Well, I guess you learn something new every day.

Me? I think the President should be criticized the most, but only about issues that matter.


No, not you. The person who asks the question.

I would rather wait hours for a bed than if I'm not insured have to pay an astronomical premium for it.

Tax cuts for the rich.


How does that make someone an idiot?

Invading whatever country happens to piss him off.


I can see this to an extent.

Letting Cheney screw with the Constitution.

Putting security before freedom.


Yeah maybe.

And I believe he flunked out of Yale. Or was that Harvard?


He actually got an MBA from Harvard.

But just because someone drops out of college doesn't make them an idiot

Depends on whether or not you have insurance. If you do, then the wait time is not that bad. If you don't then you get to go to the Emergency Room and wait along with the Illegal Immigrants.

So I gotta ask you, as a (I assume) Canadian, what do you think about America adopting Universal Healthcare?

I reason that the president of the United States of America is but one individual in the face of endless scrutiny; as anyone in such a position of power inevitably is. This president is having to make a lot of hard choices quick-like, and under circumstances of that kind, mistakes can be often made.

If you were to ask me, I would say that instead of having one person as the head of the country, there should be a small council. After all, one person can be misled, corrupt, and/or an idiot, but as the number of those sharing power increases, the odds of all being so decreases. >.>

...

Or, at least they wouldn't all be bought out by any one entity. : P

You sir, are ignorant.
When someone becomes the president and is debriefed on ALL OF THE ISSUES present in this nation, things change. He's no longer blubbering to America about a dream-like fantasy land. When he became president, he realized there's a lot more shit going on than the media knows, that's freaking obvious. To think that the Bush administration created all the problems facing this nation today is ignorant, but it also speaks to your character. You should think to make more educated statements when you're talking to the public, it doesn't look good for you.

Perhaps, doesn't stop you from being an entitled, narrow-minded asshole able only to view things from a single point-of-view, which is that the world exists solely to serve rich, white, Christians.



Really? Thats interesting because the way you say it, your view seems to be that of an entitled narrow minded asshole only able to view things from a single point of view that just so happens to be the polar opposite of mine. I guess in your opinion that makes me wrong? Gee, I wasn't aware that having an opinion that was different automatically made you wrong. Oh, and just for the the record, we also serve poor, non-caucasion, atheists too. Have a nice day

No Shit.
You have no idea what the fuck else is going on in the white house, THERE ARE SO MANY ISSUES THAT YOU AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO HANDLE. Don't expect Obama to flip the world around, especially within a few months of his inauguration. You're argument is just pathetic.
And Bush did fuck up a lot, what the hell is your point? There are plenty of bad presidents in this nation, but really, what are you trying to accomplish by reviewing that fact? Everyone knows that, and you're expecting IMMEDIATE change and IMMEDIATE results? That's fucking delusional, sir. Rethink before you speak!!!

Because Bush was a bad president.

Are you somehow under the impression that criticizing the Obama Administration is somehow endorsing the Bush Administration?
