Oh man, I know this has been done multiple times, but man did you ask for it with that post.

If they are ineffective then why make a big thread trying to debase them?

Well no, I judge him harshly on his actions and not by his skin color.
I hadn't thought of it until you got defensive and assumed that anyone who disagreed with you would be too ignorant to see
or comprehend these amazing points you are making but instead would resort to calling you a racist.

Warcry covered this in he post. Israel was invented, it is a state created by outside governments, created in a part of the world that has been in turmoil for centuries. You could fart in the wrong company is Israel and
start a war.

He has no right to dictate the development of a city that is in no way the soil of America.
An openly religiously diverse city which was being fairly developed.
To say where the Jews can and can't live in a state that was declared theirs by the UN is despicable.
For the UN to give them the state in the first place could also be seen as despicable. As for dictating the development of a city, at least he wasn't turning it to rubble like some other presidents. Also, did you bother to check why he was doing this?

And you have never been older than you are right this second. Also, yes
they have been more strained. Saying this is the worst Israel has ever seen is a very short sided thing to say, more probably people say it only to make the situation seem more urgent, and to arouse fear and helplessness in people.

What states are these? Iran is dabbling in nuclear power, but it has never been proven in any way that it is for weapons. Our country has been down the road of chasing possible WMD's, why would we do it again?

After all we are in a recession.
Everyone I know works, only about 2 of them have insurance, and that probably is worthless aside from peace of mind. "Very very few" is not a good way to describe 47 billion people. Also how will this create a one trillion dollar loss? Why make a point without also adding some sort of proof? The only reason I even ask that is because that is a very big amount of money, so to claim that we will just lose it is a very bold statement. Also, the recession is slowly healing, thanks at least a little bit to the presidents stimulus package, you know the thing that was signed shorty after the time his non-eventful career as president begain.

This is also fairly hypocritical as Obama himself was born into a middle class family.
Yes you are talking about the ones who inherited it and such. Also the taxes would be spread thin enough to not cause a significant burden on anyone. And not everyone who doesn't have health care is poor, and they also pay their taxes, the main difference between the poor and rich is that if you tax the poor what you tax the rich the poor people would have even less money to buy food and clothes. Our income tax already works on a sliding scale, the more a person makes, the larger amount is that is taken out. The reason people want this change to happen is that our current system is corrupt.

Good! Im glad CNN aren't puppets like Fox News. Just because a news channel (first a foremost a business, bear in mind, that may have only been supporting the president in hope of getting ratings) The fact that they are willing to say "this and this are wrong" only proves them to be honest journalists with no political agenda. Believe it or not there was a time when news was like this, before channels and papers and reporters decided to go right or left, they walked the middle ground reporting on what they saw, not who they felt was right.

Maybe if he spent less time listening to himself speak, and started to care about his own people rather that the opinions of the Islamic world he could keep his one million promises that he made in the election. Yes we can?
Of course we can, but we just need to know how. Please stop what you are doing for one second president Obama. Nobody cares about how you bought a little puppy for your kids and nobody cares that you had the support of Germany in your campaigned. What we care about is a leader and we do not see one in him. We all know that we can but so far nothing has happened. And anybody who points it out is a racist. A Blind follower's defense for every one of his actions.
No matter what color he is I only judge his actions. And so far the world is not impressed.
Any thoughts? I will listen to you with an open mind.
I would also appreciate other sources on the subject both agreeing and disagreeing
There's that race issue again, its in the first and last sentences of your post? Why?
And yes, people do care that he got a puppy. People need positive news or else they would go nuts. Furthermore I highly doubt the President asked any publication to talk about it, every presidents dog makes the news, but its not the presidents doing.
Things have happened actually, our economy is on a slow but steady rise. The war in Iraq has been downsized and more attention has been given to Afghanistan (the place Bush should have been all along)
Please stop watching fox news or listening to your parents before you make a thread about politics. Everything you are saying comes straight out a book written by people who are so concerned with BEING right that they dont care anymore about DOING what is right.
