It would be nice if all of the world liked the United States, but this is the real world it aint going to happen. I personally dont care what the rest of the world thinks of us. I would rather be feared than admired, that is what the radical muslims understand anyway. I also dont think that the congress should be a PR firm for the US we elected tham to make this country better And that is a job that they have failed miserably. Yes GW has a terrible approval rating but if you check the congress has a worse rating.
I also worry about Barack's ideas about supreme court judges with a Democrat congress he could easily add more Ginsburgs and Souters rendering decisions that we will have to live with forever.
While I do not want to discuss this for 10 days and nights I do have one question for Barack supporters.
"Just tell me one thing Barack Obama has done that you admire,"
1. In this new world with our technology and world economy the US can not be a lone wolf. We need other countries to succeed. We also need other countries to buy American goods which they don't, we need other countries to sell us oil which to keep prices low to stop hurting the working poor.
1a. We need to start to make relations with countries such as Iran to keep the world peaceful through talking and not through made up wars filled of lies a deceit of the American public.
2. If you look at history the senate's approval rating democrat or republican lingers well below 50%. The reason for this is because of its bipartisan politics.
The democrats cannot get anything through the senate because King Bush will veto it. Any news organization will tell you that the republicans are set to loose about 20 more seats in the house and 5 to 7 seats in the senate and those are conservative numbers. I do not think the Americans are placing blame on the newly elected democrats.
2a. Bush has the lowest approval rating of any president including Jimmy Carter in more than 65 years. He was put there by the people to uphold our ideals and make this country better. He has simply not done that and is the worst president in my lifetime (Yes Jimmy Carter was also terrible). Bush's big screw ups:
a. Iraq War
1. Took focus of Afghanistan
2. Did not find Bin Laden
b. Economy
1. A whole lot more poor people today
c. Katrina
d. Budget Deficit
e. Huge tax breaks to the richest 1%
f. Movement towards more censorship
g. Increase in poverty in the US.
1. Took school lunch programs away from poor kids
h. Environment policies or lack there of
ha. No effort into getting renewable energy resources
I. No Child Left Behind
J. Raised the tax credit for vehicles 6000 or larger for small business from 25k to 100k. Hence all the Hummers and Excursions on the road
k. Foreign Relations
l. I could go on for 100 more but I my fingers are getting tired
3. You already are saying that Obama would make poor Supreme Court choices. Don't make me bring up Harriet Myers who her own party did not even support. We have lawyers on this forum that were more qualified.
4. Obama Achievements:
A. Hope Act
b. The Coburn-Obama Government Transparency Act of 2006
c. The Lugar-Obama Nuclear Non-proliferation and Conventional Weapons Threat Reduction Act
d. The 2007 Government Ethics Bill
e. The “Democratic Republic of the Congo Relief, Security, and Democracy
I realize not all of these passed but I agree with all of them in principal and no I have not read them cover to cover to give you full disclosure.
Bush is the worst president in my lifetime nobody is a close second. Hopefully in November we do elect change as the motto says. I don't want this country in 100 years of war in the Middle East.
Besides Obama is going to destroy McCain in the debates and like I said before the gap will start to widen.
Its sad to say the most powerful country in the world can only muster up these two individuals to run it ! Whats even sadder is they were voted in by whom ?
