If you feel that I did not join the masses that were fooled by, yes..NOBAMA, than you ARE right (nor was I fooled by Bush..on that note, I do find it odd that it was very easy to bash/jump on Bush but now that is nobama, folks get up in arms).

I believe that segment did provide good analysis. You don't have to like someone, to admit that he/she may be write.

Lighten up blue! I was making a joke - I just thought it was funny that you felt the need to make sure everyone knew you were not an Obama follower as if you could not bear the thought of people thinking that even though it was already obvious. It makes no difference to me whether you like him or not.

But on a side note, I will say this. People with valid reasons for their argument tend to avoid distraction with name calling, etc. People usually use derogatory nicknames when they have little substance to bolster their weak arguments. Just saying.....

Yes! Why not? I have witnessed some really well reasoned and articulated back and forth debates on countless topics on this forum that left me quite impressed. Seriously, there are some really deep thinkers here. Did they occasionally devolve into name-calling? Certainly, but usually by the person losing the debate.

I did not know, the issue of obama being a horrid president was a debate...and as a veteran, his performance has been shameful.

So, I shall say it as I feel fit but I will also try not to hurt anyone's feelings.

As a veteran, what in particular do you find so shameful?

Why? You talk about how important it is to be informed, please demonstrate how informed you are, I am truly curious, and as a corollary, what do you think of Ronald Reagan?

I ask, because of this poll: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/jul/2/obama-worst-president-wwii-new-poll-shows/

Which has Obama as worst and Reagan as best, which is bizarre considering how Ronnie ran the deficit up, help sell weapons to Iran and gave weapons to people in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and didn't even 'win' the Cold War as much as Gorbachev decided to quit fighting it due to internal rot in the USSR, which are all things Conservatives probably wouldn't like if they thought about it for a few minutes.

OK..after reading through that blundering monologue, I will give you this.

I'm not going to hold your hand. You, I assume, an adult and are well capable of learning for yourself...unless, you simply do no pay attention to what is going on and, are simply looking to pick an internet fight...if there is such a thing.

Now, I suggest you hop to it, roger on, and learn for yourself.
