You willingly joined the Armed ******, which means that you willingly agreed to any form of service that the President would ask you to do. In your own words, you "obligated" yourself. President Bush didn't make you join the Armed ******. When you signed up for service, you were telling the United States and all of it's citizens that you agreed to do whatever it takes in order to protect our country.
Now, you're saying that you didn't agree with the war? No, wrong answer. Once you penned your name on the dotted line, you agreed to anything...including going to Iraq.
Dude, you're confusing two different things.
Soldiers and soldier-citizens are
allowed to disagree with the war. They have limits on what freedoms they can exercise while enlisted/commissioned, but they are allowed to think freely.
And once they get out, they have
more than earned the right to think what they wish, now as a civilian. "Wrong answer"? Dude,
don_equis is probably one of the most entitled people to his views and opinion, and it's based on less ignorance than people like myself or yourself (I assume you did not serve in Iraq either).
You can disagree with him all you want, but quit ignoring the fact that he has only been President for A MONTH.
And yet he's setting a direction that many of us feel
solves nothing, possibly worsens it.
There is still an economist of the duo that won a Nobel Prize that stated that government interference after the crash of '29, especially in '32 by even the Republican President, only gone worse by the Democrat, made things much worse. Now we have a crash that starts in '07, and the Republican President tries to change reverse it a year later in '08, and it's only going to get worse. Heck, the crash that started in late '99 too years to see full effect by '03, the oil crisis crash of '73 going worse through '76.
The guy has only been doing his job for a few weeks and you (and others) are already acting as if he is the worst thing that has ever happened to this country.
I don't think he said that. I think he's said he's tired of
many politicians, including Obama like W. before him. Quit trying to defend Obama to the point that you act like no one can disagree with him. I don't like Obama's explanations on many things like I didn't like many of W.'s either.
Give him a chance, stop this preemptive whining and give him a reasonable amount of time to make things happen before you condemn him.
Hey, I'm the first one to admit that Obama hasn't been around long enough to see what his work will accomplish. At the same time, he does sputter a lot of the same bullshit.
The "tax cuts for the rich" **** has gotta go. That's utter bullshit that gets old. If you want to complain about the wealthy and banks, that's one thing. They created a lot of this mess, I totally agree. But the people making $50K+/year that he's planning to raise taxes on (not the $250K+/year he promised), just like Clinton's $20K+/year (not the $100K+/year he said he would), is an insult to my intelligence. That along with calling "tax credits" as "tax cuts." No, they are entitlements aka handouts.
You just seem like one of those people that isn't going to be happy with Obama until he makes your individual life a better one.
And yet that's what one could say about W., Clinton, Bush Sr., Reagan, even Carter!
change ? what change are you talking about ?:scream: :lame:
Word.
