Why do you hate Obama?

[Genivaria]

He killed my family, stole my dog, and ate the last chocolate-chip cookie.

That monster!

[Ifreann]

I hate Obama because he won't enforce gravedigging laws.

[Serrenissima]

I don't hate him. He's certainly no worse than the guy before him.

He has no clue how economics work, and won't stand up against religious nutcases, but that's hardly new for an American politician.

One thing has been consistent with American presidents - regardless of party, the next one will always dig a bigger economic hole than the previous one.

[Vaticantopia]

We need another Ronald Reagan to pull us out of the hole Odumba left this country in.

Ronald Reagan put us in a hole.

WTF are you talking about? He was by far our best president.

[Grafulk Shayneshall]

He's smart, but incompetent.

[Vaticantopia]

He's smart, but incompetent.

Saying it like that makes you incompetent.

Reagan started your downward economic spiral by ramping up military spending.

Reagan had a plan (and it worked) to accelerate the bankruptcy of the Soviet Union. However, he made the mistake of believing his successors would curb his spending patterns, rather than continue and exacerbate them. Reagan's plan may ultimately bankrupt the USA - it will just be several decades after it got the Soviets.

It's not like Obama's doing anything to help.

And I'm guessing, unknown stranger on the internet, that you hold the secrets to economics.

Well, duh. Like I said, each successive president has continued the downward spiral.

It's no secret. Friedrich von Hayek was right, John Maynard Keynes was wrong. Current western society is barrelling down a Keynesian railroad track, but the bridge is out ahead.

Care to explain?

I liked Reagan because of his foreign policy and no-nonsense attitude.

[Norstal]

Socialized medicine is nothing more than mythology hand woven by a dreadful actor who kept in character the entire time of their presidency. Except when they needed Oliver North to take the brunt for their treason of dealing with Iran to fund death squads.

Abortion has been in place since the 1970s people need to get the fuck over it. Besides the US is not going to be some magical wonderland like Ireland which has a history of letting women die because they refuse to operate on them to save their lives (in fear of hurting the fetus).

I'd be so happy if we could bring the Irish laws over here.

You'd be for socialized medicine? Interesting.

You know there's a reason why they banned abortion. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Unemployment is decreasing and GDP is rising. I frankly want to keep it this way.

[Yegania]

I'm just going to file this entire thing under "wish I hadn't clicked it" and slowly back away.

Probably a good idea.

Like Iran-Contra.
Yay for arming someone who in all likelyhood you support war with....
And drug deals.
Gotta love them Contras.

[Intaglio]

Hate is too strong a word. I simply think there are things he could have done better or differently

[Galmarch]

I do not hate Obama, I like his work on health care.

[Vaticantopia]

Yeah, ¨healthcare¨.

Of course it is. Our economy is a giant house of cards with no solid foundation, though. We may save it from collapsing for decades, but eventually, like the Ponzi-scheme it essentially is, it will come crashing down hard.

[Farnhamia]

*** Warned for trolling ***

Political nicknames such as "Odumba" or "Obummer" or "Mittens" are not allowed.

[Uxupox]

I thought Obama had the magic wand to resolve everything ala Harry Potter. Turns out I was wrong.

That sounds religious. Religion has no place in a scientific field such as economics.

You are aware you are calling them a hypocrite right?

I mean after all they worship the labeling of religion as superstition.
