Are there issues on which Obama is more conservative than Bush?
Corporate fascism:He signed the Monsanto Protection Act which gave "protection" to an entire industry from The Rule of Law, AND Judicial Oversight.Inside The 'Monsanto Protection Act'This is on a par with, and perhaps worse than, Shrubs treason in signing the "Patriot " Act! USA PATRIOT Act (H.R. 3162)This fiat "Law" directly and intentionally VIOLATES EVERY SINGLE one of the Bill of Rights Amendments to the US Constitution, along with a few Sections of the Constitution itself... Like the ones requiring OPEN Courts!. Patriot Act IIHe is pushing for the TPP and TTIP "trade treaties" to be approved by Congress without the Constitutionally mandated review. AND with absolutely zero disclosure to the Citizens (or ANY place at the table for Citizens) about what these laws do.These two bits of treason would entirely GUT ALL Food Safety Laws, Product Safety Laws and Financial Safety Laws by allowing multinational corporations to sue the US (for damages) for restraint of trade if our laws banned their products.They would require that our Safety Laws be reduced to the LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR WORLD-WIDE. TPP: A Deregulation Treaty Not A Trade TreatyThe TTIP: How a New Secret 'Trade' Treaty Could Put the World's Biggest Firms Beyond Government ControlHe REFUSED to demand ANY investigation of or prosecution of the criminal banks which tanked our economy by their fraudulent trading of derivatives and stole peoples homes by the use of fraudulently asserting possession of mortgage papers through the use of robo-signing of court pleadings. It's taken six long years of citizen demands for action before the first investigation and prosecution began. That resulted in a plea deal which fined the offender some 8% of the profits gained. The calls to (properly) apply RICO Laws have been entirely IGNORED.He did all these things knowingly and intentionally.In EACH CASE he has/had received Citizen petitions demanding that he NOT do them, WELL before he did/ continued to do them.I call his actions, when considered with his Oath of Office, to be TREASON against the Nation and against Her Consititution.Sign me:*UTTERLY DISGUSTED WITH TREASON BY THE BRIBED GOVERNMENT!*
Why are conservatives lying about how much Obama spent?
There is just SO MUCH disinformation among some of your responders! The Patient Protection and Affordable Health Care (PPACA, or "Obamacare") is paid for and even REDUCES THE DEFICIT over time, according to CBO figures. In his very first week, President Obama ADDED WAR COSTS into the budget figures to end the Bush/Cheney practice of keeping those costs hidden and off the books! The first NINE MONTHS of 2009 after President Obama was sworn in were the Bush/Cheney $1.09 TRILLION budget that ended on September 30, 2009! President Obama's FIRST BUDGET (according to Bloomberg News and Reuters) was for $.09 TRILLION LESS than that last Bush/Cheney budget---he CUT SPENDING by $90 BILLION! Prior to that first budget, he CUT SPENDING by $62 BILLION from the Bush/Cheney FY budget by canceling the Bush-ordered presidential helicopter fleet, and then cut even more by canceling the Cheney-ordered pork-barrel fleet of F-22 planes @ $365 MILLION PER PLANE! These cancellations sent more than $130 BILLION back to Treasury for a DEBT PAYDOWN! As to the Bush VETO: He did not veto ONCE when GOP was in totalitarian control from 2001 through to January 2007---his first VETO was for Democrat-proposed legislations trying to undo some of the GOP's damages.
Should Conservatives give Obama credit for killing Bin laden?
I’m a card carrying Republican who can't help but laugh at how my conservative brethren ignore what was accomplished. Even with Republican Robert Gates (Defense Secretary) by Obama’s side, we conservatives are still questioning our Commander in Chief and the results of this effort. Whether we like it or not, he is our President. Bottom line, this could have been an unbelievable disaster – like Carter’s operation Eagle Claw mission in Iran 1980 that forced that Donkey out of office. If this had failed, we conservatives would have roasted Obama, liberals and every Democrat for their ineptitude. Instead, it worked – so give the guy credit – by all accounts he took a gamble – a huge gamble. The Seals did the dirty work, but credit goes all around – no silly tomahawk cruise missiles fired from miles away like Clinton. Definition of Team Effort: Bush made a promise, put the wheels in motion and Obama followed through – PERIOD. This time, Obama put the country first – and it’s time we start doing the same. Start being Americans first!
Why are right-wingers so obsessed with Obama's birth certificate? Nobody has ever seen Dubya Bush's birth certificate.?
Just a distraction, like Benghazi and emails. Next will be Hillary's permanent record from 5th grade. All those things are important to conservatives. Ignoring intel so 3000 people die and starting two wars to kill another 6000 is minor in their wacky world.
Why did Iraq go downhill once Obama took office?
Iraq was an absolute hell hole BEFORE Obama took office. Even when our troops were there they could stop the sectarian violence that was occurring there and the situation got worse. None of this was Obama's fault, we can NOT control what happens in another country and if you think it was the paradise that Fox News tried to make it out to be you are brainwashed badly. Beside, we have no obligation whatsoever to intervene in the affairs of Iraq because it is not our problem. Did we really win the war, I doubt it. More right wing horsesh*t if you ask me. What is sad is how you conservatives want Obama to resign so badly, but that's not happening so deal with it. Don't forget you still terrorist havens like Somalia, Libya, Pakistan, Afghanistan (which we are still in) and the other places like Chechnya. Also, African countries too. Should we invade those places as well?...I don't think so.
Why Do Republicans Blame Obama for everything? Failed Terrorist attacks? The economy Bush handed him?
I just don't understand why Republicans are so Partisan.. Take an Event like 9/11. Democrats did not blast president Bush for the attack. Bushes approval rating shot up to 90%.. He had to have Bi-Partisan Support from both parties to sky rocket in the polls like that. Do you think Republicans would stand behind Obama if an event like that happened on his watch? Republicans attacked obama on Fox News for the Failed Christmas Day bomber, For the failed Time square bomber?? There were " Truthers " on both sides, and many members of the Congress and the Senate... Including ex president Bill Clinton Defend Bush against Truthers.. Why Didnt anyone on the right, in a position of Power stand up for Obama over the " Bither" Conspiracies? I Mean, Republicans controlled Congress under the first 6 years of Bush's watch.. When the Democrats took over, they added a total of half a trillion in New Debt from 2006-2008. In the 6 years prior to that the Republican's with bush Added a whopping 4.5 Trillion dollars in Debt.. That's like 5 ObamaCares. What is wrong with the Republican Party? I mean they want to pretend like they know what their doing and are the responsible ones? When The Republican president stepped down in 2009 we were losing Near 1 Million Jobs a month.. Suddenly The Tea Party Shows up in March to Blame Obama for the Economy LOL.. It's just crazy
