whose argument, Stans? Cuz I was just using hyperbole to annoy him. If its WF, I refuse to debate obvious trolling.
My point is that there is a thread created to discuss what you don't like about President Obama and his policies. This is not that thread.
And I don't necessarily think that a President whose views can evolve to accommodate popular public opinion is a bad thing.
And does anyone REALLY wonder if Obama truly didn't give a shit on the marriage issue since day one?

Typical sleazebag politician, waits for an election year to say he's for gay Marriage.
Show me what he has to gain? As he is the first sitting president to ever do this. And that 30 states have passed the redundant law that tab a goes in slot b = marriage.
More votes? From who? A minority?
More money? the Hollywood sect is somehow pro gay because right wing neo cons say so Sosa?
If anything he has gone out on a limb, and any non Neanderthal should give him kudos for it.

A lot of gay donors were witholding their contributions before the announcement.
The Hollywood sect is pro gay because many are progressives. In regards to gays getting married, It doesnt bother me. I posted previously that it wont hurt him in the black and hispanic blocs because even though a majority of them are opposed to gays and intolerant towards them, a huge majority are still going to vote for him
He doesnt deserve kudos, he saw that Biden went off the reservation, there was the election in NC , it was all calculated.

I don't buy this. One side Romney is ditching anyone with gay ties off his staff. The other Obama said what he did, but said it should be left to the states i.e NC the 32nd state to vote like they did. Not a deal breaker.

I don't buy this. They are a microcosm of the population, polls put overall favorability at around 50% I believe.

Those blocs are also religious there is no guarantee they will hold that vote.

Biden made a blunder which is the norm for him. Again NC became the 32nd state to vote this way it should hold no light, and actually hurt him as they did vote that way after all.

It's amusing to watch the vitriol propaganda spewed by the far left, it this case Hanso, and whatever wrestling fan is. I often struggle with finding a place for myself in politics, largely due to being a moderate. Thanks to the extreme, partisan sector of politics.
First, this is a political announcement. As someone who greatly believes that same sex marriage should be legal, I am exhausted with the hyperbole attached to Obama's vague endorsement of marriage. Obama has had four years to get the ball moving in this area, and has failed the agenda. I mean, he has had time for vacations, time to talk about silly events, but he can't advance gay marriage?
What does he have to gain? He is stirring his constituency up. Elections are not won by getting people to change parties. They are won by getting your party motivated, and generating as much traction with independent voters, as possible.
As someone who voted for Obama, I wish he was much more decisive. Instead, he is far too bought than we were lead to believe.
Obama has done some solid things. So I find people on the right, like wrestling fan, laughable, when they fail to admit as much.
I also find it laughable when people on the left, like Hanso, refuse to point out the negative that he does. Instead of tackling the issues. People like Hanso and wrestling fan resort to distraction from the issues by calling names and using hyperbole. It's sad.
Obama has done some solid things. So I find people on the right, like wrestling fan, laughable, when they fail to admit as much.
I think he liked it when Obama had bin Ladin killed.

While he is the 1st president to voice his support for Gay marriage, In many ways things are still the same when it comes to the wars, torture, starting new wars, mismanagement, continuing the patriot act and infringing on civil liberties like the patriot act extension, NDAA and more intrusive TSA.

Biasness would be that I find no fault in Romney for example, when you know thats not true at all

On a select few, I actually do not like the policy or direction overall and noted it.

And just for the sake of clarity OVERALL, our involvement there drastically increased under Obama due to it being a true target in this shitty war, versus Iraq being that focus in the past. It's winding down soon, but I wouldn't say it's not going well either. Death is never a good thing of course, but as involvement increases our risks and losses will too. Judging by this factor alone is simply off.
Do I think the war there is going well, of course not. Does any war in that shit hole go well in recent history? We may never truly realize the impact of said conflict, postitive or negative, but ultimately we aren't going to change that place in any real fashion. We can only hope to limit their impact on the rest of the world and the stability of the middle east/that region overall.

Add into that the fact that the Pentagon has brought up the idea of leaving 25,000 troops there until 2024 and it looks like winding down isn't going to happen any time soon.

It is picking and choosing. You rail against AZ and AL and cheer the lawsuits by Holder when he admitted he didnt read those bills but allow MA to be a sanctuary state. One state decides its had enough bad. Another state lets illegals roam free and go to college at reduced cost and you cheer for it.
If you believe in States rights, then you would advocate illegals going to a state like CA where the red carpet is rolled out for them.
It has to do with everything about Obama being president, If that was an illegal Mexican or Guatemalan he would have been deported. It happens all the time. Once its deemed that a drunk driver is here illegally an ICE detainer is put on him so even if he has money for bail he cant be released

President Obama ends the Republican poltical games by using executive priviledge for the only time during his presidency so maybe Congress will actually get to work on the economy, immigration, and transportation.
We are ten days away from the expiration of federal transportation funding which guarantees jobs for almost a million construction workers because Congress hasn’t passed a transportation bill. We are eleven days away from nearly seven and a half million students seeing their loan rates double because Congress hasn’t acted to stop it. But instead of creating jobs or strengthening the middle-class, Congressional Republicans are spending their time on a politically-motivated, taxpayer-funded election-year fishing expedition

This has nothing to do with fox news. Its acknowledging the separation of powers. Idealogy aside, this opens the door to presidents that you might not agree with. Example
2020 President Santorum signs an executive order banning the building of mosques and banning pornography.
Also Obamas amnesty in a time of 8% unemployment is a horrible decision along with an unconstitutional one. I happen to believe that the number of illegals is at least double that amount. Youre adding a huge amount of people to the supply of bodies to the labor force.
They're already in the work force. Plus, they're not exactly working jobs that whites are knocking down doors to do.

I live in a society where that cycle includes them taking my income against my will. I have a choice in mowing my own lawn. I dont have a choice on how my taxes get doled out
I tried to imagine my job without roads, but it didn't last long because an entrepreneur showed up and built one.
And then that entrepreneur built up roads to each and every home, each rail terminal, each airport and each warehouse but didn't try to turn a profit on them right away because capitalism is fine with a very long term plan for financial success. Roads aren't cheap -- $100k+ per mile to lay a two lane road with a shoulder assuming the area is already graded and cleared. Oh, and the banking system that was already set up by another entrepreneur that is completely fair is totally fine with risking to capitalize that original entrepreneur without any real collateral because a unified currency system doesn't currently exist.
That's the problem with libertarian utopia -- the free market isn't all that efficient at directing resources. Government and socialism is a far more equitable way of distributing resources for something so vast. Want proof? Guess how many vacant houses there are versus how many homeless people there are. Capitalism is only efficient at profiting from resource allocation.
But, hey, keep wishing in one hand and shitting in the other, shithands. The free market is just oh so good at providing infrastructure.

The gun-walking technique, which had roots in previous operations carried out by federal agents in Arizona during the administration of President George W. Bush, eventually led to a number of weapons being lost in the flow. Some of the guns were recovered at crime scenes on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border.
In his letter, Cole wrote that the Justice Department had already sufficiently proven that those statements had not been part of a deliberate effort to obstruct, and that the requests for more recent documents don't mesh with the probe's stated purpose of reforming the failed practices used in Operation Fast and Furious.
This is the first time Obama has asserted executive privilege. In an email to The Huffington Post, an administration official noted that Bush exercised the authority six times, while former President Bill Clinton did it 14 times. As the Republican National Committee was quick to point out Wednesday, then-candidate Obama criticized Bush for using the practice in 2007.
And this is just CLASSIC bullshit.
"Until now, everyone believed that the decisions regarding 'Fast and Furious' were confined to the Department of Justice," Steel said. "The White House decision to invoke executive privilege implies that White House officials were either involved in the 'Fast and Furious' operation or the cover-up that followed. The Administration has always insisted that wasn't the case. Were they lying, or are they now bending the law to hide the truth?"
Better to worship a true ideology....that murdered tens of millions.

Built case against Mexican cartels to find out who they were
Had Mexican govt involved, worked in conjunction with them
All weapons had RFID trackers and were constantly tracked
Over 1000 arrests made
When Bush admin found out the cartels were removing the RFIDs, The program was shut down in 2007
F&F
Over 2000 weapons
Wanted to push a gun control agenda and target gun shops
Mexican govt never involved in F&F
No tracking devices
No arrests made of Cartel members
F&F shut down after murders of 200 Mexicans and 2 US agents

It would have only applied to new loans. I can see you've given this a lot of thought.

To be fair, "HEAT" is a fucking stupid name.
Ernie Banks was "a Cub". In fact, he was "Mr. Cub".
If I say that he, Ron Santo and Billy Williams... were "Cubs", it's natural.
I wouldn't add a bunch of useless words to say that they were "members of the Chicago Cubs". They're just CUBS dammit.
What the fuck is Lebron now? "a Miami Heat"?

Why do you think that's a good idea? Do you think there are any negative ramifications to keeping rates so low?
Raising interest rates is fine if they allow educational debt to be written off in a bankruptcy. With absolutely no risk involved, why shouldn't interest rates remain low?

Yeah, the lenders make out pretty well...that alone should give one pause. But I don't think the question of risk is so cut and dried. There's almost trillion in student loan debt outstanding, growing by about 10% a year (Christ only knows how much that translates to in the derivatives market). I read that over half of the loans are in default or some state of deferment. Something's gotta give. If there's one thing that everyone should know about bubbles by now, it's that they eventually pop.
And then we need to get into the cause and effect of artificially stimulating demand. The main outcome is runaway tuition (it's a feedback loop: higher tuition=bigger loans=higher tuition=bigger loans...). Much like the third-party payer monstrosity in health care, anyone outside the system is fucked. Working your way through college is almost impossible.
Good schools can only admit so many students. What happens to that excess demand? It gets soaked up by the "for profit" diploma mills and online shysters.
We add hundreds of thousands of more job seekers to a market that already has a surplus of 2,000,000 bachelor's degrees. Not only are tens of thousands of dollars pissed away, so are four years of productive potential. You walk away with a mountain of debt and nothing to show for it except the same slip of paper all of your friends have, and a head full of inflated expectations.
And let's talk about that debt. Is it right to strap the yolk of debt slavery onto some idiot kid?
Preaching to the choir -- everyone is told they need college to succeed, causing blue collar jobs to go unwanted. Couple that with every time a state needs to shore up budget issues, they slash the fuck out of college aid and/or raise tuition.
College education is exactly why capitalism is wrong. The never-ending lust for profit combined with an altogether too willing government to interfere in the market combined with a healthy dose of propaganda and you have a student debt bubble just waiting to burst. Since it can't be disbursed (is that the word?) through bankruptcy, there's going to be a lot of people who spend the majority of their earnings simply paying into their debt.

If you make less than 133% of poverty level you do not have to buy insurance and are eligible for Medicaid. If you do make more than that and do not have access to insurance through your employer you do have to buy insurance but it comes with subsidies that are dependent on how much you make.
For example if you make just over 133% of the poverty line with subsidies and other savings you will pay $992 a year for insurance. For 150% the cost is $1323. Those are on average. You will be able to shop around for a policy that makes sense to you.
And to still not buy insurance for whatever reason the penalty in 2014 is $95.
Clearly this is the end of America.

I've lived in this country with a serious illness my entire life. 30 years. And in that whole time I have people feeling sorry for me, saying they care, claiming they care. And for 30 years nothing was done to help what is a terrible, terrible financial situation for people with chronic illnesses in this country. Nothing at all. Any attempt made was met with fierce, angry resistance. I'm told people care and yet nothing is done and any attempt to help is met with fury.
It's bullshit. The majority of this country doesn't care and only say they do to make themselves feel better. And I continued, my whole life to lie in bed at night fearful of losing my insurance and have no idea what I am supposed to do if that happens. I'm in a situation where if I don't have my drugs I WILL DIE, and quickly, and painfully. And if I had no insurance I could not afford those drugs out of pocket even if I spent every cent I earned on them. Not to mention doctor's visits and tests.
I don't have to worry about that anymore. I'm gonna sleep easy at night. And I'm thrilled for that. And to all of you who clung to any reason not to do this every time health care reform came up? Go fuck yourselves. There is nothing you can do now. And I hope whatever rage you feel right now consumes and tortures you for as long as it can. It will never match what I have been through. At the end of the day your life isn't hanging in the balance. I'm at the point where I care as little for you as you do for me. But at least I can say that ultimately, I won and you lost.
