So now libs admit Obama has no experience?

[ugonow]

Brokaw: "Obama learning on the job".I thought that was their knock on Sarah.In real land,though,Palin not only has more experience but is a lot smarter and moral than him.----http://www.theblaze.com/stories/brokaw-well-see-if-obama-can-learn-on-the-job-he-didnt-have-hard-political-experience-as-a-gov-like-reagan-did/

Don't know about "libs" but this liberal fully admitted that Obama did not have "hard political experience." I disagree(d) with Palin's stance on political issues. I was very concerned with McCain's very narrow life experience. (He grew up in a military family, went to a private preparatory boarding high school, military academy for college, military career, immediately ran for and won federal office, served in government ever since.) At least President Obama had some experience in a wider world.

Yes and she is much more of a socialist than Obama as well.

Unless we forget that they are both politicians so morals shouldn't even enter the discussion.

[deziloooooo]

What most realize is that once they are there and they find out what's real, and think of what they campaigned on, probably disappear for some quiet times and to get over the shakes as they realize how stupid they were on the campaign trail.
Never got that feeling with Truman but admit , was a kid , but still, he never seenmed over whelmed or bothered by the critics..just did what he felt had to be done , and the rest , not that important..McCarthur had to be gone he was went, Communist into Greece, sent in Van Fleet and advisors, Europe was a disaster after the war, Mr Marshall, I know you don't agree or like me but I need you, Music critic dissed his daughters singing , called him up , told him if he and himself ever met, the critic would go home a eunich..

It's the morality of politicians' policies that should concern us. Their private lives are only the basis for "Who's the best liar?" a Pub staple...imho.

Who needs experience when you got the Ojo?

Hey Marsha, still getting paid to post?

Oh yeah, just rolling in magic internet dough!

FYI, if you don't see links or ads in a post there is no mechanism for bean counting.

Civic duty, hat, pure civic duty. Doing my part to bring down the progressive steamroller that turned out to be a jalopy like the one big O insured with


heh, heh, heh uh ACME insurance.

So sad, another victim of the recession. Sorry to hear that Marsha.

Oh, come now. Dems changing their tune is such a well oiled tactic that it simply comes naturally to them. Their supporters embrace the tactic of lying in retrospect as a viable means of rationalizing away all their failures.

Remember the WAILING and MOANING on the MSN version of this board when the tax compromise was reached about 4 weeks ago? The libs here were RABID DOGS at Obama's heels. His own party's House caucus voted to VEHEMENTLY OPPOSE the compromise. Dems everywhere were calling Obama a sell-out. Now what line are they parroting? That their shining victory of the last two years was that compromise. They know no shame and will tout any lie, counting on the limited memory of their supporters, whose attention spans are less than the most virulent case of childhood ADD.

"Oh, come now. Dems changing their tune is such a well oiled tactic that it simply comes naturally to them. Their supporters embrace the tactic of lying in retrospect as a viable means of rationalizing away all their failures."

Your to much into the Democrtic/Republican...next it will be the left vs the right that use to fill up the old boards..why not try if possible leaving the party labels off and discus the issues ..
Your correct , the ultra left felt, probably still feel , betrayed because a prime plank of their party was the doing away with the Bush Tax cuts..I have my own feelings and can give a great argument for my thoughts , however, I am not the President. There were other issues that were also tied into that bill, major ones that the President had to consider, we all know what they are. He could have played chicken , see if the other side would let unemployment and the middle tax cuts expire..there sure would have been a political fall out against them on that one..the President decided that over all he wouldn't play that game, take that chance..and after a bit of arm twisting, Presidents , all of them , do have clout, the ultra left, for the most part came around as did some of the other side..how we do things here.

[verrip1]

Hiding from the Dem or lib label is terribly convenient. For libs, that is. That is simply another tactic to allow rationalizing a position that flies in the face of the last failed policy or action taken.

I suppose if I wanted to continually support the Dem/lib position, I'd like to distance myself from them, too. I'd probably try to hide behind some sort of centrist label also. But I see no reason why people should just pretend that the last 4 years of a failed Dem Congress and the last 2 years of a failed Dem presidency should just be ignored simply because their supporters find it inconvenient to deal with.

Don't agree verrip, respectfully, I just don't see the need for it, to one demensional , as if any side has all the answers and the other really shouldn't exhist.
It's what the professionals who are elected would like, thus they give lip service to their supporters but do what they want , and so many times it's just to keep them selves in office, not really attempt top solve the problems we face.
On the old board it was a constant, with some so automatic if one saw who postd , why even bother to go there, you knew with in three words what was going to be posted there.
Every political duscussion does not have to contain a blurb against or for one of the parties,. Both sides, have given us some fine legislatures, solved some big problems , and learned to work together to come to a consensus as to how to solve them.
We have also had our share of the others too, from both parties. You feel every one of your posts have to be a one party plus or minus, it's a free board. I don't feel that is necessary, I would hope we can make this new place a better place for discourse then the other one was. It WAS preety bad. If you don't feel that way thats your right too.

Hey, kids!! Hi, Marsha!! Thx for inviting me, Dezi. I need to learn how to post pics, links, etc. Guess I have to go to the main page.... uhhh... well, I will do what I must do...
(smiley face)
Funny thing is the libs going nuts-- either he did not do enough or he did too much, but he did not do what they wanted. Such it is when you put a mere mortal man in the position of a GOD. I could feel sorry for him, but I won't. As I watch him scramble for a middle ground looking for votes, and to not be wiped out when the new Congress takes their seats----- I can only laugh.

No name calling Marshabar. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I am sure you will follow all the rules of this board.

[ugonow]

Even the tea party is now pushing the fact the candidates they back have no experience and are untarnished outsiders. What we need are experienced old school GOP values driven conservative hardliners.

[verrip1]

Intriguing. Magic attacks Marsha first and last, and Marsha gets the warning.

[deziloooooo]

krickett , if your still around, check the top of the board, took me a while to find it for messages.
Darn , know why did i invite you, forgot which side you were on here..LOL, just a joshing, I knew what I ws letting myself in for. Again, welcome, have fun.

A god?, stop with putting idiocy in Lib mouths thanks smiley face later...

I'll sure try and it will be a great deal of fun to see you do the same here.

I saw no such attack, I saw a question and then sympathy. Are you always this defensive?

And exactly what would you like me to address? The lack of experience. Like it really matters when we haven't had a President who actually like this country in about a century.

It seems to me that this is not the thread for you if you have nothing to say on the subject. Just a thought.

To be clear, are personal comments about other people's imagined personal lives embraced at this message board?

Is it alright to say: Magichat, I'm sorry to hear you have no thoughts in your head except to personally address another poster about personal circumstances about which you know nothing. ?

I understand that commenting on the actual thread would constitute a hardship for some posters but I do think a little clarity on this issue is in order and I would appreciate some input.

As to Barack Obama's lack of leadership experience I think it has become manifestly evident that lacking such and being under immense pressure he has relied on a Congress of fools and their aides to craft bills in days that are almost as ridiculously immense and mysterious as our tax legislation which has become over the many years of its evolution to suit the purpose of draining the private purse for progressive political ends a tome that no one in the world can understand. We will be seeing the fallout from this administration's lack of experience for many generations barring a miracle that will wipe it all away. So many mysteries remain about the president that I don't fully discount that possibility.

[magichat]

Marsha's back and already bitching about the moderation, and hoping to get other in trouble. Why am I not surprised. Multinicking yet Marsha?

[marshabar1]

To wit.
