Has he measured up to your expectations and, if so, could you share with us what you see that he has done to improve your life or the country that pleases you.

So far for me Obama is the most frightening president I have seen: Trillions deficit spending is scary, US Congress leadership and recent practice how laws are passed is scary, bailouts, Ms. Clinton begging Chinese for money are  scary etc....

Really?

So you didn't find Bush taking the federal debt from under $5 trillion to over $11 trillion scary?

You didn't find the $700 billion bank bailout Bush pushed through scary?

You didn't find the fact we have been importing a record trade deficit from China throughout the Bush administration which labeled the country (and rightfully so) a major violator of human rights scary?

Have you been living in a cocoon and somehow missed all the reports of Dubya's cocaine use?  Not to mention he had to be "born again" because apparently he couldn't control his drinking.

ORIGINAL: SpinnerofTales

First of all, I find it reprehensible that you bring up the fact that Obama admitted that he experimented with cocaine as an argument for mistrust. Though I loathed and still loath Bush the Younger, I never stooped so low as to bring up his former drinking problems as a reason he was an unfit president. To try to tie the responsibilities and power of the presidency to a youthful experimentation with marijuana and cocaine is beneath you.

We all know that addicts and alcoholics can never redeem themselves.  They can't ever hope to be anything better than a fry-cook.  How dare GWB spread this lie that people with addiction issues can overcome their problems.  Frankly, I think anyone that is struggling with alcohol or drug addiction should just stick a pistol in their mouth.

So is your point that only those who have been Governer should be elected president.

Yes, a typical response from you TH.

You avoid answering what you know you cannot defend and instead prefer to imply that anyone who disagrees with you just doesn't measure up to your enormous intellect, or "just doesn't get it" as you so often like to say.

No. And in the interest of not trying to put words in my mouth, you should have made that a question, instead of a statement. I said executive office. Being the guy in charge of something. Being the guy in charge when bad things happen. Lincoln was a Captain in the militia. I would count something similar on Obama's resume, but it isn't there. ORIGINAL: TheHeretic

        No, RML, you just don't get it.  This is poli-sci 101 shit.  It would have been high-school civics 20 years ago, but somebody decided to let the teachers unions be in charge of our schools.

So basically, is what you're now saying is that if Obama had been a captain in the armed forces...or Texas national guard for an equal amount of time that Lincoln served, your fears would be at least somewhat abated?

You are just darling, cute as a fuckin' button! How did you learn to type? Truly gifted!  I must say you have one of the most extensive vocabularies I have ever witnessed for one so young.  Want some ice cream?...Open the hanger cuz here it comes....Zoooooooooom!!!!

    How about experienced with ANYTHING, Spinner?  With the exception of his campaign, which was all about him, what has he ever run?

I am so tired of listening to this inane argument that somehow suggests a U.S. Senator is not qualified to be President because he did not "run" anything.

What exactly does that mean anyway?  The lame executive experience argument that we've heard so much about?

In case it has escaped your attention, we have a legislative body that is an equal branch of government, that passes the laws we all live by.  Somehow, that seems to qualify as "running things" for me.

Here's an unsettling thought.  We know from his writings that he liked cocaine.  Power is the greatest drug on the planet, and a man who has never had any, is suddenly mainlining on all of it.  What experience does he have in restraining that?  What will it do to him, as the weeks turn into months and years in that office?

   Spin that.

No shit?

He liked cocaine?

And what "executive experience" did your guy McCain have?

Zero.

You we`re saying?

When the two were matched,your guy lost.

Get over it.The process you`re going through now isn`t healthy.
