No, I agree that it's our best interests that he should look out for. But since the respect thing was MY opinion and not OUR opinion I kept it limited to myself.This is to announce that the Obama's will be taking another high-priced vacation at the tax payer's expense.
No, wait, this might be the rudest thing I've read all week.
Amazing how when we had white presidents no one said such grossly disrespectful things regarding the highest seat in our country.
Oh yeah. No one ever said disrespectful things about Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Clinton OR EITHER of the Bushes!!! Please. But thanks for making this an issue of race! :grumble: :noway:
I don't feel like I have to respect the man just because he is the president. That doesn't mean he is doing anything in MY best interests...
Isn't this the crux of everyone's issues anyway? MY best interests, as opposed to OUR best interests?0 -
What America doesn't get is that ALL politicians HAVE money, want to keep it or make more anyway they can are really don't give a rats *kitten* about whether common people suffer for it or not.
Really all we vote for is the person or administration that would do the least harm to our own welfare. That's what it all boils down to.

Good! I hate political discussions, they brew up so much hatred and divide everyone up even more than we already are.

Well, I don't have any firsthand experience, but the media told me it was a koala, so I must be qualified to discuss his choices.0 -

I suspect we are in the mess we're in because of decades of overspending by both Democrats and Republicans. It is not just Bush's fault, just like it is not just Obama's fault..........it is EVERY politician who enjoys spending our tax dollars on whatever they feel like spending it on - and believe it or not, it's NOT US they are spending their money on.
Well, it actually is the Bush Administration's fault...... when he took office Clinton had us out of debt. We were in the black.
Q: During the Clinton administration was the federal budget balanced? Was the federal deficit erased?
A: Yes to both questions, whether you count Social Security or not.

Not gonna lie, aside from the whole cheating on Hill-Dawg thing (which, I mean, don't most politicians cheat on their wives? I thought that was like a requirement), Clinton was a pretty sweet Prez.0 -
Lol so true!! I'm not a Cubs fan but I do hope they get their win sooner rather than later. Just want to add atheists to your list too. Don't forget us! We're the ones you want as neighbors, no prosteletyzing or doing "good deeds" just to get in with our diety we're just decent humans because we think we should be (not because some Daddy-Mommy god is going to smite us) and we are not going to eff you over because this is our only life.talking politics on forums is never a good idea. Too many feelings hurt. Keep it to less emotional issues like.. religion. There's so many religions today; you could be Buddhist, or Islamist, and some even worship sports teams. I know a guy that worships the Chicago Cubs, he's a Masochist.

President Obama will announce a new immigration policy this morning that will allow some undocumented students to avoid deportation and receive work authorization.
Under the president’s “deferred action” executive order, students in the U.S. who are already in deportation proceedings or those who qualify for the DREAM Act and have yet to come forward to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials, will not be deported and will be allowed to work in the United States.
An estimated 1 million young people could benefit from the deferral. To be eligible, applicants have to be between 15 and 30 years old, live in the U.S. for five years, and maintain continuous U.S. residency. People who have one felony, one serious misdemeanor, or three minor misdemeanors will be ineligible to apply. “Deferred action” will last for two years and can be renewed.
Obama is expected to speak about this new policy later today.
Obama’s announcement will create a smart policy to help protect young adults at risk of deportation who have spent years establishing their homes in the United States while boosting the U.S. economy.

Ahhh so it must be true then0 -
Elected officials used to actually be public servants. In the beginning, they didn't get paid much (if anything) to serve in congress, as President, on the Supreme Court, etc. These people served their districts/nation while also maintaining their farms, small businesses or whatever else, for income.
Slowly, over the years, money came into the picture.. salaries went up. Special interest lobbyists started throwing wads of cash at representatives, if they'd agree to vote a certain way or sponsor a certain bill.
As soon as $$$ got in the game, true public service went to the wayside. It's a problem across party-lines and, as long as it's all about the money, real change can't be expected.0 -

You're kidding, right? I remember plenty of nasty comments about Bush Jr's vacations and expenses, plenty. Last time I checked, he was white.0 -

Just made a joke. I can't help it if people get all bent out of shape. :glasses:0 -
