Interesting (and accurate) quote about Obama (OP/ED)

[RangerX]

Found on the interwebs.....

"The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to an electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails us. Blaming the prince of fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The public can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president."

Heinlein was right.

You could pretty easily say the same principle applies. Same wolf, different wool.

Damn. That is going to leave a mark.

And its a triple play when you consider how Clinton didn't properly support our military. From Draft Dodger to a Commander in Chief who committed the Armed Forces and did not bother to have the actions funded by Congress. Money had to come from somewhere so Training and equipment suffered through his Presidency.

We need a competent Leader.

Pretty scary when 50% of the country thinks that socialism is as good a system as capitalism!

Very scary times indeed. It says alot about the state of our country when the smart, competent folks won't attempt to take the reins.

With the information age being what it is who wants to have their family drug through whatever smears the opposition or press will either dig up or make up. That person better be squeaky clean, have no family issues or have Brass Balls or as we have received: doesn't care and ignores everything but own agenda.

I think Bush was pretty good about killing terrorists and taking the fight to the bad guys. He was determined to make it happen. However, I can offer a huge list of fails on his behalf that has fucked up the country. Here are a few:

Bailing out the Banks - this started the ball rolling to Obama's takeover of businesses.

No Child left behind - which has made our schools one of the dumbest places to be. This was a Teddy Kennedy plan endorsed by Bush

Ignoring the flood of Illegals coming across the borders

Not vetoing a single bill from a fucked up Congress for five years. He approved everything. Some bills he knew were unconstitutional, but he approved them anyway, thinking the Supreme Court would overturn them. They didn't. Example of this is the Campaign Finance reform pushed by McCain and Feingold.

Trying to push a croney of his into the Supreme Court, who had jack for experience.

I could go on and on, but Bush is a Connecticut moderate who did one thing good... killing terrorists. Everything else is arguable.
