Miss Me Yet?...Americans Would Prefer a Third Term of Bush Over Obama

Give the guy credit. He was like 62 years old at the time and dodged the shoe all ninja-like!

amen ronnie

including carter? hmph ahh ha ekk hah smirk hahahahahhahahahaahahahahahahha

Did I stutter? I said the worst and I meant exactly that. There is not even a close second... And what the hell is "hmph ahh ha ekk hah smirk hahahahahhahahahaahahahahahahha". Maybe someone needs to work on their typing skills?

By the way congo, just so we are clear on one thing, I am not saying that Carter was very good or even that I am all that impressed with Obama. What I am saying is that Bush was that big of a mistake. He was a complete idiot that thought he could float through the presidency and the country would run its self. When we put Bush in office we basically elected the class clown as president. He was completely unprepared for the job and we as a country are worse off for it.

bush tax cuts, kept the country healthy until near the end pf his 2nd term when the beginning of the stimulus began, started by him and continued and worsened by the dems. kept the country safe from islamofacists. other than that not much

if you had stuttered i'd have even more to make fun of besides just your dumb ass liberalism

"he could float through the presidency and the country would run its self." - MMMmm, Obama floated through the Afghan war that he blamed Bush on mismanaging. He met only once in 4 months via video conference and then not again until after September. Over 9 months without a face to face..........Guess this CIC figures the wars will run themselves....just like the country.

I'm SOOOOOOOooo glad Obama had such a VAST, diverse resume before he became the POTUS........WOW I get a warm fuzzy.

word

What about Harding?

Couldn't find your link but this is what the NY Times says........

"the Pentagon tags the cost of the Iraq war at roughly $600 billion and counting. Joseph E. Stiglitz, a Nobel Prize-winning economist and critic of the war, pegs the long-term cost at more than $4 trillion. The Congressional Budget Office and other analysts say that $1 trillion to $2 trillion is more realistic, depending on troop levels and on how long the American occupation continues."

A trillion here a trillion there pretty soon were talking real money...

^yes

The headline is intentionally misleading.
This tends to happen a lot with his posts.

A problem? For the most part much of the current community that I've come to witness here is not worthy of much respect... especially by the vitriolic behavior that is continually projected upon most who are apart from the 'atheist', 'gay' or 'progressive' community.

i told the same thing to dan rather...the headline does not say all americans, i have no control what others perceive from my posts. at least youre intelligent enough to delve further and not take everything at face value sweetheart

i know ahi, on current the conservative, straight, white, judeo-christian male seems to be in the minority. not necessarily that combination or in that order. but this is america so even minorities like myself still have the right to freedom of expression, even though many on the left prefer the censorship route.

Last month, a beautician in Parma, OH, told me "the most endangered species in America, was white males". She was serious. She also told me, she didn't want to wear a burka (sp?). It was at the hight of the Mosque controversy, but she believed what she was saying.

Sad, sad, sad! Boy was she being misled. Endangered white males? That's funny! I'm white, I'm sure she thought I would agree, but I thought it was sad.

Now you're just playing the semantics game, lol.
The headline implies a majority of Americans.

Technically, I could say Americans prefer me to be president. But I'd only be talking about myself and one other person. We're both Americans, so it's a valid claim. But, the general interpretation would be that I'm talking about most Americans.

So that justifies your misleading headlines?

if thats your interpretation then i guess so

well if your avatar represents you, then i would say yes you would only be talking about yourself.

no need to worry about being forced to wear a burka unless somehow sharia law becomes the law of the land in the u.s. but they are kinda revealing and sexy!

I was just pointing out the 'fear' of angry misguided white folk. When she brought up Iraq, I stated the error of going there in the first place. Her answer was, 'don't tell me, you're one of those American haters?' She was serious! I then explained all the things wrong with bombing the people of Iraq. The injustice of bombing a country, which had not killed one American. The sadness I felt for the children who have known nothing but American nation building, via our bombs.

Two planes, taking down three buildings in America, rocked my world. What must our planes and bombs done to their world. All one has to do is, look at the background during news clips. Destruction everywhere. Sad, sad, sad!

with all the unfortunate tragedy in the middle east hopefully our efforts will turn out for the best. some hate the u.s. and some appreciate the u.s. after having been set free from the sadistic saddam and his two murdering rapist sons. where the line of divide in that country stands is difficult to decipher.

I never get tired of it. Any excuse to post it will do.

Not even in the same league. Come on, there isn't a day that goes by where I don't utter at least one of those sentences. If I were President, I would be hard pressed not to have a stream of obscenities coming out of my mouth continuously.

Now, "Gay Bar", that is a work of art. :D

actually these are probably the best things ive ever heard him say

how can this post be considered so subtle when everyone commenting on here is on to it?

how bout a free movie pass? after all the man worked pretty hard protecting your and my butt for 8 years

mmhm, and by the way only one war. obama's taken claim to afghanistan

Oh, just stop it!!! George W. did not protect us! 9/11 happened under his watch! Did you forget? Or, just too busy spinning BS, to face the facts, George W. ruined our country, morally and financially. Our country is more divided than any time I can remember, during my lifetime. Sadly, it has been divided due to disinformation and spin by MSM. Too bad we no longer own our airwaves. Corporations can't be trusted to tell us the truth!

i do agree that big corps own us. but honestly ive seen more division building under obama than bush. and honey the last major push to u.s. ruination began with clinton and has snowballed with each succeeding president. the last 18 months have been especially hellatious.

9/11 didn't happen under Dubya according to Fox news. :D

i know, its too bad that every time someone questions or makes fun of obama they are automatically considered racist other wise the tv would have butt loads of funny material to glean from.

As long as the comedy is not based on race, I would welcome some creative funny stuff about Obama. Supernews does a pretty good Obama impression that is pretty funny, but the Supernews Joe Biden is my absolute favorite character in the world.

i know, joe is so full of foot in mouth disease theres decades of material spewing from his mouth. he actually makes bush look like a genus.

wow bailey, you never miss a chance to expose your soul. peace

Soul what soul? I sold it a long time ago.

my bad

THE ENTERPRISE

1. At all times relevant to this Indictment, there existed an Enterprise, within the meaning of Title 18, USC, Section 1961 (4), that is, a group of individuals associated in fact which utilized the official positions of defendant GEORGE HERBERT WALKER BUSH in the Government of the United States of American to facilitate the transfer, importation, and distribution of large quantities of illegal narcotics within the United States.

2. The members of the Enterprise consisted of the defendant herein named and others, including international drug traffickers, who utilized the Enterprise and the official positions of GEORGE HERBERT WALKER BUSH, DONALD P. GREGG, and OLIVER L. NORTH to facilitate their narcotics and money-laundering operations.

ROLE IN THE ENTERPRISE

1. From January 1981 to January 1989, George Bush was Vice President of the United States, and from January 1989 to January 1993, Bush was President of the United States.

2. Beginning in 1981 and up until 1989, while he was Vice President of the United States, Bush assumed extraordinary power over U.S. intelligence and covert operations. This was done through a series of Executives Orders and National Security Decision Directives (NSDDs) signed by President Ronald Reagan.

3. On Dec. 14, 1981, President Reagan signed NSDD-3 on “Crisis Management,” which designated the Vice President chairman of the Special Situation Group (SSG), responsible for crisis management.

4. On January 12, 1982, President Reagan signed NSDD-2, which reaffirmed the existence of various interagency groups to deal with intelligence and covert operations. Under the interpretation of this document promoted by Bush, the SSG superseded and pre-empted the powers of the National Security Council in areas of “crisis management,” which encompassed covert operations and counter-terrorism.

5. On Jan. 28, 1982, Bush was put in charge of the South Florida Task Force on drugs.

6. On May 14, 1982, a standing Crisis Pre-Planning Group (CPPG 1 and 2) was established under the SSG. The SSG-CPPG, under Bush, was given responsibility for any area in which a “potential crisis” could emerge, and was charged with developing “preemptive policy options” for dealing with such a potential crisis.

7. On April 10, 1982, NSDD-30, on “Managing Terrorist Incidents,” was issued, giving the Vice President control over the convening of the SSG, and creating the “Terrorist Incident Working Group” (TIWG) to support the SSG.

8. On March 23, 1983, Bush took charge of the National Narcotics Border Interdiction System (NNBIS).

9. In July 1985, the Vice President’s Terrorism Task Force was created, headed by Bush.

10. In Feb. 1986, the Terrorism Task Force issued its report, creating the Operations Sub-Group, officially a sub-group of the TIWG, and also creating a permanent counter-terrorism office located in the NSC staff, headed by Oliver North, but ultimately controlled and directed by Bush.

11. In August 1986, Bush became the chief of “Operation Alliance,” an anti-narcotics effort to be conducted in cooperation with Mexico.

Thus from Dec. 1981 to August 1986, Bush had consolidated his control over virtually aspect of U.S. covert operations, as well as every agency dealing with drug interdiction. Never before in peacetime in our country’s history had one man assumed as much power as Bush exercised while Vice President.

PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVE OF THE ENTERPRISE

1. In 1982, the first in a series of "Boland Amendments" was passed by the U.S. Congress sharply curtailing the available funding from the U.S. government to the Nicaraguan Contras (hereafter "The Contras"). To make up for this loss of funding, defendant BUSH entered into an agreement with the Columbian drug cartels to exhange guns for drugs. The proceeds of the drug sales in turn were used to secretly fund the Contras. In order to accomplish this, the Enterprise, through its vast connections, made arrangements to make the cocaine it received for guns affordable and readily available to the ghettos across America. This would come in the form of "rock," which is more commonly known as crack cocaine.

OVERT ACTS

1. In the summer of 1981, Norwin Meneses and Oscar Blandon traveled to Honduras to meet with contra leader Enrique Bermudez, and Bermudez instructed Meneses and Blandon to establish a funding mechanism for the Contras on the West Coast of the United States.

2. During 1981, Meneses and Blandon imported and sold over 2000 pounds of cocaine in California.

3. During 1983, Blandon, Meneses, and others began to sell and distribute crack cocaine in Los Angeles, derived from cocaine imported from Colombia via El Salvador and Costa Rica. Much of this cocaine was flown into the U.S. by Marcos Aquado, operating from Ilopango air base in El Salvador.

4. On or about March 6, 1984, George Morales was indicted for drug smuggling. A few weeks after that, Morales met with certain Contra leaders in south Florida, Popo Chomorro and Octaviano Ceasar, whom he identified as CIA agents. They told Morales they would help him with his legal problems if he helped them with weapons and explosives and other items. The Contra leaders agreed to supply Morales with drugs, which he would sell then purchase supplies for the Contras.

5. In March 1984, Barry Seal, who had been rejected as an informant by local agencies, traveled to Washington to the offices of the Vice President’s Task Force on Drugs. The Task Force directed the DEA to retain Seal as an informant and to allow him to keep his property and assets, and to allow him to continue to smuggle drugs from Central America into Louisiana and Arkansas, among other places.

6. During the summer of 1984, Barry Seal met representatives of the Colombian drug cartel in Miami, and traveled with them to Mena, Arkansas, to show them the facilities used by Seal for smuggling narcotics and maintaining and disguising his aircraft.

7. On May 12, 1984, Oliver North wrote in his note book:
“...contract indicates Gustavo is involved w/drugs.”

8. In June 1984, Meneses attended a fund-raising meeting with Calero in San Francisco.

9. In the summer of 1984, North asked Richard Secord to assist Calero in purchasing arms for the Contras.

10. In the summer of 1984, North spoke with his courier, Robert Owen, and asked him to meet regularly with Calero to discuss the Contra’s needs, to deliver intelligence to the Contras, and to supply them with money.

11. On June 26, 1984, North wrote in his notebook:
“Call from Owen—John Hull—protection ...
John now has ‘private army of 75-100’— Cubans involved in drug—up to 100 more Cubans expected.”

12. In or around July of 1984, Morales purchased weapons in Florida and loaded them on an airplane in Florida. The plane returned within a few days with a load of narcotics, which Morales sold and gave the money to the Contras.

13. In or around July of 1984, for the second time, Morales purchased weapons in Florida and loaded them on an airplane in Florida. The plane returned within a few days with a load of narcotics, with Morales sold and gave the money to the Contras.

14. During or around June or July of 1984, Morales placed a telephone call to Gary Betzner and asked him to come to Florida. Morales and Betzner then met in Florida to discuss flying weapons to the Contras and flying drugs back.

15. In or around July 1984, Betzner flew a planeload of weapons, including an M-60 machine gun, M-16 rifles, and C-4 plastic explosives from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, to the ranch of John Hull in Costa Rica. At the Hull ranch, the weapons and explosives were unloaded, and then 17 duffel bags of cocaine and 5 or 6 boxes of cocaine were loaded on the plane in the presence of Hull, which Betzner brought back to Lakeland, Florida.

and george soros bought the obama election

Yes all politicians are corrupt and owe their election to their financial handlers--but that's another story all together.

My understanding from the article is that the poll was conducted in Ohio, but it doesn't say who was included (all persons over 18?, registered voters?, members of the Pachyderm Club?), not does it say how the questions were phrased. The whole thing is monumentally unlikely.

Republicans and Tea Party members over 50 years of age only.

They did the polling at Denny's at 3 pm

great americans

All good responses, but congo, yours made me laugh the hardest.

hey beautiful, glad i could make your day

; ) You know that I have a soft spot for people that label themselves "psychotic" on their profile. It is a liberal social worker thing.

i love you to ed

Very true. How do we make saving the world from depression count towards reelection?

if you hadent noticed we're kinda there without him

yeah we are and thanks to inheritance.

1984 would be a good place to be

Really? I have no fond memories. Minimum wage if you were lucky to get it. Massive FICA tax increase.

trusting and supporting are two different things. he may allegedly have america's best interest at heart but he's on the wrong path

You might manage that into a News question Post! Get some links about how many people wish Arnold were president regardless of the law, then make likn comparisons with the Birthers. Then question the bigotry angle. Probably three references/links. A great idea. Good thinking!

well ahnolds birth of origin is a well known fact so unless congress adopted a new law to allow someone born elsewhere to run it could never happen. in obamas case it hasent really been proven either way to everyones satisfaction. personally i feel whether obama is truly an american is a foot note in history. the country under his command has bigger problems than whether or not he's legally in office so i see that as a small issue at this point. someone really should have delved into that a couple years before the election. arnold by the way is a liberal in conservative clothing

only 20? then you have plenty of good years left to learn the truth and join the conservative party

I truly do consider myself to be a conservative at this stage of my life, but there's very little that see in the Republican party that I like or that I can embrace. Besides being a refuge for racism, their issues of American entitlement really scare the shit out of me.

The Republican party has the entire world angry with America.

What was all the mess supposed to mean?

LSD is a powerful substance

well that explains all the accedental key strokes... its hard to type when the keyboard is dancing on your computer desk.

WOW! Let’s mix Germen, Wrap, and British style slang, and some crazy use of English. He says Obama has done a good job and Bush sucked. Then he bags on the methodology and objectives of the conservatives. Damn, now wasn’t that easier to say? LOL!
Here comes the next generation. Better get out your Batman decoder ring. LMAO!!!

Don’t feel bad, everyone hates the “Rev.” I dinged you up, but I can understand you! I mean really Dude. Like you do have some sensible stuff to say. Would you like to share it with the rest of the class? LOL! Peace, rock on.

Translation: He thinks BrushwithDeathTootpast is an unimaginative ditto-head, George Bush butt kisser. Seriously! Just saying. Don’t kill the messenger now. Giggles!

hey, can i buy some of what youre on?

" hi on bumble be whispers " should be a group,....or a badge,....I suppose !
