Ted Cruz: ‘Don’t Arm Those Who Want To Kill Us!’

Loading

Ted Cruz killed it today taking Obama to task for his decision to arm the Syrian “rebels”

[youtube]http://youtu.be/Aag7XL2e1Ww[/youtube]

He makes two observations to Obama:

“Number one, don’t arm al Qaida. Don’t arm those who hate us. Don’t arm those who want to kill us. Number two, when it comes to matters of vital national security, the President of the United States needs to come to the American people. It is not acceptable for the president to simply send out staffers to pass on his decisions. He needs to come before Congress and the American people and explain those decisions.”

By arming the “rebels” most assuredly he will be arming al-Qaeda. 7 of the 9 “rebel” groups are radical Islamists:

syrianrebels2

And one of those supposed non-radical groups is dedicated to fighting only in the Kurdish areas.

So he somehow believes these weapons aren’t going to get in the hands of al-Qaeda?

Give me a friggin break.

What should our priority be?

The President would be better off focusing clearly on the one thing that is in our national security interests: securing Syria’s large stockpile of chemical weapons…We know Assad has used these weapons, and there is good reason to suspect the al Qaida-affiliated rebels would use them as well if they could get their hands on them. This poses an intolerable threat not only to our friends in the region, but also to the United States. We need to be developing a clear, practical plan to go in, locate the weapons, secure or destroy them, and then get out. The United States should be firmly in the lead to make sure the job is done right.

Now that’s talking like the President of the United States rather than a “citizen of the world” as Obama said yesterday.

We didn’t elect him to be a damn “citizen of the world”! We elected him to be our Commander in Chief, the President of this country. Instead he is intervening in wars half-heartedly, leaving a huge power vacuum behind in each country which is promptly filled by radical Islamists.

It’s a disgrace.

Ted Cruz has some simple questions:

  • Why aiding the Syrian rebels is now worth our intervention when it wasn’t two years ago.
  • How he has established which rebels are the appropriate recipients of this support and how this very limited support will make a material difference in Syria.
  • How his team is proactively planning to keep Syria’s chemical weapons out of the hands of either Hezbollah or al Qaida.

Will he answer? Can he?

I doubt it.

It is my belief that the bureaucrats in Hawaii either lost or inadvertently destroyed the original somewhere along the way.

No hospital in Hawaii claims obama as being born there. No town claims him as growing up there. Can anyone name ONE president who doesn’t have a hospital and a town claim them?

The thing that is scaring me the most is that a lot of info from different agencies, and even the National Archives, has disappeared. When obama’s mother came back from Kenya shortly after he was born, all passport information for everybody for one week disappeared. Different federal agencies are loosing information about obama. This happening in one agency is bad. It happening in several is scary.

@Aqua: #150
I have wondered how hard it would be to produce a fake news article. I would like to see the original newspaper and see if the announcement is in it. Almost all of the newspapers are liberal, and several have written false stories and posted PhotoShopped pictures.

Why is obama using someone else’s Social Security number? Didn’t he get one of his own? His Selective Service registration card has been proven fake. He hasn’t driven for years. Could it be because Illinois didn’t allow illegals to have a driver’s license until recently? Does he have a driver’s license? If not, he can get one in Illinois now.

@Smorgasbord:
I’ll admit you bring up some good points. I’ve seen refutation of many of these, but I’ll agree there are some questions. The thing is, he ran against and beat the Clinton machine. Clinton would have had to be in on it. There is no way the Clinton machine would have rolled over on this information. And I don’t think Bill is in on it, because he hates Obama.

@Aqua: #154
I would hate to have you on my jury if I am charged with something. You ignore facts, and go with your feelings.

@Smorgasbord: Smorg.. it probably WAS in it,,but, you have to remember.. the GRANDPARENTS..could simply PHONE IN such a “report”.. and it got printed… Just like Engagement announcement are done in papers Today…..

@Smorgasbord: There is something about his past that they trying to conceal. One angle I’ve looked at this from is Obama’s personality and past. The man is clearly arrogant and a narcissist. He believes he is superior to others and wants power and control over those whom he disagrees with. Deep down, he really doesn’t like this country or what it stands for. His past was unstable at best. During his teens and college years he most likely hung around with the same type of coke snorting neo-Marxists he was. What may have happened is that they made up various id’s he needed for whatever reason. A new id, a new SSN. It wouldn’t be surprising if they “acquired” a block of SSN’s, in this case from Conn., to use for that purpose. They probably thought they were beating and manipulating the system. Same with the Selective Service Card. He no doubt despised the military and didn’t want to register. Presto- a fake card. In his and his friends’ minds it was a way of saying, “Up yours America, I’m not registering”. Needed a passport to go to Pakistan when Americans couldn’t get one to go there? Presto- fake foreign born citizenship. Ditto for the foreign exchange student. All of the above would have required breaking the law such as fraud and forgery. What it boils down to is that perhaps what they are trying to conceal isn’t where he was born, but rather past criminal and malicious activity.

@Hankster58: #156

Smorg.. it probably WAS in it,,but, you have to remember.. the GRANDPARENTS..could simply PHONE IN such a “report”….

I remember that you mentioned that earlier, and I never thought about it. It’s like my Facebook and other sites that require a birth date. I put one in, but it isn’t the right one, because this is one piece of information the ID thieves use to get out ID. At first I put the earliest date possible, which made me really old, then I put it closer to my actual date.

Unless it has changed, Hawaii still lets ANYONE walk into the office and say they were born in Hawaii, and they can get a LIVE BIRTH certificate for the date they say they were born. This is all that obama would have had to do to get a birth certificate.

Since Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s volunteer posse started looking into obama’s birth certificate, the state officials authorized destroying all of the paper birth certificates, and were working on making it legal to destroy the films too. This is how far the liberals are going to keep this illegal in office. Arpaio was trying to block such moves, but this was some time ago, and I haven’t read anything about it since.

@another vet: #157

There is something about his past that they trying to conceal.

You mean like the students of Columbia University not remember him, and that his picture is not in the yearbook? Some of his timeline dates he has given don’t agree with actual events at those particular times. While he was in college, there were different things printed that said he was from Kenya, and he never had them corrected. Why was he wearing a wedding ring while in college, but he wasn’t married at that time? Is it the same one he is wearing now? Wouldn’t Michelle have wanted him to have a different one when she married him? Why is there Muslim writing on the ring he is wearing now if he is not a Muslim?

Deep down, he really doesn’t like this country or what it stands for.

Remember after he got elected the first time, Michelle said that for the first time in her life she was proud of the USA? They went to Wright’s anti-American church for over 20 years.

What may have happened is that they made up various id’s he needed for whatever reason.

He has at least 39 Social Security numbers attached to his name. There is only one Barack Obama in the USA. Anything connected to that name is him.

It wouldn’t be surprising if they “acquired” a block of SSN’s, in this case from Conn., to use for that purpose.

The SS number obama is using now, is from a block of numbers from Connecticut that were reserved for FOREIGN STUDENTS.

He no doubt despised the military and didn’t want to register.

If he is an illegal, he never would have registered. Just like his birth certificate, they have to come up with a Selective Service card for him. As I have mentioned different times, I’m guessing the he doesn’t even have a driver’s license, since it is known that he hasn’t driven for years.

What it boils down to is that perhaps what they are trying to conceal isn’t where he was born, but rather past criminal and malicious activity.

How would a person hide their past criminal activity by putting their face all over the world? Someone would have recognized him and said something by now.

If obama wanted to end the doubts about him being a legal citizen of the USA, all that he would have to do is let the FBI take his fingerprints and see what name shows up. That would be a good requirement for any person to run for any federal office.

@Smorgasbord:

You ignore facts, and go with your feelings.

That is the first time anyone has ever said that to me….ever.
The birth certificate is funny, that may be a fact. The reason behind it having font discrepancies is not a fact.
His social security number does not belong to anyone else, that has been debunked. That’s a fact.
His social security number is from an area around Connecticut, that’s a fact. But that doesn’t mean the he or anyone else assigned that card was living in Connecticut, just that the request for a SSN was mailed from Connecticut, that’s a fact. Why the SSN was requested from Connecticut is another story, but just brings up speculation, not facts.
Bill Clinton is one of the sleaziest politicians in American history, fact (and admittedly subject to confirmation bias). But he is also one of the most brilliant and ruthless campaigners in American history, fact. If he had a shred of proof that Obama was not an American citizen during the primary, there is no way in hell he would have sat on the information. He wouldn’t have sat on it if he found out after the primaries. The only way he might have sat on it is if he found out after the presidential election. But even then, I just don’t think Bill is that sleazy.
My feelings have nothing to do with this. I’m an engineer by trade. I draw conclusions based on facts and logical evidence.

@Smorgasbord:

If obama wanted to end the doubts about him being a legal citizen of the USA, all that he would have to do is let the FBI take his fingerprints and see what name shows up.

I have a friend who is pretty connected with the Cook County SD. Had Obama not run for POTUS, he very well may have been fingerprinted and not for jaywalking either.

@Aqua: I’ve had to laugh when nocturnal Smorg has questioned your decision making. Here’s a guy who admittedly basses decisions on talk radio, and internet dribble.
Other than your over the top devotion to the Noles I’ve found your analysis almost always spot on and said so on numerous occasions.
In 2008 I was a precinct captain for BHO. In the Cal Dem. Primary the pushback from the Clinton forces was merciless. They threw all they had at BHO—they are NOT good losers. If they had proof of ANY of the ridiculous claims posted here by Smorg and others,believe me,they’d have used it.
After beating The Clintons, Mac/Sarah was comparatively easy.

“A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on it’s shoes.” Mark Twain

@Richard Wheeler:

“A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on it’s shoes.”

Strange that you would write a long soliloquy the quote a saying about lies. Are you implying you wish your lies to fly around the globe quickly?

@Aqua: #160
Let me first remind you that I don’t belong to any party, so I don’t defend anyone just because I belong to the same party they do. I see too much of this going on in both parties.

His social security number does not belong to anyone else, that has been debunked.

Please give me a link to the proof. Here’s my link to the proof about the Connecticut card:

Investigators: Obama uses Connecticut Soc. Sec. Number

obama used at least 39 SS numbers. Keep in mind that there is only one barack obama, and anything connected to that name is him:

Obama’s Social Security number goes to court

If he had a shred of proof that Obama was not an American citizen during the primary, there is no way in hell he would have sat on the information.

What if George Soros and others running the democratic party told Bill Clinton not to dispute the birth certificate? The propaganda media backed obama and ripped apart Hillary. Remember the sniper fire she said she came under, and the propaganda media showed the video of the event, with no gun fire, and everyone completely calm? They wanted obama, not Hillary.

My feelings have nothing to do with this. I’m an engineer by trade. I draw conclusions based on facts and logical evidence.

So, where are your facts that prove that Bill Clinton didn’t know about the birth certificate, SS number, etc., and that is why he didn’t do anything?

Example of missing records:

Immigration records missing for week of Obama’s birth

Here’s one of many reasons I don’t use Google:

http://conservativewatchnews.org/?p=9873

@another vet: #161
If there is a way for someone to find out if obama has a driver’s license, I would like to know. If I were a gambler, I would bet that he doesn’t.

@Smorgasbord: You continue to claim you are unbiased and without affiliation then post WND over and over. Who you trying to kid Smorg?

@Richard Wheeler: But in light of his 5 yr record, or lack thereof… and the various “scandals” etc, do you STILL BACK him?

@Smorgasbord: I would assume someone would have already done that. Again, it’s just me but I think the BC was a bureaucratic bungle on the part of the State of Hawaii and the other stuff was college aged kids with idealistic pro Marxist views trying to buck the system figuring they were smarter than everyone else. It would also help to explain why the Clinton campaign didn’t pursue it- because the Clintons probably engaged in similar behavior in their more youthful years.

@Richard Wheeler: I notice you’re not actually trying to show that Smorg is wrong as you have no evidence. Smorg stating the truth does not show his bias.

@Richard Wheeler: #166
WND and Drudge are just about the only ones who are reporting about obama’s fake info. When Sheriff Joe Arpaio gave a press conference telling the results of his Cold Squad investigation into the matter, no major media showed up: Not even Fox News. Why didn’t they want to report on the findings? Isn’t that good journalism?

There are reports that the news media were threatened with not renewing their FCC licenses if they covered the story. It could be true, or it could be false. I don’t automatically believe it. I want proof. With the different scandals in the different federal agencies, I can see that it could have happened. One thing the conservative blogs and news media usually do is admit to a mistake they made. Has any liberal media done the same? If they did, was it right after they found the error, or after other media reported it and couldn’t hide it any more?

I don’t automatically believe things certain blogs or news media say. I always want more info after something new is reported. For example, when a new study comes out, the first thing I want to know is who paid for it? Was this the first study done, or were several done before they got the results they wanted. When a survey is done, how do we know they are calling random people, and not areas of the country that will favor what they want? How do we know anybody was even called?

Why is it the devout liberals believe everything their party tells them? I don’t believe much of what the republicans are saying, because they sound so much like what the democrats are saying. How can you tell a republican from a democrat?

@another vet: #168

I would assume someone would have already done that.

If they have, I would like to know the results. Does he have an Illinois driver’s license?

Again, it’s just me but I think the BC was a bureaucratic bungle on the part of the State of Hawaii and the other stuff was college aged kids with idealistic pro Marxist views trying to buck the system figuring they were smarter than everyone else.

Does that explain all of these?
(1) Fake birth certificate.
(2) His using someone else’s Social Security number. Why does’t he use his own?
(3) Fake Selective Service registration card.
(4) He has used at least 39 Social Security numbers. There is only one barack obama in the USA. Anything connected to that name is him.
(6) Hawaii wants to destroy the film records of birth certificates, and last I knew, they want to destroy the paper records too.
(7) Info about obama or his mom have disappeared from several different agencies: Even the National Archives.
(8) No student at Columbia University remembers obama.
(9) obama’s picture isn’t in the Columbia year book.

Does this guy even exist?

@Smorgasbord:

Please give me a link to the proof. Here’s my link to the proof about the Connecticut card:

Your link doesn’t say he is using another person’s social security number, just that it is from Connecticut. I agree, and even said I don’t know why he would have a Connecticut social security card. I happen to know people that do have relatives mail in social security applications so the child can have a social security number like theirs. It’s completely legal, you don’t need to establish residence in a State, just proof of citizenship
http://ssa-custhelp.ssa.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/237/~/request-a-social-security-number-for-a-newborn
Also, this could have just been a fat finger mistake at the social security office. The zip code for Honolulu is 96814 and the zip code for Connecticut is 06814.

What if George Soros and others running the democratic party told Bill Clinton not to dispute the birth certificate

I’m not saying that didn’t happen, but it’s speculation. Bill Clinton really hasn’t had a problem in the past telling the DNC or the democratic party to get bent if it serves his interest.

So, where are your facts that prove that Bill Clinton didn’t know about the birth certificate, SS number, etc., and that is why he didn’t do anything?

Call it supposition based on past behavior to draw a logical conclusion due to the lack of facts surrounding the issue.
If you think I trust Obama, you’re completely wrong. There is nothing about him I find trustworthy. I’m sure there are things in his life that are being intentionally kept from the public. I would love to know about his time at Occidental. If he were a republican, this information would have been released years ago.
But some of the stuff is just patently false. He didn’t need a foreign passport to travel to Pakistan in 1981. Americans could get a 30 day visa in 1981. The consul general in Lahore responded to an article written in the NY Times cautiously encouraging Americans to visit:

There is plenty of stuff to go after Obama with. I think he completely blew the Benghazi attack. I think at the very least he was negligent, at the most, criminally so.

@Smorgasbord:
BTW

Here’s one of many reasons I don’t use Google:

I use Google for most of the mundane stuff I look for. But if I really want to do some research, I use my own web crawler. I have one I built in Java. I’m thinking about doing one in C#, but I just haven’t had the time lately. Web crawlers take a while, so you don’t get your information immediately. But the one I have is very thorough.

@Aqua: #173
If you want to use a browser that doesn’t track you, just type, “search engines that don’t track you,” and pick from them.

@Smorgasbord: Comments as well as some questions. As you know, I have ZERO use for the man. I don’t like him as a President or a person. There have been other presidents, ie. Carter, who I didn’t like as President, but liked as a person. I didn’t like Clinton as President but would have no problem having a beer with him. GW was an outstanding CiC and probably my favorite out of the six I served under. Aside from the two wars, I was also adamantly opposed to his deficit spending. I wouldn’t mind shaking his hand (he doesn’t drink anymore so having a beer wouldn’t work).

1. The fake BC was done up by Hawaii to cover for their blunder(s). Sheriff’s Joe’s team clearly showed the State of Hawaii is a 3 ring circus.

2. If he used someone else’s SSN, specifically what was it used for? I know for a fact mine is being used by a company to pay someone most likely an illegal and the State of Illinois refused to look into it despite the fact that they were the ones who told me. That could shed some light on the subject.

3. I think the fake Selective Service card was done so he wouldn’t have to register. He is and always has been a lefty. It was most likely done up by fellow lefties who probably faked their own as well.

4. Specifically, what were each of those SSN’s used for? If there is evidence that he used 39 numbers, there should be evidence of what each of those 39 uses were for- credit card applications, job applications, Selective Service registration etc.

5. That is a state issue. If Hawaii wants to destroy all of their hard copies for everyone, it’s their business and doesn’t show any type of cover up for Obama.

6. Good point.

7. & 8. My picture never appeared in any college yearbook either. I doubt anyone would remember me since I didn’t hang around with any of the college crowd. I will agree that someone would have remembered a person who went on to become POTUS. Releasing his transcripts should clarify this issue.

@Aqua: Google “Harrison J. Bounel” … then explain his “existence”.. or LACK THEREOF anywhere else.

@another vet:
#1 most likely….
#2 needed an SSN to establish legitimacy…
#3 Also to establish legitimacy.. once he ran, they KNEW his background would be looked into, but like the BC.. someone did a CRAP JOB of “fakin it”..
#4 See Harrison J. Bounel. His name appears as an OWNER, of the SAME HOUSE Obama owns in Chicago,, yet he doesn’t seem to exist any where else…
#5.. uh right… but the TIMING smells all to hell doesn’t it.
#6 Yep, WHY SO??? Cover up the trail of ??
#7&#8….. Those transcripts are SEALED to hide how he applied for his COLLEGE FUNDING I’ll wager $$ on…. the fact, the applied for “Foreign Student Aid” would Blow him 100 feet out of the water….. what OTHER REAL, LOGICAL REASON is there, to HIDE such info????

Abracadabra! ‘Obama’s alias’ vanishing quickly from Web

Just a few to read a peruse…. Google still has lots more .. for a guy who’s life has SO MANY QUESTIONS…. SEALING the ANSWERS.. does not LOOK, FEEL, or SMELL HONEST or LEGIT!! IMHO….

Oh, and GUYS???? Don’t diss on ME.. after all, OBAMA HIMSELF.. SWORE to you he’d be HONEST, OPEN, and TRANSPARENT!! Don’t like what some of us SAY or BELIEVE about him?? It’s HIS FAULT then!!!
Maybe he shouldn’t have LIED, about what he REALLY would do, once given the WH keys……

@Hankster58: Ck. out the “Bounel” story on Snopes.–realizing you may dislike them as much as I dislike WND.
I’m a fan of conspiracies as much as the next guy—JFK magic bullet, subliminal advertising,Shakespeare.
But I think 99% are B.S.
As Aqua suggests Obama should be nailed down on Benghazi.
Wasting time and looking foolish on ss#,Hawaiian birth, Columbia attendance etc—hurts rather than helps.

BTW I give Obama a B- on performance to date. Disappointed

I’m not sure if my picture is in my college yearbook or not. I think it is for 1 of the 4 years. But I assure you that even though I finished many years ago, more than one professor would have remembered me. O was supposed to be a History major and not one history prof at Columbia has any recall of him at all. No student at Columbia has any recall of him. There are no records of him ever attending.

Aqua, it is known who the Conn SSN was issued to, and it was not BO.

@Richard Wheeler: A B-? really? that low huh? He would have to do a lot to get up to an F- with me. Regardless of what Snopes says, you can bet that the SS no. belonged to Bounel before it belonged to O.

@Redteam: Redteam You wear blinders, refusing to even read sources that disagree with you. How can you expect to influence the large # of independents who will view you as a right wing fanatic?
Maybe you don’t care. Reality is you and Smorg are Godsends for the Libs.

@Hankster58 and Redteam: Taken all together, something doesn’t smell right but I think it’s more likely the result of covering up for and embellishing the past to promote him politically as opposed to him being some sort of a Muslim Manchurian candidate who was planted here to set the country up for a takeover by Muslim hordes. That’s based on knowing how the Chicago machine and Outfit work as well as his past. Remember his “career” as a “professor of Constitutional law”? An embellishment. Same goes for his “career” as a lawyer. How many cases did he actually present in court, one? There is a pattern of embellishment. As for Bounel, that’s one SSN. What about the other 38? There has to be a record of what numbers were used, where and when they were used, and for what. That will establish what the motives are.

@another vet:

As for Bounel, that’s one SSN. What about the other 38? There has to be a record of what numbers were used, where and when they were used, and for what. That will establish what the motives are.

Vet, using someone else’s SSN is a felony. He only has to do that one time. However, once he got into office, he controls all those agencies, etc so the odds of info getting out is very slim. Like the deletion of his mothers passport records. Talking about a coverup, what about Columbia. Apparently he never attended a class there but somehow is able to claim he’s a graduate. A lot of cover-up going on.

@Richard Wheeler: @Richard Wheeler: Snopes have been proven wrong several times.. so they are no golden rule.. two… how did, by ACCIDENT… this “Bounel” guy end up coming up with Obama ‘s address?? third.. why has no one ever SEEN, or why has “Harrison J Bounel”.. never COME FORWARDS???
You’d think, if he existed, this would be creating a MAJOR HEADACHE for him…. CREDIT ISSUES, etc etc.. yet.. no show?

Just pointing out logical questions….

@another vet: Hey, I have NO CLUE as to what all Obama has done, or has been doing, but all this, with him SEALING EVERY RECORD on himself.. his MOTHERS Passport info “disappearing” etc… is just TOO MUCH “coincidence”…. it FAILS the sniff test! LOL!

@Hankster58: Hank, you do realize Bounel was born in 1890 don’t you? so if he comes around it’s gonna be in spiritual form.

Here is the Snopes article “debunking” everything. Short on physical evidence, heavy on assumptions. Draw your own conclusions. There are some decent points in there however. It’s not as bad as the one site I went to where the guy “debunked” Gen. George Sada’s claim about Saddam sending WMD into Syria right before the war started. That guy was a complete idiot who didn’t have the foggiest idea of what he was talking about.

http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/birthers/ssn.asp

@another vet: Vet, Snopes has that ‘debunking’ so screwed up, they don’t even know which end is up. They don’t even have the known facts listed correctly, it wasn’t Ludwig’s SSN involved. Snopes did debunk the fake story, but they haven’t even attempted to ‘debunk’ the Bounel SSN story. I’ll make up a fake story. Alice is the mother of John, Jake, Jane and Joy. Sam is a half brother of these four children. Sam is not the son of Alice. Since there is no way Sam is Alice’s son, I have debunked the theory that Sam is a brother to the other four children. For some reason, Snopes feels like proving that Obama is not using Ludwig’s SSN is equivalent to him not using Bounel’s. Snopes is usually correct. Why they are deliberately coving this up by using the wrong ‘facts’ is a mystery to me.

@Redteam: Snopes is fucking with all you right wing conspiracy nuts.
THEY ARE LAUGHING AT YOU. Playing with you.
What happened to Benghazi?

Semper Fi

@Richard Wheeler: Yea, ha ha, I know. You don’t use them as a reference, do you?

Ben Ghazi? did he use his SSN also? that makes 39, or is it 40?

@Redteam: #187 DOH!!! This guy has so much going on, and I comment so much, I totally BLEW that one!! Hard to keep track of all this stuff anymore with this administration!! MY BAD!!!
Thanks for correcting me.

@Richard Wheeler: I find it very DISTASTEFUL for a guy who crows a lot about being in the MILITARY.. that you BACK and COVER for a CIC… Who left men IN THE FIELD to be SLAUGHTERED and DIE, then REFUSES to ANSWER FOR IT!! SEMPER FI??? I think your last post just took a SCHIT on that saying.. disgraceful!! Sorry.. you seem to be “Semper Fi” to OBAMA.. but what about those in SERVICE to the US… he LET DIE?? Geezus… This guy is NOT a JOKE….

@Richard Wheeler: #190.. if they are so TRUTHFUL and CORRECT.. they couldn’t POSSIBLY be doing that to us, now “could they” !! So, WHICH IS IT?? they are factual and Honest?? OR lib shills?? Make up your mind……

@Redteam: 181.. I was thinking the same thing….. Obama has been hands down THE WORST…..

@Hankster58: Thing is I’m not Semper Fi, in lock step with BHO—YOU GOT ME CONFUSED.
I want the truth on Benghazi—-Gave him a B- on performance.
You people wasting time questioning Hawaiian birth, attendance at Columbia,SS#’s, his religion etc, are being laughed at not only by Dems but by indies. Honestly Hankster you look foolish.
Get focused on what matters. ODS is just as ugly as BDS.

This entire conceit that Obama is somehow material lacking in ethics or honesty relative to his predecessors is laughable, both for the assumptions made about Obama and the credulity granted to a guy like Bush. These men are all politicians. They’re open where it suits them and evasive where it doesn’t. It’s silly to think otherwise. George W Bush was not a stoic rancher from Texas. He was an entitled rich kid from Connecticut. The man was an acknowledged alcoholic for years and, like Obama and Clinton, a drug user in his school years. I don’t think he was taking cabs or the subway around Kennebunkport and Texas when he was partying. By today’s standards of DUI, how many times do you think he got behind the wheel after a few too many? Probably nearly every day for years. You don’t think his father’s name helped him out of a few jams in all that time? But people who want to believe in the GWB myth are more than willing to overlook that. The real question is, why honest about some things and evasive about others? It’s very simple, look at each man’s audience. Obama can be frank about his pot smoking because Democrats for the most part don’t judge people for that, whereas Bush has to be evasive about his college coke years because that won’t fly with Evangelicals (the boozing, when wrapped in a nice little redemption story, will). Obama on the other hand, will be evasive about grades because a certain well-educated segment of the Democratic coalition spent years mocking GWB for his C’s, so how would it look to them if they were backing a guy who didn’t get straight A’s? These guys are elected because they project an image that resonates with voters. The image is partially real, and partially gloss. If you’re going to see through the gloss on the other guy, make sure you’re not ignoring it on yours.

@Richard Wheeler: Well.. going STRICTLY by the NUMBERS… UNEMPLOYMENT… WELFARE ROLLS… Food Stamp rolls.. DISABILITY rolls.. ECONOMY….( real, not the Bernanke fake DOW) JOBS… etc etc…..if Obama got a B-… then Bush you gave A+ ??? LOL.. thought not….

@Richard Wheeler: #196

Get focused on what matters.

RW, ha ha, let me get this straight. It’s not important if the person in the White House, the CiC is not an American or eligible to be in that place? That’s not important? Semper Foo

@Redteam: Believing that BHO is not eligible to be POTUS puts you in a very small and deluded % of the American populace.
Hankster I would give my Fraternity Brother “W’, Yale drunken Deke, a gentleman’s C.

@Tom: Tom, where and in which comment is someone saying GWB was a saint while lowering the boom on BO? I haven’t been seeing that. We do know where GWB was born and grew up and who his parents are. We don’t know that about BO. We do know that BO said he would have an open and transparent presidency while he has the exact opposite. We do know that BO, as far as I know, failed to protect his ambassador, when he had every opportunity to do so. Do you know of any ambassadors that GWB had a chance to save, that he failed to do so? The question is not about BO’s grades, it’s about his attendance. No professor or student at Columbia ever saw BO in a classroom at that school. I believe GWB’s school records have all been made public.
What does the ‘number of times’ that GWB drove under the influence have to do with anything? How many accidents did he cause because of it? How many people did he harm. Do you think DUI is worse than DWT (driving while texting)? In the last one month, on two occasions, I’ve had to slam on brakes and leave the lane to avoid being head ended by a texter. Don’t know what it is about BO that earns your loyalty, strange things happen. Maybe it’s all the exotic vacation trips he and Moochelle take.
