Re: United States 2012 Presidential Election

In less than 4 years as president, Obama has added nearly twice as much debt than Bush did in 8 years. Now thats definetly not amazing.

*that's, definitely

But that's largely because of the two wars Bush started

And no one ever said Obama was perfect, the debt is something against him, but it doesn't outweigh what he has done.

The debt didn't start when Obama was president, and the economy has grown ever since.

A lot of the debt was a result of two (now one) war(s) going on. Who started these wars? Oh, right, Bush.

Before you start saying something about bailouts, the government actually made a net profit off a bunch of those bailouts.

If bush didn't start those was, the Arab spring in 2004.

Many people blame the horrible stuff Obama did on bush. While his economy plans were feces, his foreign policies were actually quite thought out.

'We have no purpose being in the middle east'
No purpose? They killed 3,000 Americans in two hours! I should think we have every right to be in there.
'But Osama bin laden is dead! Everything is dandy!'
Dandy? Let me ask you something, was the Arab spring 'dandy'? How about a month ago, when the ambassador was dead, was that dandy?
'Well, it was all bush's fault he died'
No. NOTHING bush did would've resulted in that, and even if it was, Obama could have stopped it before anyone was fatally hurt. They were 30 minutes away from an American millitary settlement, nothing happened.
'No! I heard on MSNBC that... and I did no further research to back it up! It must be true!'
No, anything from MSNBC is generally biased and unresearched, like the Trayvon Martin shooting.

Also, I think that Fox is even more biased, such as their attacking Obama for the use of "non-optimal" to describe the attacks, while that was actually in a Jon Stewart interview and he was just replying using Jon Stewart's wording.
Also, I actually live rather close to the Trayvon Martin case, and probably know a lot more about it than you do.

Re: United States 2012 Presidential Election

I watched a clip from the presidential debate of the other night.
Romney said: "We have fewer navy ships in the military now than we did in 1916..."
Then Obama fired back and said: "Well, Governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets than we did in 1916!"

Owned.
Romney must've looked like an idiot xD

That was actually pretty arogant for the President of the United states

It was also incorrect, we still use horses for steep and rugged terrain and bayonets are very much common.

What he said after which went something like 'we don't need the navy, or ships, we have aircraft carriers!' made no sense and contradicted what he said earlier about having a strong naval presence in the Pacific.

Are you serious? You would base your vote on a poor decision he made years ago? What effect does that have on his ability to be President? Does it significantly reflect on his character? At most, it maybe shows that he was pretty dumb back then. Also, there are more Republicans than dogs in the US.

Nice job. I hate it that the Obama supporters are so desperate, they put "Obama 2012" in their signatures. No offense, Obama.

Nope. He inherited a steeply dropping economy when he took the presidency, an it's on the track to recovery. It's a lot easier to break something than to build it (back) up. *cough*bush*cough*

If bush didn't start those wars, the Arab spring would have occured in 2004.

Shouldn't have been started? Without them we wouldn't have found bin laden, which you credit Obama so heavily for.

That was a result of the video. The only way to have prevented that would be to censor the internet, and I really hope you don't want that.
If it was from a YouTube video, why were the extremists angry at America and not the video maker? I'm also not for Internet censorship, it's just something the government's wants to do that they could just leave to the people.

That's actually nowhere near what people are saying that. While killing him was a big step, everyone (including, and especially Obama) realize that it's not the final one
I've heard people mention it from time to time.

Just because I dislike Obama doesn't mean I worship Glenn beck or any other newscaster, after I hear a story on fox, I generally check with other news stations or websites to get my own opinion, for example, MSNBC said George Zimmerman was a crazed, rascist killer. I then checked with CNN who said George thought he was a criminal, but was wrong. I then checked fox who said Trayvon was a terrible killer who threatened George's live, so he tried to defend himself. Also, living closer to an event gives you almost no credibility, unless you were a witness

People can't be born billionaires. Most work hard for it, and some inherit it from their parents who work hard after they die, after the child has probably been pressured into being perfect.

And yes, poverty is sad, but if you're poor because you were too lazy too get up and find work, then you should be frowned at especially since there is a job hiring in a two mile radius of any city.
