Just for you all to know, I will show Obama respect, unlike the liberals who couldn’t show President Bush any respect and blamed him for every problem they have.
Election 2012 starts today. The Shinning City on the Hill has been dimmed but it ain’t out. Conservative will come back stronger than ever and I’m ready to fight.
“Just for you all to know, I will show Obama respect, unlike the liberals who couldn’t show President Bush any respect and blamed him for every problem they have.”
This is what we call a left handed complement. You couldn’t be gracious in defeat without sticking it to the liberals.
If Obama has a -12% approval rating at the end of 4(or 8!!!) years I will not be shy in saying I supported him early but he betrayed my trust. President Bush earned my disrespect. I’ve never said he isn’t my president, and I’ve never complained about the vote. I just question his intelligence and his decisions. I also don’t blame Bush for any of my problems, but there are certainly problems in this nation for which he has to take responsibility. Anyone who doesn’t believe that should ask Harry Truman where the buck stops.
As for the shining city on the hill, I think you will find that most historians agree we abandoned that principle decades ago when we started coming down the hill to be a crusader state, waging war in the name of democracy. As a book recommendation I would suggest Walter McDougal’s Promised Land, Crusader State: America’s Encounter With the World Since 1776. It is pre-9/11 but as a history of foreign policy traditions it is outstanding.
As for your other comment… I don’t even know where to start… How about with… no, I can’t muster the interest to care about such a deliberately trolling statement.
I have a book for you to read too, it’s called Ghost Wars. You’ll enjoy it and it might scare you a little bit. I also believe that most historians would disagree with the other historians.
The Wall Street Journal had a great article today about how the treatment of Bush has been a disgrace. I love this line. ” Yet it should seem obvious that many of our country’s current problems either existed long before Mr. Bush ever came to office, or are beyond his control. Perhaps if Americans stopped being so divisive, and congressional leaders came together to work with the President on some of these problems, he would actually have had a fighting chance of solving them…Just as Americans have gained perspective on how challenging Truman’s presidency was in the wake of World War II, our country will recognize the hardship President Bush faced these past eight years–and how extraordinary it was that he accomplished what he did in the wake of September 11 attacks…Our failure to stand by the one person who continued to stand by us has not gone unnoticed by our enemies. It has shown to the world how disloyal we can be when our President needed loyalty–a shamefule display or arrogance and weakness that will haunt this nation long after Mr. Bush has left the White House.”
I do have to agree the treatment of President Bush and people who have have or currnetly do work for him has been a disgrace. I for one have no regrets when it came to working for him. I can at least live with a clear conscience and tell my future children that I worked for a man who worked for me.
In Obama’s speech he paid McCain compliments and the crowd cheered…
In McCain’s speech he paid Obama compliments and the crowd booed, forcing McCain to quiet them down…
Maybe I should post the definition of bitter again.
It would be nice if instead of planning for the next election on day one, we could focus on the problems in America.
And Dani, your third comment contradicts the first line of your second comment. For as subtle as you make think your sarcasm is, it is still disrespectful. I hope McCain shows more maturity going foreward than you have shown here.
Yeah that last statement was a joke. Did you see the lady who think Obama is really going to do that? CRAZY! But I know damn well that he doesn’t have the power to do that and neither does Bush.
The only thing I’m bitter about right now is the fact that George Washington Hospital told me I didn’t have a stress fracture and that it was ok for me to walk, but went to the doctor at Georgetown University found out I now have a stress fracture and slight break on my tibia and Fibula. I might have also wanted to punch the bitch last night who flipped me off because I was wearing a McCain-Palin button but I didn’t because I’m not that type of person.
I’m also looking at my own political future as I’m thinking about running for public office when I move back to Colorado. As for looking at the election in 2012, I have every right to look to the future, and Bobby Jindal is looking better and better.
That is all.

Last paragraph retracted as I was unaware of the joke status of the last comment…
