Tiberius Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Obama ran a corruption free administration. Trump's crew is so corrupt, going to jail, stealing everything in reach and filling the swamp. Rick Gates waves and says thanks for the millions! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Quote CBS News ✔@CBSNews U.S. "paid a price" for not enforcing then-President Obama's red line in Syria, former Secretary of State John Kerry says https://cbsn.ws/2NFwDkj 11:24 AM - Sep 2, 2018 While this is not breaking news to anyone, it is noteworthy that Kerry says he could not persuade Obama: “I put several ideas on the table. The president was not persuaded by my argument. I believed that we had several options we could have done at very low risk to be able to make it clear to Assad that when we had a ceasefire and when he said he was going to live by it, he had to live by it. And I thought we should have done that,” Kerry said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deranged Rhino Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I wonder how many of the ideas Kerry put forth (allegedly) came from his Iranian backers? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given Kerry's record, I'm sure he both agreed and disagreed with Obama at some point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Self awareness level 0 Barack Obama said a lot of ridiculous stuff today. (see the Trump Foreign Policy thread).............This might be the most ridiculous: Quote Charlie Spiering ✔@charliespiering “We don’t need a messiah,” Obama says 1:01 PM - Sep 7, 2018 .Sure, Mr. “We Are The Ones We’ve Been Waiting For.” ....................Whatever you say, buddy.

njbuff Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Apparently Obama has TDS too. Instead of lecturing us on how bad Trump is, he should go to his hometown of Chicago and see what is happening there. Talk about hypocrisy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I won’t argue it if you want to challenge me on it because I find any counter arguments to be ridiculous. Now, I’m not a fan of his foreign policy. I’m not a fan of his gayification of the military. Lots of things I don’t like about the man. But I believe history will remember Obama in a positive light.

Used to drive me crazy (and I have worked with a ton of PR and marketers, and know what he is doing - and it still drove me nuts.) His speeches this year, however, have gotten smoother. He does continue to repeat lines that get positive reactions (again, this is marketing 101), but the basic speech delivery when not to a rally is much smoother.

The only reason his administration is painted in a favorable light is because there’s very little objectivity about his accomplishments. Real history will not be kind once we’ve gone through a decade or so, and the varnish of his empty suit fades. The two items that people point to as his great achievements are killing Bin Laden and getting the country out of a recession - both decisions that a 12-yr old would have approved. Nobody with a proper understanding of economics has been able to explain Obama’s extraordinary policies that pulled the economy out of the recession.

Trump knows enough to know lie loud, lie big, lie often. Eventually the lie drowns out the truth. Trump is such an awful orator that foreigners who are fluent in English have a hard time understanding his meaning. He changes subject without segwaying into a new topic. However....given a speech prepared for him I have heard him walk away with a good speech every now and then. But he likes to free style most of them and it’s always an absurd mess. I like Trump’s policies better. But I’ve no respect for the man. I do respect Obama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
