This is actually a very funny show. In this episode, you can hear obama talk about how they curse, and use foul language in meetings. I know some of you are over sensetive to the idea of trump using foul language. perhaps hearing that one of your idols do it while suggesting many world leaders are insane will give you guys some peace. :peace



A very beautiful car as well.

The use of curse words doesn't bother me one bit. Calling other countries **** holes didn't bother me at all. In fact I haven't commented on it as of now. I really don't care. I don't care if Obama used cursed words or not. I doubt that Trump or any other president can ever overcome LBJ in the use of foul language. No big deal. What I don't like is this, well so and so president used them, so its okay for my president to do the same.

Fact is using curse words is very un-presidential. LBJ was very adept not to use them when speaking to the American People or when recording devices were around. But he would cuss out senators, representatives, members of his own administration. Trump's approval or non-approval rating isn't suffering because of his policies or stances on the issues. It's below 40% because of his persona, his very un-presidential behavior, his temper tantrums via twitter. People as a whole don't like that. That is outside of his avid supporters.

The American people are pretty split evenly on his policies, a list of 16 issues showed on seven of them, Americans approved vs. nine in which they opposed Trump policies and stances. That should translate into roughly a 50% job approval, favorable view of Trump. It doesn't. His persona, his uncouthness, his unbecoming behavior, words, actions isn't what people look in a president.

How this will translate out come the midterms later this year, time will tell. But I would wager it will be Trump's persona, his very unpresidential behavior that will give the democrats congress. Not necessarily Trump policies.

Two notes:

1. Both politicians and the American people are getting more and more polarized all of the time. Part of Trump's lower approval ratings are due to the resistance being at an unprecedented 100%.

2. It would be interesting to see how LBJ would have fared in this very high tech world of today.

Trump using curse words is not the problem

Using them to describe other countries in company that could allow what he said to be released to the public is.

Regardless of whether or not they are sh__holes, the US has some military, economic interests in those countries. By saying those words and seeing them leaked will hurt US interests

I would agree with you if Trump did a speech and outright said, XXX country is a ****hole....

but he didn't... it was an internal meeting discussing topics in private to the public. And only unethical reporters and unethical people would try to make this a big deal. All it does is intentionally hurt the US and the President's image. That is the whole point of this story.

Why publish this story? When the very act of publishing the story is what will damage the reputation of the president and the country? The publishing of the story does the very thing it tries to portray it's preventing. I bet there is a lot of flippent language behind closed doors in all aspects of our government, from the military onwards that if it was presented to the public as if it was some kind of public announcement would of course be inappropriate.

The President should be a able to speak plainly in confidence among his own fellow American statesmen so that his words do not leak out of context to intentionally damage the reputation of the United States.

What if President Obama had an internal spat about some random Prime Minister in Europe that was meant to be closed conversation? And then there were a few of his fellow American snakes in the room that chose to use this story to cause the US to lose an important ally?
Who's it on, the unethical publishing of the story or the President himself? With absolutely no allegiance to the United States, no proper context of the statement, no thought of the consequences other than trying to sabotage the sitting president and in turn the USA itself

...I think it's on the unethical publishing of the story and those intentionally using international media to hurt the reputation of the President.

There's is a difference if there was some kind of conspiracy that the President was a part of, and the media is trying to expose it for the greater good.... but this is actually taking an actual truth(these countries are ****holes) in closed conversation, meant for closed conversation, and taking advantage of the non-PC, direct atmosphere for political sabotage.
 
Re: Obama's use of curse words

Who cares about the words he used. I sure as hell don't.
The intent and the policy behind the intent is more important to me. But whatever focus on 1 word if you need to.
 
Re: Obama's use of curse words

No I did not

But again, it is harmful to US interests for that to get out

Calling the head of the German government a bad name is fine, just dont expect that person to be agreeable in the future towards policies the US would like to see implemented

Germany kicked in more nato money after that. so, there's that.....
 
Re: Obama's use of curse words

How much more money has Germany sent to Nato

As it stood for 2016 Germany only puts in 300 million or so to fund Nato
 
Re: Obama's use of curse words


Defense spending is different than funding Nato

https://www.defensenews.com/global/...hback-from-gemany-on-nato-spending-after-all/

COLOGNE, Germany — A NATO-wide plan to increase defense spending is fueling a new kerfuffle in Europe’s economic powerhouse of Germany, where parties are still trying to craft a new government following last fall’s election.

After talks failed in November with the smaller Free Democratic Party and the Green Party, Angela Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union now plans to negotiate with the Social Democratic Party, the country’s second-strongest force and current coalition partner, about continuing the existing pact.

But both parties have grown apart over how much money NATO member Germany should spend on defense.

what a dumb ****ing post. You got all buthurt about people and useless threads on obama for years. meanwhile you are dead silent on all the ****ing dumb threads on trump. perhaps your hypocrisy is so internal to your nature you don't notice how much of a weak willed (never post your own opinions), hyper-partisan you are.


sad!

I never claimed politicians are my idols. I never claimed I was OK with this language. I never claimed it was wrong when Trump did it but OK when everyone else does it. Others might have, but I didn't.

Why do you cry whenever people post things that do not fit your narrative?
 
Re: Obama's use of curse words

Could you imagine being so dishonest that after numerous threads you still think the problem people have with the ****hole comment is that Trump cussed?

Another dumb ****ing post. Anything on the topic or is The Good Reverend all you can fantasize about?

He bashed other world leaders, admits to it. could you imagine calling people dishonest when it turns out you were the dishonest one? Seems you don't have to.

I don't think it's out of the realm of possibilities that ***thole is the nicest term some of the people use in closed door sessions.

You genuinely think people are most offended about Trump using a bad word? Just think about that for a second. It can't possibly be about the fact that he doesn't understand why we should allow people to immigrate from "****hole" countries, or the diplomatic implications of using that term to define the continent of Africa and various countries. If Trump does something bad just admit it. If you don't think he did something bad then what is the point of saying Obama used a bad word too?

I think people get offended by what the MSM tells them to get offended by.


Remember when Obama said "my muslim faith"?


A bunch of right wingers made a huge issue out of it. the left rigthfully mocked them for it. the media mocked them for it.


Now you have the the same left throwing a collective tantrum over ****hole countries being called ****holes and whether he said "I" or "i'd" over n. korea.


The reason I posted this thread is obama clearly admits to the same language. The difference is no one leaked it, and the media didn't make a huge issue out of it. The fact that the left are raging hypocrites now should not be lost on you if you are an objective person.

I don't care about how nice the term is. That is so far from the issue it is in a completely different galaxy. The issue is that Trump seemed confused as to why we allow people to immigrate to the United States from countries that are considered ****holes. That flies in the face of the history of this country. Every single mass immigration to this country came from countries that were probably considered ****holes at the time. We didn't turn them away, and they in fact helped to build the most powerful country on the planet. I am more than happy to just chalk this up to another dumbass thing Trump said, but the way his fans are contorting over this is just insane.
 
Re: Obama's use of curse words

Who cares about the words he used. I sure as hell don't.

I care. I'm an American citizen but my family is from Haiti. We're all incredibly insulted.

The African Union cares, they help us with the war on terror...

Donald Trump must apologise for comments - African Union

I don't care about cursing. Trump is not just cursing, he's INSULTING countless nations.

We're a rich country but most of the world is poor. It's just disgusting for us to be looking down and insulting poor countries. This is villainy, plain and simple.

Trump makes fun of a disabled man and mocks the poor in the third word. He's a villain.

Alright, so the language is similar. What is the difference?
