RCP said:"The civil rights movement was hard. Winning the vote for women was hard. Making sure that workers had some basic protections was hard," President Obama said at a fundraiser while talking about how difficult it is to bring about "change" in politics.
"Around the world, Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, what they did was hard. It takes time. It takes more than a single term. It takes more than a single president. It takes more than a single individual," Obama said.
"What it takes is ordinary citizens who keep believe, who are committed to fighting and pushing and inching this country closer and closer to our highest ideals. And I said in 2008, 'that I am not a perfect man and I will not be a perfect president.' But I promised you, but I promised you, I promised you back then that I would always tell you what I believe. I would always tell you where I stood," he also said at a fundraiser in NYC.
This is a joke, right??? :mrgreen:
Are you referring to the poll or the quotes in the OP?
Do you see Obama on the same level as Ghandi and Mandela?

how do you figure? Paul's policy towards peace is to stop harassing countries in the middle east. Bring our troops home. Start talking to nations rather than forcing ourselves upon them.
Clearly the things you cite are on the same level as the expanded drone assassinations, keeping Gitmo open and allowing guns over our borders to kill hundreds of Mexicans. Silly .... [/sarcasm]
Not quite sure where your going with this one?

I don't see where he compared himself to Gandhi or Mandela.
Because Paul's policies would lead to a direct destabilization of the world. Paul seems to think it's still the 17th century.
He did not. Truth does not make for a good political hack thread though.
That's a mighty big assumptionBecause Paul's policies would lead to a direct destabilization of the world.

Truth doesn't make for good misdirection and distraction of a thread either.
