lol...American exceptionalism. We know his positions on immigration.

hmmm. i don't think i know what his opinions are on american exceptionalism, i thought the default for us presidents has to be "manifest destiny america is number one CRUSH ALL" like it's in the oath.

[f&c 50]

You had me up to the last sentence. What do you mean please?

He may state that he does, but IMO many of President Obama's actions do not reflect American exceptionalism. The Iran nuclear deal, abandoning Iraq and soon Afghanistan, cuts in the military's budget are some examples. I guess it depends on one's definition of American exceptionalism.

was that his aim? all his droning should help him out no? he's more than enough peace through strength for me. peace through strength is right up there with trickle down economics in the pure bs category.

With his own two bare hands.

I guess when you are hired on by a company as the new CEO and all the people before you who were working on a project long before you were in the picture are finally ready to deploy, and they ask your permission, and you say yes, you get to claim credit for having done it all yourself.

[smilesammich 10,727]

eye roll. everybody knows bush jr. wasn't going to actually allow bin laden to be killed. they were like brothers with different mothers.

I know right? Not only that but once you do OK it after taking forever to think about it and almost missing your opportunity, it's not actually the people deploying that are responsible but you. And at the same time you also lowered gas prices and saved the economy. lol how can one person do so much. Must be one of a kind type wonderful person.

I give credit where credit is due. Obama did green light the operation to get Bin Laden. I'll never forget that night.

Yeah, because ALL presidents kill terrorists up close and personal like. Obama is the ONLY one who didn't do that.

Of course. Because it took 8 years to get ready and they said hey let's wait until the next guy comes in, then we'll go get him.

Do you know anyone(president or not) who wouldn't have?

Well, maybe Bernie. NM.

[f&c 50]

I would hope that any President would move forward on such an operation.

Don't get me started on Bernie. How an American can consider a socialist is beyond me. This is the strangest election cycle I've seen in my lifetime. On both sides.

I don't think it really matters he's s socialist; he's just not a core party member, same reason trump/cruz get support (despite both being quite different).

On the slim chance in hell bernie gets the nomination he isn't likely to get a ton accomplished because he'd be stonewalled everywhere from both sides of the aisle.

Good point. It's definitely an insurgency election.
