Tak.

I used to think you exaggerated about GT.

Regretfully yours,

Tchocky,

When I was six years old I insisted that Santa Claus was real.I was most regrettably incorrect in making this claim.

With great compunction I apologize,
Stealhead

Cmon, Santa was needed to keep kids under 6 from being evil.

I would drop his class if wound up with him as a con law professor because he has not clue.I mean on the rare occasion I've seen footage or things he wrote regarding the constitution, he was absolutely incorrect as is anyone who pushes the "living constitution" THEORY.Which is nothing more than left wing way to confuse the meaning among those who do not know any better so can have some appearance of legitimacy in their ridiculous policies.

Will you admit you're completely wrong when he doesn't seek a 3rd term (which, btw, would require an amendment to the Constitution)? Somehow I doubt it.

That is for show, but I promise he will strike even if does not get permission or something will happen where enough changes their mind.Believe me, there is chicago thuggery afoot right now in DC.

Yes I am aware the LEGALLY, the constitution would have be amended but do you think obama or his goons care? Obama could care less about the constitution.I can almost hear his disgusting voice now trying to mince words and explain why elections are postponed, why he must stay in office just a little while longer. Used to this was unthinkable , but under hi=m? No. That is part of his advantage, a large number of people underestimate the danger he poses but he feels not restrained by law, plus no doubt he has a back up plan.Rocky seas ahead my friends..

You know, I had a customer come into the shop last week, looking to buy a motorcycle. We found one he liked, I had him fill out the credit app. While we were waiting for the bank to get back to us, we were discussing stuff, and somehow without my noticing, the conversation turned political. He began asserting that Obama was using the Syrian conflict in order to remain for a third term, take control of this and that, suspend liberties...

Man, it's one thing to read posts about this online, it's really scary to have a guy siting across the desk from saying it in the light of day.

He didn't get approved for the loan, bad credit, to many credit card charge offs and collections.

1. The US is not a democracy in original sense, common people cannot elect directly. As they say it is a 'constitutional republic'. This means rich powerful people influence elections and build up the candidates themselves. No politician is rich and/or powerful himself to pay those fees for entering as a candidate.
Unless Mr. Ford or Rockefeller would have campaigned themselves.
(Which is why i would propose to elect our economical bosses directly, without using politicians as puppets. Spares a lot of money.)

2. The second a politician has been elected, the real powers (economical and those who really know, like e.g. secret services) tell him what's really up, and that is when he can say goodbye to his ideals and campaign pledges (if there was any idealism left). With this new nasty knowledge of what's really going on there is not much leeway to navigate, for the 'president'.

Greetings,
Catfish

edit: P.S. Sorry for taking you seriously
That is a litte too conspiracy theorist for me.

Yes money has corrupted and once someone is in office they owe a lot of favors but they are still powerful.There is a power structure to consider but there is no dark force pulling the strings. A movement and political ideology are elected more than a man, at least lately.

Bush was well meaning but not extremely bright son of a powerful family who managed to get elected.Overwhelmed and not ready for the job, he relied heavily on those he trusted, namely Cheney and Rumsfeld.Unfortunately, the neocons, which are not much better than far left types, maybe a little more inclined toward domestic liberty, less taxes etc but still just about as bad, won his trust.

Obama is a hardcore marxist indoctrinated since he was a child who managed to get some backers knowing a black man who didnt talk like Sharpton or Jackson would have a chance, esp with correct timing, that year was 2008, they knew the ignorant masses would buy him.Yes, the power structure on that side of the aisle joined on his bandwagon, some knowing he was not a good thing but look for their own interest, others were just not aware.Regardless, we have someone more dangerous than ANY individual to ever hold that office.The man's behavior since he took office has shown this.The most disturbing is his utter disregard for the law he shows, esp as it pertains to rights of citizens.The thing EVERYONE should be up in arms over is his use of drones on AMERICAN citizens who the government labels a terrorist. Unfortunately, people let their emotions and bias interfere and say (well he was an arab and a terrorists so to hell with him) but they dont realize the precedent that it has set.

Yes, it is a scary thought but it's one people should be aware of is a possibility.That is a huge problem with many people in this country, they think oh it wont happen here, this is the USA.Well guess what, we are in uncharted territory.We have had dangerous leaders before, Lincoln and FDR come to mind but they meant well, did some bad, stupid things but meant well and didnt thing this nation was rotten to the core. The man who currently holds that office HATES this country as it was founded, he thinks the constitution is irrelevant. Obama believes this country needs to be "fundamentally transformed" . I base this on research into who he is, how he thinks, he actions as president.I look beyond the facade and understand his true intent, as many do. Something he takes advantage of us is the stupidity of many and the willingness of some, who have their doubts, to give him the benefit of the doubt because American people as a whole, are fair, too fair sometimes.Tolerance is a good thing but it can go too far. Obama and his people know how to play enough of the population.

Neal, what does his credit have to do with anything? Bad credit does not mean a bad person etc. Credit is a tool used to for control and to keep people down, nothing more.
