There is no elitist "Obama family dynasty."<br /><br />The Bush dynasty expounded upon Prescott's activities by G.H.W Bush's years as a CIA spook and his subsequent ties to the Carlyle Group engaging in international arms deals using his position as an American government official to enrich his private dealings blurring the line between public and private representation. In other words, when 41' was brokering deals for Carlyle, he was using what I like to call "America's integrity capital" as a bargaining chip in business negotitations.<br /><br />Hitler rose to power through an odd parliamentary procedure after losing the popular vote handily. <br /><br />Bush was appointed president through an unprecedented decision by the Supreme Court, after Bush lost the popular vote handily. Scalia and Cheney are, and have been, good friends and hunting buddies in an obvious conflict of interest to everyone but wingnuts.<br /><br />Clinton left a surplus. To argue this is typical revisionist history. Clinton also upheld the successful policy of containment and no fly zones in the 90s. Information recently revealed that Saddam was bluffing and tried to communicate as much through intermediaries to offset the threat of increasing Iranian influence. A threat that Reagan and Bush41' compounded with a shady proxy war in the 80's.<br /><br />I disagreed with sanctions responsible for the deaths of over 200,000 women and children and oil for food, but to claim Clinton's approach was more harmful than Bush's pre-emptive Shock and Awe campaign is idiocy.<br /><br />We actually count the efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan in the budget now. Bushco tried to hide the costs through emergency funding that was used for no-bid contracts and plastic wrapped billions unloaded off a flying warehouse on a Baghdad tarmac. Waste, fraud, abuse, and no accountability were Bushco norms.<br /><br />Only republicans hypocritically complain about pork. That "pork" funds all kinds projects and does more good than harm in the grand scheme of things. <br /><br />This is republicans holding democrats to a standard they ignored. Reagan took America from the world's foremost creditor nation to the world's foremost debtor nation. Bush's watch resulted in the near collapse of the global economy.<br /><br />President Obama received more votes than any elected president in history.<br /><br />That's a mandate. Deal with it.<br /><br />And while you're dealing with it by calling the president a liar/communist/fascist/marxist and an illegal alien, remember that nobody is censoring your speech like they did with Pearl Jam and and all the "free speech zones," and nobody is threatening your lives.<br /><br />And when <a href="http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/06/rep-mark-kirk-r-il-i-told-china-not-to-believe-us-budget-numbers.php" rel="nofollow">Mark Kirk(R-IL) tells Chinese officials</a> that President Obama's budget(a budget that cuts taxes for over 95% of tax-paying Americans)is "not to be believed", directly undermining American interests, he's practically a traitor.<br /><br />And in case the wingnuts don't know. The president consults with MANY Capitalists and Philanthropists and independent thinkers in trying to clean up the Bush Republican pile of shit they so recklessly, perhaps methodically, left behind.<br /><br />Conservative Republicans failed America over the past 30 years and did so without shame or apology using hypocrisy and false equivalency as tools of deciet and revisionist history.MrBrinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05756047501304885376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2000061249436912064.post-72447238370868836662009-09-15T16:43:17.280-05:002009-09-15T16:43:17.280-05:00Maybe Anonymous is a Nazi...heh? :)Maybe Anonymous is a Nazi...heh? :)Ranch Chimphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14086251248546955720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2000061249436912064.post-41658338895853037232009-09-14T17:36:22.977-05:002009-09-14T17:36:22.977-05:00wow Annette this wingnut is NUTS!!

Look it up. We were facing a dot-com bubble and government revenues were decreasing.<br /><br />2) Clinton also claimed that Saddam was trying to get WMDs and used military force against Saddam, remember? Did Clinton lie too?<br /><br />3) Bush blew a big ass hole in the budget (the $1.3T figure).<br /><br />Obama increased that to $9T and that's supposedly OK? <br /><br />4) I saw plenty of *left-wing* nuts during the Bush years. They were just as bad as the "wingnuts" you criticize. Did you criticize your own?<br /><br />So here's some "old" and "new" rules you should go by:<br /><br /><b>Old:</b> Bushco *stole* the elections!<br /><b>New:</b> Obama is not a native born citizen!<br /><br /><b>Old:</b> Bush is Hitler!<br /><b>New:</b> Obama is Hitler!<br /><br /><b>Old:</b> Plenty of earmark pork in the Federal budget when Bush/Republicans controlled the government.<br /><b>New:</b> Plenty of earmark pork when Obama/Democrats control the government.<br /><br /><b>Old:</b> Bush shouted down by Democrats in speech to Congress, 2005.<br /><b>New:</b> Obama called liar by Wilson, 2009<br /><br /><b>Old:</b> It's unpatriotic to criticize Bush!<br /><b>New:</b> You're a racist if you criticize Obama!<br /><br /><b>Old:</b> Bush sends billions to Wall Street without adequate supervision<br /><b>New:</b> Obama sends billions to Wall Street without adequate supervision<br /><br /><b>Old:</b> Bush elected by a very divided electorage<br /><b>New:</b> Obama elected by a very divided electorate {not a mandate as he claims}<br /><br /><b>Old:</b> Liberals scare elderly to stop Social Security reform<br /><b>New:</b> Conservatives scare elderly to stop health care reform<br /><br /><b>Old:</b> Bush promises new era of bipartisanship in DC after he gets elected.<br /><b>New:</b> Obama promises a new era of "postpartisanship" when he gets elected. {BS to both}Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
