ISIS numbered one-two thousand with very few resources when Obama came to power.

Race riots under the first black President's watch is a massive failure.

Unsustainable (illegal) health care plan = "Obamacare".

Big Brother... NSA has become drunk with power under Obama, while whistle-blowers must run for cover.

May the drone of paradise fly up yer nose...

ISIS would have grown under ANY president - things suck over there and recruitment has been easy with each drone strike.

Race riots = protests against police action. It has hit a boiling point (again) after decades of oppression. You think these things just started?

Obamacare sucks - but thanks to the American's view of socialized medicine as something horrible and not even being an option - the country is stuck with it for now. Republicans aren't offering a solution, they just want to get rid of it overnight which will harm millions of people.

Yes, the Republicans put in a huge apparatus for listening to and reading all that we do (and storing it). Obama's record on whisitlblowers isn't great, which you didn't bring up in your first post (but hey - keep changing the goalposts) And once in place, the system for spying on your people and those around the world won't be dismantled - thanks Cheney!

Unlike most people down here (and you it seems) - I try to look at the issues with some nuance. Is he the greatest most awesome president in the history of the country or the Kenyan born Muslim intent on destroying the greatest nation in the history of the world™? Or is he like every president who came before him and will be judged by history to have made some good progress as well as some mistakes along the way.

In the big picture, I feel he has done a lot to repair the reputation with some countries after 8 eight years of Bush. Trump will undo all of that in a week (just look at his trip to Mexico).

But hey Doc - blame it ALL on Obama. It fits your briebarts' agenda well. Seriously, I know you're better than this.. I know you're capable of critical thought and not just regurgitated Right wing talking points. You can do it!!



PS: Since Clinton's going to win (and remember, we're talking about the election in this here thread) and WE'RE ALL DOOMED™ - let's just relax and have a virtual beer together.

Nope.

Race riots = protests against police action. It has hit a boiling point (again) after decades of oppression.

Racial tensions "hit a boiling" under the first black POTUS watch, now if he were a man of the People...

Remember he promised to unite America... did just the opposite.

Obamacare sucks

Amen brudda!

Yes, the Republicans put in a huge apparatus for listening to and reading all that we do (and storing it).

Remember he promised to reign that in... did just the opposite.

Obama's record on whisitlblowers isn't great, which you didn't bring up in your first post (but hey - keep changing the goalposts)

Not moving goalposts, it is part-n-parcel of dat der "Big Brother" thang.

In the big picture, I feel he has done a lot to repair the reputation with some countries after 8 eight years of Bush.

Wow, really?

Overall foreign relations are at an all-time low under Obamaramadingdong.

How y'all gettin along with the Bear and the Dragon?

PS: Since Clinton's going to win (and remember, we're talking about the election in this here thread) and WE'RE ALL DOOMED™ - let's just relax and have a virtual beer together.

As long as it's a "virtual" beer.

But yeahno 'mericans are ready for change they can truly believe in = Trump win.

[Cornuck]

It's so hard to tell when you're joking.

You need to remember that Obama has dealt the worst obstruction of any president. Combine that with the sheer hatred coming from the right - Bigotry? Who knows? But there has been a true movement to see him fail, yet he has done what he could (and yes, he's made some mistakes along the way) but when you have FOX, briebart and their ilk using the best tools of propaganda to turn a large percentage of the country against the president - something is very wrong.

So tell me how he was supposed to unite America when 43% of Republicans still think he's a Muslim and 20% of the country think he was born in Kenya?

I never liked Bush - I thought he was a little too simple-minded for the job and saw too much in black and white - but never did I come close to hating him with the extreme vile hatred that the propaganda machine has created against Obama.

Of course who ever gets in (spoiler alert: Clinton) (spoiler alert: We're all doomed™) there will be SO much more division and hatred than we've seen in the past 8 years.

Overall foreign relations are at an all-time low

I know you won't let stats or graphs get in your way... but... link

But as long as people like continue to see things in black and white... well, we truly are doomed.

As for China - they need us to buy their shit - we need them to build our shit - politics will not interfere with business.

As for Russia - your buddy trump will have a dark brown nose to contrast with his orange glow after his first meeting with Putin. Is that kind of relations you're looking for?

Well that's his problem.

I believe you didn't hate the Bushmeister, but he was largely hated (almost as much as Barack).

Speaking of hatred, has there ever been two Presidential candidates vilified this much?

Nice job "uniting the country" there Oblahblahma!

BTW Corn, your link proves relations with the Bear and the Dragon are deteriorating.

Israel as well of course.

Probably the three most important countries for USA to get along with in this present age..

[Strangelove]

Trending today... she's cheating!!

Sooo desperate, knows she's gonna lose...

[Cornuck]

We can thank the right-wing loonies for creating this mess through the classic use of propaganda. With the right making up shit and harping on ridiculous non-stories to bring down the image of the president, the idiots who watch it get brainwashed into thinking their country is going to hell and it's all Obama's fault!!!!

At least that keeps them distracted from thinking about their corporate overlords.

One of the first things I learned when I moved down here is that people have NO clue how to discuss politics. You're spoiled up there... you seriously are. Even 20 years ago, people had their minds made up and locked shut. Left - right - atheist - religious - progressive - conservative... it's just a mess that has gotten so much worse in the past 20 years.

You would honestly think that we have 2 presidents down here. You would think that there are 2 countries - one where it's all going to hell, and one where things are great. Of course, it's all relative and the truth is somewhere in the middle.

I've always thought that Canada should be the most incredible awesome country in the history the world (and it mostly is) - with abundant resources and a small population. What could go wrong? Why isn't everyone a millionaire up there? Point is - there's always room for improvement.

But back on point here - I need to eat soon (so now Doc can get the last word in ) - this country is fucked up - if only because things are going so well that people can waste their time (lives) watching propaganda, reading lying Facebook memes and then thinking they have the truth. And yes, it goes both ways.

But with that said, anyone who thinks trump will make an effective president (and this post is about the election, right) - is completely, fucking deluded. Anyone that thinks a narcissistic billionaire is going to help out the middle class is completely, fucking deluded. But hey, that could just be the propaganda speaking

[Strangelove]

country is going to hell and it's all Obama's fault!!!!

Butt seriously, I don't know how you survive down there, it's like Rollerball

... much more enjoyable from the sidelines.

Seriously, if it were me, I think I'd hafta go Independent!

I need to eat soon (so now Doc can get the last word in )

Well there, see, you're weak

... I once went a whole week without eating just to (seemingly) win a debate.

BTW here on the sidelines it would be much more enjoyable if The Donald wins this thing.

Obama rocks man, one of the best presidents in American history.

trump/hillary will be rough years, can't wait for these transitional years to be over already.

Word the other day was Assad is again chlorine bombing civilians.....where's that red line in the sand...oh Vlad's on it of course.

"I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration, somehow you're not patriotic, and we should stand up and say, "We are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration!"

- Hillary, April 28, 2003

http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/08/politics/ ... -election/

"Bizarrely once again, he [Trump] praised Russia's strongman, Vladimir Putin, even taking the astonishing step of suggesting that he preferred the Russian president to our American president. Now, that is not just unpatriotic and insulting, to the people of our country as well as to our commander in chief, it is scary," Clinton said.

Hillary, yesterday

Politics in both the US and Canada had better start getting involved with and changing the deplorable trade agreements with China. Maybe they need our shit, (our best natural resources and raw material at a DIRT CHEAP PRICE, makes me sick), But we DO NOT need as much of their finished products, much of which is below standard.
Keep on this path and N. America will have no second industries at all, you can already see it happening.
Never mind the low wages their workers make and the FACT, (look it up), that many of their workers are fed Meth to make them go faster, if they burn out, there's more.
We need more jobs here that don't involve flipping burgers or having to learn a second language to work at a bank or be a real-estate agent!!!!!
Let's develop and actually build and MANUFACTURE some of our own stuff.
Geez, maybe it will be good enough to sell to other countries, remember?

Right, Vlad is on line with the side doing the chlorine bombing. Which makes it all the harder for the US to do anything. And the US ally Turkey is bombing the US supported Kurds... Bush attacking Iraq has really created a mess down there. All the king's horses and all the king's men really couldn't help much at this point. Especially not with Putin so heavily involved with a regime the US would like to see gone.
