Obama's Hand Wringing

     Obama campaigned on Afghanistan being the right war to fight!!! Now faced with a decision to approve additional troops for that war,he is wringing his hands and can't come up with a decision!!! While the Taliban and al- Qaida are overrunning the countryside in Afghanistan and killing our troops in record numbers he wants to consult with George Soros and his Handlers to get permission to send more troops!!!

    Since Obama moved in the White House he has given over 120 speeches on the virtues of a government run health care system!!!

    He has met with General Mc Chrystal only once in the last 70 days to discuss Afghanistan!!!

Obama is in constant campaign mode going around looking for support for his Socialist Agenda, while ignoring our Brave young men & women sacrificing their lives and limbs for us every day!!!

Either send more troops or bring them home immediately!!! Maybe Obama can get down on his knees and plead with the UN for help!!! I'm sure Gaddafi,Chavez,Ahmadinejad,Castro,Ortega and other outstanding members of the UN would be sympathetic to his pleas!!!

" To Fix the Economy:
You don't have a clue what your talking about!!!
Most cities that hold Olympics LOSE money!!!The only people who make money are hotels and restaurants and apartment owners!!!
The cities themselves spend more money than they take in!!
The people in the cities end up paying taxes for the facilities while the few businesses make a killing at their expense!!! Like Valarie Jarret,Resco,David Axlerod and other cronies of Obama!!! "

" To Outraged & Becky--Well President Obama didn't get this war going, so why should he bury his head in the sand? "

One point is that we are not pro-Republican, we are pro America and anti Socialist. It does not matter to us what anyone says - either party - unless it is patriotic. "

" You are simply outraged that people of color have the means to own rental property. Had the Olympics gone to Chicago they would not have been the only ones to benefit; those are the only ones that were singled out IF what you say is true.
I find it amusing that Louisiana can accuse Chicago of dirty politics when Louisiana has been known for years as the most corrupt in the country! "

" There is NO EVIDENCE that Acorn's voters committed ANY fraud; sure, some of the employees assigned to register voters turned in registrations with looney-tune names. Did these looney tunes show up to vote? None that have been found. Why is it that Acorn has been targeted? Because they represent poor people in depressed areas who feel that they have no say in this political process, no say in this country, and they tend to vote Democratic! Since you have researched Acorn so thoroughly, why don't you research Halliburton and KBR, companies that our former VP was associated with? "

Do you have any idea what kind of economic stimulus having the Olympics in your country provides? You don't think an influx of millions of dollars would help the economy and create jobs?

No of course you didn't think about that, you just want to complain about the president. "

" <<To Becki and Outraged>> The Obama's are campaigning to have the Olympics in Chicago for their cronies and Political Payback. Beginning with Mayor Daley to Valerie Jarrett (Chief Advisor to Pres. Obama and like a sister to Obama) who has rental housing in Chicago destined to be demolished which means pushing out the poor to build sport complexes for the Olympics. Do some research. It's all there for YOU to read for yourself. Oh, yes, the good citizens of the US who were registered fraudulently by ACORN. Look up ACORN and read for yourself. "

She received a "ETHICS WAIVER" to work on the Olympics!!!! Can you imagine that!!! AN ETHICS WAIVER!!! Only in the Obama administration!!!! She's the one that advised Obama to hire Van Jones,you know the GREEN CZAR that just happened to be a self-avowed COMMUNIST and BLACK NATIONALIST!!!! Change You Can Believe In!!!! "

" To Loving: When Bush was president the drive-by media was closing every afternoon news program with a memorial showing the names of fallen brave young men and women!!! I salute them for that!!! BUT where are the memorials for our troops NOW???? Could it be that the media were trying to vilify George Bush for causing these deaths???? Their MAJOR objection was to inflame the voters against Bush!!!! Why aren't these brave men and women deaths shown after each broadcast now???? Simple,Barack is in charge!!! They won't do anything to tarnish "THE CHOSEN ONE"!!! "

" PRESIDENT Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama are trying to bring the Olympics to Chicago; if successful will bring an economic boom to the city; President Obama will be gone for 24 hours. George and Laura Bush, while GW was president, spent 4 DAYS at the Olympics in China enjoying themselves! STOP trying to micro-manage President Obama, head of the United States of America; he doesn't answer to your commands, YOU are not his boss!
BECKI, he was voted into office by our good citizens of other US states, NOT from the small narrow-minded state of Louisiana! "

" Loving: By the way, General McChrystal has said that without additional troops, the mission in Afghanistan "will likely result in failure". The fact that you call this a "molehill", alone, is all the evidence I need to consider you nothing more than a cheerleader for the President. It is clear that you have invested so much "HOPE" in this President, that to acknowledge his shortcomings would mean admitting your naivete. So I don't blame you for holding on to the illusion. Your unconditional defense of Obama is similar to a child defending the existence of Santa. "

Cajunator wrote on Sep 30, 2009 5:27 PM:

" Loving: I didn't agree with Bush's delayed response for armoring vehicles either. But why are your responses always an attempt to draw parallels? Instead of addressing the question,"Is Obama lying", you try to draw parallels using Wilson's 2003 vote. Instead of addressing additional troop requests in Afghanistan, you try to draw parallels to Bush. So where's the "Change"? Remember the "McSame" slogan? Why don't you actually ANSWER the questions? By the way, according to your "Daily KOS", July was the deadliest month yet in Afghanistan, so if you want to draw parallels, why aren't you posting "The Death Count"? "

" To LovingGOPmeltdown; Rasmussen and Gallup polls are independend . Both have been conducting polls for many years, and Bush haters didn't mind quoting them when his numbers were low. Clinton haters didn't mind using them when they were usefull to them either. Why now can they not be trusted.? "

" Not that this is the point of this thread, but Mitt Romney applauded the President's trip on behalf of the United States effort to get the Olympics. "

" I just wonder what kind of theatrics we would have seen if President Bush would have gone on such shows as Letterman while the war was going on. And how the left would have howled had he tried to secure the Olympics for Texas so all of he and Laura's friends could capitalize on the real estate deals which they will benefit from. Obama only used the Afghan war as a campaign priority in order to secure Independent votes, he doesn't care about our troops or winning this war. "

" Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill. The time for outrage was when Obama's predecessor declared two silmultaneous wars then completely ignored the pleas for additional protection for soldiers by commanders on the ground.I suppose it didn't bother you that while our soldiers were dying by the hundreds in Iraq and Afghanistan due to massively inept planning and lack of protection, Bush was living the life of a retiree at "the ranch".

To Becki:

I'll trust a Rasmussen poll when you trust a Daily Kos poll. Deal? "

" He can not run the office of President. How he got elected is beyond my imagination. Now he is going to the Olympic committee in Denmark to sell the Olympics to be held in CHICAGO! his and Oprah's home town! He should be sitting at his desk helping the PEOPLE to get jobs, fix the economy and healthcare. According to Rasmussen Polls his approval was last at a -10! Wake Up America! He is out to Fundamentally Transform America! "

" Barack & Michelle are planning a personal pitch for the 2016 Summer Olympics ! They will travel to Denmark to appeal in person!!!

While our troops are dying every day defending our freedom our Commander in Defeat and his wife are using their enormous personal charm to secure the Olympics!!!

General Mc Chrystal's request for immediate help is sitting on Gates' desk!!!Our troops are sleeping in foxholes under fire while our FEARLESS LEADER travels around the world promoting the Olympics!!!

I guess Soros didn't approve of the troop request!!! "
