Why all the crickets??????

[B. Kidd]

I read about half of the thread so far and he's a couple of points I have;

1.) The media still loves Obama, so he'll get a pass for being hip and cool in their eyes.

2.) Never in media history has anyone gotten such pro-bias as Bush after 9/11. There were no questions about how government let this happen, or why he told the Air Force to stand down after the 1st plane hit and the War in Iraq in the beginning the media completely whiffed on.

3.) The media must also peddle the idea that these 2 parties are complete opposites, it's what most of you people want to hear whether it's true or not. So that's why they want to make this admnistration seem less "warmongery" than the last one. Not really true but Republican voters like to think they're side is more likely to blow up muslims and Democrat voters like to think they're all about diplomacy bla bla bla.

Yes. The MSM's 'slobbering love affair' with Obie has resumed with vigor.

When Bush was President, seemed like everyday you heard some ration of crap about how bad a President he was - especially for the Middle East wars. Now, you hardly ever hear anything about the wars at all. Has all the loud mouths gotten to hoarse to yell and scream? Could it be that if you are a Democratic President war is acceptable? Why all of the crickets? All I hear is crickets...

This isn't a war, and it's different, this is an "overseas contingency operation".

Bush got a 4 year windown too in which he was their hero, if the economy is still a mess after the next election they'll (finally) get up from their knees.

Well, there aren't reports of insurgents ruling the streets of Baghdad or Fallujah or Basra. Our troops are being brought home from Iraq.

Bin Laden is dead and Al Qeada is effectively dismantled (at least that's what we're told) and the troop level in Afghanistan will be reduced starting in July.

We shut down the secret CIA prison system and we're acting like a republic that respects freedom again. Our troops are more disciplined and are no longer stacking human beings like cord wood.

If your memory serves, these are the things folks were bitching about during the Bush years.

KA-POW!!!!!

You ever wonder why Bush let Bin Laden Go? Historically, the Bush's and the Bin Laden's go way back... the two families were/are friends.

Granted, Osama was disowned by the Bin Laden Family... but it still makes you wonder.

Just a thought... kind a tin foil hat one... but a thought nonetheless.

Technically, Bush didn't let OBL go at Tora Bora...he just outsourced the job. It is a Republican thing. He outsourced it to the Pakis and the Afghans and THEY let him get away.

[B. Kidd]

One of the necessary myths of the right is the press is liberal, I defy anyone to show me stories on the state of the working poor in this nation, on the pathetic healthcare many Americans receive, on child poverty and piss poor education in the inner city, on hunger in America, or lousy pay and poor working conditions, on the outsourcing of work only for more money, or any number of issues. Media is corporate owned and operated and it is the same under Obama as it was under Bush. Corporations do not shoot their own.

The press is liberal is a myth?
I guess you never read Bernard Goldberg's 1996 NYT's bestseller 'Bias'.
He gave us legitimate insight about liberal MSM and Dan Rather, way before Dan Rather confirmed it years later.

Of course it was. Republican policies usually are

The reason i do not actively go against Obama is becuase of the group that would ally me with.

Birfers, baggers, racists, moroons, etc.

I still say that Obama is a third Bush term so why do not the right like him?
He is pro war, pro business, etc. What is not there to like for a right winger?

You guys are so embaressing i even changed my registration to Demoncrat a while back.

I do not believe for a millisecond that Obama is pro-war. He is a peace-loving, America is to blame, why can't we all just get along and talk this out President. He's doing what he has to. Moving towards the middle so to say.

"So, which of them spread nasty notions about Democrats?"

I want to see copies of their "cards" first.

Furthermore, try watching the news from different sources besides FOX. I mean, if you want them to call Obama or Democrats "Freedomhatingcommunistsocialistantiamericans" forget it.

But they do give criticism.

Rachel Maddow Criticizing Obama - Google Search

Here is a list of those criticisms from one of your side's most hated personalities. I'm sure if I changed the name to one of the other people on your list... I'd find similar results. You see, you don't want Criticism... you want them to agree with YOU.

 

[SFC Ollie]

Bush is a colossal failure that lead us to 2 unnecessary wars.

HE brought all this mess upon us, and many of us sat and WATCHED him do so...after WARNING him not to.

Obama is TRYING to clean up and doing a damn good job at it.

Case closed.

I can almost understand (almost) calling Iraq unnecessary, but Afghanistan? Are you high?

Iraq was unnecessary. The SECOND Afghan war was unnecessary. Bush scattered the Taliban for hiding Bin Laden and rightly so. That was necessary. But then Bush let Bin Laden go, left a small force was in Afghanistan and moved the bulk of American forces into Iraq. That was unnecessary.

When Obama became president, he made getting Bin Laden the primary goal, and again, rightly so. To do that, Obama moved the bulk of American forces out of Iraq and back into Afghanistan. If Bush had gotten Bin Laden the FIRST time, we wouldn't be bankrupt, thousands of Americans wouldn't be dead. Bin Laden would have already been gone.

So while it was necessary to go after Bin Laden THE FIRST TIME, if he had been taken care of, we wouldn't have had to go after him a SECOND time. And that's why the second Afghan war was unnecessary. Because Bush FAILED the first time because he wanted to "nation build" and "be a hero". If he had spent 20 minutes studying the region, he might not have been so foolish. Now half the population of Iraq is enslaved and living in Burkas and they've modeled their government on Iran.

One thing about Bush. He was "consistent". In fact, both him AND the Republican Party have been "consistent". Everything they've touched has turned to shit.

So you been smoking with Marc I see.

What is not true?

Bush chased the Taliban out and then allowed them to reestablish because he pulled US troops away to fight in Iraq. Do you deny that?

 

[rightwinger]

Frankly, Americans care about dead bodies. The local men and women who come back in boxes

Bush had to account for 4000 dead and 20,000 wounded coming back because of his decisions

As much as they try, Republicans haven't been able to sell Obama is as bad as Bush. Obama drew back from combat roles in Iraq. He refocused on Afghanistan and Pakistan and gained more international support in Afghanistan He increased drone attacks on terrorists to minimize exposure. He also got Bin Laden

Republicans have tried to paint Libya as the equivalent of Iraq. Obama played it correctly in allowing NATO to take the lead with US technical support. Once again, soldiers are not coming back in body bags and the public is not outraged by Libya

The only thing that upset me about Libya was the lack of congressional approval.
And Obama is spending way more than Bush did, and that was way too much.

You have to spend money when you are stuck with two unfunded wars and a tax cut that further reduces your income

You won't get an answer to that direct question...he will cut and run...just like Bush.
