Obama is well liked and respected all over the world and I find this very important!. I was in Germany last year and people were really excited about Obama. I remember going to Germany in 2002 and some random dude came up to me and said "Your president is an idiot", I felt really ashamed of being from the USA and it was a rather awkward situation. Obama has been able to excite the entire world, something Bush was never able to do. Also, Europeans used to see Americans as a bunch of ignorant, uneducated dumbasses who elected Bush not once but twice. I feel like Americans are much more respected overseas than even a year ago, at least this is what I have noticed lately.
I was mowing the lawn earlier and some random dude stopped me and said "Isn't our president a moron". Do you believe me? About as much as I believe you.
You are the one that has a brain that actually has "tunnel vision" with your blind support. All I can say is I hope I don't see you or any of us in a food line one day, if I do, I'll wave at ya. Meanwhile I'll remain in my "freest" State.
When defeated on substance, move to the personal attacks. Typical.

I made this up just for kicks I was in Köln, I was wearing a baseball jersey and he knew I was not German because I have tanned skin. Germans speak their minds much more than we do and he was not rude or anything. I felt uncomfortable but I had to agree with him, most Germans hate Bush even today because more than 30 German soldiers died in Afghanistan.

Okie-dokie, Alaskapat. I can see your mind is impenetrable."Collective ownership" and "Alaskan residents own its resources" are your words. To deny the equivalency of those words takes a lot of twisting, indeed. Twist on, bro, twist on.
Personal attack? Read your above post. Enough said already! You believe what you want to and I will do the same.

Apparently, you're having difficulty with the meaning of "substance." I provided substance for my comments (which came from your words and definition). In response, all you did was say I had a tunnel-vision brain (whatever that means). Big difference.
I like seeing a President who addresses controversy head-on and tries to explain himself instead of what we'd grown used to.....
Hear, hear!

I won't accuse you of dishonesty unless I see you repeating this falsehood. Here is the truth:
Quote:
President Obama had a message for Republican critics who want to pin the country’s current economic woes on him: “That’s fine. Give it to me.”
With the nation’s unemployment rate near 9.5% -- a 26-year high -- Obama has come under increasing fire from detractors on the right, who say the massive $787 billion stimulus has done little to create jobs.
In a speech to a cheering crowd of more than 1,500 people, who waited for several hours in the hot sun at Macomb Community College to hear him speak, Obama said it was his administration’s job to get the economy back on its feet.
“It’s a job I gladly accept,” he said to applause. “I love these folks who helped get us in this mess. And then suddenly say, ‘Oh, this is Obama’s economy.’ That’s fine. Give it to me. My job is to solve problems -- not to stand on the sidelines and carp and gripe. So I welcome the job. I want the responsibility.”
Maybe that view was engrained by 20 years in Rev Wright's church screaming "blame whitie"
You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. I wonder how you'd hold up under the scrutiny of someone selecting an isolated statement you've made, couching it in their own prejudices, then repeatedly pounding it over and over and over. I know I wouldn't always look so good. I'd venture to guess, neither would you.

Haha... dcsldcd got OWNED with facts, yet again.
At some point the propaganda either runs out or goes to such an extreme that only the fringe can still hold on to it.
I believe we're nearing that point with the anti-Obama crowd.
I am not a Democrat or a Republican but I have to admit that I am proud of having Obama as the president. I do not agree with many of his ideas but it is cool to see an African American as president. I think from now on, most of our future presidents will be minorities and soon enough, we will have a Hispanic president.
It is refreshing to see an intellectual as president, compared to an ignorant, low IQ dumbass like Bush, I feel like we have made some progress and although I do not think Obama will be able to accomplish much in four years, he certainly challenged the status quo.
All things considered, I think some of his ideas are a bit radical but his presidency will be always remembered as a historic event. It gives me a lot of hope for the future of this nation and it would be cool having a Hispanic president elected in 2012.
Welcome to the future, America!
WTH are you babbling about...Obama has spent us into oblivion and I really dont give a rats azz about his race...All I care about is he stops spending tax dollars like a kid spending mommies money in a candy store!
