Oh, yes, Mister Obama cares...
Excuse me, Nick, my very good friend, in all seriousness, and all the sincerity I can muster at the moment:
What, and / or, Who... does Mister Obama care about, as displayed by his Actions, not his words?
Extending healthcare coverage to all citizens and making it affordable.
Being bipartisan and doing every single thing he could do to get a Republican to vote for the HR bill and still have it accomplish something and have it pass.
Nuclear non-proliferation and arms reductions. We all know that using nukes is a logical fallacy. With nuclear fallout and radioactive material lasting centuries, we don't want a nuclear war.Our world would be much better without nukes. But it is especially important that we keep North Korea nuke-free and that we Disarm Iran. Because a raving dictator may not have the sense to abstain from hitting the trigger.
Resetting the economy that Reagan, the republican congress under Clinton and Bush destroyed. Once he gets unemployment 8%, then he will move on the Budget.
Based on what he has done, I really think he believes that he can get the budget balanced and that is something he wants to do.
He values R&D which is very important, he assigned significant funds for R&D.
He is interested in holding the shitheads in the banks accountable and hopefully he will get legislation through that forces them to act only as banks, and not as hedgefunds and financial betters.
Really, the guy has been in office only year. The guy was handed the worst economic outlook since FDR was handed the Great Depression. Once he gets the economy moving then I really think you will see him focus on the budget.
but it does feel like he actually cares about what happens unlike Bush.
And Nick is exactly right. Unlike the Bush administration with Cheney saying Deficits don't matter Obama actually cares about the budget and will attempt to right it regardless of the economy he was handed and despite the numerous spendy programs implemented by Bush for no good reason and despite Republicans taking so much money out of Social Security and Medicare.
I'm more interested in North Korea's provocations against the South, Iran's nuclear ambitions, the general anti-Israel attitude (you've got to love Helen Thomas's latest comment while at the White House), the administration's attempts to buy off challengers to established politicians, and the entire EU flushing itself down the hopper.
Has Mr. Obama addressed any of it?
With North Korea what exactly do you want him to do as of now? North Korea doesn't exactly respond to any diplomatic notions, and they really can't because they've convinced their people that the United States has tried to invade their country many times. But we have had soldiers on the Korean border since 1950..
You've got to love Helen Thomas's latest comment while at the White House
You seem to care about cosmetic issues more than anything.
Yeah she's a fuckin retard but I think Obama has bigger problems on his hands. Religion is the problem here.
the administration's attempts to buy off challengers to established politicians
Source please. (And no, the GOP saying so doesn't count.)
and the entire EU flushing itself down the hopper
So you are saying you would rather have Obama address the European economy and focus on that rather than letting them solve their own problems? That doesn't sound like you man.
