Does Mitt Romney lack the empathy needed to be Commander And Chief?

They are rather famous gaffes... also operations in northern Pakistan were pretty skimpy in Bush's time. Incursions into northern PAK didn't happen in any serious useful way towards the goal of capturing (murdering) bin laden until Barracks presidency.



Perhaps induce vomiting on yourself and re-approach what I said... the president most likely had no legal/political/or pragmatic means to close Gitmo. Nice dodge... again. I'd estimate you at about %70+ dodges for every response you give.
Maybe... refer to the subject, quote me directly and form a response. You can try... or continue to express symptoms of intellectual dementia. Whenever you're ready.

really? so you are privy to the still classified information as to what was going on over there over the last 10 years?
 
So he DIDN'T give up was a gaffe?

Yeh kindergarten and crayons is nice.. whatever dude, if you actually believe what you say I'm at brain damage... but you don't.
So I'm at bad debater. :shrug:

Missions may have been skimpy but there was no policy that stated Bush gave up on getting Bin Laden.

...what is he some sort of robot? Like he's going to write down on an NSC memo that he's going to give up on bin laden. It's much more plausible the whitehouse faded on the effort after they went to **** vs fan control when Iraq turned into hell on earth.

One day you'll be able to answer that question.

Are you referencing an imaginary question you made up? So far for the last several pages I have affirmed that obama hasn't closed gitmo... unfortunately you're so politically stuck you cling virtually psychopathically to the concept that his inability to close gitmo was entirely dependent on him.
Would you cite unwillingness... political treason... please do inform us. :roll: I'm sure he did specifically to give you a reason to harass democrats... how cute.
Have a nice day.

me?
no?
I read the news... like... world news type news

...duh.


stick to local, the moustaches and bad jackets are very entertaining.

You should work on coherency, it's your weak suit.

Do only robots make policies?

Like he's going to write down on an NSC memo that he's going to give up on bin laden.
Ah... so your previous statement was baseless rhetoric. Understood.

It's much more plausible the whitehouse faded on the effort after they went to **** vs fan control when Iraq turned into hell on earth.
Iraq turned to hell on earth 6 months after the invasion. Apparently you were not paying attention during that time.



Are you referencing an imaginary question you made up?
Since I wrote it down and you're responding to it, it's not imaginary. Yet, you can't seem to answer.... awww... you mad brah?

Have a nice day.
I always have a nice day.
 
I absolutely love this silver spoon argument... Really?

So, given that Romney was born in the last century, there were 18 presidents, who had a total 54 kids... only 1 of them went on to become president... 1.8% (which even seems as a high percentage, with only 2 presidents' sons ever becoming president)

Then when you add that Romney wasn't a President's son, he was the son of Governor... who had 4 kids, and was 1 of 50 other governors at the time... If you take the list of the Governor's kids from around the time Romney was born, I'm sure you come up with less than a 1% chance of being successful, or being elected... (which again, regardless of who their parents were, they still need to be ELECTED)..

So he lived in a basement apartment off of selling stock from his dad... He's hardly the only person in America to have gotten stock from their parents... My neighbor's dad bought him stock in Disney early on, and they were far from being rich. Id say over 60% of the people in my neighborhood growing up had parents who purchased stock on their behalf... and/or invested in 529 plans for them when they were created... oR buy them cars or land, or whatever... That's not an oddity in America...

If you can't give credit to what Romney did in becoming successful you're a really low, pety, shallow, and jealous person... because Romney has proven excellence in leadership as a CEO of 2 separate businesses, 2 separate NGOs, and as a Governor... This wasn't some 1 time fluke my dad hooked me up with it occurance... He has done it time and time again, without a single occurance of failure... When elected he also didn't run in his father's state... he ran in a state halfway across the country in which he made his name known, not his father...

Barack Obama had a mother from a well connected family that was related to 6 presidents, and his dad was a high ranking official in the Kenyan government... He wasn't exactly some poor kid off the street...

Most presidents arent... Most presidents are quite wealthy, and usually as a result of other people's money... If you look to the two great heros of the Democrats in the last century, you have JFK and FDR... both who were raised in some of the richest families ever in the history of the country...

The fact that now they want to portray Romney as a rich elite who is out of touch with Americans is such a farse it's not even funny... If you look at the wealthist policians in the country... you don't find a problem with Democrats Jon Corzine, Jane Harman, Mark Warner, Jared Polis, and Jay Rockefeller... who all represented Democrats in Congress in recent years... Not to mention the 2004 Democratic candidate for president, John Kerry... who all have about the same net worth as Romney...

Lastly... what's wrong with being wealthy... We owe a lot of our current great institutions to the names of their great benefactors, who with their money were able to create such great institutions... such as Rockefeller, Vanderbuilt, Ford, Carnegie, etc.
 
Obama may have been well 'connected' still not a silver spoon, however.

It's political windbaggery because Romney has a larger declarable income but pays less in taxes.

Re: the first part... Obama got his first job out of college by being hooked up with it by Henry Kissinger, in what was a CIA front company... that's the power of being connected...

Romney's was with a company called Boston Consulting Group which recruited Harvard students and had no association with his father... he earned that spot, and through his success there he earned the spot at Bain... That's the power of excellent performance to make your way forward in life...

Re: the tax thing that just shows he's better at handling finances... which is exactly why we are going to elect him...

Silver appreciation has grown quite a bit in the past few years and spoons generally are used in some form in all civilizations. Income doesn't control the use of spoons but generally, people who use spoons pay taxes.

More 99 percenter hyperbole. I don't understand the concept of hating on the rich. Makes absolutely no sense to me. If we didn't have people like Romney in this country, this country wouldn't be the great place that it is. Just like if we didn't have the farmers that live near me we wouldn't have this great country. Everyone has a role and the "1%" play a big part in it. Stop being jealous and hating on people that have succeeded and be thankful for what you have. That you even have the computer and internet access to post about this subject says you're doing better than a lot of people.

On a different note, and not aimed at MK in particular. I would love to take some of these Occupy people and let them live in some of the conditions I've seen Afghani and Iraqi citizens live in. I think it would greatly improve their opinion of their circumstances. At least a homeless person in the US has a shelter to go to, soup kitchens to get a meal, and generous people to help them out. Try being homeless and beggin in one of those countries. It's a good way to get yourself mowed down by the local sheik's bodyguards.

WTF?! :lol:

Do you have a link for that?

stop misstating reality-Romney paid MORE in federal income taxes than Obama/Michelle MADE last year

what you are trying to claim is that Romney paid a lower effective tax rate on ONE KIND OF INCOME than Obama/Michelle Paid on ANOTHER FORM Of income

what.. i was trying to iterate a basic political joust as any layman would take it... i don't actually give a flying **** about the poop they throw at eachother in washington

eat it up.
 
WTF?! :lol:

Do you have a link for that?

You're not going to find a link on a covert appointment, FFS... You really are a fool... Do you think criminals and secret agents leave paper trails?

Obama wasn't directly hired by Henry Kissinger to Kissinger Associates, like Timothy Geithner... instead he was hired by an associate of Henry Kissinger, Zbigniew Brzezinski (NSA advisor to Carter) to work at Business International Corporation, which is a well known CIA front... but it was at the insistence of Kissinger... (who has always been Obama's greatest cheerleader...)

Then suddenly, as elected Obama is in the office, surrounding himself with CFR members (a dozen or so in his cabinet) who are well aware of Kissinger's plans on assisting the creation of the New World Order... and he's even sending Kissinger over to discuss policies to be coordinated with Putin...

You may think you're seeing turnover at the top levels of the US federal government, but you're not... you're seeing a puppet government where actors who all know each other and coordinate decisions behind closed doors just end up taking different seats each time around...

Barack Obama ran on "Change", and yet, it's all the same people... do you not get that? Kissinger, Rubin, Rezko, Soros, Brzezinski, Summers, etc... How many Goldman Sachs and Fannie Mae / Freddie Mac associates set up the economic recovery and the new guidelines to prevent what Goldman Sachs and Fannie Mae / Freddie Mac did to the economy? How many corportate benefits have Microsoft, GE, Google, etc. gotten from the Obama administration?

There are plenty of stories on this, you can do your own research... just from your political leanings and MO in the past, I can see you gravitating to the ones that say its a myth and that its been debunkt, but that's misquoting different pieces of the story...
