Obama on Letterman 9/21/09

Nithernsays...

At least the guy holds news confresnces, and can go out in public. I recall that Bush had less press confreences in 8 years, then I have college degrees.

The war in afghanistan was not Obama's war. He didn't start it, nor run it in the the ground in favor of the OTHER unwise war in Iraq. No, no, no, that's Bush's fault. He has to get the US Military's eye back o nthe back in Afghanistan. It sucks to be honest. But if you can explain how we can get out of afghanistan, and NOT, allow the taliban/al quedia re-emerge itself, please explain.

Bad economy is the result of many systems within the federal goverment, being removed, reduced, and limited by Mr. Bush. Go look it up if you dont believe me. We had less regulators watching Wall Street during the Bush years, then in the Clinton years. So yes, Mr. Obama has had to shore up our economy. And THAT, is no easy or simple task.

A famous poet (whose name escapes me at the moment) once said of America "America gets the president she deserves" We had to endure a total idiot, with a fanatical White House, and a god-wishing deluded VP for 8 years, to finally, have a good president. Mr. Obama understands the forces and concepts in play right now. The things that are polarizing our nation into, two extreme halves that bicker over the little stuff, not to mention big things like health care and such.

But if you want to disagree, that's your right as American. And if your not an American, talking about my president? STFU! =)

Bush had at least 32 press conferences from 2001 to 2006. Can't find his final total, but I'd assume it's at least 40.

He didn't start it, true. But he IS running it into the ground. Obama (along with many other neolibs) have constantly complained that Iraq was the 'wrong war' and that the real focus should be Afghanistan. Well, he's been calling the shots for 8 months and has botched it to the point where his own commander says they're going to lose if things don't change.

Obama's real problem here is that he is held hostage by his kook-fringe base that wants him to disband the entire military industrial complex. Any increase in military activity is viewed as a betrayal by the kook left, and Obama is screwed. He can't 'win' in Afghanistan without significant military buildup & support. But any significant military spending or activity causes his kooks to go into literal spasms of hate and rage.

Bad economy is the result of many systems within the federal goverment, being removed, reduced, and limited by Mr. Bush.

To confine this to Bush is silly. Both Republicans & Democrats have been spiking the economic wheel with idiotic policies for decades. The financial house problems really started all the way back with Carter, were exacerbated under Clinton, and were fought for by both Repubican AND Democrat senators & congressmen. To say "Bush" here is pure bias.
