If Rand Paul is nominated I might drag my politically apathetic ass off the couch and vote for him. I can't vote for Hillary and certainly can't vote for Jeb Bush because they are warmongers. They favor a policy that kills thousands of people. If the Democrats somehow nominated a genuine Jimmy Carter style dove I might consider voting for him. Of course that's even less likely to happen than Rand getting the nomination. We have two parties of war and torture. Hell, even warmaniac McCain was at least against torture. Obama has kept open ever torture facility built by the US.

Sorry, I don't know how I missed that earlier.

I'm wondering, Heywood, if you can accept a challenge that ATheist failed. It's a simple question: Can you elaborate on what terrible crimes Obama has committed to deserve the psychotic hatred that he receives in some corners of America?

You see, given the case I've made for racial bias (previous posts I know you're familiar with), you and he need to do a better job of providing a refutation than "nuh-uh-uh".

Well I answered the question: He is responsible for mass murder overseas.

Quote: Obama has kept open ever torture facility built by the US.

You do understand that one of Obama's first actions was to prohibit the use of torture....oh, excuse me... 'enhanced interrogation techniques.'

Thisis dated 1/21/09...one day after he took office. How much faster would you expect him to act? And Congress refused to allow Gitmo to close.

*tap tap tap*

Excuse me is this thing on?

I asked you a simple question: why do you hate him so much?

It should be a simple answer, since claiming it's because he's black makes me "look like an idiot". Obviously, I'm missing exactly how he's done such a crappy job.

Since it's so obvious, do tell.

I think it's because he failed in being not black.

Yeah....republicunts love mass murder overseas.... or in minority neighborhoods over here.

This probably won't end up hurting Bush for two reasons:

http://crooksandliars.com/2014/12/obamac...h-get-rich

Quote:Bush is quitting Tenet Healthcare Corp. - a company that has profited from Obamacare - and is ending a consulting contract with Barclays Bank to focus on his political future…

But Bush's business record, enmeshed in international finance and some troubled former ventures in south Florida, could end up complicating his return to politics and his hopes to follow his father, George H.W. Bush, and his older brother, George W. Bush, into the Oval Office.

Last year, he took a step into the rarefied world of private equity and offshore investments, joining with former banking executives and a Chinese airline company to make bets on natural gas exploration and shipping. One of the funds was set up in the United Kingdom, a structure that allows the company to shield overseas investors from U.S. taxes…

First, the rich cocksuckers who own the republicunt party will approve of this sort of shady dealing and,

Second, stupid republicunts like Woodie and Adolf can't understand the ramifications of this and already hate him because he doesn't want to machine gun Mexicans at the border.

Now, the fucker is getting serious about it!

http://www.newyorker.com/humor/borowitz-...MTA4OTkzS0

Quote:WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In the strongest sign to date that he intends to seek the 2016 Republican Presidential nomination, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush has officially resigned his position as George W. Bush’s brother.

“No longer being related to his brother is a key step to clearing Jeb’s path to the nomination,” an aide said on New Year’s Day. “We expect his poll numbers to soar on this.”

He mandated that we purchase the product of his fatcat friends in the insurance industry and lied through his teeth to implement that mandate.

Or to put it in a more rational way. He ensured that people had health insurance so that ill health wouldn't destroy them.

This is seen as joining with the rest of the western world.

It's still not ideal and what you really need is a tax to supply universal health coverage but you'd never get that past the republicans, who are just the political arm of businesses.

There is a reason that America spends more per head of population for less of a service than the rest of the world and that is because you are a country run by business for business and have been for decades, you can't expect one president to reverse that in two terms especially when everything has been opposed by the corporate shills that are the GOP.

Obama has achieved more good things in his terms than could reasonably have been expected of him.

But still some people don't like him for some unknown reason.
