Obama administration: Toss wiretap lawsuit

Obama's foreign policy has not been GWB's "to the tee". There are many things that Obama has done that I do not agree with, but to try to argue he is identical to GWB is ridiculous.

Can you provide some metal to this or...should I take your word for it?

Cuz as far as foreign policies are concerned, minus the waterboarding issue...he's exactly identical.

Not even close. Why do you think this? Care to provide some metal to this or should I take your word for it?

Woa. A gamer!

Patriots Act, warrantless wirtetapping, following the Iraqi SOFA agreement to the tee, surging in Afghanistan, the rendition of foreign prisoners, the expansion of the prison at Bagram, the fact that he argued in court to detain enemy combatants without rights or even the ability to challenge their own detentions, Gitmo remains open, he continues to refuse to negotiate with Hamas or Hezbollah unless the recognize Israel, and continues to allow Israel to build Settlements on the West Bank and sell them weaponry.

Exact same policies, your turn.:)

The VP would be elevated. The USA was not left presidentless after the Lincoln or Kennedy assinations or after Nixon resigned.

So if Prez Doofus were to be impeached, Biden would become President. That's about the best insurance Doofus could have. :shock:

Biden would not be a potent executive. He's a diplomat and a student of foreign politics, not a president. It's not like either of the VP that succeeded those two were particularly brilliant, either.

Doesn't matter what kind of job they did or he would do, the USA voted them into office knowing they would be elevated if the top guy took the dirt nap.

Anywho, Biden couldn't do a worse job than Prez Doofus and would probably be much more entertaining. :joke:

I doubt highly that Obama is so morally bankrupt that he would authorize engaging in waterboarding or other form of torture. If he did, that would pretty much seal it in my book. But Obama has come out strongly against these reprehensible tactics and rightfully so.

He is a Chicago politician, I don't think morals come into the picture at all. I wouldn't be surprised if he authorized the use of torture.
