Obama's economic advisor no "White Male Construction Workers"

Nah lets just skewer him like the Socialists have always done for anyone that disagrees with them. Why be different?

Fine. Have at it. Don't forget, we Obamabots beat the Bush legacy, McCain, Caribou Barbie and the next coming of the Clinton dynasty... your puny little Senate Republicans ain't got nuttin on us!

And thanks for that. Now if we can take down the Socialists then life will be great. The only problem is that there are two choices. Neocons or Socialists.

Well, Obama has put a necon in State and socialists in Labor... I guess you're screwed dude.

[luckytxn 2,264]

Tell me about it. Just hope he don't screw it up too much.

Oh, but the Fascists are much more better at skewering.

Since when is stupidity quantifiable?

Ask britty....she seems qualified to make such declarations.

She's as qualified to think he's stupid as many are to think Bush is stupid. I also think Obama is stupid. He and little man Reich don't seem to be aware that white construction workers are an endangered species and could use a stimulus plan. That's just plain stupid.

Hillary Clinton is now a neocon?

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Hillary Clinton is now a neocon?

Yes. What does this sound like to you?

[luckytxn 2,264]

Way to go Clinton. And if everyone thinks that is kinda cool. Just remember Obama was talking about going into Pakistan during the debates. Think Iraq was fun just wait till we see what happens when we break Pakistan We will be wishing for the good old days of Iraq.

Break Pakistan? Sounds good to me.

[alienlovechild 75]

Yes. What does this sound like to you?

Pretty mild considering Israel getting nuked by Iran and Hillary promises "massive retaliation". Why didn't just she said say will nuke Iran and not bother with B-52 strikes for example. Obama must be a neocon as well because I thought he said something similiar.

You may have to find a new buzzword because the word "neocon" is commonly used to describe people you may disagree with without any defined ideology. Nuke deterrence has never been solely a neocon issue so it doesn't apply here either.

It may be Obamas plan to take our mind off of the economy.

Nah. We will keep using Neocons as we see fit. It isn't like there is anything you can do about it

How did I miss this gem. I suppose we can think whatever we want about our elected officials - as to whether our opinion are baseless or grounded in evidence....that's a different story - and is the gist of my argument. Again, re-emphasize there's a difference between saying something stupid and being stupid. britty, from her enlightening posts doesn't seem to make the distinction. Example - United Nations is corrupt because, according to her logic, there has been corruption within the governing body, yet she can't or doesn't make the same conclusion about the Bush Administration or other governments in general.

If you can't distinguish between the U.S. government and the UN, you've got problems. Americans are 100% responsible for their government for good or ill. We don't have much choice unless you'd like to outsource governance to say the UN perhaps?

Exactly how is the U.S. expected to reform an organization is has only one vote in but pays around 25% of the budget?

Only one vote in the General Assembly, but then again the GA is just an ineffectual showpiece.

The real power is in the Security Council and we have a veto there.

That said, I agree that our 22% share in the UN budget is excessive. Japan pays 16% and given that they don't even get a veto I'd say they're getting an even worse deal than we are.
