Bush & Clinton Most Admired in America

[Obi-Ron]

I agree, since Iraq didn't have a damn thing to do with 9/11.

jag

Heh.

 

[PLAS]

I agree with all of this, and it's a classic example of why all the balls in the world where get you nowhere if you don't have some brains to back them up. I think we should also add in that:
Bush has taken the U.S. from a record surplus when he entered office to a record deficit (we owe China so much money it's sickening), abused the Presidential signing statement provisions to hell and back
ruined our educational system with his "No Child Allowed To Excel" program
shot down alternative energy proposals that would get us off of big oil right and left
allowed the stranglehold corporate lobbyists have on our government to become even worse especially with companies that engage in war-profiteering (Haliburton, anyone?) oil and the healthcare industries
destroyed our foreign relations with all but a handful of countries, and
encouraged hate mongering of homosexuals and immigrants in our own country.

He's ****ed this country up royally and anyone who thinks that he's a great or even a good President needs a full frontal lobotomy.

isn't it scary?

 

[cookiva]

It just goes to show that the Media makes Bush to be a worse off person than he really is.

What? Please explain before I

 

[Obi-Ron]

I'm still waiting to hear how he "ultimately made America a better place."

I'm going to post this from something that Leno said recently.......DON'T KILL ME, I'm posting it for the sake of discussion......AND THAT IS ALL....

Another teacher sent this to me.......I don't necessarily agree with what is said here, just putting it out there for discussion purposes...

"The other day I was reading Newsweek magazine and came across some poll data I found rather hard to believe. It must be true, given the source, right?

The Newsweek poll alleges that 67 percent of Americans are unhappy with the direction the country is headed, and 69 percent of the country is unhappy with the performance of the President. In essence, 2/3's of the citizenry just ain't happy and want a change.

So being the knuckle dragger I am, I started thinking, ''What are we so unhappy about?''* Is it that we have electricity and running water 24 hours a day, 7 days a week?

Is our unhappiness the result of having air conditioning in the summer and heating in the winter?

Could it be that 95.4 percent of these unhappy folks have a job?

Maybe it is the ability to walk into a grocery store at any time, and see more food in moments than Darfur has seen in the last year?

Maybe it is the ability to drive from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean without having to present identification papers as we move through each state?

Or possibly the hundreds of clean and safe motels we would find along the way that can provide temporary shelter?

I guess having thousands of restaurants with varying cuisine from around the world is just not good enough.

Or could it be that when we wreck our car, emergency workers show up and provide services to help all, and even send a helicopter to take you to the hospital.

Perhaps you are one of the 70 percent of Americans who own a home. You may be upset with knowing that in the unfortunate case of a fire, a group of trained firefighters will appear in moments and use top notch equipment to extinguish the flames thus saving you, your family and your belongings.

Or if, while at home watching one of your many flat screen TVs, a burglar or prowler intrudes, an officer equipped with a gun and a bullet-proof vest will come to defend you and your family against attack or loss.

This all in the backdrop of a neighborhood free of bombs or militias raping and pillaging the residents. *Neighborhoods where 90 percent of teenagers own cell phones and computers.

How about the complete religious, social and political freedoms we enjoy that are the envy of everyone in the world?* Maybe that is what has 67 percent of you folks unhappy.

Fact is we are the largest group of ungrateful, spoiled brats the world has ever seen. No wonder the world loves the U.S., yet has a great disdain for its citizens. They see us for what we are. The most blessed people in the world who do nothing but complain about what we don't have, and what we hate about the country instead of thanking the good Lord we live here.

I know, I know. What about the President who took us into war and has no plan to get us out? The President who has a measly 31 percent approval rating?* Is this the same President who guided the nation in the dark days after 9/11?
*
The President that cut taxes to bring an economy out of recession? *Could this be the same guy who has been called every name in the book for succeeding in keeping all the spoiled ungrateful brats safe from terrorist attacks?

The Commander-In Chief of an all-volunteer army that is out there defending you and me?* Did you hear how bad the President is on the news or talk show? Did this news affect you so much, make you so unhappy you couldn't take a look around for yourself and see all the good things and be glad?

Think about it...are you upset at the President because he actually caused you personal pain OR is it because the "Media" told you he was failing to kiss your sorry ungrateful behind every day.

Make no mistake about it. The troops in Iraq and Afghanistan have volunteered to serve, and in many cases may have died for your freedom. There is currently no draft in this country. They didn't have to go.

They are able to refuse to go and end up with either a ''general'' discharge, an ''other than honorable'' discharge or, worst case scenario, a ''dishonorable'' discharge after a few days in the brig.

So why then the flat-out discontentment in the minds of 69 percent of Americans? *Say what you want, but I blame it on the media. If it bleeds, it leads; and they specialize in bad news. Everybody will watch a car crash with blood and guts. How many will watch kids selling lemonade at the corner? The media knows this and media outlets are for-profit corporations. They offer what sells, and when criticized, try to defend their actions by "justifying" them in one way or another. Just ask why they tried to allow a murderer like O.J. Simpson to write a book about "how he didn't kill his wife, but if he did he would have done it this way"...Insane!

Stop buying the negativism you are fed everyday by the media. Shut off the TV, burn Newsweek, and use the New York Times for the bottom of your bird cage. Then start being grateful for all we have as a country. There is exponentially more good than bad.

We are among the most blessed people on Earth, and should thank God several times a day or at least be thankful and appreciative.

"With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, "Are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?"

[LuiECuomo]

Leno said this? Funny, I thought he was a Democrat.

 

[zanos]

This only confirms my beliefs that Jay Leno is a complete buffoon. An untalented one at that. Sad part is this moron represents a good chunk of america.

 

[LuiECuomo]

Tell me, Zanos, who do you support in the primaries?

 

[Genesis 1.0]

Heh, Jay's just gone up a few notches in my book.

 

[SuBe]

What? Please explain before I

I am saying the that Constant Bush Bashin across the Media might actually just be that, and the Majority of Americans actually like the President. Maybe, the Media focuses on the Percentage of people that don't like him to make it look like no one likes him. Maybe the Media is driving the Issue. Not the American People.

 

[Obi-Ron]

It's true, the vast majority of this country could very well be stupid.

 

[LuiECuomo]

That's true. They might even vote for Clinton!!

 

[Genesis 1.0]

It's true, the vast majority of this country could very well be stupid.

And I suppose statements of this enlightened variety make those of your persuassion superior?

I'll pass.

 

[Obi-Ron]

That's true. They might even vote for Clinton!!

Clinton was a national embarrassment, but nowhere near as bad as the Frat Boy-In-Chief.

 

[Genesis 1.0]

Clinton was a national embarrassment, but nowhere near as bad as the Frat Boy-In-Chief.

I give up.

How could I possibly argue with this magnitude of sheer logic?!

I am humbled.

 

[kedrell]

It's true, the vast majority of this country could very well be stupid.

That basically sums up every group of people that's ever existed in human history. Stupidity is natural to mankind. It's just the way of nature.

 

[Obi-Ron]

Yes, I know. The especially stupid take it personally.

 

[The Senator]

This president has caused me personal pain. Pushing for an amendment to the constitution which would prohibit me from being able to marry is quite personal, so my hatred for him, I feel, is rational.

Nevermind everything else I disagree with him on; that's all petty to me compared to this.

 

[LuiECuomo]

Clinton was a national embarrassment, but nowhere near as bad as the Frat Boy-In-Chief.

No, I'm talking about Hillary. Now THAT would be a shame.

 

[Malice]

You know since I know I am the center of the universe...how anyone cannot see my point of view...very strange

 

[LuiECuomo]

By looking at your signature, Malice, I can tell that you and I would get along just fine.

 

[jaguarr]

By looking at your signature, Malice, I can tell that you and I would get along just fine.

Would you still feel that way if he told you he was a GINORMOUS Nader fan?

Funny, I think it might be the best thing for this country.

I have some democratic views...but man I hate those three...but this is not the thread for it...
Welcome!

Who hates Nader!?!?!?
