I am not as angry as you make me out to be. I am passionate about people being sucked into the ideas of this president. He is not this glorious being so many voters made/make him out to be. He is a speaker...nothing more.

But your not saying anything original. Your just spewing the right wing nicknames for Obama. Alot of democrats do listen to Rush Limbaugh. Of course he's not a glorious being. He's a politician, I think politician and glorious being in the same sentance is the definition of an oxymoron. The guy has been in office for 9 months, and has had more crap to clean up then any other first term president in this countries history.

I believe this is where he DID apologize!!! He said he would never apologize in the interest of his nation, but a paragraph before....HE DID!!!!
Really look at his speech....he is not a real leader. He wants us to lie down with all the others.
Yes, and some of the actions we have taken haven't been in our best interests. This isn't apologizing to our enemies, but the simple realization that we have made mistakes regarding foreign policy in our past.

Clearly not an apology. An honest admission of reality. We most defintely have run roughshod over people in other nations. The lack of Diplomacy and the pre-emptive war style of the previous administration has not been in the best interest of The United States. Do you have any knowledge or understanding of what some of the awful foreign policies have done to our reputation as a democratic society. You obviously do not. It is so easy to google the articles and e-books on the subject that there is no excuse for such ignorance!

No wrong question. Where are the WMD's? Why did we lose 4K soldiers?

It was Bush who endorsed Qaddafi when he let him BUY his way free from the guilt of sponsoring the mass murder of Americans. How'd ya feel about THAT?

How about Pat Tillman?

Is HE 'real' enough for you?

Why don't YOU listen to what his thoughts were when after enlisting to go to Afghanistan he found he'd be sent to Iraq?

Why don't YOU look at some FACTS?

I live in Hawaii and have many friends and family that have served in Iraq. They all feel fortunate to be alive and hate the Bush administration for all the lies they have told. So yes I have listened to real soliders, and they all agree that invading Iraq is the biggest embarrassment in our countries history. And guess what they all voted for Obama!!!

We are no longer safe. The Obama administration is weakening our defenses, and not committed to fighting terrorism. Victory is a word he is "uncomfortable with" (his words).

Expect another attack on America. Only the next one, as promised, will be worse than 9/11. And you can thank Obama.
Apparently some suffered from 8 years of amnesia.

As mentioned in the thread, we had numerous terror alerts, arrests, elevated threat levels, etc after 9/11 and before Obama.

If I join the Republican party in a year, I don't have to become a liar do I?

I don't want to become corrupt and corrupt kids before the world wide net
of international people. This is asking to much of a decent person...
