Nixon did not get us out of Vietnam, he left office before we where chased out in 75 . As for president Carter , I find it funney that all the things he tried to do are now the things the other party say we must do now .

Blaming Obama for the economy colaps is also not acurate . It happened on Bush's watch . You are right about his taking care of business . He gave it everyting it wanted at the expense of the country .

Nice poll but why wasn't the guy responsible for robbing 2.5 trillion dollars from the social security system, slick-willy clinton, included? That monetary action is the only way he achieved a deficit plus in 2nd term. Now, Social security and medicare face extinction. That's a remarkable achievement, aye? He's as smart as the 2nd worst peanut-farm carter, who is jest behind woebama.

No one "robbed" Social security. Lots of folks of all political stripes used it's coffers as a part of their calculation of the budget, in order to pretend that things were better than they were.

shock er, ok, semantics then... call it "borrow" ,then talk to hand , without intent to pay back; therefore leaving people without a return eventually on something they invested in....
and you are right, other presidents, starting with Prez Reagan used money from Social security to pay down on national debt.

Usually Herbert Hoover earns this distinction blaine

Nixon opened the door to China

Kennedy is the greatest man in modern American times with Civil Rights efforts and the Great Society....

Carter had an interesting brother

I liked Clinton - no better soaps on TV than Monica....

As for Bush gave you 2 war without paying for it, tax break for the rich, only took care of is rich friends, never gave you health care, and this is the man that stood in front of the camear on CNN saying the economy is strong while on the other side of the screen the stock market was crashing and you think he was or is better then bush then you must the idiots that came to Canada and voted for our prime minister Harper he is just like bush the freaking idiot.

Funny that Ford was doing OK and refused aid.

vigilant: gave you health care were 80% of you did not have before


Think the figures are more like 30%.

vigilant: As for Bush gave you 2 war without paying for it,


I believe the US was attacked by those protected by the Taliban in 2001 and Iraq breached ceasefire conditions from a war they started in '91.

vigilant: was in the middle tax break for the rich, only took care of is rich friends,


Did a lot more than that;



vigilant: never gave you health care,


Think Obama has? doh It's the equivalent to our Workman's comp, lose an arm in an accident and you get a cab ride home.

vigilant: and this is the man that stood in front of the camear on CNN saying the economy is strong while on the other side of the screen the stock market was crashing


Sort of like Obama saying the economy is improving after he fought tooth and nail saying he would fix it.

vigilant: and you think he was or is better then bush then you must the idiots that came to Canada and voted for our prime minister Harper he is just like bush the freaking idiot. Since he the one that said the stock market crash so fast we never seen it comming a blind man could see it comming you see just like Bush LOL.


How's our economy doing? I know I'm doing a lot better than I did under Martin and Cretien so Harper's treated me alright overall.

And of those, the care is not exactly first class much less economy. The insurance companies are smiling though. More premiums and less payout.

In my opinion it should go the other way and adopt the Republican plan which is to pay the premiums directly to the individual who then pays the insurance company of their choice and thereby eliminates that tier altogether once tort reform and cross state competition is allowed. Democrats didn't want to talk about that stating there was no Republican plan and then held their meetings without permitting them to attend.

Both the person given the money to pay the insurance and the govt would both have the choice of who to insure with . I doubt if the govt would actually hand the money over to a recipient as that would be daft . The system will have to be there to pay the insurance companys direct anyway .I hope you guys are not advocating giving poor people money to play with as the grog sales will be going up .

Interesting points you point out.

Albertaghost: Actually he is not a coward but the rest is true though. Giving the go ahead for the Bin Laden raid took guts as if had failed his entire presidency would have failed. Given the remote location and distance from any aid it could have easily gone south with severe repercussions ranging from SEALS bodies being dragged through the streets to a renewed Taliban Al Qaeda front.

ON that he has my thumbs up.

The rest, ya, he's a moron who never had a job.

Actually Obama IS a coward. Cash for CLunkers, failure. GM bailout, Failure (bankrupt again). Solyndra and other solar panel companies funded with TAXPAYER money, bankrupt, failure. Passing on the Keystone Pipeline (meaning jobs and money for the USA) failure. and with all these failures, NOT once has he assumed ANY responibilty. As for the go ahead for Bin Laden, it took him 16 hours to make up his mind. THEN he turns his back on the doctor that gave us the information. But I did hear is golfing is getting better, so would mine if I put in over 1800 holes of golf in 3.5 years.

As I explained it took guts to approve the mission. The rest is political and as he has the bully pulpit it means there are various ways to explain it all away. Thirty dead SEALS dragged through the streets of Pakistan there is no way to explain other than to admit he backed a mission that probably would have failed for the vanity of offing Bin Laden.

laugh laugh laugh


The saga of the U.S. Treasury's involvement with General Motors has become the theater of call and response: the call is Treasury announcing how much it stands to lose on its bailout of GM...since the latest Treasury report filed states that it stands to lose $25.1 billion on the 500 million shares of GM stock it still owns.

At one time the government expected to lose $44 billion on the auto bailout. Even if it takes a $26 billion bath on GM and adds the $1.3 billion loss on Chrysler, that's still a 33-percent improvement on what could have been. And that's called "looking at the bright side."

Cash for Clunkers might be the only bright spot in this current regime's accomplishment, I like the idea of getting a Piece-of-Crap, fumigators off the road even though some came out of a junk pile.
