Im just saying what I have read on line concerning other world leaders, found it in very bad taste for him to go around the world saying crap about his own country ....say it from home amongst the homeys and it doesnt look as bad.

Did Bush apologize for Bill not getting Bin Ladin while he could?????????? Nope dont think so.

Honest Honu..I'm not sure where all these World leaders are who found it distasteful..unless Glenn Beck and Rush are World leaders. The US likes to think we are better than other countries and that's wrong. Bush ignored the World and World issues and Obama attempted to reconcile that and rightly so. The right would rather be isolationists and screw everyone else.

For gods sake..Did Bush think Bin Laden was rooming with Hussein? He kinda' decided to go in that direction rather than pursue Bin Ladin..even after 9/11. We can go tit for tat here..

I have to sleep..night Honu

cant argue that..

Nah man didnt someone on here post something a few days ago or a week ago I forget cause the days all runs together when you get a day off every 30 days or so . I swear I read something, maybe Rupert posted it and everyone who loves Barry went nutz , ah dunno but I swear there are statements somewhere that people in charge of countries thought he was a dusch for saying bad stuff about us abroad.
Dude Ill admit Im tired worked my second job today so I have been up since 4 am and I might be delusional.

Yes, I posted that article. The title was "World Sees Obama As Incompetent Amatuer".

I guess we'll see what happens in November. That article makes it sound like the Republicans are going to have huge gains in the House and Senate in the November elections. It said that it is possible that the Republicans could even gain control of both the House and Senate.

You say that the centrists may not support a Republican because they may feel he is too far to the right. I would argue that many of those centrists would not vote for Obama because they may now feel that he's too far to the left. We will see.

I assume you do realize that the Republicans will pick up seats in November. There is no doubt about that. The questions is how many seats.

Riot with her fingers in her ears and YELLING, "LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!

i read that other country's actually lost some respect for obama when he did just that. many societies feel it's in poor taste for one to bash one's own 'tribe', especially when doing so in front of another tribe. i'll try to find a link to that.

and yes, this is the same article rupert had linked a few days back.

that's still a win.....:



Forty-five percent prefer a GOP-controlled Congress after this year’s elections, compared with 43 percent who want a Democratic-controlled Congress.

This is the GOP’s second-straight lead on this generic-ballot question, which hasn’t occurred since 2002.

“The Republican Party has a major advantage in the fall, and this poll just reconfirms that,” says Democratic pollster Peter D. Hart, who conducted this poll with GOP pollster Bill McInturff.

Moreover, 32 percent say their vote this November will be a signal of opposition to President Obama, versus 27 percent who say it will be a signal of support for him. That’s a reversal from January, when 37 percent said their vote would be in support for the president, while 27 percent said it would be in opposition.


then there's this:

The problem is worse in swing areas. Last week's National Public Radio (NPR) poll of the 60 Democratic House seats most at risk this year showed just 37% of voters in these districts agreed Mr. Obama's "economic policies helped avert an even worse crisis and are laying a foundation for our eventual economic recovery"; 57% believed they "have run up a record federal deficit while failing to end the recession or slow the record pace of job losses."

and:

Mr. Obama's failures mean he can't lift his party by campaigning. A Public Policy Poll earlier this month reported that 48% said an Obama endorsement would make them less likely to vote for the candidate receiving it, while only one-third said they would be more likely to vote for a candidate endorsed by the president.

Republicans jumped into the lead last November in Gallup's party generic ballot match-ups among all voters, and since March the GOP has led or been tied every single week except one. In the Rasmussen Poll's tracking among likely voters, Republicans have been ahead by an average of seven points, 44% to 37%, since March. This reflects a significant political development—independents breaking for the GOP.

Then there is the intensity gap, which is particularly important in midterms. In Gallup, 45% of Republicans are "very enthusiastic" about voting this fall versus 24% of Democrats. This staggering 22-point gap is the largest so far this election year. And in the NPR survey of 60 swing Democratic districts, 62% of Republicans rated their likelihood of voting as 10, the highest. Only 37% of Democrats were similarly excited.

I know you guys will hate me for saying this, but Newt and the GOP congress made Clinton's presidency. He was heading down the wrong path (like Obama) until the Midterm elections and the GOP took congress.. Clinton went along with their idea's like they were his own. He figured out the best way to govern was from the center.

Clinton did a good job fiscally.. and he got to ride the .com wave.. but he completely screwed us by doing absolutely nothing about bin Laden, eventhough bin Laden carried out many attacks on the US (not really on our soil - but USS Cole and Kenya Embassy bombing, and many others).

If Clinton hadnt been such a freeking pu$$y, he could have created much disruption for bin Laden and his gang before 9/11 to happen.

The only time he did anything about it is when his impeachment hearing was going, and most believed he did some bombing just to take attention off that.

Its still a sad thing when Clinton was the best Pres of the past 20 years. (Ronnie blew him outta the water as far as Presidents go, though)

it was disgusting. for all the good we've done for the world, all the $ we spend out of our own damn pockets for other countries.. and this guy thinks he should apologize for us? Damn disgusting and insulting to the American citizens and the people who have died for this country.

But besides that "apology tour", I believe he made the right choice in hiring Clinton as SOS and I think she's done a very good job.

that might be the most inaccurate statement I've ever heard on the DT site, and that's saying something.

Did you forget to eat your wheaties yesterday Bob?

LMAO




Ah ... thanks ... REALLY needed a good belly laugh this morning.

Generalization, yes..innacurate no. When I have time I'll find the DT threads about US only and f' the rest of the World.

I think that's a bit dramatic Lori. Trying to make ammends with other countries has nothing to do with fallen war heroes. And I know a lot of American citizens who were very proud of what he did and felt a lot better about their country because of it.

considering it was you that replied.. it makes me feel much more confident in my opinion, Mr. "Goldielocks didnt want to try the beasts in the BCC" :rolleyes:

I dont know any who feel that way, except a handful of people on DT..

I felt extrememly insulted by that. There is no way an American president should apologize for this country.. the best country in the world. If he is sorry about it he has no right to be President.

And yes, it was an insult to the fallen patriots (IMO) especially the ones who have died fighting the war on terror.

yeah, Nascar and Del are the norm in the republican party :wf
