Leadership? How can you lead braindead, brainwashed lockstep Nazi-style NO COMPROMISE NO PLAN Obstruction Only MORONS who got us in this mess in the first place.

You have the time to refute each and every point. Instead you choose to post an idiotgram. An ad hominem without substance or thought isn't worth the bits used to post it.
actually I don't have time as I'm at work. And even if I did why should I spend my time giving a thought out post to a poster that doesn't use their own brain but rather just cuts and pastes her every post? I really don't feel the need to argue with a post from another website. I enjoy posting with the people here who actually put their own thoughts out there for discussion.
She is the equivalent of an automated computer program just randomly posting someone else's work. Screw her.

I guess he figured it should be obvious that if Congress don't let him actually implement his policies, we aren't going to get what he was promising. Duh.
You must be an ignorant isolationist if you don't know about rebuilding the infrastructure. Are you a foreigner or something? And you are clearly ignorant of what the president does. You might try an introductory course in polly-101, so you won't look like such a foooool here.
By the way, I could never get a lick of his ass with your head buried up it and sucking the shit dry. Give some of your other cons a turn.

Jesus Christ. That has to be a record for the longest non thought out cut n past job in history. Congrats you win the Obamanomics 101 graduate certificate.
You have the time to refute each and every point. Instead you choose to post an idiotgram. An ad hominem without substance or thought isn't worth the bits used to post it.
please offer me an example of a policy they espouse that are not in the best interest of African Americans.
New QRM's requiring a 20% down payment.
That affects all Americans...not just blacks...and it is a good thing.....no?
it has a disparate impact on blacks, who are far less likely to have 20% downpayment because their average wealth is far lower - for a host of historical reasons.
As for whether it's a good idea: I actually think it's a terrible idea. The size of a downpayment is not a singular indicator of future default. There are several other variables that are equally important. The 20% rule throws the baby out with the bathwater and will immediately create a 2-tiered mortgage system that will leave us right back where we started.
Gutting urban programs such as CDBG while continuing to subsidize rural interests such as the Farm Bill.
Abolishing Affirmative Action and ending oversight portions of the Voting Rights Act
Until we abolish acts and laws that were necessary years ago, racism willnever die
Well, CDBG wasn't a response to something "necessary years ago", and I think there's still a place for affirmative action - but I realize smart people can disagree on that.
Cutting funding for public transportation while increasing highway spending.
That will affect all Americans...not just blacks
But again, it has a disparate impact on blacks, who are more likely to be urban and poor - the demographic of people who benefit the most from public transportation.
Reducing Section 8 housing choice vouchers
Section 8 is low income housing and blacks and whites alike are found in low income housing
I don't mean to be repetitive, but again: It has a disparate impact on blacks, who are statistically more likely to hold a Section 8 voucher or live in Section 8 housing.
No...it is not that they realize it...it is that they hear politicians say that it is INTENTIONAL.
No, I think they realize it Jarhead - they watch TV and read the newspaper like everyone else. And there are times when it IS intentional.
And to be frank...I am very disillusioned...I thought you were above this crap.
I don't think it's crap at all - it's a very real concern among millions of people.
He can get every liberal to vote for him...but without at least half the independants....he goes nowhere.
Not even some of the liberals. Some are pissed that he wasn't far left enough and then others who know he has done some very wrong things to our county.
So he hasn't even got all the libs onboard, let alone independewnts.
In theory that makes sense. I doubt it will enter the equation when they go to vote.

I am a conservative.
I believe all people are created equal and have the same rights that I do.
I Treat all people equal and I do not allow race to dictate any of my decisions as it pertains to people....I do not hire becuase he is black, I do not hire becuase he is white.
That is how a conservative thinks.
We do not believe in legislation that caters to one group of people. It is not part of our thought process...as all people are equal so all legislation caters to all people
We do not believe in a nanny state...and thus why we would like to eliminate certain programs.
The fact that YOU and others want to spin it that we are intentionally trying to take things from blacks simply shows us that you have yet to grasp an understanding of the true conservative ideology.
So yes...it is crap.....it is made up shit coming from the mouths of people who find it easist to criticize different thinking people by calling the racists.
This does not mean that some faux conservatives may be racist. I am sure they are. But then there is no way they can deem themselves true conservatives.
So he gets around 25-28% of the vote. You think a single independent is going to vote for him? Hardly.No way he could get reelected??
Have you not met the liberals???

Refute? Shit. I'd like to see proof that some of those "accomplishments" actually exist! "Saved Wall Street"??? Let's see some numbers and documented proof on that shit. With today's 400 point dive wiping out all gains for this year, I doubt very highly he saved jack shit.Jesus Christ. That has to be a record for the longest non thought out cut n past job in history. Congrats you win the Obamanomics 101 graduate certificate.
You have the time to refute each and every point. Instead you choose to post an idiotgram. An ad hominem without substance or thought isn't worth the bits used to post it.
I can see a couple I can refute.
Healthcare Reform. No reform. Those that have will get hosed to pay for all. I always enjoy paying for other people. NOT.
Save Wall Street? That must be why the market is in the toilet. Turn on the TV
Drastically slowed downt the recession?? Watch the news there kid. They now fear a double dip.
Stimulus package created jobs?? Where?? Sure ain't here. Thats why UE is at 9.2%
The Russians think we're a joke. Ask em.
Improved relations with Iran?? Boy are you dreaming. I'm sure thats news to Akmawhatshisname and the Mullahs that run Iran.
You can go right down the list and refute just about all of em.
I will give him kudo's for having the balls to order the hit on UBL though.
Take your head outta your ass. This guy is a disaster. He sucks as POTUS.
