. Its not opinion or speculation. He DID pass every law on that list. He DID fire the Inspector General who exposed his friends corruption. He DID blantatly disobey the wishes of the Supreme Court. He WAS held into contemp of Court Etc. Etc. Etc.. These are FACTS. No way around it. But from what Ive noticed, talking politics with my black friends, you simply dont want to believe that the black guy is able to do such harm. And thats cool, your simply falling into the ranks of the rest of the ignorant because you fail to accept the truth.Again not factual , one glimpse shows me this list in no where near accurate, just rhetoric from a blog. Im so sure i can name so many other "1st" like these for past few presidents.such as
Reagan/Bush era S&L scandal or Iran Contra all the way to the excessive vacationing by GW. More than any other president. Or the few days he went missing while Katrina killed people. O yeah allowing oil speculators control the oil markets to squeeze the life out of already struggling Americans. Patriot act anyone? War in Iraq (where did those wmd's go?)
And so he spent money trying to recoup America instead of wasted Billions on unproven wars. Bush did NOTHING while in office to help the people being hit the worse. Saved so many jobs. Where do i get my info??
LIFE
Im 3nd generation auto worked. Ford Motor Company (Local uaw 813 in Atlanta) i know what its like to have the "protection" of the union if you say they doint keep companies honest your full of ****. I watched as the Jobs disappeared. This was way before Obama, saw the housing bubble collapse, before Obama.
And out of all those things listed in that blog list above none of it even will generally apply to most reading these posts. Those who even believe in that list above are idiots to do so. Just another piece of propaganda put out to dissuade you from the fact he inherited a huge cluster **** and has to make tuff decisions to steer us back on path. The old saying it takes money to make money right? I dont need any show to tell me what to think i pick up books or look up things i dont understand to fully comprehend.
So you go ahead and get your guns ready. For what exactly again now? Because STILL mo one has anything factual to say, i can go dig up blog lists too.
This is why our political system is so weak our people have no real understanding of whats going on. You posted a blog of a billeted list from 1 source. these are not indeed factual statements. Show me a citation or a direct reference to each of the listed items. Just because one conservative took it upon himself to make a "list" does not mean it is factual. That like me saying hes Muslim and is secretly plotting to handover the US to Al-queda. Its SPECULATION of policy. You did not name any laws on that list. Just "speculation" as to why things happened.LMFAO!!! Are you kidding me?? Not factual? EVERYTHING on that list IS INDEED FACT. Its inarguable. Everyone of those things DID happen. Its not opinion or speculation. He DID pass every law on that list. He DID fire the Inspector General who exposed his friends corruption. He DID blantatly disobey the wishes of the Supreme Court. He WAS held into contemp of Court Etc. Etc. Etc.. These are FACTS. No way around it. But from what Ive noticed, talking politics with my black friends, you simply dont want to believe that the black guy is able to do such harm. And thats cool, your simply falling into the ranks of the rest of the ignorant because you fail to accept the truth.
LOL @ you BiggBoi!!! no factual... HAHAHA. Like your stance on bush tho, so glad its made up by "LIFE"... (as if the ones of us who ACTUALLY follow politics havent been "living" these last 4 years? Just admit your wrong, and walk away)
Btw, Comparing Bush to Obama probably isnt the best route to go with this one. Keep in mind the guy did leave office with somewhere around a 28% approval rating..
Oh, btw the government spent about 12k to send me to India last year too. Thanks for the trip brah.That is ironic considering Obama has that record now. Hell, he even takes his children out of school to go expore India at a cost of 5 billion dollars on MY dime.
