Participantobama-mania!
If you set aside the partisan talking points, be reasonable here, help me understand what are the main issues with Obama? I’m genuinely curious.
My god, where to begin…
I’m sure someone can come up with a huge list but it comes down to this for me: this guy is just unqualified and too inexperienced to be president.
I’ve seen a lot of people who try to “BS” their way through a job. Like when an MBA tries to do an grunt surveying/engineering job but has never gone through the ranks (I think there was a fedex commercial about this once). Yeah, obviously the MBA is a bright guy, but when he starts doing this job, unless he has had the necessary experience to do it, he will screw it up. Hell, I was that guy for awhile.
That’s what Obama is. Bright guy, smart guy, but when you get down to the details, you find that he has nothing there and he has to start making stuff up. And then when people say to him, hey, that’s not the right way, he has to backtrack and or say oh I was misquoted or well I was “inartful”.
Do you really want a president who has to learn on the job?
One of the cricitisms of George W. Bush was that he didn’t have the experience to be president. Ok, that’s debatable. So what’s the response? His opponents choose a candidate that has even LESS experience than Bush?
Anyways, there are no shortcuts to success. I go through his policy statements and I keep disagreeing with every single one of them. Maybe I tilt right on these issues, but I think his positions go directly against the things that make America great.
Anyways, as to specific disagreements (and not to make a 15 page post), here they are:
1. Lack of understanding of foreign issues.
2. Lack of any fundamental understanding of business and economics.
3. Raising of taxes.
4. Questionable associations with people who HATE America.
5. Wants to restrict firearms.
6. Overly optimistic understanding of issues.I just remember the last time the Republicans had a candidate like Obama, with similar qualifications (actually better qualifications) and yet did not fare so well with the public (admittedly not as good of a speaker, though).
His name was Dan Quayle.

Participantstatism?
It’s hardly a religion, more like a system.

And it doesn’t have the worldwide reach of islamofacism, which has declared war on us.

ParticipantNope.
Nope I have not been inside the house. Curb appeal is ok for the house, nothing special. I just imagine the appeal of a house being in a cul-de-sac is being able to have kids play in the area, but with the huge dropoff in the road, any kids playing or biking might fall into Pomerado Road, where cars skizz by at 60 mph. Maybe if the house had a better laid out backyard it wouldn’t be a problem, but the backyard is slope (although there is some citrus orchard in the back of it and the golf course).

The Chinese are reasonable. They at least don’t have a religion that says that they should be killing people who aren’t following their religion.
