Speaking of John Bolton, remember it was Obama who misidentified him as Josh Belton, during Bolton’s Confirmation hearings.

That told me everything I needed to know about Obama, he’s a lightweight.

'Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negatiate."

He should ask Neville Chamberlain how that negotiating thing worked out for him.

Well, maybe the republican party should have been a little more concerned over the years instead of sitting on their duffs and doing nothing. A lot of them have let us down and we just flat out quit sending them our hard earned money. If they lose this election it is their own fault.
Don't disagree with you there. But watching Obama I'm resigning myself to a Republican disaster. Maybe something good will come of it though.

I don't expect you to understand it now. But you will.

________________________________________

First of all you can take your condescending attitude and shove it.

Second, you can try to actually respond to the question of how your boy will accomplish anything rather than refering to you-tube videos of his supporters. What precisely is there in Obama's CV that leads you to the conclusion that he has just been hiding his light under a bushel for fifteen years? What has he ever accomplished that would lead you to believe that he can simultaneously handle immigration, the budget, the WOT, the Joint Chiefs, the UN, our allies, our enemies, Social Security, the credit crisis, global oil thuggery, health care, the inevitable natural disasters, China, Putin, Pakistan (that's right, he will invade), education, etc...when he couldn't even get a single bill through the process?

Please be specific....we know that you can since you are so much smarter than the rest of us.

Yawn... If you don't like to be condescended to, don't be condescending yourself. I already gave specifics, his health plan, he's already completely co-opted the conservative positions(handle it entirely in the private sector but with government subsidies). He's already preempted all of the economic arguments as well, showing that his method avoids the tradition problems of socialized medicine, overcharging to hose the gummit and actually paying for real high tech health care.

Watch that kid again. Do you really think we can beat that?

I think it will be a Republican disaster also but they took for granted their constituents and no one should do that. Who knows what Obama will do if he is victorious? Either way I think no matter who wins the dem/pubbies...we are ALL BETTER OFF WITH THE CLINTONS GONE! If hilllereee loses this nomination she is through and will never run for the highest office of the land ever again. She will be over the top by that time and there will be new faces coming up all the time.

No matter what...I STILL would rather take a chance with Obama than to have those clintins back in the White House to debase it like they have in the past.

I'm not so sure. With the Clintons you knew what you were getting. Smart but greedy, tone deaf and morally weak policy hacks. Their weakness and their arrogance actually made them weak and ineffectual. Remember "I'll crush you" Hilary care?

Obama on the other hand, has his act together. That's *much* tougher to deal with.

Having president named Hussein isn’t easy to take.

You have provided nothing to substantiate your claim that Obama will run this country so dynamically that he will guarantee thirty years of dems in power.

Is it because you can't? Is it because you cannot point to a single accomplishment of your guy's? I think it is.

Sorry, but most of us here need a little bit more than your 'I get it - you don't' proclamations about Obama's genius...we need substance of which there is none not emotion of which there is too much.

“nuclear scientist, Commander of a nuclear sub, Governor of a large state”

Not sure of CV
http://www.history.navy.mil/faqs/faq60-14.htm

“Nuclear scientist”: Not sure could exactly say Nuke Scientist - A engineer? Yes. Graduated with a BS in Eng from USNA; Nuclear? Yes, well worked at Navy Nuclear Reactors. A Nuke Engeineer maybe

“Commander of a nuclear sub”: Not CO; XO of USS K-1 (Receved dolphins ergo “qualifiying for command but did not screen for command) resigned after 6 years in the Navy

Governor of a large state: 15th largest in 1970 Good call.

Yawn... I've provided specifics, you've ignored them. But I don't expect you to get it now. Although you'll be screaming bloody murder pretty soon.

Ah, the famous "yawn"...used by those who cannot support their assertions with substance. You have not provided specifics at all, no matter how often you claim that you have. All you have done is reference what is very likely a piece of viral campaigning on you tube.

I repeat...

You have provided nothing to substantiate your claim that Obama will run this country so dynamically that he will guarantee thirty years of dems in power. Is it because you can't? Is it because you cannot point to a single accomplishment of your guy's? I think it is.

It is easy to make self-congratulatory proclamations. It is not always as easy to substantiate them with facts. Not only have you failed, you have not even tried. Have a nice day.

ineffectual???? The clintins? When were they ineffectual when they were in the White House? I cannot agree with you. OBama needs to win the nomination.

It’s hard to believe that an infanticide supporting, Saul Alinsky acolyte, tax raising, gaseous platitude spouting, Fabian Socialist with not one single accomplishment that normally considers one to be worthy of the presidency is even under serious consideration for the presidency, to say nothing of defeating any other legitimate presidential candidate. Maybe we need to find out just how far gone the American electorate really is. We are in a war. Obama and Clinton both support defeat and retreat in Iraq. To provide any support for them for any reason, while it may not legally be treason, it is constructively.

Should Obama or Clinton get a compliant Democrat Congress and Senate, the damage done to this country and to liberty as we have known it,would be incalculable. They are the most dangerous presidential candidates since Henry Wallace. Please check this link. It will tell you all that you need to know.
