Has 0bama expanded the Patriot Act?
Yes. He's completely inflated it!!
If Obama were 100% white, would he have been hailed as FDR for saving our nation from the second Great Depression?
The question presumes a level of racism to exist in the country, when the fact that the country elected a man of mixed race who claimed to be black was elected twice to the presidency shows otherwise. It can be argued that Obama won because he was black.Obama lacked the political and personal skills that FDR had. FDR conveyed a warmth to the American people that Obama did not. FDR knew how to work with Republicans to get things done, but Obama was not able to make the connections (it can be argued on both sides for blames here). FDR did get things done.There is plenty of disagreement that New Deal policies during the Great Depression helped end it. More than anything, the rearming of the European powers in the late 1930's and their purchasing of arms from the US, as well as final US involvement after the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, did more than anything to end the Great Depression. My grandfather was a farmer/farm hand during the 1930's and from what I understand, he, and many others believed FDR's policies made things worse for the farm economy--not better. I would have to disagree with you on both counts.
Is this the most dangerous man in the world right now?(It's not Obama)?
You are a smart guy; Soros is the money behind the actions. We need to focus on Soros, but good luck finding anything on him. He owns the print.
Why does Obama need 69 staffers ($4.2 million a year & 47 more than GWB) to spread his propaganda and lies?
Obama's White House message machine employs 69 people who are directly involved in some part of the communications effort, at a cost to taxpayers of at least $4.3 million a year. That's an increase from 47 in Bill Clinton's White House and 52 in George W. Bush's. Those totals don't include communications staffs at the National Security Council or in Vice President Joseph Biden's offices, or support staff who are paid out of different accounts.
What is “the problem” President Obama was talking about when he said Trump is just “a symptom”?
What is “the problem” President Obama was talking about when he said Trump is just “a symptom”?People, like me, whose faith in the federal government and politicians is so low, and our cynicism so high, that we celebrate gridlock at the federal level. Nothing getting done is better than something getting done that will probably cost more than they said it would, create other problems in its wake, and not fix the original problem it was supposed to fix.Yes, I’m* the problem Obama was talking about.I’m sure a lot of Quorans would agree with him. It’s cool. I don’t take it personally.One of the issues I have with Obama’s recent speeches is that he keeps coming back to a point a lot of liberals believe, and it just makes them look very arrogant: their worldview is inevitable, people who resist them are going to be on the wrong side of history, and their resistance is based in racism, sexism, bigotry, or homophobia.I’ve read similar things from other liberals, including on Quora. Variations of “what we’re seeing now is the last gasps of conservatism before it dies the inevitable death it deserves, because liberalism, as defined by us, is inevitable, and history will look at contemporary conservatives the same way they look at Nazis and Confederates: evil forces that needed to be defeated and were on the wrong side of history.”Ever the political pragmatist I am, I encourage liberals to keep doing whatever they’ve been doing for the last ten years. It’s working well for the Republicans.*And the other half of the voting populace that thinks like me.
Does President Obama play a musical instrument?
Obama doesn't seem to be good at anything. Likes basketball, he throws a mean airball when he plays himself. Baseball, the girl pants fit with the way he throws. Highly doubtful he has ever taken the time to play a musical instrument.
If Americans had to choose between Trump or Jimmy Carter as president, who would they choose and why?
I honestly do not know.Unfortunately, too many Americans are brainwashed into believing leftist nonsense or just are very naive . Even some “conservatives” still believe Carter is a decent politician. I do not.I do know that his stubborn rejection of reality exacerbated the Iranian and Afghani problems - and that makes him partially responsible for spread of Islamo-Nazism. I do know that if he was re-elected in 1980, the Soviets most likely would have attacked NATO troops in Europe as they viewed Carter as a feckless coward.Carter knows he is wrong about siding with Islamo-Nazi terrorists and vilifying Israel. When his grandson needed Jewish votes in Atlanta, Jimmi publicly apologized for his “stigmatizing Israel. So he knows he is wrong,Jimmy Carter to U.S. Jews: Forgive me for stigmatizing IsraelLater, he continued his disgusting propaganda.When 0bama won the perks of WH in 2008, I reconciled myself that as an ultimate hedonist, too busy with his own pleasures, he will cause less damage than expected. With Carter, the harm would be much worth.As any government is a necessary evil, Trump is obviously a lesser one. Trump all the way vs. Carter.
