Bangkoktraveler Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 mormons believe blacks are children of the devil.....not a reason to hate them but laugh at them. oh and the special underpants they wear are kind of humerous! I was thinking of starting a business where we would manufacture and sell the magic underwear. I got a feeling everybody is going to have to wear the magic underwear.

Steve Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 once again Ohio has become vital. Romney needs it to have any chance and even with it he needs a lot of other things to happen. Obama wins Ohio he wins b.asically. That and Virginia and its over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Really a great system we have ... the people of Ohio get to choose our presidents. We could save a lot of money and just hold campaigns in Ohio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Oliver Stone's new book rips President Obama A new book from filmmaker Oliver Stone offers a scathing critique of President Barack Obama’s time in office. Stone, who wrote “The Untold History of the United States†with historian Peter Kuznick, puts forth a liberal interpretation of American history from the turn of the last century to present day. The 618-page book, slated for release Tuesday - a week before Election Day - from Gallery Books, slams Republicans and Democrats alike, and the authors’ assessment of Obama’s presidency is tinged with disappointment. “The country Obama inherited was indeed in shambles, but Obama took a bad situation and, in certain ways, made it worse,†Stone and Kuznick wrote. “…[R]ather than repudiating the policies of Bush and his predecessors, Obama has perpetuated them.†Obama’s election “felt like a kind of expiation for the sins of a nation whose reputation had been sullied, as we have shown throughout this book, by racism, imperialism, militarism, nuclearism, environmental degradation and unbridled avarice,†they wrote. But on subjects from Wall Street reform to health care to Afghanistan, Stone and Kuznick rip Obama for breaking campaign promises and continuing the policies of President George W. Bush — who is roundly condemned throughout the book. In some instances, they write, Obama went further than Bush’s White House toward anti-progressive policies. “Obama asserted presidential power in ways that must have made Dick Cheney jealous,†they wrote. “In 2011, Obama defied his own top lawyers, insisting that he did not need congressional approval under the War Powers Resolution to continue military activities in Libya,†they continued, in their write-up of Obama’s handling of intervention in that country. An accompanying documentary series is set to air on Showtime starting Nov. 12. Stone said in 2008 that he backed Obama, but earlier this year said that he would support GOP Rep. Ron Paul over Obama if he could. The biting criticism from Stone and Kuznick includes: - On Wall Street reform: “The biggest winner under Obama was Wall Street.†- On a troop surge in Afghanistan: “When it finally came down to decision time, Obama didn’t have the courage or integrity of a post-Cuban Missile Crisis John F. Kennedy. He settled on a 30,000-troop increase, giving the military leaders almost everything they wanted and more than they expected.†- On civil liberties: “Among the greatest disappointments to his followers was Obama’s refusal to roll back the expanding national security state that so egregiously encroached on American civil liberties.†- On ‘imperialism’: “[He] was not offering a decisive break with over a century of imperial conquest. His was a centrist approach to better managing the American empire rather than advancing a positive role for the United States in a rapidly evolving world.†- On defense spending: “While cutting defense spending, pulling combat forces out of Iraq and beginning the drawdown in Afghanistan represented a welcome retreat from they hypermilitarism of the Bush-Cheney years, they did not represent the sharp and definitive break with empire that the world needed to see from the United States.†USA Today Politico Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobbledonk Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Stone's own problems are pretty well documented - I wouldnt damn Obama on the basis of anything that guy wrote. Watching the footage from the 'Super Storm' here this afternoon our time and its pretty surreal. They dragged the newscrew down to Times Square to tell us that 3 million people are without power, yet the famous neon signs still blaze into the NYC night, surrounded by blocks of blacked out skyscrapers. WTF ? No-one there to see it other than emergency personnel and media, but presumably the advertisers have some kind of penalty in place for any 'downtime'. Only in America.

Steve Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Lets say i agree with his assessment of Obama, is Romney an improvement. Obama ghs being critiqued for not being progressive enough essentially. I dont see any thing Republicans can say to counter except they will keep their promise to be less progressive.

Obama was never a progressive. I remember German commentators saying this before the election when Obama visited Berlin and 200.000 enthusiastic people showed up to listen to him. The commentarors basically said that from a European point of view that he is a conservative. And basically he is with some liberal elements in regard to health care, gay- and women rights.
