Can’t say that I disagree with that. McCain was about a damn joke.

Jesse Jackson would have beaten McCain. Once Ron Paul was moved out of the picture, the republicrats had no chance.

Thanks for the comments and for expressing your opinion. I kind of agree with some of it.

The reason Bush never complained about being tired is because he never did anything. He of all the preodents through history spen more time on vacation during his sojourn in office than he did working. He was a dilletante. He was someone who wanted and relished the perks but did not enjoy the actual work so he palmed it off the his minions. Cheney got the war and royally screwed it up if you don’t count the millions he made doing it. The Secretary of Defense did such a good job that he is now a wanted man all over the world. The first secretary of state lied to the UN and lived to regret it, the second was so used to lying that she wouldn’t know the truth if she fell over it. Oh yes, complain all you want abot the guy who now has to clean up the mess left by Bush. Even Hercules cleaning up the Stygian stables didn’t have such a back breaking job.

Trying to pretend that Bush was less of a traitor than Obama is like claiming Stalin was a lesser cutthroat than Lennin. Every one of them is a marxist.

Not only is Obama a lazy slacker who is spending millions of dollars entertaining and smoozing late into the night at the White House, but he is a confirmed narcissist with no real interest in the day to day work of being President.

And further more…

Great clip of bush there – you could always tell the military loved him (and in an unpopular war – son’t you think that says alot). but I greatly appreciate your point there – bush never whined. He never said he inherited 9/11 per se. Obama has whined enough for two terms already.

Not sure why you voted for him – could see it a million miles away. while i was not thrilled with the war (and frankly more the big spending) I also was tired of the islamic facism getting out of hand – and in a post 9/11 world I could see us taking certain actions (really does anybody really remember what it was like back then).

but I digress. you are very correct. this is a serious job – and they think they canjust get up there and say “hey I didin’t create this” (of which he did) – and then usher in his own crazy agenda like he making up the next Christmas play. This is America for pete’s sake – it is not your toy.

and then his snub of GB just shows how absoulutely ignorant he, and his bunch, really are.

Hey, I don’t believe everything I read on the interwebz (lol), but it does jibe with my recollection from many history classes many, many years ago…

At first the Europeans went to Africa to trade for gold, other metals, feathers, and ivory tusks. Soon it was discovered that many of the African Rulers would also sell their slaves who were taken to distant places and traded for other supplies. When colonies were settled in the Americas across the Atlantic Ocean they established trade routes with them as well. In 1532 AD, the first slave was taken directly from Africa to the Americas.

The Europeans brought the kings rifles, ammunition, and other goods. Then the African slaves were packed into big sailing ships. The ships took them to the Colonies of America and to the island nations of the Caribbean. They were traded for tobacco, cotton, sugar, and molasses. Then these items were taken to Europe and traded for the guns.

Through this system, called the Triangle Trade Route, perhaps 10–12 million people were sold into slavery. It lasted for three hundred years until many countries made it illegal to sell people. In the United States the country had to fight the Civil War (1860–1865 AD) for the slave trade to finally stop. To this day, because of the slave trade, you find millions of men and women of African decent all over North and South America.
