How about you post one then. I have read around 7 so far. The only thing close to what you are saying is how Obama was critical of how the military tribunals were being conducted, and how he was restructuring them to be more to his liking.

It would be one thing if the guy went oh no Bush's system (that couldn't pass legal muster for shit) was correct, were gonna go back to that without any changes.

No.

I stated, GWB came into office with a SURPLUS and asked how he left office..


pretty lil chart, but irrelevant to my post. thanks for playing.

So you have a problem if Bush increases the debt but Obama gets a free pass?

Sure, those things led to deficit spending, and Obama has similar issues on his plate, but again, look at the chart. Bush didn't throw money at problems trillions of dollars at a time.

I don't agree with deficit spending regardless of whose name or which party it is.

TARP, not a fan.


Nothing like creating a bubble with artificially low interest rates and a "everyone gets a house" mentality of policymakers, then bailing out the financial sector and sticking us with that bill too.

the fact still remains, you rebutted nothing i stated with your pretty lil chart...and several follow ups... so.. again thanks for playing...

700 Billion=/ Trillions

I just said before, I don't approve of it under Bush and I don't approve of it under Obama, you don't believe that Obama is taking us to a completely new level of deficit spending and overall debt?

Thanks for playing.

Blacksheep commented on how Obama has been rapidly increasing the debt, instead of taking it on you brought up Bush. That bastion of right-wing sentiment known as the Congressional Budget Office is projecting Obama to be a FAR worse spender then Bush, so why was Bush brought up in the first place?

All on the first page of the link:


When Obama ran for president, he repeatedly pledged to shut down the Guantánamo prison camp, which he called a “legal black hole.” Obama said he would “reject the Military Commissions Act,” and try terror detainees in the US court system. Then, in his January 20 executive order, issued to great media fanfare, Obama temporarily suspended ongoing cases in the military tribunal system.

From November 2008:

Now the US president-elect is said to be working towards closing down the camp.
His advisers say they're currently mapping out plans to send detainees to the US to face trial.

Ah, here's one where the Obama Administration is sending detainees to Bagram instead of Gitmo... as if that makes a difference.

Their answer came as a shock and a surprise. In a brief filing in federal court last week, lawyers from President Barack Obama’s Department of Justice (DOJ) said they would adopt the same position taken by the Bush administration -- that detainees held at the Bagram air base in Afghanistan have no right to challenge their detention in U.S. courts.

The U.S. government is holding more than 600 prisoners at Bagram. Some claim they are victims of “extraordinary rendition” by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), while many more say they have been tortured and abused at the facility just outside Kabul.

Hey 25psi don't take dink to heart, he's so immersed in the lib religion that he can't see the truth if it kicked him in the nizzuts.
You can tell when you're winning the argument, he starts insulting you personally.
