Who was the last decent President we've had?

[30a Saluki]

"My Administration is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in Government. We will work together to ensure the public trust and establish a system of transparency, public participation, and collaboration. Openness will strengthen our democracy and promote efficiency and effectiveness in Government". (with the possible exception of using US government agencies, e.g. IRS as political hacks) haha

"If you like your healthcare, your get to keep your your healthcare, period. If you like your doctor, you get to keep your doctor, period"

Any other other questions?

PS- the community organizer is now in charge of running a war. Why am I worried???

Congrats to all of the Hopenchange voting mental midgets.

"We" all got what "you" (foolishly) voted for.

PPS- is the existence of this thread a tacit admission of the failure (whether admitted or not) of this clown???

Yeah, it would have been much better to have McCain as president. We could have had a war in Syria, Iran, and Ukraine going on, and a military presence in Iraq for the next hundred years. Since the original Iraq war only cost 3 trillion dollars, all these other wars shouldn't cost that much more money and lives, would it?

1. I like my healthcare and I got to keep it. Same with my doctor.

2. When he waves a mission accomplished banner, I'll start to get concerned.

Interesting piece. The Fall of Iraq - What You Aren't Being Told: http://youtu.be/ey9tExYbjm8
Fairly nonpartisan.

Just wall the area off and let them fight among themselves.

McCain would have sent the Wasillabillies to take down the infidels, you betcha!

I'll get concerned when he calls it a crusade.

When he starts talking about Gog and Magog.

Just when you thought it couldn't get crazier, a well-sourced story claims Bush invaded Iraq because of Bible prophecies

• Here's a story we should all be ashamed of missing: George W Bush attempted to sell the invasion of Iraq to Jacques Chirac using biblical prophecy. In the winter of 2003, when George Bush and Tony Blair were frantically gathering support for their planned invasion, Professor Thomas Römer, an Old Testament expert at the university of Lausanne, was rung up by the Protestant Federation of France. They asked him to supply them with a summary of the legends surrounding Gog and Magog and as the conversation progressed, he realised that this had originally come, from the highest reaches of the French government. President Jacques Chirac wanted to know what the hell President Bush had been on about in their last conversation. Bush had then said that when he looked at the Middle East, he saw "Gog and Magog at work" and the biblical prophecies unfolding. But who the hell were Gog and Magog? Neither Chirac nor his office had any idea. But they knew Bush was an evangelical Christian, so they asked the French Federation of Protestants, who in turn asked Professor Römer.
