Seems that Obama, the changeling, has been falling back on appointing alot of people from the old clinton administration. linkage (http://www.newsmax.com/headlines/obama_clinton_appointees/2008/11/14/151475.html)

Just curious how those who voted for Obama over Hillary in the primaries feel about their Brave new world leader appointing the same ol crew. :lmao:








Oh how I look forward to the days of Ruby Ridge, and Waco.

How, exactly, does this preclude him from implementing change? Oh right, it doesn't.

The Clinton administration did a lot of good for the country. Absolutely nothing wrong with appointing people to positions they did well in under Clinton. If it isn't broke, don't fix it. Well, it IS broke, but these people have the means and the experience to fix it.

These are, however, different circumstances, a different time. A lot more will be asked of Obama, so while re-enacting some of the Clinton administration's successful policies will fix some of the problems, he's going to have to give us something completely new for others.

If duct tape and safety pins, with the average fixer-inflicted shotgun wound equals fix. That's a general statement at any ruler who wants to help and remain in the status quo. Not that anti-status quo would be any better, either.

Potato pofuckintarto. The lesser evil of your fucked up political system has statistically been the democratic party for the last 50 years.

Besides. You think Clinton was the one who took the decision regarding Waco? If you do. Then be my guest and read on here hombre.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waco_Siege

ATF agents established contact with Koresh and others inside the compound after they withdrew. The FBI (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Bureau_of_Investigation) took command soon after as a result of the deaths of federal agents. They placed Jeff Jamar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Jamar), head of the Bureau's San Antonio field office, in charge of the siege. The tactical team was headed by Richard Rogers, who had previously been criticized for his actions at the Ruby Ridge incident (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_Ridge).

Personally I couldn't give a damn if 76 fundamentalist die. To me, that means the world just got smarter.

9/11 was hinted at before Bush was president. Bin Laden issued many threats and even put out a few failed attacks long prior to it, some of which were during the Clinton administration. Afghanistan was an immediate consequence of that; to not invade Afghanistan would have been insane. (Subsequent management of Afghanistan was poor, I'll grant that.)

Iraq was a consequence, IMO, of bad intelligence. Saddam kept claiming he had WMDs so people wouldn't attack him, and then he wouldn't let people investigate because then they'd see he was bluffing, and so we invaded on the premise that we were stopping a potential terrorist state. Add to the fact that he did gas his own people, killing thousands of people (many more than died in 9/11), and we have a rational possibility.

Your last point is so absurdly general that it can't even be addressed.

No, honestly I don't take Bush's side on these issues. I'm just combative towards stupid comments, and those right there were stupid comments. It just so happens that people make a lot of stupid comments badmouthing Bush on these forums, and so I wind up making a lot of posts attacking their stupidity.

To be perfectly honest, I hate the whole system. Obama, McCain, Bush, Clinton, their respective Congresses and cabinets, the lot of them. I don't think it could possibly get much worse than it is. When you have a system where true free exchange of ideas is not possible simply because the voting base is too small and poorly informed (outside of presidential elections, which aren't enough to actually drive the country in a direction on their own), you get our massive wad of fail: two sides of the same coin, with marginal differences in ideology, fighting for the power to make the same decisions as they always have.

Frankly, I support a proposal my dad made: if the majority of people don't vote at all, that seat goes empty. With current voter turnouts, all seats in government would become empty, including that of the President.

Much of what Clinton did is part of the current crisis. Much of what Bush Sr. and Reagan did was responsible for what happened during Clinton's terms. You don't get instantaneous results from economic policy. There are exceptions. For example, exempting financial institutions from maintaining banking reserves (Lehman, Goldman, Bears, etc.) can have more immediate effects.

Hmm, I think with Obama's popularity right now he could appoint the whole Bush administration and people would shrug it off and wait for more money. But I don't think its very fair to judge the the whole Clinton administration on 1 or 2 people. I mean take yourself, I am fairly sure you consider yourself educated and an overall intelligent person(of course everyone claims they are when they get into a political debate). Now have you ever worked for a bad company? Or ran with a bad crowd? I think a lot of it depends on your overall experience(rofl of course this one doesn't apply to being president!) intelligence and common sense in the area you are working. Kind of like when you go to taco bell and its very poorly ran. You can blame the manager but the employees that put your meat in your taco :D still know how to do their job.

You are countering a pro with a con for the sake of an argument. And even worse you are arguing with me over the word 'perfect'. Because instead of taking the statement as a whole, you felt the need to boil it down to a certain phrase that i guess made you feel inadequate.

So basically you saying that its flawed by someone saying they did alot of good, because you can point out that he did something that wasn't good. which in noway negates the fact that he did do alot of good.

So you see? You did not prove his theory flawed, you simply saw that he wrote clinton did some good things, and thought "Well i know he did something bad so that means he could not have done anything good".

am i getting through to you? or do i need to revert to something much simpler.



You - lmao seesaw argument; no one is perfect; you two are dumb; i am smart lol

you really must have a strong grasp on reading comprehension to get that out of my post.

First, we are discussing some of Clinton's admin, not Clinton. Second, the person I corrected was concluding that the Obama admin would do well simply because the Clinton admin did well. Actually, the Clinton admin screwed up a lot, therefore you can not conclude that the Obama admin will perform well since the duplicates hardly have a stellar record. So, yes, his theory/logic is flawed. I never refuted the claim that the Clinton admin did some good.

"Well i know he did something bad so that means he could not have done anything good".

Perfect example of your failure at reading comprehension. I never said or inferred anything of the kind. Try using actual quotes. You can't because none fit your 'logic', but try; remember Daddy always told you "that as long as you try your best, winning doesn't matter....."

Seems that Obama, the changeling, has been falling back on appointing alot of people from the old clinton administration. linkage (http://www.newsmax.com/headlines/obama_clinton_appointees/2008/11/14/151475.html)

Just curious how those who voted for Obama over Hillary in the primaries feel about their Brave new world leader appointing the same ol crew. :lmao:








Oh how I look forward to the days of Ruby Ridge, and Waco.

He won so get freaking use to it.:lmao: You sound like a pathetic baby who has spilt his milk so why don`t you give up and live with it or go crawl down that hole with the rest of the falin mcfrail crew.:lmao:

PS it`s president elect Barack Hussein Obama to you, SUCKER.:bang:

I wish you were right.

But I am thinking that America will really start wondering "Who is John Galt?".

Why should the producers produce anymore when Obama (happy now whoever was trying to bust my nuts), who already admitted he was going to go all Socialist on us, starts taking all the wealth from those that EARNED it.

I realize most of you children do not remember the Carter years....but NOBODY (worthwhile) is going to work under a 70% tax rate.

70%?

hes increasing the bracket tax by like 3.9%.


also, if we do infact get government healthcare, this will free up ALOT of money for pretty much every company that supplies healthcare benifits.

Let's assume you are correct. So what? Do you think that all this 'freed up' money will somehow improve your life? Or will the fat cat CEOs just give themselves a raise?

Ideologically speaking, the government is taking my money through taxes to subsidize private business.....

No, I was commenting that the increase in taxes on small business and corporations and the money they will 'lose' will be recouped(if not gained) by a government healthcare system. As benefit provided healthcare is a huge draw on alot of companies monies.

It's income tax, not revenue tax. The money can/will probably just be spent on other expenses like the CEO's salary and there will be 0 recouping.

As a general rule, a company will do everything in its power to minimize its tax burden.
