Are you Racist?! Oprah Winfrey is the Lady of Social issues, MM was just a Dirty mean whore, even JFK never appreciated her! I respect Oprah!

Are you an idiot? Maralyn Monroe was a very fine telented actress! Oh Gee maybe the great speaker on Social Issues Oprah Winfry would have liked her?

"Racist"? WTF? Is that all you got? I don't respect Oprah and I don't have to just because I'm white!

LMAOff....let's see are YOU a Racist because you think Marilyn Monroe was a whore?

JFK

JFK was a patriotic man who loved his country. He had his short comings, but he never tried to fundamentally tear this country apart. Instead he wanted all of us to appreciate what a great country America was

It was William Henry Harrison who had the good grace to die of pneumonia 31 days after his inauguration.

Are you aware that JFK has been dead for half a century? He is not available for comparison.

JFK was a myth. Except for the Cuban Missile Crisis, his presidency was sub par.

That said, Obama is the worst president in the history of the USA. If he wins a second term, Obama may be the last president and the first Dictator of the USA.

you can't judge a sitting president. it usually takes about 20 years after they leave office to access a president. that's why no one talks about Bush's legacy

MarinerFH to tblackb 2012/07/01 02:21:11

Do you mean "assess". Obama is the worst president ever, a clear and present danger to the USA.

reply
tblackb to MarinerFH 2012/07/01 03:37:00

same thing (deconstructionism). that your opinion but you really can't say that at this point. I think Bush will go down as worst President ever but can't be sure for another 15 years or so BJ's presidency was previewed negatively until recently and a lot of his programs are still in use. People are criticizing the affordable care act now but....wait until they have to use it. People don't like the Lilly Leadbetter Fair Pay Act....until its applicable to them, so only time will tell.

MarinerFH to tblackb 2012/07/01 03:57:05

Some things take time to evaluate, so are clear immediately. Obama is clearly a bad and destructive president right now.

reply
tblackb to MarinerFH 2012/07/01 04:11:37

maybe...i personally think all politicians are pretty much the same. at the end of the day he's not much different than the rest. we have 535 of in congress and can;t seem to get anything done.

however, romney does scare me because I think he will be nothing more than a puppet for big business. he's seems to be willing to say and do anything to be president. he's too unpredictable and that's dangerous.

MarinerFH to tblackb 2012/07/01 19:03:10

Obama is a puppet for Unions, Wall Street, George Soros, etc.
Romney is no one's puppet.

reply
MarinerFH to tblackb 2012/07/02 03:45:47

Not so. Obama has received far more contributions from Wall Street than all Republicans combined. Remember, Obama bailed out Wall Street and allowed al of those big bonuses. Don't believe the lies.

That's a typical politician's public window dressing. The new rules have actually made things worse. In private, Obama is getting millions in Wall Street contributions.

Some are worse than others and Obama is the worst of all time.

BTW, Warren Harding was not. He delivered 100% on all of his promises and never lied to the American people. He also cured a far, far worse economy than Obama inherited and he did it in less than 1.5 years. How? By drastically cutting both taxes and government spending. That ushered in the greatest period of prosperity in American history, the Roaring Twenties"..

tblackb to MarinerFH 2012/07/02 19:05:00

and the roaring twenties led to the great depression, case closed!!!

reply
MarinerFH to tblackb 2012/07/02 19:09:16

Not closed. Progressive meddling by the new Federal Reserve brought about the stock market crash. That brought about a Recession, which Progressive Herbert Hoover turned into a Depression and which Progressive FDR made even worse, thus creating the Great Depression.

reply
tblackb to MarinerFH 2012/07/02 19:12:11

not it didn't. it was the use of credit; weather by individuals or buying stock on margin.

reply
MarinerFH to tblackb 2012/07/02 22:18:07

That's what the history books and the Progressives say, but it's not true. Herbert Hoover was a Progressive Republican (like Teddy Roosevelt) and he created the Federal Reserve which brought about the financial crisis.

Yes, Credit and 85% margin were contributors, but it was the Fed that created and enabled both.

Hoover and the Fed caused the crash, but it was just a Recession until Hoover initiated his recovery policies and turned it into a Depression. Then FDR built on Hoover's failed policies and crested a Great Depression. FDR's policies continually made it all worse.

FDR took office in 1933. with 11% unemployment. Under FDR's failed policies, Unemployment hit 17% in 1939.

So who's policies is Obama emulating? You guessed it: FDR's.

MarinerFH to tblackb 2012/07/02 22:32:58

Hardly. I am not a Conservative. Did you even bother to check my profile before popping off with that one?

However, you speak like someone too brainwashed to study history and think for yourself.

It appears that you are part of the 98% of a demographic who will vote for skin color rather than thinking, evaluating and making a truly considered decision. Sad.

reply
tblackb to MarinerFH 2012/07/02 22:43:00

nope but you sound like one. hoover had a laze fair approach to the economy (leave it along and markets will fix themselves, much like Bush & other republicans of today, it was FDR that realized deficit spending was necessary to fix economy, much like Obama did. See the government operates off tax revenue. the more people that are working the more tax revenue is generated. Although FDR got a boost from the war, it was putting the people to work that fixed the economy. that's econ 099.

please don't talk to me about skin color when that whats been going on in this country, at every level of government for more than 230 years.

i taught econ and gov for years so i do more than study it.

reply
MarinerFH to tblackb 2012/07/02 23:40:20

You obviously know nearly nothing about American History and are not about to try to learn.

FDR failed miserably. WWII put 11,000,000 Americans to work and saved FDR's bacon. That is why FDR provoked Japan into war and entered the European war unnecessarily.

But enough. You insist on blissful ignorance and will more than likely vote Color over substance come November.

Have a nice life and goodbye. Feel free to post the last word. Ciao.

Nah Bush won't go down as worst ever, not even close, when you look at the 55 months of Job creation(record) and the solid substain growth of the GNP which was extremely high. And you have to look at the fact that Obama has only continued all of Bush's policies, everyone, toe for toe, you can not make any arguement that Obama is a better President. However I think Obama has put into place things which have hurt America. I do agree with you it's a considerable lag effect on what they do. take for instance, Clinton's deregelation of the Banking system, which 9 years later caused a Meltdown of the housing market in 2007. Though it's funny how a lot of Democrats want to blame Bush for that deregulation. Here is a good read on Bush as the worst POTUS in history.

Bush continued Clinton's programs....you must have forgot he was on vacation almost exclusively for 1/11 to 9/11. No President since FDR has had to deal with an economic crisis like him...that alone will make him a better president than Bush.

No it will not, simply due to his total incompentancy in how he has handeled it. Do you even comprehend just how bad he has handled this, we were in a much better position in 2008 than we are today and that was before he spent 6 trillion dollars. Thats almost as much as was spent in the preceding 243 years of American history, yet the job situation is much worse today than in 2008, gas is higher, unemployment is higher, there are more poeple on food stamps, (Obama has been nicknamed the Food stamp president you know) gov't has grown by over 2.5 million, there are fewer people looking for work, his policies have stopped free enterprise growth,
I would agree with you on that fact if Obama had done what he said, but he hasn't, and whats worse, it doesn't appear he has tried. He hasn't tried to work with Congress at all taking a partasian approach to everything he has done. Instead of leading like LBJ, who got things done with a GOP controled house and senate, he has only futher divided the American people, and continues to pull america apart. There are several stories out about his personality disorder, and truly that has hurt us all simply to stoke his ego.

go back and study the great depression. you have to do deficit spending to keep the economy out of a depression, look at whet Roosevelt did compared to Hoover. gas was not higher. gas was $.99 per during Clinton and reached almost $4.50 during Bush. I don't think we've seen $4 gas yet. if fact its less that $3 now. that whole food stamp thing doesn't fly because jobs have been going overseas for past 25 years. its a fact that our economy is shifting from manufacturing to service. there are 2 million unfilled jobs out there because americans lack the skill/education to fill them. the president can't force people to go to college and obtain a job.his country just didn't get this way overnight and certainly not in the past three years either!

Debowman to tblackb 2012/07/01 22:31:32

wrong, Gas has been higher under Obama than Bush, Bush's highest was 4.21 and what is really scary is the fact that Obama Enengry Sec. Feels Americans should pay as much as 7 dollars per gallon, so we will be on a even playing field with the EU

I don't have to go back to study anything, It's right there right now. You only want to defend Obama's piss poor job with the current economy.
It has definatly gotten a lot worse in the last 3 years, and having a President who hates our country doesn't seem to be in our best interest now does it?? or having one that feels we shgould be humbled. OMG are you so enamored with Obama race you'll give him a pass on everything?? Look at his personality disorder, which by the way those links are to people with PHD's whoi agree on that. It's why we should have Presidents who were raised as Americans, not raised as Muslims in a different country. YOu not even listen to what I am saying you jusat want to defend this miserable failure. YOU ARE A SHEEP we are done
