True enough but this is going to get some angry posts.
Thank you AnoleX for the introduction.
And let me guess Obama is going to come down from the clouds and resurrect this country…
No, but he and his supporters would try to slowly rebuild, rather tha four more years of looting.
And remove our need for oil in ten years or less. *sigh* *shakes head at silliness* If you honestly think that Obama won’t loot the same as everyone else, well…
O wow, did Obama really say that the USA won’t need oil anymore in 2018? Would you mind giving a source?
I appologize, I misspoke. He said he would remove the need for foreign oil in ten years.
“In his new commercial, Obama recited his now-familiar proposals for tax cuts for middle-class Americans, tougher regulation of the financial industry, an initiative to end America’s dependence on Mideast oil within 10 years and other steps, including “a responsible end to this war in Iraq so we stop spending billions each month rebuilding their country when we should be rebuilding ours.” That’s from the AP, Sep 17 01:33 PM US/Eastern

AP White House Correspondent.
The problem is, he hasn’t come up with a good drilling solution in order to make this happen. The market won’t support other sources of energy yet because no one has come up with a good way to make them profitable and desirable. Biden is out there spouting that Obama doesn’t want to touch coal reserves, Obama says he does, so we don’t know what to believe there.
Also, as far as not spending billions each month rebuilding a country when we should be rebuilding ours, that doesn’t match what he wants to do with his aid plan for Africa. To name one issue.
Then you still lie. I quote from your own post:
an initiative to end America’s dependence on MIDEAST oil within 10 years (capitals are mine)
Since when is the middle east the whole rest of the world?
It isn’t, but it’s the one everyone gets hung up on. No one in this fight, and I’m speaking about Obama as well, seems to realize that the Middle East is only the 3rd largest producer of imported oil, behind Mexico and Canada. Which brings up an interesting point: if the war were about oil, wouldn’t it make more sense to invade Canada?
Probably because we don’t want to make a similar mistake to people invading Russia. Too damn cold in the winter to keep a presence in. Yes, that is a joke. Yes, I realize it wasn’t good.
People invading Russia forgot that you should never get involved in a land war in Asia. It’s a classic blunder. Along with never going in against a Sicillian when DEATH IS ON THE LINE!
Was I right about the angry or what?
I won’t hold you not getting the movie reference against you
Princess Bride
BEST. MOVIE. EVAR.
I think I love you… In a purely platonic and flirty kind of way, I assure you.
Let us toast, with me from my glass and you from yours.
What in the WORLD can that be?
*looks* Where, I don’t see anything.
You’re about to get me on a roll. You wouldn’t like me when I’m on a roll
I can only quote about 99% of this movie, and I’ll do it, dammit! I’ll do it in a heartbeat!
My son loves that movie as do I. I wouldn’t mind but… I am off work and going home where I can have sex and dick around at other sites. I will catch up tomorrow.
hay a funny & light Hearted comment. whats this doing here?…
Umm.. damn didn’t nest in the right spot.. FAIL
Don’t forget Eddie Izzard and his reinactment of Napleon/Hitler:
Napoleon: I have a great idea! Lets invade Russia!
*invades*
*retreats*
Oh! It’s to cold It’s to cold It’s to cold!
Hitler: I have a better Idea! Let’s invade Russia!
*invades*
*retreats*
No! It’s the same idea! It’s the same idea!It’s the same idea!
(I’m totally paraphrasing here, I couldn’t find a decent source with the exact quote)
We tried to invade Canada once and got our asses handed to us.
So let’s BLAME CANADA!
*chants along*
It’s not even a real country, anyway.
IT’S ABOOT DEMOCRACY!
IT’S ABOOT FREEDOM OF SPEECH!
Hay 3ed times a charm
lol lets invade canada. well fuck up their mounties.
LIE,LIE,LIE!!! I win…
He mentioned something to the effect of this in his acceptance speech at the DNC. I think his was referring to Gore’s ten year plan, following it and such.
That’s Bernanke on the left and Paulson on the right, too, which just makes it all the more apropos.
This nation failed in January 2001 when that craphead took office.
I hate Bush and the capitalists on Wall Street just as much as the next guy, but I find this lol more depressing than funny.
Second that.
Third that.
But did you all hear that McCain has ghost writers sending in letters of support for his campaign? http://www.salon.com
Nah, that doesn’t really help, either.
This coming from a campaign that encouraged people to copypasta their provided statements of McCain praise to as many blogs as possible? I’m shocked I tell you, shocked.
That’s pretty much what I thought… too true to be funny.
Funny, but sadly sadly true, bye bye American dream
Bush really looks like he’s ready to cry.
Maybe it’s just a small burp.
or a contained yawn…
No, he’s just straining to hear what Uncle Dick is saying into his earpiece.
It’s because Cheney won’t be his myspace friend. It’s a very sad situation.
True.
So, so true.
The country won’t die, but it is headed for big changes. I’ve long held that to see this country’s future, you only have to look at France. They are a former superpower (the era of Louis XIV), they stubbornly refuse to accept relegation to a second-tier status, and they’re arrogant as all hell. My friends, that’s us, maybe 50 years from now. Hell, even the head of the American Intelligence Council is on record as saying we can expect to lose preeminence in the coming decades. Bush hastened the process, but it was inevitable anyway. All we can do now is manage it.
And first thing on that road, or any other road worth taking, is to lose the unilateral politics.
I really REALLY don’t hope you’ll end up like France, please, do EVERYTHING to make sure that won’t happen.
Well, I’m already not bathing on a regular basis and if I see any soldiers coming my way, I’ll surrender so I guess we are going to end up like France.
*headdesk headdesk*
Much better food and a leading member of the EU – that doesn’t sound too bad. Not to speak of Carla Bruni.
Very sad, but my first thought was “these guys would never admit that!”
I come to laugh, I think this is the first I’ve seen that’s like “Oh man, I may disagree but this is just a depressing picture.”
Not funny! Seriously! I’m here to laugh!
I agree with you TC.
The look on Bush’s face of recent tells all . The test of how great the USA is will be in the next few weeks and months – whether it can be of strong moral character and grasp the bull by the horns – or whether it will go along with the hornswogglers and snake oil salesmen .
I thought the Clintons killed it ?
dont let the liberals hear you say that. theyll call you a hypocrite and an idiot. the only bad person in the world is Bush. get with it
Could have been the Republican congress that was in power for more than a decade. Would you say almost two years is enough for the Democrat majority to be responsible? (If you do, then 8 years of Bush should be plenty for him to be responsible too.)
piman and the rest of you…..Who has run this country for the last 100 years or more? Democrats and Republicans….and things keep getting worse and what have you all been doing? voteing for one party or the other…gee and nothing seems to be getting better only worse over the years “‘if you continue to do what you’ve always done..dont you continue to get what you’ve always got” ?
Maybe if you stop looking at this process as a Race…Race for the whitehouse,race in congress,vice presidential race…..Its not a race, races are about betting on winners, I dont want to vote for a winner,I want to vote for who is BEST for my country,Iam not interested in what the media says,Im interested in what I find out for myself…untill we clean out the entrenched politicians and start putting real americans in office we continue to get the same .
Nice theory Ray, pity it’s a crock of sh*t. A hundred years ago the United
States wasn’t even really a world power, let alone a Super Power much less
THE Super Power.
Also, those real Americans you’re talking about? Half of them voted for Bush.
Twice.
jhuger sorry but my point must have went right over your head….Im not talking about super powers,HMMM…. no attention span I guess..the subject was who was running this country politically speaking, Dems and Repubs…not to be confused with “WORLD POWERS”..and in regards to real Americans,it appears your not one of them so if I was you I would just sink my head back in the sand and tell yourself that whenever you dont understand something just call it a crock of sh*t.
wanna provide resonings for America not ever being a superpower? was the cold war between the soviets and the french? whats it matter if americans voted bush in twice? its only gone bad because the democrats slandered him in the media. other than that- he has been a very decent president
Decent? There are a number of people, including a best-selling book, who want to prosecute the guy for murder. I don’t call that decent.
Read the comment you replied to, jhuger never claimed America never was a superpower.
Also — it’s not slander if it’s true. And it wasn’t just “the democrats” that “slandered” him.
Also — you must have an interesting definition of “decent.”
I haven’t been voting for anyone over there, because I’m not an American citizen. Even Americans aren’t voting for either of them for the most part, because of voter turnouts near 50%.
And your country hasn’t been getting worse for the last 100 years. Quality of life has a general trend of increasing over that time.
He was being sarcastic, obviously too subtle for you.
your mother’s hitting on me wasn’t too subtle last night. don’t be mad- i didnt treat her too badly
Oh no! I criticized W! I must think he’s the only person who ever did anything wrong!
Eight years of peace and prosperity and a budget surplus didn’t kill anything that I know of.
Ozzie….and who made China “Most favored trading nation” and when is the last time you bought something that wasnt made in China? and where does that money go ? oh to China one of our best allies,they really love us.now they dont only have the largest army in the world but now they can afford more sophiticated weapons then ever before…..Thanks to another winner of the race.
I am not worried about China. They didn’t put us into debt. We did that all on our own. That was Bush and the Congress with Bush. If anything China is the one giving us money right now.
The China troubles started with Nixon visiting Mao and normalizing trade with China in 1972. Don’t think Clinton was there …
Hence the saying, “Only Nixon could go to China.”
“SPOCK!”
Khaaaaaaaan!
Dude, your memory is warped. Nixon going to China was not the start of any problem. Unless, that is, that you are saying that we should have NO relationship with China at all? The problem started under Clinton. That being that he gave them Most Favored Nation Status and his administration allowed China to buy up billions of dollars worth of T-bills. If China wanted to really screw us, they could, in less than one day, by flooding the T-bill market. Bush wasn’t there for that, nor was Nixon, Reagan, Ford, or Bush Sr. That was only Clinton.
Dude, China was initially granted Most Favored Nation status in 1934. That was rescinded in 1951 during the cold war. Nixon granted a waiver in 1974 and MFN status was formally restored to China in 1980 – while Reagan was president. Clinton renewed it in 1998.
NO! It was Clinton! It MUST have been! Clinton BAD! Republicans GOOOOOOOOD! Must… make… facts… fit… my worldview!
Go read “Year of the Rat” to see what Clinton did with China.
Ha that’s funny because nothing but the Bush administration has ever done anything to ruin this nation! Ha!
Such narcissists we are…
Can’t really agree with you there, Mark. Reagan did plenty to deregulate the corporations, overturn the social safety nets, and preside over an unprecedented transfer of wealth to the richest 1%. The Bush gang may be the worst of the bunch, but they’re hardly the only ones.
Economy strong, jobless rates low, lots of people making lots of money….not sure where the problem is…
Froufrou….you gótta be kidding me. They just proposed the biggest rescue plan for Wall Street since the Great Depression over the backs of the tax-payer (let the public pay the big losses, let a couple of rich people keep the big , the mortgate crysis is gettings lots of people in trouble and you’re calling the economy stróng?
That should be: let the public pay the big losses, let a couple of rich people keep the big profits.
Reagan. I was going along with that line of thought.
Aaa dumb me, excuse et moi
Strong economy? Have you been watching (or reading) the news?
Refer to post a bit earlier. I was referring to the Reagan years.
Um…lol?
“dearly beloved we are gathered here today…” is said at weddings, not funerals. context fail.
I thought these were supposed to be funny, not make political quips?
Oh, Naive one !
Wanna buy some land in Louisiana ?
Louisiana still has land?
Passing of our nation, my grandma’s petunias! You can’t tell me that our nation has gone completely to hell when we’re all sitting here with the luxury of posting messages with our thousand dollar computers apparently not working so hard that we have no time off to do this sort of thing. I don’t think that our nation has died when we still can support a two party system and argue about whether a third party should be mixed in as well. Yes, the bailout is frightening but are any of the posters here actually going to go hungry, homeless or jobless because of it? Didn’t think so. Sorry, I get a little riled when people say that a country I love is dead.
not dead. Dying and just because nobody here goes hungry dosn’t mean others don’t.
Arguing on the Internet is like arguing with your pet rock.
The loss of a great nation will be due to socialization, loss of capitolism, and EVRYONE lossing sight of morals and integrity… nevermind sub prime lending.
Can’t wait till Obama enables EVERYONE to be a waste of life, get on welfare and food stamps, and default on loans!!
