No they didn't - we haven't had a declaration of war since
WWII.

It was Eisenhower who sent us to Korea w/o declaration,
and that set the standard for Vietnam, Desert Storm, Iraq, Afghanistan
giving powers to Presidents they can't have.

It's the apathy of America that allows it to still happen.
They think we are dumb and I agree.

He has divided this nation along racial lines to the likes we have not seen in more than 60 years. It is everyone for himself based on race, sex, wealth. Do what is good for you and not what is good for the country or future generations. Not exactly a success story huh?

Actually NO again.. The loss of 750,000 jobs a month ended before Obama spent a dime..

Actually, it was Truman that sent the troops to war in Korea. Ike said if he got elected he would bring an end to that war and he did. Well a peace treaty which is the best anyone can get from North Korea.

The Obamabots are getting crushed. They should probably quit rather than be embarrassed by more FACTS.

Bush went to Congress with it, Obama did not.

Golly gee whiz.

You fellas sound a wee little bit bitter.

In all likelihood, the economy will be better in four years and the brainless middle east wars will be history.

In other words, much of the horrid damage caused to our country by the last GOP administration will be mostly mended. By then there will be no more need for all of this right wing anger and fear. Unless you tune in to Fox and Limbaugh. I have no doubt they'll have some more phony outrage to peddle.

But it WILL be phony

This doesn't make sense to me.

It appears the president campaign brought together people from different ethnicities both 08 and 2012. The DNC looked like a mini America 2050. Diversity is the future of our nation and president Obama embrace it.

The republicans and tea partiers made their main focus to make sure Obama was a one term president.. They kept linking him to Jeremiah Wright and saying that he was in a racist church, a Muslim and a atheist. Which one is it? The RNC resembles a klan rally in both demographics and the way they treated some of the blacks in the building.

The only people who are saying president Obama is divisive are older whites who don't like Obama because he is Black due to their own inferiority complex. Normal everyday people can look and see that isn't the case.

America has been diverse for a very, very, long time.
Since way before you were born.

It's the attention brought to it that divides.
Keeps us from just being one together.


Many stepped to the DNC table to see what their interest was offered, not what was good for the country in it's interest.
