Bloody hell.

I think it's got more to do with his crappy politics than because he's half black. Wishful thinking on your part.

You can't put that many people out of work and not expect to piss some folks off.
 
Nobody lost a job because of Bush's economic policies though.

That's just a ridiculous claim. Do you ACTUALLY believe what you wrote...or were you just caught up in trying to justify it someway in your right-wing beliefs?

Oh, ye of the selective memory and zero understanding of economics...

If anything were to happen to Obama, it would tear this country apart. The GOP would be obsolete for a decade...

The President, our president, must be protected and kept safe at all times--agree with his politics or not, if you don't understand this basic concept of Government, then I feel sorry for you. I would say the same about Bush--especially considering who was number 2.

But, humor us all with your explanation of how it was Obama who caused the recession that started before he began running for president. I would love to hear that!!

That's it! He's got a time machine! That's how they published those birth announcements in the Honolulu newspaper. Quick, call WND and tell them your theory. Better call Dobbs, too.

You keep thinking that...:roll:

True, but folks have got to remember the economic problems this country face didn't start under President Obama's administration. All of it was under the Bush administration. So, to blame the current president for the former president's problems is - in a word - stupid!!

Nobody lost a job because of Bush's economic policies though.
:doh That's because former President Bush didn't have an economic policy. He let things go unchecked domestically!!

A few, but no where in the millions like what's happening now.

You say that as if you believe that the unemployment rate hasn't doubled since PBO took office.

And, what does the neccessity of protecting the president have to do with the economy? Kinduva silly way to start out, personal attack and all.

Anyway, I agree that PBO getting wacked would be terrible. The most horrible thing that could happen. Not only would it cause unprecedented civil unrest in this country, it turn that goofball into a friggin martyr. Trust me, that's the last thing I want to see. And, then, Biden will be our prez. OMG, that's second only to PBO being thrust into martyrdom.

How did PBO damage the economy? Well, let's see...cap and trade, the porkulus bill, the UAW bailout, CFC; and that's only in the last 5 months. I can't imagine how much damage the so called healthcare reform is going to do the working class.

But, ultimately, it wasn't PBO who caused the recesssion. On that, you're correct. It was Congressional Democrats who caused the recession. It was folks like Barney Frank that created the housing bubble, knowing damn good and well what would happen when it burst. I mean, they had to sabotage the economy. It was the only way they were going to get elected.

Trust me, I will. ;)

Please post examples of Bush policy that killed the economy, with sources and please, be specific. Calling Bush stupid really isn't proof of anything. Thanks in advance.

Examples with sources please? Thanks.
 
Oh, and while we're on the subject and since most of the posts on this thread have called me a dumbass, show us what PBO policies have fixed the economy. I know I've asked for a lotta info, but it will be very interesting to see, if you can find it.

Oh ye of little knowledge or understanding of current events and economics...

And again with the short term memory!! You better get that checked out.:2razz:

No sources to support your contention that Bush caused the recession?
 
You know what pisses me off? The fact that many rightwing ditto-heads are hoping that one of these death threats will be successful.

That's a vicious lie and you know it. You're smarter than that.

Notice that I quickly edited so as not to flame any members here but, yes I believe that. Limbaugh, Hannity, Colter, Malkin....thousands of nameless fringe radicals would like to see him dead. Come on, convince me I'm wrong.

Nameless fringe radicals, yes. Just like there were nameless fringe radicals that wished for Bush's death.

However, I dare you to show me where any of the formentioned have, even remotely, suggested, wish, cheered, pushed, hinted at, or otherwise condoned anyone doing harm to the president. Looking forward to hearing back on that one.

You know what pisses me off? When partisan hacks such as yourself pull completely absurd notions that they can't back up out of their ass.

Proof?

Sure, I"m sure there are numerous extreme whack jobs that honestly want a death threat to be successful

There were also numerous extreme whack jobs that honestly wanted the death threats on Bush to be successful. I actually remember specifically one poster here mentioned in the shoe thread how it was "unfortunante" (I think was the word) that it wasn't a grenade instead.

Classlessness and ignorant nastiness is hardly a trait exclusive to the right, so what's your point?

That's not how it works, sparky. You made the claim, and now you have to back it up. Please, show a quote where one of the people you listed said that they would like to see Obama dead.
 
I just thought about something. Not only were there fringe Leftists that wanted Bush dead, but fringe Righties, too. I wonder how many Lefties PBO has to worry about.
 
Do the people who actually attack presidents generally send threats first?

You reflect the hatred that is in your own heart.

I didn't call Dub-Yah stupid (although I don't think he's the brightest tool in the shed). I said it was stupid to blame President Obama for problems that originated under his predecessor.
Examples with sources please? Thanks.
There are no examples to give because as I said, Dub-Yah didn't have an economic policy. He was content with letting things go unchecked as they were until the bottom fell out. Only then at the 11th hour did he attempt to do anything about it. But by then it was too late. The buddle had already burst.

They never have, as far as I know, but there's always a first time for everything and that is why every threat must be treated as an imminent attack on the president.

I accept your surrender. You may keep your sword. Carry your colors home, with pride.
