So far Obama has taken 1/3 the vacation time that GWB took in the same length of time,So Obama needs a lot more vacation time.And GWB did a lot of great things,Lowered the tax for the rich,2 wars.

Just cos a lot of people think it should be done doesn't automatically make it right ... it may be right, but just opinion doesn't make it so.
Foreign aid is almost the best bang for the buck to raise our standing in the world. You see how many republicons parroted the RMoney's charity giving ... something like that, even an oily bastaerd like RMoney got people to like him with that ...

I'd say we are getting bang for the buck ... is it the best spent ? maybe not, we cant cut it off @ the knees though. People like me in India in the 80's wanted to come to america and not blow up america partially due to foreign aid. Something to think about.

That may be the case, but you still cant say - yea cut that and give me this, cos I am not willing to do anything different in my life and want to have guns guns guns ...

Just cos it needs to be cut, doesn't mean it should get cut and given to you. Same with corruption, same with anything else. Cut Obama care and gimme the $$$ ... sorry no, aint gonna happen.

Cool.

Shhh we're still bickering about who will pay for them. This argument is so hollow from 30 different angles, but we need to bicker, else the republicons wont have anything else to do.

Its finally turned warm, but rained 1/2 day yesterday and all of today.

Cool.

Did Bush spend a million to golf with Tiger Woods? Yep, lowered taxes for the rich who were, in turn, able to provide the best job market in generations. If it keeps me employed at a great job then I say YAY Tax Cuts for the Rich!!!!

You guys keep bringing up the wars...how many democraps voted for these wars??? 100%? 99%? 98%? Democrats were as blood thirsty as anyone, then Code Pink came along and war was bad, then Obama got elected and war was good again. Now it's war is great under Obama and Evil Buh started it and it was bad then. I love the elastic moral standards of liberals.

Poor Cindy Sheehan - tossed aside like a used condom

Your imagination is running away with it ... or you thoroughly lack any common sense. So let me put it in plain english - atleast as I see it.

No one says "war is good again" war is like $$$ it doesn't have a conscience. The reasons and underlying evidence for it is what makes it justified or not. When you enter into a war with false pretenses and claim that "we will be welcomed as liberators" and claim WMD are in Iraq, and what not, 1000's of pages of lies - then we are against it - obviously after we know it was lies.
No one says afghanisthan was a bad war to get into. No one is against it even now, we just got into it without an exit strategy which is Bush's fault in that war, but now with Bin Laden dead the exit is being planned.

We are just saying we need to prudently end it with the right draw down so we dont paint ourselves into a corner. As in dont withdraw the platoons close to the Kuwait border and lose the supply routes to the insurgency and there by strategically screw the ones in the middle of the country. No one says the Iraq war is good now. No one says the afghanisthan war was bad even when bush was running things. However the proper way to unwind both is what is under debate.

I dunno where you get these random points you assign "liberals" to. It however does have a name ... its a strawman argument. Look it up. I've debated people like you going back 30 years in 2 languages. You dont have a prayer if you fall back onto your strawman every chance you get.

Cool.
