A thread all about Obama's failures as president

[quimcunx]

See what I said to Butchers ^.

For instance: Guantanamo Bay get rid. Nice one, he can safely say that because the only people who disagree with him on that are the hawks and loonies in the departing gov't. Israel is a lot more delicate and he wouldn't want to shoot his mouth off, I imagine.

Which is why I am holding out hope that he is lying. He needed the votes but now he's got them he'll weasel out of it and do something for the Palestinians for a change.


I just think I'm going to be disappointed.

 

[spring-peeper]

as i stated on another thread the only "change" you'll see in the white house will be a racial one.

you just wait and see

Not through the eyes of Canadian media, it isn't!!!!

Oh well, I guess we will have to see once he takes power.

 

[5t3IIa]

He's not doing 'it' full stop. US foreign policy as regards Israel will continue as it has since 1967, as Lord Obama made clear to all who have ears pre-election. There's no intention to change policy at all.

Probably. Hopefully he'll think of something different to try. Any suggestions?

 

[butchersapron]

Yeah, stop being negative butchers

The disappointment and tarnished dreams of daft leftie liberals in the light of New Labour's reign is going to be a drop in the ocean compared to Obama's.

Silly muppets.

 

[Fruitloop]

Although even though he is likely to be just as big a bomb-happy bastard as all that went before him, having a president that can read and write must be something of a relief.

I'm hoping that he is lying as well and that the reason he kept his mouth shut was because he didn't want to show the zionists how he really felt ...

somehow, i think i'm wrong though

Don't get excited. All they're going to do is release a few here and there. Then, keep a bunch in a hole someone else.

You can exchange Caligula for Marcus Aurelius, but the empire will remain the empire.

Today he was on my TV painting the walls of a homeless shelter. His technique was awful and he talked too much. I count that as a failure.

Directed at a paddy, you may need to update your terms.

The only Irish king that I can pronouce is Edward Bruce and he was succeded by an English King.

Besides, it wasn't really directed at him. I was just making a point about Empires in general.

Well looks like Obama is going to push for the abolition of the 22nd ammendment. That will go down like a lead ballon in some circles both Dem and Repub if it gets passed.

What does that amendment say?

Is it the guns one or the free lube for naval servicemen one??

 

[butchersapron]

The No God Before me one

 

[Yuwipi Woman]

It's the 2 term limit for Presidents.

And no, I don't see him doing that. What incredible scaremongering: "OMG! The darkies want to take over the country....!"

The 22nd Amendment is the one that limits the number of terms in office a President can have.

Section 1. No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.
Section 2. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years from the date of its submission to the States by the Congress.

where did you get that from? smells like rw conspiracy theory to me...

 

[8ball]

I find it hard to pin Obama down politically, but I knew he'd never take away the free lube.

it sure does look like that

I heard he was going to put some poison in the water that only kills white people.

 

[butchersapron]

it sure does look like that

 

[Streathamite]

Disappointment: him not firmly and squarely putting the head honchoes of the financial services industry in the dock over the fact that their greed, myopia and recklessness have dumped the global economy - and with it, all of us - totally in the shitter.
It's not as if it could lose votes like criticizing Israel could do; those folk are right now slighly less popular than STDs

 

[butchersapron]

Why would he do any of these things people are listing?

 

[killer b]

it looks like some loony is trying - not for the first time - to repeal the 22nd ammendment. last time he had a go, bush was in power...

H. J. Res. 5 is not the first attempt by Serrano to repeal the 22nd Amendment. In 2003, Serrano introduced H. J. Res. 11 to the 108th Congress to accomplish the same purpose. A similar resolution, H.J. Res. 25, was also proposed the same year and received co-sponsorship from a bipartisan group of six other representatives. In 1987, during Reagan's term of office, Earl Michener, R-Mich., also proposed a repeal of the 22nd Amendment.

LORD OBAMA pushes for life presidency. 'Looks like' anyway.
