TODAY IS THE DAY AMERICA (TUESDAY 8/31)…that members/groups of the Muslim Brotherhood meet with top government officials to see how they can bypass normal procedures to get leftover stimulus monies. Now we know why they haven’t spent it before…it was being saved by the first Muslim in our White House for his brothers!

This will be done for them before he speaks to America tonight! Why is the media (cable and/or network) not covering this meeting? http://bigpeace.com/cbrim/2010/08/29/coming-augus....

We Americans have never had such an ill prepared, uninformed LOSER as president EVER. Obama is as EPICALLY BAD as Carter ever was and is setting NEW LOWS for presidential performance…what a disgusting fool.

Flat speech, acceptable until he got to economics and politics. At least he didn't try to take credit for the surge, and made mention of President Bush – although linking it to his "surge" in Afghanistan.

Obama added Offal to the Oval Office on economics. Hey Bro! Democrats control the House and Senate. Talk to them about the Small Business "Jobs bill" that you opposed while Senator. 5 years required to be eligible for this Bill's capital gains provision? Nuts. $26 billion to prompt banks to loan over five years? An extra $5.2 billion/yr with tons of bureaucratic strings attached? Spitting into the wind of a $14,500 billion economy. If this economic mental case thinks that will move America forward and "begin" to answer problems left by Bush he is delusional.

I cannot watch the Clown-in-Chief, but from what I read, he praised Bush's support of the troops? Well, gee, thanks a lot, seeing how his plan worked up to this point, and the only reason he's drawing down now is because this was the agreement Bush made with the Iraqi government. Liar! Takes credit that is not his, except to NOT keep his promise to pull troops out when he said he would which would have been disastrous. I cannot stand this man. Nov 2012 cannot come soon enough. I hope he enjoys his one and only term as president, because their ain't gonna be a second term.

Obama didn't give President Bush credit for the surge. Of course this is from the liberal playbook. Blame everything bad on Bush and don't give him any credit for what he did good. You will remember that this is the President who had a Green Job Czar who said President Bush orchestrated 9/11. His name is Van Jones, a communist.

Throwing Iraq under the bus and then, when the falafel hits the fan, he'll just blame Bush.

He was against the war before he took credit for the successes it brought to the Iraqi people.

Every time I hear him speak I get dizzy and nauseated. Is there an app for that?

No. . he was just against 'us' winning the war. He was wrong about the war, he wanted the insurgents to win. His position was similar to Michael Moore's. Moore predicted 'our' defeat.. That's what Obama and Biden wanted. Joe was also against the surge. He wanted us to fail.

What was the 'I', 'Me', 'My' count for this one? Here's when my eyes rolled so hard I temporarily lost my balance:
"…like my grandfather." He had to somehow throw himself in there when praising the troops – he couldn't allow them to take all the credit. Find that bit in the speech and you'll puke. And he even found time to mention 'Post Traumatic Stress' – because we can't just thank American soldiers without mentioning that they're probably crazy and/or irreparably damaged.

This is as close to presidential as he'll ever be. Sure he wants to turn the page on Iraq, because he was completely against it, said the surge would fail, and still can't say Bush was successful. Now we're 'on offense' in Afghanistan for a limited time… we're going to draw down and put Afghanistan's future in the hands of Afghans, regardless of success in eliminating the threat to American interests, which is why we were there in the first place. Another non sequitur. We were not in either war primarily for the future of those populations, so to leave and let them take their own future in hand ignores the question of our primary mission. What if the enemy just waits in their caves until we leave???

"There's no question that Saddam Hussein is a threat… Yes, he has chemical and biological weapons. He's had those for a long time. But the United States right now is on a very much different defensive posture than we were before September 11th of 2001… He is, as far as we know, actively pursuing nuclear capabilities, though he doesn't have nuclear warheads yet. If he were to acquire nuclear weapons, I think our friends in the region would face greatly increased risks as would we." — Wesley Clark on September 26, 2002

"What is at stake is how to answer the potential threat Iraq represents with the risk of proliferation of WMD. Baghdad's regime did use such weapons in the past.

It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons.

"The threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real, but as I said, it is not new. It has been with us since the end of that war, and particularly in the last 4 years we know after Operation Desert Fox failed to force him to reaccept them, that he has continued to build those weapons. He has had a free hand for 4 years to reconstitute these weapons, allowing the world, during the interval, to lose the focus we had on weapons of mass destruction and the issue of proliferation." — John Kerry, October 9, 2002

"(W)e need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime. We all know the litany of his offenses. He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation. …And now he is miscalculating America’s response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction. That is why the world, through the United Nations Security Council, has spoken with one voice, demanding that Iraq disclose its weapons programs and disarm.

>>>>>So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real, but it is not new. It has been with us since the end of the Persian Gulf War." — <<<<<<John Kerry, Jan 23, 2003

"Even today, Iraq is not nearly disarmed. Based on highly credible intelligence, UNSCOM [the U.N. weapons inspectors] suspects that Iraq still has biological agents like anthrax, botulinum toxin, and clostridium perfringens in sufficient quantity to fill several dozen bombs and ballistic missile warheads, as well as the means to continue manufacturing these deadly agents. Iraq probably retains several tons of the highly toxic VX substance, as well as sarin nerve gas and mustard gas. This agent is stored in artillery shells, bombs, and ballistic missile warheads. And Iraq retains significant dual-use industrial infrastructure that can be used to rapidly reconstitute large-scale chemical weapons production." — Ex-UN Weapons Inspector Scott Ritter in 1998 <<<—-WHO LATER LIED ABOUT HIS SITUATION AND WMD'S IN IRAQ!

Thanks for stomping the crap out of that troll. It's amazing how these idiots keep up the "Bush lied, people died" drivel in the face of years of Saddam Hussien threats and abuses of power. They also forget the support from democrat congress members that Bush had before the invasion. And finally, from Saddams mouth himself, he said after his capture that he wanted the Iranians to believe he had nukes, to keep shites at arms length. Hence, the deception. Also, the movement of equipment into Syria in the weeks before the invasion.

So, I'm guessing you're about what? 15 years old? 14? Your world BEGAN on Jan.21, 2001? Hmmm? What happened leading up to action in Iraq starting NEVER HAPPENED in your insolated little world?

I sent you a shit load of quotes from DEMOCRATS fro 1998 – 2003. So, what do you say to that? They were wrong too? Is that it? Dumbass.

These trolls have no memory. They've been sucking on the liberal/Huff Po talking points so long they have NO perspective. I do, I remember, just like you do. They trot it out – I stamp it out.

I have a bunch more, I just got tired of posting all of it.

obama calls Bush a PATRIOT

No one will ever do the same for him.

"Let me be clear."

"I'm pulling the troops out of Iraq, and I'm surging the troops into Iraq. While they troop levels are surging, I'll pull them out, so we can level out the troop levels next year."

"Now, the 'right' war was in Afghanistan, so the troop level will surge now, but in the next 6 months we'll pull some troops out. Then I'll surge the troop levels again, so we can get out faster."
