State of the Union 2014

I'm not joking at all actually. Yourself and certain others on here defend him to no end while redirecting any question actually posed at you. You are defending a president that received a broken system and instead of trying to fix it he keeps adding to the broken system. Obama is good for social works but as far as being a economic leader he is a joke. But you'll just redirect me to some link about how bad Bush was.

You're viewing this forum through Red colored glasses and maybe you're haven't been keeping up on the Politics folder. I don't often link back to Bush but I'll certainly point out his fuck ups if it's germain to the discussion.

I will defend Obama. I like the things he's done. I voted for him twice and I hope we elect a democrat in the next cycle. I'm a big fan of ACA and I want it to succeed then eventually be replaced by a single payer system. I'm pissed that the ACA rollout was such a fuck up. I'm glad we're out of Iraq. Glad that our economy is improving and I'm pleased with the way he handled Syria.

Conversly I'm disgusted with what passes for "conservatism" these days. The GOP's in utter disarray, their message is extreme and they still think they represent the "norm" or the center. All in all, Obama's doing a good job and the GOP has no real bones to pick. If they did they'd be longer on substance and shorter on Benghazi, 40+ votes to repeal ACA, this red herring about "imperialist president", Gov't shutdowns and the Tea Party. My posts will reflect these beliefs. Don't confuse that with slavish devotion.

Rarely is a direct question posted to me. Most are statements with a ? at the end followed by a challenge like "Then how do you answer that!" They are almost never directly related to the topic at hand and are typically just an ad hominem attack or a straw man argument. These do not deserve recognition much less a response.

If you have felt slighted by me not responding directly to honest questions that you've posed to me, then I apologize and will look for your posts more closely. If any of these oversights have been especially egregious feel free to PM me with the links so I can go back and make sure you get the answers you were looking for.
