RE: Is Obama doing a good job?

too many self righeous, self serving and self congratulatory people out there who wont take responsibility for how they f things up for themselves.

The way some talk is like they have frign control over even going to the toilet


Btw, happy birthday zee

RE: Is Obama doing a good job?

RE: Is Obama doing a good job?

Because they have criticized EVERYONE, even the network that is their broadcaster!!

We are also subject to laws which do not allow more 49% of ownership of any news media or press outlet.

Thats why rupert went to america

RE: Would you die for someone you love?

A resounding yes

RE: Is Obama doing a good job?

We have the media communications ombudsman.

Aaaaaaand mediawatch.com who do a right job at embarassing publicly any press who stuff up, even with something inane as embarassing typos

RE: Is Obama doing a good job?

Check out their apec stunt, + eulogy song


U cant tell me they would be allowed in the US.

RE: Is Obama doing a good job?

Yes we have to be protected from these evil places for our own good.

It shows i keep my nose out of other countries affairs (quote)


But your governments dont.


Your country has been involved in more skullduggery than any other since the industrialized world came into fruition


They have gone into places where they werent wanted in the first place, then slapped the citz on the back with an i.o.u.



Btw, my partner says to say hello to u all.

(Hes an ex marine)

RE: Is Obama doing a good job?

Allo u!

Yes they are like fleas that annoy the old dog.

Mind u while we consider them far right (only to be outdone by one nation), the US would view them as centre right

RE: Is Obama doing a good job?

Likewise KMD.

My partner is american and is right winged in his views.

Just because i dont live there doesnt mean i dont know whats going on there and in other parts of the world

RE: Is Obama doing a good job?

Southtc, you have just proved how little u do know about the federation of australia, our free speech laws and how integral they are to us as a nation.

We have more free speech here than the US.

Check out 'chasers war on everything' if u dont believe me.
U would never see a show like that in america.
We also have a truth in media law.(check out mediawatch.com.au)




Your last statement is strange and does not even refer to what i was addressing in my post u quoted.

RE: The FreeThinker

Nope. True free thinkers have their own beliefs but can accept, understand and appreciate where others may form the basis of theirs.

Understanding being the key word

RE: DUH!! Go Figure!!

Funny.

But where he was conceived has nothing to do with anything

RE: Is Obama doing a good job?

Kissmedeeply, VelvetUG and other not of the US (to be politically correct):-)

I don't mind your opinions and comments on American politics, government or life.....if they are honest and straight forward.

Just realize our system of government is very different that a
parlimentary system. Though you cannot see it much....we normally don't have opposition parties and in power parties. In power parties here mean control of both the Executive and both sides Congress.
We normally have a minority and majority parties. Minority party can have control one of the House, Senate or Presidency. That gives it a great deal of say in the government process.

But we do have opposition and in power parties today. So our normal mild political debate has turned harder and more vile of recent.

In the past many people have asked many times....why don't American stand up(quote)

I agree tom on your theoritical points.
However, i believe perhaps we might know more about how it all works than what u think we do.

RE: Is Obama doing a good job?

And then u get this^^^^^^^

RE: Is Obama doing a good job?

The sad thing about this zee, is that some here are probably more informed on the politics in the US than 50% of your voting population

RE: Is Obama doing a good job?

I agree

RE: Is Obama doing a good job?

RE: Is Obama doing a good job?

I agree tom, but it aint just a dem thing. The r's been doing it too and neither is right

RE: Is Obama doing a good job?

British law!!!! shows how much u know whats outside your borders.

And when u start attacking 'the man' and not 'the ball' it proves even more my theories on how u undemocratically and ad-homenimen attack opposing views.



Your falling into your own trap

RE: The FreeThinker

Nope. My opinion of a free-thinker is that i form an opinion on what i believe within what i have had the fortune to encounter in my life, given it my own spin and have accepted that others will not see it in the same way i do, but understand and am open to their interpretation of it. That includes religion

RE: Is Obama doing a good job?

I agree

But then everyone would be jumping up and down at that aswell.

U cant win in either situation

RE: Is Obama doing a good job?

I agree

RE: Is Obama doing a good job?

Oh the old 'your not a citizen so your opinion is invalid' line.

Just proves to me how dangerous u people think.
And why u vote the way u do

RE: Is Obama doing a good job?

Like i've said before zee, when the US keeps to itself, i will stop having an opinion on your policies
