So what is it about when the opening line is BS?

Crisis? Get a clue, Libya is not our crisis!

And the big bad wolf blew down the little piggies house of cards. Swallow your misplaced pride, admit your error and move forward (for a change).

The UK press is talking about it, just wait till serious discussions start about this in the American media.

Jsut this week I learned on this forum Obama conrols the costs of the global food and oil supply. Also, before he leaves the President's chair, he's going to make America Islamic, Communist and Socialist. In 2 years.

I'd say that was pretty powerful.

This is about comparing President Obama to other presidents from the past, considering this IS about history. No? I remember well that President Bush called Gaddafi the "model in the Middle East" that others ought to mimic. No?

So, what would be an acceptable solution to the crisis according to you?

We've known about oil problems since the shortages of the '70s, we have no one to blame for not addressing them but ourselves.

It's about the fact that Skippy waits a week before he responds to WHATEVER is going on--be it Libya, the BP spill, the underwear bomber, etc. I personally think his handlers need to be more proactive and tell him what to say earlier.

But hey....at least he got his bracket picks in! That's the important thing.

I agree...

We need to drill.

Another Obama failure.

[quote=sanrene;18331155]He is by far the weakest, but it comes from his radical, liberal ideology. He is on the side of people and issues Americans are usual against.

He is an embarrassment for the US.

Who knew THIS is what he meant when he said he would "transform" this great nation?

Who knew THIS is what he meant when he said he would "reset" relationships abroad (that really never needed resetting)?[/quote]


Those who did not vote for him knew. How anyone could have thought a junior Senator who for the most part only voted 'present" would be able to handle the pressures of the office of president is beyond me. Obviously since he won there were alot who thought he could handle it and bring change.
