A new war is coming. If Obama wants to get re-elected we will have another war. If the election is based on peoples thoughts about the economy and budget issues FAIL

Just wait a minute. Hold up. He was elected to END wars, right ?

Isn't that what we were told ?

Winner of the Nobel P E A C E prize, remember ?


Didn't the Libyan war do the trick it was suppose to, and give his poll #'s a boost ?


No ? You've got to be kidding. Every American loves a good war! Why, that's the only reason W got re-elected, right ?

Hmm...if he gave us a war, and didn't get the expected bounce.... he's gotta think of something else. And quick!


hold on to your butts.

A new war? Iraq+Afghanistan+Pakistan+Yemen+Libya+Syria isn't enough?

That's what a ship is, you know - it's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails, that's what a ship needs.

Hate to break it to you, but liberals are quite dumb, and their ADD prohibits continuity of thought.
Remember FDR campaigned in 1940 for Isolationism, staying OUT of the WAR, although admitting privately he would need to enter the War after winning election? Then forfeiting Pearl Harbor and all those lives, and starting Income Tax (edit: change to Feberal Debt, Federal Budget Deficit), and every Libtard since then has thought he's the greatest Prez since, like, ever? The template is clear, and Obama can read the teleprompter well enough.

I conjured you had more sense, Rappy. Or historical recall.

:P

Hello,

It took me a while, but I finally figured it out. 35% was the presidential approval rating, according to rasmussen reports.

Yup, Anthony - you got it. Obama's numbers are pretty low right now, though; he's at 41% approval. When Bush was at 35% (and lower!, Rappy and others here were proclaiming him one of the greatest Presidents in history. Looks like Obama must be doing better than great.

I suppose the only question is, whether or not his blatantly obvious sockpuppetry qualifies as an act of masturbation in the verbal sense, thus rendering at least one of them a "bloody pillock" in rather the exact sense of the term.

The really funny thing is how much of that simple post you got wrong, while berating "liberals" as being the dumb ones, and claiming Rappy had poor "historical recall".

Personal income tax started in this country under LINCOLN, not FDR. L I N C O L N. Remember him? The first Republican prez? The one who wiped his ass with the Constitution, setting a precedent all future Republicans would follow? And you Republiturds all revere him as the greatest president ever...

Further, the 16th Amendment, which instituted the "modern" income tax, was passed and ratified under another Republican President, William Howard Taft, in 1912-1913. He also proposed and signed into law corporate income taxes.

In sum, it seems your "historical recall" is rather more hysterical than historical.

I'm so done with Libya, those rebels don't have a plan, we don't have any business being there. I was open to it if the rebels wanted us, before I found out that they had no plans whatsoever and now we're mired down in another war. I came up with this two-wars-at-a-time limit idea before, now we're in three. Errrrrrrg. What happened to him getting us out of Iraq?
