lawrocket 3 #51 April 27, 2011 QuoteYou really should stick to Canadian history and not American.. The debt was on the way down at the end of Clintons term No. There has not been a year since you have been alive that the national debt has not increased. Even the two years of balanced budgets (passed by the GOAT FUCK STUPID Party) were only "balanced" by "borrowing" money from off-the-books sources. I believe that the Canadian has a better idea of US history than you. Maybe it's because he's not so focused on hating one party/viewpoint. Show me a year during the Clinton Presidency that the US National Debt decreased. You cannot because it didn't happen. I also note that debt is also contributed by spending a lot. LEt's say the government did not spend over $3 trillion last year and instead limited it to, oh, say $1.5 trillion. WOuld the debt have increased? I'd venture to say "no." Have you ever considered that the answer is more complex than Republicans bad? I agree that there is little difference between the GOP and Democrats - they both suck ass. However, our history seems to show that a GOP Congress and a Dem POTUS is the only time when things start approaching some degree of rationality. My wife is hotter than your wife.

CanuckInUSA 0 #55 April 27, 2011 QuoteThe debt was on the way down at the end of Clintons term. In the 1980s Ronald Reagan allowed the financial sector to deregulate. Reagan's policies started the whole financial sector slide. But Bill Clinton allowed this deregulation to expand in the 1990s. Under Clinton's watch, Citicorp and Travelers was allowed to merge into Citigroup to create the largest financial services corporation in the world. But this merger was illegal since banks with consumer deposits were not supposed to be allowed to engage in risky banking activities. Under Clinton's watch the financial services regulators turned a blind eye to this merger until Congress was able to change the law. The investment banks were then allowed to fuel uncontrolled speculation in the DOT.COM businesses (most of which were bogus) and this resulted in the DOT.COM bubble starting to burst in 2000 (all before GWB came on the scene). In his 8 years, GWB allowed further abuse in the financial services sector and now we are where we are today. You need to take your partisan blinders off as a non-partisan would blame Reagan, Clinton and GWB for the mess we find ourselves in. Oh to get back on topic, I caught "The Donald" today saying something about how he is happy he helped bring this "Birth Certificate" issue out in the open but he was still waiting for verification that the certificate was authentic. The guy is a Doofuss. But he was right about one thing, the media has been all over "The Donald" dissecting his every move. The media on the other hand has given Obama a free pass. Hollywood has created this Obama savior of the world myth and it is amazing that some people still view the community organizer lawyer as their messiah. Obama is not a stupid man. But he is no savior, he is no messiah and he did not have the experience to be president. He was simply a media created icon and the lemmings ate it up with all his "Hope and Change" nonsense.

billvon 2,990 #64 April 27, 2011 >The media on the other hand has given Obama a free pass. Exactly. Because we have never heard about Obama "throwing his grandmother under the bus." No news station has ever reported on the Birther conspiracy theory. We've never heard about Obama's indecision on Libya, his sliding popularity numbers, or his bowing to foreign princes. There's been no criticism in the media concerning his response to the economy, the housing bubble or the bank failures. No one here has ever heard of Tony Rezko, Bill Ayers or Jeremiah Wright. You're right, he's been completely protected by the media. (Well, perhaps all that's true in Canada, at least.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wsd 0 #67 April 28, 2011 QuoteIsn’t there more important issues? People who believe that president Obama wasn’t born in the US are simple ignorant and have no clue about immigration process (I do ‘cause I went through it). President Obama’s citizenship wasn’t ever a question; the only issue is whether he was or was not born in America. If Obama wasn’t born in the United States he would have needed to go through a long process called naturalization in order to become a citizen. That process goes through multiple government agencies and most likely immigration lawyers too (even back then when things were easier); which means lot of record. That paper trail never surfaced so far. Years ago people bought fake green cards and forged SS cards which they could get away with even at DMV in some states. But trust me, if Obama had any kind of immigration documents (real or fake) his political opponents would have find out about it before he become a senator. Not in Illinois they wouldn't corruption and deceit is a common way of doing things in Illinois. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
