What? The Americans are behind in brain-washing techniques???

They may not provide any useful intel, but the NSA will be able to listen in on all their conversations over the free Obamaphones they were given before we dropped them off in Qatar.

Are you being a drag about a one-letter mispelling, or are you one of those "uttering the preznit's middle name = racism" cretins?

I don't care about the spelling. I'm wondering why someone would refer to the president as his middle name? Would they have done so had his middle name been Walter? Probably not. And you know that.

Do I think that's racism? Who knows. Ask the people who do it, not me.

Yes because I never heard anyone say W or GWB,Dubya, Junior etc etc..

Of course if we use a nickname for Obama it means we are Racist.

I like Preznit

1. Nowhere did I say it was acceptable in regards to anyone else.

2. I also didn't say I thought it was racist.

Glad to see you're back to responding to imaginary arguments.

She didn't ask if it was racist, she just asked why.

Why would you think that it was racist off the bat?

Nice* to see this Army Regulation getting Obamacized !!! Sheesh ! What's next in the lineup/queue for Obama-ization?

* - Noo - it's not nice at all. Instead, I see it as a massive fail by The Kenyan.

Mmm, because it's his name?

Would they have done so had his middle name been Walter? Probably not. And you know that.

Unlike GWB, who was often referred to by detractors merely as "W". I'm sure you objected to that as well. Right?

Do I think that's racism? Who knows. Ask the people who do it, not me.

Ahhh, You're in denial then. Racism is rife in our society and YOU'RE part of the problem White priveledge and all. Just stop.

Won't negotiate with terrorists? You had better tell that to Ronald Reagan, who sold a boatload of missles to the terrorist government of Ayatollah Khomeni and then used the proceeds to support the terrorist Contras who were fighting the elected government of Nicaragua.

Yes, Obama did reduce the deficit. It is less than half now from when he took office.

And I sitll have my pre-Obamacare doctors.

One more thing to complete my two cents: Even if this soldier is guilty of desertion, he is still entitled to a fair trial at a court martial board. Abandoning him to the enemy is never approproiate, guilty or not.

You must be new here. Anything the past administration has done is non admissible. It's only a problem if Obama does it.

The US has supported lots of terrorist organisationg when it has suited purpose. Exchanging prisoners is what happens in the real pragmatic world. I am not at all sure that any attention should be paid to extreme right wingers. It seems like their absurd accusations are weakening the position of the US, not strengthening it but ultimately the whole episode will be forgotten soon enough and nothing will change that much.
