Obama's First Presidential Ad
Teach blind men to fish, they'll eat for a lifetime. Give blind men fish, and they'll VOTE for you [for] a lifetime. Entitlements and social programs destroy the hopes and dreams of man. One need not look past a 'ghetto' or 'reservation' to see the effects of Socialism and Entitlements at its best. Socialism and an entitlement state is the antithesis of what made America great. Obama and his rhetoric are socialistic to the core. -prokoph
 
He's a lightweight
good academics
good speaker
lucked out to win the senate due to a dem judge's nonsense

He might become worthy to vote for
right now he is an empty suit

He has charisma, he talks good, that's all that matters to the left.

Has this country EVER been run by Socialists? Sledges wants you to think so!

LOL! The way ya'll talk, ie., bitterly/flippantly, is evidence that there is a whole lot more to Obama than any one of you will admit, or notice.

Well fill us in, what executive experience has he had?
 
He speaks well, but I need to look into details about his stances. I also have extreme reservations about his lack of experience. I have doubts about his ability to govern effectively on foreign policy and also on if he's electable with such little experience.
 
The guy is a lightweight when it comes to experience........
 
Fine with me as long as Clinton doesn't get put into office. I would consider becoming an illegal immigrant into mexico if that happened.

Yeah....I see what you mean....the last time we selected a President with no foreign policy experience and no national experience....he got us into a pointless war which has lead to the death of thousands of our soldiers....and he has driven our country to the brink of financial and moral bankruptcy.......so maybe experience is something that we should look at if we want our country to regain its stature....but then again.....

Yeah, heaven forbid that Democrats actually respect speaking ability and someone who demonstrates a command of the issues.

It seems Republicans prefer willfully ignorant empty suits who can't even string a sentence together unscripted.
 
Jealous and partisan opinionated drivel.

We have the majority in both houses of congress, the majority of governorships and statehouses. What is there to be jealous about?

I simply made an acute observation.

The biggest prize of all the Presidency something your part has only had 2 of in the last 40 years.............
 

I know a lot of you are anxious to grade the Bush presidency a failure but I think the jury is out and we might not know for several years if its a failure or a success.........I am a little older then you and I can remember when people said the Eisenhower presidency was a failure and we know what happened there.........
 


Plus, I can guarentee the thousands of family's of people that Osama was killing don't think it's such a "failure" The stupid part about it is, is that Republicans can't win. If the Democrats get a president next, and he sucks, they will just blame it on bush. If they do great, it's not that Bush was a success, it's that they are an amazing president. If we get one that good, he is a success and Bush still made a horrible choice, and if they suck, then Bush is an idiot and we ruined the country.

You can respect it all you want, but to me it's what they say not how they say it.

and someone who demonstrates a command of the issues.

Since he hasn't..............and just having a "command of them" means what?

If Obama wasn't black he wouldn't even be in consideration now, maybe later if he builds a track record of executive leadership or accomplishment. But right now what else is propelling him? He can can walk and talk at the same time?

It seems Republicans prefer willfully ignorant empty suits who can't even string a sentence together unscripted.

I can't think of a Rep who fit's that description who is running for President and since Bush certainly isn't ignorant can you be more specific.
 


Well if Afghanistan and Iraq became democracies and the price of oil dropped to about $30. a barrel people might lkook a little more kindly at the Bush Presidency.........

And leftest said there would never be an Iraq provisional government, nor a constitution, nor general elections, nor a president..................that wasn't going to happen in the real world either. And if the left has it's way there will not democracy in the ME and lower oil cost but there will be defeat.
 
This guy has lied about his past and has no qualifications to be President. He is a bad choice to back.

Yeesh. I'm generally an optimist but I think believing that both Afghanistan and Iraq will become democracies due to this war is a little too optimistic. This is something that bullets will not solve. If you think there's tension between the Democrats and the Republicans, consider the discrepancies between the Sunnis and the Shi'ites. I know that they are religious not political groups, but their problems are only escalating with this war. The execution of Saddam was poorly done from the perspective of peace there.

That said, I also think Obama probably does lack the experience, but I believe he is considerably more knowledgeable about foreign relations than many give him credit for.
