Isn't it funny watching all the dumb self-proclaimed "liberals" defend Obama and bash Republicans?
Obama kept 80-90% of what Bush had in place (and even expanded on some Bush programs and policies).
He signed two extensions of the Patriot Act, signed NDAA into law (allows for indefinite detention of U.S. citizens without charges), assassinated an American citizen (George W. Bush didn't even do this), kept Guantanamo open (after promising to close it in his first year), still raids legal medical marijuana facilities (after saying he would stop this practice), tripled the number of troops in Afghanistan (which is apparently the same as "ending the war" to Obama supporters), kept Bush's guy running the federal reserve (Seriously...Bush's guy?), helped arm Mexican drug cartels (Operation Fast and Furious), mandated all citizens make a purchase from a for-profit company (rehashed REPUBLICAN idea from the early 90s).
To clarify: I have yet to meet two people that share the same definition for being politically "liberal" so I'm simply referring to people who call themselves this and defend Obama against the GOP (apparently without realizing that defending Obama is a de facto defense of George W. Bush in many cases).
@principled conservative......"So your only attack on Obama is that he's as bad as Bush? Wow, okay."
No. That's just the only one in this question. BTW, Bush wasn't conservative.......or either Obama isn't liberal. Which one is it?
@forget war........"Who are these phantom liberals?"
Well, one goes by the name "The Original Liberal"...........that's my favorite...lol
@pedro.........."If you really believe what you write then you should quit complaining and not only vote for Obama but contribute to his reelection campaign."
That makes no sense. WHY would I do that? If I didn't like it when Bush was doing it WHY would it be ok if Obama is doing the same thing?
Americans are strange.
@i like turtles......"Gee, I just heard today that Obama's approval rating is over 50% now. What was GW Bush's when he left office?"
Gee, I didn't know ONE POLL mattered that much. But if that (see, other people like him too...lol) is what you need to justify your continued support of Obama, so be it.
Americans can't be confused with the most informed people on the planet. So the fact 50% of them "approve" means nothing.
@zuma........"So you admit that Bush was a Failure,..but your Party continues to Obstruct and Sabotage..(fast and furious)"
"your party".........lol
I don't have a party. FK EM ALL.
@smoking joe......."What a load of chain email nonsense."
Good retort!!!!
lol............so weak.

No. It isn't funny. It's disgusting and depressing, because even those lefties who SHOULD BE smart enough to realize what a fraud that bastard is DON'T. It doesn't give me much hope for the future of the country.

The sheep that the incumbents admin & party claims to be for doesn't realize they are being used. The party is supported by wall street investors who wants government favor like trumka, imelt, george kaiser & warren buffet over others. They themselves are wall street investors some have engage in conflicting self interest in securing loans where their husband work or serve as management in the business or bank. Representative P. & W. The trial lawyers among them schemes the industry & ensure the need for their services & high wages.
The fund raisers they host are for & attracting top 1% - 10% with 50K-100K admission, dinner or other schemes.
Deciding to borrow & add a trillion or two more over what was borrowed the previous year after year does not reduce the debt nor is it a spending cut. Just because a person, group or state decides to borrow 1 trillion instead of 10 trillion does not equate to a spending cut, specially when income or revenue is below the additional debt added year after year. Instead of the deficit being at 5 or 4 trillion as promised, it is ever closer to 20 trillion in debt in just 4 years. The top 1%, 10%, 25%, 50%, or 90% don't even have a trillion combined.
How did subsidizing education lowered tuition, all it did is increased demand, increased administrative cost (paper work), teachers & unions wanting more pay for there are more students with more than half just wanting a piece of paper rather than work hard for the knowledge with the teachers & school admin passing the delinquents just to keep the grants, flowing in. Much like how the housing industry before it collapsed due to artificial demand.
How did food stamps lowered prices for everyone when all it does is bailout the food industries, farms & stores at retail instead of 25% below retail you can even buy gourmet with it? More food are grown, fished, canned, & preserve 100 to 1000 times more than 100, 500, or 1,000 years ago. With an abundance in supply food should be much cheaper for the world, but if that were to happen farmers wouldn't earn a living & government with less tax revenue from agriculture. Then why subsidies them to keep them from producing more so food prices will stay relatively high? Why are people arrested for growing too much vegetables & fruits in their backyard & giving away some? Does it cut in to the profits of farms & the food industries? Fresh beef fork fish or milk can't be sold fresh but processed, canned, & refrigerated. Before refrigeration or in much of the world, fresh is how meat & milk are distributed. Fresh unpasteurized Milk has been around 5,000 years & it did not wipe out human kind. Do people need a license to farm & a farming degree or certificate from college? Just as lemonade stands, Self taught professional level hair cutters since in their teens, hair braiders, & floral arrangement do. In the future shoe shine boys may be required to get a license & a college degree to under a medallion rule to professionalize the service with highly trained Unionized shoe shiners.

How was chevy volt or solar cheaper for everyone or all tax payers when both the manufacturers & buyers are being bribe to make & buy them? Did the unemployed or working poor afford & benefited in such luxuries or just the hollywood high & mighty celebs millionaires or .5 millionaires.
Keep borrowing & printing cheap money & see food, energy, electronics, housing, tuition, bus fares, all prices sky rocket. It's called Hyper inflation, that's why gasoline is at $4 rather than $2 a couple of years ago or $1.50 a decade & 2 years ago.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKdScVerrBU
Seeing that it's now a tax & spend government it more has to do with getting more taxes. 50% tax from a $1 a gallon of gasoline will get $0.50, 50% tax of $4 a gallon of gasoline will get $2. The same in Income, Sales, or Estate taxes. Higher value, price or wages means more taxes by amount can be collected.
Wind or Solar wouldn't Fly or take off cause it only produces less 1% or 3% of energy compared to conventional energy. You can get 10 times more from hydroelectric dams or nuclear energy. No matter how much bribes handed out to manufacturers & buyers in the form of subsidies at the cost of consumers, laborers, & small/big business. Wind & Solar will still be 10 times or more expensive than conventional energy.
The scheme of things are more towards fattening some people & their business's wallet whether it be in energy, health-care, agriculture or investment. There will be allot more for lease signs just as now than 4 years ago & still hasn't been replaced. Solyndra & other subsidized Companies seems more temporary at a huge tax payers cost.
Source(s): This is another way government robs from everybody, rich, middle class, & poor alike third world style. Collectors likes to give away other peoples money, to whom they favor, but not their own whether it be government or private. Nobody wants to work for free, but many want everything free. Hair cuts, cell phones, cosmetic surgery, homes, free non tax deductible minimum wage rate allowances, free fast food, free gourmet food, LCD Screens, etc. People spend their fortune to build, buy materials & supplies, grow, mine, make/work to provide necessary & unnecessary goods, services, & entertainment for consumers to indulge upon. - I Like TurtlesLv 79 years ago
Gee, I just heard today that Obama's approval rating is over 50% now. What was GW Bush's when he left office?
Every president carries forward programs of the previous administration. To say he has continued 80% is ludicrous and idiotic. And I love the way you ignore the do-nothing Republican Congress that has blocked every meaningful proposal that Obama has made.
