I also find it ironic that the GOP of today always speak so highly of Reagan, as they'd have absolutely nothing to do with him today.

Remind me what Obama has done to fight terrorism exatcly?
Well first he placed emphasis on where the terrorists actually were (hint: Not Iraq) and has snuffed out top level terrorists ever since.
Making a phone call and keeping the EXACT same timelines and policies as Bush does not make Obama a warrior.
Nobody said they did. However somehow Obama seems to produce much better results than loser Bush. How could that possibly be?
Lets take a look at the list of fuckers Obama has snuffed out since taking office:
The list of senior terrorists killed during the Obama presidency is fairly extensive.
There’s Osama bin Laden, of course, killed in May.
Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) leader Anwar al-Awlaki as of today.
Earlier this month officials confirmed that al Qaeda’s chief of Pakistan operations, Abu Hafs al-Shahri, was killed in Waziristan, Pakistan.
In August, ‘Atiyah ‘Abd al-Rahman, the deputy leader of al Qaeda was killed.
In June, one of the group’s most dangerous commanders, Ilyas Kashmiri, was killed in Pakistan. In Yemen that same month, AQAP senior operatives Ammar al-Wa’ili, Abu Ali al-Harithi, and Ali Saleh Farhan were killed. In Somalia, Al-Qa’ida in East Africa (AQEA) senior leader Harun Fazul was killed.
Administration officials also herald the recent U.S./Pakistani joint arrest of Younis al-Mauritani in Quetta.
Going back to August 2009, Tehrik e-Taliban Pakistan leader Baitullah Mahsud was killed in Pakistan.
In September of that month, Jemayah Islamiya operational planner Noordin Muhammad Top was killed in Indonesia, and AQEA planner Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan was killed in Somalia.
Then in December 2009 in Pakistan, al Qaeda operational commanders Saleh al-Somali and ‘Abdallah Sa’id were killed.
In February 2010, in Pakistan, Taliban deputy and military commander Abdul Ghani Beradar was captured; Haqqani network commander Muhammad Haqqani was killed; and Lashkar-e Jhangvi leader Qari Zafar was killed.
In March 2010, al Qaeda operative Hussein al-Yemeni was killed in Pakistan, while senior Jemayah Islamiya operative Dulmatin - accused of being the mastermind behind the 2002 Bali bombings – was killed during a raid in Indonesia.
In April 2010, al Qaeda in Iraq leaders Abu Ayyub al-Masri and Abu Omar al-Baghdadi were killed.
In May, al Qaeda’s number three commander, Sheik Saeed al-Masri was killed.
In June 2010 in Pakistan, al Qaeda commander Hamza al-Jawfi was killed.

and when the only action he takes is inaction (as in changing the course Bush set) you celebrate him as a hero yet still revile Bush.
What course Bush took? What are you talking about? Bush had his head up his ass and didn't accomplish jack shit during his "War on terror." He started a civil war in Iraq, handed out no bid corporate contracts to all his pals at Haliburton and then stuck a cod piece down his pants for a propaganda photo shoot.
Give me an example of a policy that is solely Obama's, something that he planned and started fresh. Cause if you can't, you're just a cheerleader who refuses to see the failures of Carter II. There's a reason why even in this era, Regan is the most admired President and the token Democrat, Roosevelt, plays second fiddle to him.
Well I would say the Health Care bill, but the reality is that was actually a Republican idea in the 90's. Most republicans today are too stupid to know their own policy history and were fine calling it "Socialism" though. I always thought that was pretty funny. One of the best moments of the GOP debates thus far was all of those losers, especially Newt, getting called on it. That moment got little coverage unfortunately. Sneaky Obama stole that one!
Going after terrorists and killing them was also a Republican idea (or so they say), yet today they are total doves, opposed to the spending required and the human causalities. I guess Obama stole that one too...awe shucks.
Saving the economy (AKA "bailouts") was also a Republican idea, fine under Bush, but as soon as Obama took office it became "Socialism" again. Would you expect anything less from a super secret mulsim born in Kenya though? Of course he'd try to save the economy like boosh did!
Deficit spending was another Republican idea advocated and condoned for nearly 8 years, until Obama became President. Then deficit spending as a means to save the economy from going down the shitter was also...you guessed it, the dreaded "S" word. Darn you Obama!
But that's irrelevant. You can name any policy over the years and I can show you were the opposite side has proposed it in some shape or form. It doesn't mean they aren't original policies with variations/tweaks. Again it's like saying a car and house both have windows, therefore they are the same thing. Reagan and Daddy Bush both raised taxes to keep our fiscal house in order. I guess today we'd say that Obama was using their policies right? That it really wasn't his original idea? Would any republican ever say that? Or would they say he was simply a "Socialist" who hated capitalism? Get real.
The real problem isn't Obama however, it's the poor sports of the GOP. The juvenile hypocrisy and bed wetting by these fucking psychos who can't stand to have Obama as their president. All their core values over the last 8 years suddenly vanished once Obama won. Not surprisingly their zealots have followed suit and are just fine with adopting a "willful amnesia" stance in regards to their ideology (ie whatever they are told to think by Fox news.) Suddenly everybody is a born again fiscal conservative who doesn't think we should be in the Middle East. Give me a fucking break.

Almost 4 years. Holy shit, I keep thinking it's just been a year or so.
I know, me too.
#2405 Re: The Garden » Wall Street and Banks Soaring since 2009 » 757 weeks ago
I don't know what that proves other than how utterly stupid the Republicans are.
They claim that the Democrats are weak on terror, which was clearly (and continually) proven wrong by Obama.
They claim that Obama is a socialist who hates capitalism, yet corporate America sits on records profits into the trillions.

The review didn't come off as negative to me at all.

On a side note. Don't be a fucking tourist of life. enjoy the moment. far too many fucking people at these shows fixated on their damn phones and cameras for the entire show. live life, don't record it to view later.
I agree. While you're dicking around with that, your missing the moment. And this is not a moment to be missed.

I watched him my entire life since I was a kid. He surely was cantankerous and dry, very funny.
RIP Andy.

Seriously, what the fuck is it with the presidential candidates? Hermain Cain is a joke. Rick Perry seems to have taken Bill Maher's suggesting of doing shrooms a little too seriously. And Mitt Romney is forever doomed to second place, but will do a 180 at moments notice.
Worse than the 08 bunch. The problem is that they actually have some great candidates (Huntsman for example) but the GOP seem to prefer the crazies.
