1. The role of the President is to guide the nation, he doesn't hold full control due to checks and balances. Congress has just as much. So for Obama to strive for change is all he can do, it is up to the American people.
2. He doesn't want to get rid of nuclear weapons as far as I know of. He is for National security, he's just not an interventionist.
3. Ok? Gas prices are high because there is a limited supply and they are predicting it will run out. Its becoming a commodity. And do you even know why we're in Iraq? Oil is a non replinisheable recource I hate to tell ya. It does replinish but not at the rate that we use it.
4. Thats because Bush is an idiot. Besides Obama is older than Bill Clinton was when he was elected and look where he steered us. A surplus rather than a national debt.
5. Um, ok it would be a pretty hard to compare Obama and a dictator but feel free to extrapolate...
6. He doesn't want to mandate nationwide health unsureance, its just a goal. Hey, cheaper health care, sign me up! Its costing me out the gazoo right now just for small stuff that the insurance won't cover. And taxes? Is that your biggest worry? 2 cents here and there = cheaper health insurance, that sounds like a better equation than -0.09 of every dollar at the coinstar but thats just me. I'm ok with taxes as long as the bigger picture is looking alright
1. This is correct.
2. Getting rid of nuclear weapons....not thinkin' it's such a bright idea.....shhh.....President Tom wants them, kinda bad. :?
3. For the last time, the Iraq war is not about oil. Liberals continue to hold onto this pipe dream and it's so dumb. I've been there, I've had friends die there. If I turn out to be wrong in any way about this, if George Bush said to my face that this was all just about Oil and he really doesn't care how many guys died over it, then I'll believe it and take action.
4. Wrong on Clinton, as is most everyone in the country drinking Clinton Kool-Aid. Research the whole story rather then just that fact.
5. I'm not comparing Obama to a dictator, nor will I ever do so. Same thing with people who try to say he's a closet muslim or stupid things like that, it just damages our Real conservative arguements to why the guy is no good.
6. Your example of 2 cents here and there shows me you don't know a lot about economics. It's like the people who say Cap and Trade wont impact our lives, completely and utterly false. Companies will pass the cost on to us, the consumers. Same thing with Windfall Profit Taxes Obama preaches on implimenting. You honestly think Companies will be excited to keep business in America with government forcably shrinking their profits? Gimmie a break...
1. Thankyou
2. Yea I don't think we should get rid of them
3. Never said anything about the war being about oil...
4. I'm not drinking kool-aid buddy, do some research on the national debt and the GDP, its pretty apparent who took us up in the nation and who brought us down. And yea Obama is 47, almost the exact age as Clinton when he was elected in 93'.
5. ...
6. I know a good deal about economics, I've studied at UT and all throughout highschool for Debate. Economics has nothing to do with the paper dollar. Its all about allocating recources. All we would be doing is allocating war recources to our national health care system. If we're not sick all the time and paying huge health debts the nation will be significantly stronger. Think about it, there are kids who go without healthcare and adults and elder people who are afraid to get adequate care because of debts. What we need is to get people out of debt and focus on international trade. The value of our dollar is going down because we don't have much to show for it. Its not the value of our dollar that counts, its the weight we hold in comparison to the rest of the world. And prosperity doesn't start from the top down like repubs like to think, it starts from the bottom up. Big businesses won't be hurt by taxes. Small businesses might be mildly effected, but once the economy starts flourishing then they won't mind an extra % on what they make. And while repubs like to think that the pres. will directly affect them with their tax cuts that are really hurting us more than doing us good (being that they go towards infrastructure etc.) are sadly mistaking. Taxes affect the whole, so paying taxes is good. If the US is gonna go to hell if I don't give them a percentage of what I make then I'm going to do it. As long as it goes to the right places. The only thing that I don't support is social security, I think thats the biggest bs ever. People should save for their own retirements. So if we got rid of ss and the military debt than we would easily be able to cheapen healthcare.
