Requirements for posting, whining and otherwise engaging in criticism of the Obama administration
In order to gain a perspective on why someone could or would have the moral and political wherewithal to criticize the Obama Administration after just a year and a half of governance, it is essential that their ideas and values concerning the past eight years be consistent. To be consistent one must have engaged in the following:
You criticized and condemned the Bush administration for its lack of action on immigration.
I did
You criticized the Bush administration for its neglect of the intelligence concerning 911.
Sure did
You protested the loss of American life in the unnecessary invasion of Iraq.
You protested the trillions of dollars spent on wars that are either illegal or unwinnable and in the case of Afghanistan largely ignored.
The wars were both legal, and winnable, I agree that Bush used piss poor strategy though and often said so
You wrote your representatives to protest the illegal invasion of Iraq.
Read the COTUS, the invasion was not illegal. Unwarranted perhaps, but not illegal. Continually calling it illegal is just as dumb as those who continually call Obama a kenyan.
You condemned and protested the Bush administration for allowing Osama bin Laden to escape.
The son of a ***** has eluded three Presidents over a period of about 13 years. I condemn our nation for not being able to correct that.
You criticized the Bush administration on their Medicare drug entitlement that gave drug companies free rein to rob the American tax payer.
Do you also condemn Obama who gave health insurance companies free reign to pillage the tax payers by mandating that they become customers? I condemn both.
You protested the lost of rights in American because of Homeland security and illegal wiretaps.
Do you condemn Holder for wanting to strip the rights of Americans who are ACCUSED but not yet convicted of being terrorists? I condemn both.
You railed against a deficit that grew and grew while Bush did nothing but advise shopping.
Obama makes Bush look like Mr Scrooge, but no one ever called Bush a fiscal conservative, well except screwy left wingers.
You discussed race and racial inequities during the Bush administration.
Race was not a big of issue under Bush as it is under Obama, the ****** has divided us as if were back in the 60s.

You did not whine about taxes as you drive America's roads and bridges and took advantage of a technologically advanced society. [/QUOTE]
Everyone has the right to ***** about taxes, regardless of whether they use public resources or not
You ride a bike or take public transportation to help keep America green.
I see, so your contention is that only Americans who live in an area that has public transportation or live close enough to work have the right to gripe
You live in a home that is not part of suburban sprawl and is close to work and transportation so our monies do not only go to foreign nations.
Oh, here you have further narrowed it down, now not only do rural Americans count, but neither do suburban Americans. I guess that leaves just the inner city folks?
You wrote corporations and congress concerning the outsourcing of American jobs.
A worthy civic cause
You paid your taxes fairly.
Ah , I see, so a tax cheat can say run the IRS, but should refrain from complaining about Obama, excellent opinion.

You tip your fellow Americans well and support an increase in wages for the lowest 20% of workers in America.[/QUOTE] So you're suggesting that there should be some sort of financial obligation met before one can gripe
You support stores that support American wages with benefits and fair pay: Costco, Starbucks.
You buy American products: cars, tools etc. and write the business when their products are not made here.
You do not shop in Walmart or other businesses that do not support a fair wage.
I support companies being able to hire who they want and pay whatever compensation they want. If no one wanted to work at wal mart at 7.56 an hour, Wal Mart would obviously hae to pay more. I also buy the best products I can for the money, if that happens to be American made, even better, but I will not buy an inferior product at an inflated price simply because it says "made in America" on it.
If you voted for Bush / Cheney the second time around you need your head examined as soon as possible.
If you try to shut others up becuase they didn't vote how you liked, you should have YOUR head examined. PS I voted for Bush exactly ZERO times, not senior and not junior.

If you are not without sin concerning the above, feel free to criticize the Obama administration. As the priests would intone after confession, if you did sin, please now shut up, try to practice the golden rule, oh and buy American.

Answer me this, are you going to want to hear shut up if you supported Obama after 2012? I suspect not, and so now call you hypocrite.
