Obama: The US is the most respected country in the world

[sr71plt]

Obama disgusts me, I literally become nauseous every time I see him on television.

Bush was okay, even Clinton wasn't bad, but there's something very unnerving about Obama.

Must be his race.

You mean Reagan the drug dealer that sold weapons to America's enemies?

Don't forget he brought socialized HC to the US!! The Republitards LOOOVE to forget that so they can blame Obama for it....all that RW personal responsibility and all.

Here's an image. Do you think it projects weakness?

That's a pretty scary pie chart. Someone might choke.

And won The Cold War.

And won The Cold War.

Of course that idea hinges on the fact that communism/socialism can work just fine.

And how do you go about winning a war that never happened?

Just because once in 6th grade you puffed your chest out at another 6th grader and called them bitch a bunch while they did the same thing back to you until the two of you got bored doesn't make you a champion fighter.

We lost a "war" in Vietnam that never happened.

Different circumstances and situations....


Having a war and calling it a police action because you got your ass kicked ain't the same as calling a posturing match a war.

Good thing we didn't lose it (Cold War) then. So, it's kinda like the Holocaust- never happened.

Got it.

Are you going to admit that Communism could have worked just fine then?

There was no win or loss of the cold war.....the other chest pounding middle schooler just ran out of posturing steam first and then we set about justifying our republican welfare programs, I'm sorry I meant military expenditures, elsewhere.....like a holy crusade in the middle east we can pimp out to corporate America for a premium!!

You're seriously comparing a posturing contest to the bloodiest most over the top war in all of human history?? Really? LOL keep scraping the bottom of the buuushit barrel cupcake.....

What's with all the underage school references? Did you get beat up a lot...sorry, rhetorical.

How else could one characterize the cold war other than adolescent chest thumping??

A race to stockpile the most doomsday weapons is certainly not the action one would expect out of a bunch of rational minded individuals now is it? Oh wait I forgot who I was talking to...sorry, rhetorical.

I guess you forgot how the story ended.The USSR just up and changed its name.

No I already told you, the other chest thumping tween ran out of steam (money) first....

Doesn't change the fact it was a bunch of childish bullshit and a complete waste of fuckin' time/money for everyone over the dumbest fucking thing possible outside of religion.....and about as much of a war as tween chest pounding is a UFC title match.

What are 19? It was a pretty big deal for Berlin. The Ukraine. etc.

Chest pounding? You're a 19 year old gorilla.

Banana?

I didn't say the collapse of the USSR wasn't a big deal, I said the cold war wasn't a war....

I might be but at least I can read.....

Once again there is nothing Obama can do or say to make the weak minded lemmings turn against him.

Fucking amazing.

Just when you think The Fraud has outdone himself he comes up with another whopper:

“One of my core principles is that I will never engage in politics in which I’m trying to divide people.”

 

[Black_and_White_Writer]

People on both sides of the aisle talk about the Reagan years. I remember listening to a speech by him during either the Clinton or W presidency. The American pride that Reagan had and made you feel was quite moving. It's said how now we have someone who apologizes for being American.

I think he's just apologising for the last administration, or for not being the administration to his detractors.

 

[imalickin]

Why did I laugh when I read the title of this thread?

 

[contrifan32]

I think he's just apologising for the last administration, or for not being the administration to his detractors.

So thats the game, first blame the previous administration during the first 6 years of "hope and change" and then apologize for the last administration with you tail between you legs during your last 2 years?

I will go with delusional.

Valid that it was not a rational set of rules of engagement, but they were very much real rules. There were actual people with fingers on actual buttons.

I am not exactly sure of your age but I suspect you were not quite old enough to have experienced when with great relief the cold war "ended." (It actually did not end but it felt like it did.)

Mutual Assured Destruction was MADness, of course but it was also the actual policy in place for both countries. Both countries had the actual, not theoretical, actual, ability to ruin the planet. More than once, we came close to "oops."

It has less to do with his age and more to do with... well, ummm, do you remember Jeff Spicoli from Fast Times at Ridgemont High?
