PPACA is partially funded through cuts to various portions of Medicare, and Obama has voiced support for cuts to both Medicare and SS in the past.
Of coruse Ryan wants to cut Medicare too, I know that.
Look at how wrong you are.
, what the hell are you talking about,
Stepped up Afghanistan, moved right over the border into Pakistan, also Yemen, Somalia, Libya.
made possible by the expansion of the executive branch under President Bush,
No,
not even Bush tried to do that. And if you think Obama hasn't been expanding the executive branch and reinforcing what Bush did, lol.
Oh well, I guess it's OK then.(I assume you mean the whistleblowers here)
Did nothing about the worst banking crisis since 1929? Yes he did- he implemented the plan the Bush Administration started- the bailout.
Oh, so you're counting "enabling it to happen again by letting the banks drink themselves sober" then yeah he totally did. Here I thought you were going to go with the "Dodd-Frank is actually tough regulation" defense, which would have allowed me to make fun of you as well.
So, while you're just about as completely wrong as is possible given what you're talking about likely out of some kind of zeal to lambaste the President... I didn't come here to make fun of your lack of insight.
Not only am I not wrong, I don't have some sort of special zeal to lambaste the president. He's a terrible person, just like most any other president. He's a good actor so he had a lot of people fooled at first, and still does.
My only zeal is pointing out that Obama isn't more than marginally better than the alternative, and only some other issues, and noticeably worse on others.
Your choice is between a shitty corporatist asshole, and a shitty corporatist asshole.
No, I came to post that it's all irrelevant. And the Republicans know it. Between Romney and Obama... there's no contest. This isn't a race anymore. It's a countdown to 2016. Ryan on the ballot only cemented that vibe. Since the primaries no one anywhere of any repute has been excited about a Romney presidency because he can't win. Fox News only has so many voters, ahem, viewers and those viewers haven't been inspired by Romney- instead they've just been trained to hate Obama. That might have worked... if there were more of them.
With zero point zero, zero percent of precincts reporting in, I'm ready to call the Election 53-46.
No shit, I've said as much in other threads here.
Oh, and that thing where you artfully suggested that Republicans were better friends to the gay community than the Obama administration? If that was a joke, it was both funny and well executed. This forum is nothing if not good for a laugh.
This forum nothing if not good for finding people with devastating reading disabilities.
Don't put words in my mouth. I said
Log Cabin Republicans, who brought a case to federal court that forced Obama's hand, just as Biden forced him to spit out a wishywashy gay marriage endorsement. The guy has spent 4 years in office being about the weakest friend to gays that a Democrat could be without losing votes, and anyone up on LGBT issues knows this. Most of my activist friends are rightly upset about how weak he's been, and it's pretty insulting to imply he's anything more than a weak ally who does things when he has to.
Now I think LCR's are as silly as the next guy, but the fact is they were more effective in forcing the issue than any Democratic group.
