Obama Being Stupid Again

Source and facts or it didn't happen. Before you swear something is a thing, make sure it's not an opinion.

I'm only kidding [:
I wuvs everyone.

I meant in general. Being part of a military family it's not something we like to hear

LoL, ignorance is amusing....

OK OK, it's awesome that Barack Hussein Obama is black. Whatever. But, to say that most people voted for him because of it is just plain stupid.



Ah, yea, he hasn't done much.....in fact, here's a "minuscule" list of things he did even BEFORE reaching the seat of presidency:


As a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Obama made official trips to Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. In August 2005, he traveled to Russia, Ukraine, and Azerbaijan. The trip focused on strategies to control the world's supply of conventional weapons, biological weapons, and weapons of mass destruction as a first defense against potential terrorist attacks.

Following meetings with U.S. military in Kuwait and Iraq in January 2006, Obama visited Jordan, Israel, and the Palestinian territories.

He left for his third official trip in August 2006, traveling to South Africa, Kenya, Djibouti, Ethiopia and Chad. In a nationally televised speech at the University of Nairobi, he spoke forcefully on the influence of ethnic rivalries and corruption in Kenya.

Obama worked with Russ Feingold (D–WI) to eliminate gifts of travel on corporate jets by lobbyists to members of Congress and require disclosure of bundled campaign contributions under the "Honest Leadership and Open Government Act", which was signed into law in September 2007.

He joined Chuck Schumer (D-NY) in sponsoring S. 453, a bill to criminalize deceptive practices in federal elections, including fraudulent flyers and automated phone calls, as witnessed in the 2006 midterm elections.

Obama also introduced the "Iraq War De-Escalation Act", a bill to cap troop levels in Iraq, begin phased redeployment, and remove all combat brigades from Iraq before April 2008.

Later in 2007, Obama sponsored with Kit Bond (R-MO) an amendment to the 2008 Defense Authorization Act adding safeguards for personality disorder military discharges, and calling for a review by the Government Accountability Office following reports that the procedure had been used inappropriately to reduce government costs.

Joined Chuck Hagel (R-NE) in introducing legislation to reduce risks of nuclear terrorism.A provision from the Obama-Hagel bill was passed by Congress in December 2007 as an amendment to the State-Foreign Operations appropriations bill.

Obama also sponsored a Senate amendment to the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) to provide one year of job protection for family members caring for soldiers with combat-related injuries. After passing both houses of Congress with bipartisan majorities, SCHIP was vetoed by President Bush in early October 2007, a move Obama said "shows a callousness of priorities that is offensive to the ideals we hold as Americans."

Obama's Global Poverty Act of 2007, passed out of committee just a few days ago
WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senators Barack Obama (D-IL), Chuck Hagel (R-NE), and Maria Cantwell (D-WA) and Congressman Adam Smith (D-WA) today hailed the Senate Foreign Relations Committee's passage of the Global Poverty Act (S.2433), which requires the President to develop and implement a comprehensive policy to cut extreme global poverty in half by 2015 through aid, trade, debt relief, and coordination with the international community, businesses and NGOs. This legislation was introduced in December. Smith and Congressman Spencer Bachus (R-AL) sponsored the House version of the bill (H.R. 1302), which passed the House last September.

Barack has Written a total of 890 Bills and Co-sponsored Another 1096 since he started serving in the U.S. Senate.


And, now, he's the 44th President of the United States of America. Yea, because he's black. LoL

Oh, wait, here's the kicker:
Before any of you go on about anything that was set in motion before he was inaugurated, know that President Obama put an immediate halt and abolishment to any and all pending bills and amendments left behind by the Bush administration as soon as he sat down in the Oval Office.

Hi Skool Edumacation for the win! ^_^

lol

My town we have 2 kebab shops, 3 indians and a chinese.

I mean remember fish and chips, No-one knows the UK for that anymore.

I mean the closest 'British' Dish we have to being a known 'British' dish, is a full english breakfast.

because no one on these forums have a sense of humor there all robots who stab at each other, i personally believe mr.dumbass aka george double-yah and his HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE father were oil hungry....my personal opinion. most republicans are *** idiots who want nothing but to be number 1, kinda like nascar drivers they dont know ***but how to drive a car, and let others service them for there lazy ***.kinda like how our "diplomatic" presidents sent out millions of troops who died for our country's freedom....kinda funny you can send troops but sit back and say send more out to die.

He didn't mean in general.

Oh of course sorry. I should have gone on Wiki and copy pasted all and any info I could find

Seeing that we don't really draft anyone to the military I'd say most if not all of them joined at their own will. The President isn't really supposed to go to war with them... lol...
And whats the point of an army you don't use?
I don't understand why everyone says bring em home, they're doing their job, thats all

Solution: bring back federalism.

lol do eeeet!

Yes, you should have. It would've made you look less ignorant.

Research ftw! ^_^

There are a lot of reasons why people go into the military actually, yes it's at their own will but I know for a fact it's rarely because they want to but because they didn't have much of a choice.

Copypasting wiki is not reasearch.

Don't tell my lecturer's that >_>;

not now, its free will now but i'm talkin bout past, like when u get that form in the mail to fill out basically signing your life away thankfully i escaped that but friends of mine werent so lucky and i will never see them again because of it along with my brother sorry just dont see the point in "dying for your country"

Yes because using FTW is the way to say I'm as intelligent as it gets

Thank you

Since when is this supposed to be an informative thread?

It's the old Obama VS .... in a new skin.

You don't see the point in dying for your country? Oh and the forms in the mail are for selective service, at least i think thats what you mean, and im fairly sure that is in case they do have a draft. And back to the part with you not seeing the point in dying for your country, You are not an American, stfu and leave with your opinions.

I'm sorry to hear that. Its true though. You don't know what the hell is really going on until you're a part of it. I learned that one the hard way.

Cat avatars ftw. No dates for youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

copy and pasting makes you look "more ignorant" because anyone can do it, reading and understanding is FTW.

are you serious marz? get the *** out of here
