I'm beginning to think Obama just isn't smart enough to be president
   
OK - we are about as far away from the next election as we can get so maybe it's time for a real open discussion. I question if Obama has what it takes to be president.

It's not just the latest tax deal that is stupid beyond belief. It's not just stupid - it's Sarah Palin stupid!

While I agree that America needed a stimulus 2 years ago when we were losing a million jobs a month. The hemorrhaging has stopped. We now run the risk of creating a welfare economy on borrowed money. The deficit is VERY SERIOUS and we can't keep just borrowing money to keep America in denial. We are going to lose America over this.

Obama describes Republicans as "Terrorist" and "Hostage Takers" - which I agree with. However he is saying that we have to cave into the hostages takers. That on it's face is so ****ing stupid (can I say ****ing?) that you'd think Palin was already president. The message that statement says is that America caves into terrorists. Talk about sending the wrong message.

Cutting the Social Security tax will bankrupt Social Security. That's the Republican's wet dream to kill Social Security. And for what? To kick the can down the road for two more years?

America did just fine with the Clinton tax rates when Clinton was president. I would pay a LOT more taxes if they go up but I just can't live the lie anymore. Yeah it's going to hurt but it has to hurt. Bush ruined the economy and we need to feel the karma of our mistakes rather than to pretend it's just fine.

Last year Obama make many serious concessions to Republicans to get votes just to get NO VOTES. That's not how deals are made. What you do if you are going to give in is to get some votes for it. Otherwise why give in?

I could go on but what's the point. This alone is sufficient for me to lose confidence. And if the Democratic party caves in too then they share in the stupidity.

Sorry - hope and change is dead. I just can't pretend Obama is OK anymore.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!  We have a winnah.  Obama is about the dumbest man to ever inhabit the office of POTUS.

Yep, and he's likely to bear that distinction for a long, long time, unless, God forbid, he fails to survive his term. In that case, Plugs would immediately assume the postion of dumbest POTUS in American history, and the jug-eared muslim would move down to #2. You can see a dramatization of the Kenyan/Plugs presidency in the movie "Idiocracy".

Then in that case Jimmy C is home in Plains warming up the shootin' irons. He's the one with the biggest motive, to be #3. I bet he never thought that day would ever come in 10 lifetimes.

Well yeah because Obama falls short when compared to Palin, or anyone for that matter.

Jess, you'll have to have a full dossier created for you, sign a confidentiality agreement in quadriplicate, provide all personal financial data to $kinner, including SS#, bank account and credit card accounts, fill out a 50 page questionaire, disclose first boyfriends and how far they got, and hand over your first born.

Knowing Obama like we do, you would think that, if he were so smart, he would have been proud to release his grades. He would have been bragging about them....But since he didn't release them , we can probably safely assume they weren't so great ....maybe even sub-John Kerry level.....who was even DUmber than the supposedly DUmb Bush....who could, when required, make a speech without the help of a teleprompter.

Obama worships at the alter of the TelePrompTer.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

Interestingly, I noticed just yesterday (Thursday), while roaming around Skins's island that the "Commie_Dirtbag" primitive is still pestering my fellow alum Skins; the primitive sent in all of his paperwork so as to become a moderator there several months ago, and never got named a moderator.

He's asked my fellow alum repeatedly if everything's in order, and Skins hasn't answered him.

I suspect Skins doesn't want the "Commie_Dirtbag" primitive as a moderator, and it should be obvious by now.

It's probably due to a discrepancy in his parents' names on his birth certificate.

How can you say that?!?  Just look at his transcripts, and his college and law school work, especially on the Law Review!!!  Oh wait...

Not even a real professor, come to that, just what most schools would call adjunct faculty.

I'm beginning to think that Obama is just smart enough to know he is not smart enough to be president.  The performance last night in the presser with Billy Jeff Clenis was a blast. Run the nation or go to a Party with Moochelle.
