If he had been pro-Bush, he would have sent some troops to Iraq, but he didn't.

Wrong.

I was and many of us were against many things Bush did.

Obama has EARNED his stripes with his job performance.

What you wont see if pro Obamaites ever saying he is doing something wrong.

What you did see is Pro Bush people who disagreed with him on many, many occasions.

I liked Bush for many reasons and disagreed with him as well but it had ZERO means to why I do not agree with Obama.

Just to correct you.

The fact is backwards and easy to see even on CD

Pro Obama people are the radical anti Bush people for sure.

Easy to see here for sure. What you will never understand is the fact the even the strongest Bush supporters had the guts to disagree with him on certain issues, you wont find very few if any Pro Obama people who will go against him on ANY ISSUE.

It is not an exaggeration - especially considering that fact that Obama is far more popular overseas than he is at home.

Educate up, baby!
Start looking for non partisan polls, you know the ones that aren't set up to support a desired outcome. Obama is not admired by even the minority of other countries. Even if you attempt government math and make it to one billion (a real stretch) that would leave six billion who don't like him.

Oops.

Get a real education, not one from a liberal diploma factory.

Based on your post, it seems you want him to just run around the world making everybody happy (no doubt you would attack him for doing that, though).
That is exactly what he is trying to do so it would logically follow if we don't like it we would want him to stop. You seem to have a logic disconnect.

Quote:
When Obama makes a strategic unilateral decision that a missile defense shield is not a necessary use of our money and our military, and it annoys countries that were going to get a boatload of money from us unnecessarily, you hold it against him?
He made a unilateral decision in direct opposition to the advice of his military staff, without consulting congress. It should annoy you since it is the action a dictator would take. And before you attack, no, I did not just call him a dictator.

Quote:
People like him because they respect him. He doesn't go around begging for their affections. But, let's be honest - Obama can't win with you. No matter what he does, you will attack him for it. What's the point of discussing it?
[/quote]

People like him because he is a snake oil salesman. Nobody can pin him down to an actual commitment. He equivocates on every decision and shifts blame to others rather than accept it himself.

BTW, he does go around the world begging for affection. Even with his begging though, people are seeing through him and starting to dismiss him as the lightweight he is.

So, how did he show he was so pro-Bush? Isn't the point of this thread to somehow prove he is anti-Obama because he is not sending more troops to Afghanistan? By using the same logic, he was also anti-Bush because he didn't sent troops to Iraq either.
