I don't, but I really don't feel like getting into a political argument right now -_- let's just say I'm Conservative/Republican. And what chrisdogggg said, he's not helped our nation. I actually think he's made it worse.

Of corse not, he's done nothing to solve America's issues. I don't think he's made it worse but he hasn't helped anything
I do because he is actually very supportive for most good things. He actually cares for his citizens unlike some leaders where they just don't bother
It's not an easy job being the president. Many people blame Obama for the America's problems, but the truth is, those were there before Obama took office. I wouldn't have voted for Obama when he was running but he isn't too bad of a president.
I love reading that people really think he cares about his country. The only thing he has done is raise taxes and cut programs. Yup he cares a ton.
SS contributions HAVE RETURNED TO WHAT THEY WERE PRIOR TO OBAMAS TWO YEAR HOLIDAY.
THERE HAS BEEN A MINOR INCREASE IF YOU MAKE OVER $400,00.00 a year which I'm assuming you don't since you act more like a schoolchild.
So show me facts (look it up if you don't understand the meaning)
If you did not understand what Obama meant then you're just being simplistic.
Embracing division is not helping anything except foreign interest that hate us.
And yes I do like him.
I do like our president but i dont like the fact he could be doing more out of the kindness of his own money or his own power to spread words to help or guide others threw harsh news around the world and let people know everything will be okay and solved i feel alot of issues still need to be solved and i know the president is doing his best but i think the president should never be afraid to ask the citizens for help into leading our nation into a positive much safer one i feel the president cant do everything by himself but also he can try to do alot more just because thats why we call him are president. Other then that i like how he supports the stuff others may not support.
I don't usually LIKE any man saying one thing and then doing another..consistently. I don't trust (or like) any man who says they will be completely transparent, with every law, and put every plan on line before it's passed, (then doesn't) or promises to reduce the deficit, yet adds 5 trillion, in 3 years- His budgets are rejected by his own party! Promised to not have lobbyist in their cabinet.etc. (and does).
I don't like a man who lies, conceals and manipulates, because he can't be honest and say what he really wants- a socialist or even Communist country, and has been taking away freedoms and striping away the Constitution with "executive orders," and Obama Care. I don't like the brainwashing of students by leftist Union teachers..I don't like a leader who hates and apologizes for America, and wants to transform it to his personal Utopia..(whatever that may be)!
I DO love how the anti obamas use communist and socialist interchangeably, like they're the same thing...
Aiken, still not an answer, specify please
But the headline of the Cybercast News Service report simply jumps to the conclusion that the IRS said that the ?Cheapest Obamacare Plan Will Be $20,000 Per Family,? when there was no indication that that was the case. An opinion piece published on LifeNews.com made the same leap, claiming that ?the IRS ? has finally released a cost analysis based on ObamaCare regulations showing that the cheapest healthcare plan in 2016 will cost average American families of four or five members $20,000 per year for the so-called ?bronze plan.? ?
For one thing, the example in the proposed regulations uses the word ?average,? which means that the ?cheapest? plan could, in fact, be lower than $20,000. But more important, the regulations weren?t a ?cost analysis? at all. A spokesperson for the Treasury Department confirmed to FactCheck.org in an email that the IRS wasn?t making any declarations or projections about what prices will be.
?[Twenty thousand dollars] is a round number used by IRS for a hypothetical example,? the official wrote. ?It is not an estimate of premiums for a bronze plan for a family of five in 2016.?
Calling the ACA that is indeed bull
Yes, why?
He understands that women's bodies belong to them
He repealed dadt
He prevented a Great Depression
He has mostly repaired our image abroad
He took down bin laden after the last admin publicly stated they no longer cared
He supports stem cell research
He supports equality in marriage
He revamped student loans
He implemented controls on bankers
I would like to see, the patriot act dumped, tsa disbanded, a return to the Reagan tax rates and a few other things but overall, not bad
As for abortion, it's a personal choice and a personal decision, I'm glad Obama recognizes that.
Bud, bush gave up, Obama restarted the search, approved who and how it went down, same as any prez.
Because of congressional members who are like you and want to dictate what a woman can do with her body.
The fantasy right wing nuts have of a woman thinking, get my hair done, stop at the bank, pop in and grab an abortion... Is what's disgusting
Changing of topic tends to be how a conversation moves along.
You call us complainers....
It really doesn't matter, roe vs wade got it right and the religious meddlers need to get over it
Hypocrisy at its best
That is not remotely the same science and that comparison is the same as saying the only science that says that life /doesn't/ begin at conception is the same as what says e=mc^2. I do not believe life is immadiate, but i believe it is at the moment the heart starts beating. around day 18. at that moment there is a functioning organ sustaining life inside of a young human being. It may not look like one, but as you loudly shout your party does not discriminate based on appearance
again YOUR BELIEF is that it's a life at day 18, etc, etc and you are welcome to your beliefs but when your beliefs start infringing upon MY body it's gone too far.
Why don't the pro lifers understand that you are quite welcome to do as you please with your body, I don't care. Just leave me out of it.
However, clearly we are way off subject..
You are correct that it is just as much the man's fault. He should be held responsibe as well. but except for rape, it is a women's choice what er, happens to her body. If she wants to let people, er, do that to her, she needs to live with the consequences. Additionally, so should the male
It IS a woman's choice what happens to her body
YOUR opinion.
If you want to get scientific about it, a fetus is a parasite.
Here's the thing, until you walk a mile in a pregnant woman's shoes, don't try to decide what is right and wrong for her. You live your life your way and others will do the same. Maybe you're right, maybe I'm right, nobody knows but at least I don't have the arrogance to dictate to you how you should live
I can live with what choices I make, my daughter makes, any woman makes. It's up to us, thankfully, not you
The point I am trying to make, and what I believe I have stated, is as follows.
In the event that you are correct
I have merely defended things which will one day become human, and havent hurt anone
In the event that I am correct
You have defended those who murder babies and allow that process. Kudos
Tell that to the women whose bodies you want to control
Would you rather see the unfortunate, scared, desperate female and fetus die than allow a legal abortion? Next you say and do almost nothing about the male who is at the least an equally quilty party. You do not to mention how she will be able to bring up a child she does not want. You may be attempting to defend the possibity of life to the point that the existing life is ended along with that possible life.
The law exists so why continue to argue your point. Do you not believe that God has the power to work this out? Or are you believing you are God's voice in this? Just look back into the facts that brought about Roe V Wade and maybe you will see why the decision was made. God was not asleep that day!
Number two- I am not controlling anyone, I am seeking to enforce and rectify laws in place. Those against murder
Again, your opinion that its a human being is just that.
In your opinion, it's alive.
Luckily the law is on my side and I also believe guys should stay out of things they don't understand.
The law is on your side, for now. If we just went along with and never tried to change laws... well I trust you can use your head]
Your last remark is frankly rather sexist and offensive. You dont have to be woman to understand the process of pregnancy and such. So i think that gender really is not a barrier when great scientists and doctors and other brilliant minds have spent their lives examining that particular area of humanity. I think they'd be rather offended too.
Additionally, you seem to use opinions more often than I do, I think that perhaps your side is more opinion-oriented quite frankly
Yes, a fetus has the POTENTIAL to be human. It is not in and of itself human.
Quite frankly I'M insulted that you deem it your place to direct my beliefs.
Why do you want to repeat what already failed?
You want to change laws? Change the ones that affect men and leave women to handle their own lives
I'll side with the woman
All done, you can preach your religious beliefs to thin air.
I weep that so many think as you do. What exactly about mine trouble you so?
I find the life of the mother equally as important as to that of the life of the living child within her. Equality. Dont you believe in that any more? Maybe after gay rights we will see a fetus rights movement. May be Roe vs wade will be overturned like JIm Crowe
There will be a fetus movement when they can stand up and speak.
As for your supposedly not religious? Bull, your arguments are religious based "life from conception"
Have a good life and please stay out of mine.
Should we offer clinics to humanely kill those that also displease us to avoid those pesky backalley backstabbings? Again, I propose that if there is a significant defect, the life of the mother is threatened, incest, or rape, then abortion may be necesarry. And once again, if they can't handle the consequences then they should never have done anything to provoke them.
I am not very religious, it is not religion based. I have never stated life from conception, in fact I said that it is alive from the moment his/her heart starts beating. You may want to get your memory loss checked out.
I would gladly stay out of your life. That's a very republican thing to do. But I cannot when you insist on cutting short those of who have yet to enjoy it
Do I like Obama? That's like asking me if I like urinating on the floor in the middle of a school pep rally. He keeps digging us deeper into debt that we are unable to repay. Then he makes promises that he doesn't keep. Remember, in his Union Address, he said, "We have to keep the promises that we've already made."? The only promises that he's kept are the ones that have messed up this country. And people still vote for him! You know he wants to get rid of jobs with his new plan. He's going to get rid of the people that help with special needs kids. Why would he get rid of those people? they are actually helping the world and he's trying to get rid of them. He does that because he has czars in his Cabinet that don't care about them. They're like Hitler. He experimented on the special need people. Those czars don't care about those types of people. The pretty much want them eliminated. And Obama says he wants to create more jobs. How's he going to do that if he's taking them away? Well, you might say, he's trying to get us out of debt by saving money. The government just has to stop spending money! Obama could do us a huge favor by resigning. He's also taking away guns. That doesn't help anything. Guns aren't what kill people. People kill people. Taking away guns is a violation of the Second Amendment. You know, the first thing Hitler did right before he cane to power was take away every bodies guns. So they couldn't defend themselves. Obama is making everything he does look like a dictatorship. Plus, Obama is really hard to look at. His face is really ugly in my opinion. Maybe not to you, but to me? Blech!
I work with special needs and Obama isn't taking anything away from them... The sequester will cut funds, thank congress for that one.
He is not taking our guns away, he is looking at common sense restrictions and the supreme court has already ruled that restrictions do not violate our second amendment rights.
Next, please learn history. Hitler did not take guns away, he loosened restrictions that had been put in place due to WWI.
Any job cuts that will happen in fed government is due to sequester, again, thank congress.
And by the way? CONGRESS is responsible for the budget
THAT is considered research now?
"The truth is that no gun law was passed in Germany in 1935. There was no need for one, since a gun registration program was already in effect in Germany; it was enacted in 1928, five years before Hitler?s ascendancy. But that law did not ?outlaw? guns, it just restricted their possession to individuals who were considered law-abiding citizens, and who had a reason to own one. And there?s no reason to consider that law particularly significant, either; the NAZIs didn?t seize control of their own country with gunpowder. They used a much more potent weapon: propaganda.
Under their reign, Jews were prohibited from owning guns, just as they were prohibited from doing many things. And it has become an article of faith among the gun culture that had they been armed, the Holocaust would not have happened (that is, among those members of the gun culture who know that the Holocaust really did happen). But the concept of a handful of citizens armed with hunting rifles and Saturday night specials fending off an army is delusional hubris peculiar to gun addicts. On American soil, its most glorious day in the sun has been perhaps Waco. And we all know how well that turned out.
The gun culture is right about one thing, however. Hitler really did enact a new gun law. But it was in 1938, not 1935 ? well after the NAZIs already had the country in its iron grip. Furthermore, the new law in many ways LOOSENED gun restrictions. For example, it greatly expanded the numbers who were exempt, it lowered the legal age of possession from 20 to 18, and it completely lifted restriction on all guns except handguns, as well as on ammunition.
Given all of this, it?s pretty hard to make a case that ?gun control? played a significant role in NAZI conquest. In fact, one might well say that when gun addicts brandish Hitler as a weapon, they are unwittingly arguing against their own cause.
And no one is saying that permits weren't required. It's just that Hitler made it easier to get one than it was before.
Also, I don't look up sources to support the claims of others. The burden of proof falls to the claimant.
The Illuminati and the Freemasons are secret societies and favorite conspiracy subjects for fanatical right-wing conservative Christians who believe in America's exceptional place in the history of the world due to its being ordained and brought into being by God. I don't have time today for reading such tripe. I will accept your summary of the article as sufficient
But this website you cited is like looking at an angry, antisemitic, homocidal online version of the National Enquirer. I am surprised you used it as a source for us. When I am sourcing material I disregard any instances of such sites as the Huffington Post and Mother Jones that turn up in a search because I assume they will be seen as biased. How could any rational person not see this Henry Makow website as anything but biased and pushing a very specific agenda? It's just not good sourcing.
Could be
NO! He is the worst president in history. He cares not about the American people as a whole. He caters to those who will give him a vote. He tells the uninformed voters what they want to hear than does something else. He's now spent more money than all presidents in history ,all together. He is a liar. When ever there's a problem he leaves and lets someone else take the fall.
That little canard has been proven wrong many times
First, there are two common measures for debt. One, called public debt, tallies up the debt held by the public, while gross federal debt is a larger figure that combines publicly held debt plus debt held by the government itself, such as in the Social Security or Medicare trust funds. Both figures are considered legitimate, and since Palin didn?t specify which one she was referring to, we?ll run the numbers for both categories of debt.
Second, we?ll assume that all the debt accumulated under Obama should be attributed to him. In reality, this isn?t a logical allocation, since the first budget he wrote was actually for the 2010 fiscal year, and because he -- like all presidents -- inherited the fiscal legacy of his predecessor.
Still, calculating it this way is much simpler -- and as we?ll see, it won?t matter to the outcome.
We turned to the Treasury Department?s "Debt to the Penny" calculator, where we found that on Obama?s first day in office, Jan. 20, 2009, the public debt stood at $6.307 trillion; gross federal debt stood at $10.627 trillion. For the most recent date available -- May 27, 2011 -- these two debt figures stood at $9.718 trillion and $14.345 trillion, respectively.
That means that under Obama, the public debt rose by $3.411 trillion and the gross federal debt rose by $3.718 trillion. That?s a huge amount of money -- but it?s far less than what was accumulated by Obama?s 43 predecessors.
Because debt is cumulative (minus any intervening surpluses) the debt level for the previous 43 presidents is equal to the amount of debt on the day Obama was inaugurated. So even by the standards we used -- which aren?t especially favorable to Obama -- the debt he accumulated amounts to either 54 percent of his predecessors? combined debt (using the public debt figure) or 35 percent (using gross federal debt).
Neither of these figures is "more ? than all those other presidents combined," as Palin had said.
This was posted to debunk "Obama has more debt than all others combined" NOT to say there is no debt
A statement was made and I posted the facts.
You need to read more and assume less
Not at all. It saddens me that he was elected
He is teaching America that they dont have to earn their living. He is telling us that it will al be okay as long as you're not rich. He is arrogant and has done nothing to help this country that needs to be helped
In the midst of the worst economic crisis since the 20's, entitlements made up a whole 12% of the budget.
Whoopee.
He's a nice guy and has a lovely family. He's also an ideologue so since his ideology and mine are at 90 degrees to each other, we won't agree on much while I respect and admire his commitment to his agenda. He is a remarkably talented campaigner but poor at actually governing. I admire his tenacity and his chutzpah.
Obama rules!!!
look around what do you think?
No
I do not like him at all. There's not enough adequate adjectives to describe how I feel about him.
He is a good person, and I respect him because he is our leader, however, I don't like his vision for America and his policies.
No. He is arrogant, rude, deceptive and not trustworthy. He released 2500 illegal immigrants; why not whites or african-americans? Hm...
yes i am very democratic but with all presidents most people dont fully agree or disagree. He has great ideas one of his newer ones is a national wifi network which would cut 10 billion dollars from the debt.
He is running this country into the ground. I am concerned about my freedoms being taken away. He is on a mission to totally take away our freedoms of speech, bare arms, and worship.
If he really cared about this country, he would do something to fix it. But he hasn't. We're still in debt and he keeps driving us even deeper. Where are all the jobs he promised?
amuse me
