Default Congrats in Order for President Obama

I haven't heard the congrats from the Romney camp like the cheering heard from the White House. There's a big difference.

Obama's 'idea' of a democracy is far more than 'odd'. It's almost 'sick'

Depends on your definition of 'we'...guy at another site usta always remind us that we are a republic...my question then was 'why the hell are we shoving democracy down Iraq's throat'...why aren't we shoving republicism ..

True, we are a republic. But a lazy one so we misname it and it sticks! Thing is, dell and others keep bashing obama, but we originally supported mubarak. We only conceded the argument when our fellows in charge recognized that we were on the wrong side, that he was a goner.

yep-we didn't want him to lose power because he was friendly to our interests. ironic that we tried to prevent a dictator from losing power; obama only started supporting what had become inevitable when he recognized we were on the losing side.
but those facts can't stand in the way of griping at the pres-it's all his fault that an islamic guy is in charge now.

That fat turd is a globalist puppet leading the sheep to slaughter. Making it seem like they had elections helps remove our responsibility for inciting the coup.

He's a no-good, lying scumbag. His people are literally starving and he's using a religious book that was partly written by what are now known as Masons.

Oh well if they want to die because they're stupid then so be it. Have at it.

i don't need to look those up, i already know what's what. if the majority of egypt wants to have a member of the islamic brotherhood in charge, so be it. i don't live there, and don't really care what they do.

it would be nice if the fed thought the same way. but no, like religion, some use politics as a way to mind other peoples' business.

I think we agree if minding other peoples' business includes coveting those peoples' money.

Fortunately I and a lot of other people do care about what 'they' do especially when it concerns the safety of some of our closest allies. The fact women are treated as dogs also makes me care what 'they do'. With our President crying poor while sending them billions makes me care what 'they do'.

The fact the Muslim Brotherhood announced they would not put up a candidate yet lied was expected by me all along. The people (and posters here) who took them at their word and expounded on it affirmed my initial judgment of them as foolish idiots, President Obama included.

obviously we'd spend less money if we didn't try to get involved in every pissing contest that comes down the pike.
