Why does Obama imitate Bush?

I asked for your rationalization about your comment regarding dignity to the white house and how Bush brought that.

This has nothing to do with Obama.

Lets recap:
Obama :   I will bring the troops home.\
troops :  we vote for that
Obama :   I cant honor our dead- I am going to a canrival

Bush:   I will not bring the troops home

Obama:   I will bring the troops home with in 16 months

Troops:  why are we still here?

Obama: hope and change and carnivals and oil spills.

Bush:  Oil is needed for our way for life

Obama:  I won the Nobel Peace Prize.
Bush:  I made you safer

Obama:   I love goldmans Sachs
Bush:  I love JMP

I happen to think Obama has more than enough sense to listen to those in the field, pa. I also happen to have enough faith in the man to listen to all sides before making a decison, something he is well known for. Pulling out too early could lead to more problems than solutions.

Obama was given a bad situation. Just because he isnt dealing with it in a manner YOU find pleasing doesnt mean he isnt doing what is best.

Now, where is your admission you were wrong.

Somehow, I don't think that the birthers and teabaggers got the memo that Obama was Bush's third term, did they? I do find it a bit offensive that the incompetent monetarist dickheads who appear to be running the Republican party now were able to hand the baby over to the other lot and leave them to take the blame for the eight years of mismanagement that started coming home to roost when the economy collapsed.

While I have never served nor ever wished to, I would like to take this moment to thank all the people like me who due to their apathy and lack of desire of getting blown up have created this great nation that we live in today.

I take this time to thank me and all of those like me. the non-servers. The backbone of this great nation.

Thank you for your non service....God bless you all.

In the list of years Bush celebrated D day- vs what you claimed-  you claimed more years then - as it turned out- he skipped D day.

I am partially wrong.

Or Bush's failure to commemorate in 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006. 2007 or 2008?/snip

Do you have a link for this?

I thought Bush did commemorate D day. If not I will admit I am wrong.

quote:

Bush administration commemorated D-Day in 2001 and 2004, but spent others in meetings and at least one concert. White House archives of June 6 for each year President Bush was in office only show Bush commemorating D-Day in 2001 and 2004. In 2001, Bush dedicated a D-Day memorial in Virginia, and in 2004, he went to Normandy to mark the 60th anniversary of D-Day. There are no "news" references to D-Day in 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, or 2008.

On 2005 D-Day anniversary, Bush hosted a concert celebrating Black Music Month and did not recognize the holiday. While Hoft and Fox criticized Obama for attending a "party" instead of recognizing the anniversary of D-Day, on June 6, 2005, Bush held a concert at the White House celebrating Black Music Month. According to the White House archives, Bush also did not commemorate the D-Day anniversary.

There was an interesting article in the NRA publication a few months ago concerning Lincoln and it told of his short service in the "local militia" and how the first time he called his men to attention they fell down laughing and how the men who served under him were a bunch of rowdy frontiersmen who did not take to discipline. They (the men not lincoln) broke into the supplies one night and stole all the booze and the end result was that lincoln was chucked out of the militia....not a big deal at the time but a funny sidelight on the history of a great leader.
I am a life member of the nra and they send me the "american rifleman" magazine every month. I am pretty sure it was a 2010 issue...I will check my stacks first chance I get and find the issue number and page and post it to you on c-mail.

I think your first statement was a little loose with the facts, then.

No the facts are that he was court martialed and thrown out of the militia.
A court martial is just a judicial proceeding (a military trial as opposed to a civilian trial.) He was suppose to be in charge of these fellows and was unable to control them so he got chucked out.

Lincoln's military service began and ended in 1832:

• Apr. 7. Lincoln is elected a captain in the 31st Regiment, Illinois Militia.
  
• Apr. 21. New Salem neighborhood volunteers for the Black Hawk War form a company and elect Lincoln captain.
  
• May 27. Captain Lincoln's company is mustered out of service at Fort Johnson, Ottawa. He then enlists in Capt. Elijah Iles' regiment for twenty days.
  
• June 16. Lincoln re-enlists in Capt. Jacob M. Early's independent spy company at Fort Wilbourn.
  
• July 10. The mustering-out roll of Capt. Early's company, written by Lincoln, is certified by lt. Robert Anderson ( who was to be command at Fort Sumter in 1861).
