(1,589 posts)Obama has never been a liberal. Your version of 'democrat' is more along the lines of liberal. Obama is in fact a pretty damn fine democrat. Ask any of the gays in this country right now. Ask the female gunner we have in my rocket artillery battalion. as the credit card companies, the health insurance industries. the Stimulus put me back to work. Ask every single fucking man and woman in the military about how much they'll miss the constant deployments to Iraq. Wait a year and then ask them about afghanistan. I cant wait till my soldiers stop dying in that country, you?
there is really little difference between you and boehner. Neither one of you are offering alternatives, or realize that a president can only do so much. You need to realize the laws and precedents, _and the power_ behind our intelligence communities and programs. No president can simply switch it off. Maybe by the end of his term he'll have been able to do something about this.
I also trust this man when he pulls the trigger. I served one war already under Bush and his idiots, and it was a fucking catastrophe. We just passed the 10 year anniversary of our first troop killed in combat there. I left the service and waited until a democrat was in office to re-enlist. I have full trust in THIS president not to send us anywhere willy nilly. Yeah, he's a TERRIBLE president. to re-instill confidence that I can serve my country and my life wont be thrown away. Wow.
