THE END.

No. That just tells the process of numbers. What they're really looking for is how somebody so unqualified and so glaringly inexperienced could be elected POTUS. Obama is somebody who has never run a business, never been in the military, never created any jobs, and has no experience in organizational expansion, management or growth. This guy has only been a street rabble rouser and knows virtually nothing about market economics. Yet, Democrat drones elected this frighteningly inexperienced person as POTUS during a time of economic crises and war. :doh:

This guy is setting the stage for releasing Gitmo terror detainees at the same time he's proposing slashing the military budget and support for our troops deployed in both theatres. This guy has no experience in leading people at all. And it shows. And yet, Demobots voted for the guy. How idiotic a choice in such dire times. And B. Hussein Obama looks very muchy out of his league. He has no idea what he's doing. It's double speak every day of the week. He has to try to attach himself to actual great men like Reagan and Lincoln when it's blatantly clear he's not anywhere near in stature, knowledge, experience, and depth as both. It's obvious how this guy got elected. Stupidity, hero worship, and blind idealogical faith. That statistical sample taken by Zogby post election showed Obama voters didn't even know who was running Congress! Most of these dolts couldn't even tell you where Obama stood on anything prior to the election. Of course, most of that was Obama's fault as he was ambiguous as well. How could somebody so horrifically unprepared, inexperienced, and antithetical to the American historical concept of individual freedom be elected POTUS? It's obvious.

All things considered, I think Barry O is doing fine. He is still under the thumb of the old Washington way of doing things and this is the dirt he needs to shake off. We see the old Washington way with the latest stimulus bill of things that just do not add up for stimulating anything.

Anyway, this movie is about the media and how it has the ability to drive things in certain directions. In this case, the media was in the bag for Barry O.

I don't think he's doing fine at all, Well of course ther than putting up a pretty sounding speech. So far he's doubling deficits after complaining loudly about deficits. He's closing Gitmo with no viable plan in sight for terror detainees in place. He's on the way to slashing our military budget in a time of war. He's drawing up plans to reduce our nuclear deterrent to 1,000 warheads or less(absolutely dangerous). So far his "stimulus" plan is really a welfare and redistribution plan. We know what "tax cuts to 95%" actually means. Even though Democrat drones have no idea what it means. His message is also never consistent from day to day. That's why I say, he's totally out of his league. I watched his speech and other than sounding nice, it had no real substance.

B. Hussein Obama's speech worked only for those who are believers in big government. It was bent towards those focused on class envy and think government can do no wrong while private businesses are the focus of all evil. Even while government actually produces nothing, builds no wealth, and is dependant on private incomes to sustain it. It was actually quite predictable. Obama and Democrats like him believe America is great because of government. Not because of individuals pursuing their lives under a system of economic liberty and law. That was indicative of his speech. This guy actually sounded like a true demagogue. Nowhere in his speech did he mention the true role that government played that helped lead to this mess. And he is proposing the same activity that created the trouble as a remedy to fix it. :doh: Absolutely stupid. And the idiots who bought the "Change we can believe in" crap cannot even see it.

You'd think we were talking about a President at the end of his term. A MONTH into this administration, and your mind is made up. To me it suggests that if Obama fixed the economy, cured cancer and made great strides in foreign policy you would still have a complete disdain for the man, his party, and anyone that believes in him. You wouldn't be alone, of course. The fringe is not an empty place....

Read a bit closer...first line...."all things considered" It is very screwed up out there and for a guy like me, who is 3 years younger than Barry O, would not even know were to start. Barry O is on ground that has not been walked on in years if at all. Currently he is being led around by the nose. He needs to get his spine and shake off old Washington. Just like past presidents, they too made stupid quick decisions. Barry O is allowed his. Either he is a puppet or he gets hair on his kiwis and starts running the place.

Sorry, this is nonsense. Moore, for example. The right hates him with vitriol. I'm personally in the camp that thinks Moore's movies hold an insane bias, and that they suck. "few bat an eye"?

Lets see....

Moore has had at least 2 films made entirely for the purpose of attacking him pesonally. One entitled "Mike Moore Hates Amercia". Ray Bradbury took Moore to court for using the title "Fahrenheit 9/11". He has been sued by veterans of Iraq, he has been investigated b the Office of Foreign Assets Control, has been publicly taken to the woodhouse by elected officials, TV talking heads and the creators of Southpark.

Keep in mind, I'm not saying Moore didn;t deserve any of the above. Lets just not pretend that when liberal film makers mak a film, "few bat an eye".:doh:

And so the hero worship with no substance sounds all the same to me. Yes, the first month of this guy has been a complete flop. And a first impression is an important thing. If this guy was actually going in the right direction, I would give him credit. But he's disincentivizing taking capital risks in a free market and expanding businesses. He talks, the markets hate it. Hard to grow jobs in such an environment. Yes, this guy is very unqualified.

Tell me Enigma. What business has Obama run? When has he ever met a payroll? How many jobs has your hero actually grown in our economy? Where has he actually served in an executive capacity? What makes him capable of leading a military? He never served in any capacity. Do you think it's such a great idea to reduce our nuclear deterrent to 1,000 or less warheads? What is nuclear deterrence and what has been it's role in keeping the peace for the last 60 or so years? Do you know what capital risk is? Do you know what disposable income is? Do you understand how inflation is created and how it impacts an economy like ours? Did you listen to B. Hussein Obama last night.....and actuaslly hear what he said? Did you comprehend it? Yes, I think most of those who voted for this guy did so not understanding any of this. It's clear that many were caught up in hero worship, blatant economic ignorance, and class envy as a means to vote for somebody so dangerously unqualified to be the POTUS. Perhaps you were one of those.

Seriously, if you understand anything about how incentive, economic growth and true national security works....you could never vote for somebody like this. Almost everything this guy talks about in principle and planning is antithetical to all of this. Even though it sounds pretty and sounds "fair".

Obama is taking no action that will fix the economy, cure cancer, or put us in a prime position in foreign policy. In fact he is endangering our soldiers by going in the direction of military budget cuts in a time of war, releasing more terrorist detainees, and giving dangerous and mixed signals to terrorist organizations by giving the USS Cole bombers a clean slate. He will not grow jobs or jump start a fearful consumer and investment economy by using policies that reward failure and punishes good decision making. You can count on it. And so far, having the whiny countries of Europe "love us again" seems not to be of any real benefit in our foreign policy. And no, he has no ability to cure cancer. But I'm sure many of the nuts who showed up at his rallies thinks he can.

And so the hero worship with no substance sounds all the same to me. Yes, the first month of this guy has been a complete flop. And a first impression is an important thing.

So, if the people elected him,and he remains popular, it has to be "hero worship". This , on it's face, is pure nonsense. There's no doubt that there has been some examples of Obama's "rock star" effect. Big deal. The country is refreshed by this man after the past 8 dreadful years. I don't see it as a bad thing. It's good to be inspired by your leaders. It's good to think highly of them. It's good to have a leader with a positive image in the world. This "first impression" you speak of has been a vastly positive one for Obama. Not to you, I undertand. But for many, the majority it seems. This speaks as well to the idea that the first month has been a complete flop. Every shred of evidence you can produce suggests otherwise. He remains a popular President.

Tell me Enigma. What business has Obama run? When has he ever met a payroll?

Far be it from me to discuss Obamas resume with you. Campaign season is over. His resume may be found on any public web sites if you wish to read it. Not to mention, this country has seen what an "experienced" political insider gets us. I am of the opinion that an intelligent, reasonable man with good intentions and good people around him trumps a long time political insider who owes to many favors, has too many friends with their hands out, and has learned to turn to use the Presidency as a way to turn a profit for him and his friends.

How many jobs has your hero actually grown in our economy? Where has he actually served in an executive capacity? What makes him capable of leading a military? He never served in any capacity.

The President cited just last night that there were some 50+ police officers on the beat in Minnesota as a result of his action, that would otherwise had been layed off. Again, this is 30 days in. You are looking for massive job production numbers from a President 30 days in. Also, military service is not an essential to be Commanderin Cheif. If it was it would be a law. You forget that the American people elected this man over a man with an exceptional military record. Having served does not automatically make you a btter military leader.
As an aside, every time you refer to Obama as my "hero" your case weakens. You canmake your point without talking to me as if I'm a blubbering girl chasing the Beatles down the docks of Merseyside. Or maybe you can't...?

Do you think it's such a great idea to reduce our nuclear deterrent to 1,000 or less warheads? What is nuclear deterrence and what has been it's role in keeping the peace for the last 60 or so years? Do you know what capital risk is? Do you know what disposable income is? Do you understand how inflation is created and how it impacts an economy like ours? Did you listen to B.

Yeah, but your hero is doing everything he can to reward failure and take the incentive out of expanding businesses. All the while he's telling you how he's going to "create" jobs with no actual substance to it. No plans detailed. And you drones slobber all over it without even questioning how he's going to create jobs and expand the economy if he's taking the incentive out of it for investors and those that actually do create jobs like small to medium businesses. What you deem as positive is merely Obamabots listening to someone who knows nothing about market economics talk pretty, yet with no details. Those that understand capital investment, incentive, risk, and economic growth hear his words, and knows how detrimental it all is. Some people actually can filter out some of the other empty class envy rhetoric as well. There is no hope there for anybody who loves freedom and cherishes personal responsibility...only those of you who depend on government.

I don't know. I think it's important that somebody who is put in charge of the executive branch during a time of economic crises have at least some qualifications. Obama truly has none. And his personal resume doesn't have anything there that qualifies him to run anything on an executive level. Much less the government of the USA. As I said, he's never run a business. Never met a payroll. Never managed a business for another party. Never created jobs or managed an enterprise into a position of growth. He's never led anybody in the military as he never served in uniform in any way at all. Not even in a JR. ROTC. He actually has nothing on his resume that qualifies him in any way shape or form. Rabble rousing the streets of Chicago is not a qualifier.


The President cited just last night that there were some 50+ police officers on the beat in Minnesota as a result of his action, that would otherwise had been layed off. Again, this is 30 days in.

You forget that the American people elected this man over a man with an exceptional military record. Having served does not automatically make you a btter military leader.

That's not actual job growth or economic expansion. It represents actual salaries, pension, and benefits that taxpayers have to come up with. So it's really moot. If you're growing an economy, you need to actually expand economic growth, reward and provide incentive to create and innovate. So just there, you can see that he has no idea or clue. And while Military experience is not essential for Commander in Chief, it is something that helps. And when you have no qualifications at all....like Obama, it is something you should at least have. And it looks real bad for him because so far he seems more concerned for terrorist detainees rights, rather than if our own troops have all they need to ensure their mission is successful. And taking steps, planning ahead to reduce our nuclear deterrent to 1,000 warheads in total shows no committment to American national security. He doesn't know how the deterrence model has kept the peace and has made military confrontations between the major powers less likely. I'm sure Dems like you love his "intentions", but like Democrat intentions of the past, it always leads to misery for all. And yes, the sheep of the left keep lapping it up and observe nothing around them.

Where have I insulted you? Where I said "those of you" in the first paragraph? I was speaking generally about left wing sheep..not you directly. I actually questioned you for answers you didn't answer about Obama's qualifications. And I would like to know where the substance is on anything he says. It's not there. There is no real economic growth, incentive, or innovation...just more government jobs that equal more salaries, benefits and pensions that the taxpayers have to pony up for now and down the road. And you clearly equated that with real growth incorrectly. I am firm that Democrats voted for Obama due to a lack of understanding on how economic growth, incentive, and true national security works. And I stand by it. Obama didn't outline in his speech anything last night that dealt with any of it in any realistic way. Just the same old government intrusion, government mandates, and military budget cuts....while in a time of war. And yes, you hate it, but he has done more for the terrorist detainees in his first month than ensuring our troops have what they need to succeed in their mission. I give him credit for doing a Bush surge like strategy in Afghanistan, but calling for military budget cuts, and dropping charges against Cole bombers kinda makes it moot. You don't like it..too bad.

Sorry, but there is no insults in there. Just answers to your posts. With a little harmless sarcasm put in.

I'm much more Conservative than Liberal, and believe that the government should go away and leave us alone, except to referee disagreements so we don't all kill each other. That said, I'm not convinced that some sort of socialistic welfare state isn't the best thing for a crowded modern society. I can't see it working, but has anybody honestly tried. The governments that have tried have been totalitarian in nature. Could it work in a democracy? I don't know. I'm afraid of the idea as much as most Conservatives and outright Libertarians. I just wish I could see an honest debate on the subject (or any other) rather than people who are so convinced of their rightness that they can't discuss it without trying to make the other guy look stupid.

This is why these days I argue the points less and concern myself more with the honesty of the arguments being used.
