UPDATE, 12:00 p.m.: Obviously the main reason Obama invoked Eisenhower here was to suggest that his budget is more responsible than those of the four preceding GOP presidents. My point is that there's an added historical irony here that one assumes Obama was well aware of.Greg says..."One assumes Obama was well aware of."We all have assumed much from our own HOPES AND DREAMS about just WHAT OBAMA IS WELL AWARE OF. The Chess Game, Rope a Dope and other analogies are starting to wear thin when one finally decides that one has to judge a person's character NOT BY WHAT THEY SAY...BUT WHAT THEY DO!That's the problem with Obama. He isn't communicating at all with the Left of the Democratic Party.Why doesn't he do that? If he cares about our vote...shouldn't he at least try to throw a scrap or two our way? Lilly Ledbetter and "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" legislation was already out there...it was an easy "throw" for him. The real meat is in Labor and Female Rights to Equality and Using Anti-Trust Laws against the BANKSTERS and Prosecuting those who caused financial RUIN for US TAXPAYERS! Where is Obama's Dept. of Justice on any of these issues? His cabinet is stocked with folks who seem to believe that Bush II's Policies need to be continued. Just today USDA says Genetically Modified Corn should be allowed...then there's BP DISASTER IN THE GULF where he put in KEN FEINBERG ...THE FIXER of numerous horrible disasters our Government has been part of with the Corporations for DECADES.There's too much there. Why doesn't OBAMA SPEAK TO US like he did on the Campaign Trail. When I listen to him he sounds cold in his speech. As if he's speaking to aliens or is one himself. This IS NOT the OBAMA I VOTED FOR!

vaberella (1000+ posts) Wed Feb-16-11 04:40 AMResponse to Reply #4 5. Funny because that doesn't stop many from comparing Obama to FDR. By the way he seems to always come up lacking to FDR.

Just when I think the stupid can't get any worse.......................
Comparing Obama to any president other than Carter is sheer stooooopidity. Before long, even Carter will be beyond his goals.
He already is! Even Cahtah didn't go against a judge's finding of unconstitutionality! ObieOne has done it twice! the prick!
Yup Dummies and Democrats are constantly comparing Teh Wun to successful Republican Presidents: Reagan, Eisenhower, Lincoln. They eschew comparisons to Democrats: Carter, Clinton, Johnson. Dummies would run JFK out of the party on a rail but rally to Nixon's support. Makes ya go hummmmmmmm.
Well, let's see:It was that paragon of Dhimmi'tude, Woodrow Wilson who broke his word and sent American boys to fight and die on shaky justification and not a little propaganda bullshit;Wilson also set the shitstorm in motion that led to the economic depression of 1920, a depression deeper and more devastating to our economy than the 1929 depression;Comrade FDR took a economic depression in 1929-1930, added layers and layers of socialist policies and big government mis-management, and stretched an economic hiccup into the Great Depression which lasted for 12 years because of his fat-fingered meddling;Comrade Truman managed to get all touchy-feely with the UN and it's collective ass-grabbing indecisiveness, and in the process simultaneously get us so mired in a war on the Korean Peninsula and so completely hamstring the operations of some of America's best and most seasoned combat generals in political felgarcarb that we were happy to call it a draw with the ChiComs and retreat back to our corner;After Comrade Kennedy managed to **** things up and lose the slim chance of ousting Castro from Cuba at the Bay of Pigs, and then took America as close as we've ever been to nuclear armegeddon with the Missile Crisis, he and Comrade LBJ mired us in the political cluster**** of Vietnam, once again by hamstringing the pointy end of the spear with endless political caveats to combat operations to the verge of near impotence;Comrade Carter completely misreads the tea leaves in the mid-east and bends over and grabs the ankles when the world's first Islamofascist regime since the Ottomans does what Islamofascist regimes do best - declare jihad on every element of western culture and proceed to lop heads, blow shit up, and generally make 7th century pains in the ass of themselves for the next 35+ years, so encouraged as they were by Jimmeh's impotence and mealy-mouthed snivelling over the first Americans taken captive since the Pasha of Tripoli got his head handed to him 200 years previously;Looking particularly flatfooted after George HW Bush's devastating bitch slapping of Saddam Huissein in Gulf War (act I), Comrade Billy Jeff needed to find an enemy to attack so that he could look presidential. As a result of Der Schlickmeister's search for a legacy other than adding the term "lewinsky" to the porn lexicon, we had attacks on religious whack jobs in Waco, TX, the annihilation of a separatist family in Ruby Ridge, ID, and the expending of dozens of Tomahawk cruise missiles on an aspirin factory in Sudan to cover for politically hamstringing combat operations against Islamofascists in Somalia, permitting Islamofascist attacks on embassies overseas and the world trade center here in America, and refusing the proffered head of Oslimy bin Slapnuts three times, when the opportunity was presented by allies abroad. Comrade Billy Jeff's legacy is culminated by the SECOND World Trade Center attack, committed by operatives who wandered into the country on his watch, and then proceeded to train for and practice their planned operation with absolute impugnity.With such glowing examples of Dhimmi'Rats getting Americans killed in job lots, it's no wonder that Barry ObeyWon doesn't want to be held to their standard just yet. After all, whatever the lying bastard says, he wants to get re-elected in 2012 almost as badly as he'd like to tapdance a mudhole in Lord Rove's chest. In order to do that, he has to convince Americans to pull the lever for him again, and forget once again that Dhimmi'Rats haven't had the best interests of America at heart since the Civil War.
