Obama: "Leadership Isn't Just Legislation"

Good job explaining your point. :applaud
There's no need - that "right" might be subjective doesn't affect what I said.
GWB did what he thought was right. The liberals thought it was wrong. When you're doing what you think is right, you dont care if people who are wrong think you are wrong.
:shrug:

That is exactly what I said. You said something different the first time around...

Its more the case that he went to war, knowing that the liberals would not like it, because it was the right thing to do.
If somone opposes the right thing, then they are, by definition, wrong.

Here you said that going to war was "right", not simply in the mind of you and GWB, but universally speaking, as if "right" were absolute. And by that standard, if the war was "right" universally, then those who opposed it (liberals) would be wrong. Now however, you appear to have been convinced by my argument and acknowledge that "right" is only relative and not absolute. Therefore we should be able to take your last sentence and replace the words GWB and liberals with Obama and conservatives and it should still stand as logical.

"Obama did what he thought was right. The conservatives thought it was wrong. When you're doing what you think is right, you dont care if people who are wrong think you are wrong.
 
That Obama thinks he is doing the right thing? Yea, I agree with that.

You must then also agree that there was nothing wrong with GWB, who was doing the right thing, ignoring the liberals in doing so.
 
God. He thinks it's his failure to sell his vision??? No matter how he dressed up that pig, no sale to a vast majority of the American people. He still doesn't get it.
