I don't blame him for making that statement. The ungrateful swine in this country do not deserve to have an honorable president who was honestly trying to make this country better and a first lady that is unquestionable a lady.

This democratic party has turned into the meanest bunch of people I have ever seen in my lifetime. Yes, it is time for you to tone it down. Where did you people learn to act so mean?
If conservatives would only treat our current President with respect...after all, he is the president of the United States.

Oh, and his wife is unquestionable a lady too...

Your post is a perfect example of thinly veiled hate directed at our current president.

That's the only thing I give him credit for. He took a lot of **** from people, and dind't pass the buck off to anyone unlike Obama where he has to constantly remind everyone it's Bush's fault. If he wins a 2nd term, I'm sure Obama is going to still say it's Bush's fault 7 years into his presidency (God, I hope he suffers the same fate as Carter) We need a Reagan in the GOP, not these useless talking heads being paraded around right now

I'm shocked to find out that NCN didn't vote for Bush.

Unvarnished truth:

Everything Bush messed up will always be his fault, no matter how many presidential administrations follow his disastrous term.

Someone with over 20,000 posts should be well aware that "mindless, idiotic threads" are the norm here on City Data, but then that's really not the source of your contempt now is it? Bush lovers are as transparent as their messiah is empty-headed.

I did extremely well under Bush.

So did many others who I got to know in the business world.

He needs to stop so the loons will lay off the attacks and blame him for the mess we are in today caused by liberals spending and mistakes.

Like him or not he was far better then the fool we have running the show now so I hope he lives his life without having to deal with HATEFUL left wingers attacking him all day long.

They have nothing good to post about the idiot lame duck in the WH so they have to make up stuff and go to Bluffington and Kooks websites to spew their daily hate rants.

If you happen to look at many of the new daily threads most of them are garbage trolling threads.

Historians commonly say that it takes 50 years to pass before an unbiased record can be written about anything and anybody.
Soooooooooo, one would deduce that the teachers you are speaking to could not be unbiased.

If you've been paying attention at all it should be obvious to you that 80-90 percent of the POC threads on any given day are troll threads: right wing trolls and left wing trolls endlessly and mindlessly duking it out. Very rarely does anybody post anything thought provoking or intellectually stimulating.
