KruelHouse Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 you are right the whole world i watching and laughing at us right now. how are we supposed to win a war we are in now when you give a prize for peace to a man in charge of it. kinda puts him in a bit of conflicting intrests.I see where you're coming from, however we must remember that he didn't START the war. Now that being established, bringing an end to the current campaigns would be noteworthy. So yes, he is in charge of the war however that's the hand that he was dealt when he was sworn in... How he plays said hand is what's critical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How he plays said hand is what's critical.So far he's been doing nothing. He got a request for 40K more troops but apparently he's been sitting on his thumb for 40 some days now refusing to make a decision while the troops we do have over there are twisting in the wind waiting on help to arrive.I'm guessing now that some idiots gave him a "Peace Prize" He may just give up and let them declare victory over us and bring our boys back home with their tail between their legs. It would look a bit contradictory for a Peace Prize winner to actually send the troops required to "Win" a war.... wouldnt it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jporter12 Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 yes just the same as every president before him. its the perks of the job. Yup! When something makes you unpopular, just blame it on the previous administration! I love this country amd all that it stands for. I just pray that we can get back to the principles that it was founded on. If you have to ask what principles I'm talking about, go read The Constitution!

jporter12 Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 Reagan was a movie star, a REAL movie star! We seem to have a long list of failures getting elected to the highest office in the country. What gives?errrr..... yeah, reagan was a movie star. he was elected on his policies.....HIS POLICIES not others. he did bring many countries together and if they didnt like him they feared him. If some one was looking into nuclear weapons they were cut off from any possiblity of getting them. if you messed with HiS country you ended up with a war head in your ass with 24 hours. Yeah, he was a movie star and a great leader............... last but not least, he took a economy worse (not by much) than what we have now and had the country booming. unlike someone else who has been in office less than a year and has spent more than all presidents combined. dont even put them in the same sentence....... its a insultI should have put that as 2 separate sections. One talking about Reagan, which even though he was a movie star years before he was president, was a great president, most surely the best one of in my 35 years!I still don't know where they are getting these "movie star" characters that they put up for the nomination for president. out of all the people in the US, these clowns are the best we can come up with?We armed liberals didn't start shooting people during the Bush term, you can man up and do what you're supposed to do: advocate, debate, protest, change minds, try to set yourselves up to win the next election. That's the whole point of the process.Theh process is a BIG part of the problem. Politics has become too much of a popularity contest. It's more about getting elected, and good intentions than about doing the right thing, and what the people that voted them into office want them to do.When you start threatening to kill my countrymen over such a disagreement, you negate the whole point of having a democracy (or a 'constitutionally-limited democratic republic'), and you alienate people with whom you might otherwise find some commonality of views. I'm sorry that you find the constitution so limiting. I find it liberating! The constitution does more to protect us from the government than limiting us.

One of my favorite quotes goes something like this: It's not about left or right, it's about right or wrong!You misunderstand my meaning. I was only referring to the correct term for our system of government. I don't find the constitution particularly 'limiting'. The term 'constitutionally-limited' is both valid and correct. Our form of government is constitutionally limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are exactly correct. No matter what the reasons for the war in the middle east, pulling our troops out before it is finished and stable will have dire consequences. If this happens, all those that have sacrificed their lives, will be for nothing. Obamo hasn't done much for the the war, but it is one of the biggest items on his plate. Hell, he has made a dozen or so trips overseas to try to get the olympics here but sits on his ass when asked for 40K more troops? I'm sorry but fuck the olympics at this point, there are more pressing matters at hand. This "award" and I use that term loosely, is based on him having the intentions to do something, not what he has done. He is cutting our nuclear arsenal in hopes for a nuclear free world? China, Russia will not follow. We will be defensless and screwed. Has he not looked at history? Talking with these countries does not work. What an idoit.

Ryan_c_F Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Regardless of how you feel about Obama, this demonstrates the huge collective sigh of relief of the world from the last administration. It was so bad that Obama could win this just on promises....and it's not the least bit worrisome for you that Obama is still being judged on the merits of NOT being Bush, while continuing literally all of Bush's programs and wars, even escalating Afghanistan?color me confused on the liberal mindset here, but aren't you guys heavily overlooking reality at this point? I should hope that you'd at least expect SOME progress from him, CONSIDERING THAT HE HAS AN UNSTOPPABLE SUPERMAJORITY in Congress and can pass literally anything he wants. I mean... How long do you people expect to be able to say, " well, at least Bush is out of office, amirite?" it's getting a little hollow these days.

Giantxtc Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 It is not for what he has done but for what he says he is going to do or attempt to do. For the most part this seems to be a bit of a joke to everyone else who has earned the prize. Pretty much the same as his office so far. A lot of hot air and no action.

I hope you're not serious there. Or if you are, you've found a different league for him to play in. Granted, I'm not a father or anything, but it's not fair to rob your child of the experience because of political views - IMHO, of course.
