Ron Paul. That is all.![]()
To answer your question Dave, he's both. He's smug in general to his opponents stateside and a coward in worldly affairs. It's not the US President's job to run around apologizing for things he had nothing to do with. That's weakness. Not the apology, the fact that he thinks he's going to mend fences with other countries by saying "oops, sorry". And who did that impress? All our new friends in the Middle East that still loathe us? The French and other Europeans? I want my president in the business of running our country like a well oiled machine, taking care of its citizens, not galavanting around the globe stooping and bowing and generally looking like a bitch to world leaders. If he's in any kind of popularity contest, it should be with his boss, the people of the US, not other countries or world leaders.
Watch his speeches, tell me he doesn't look as if he's physically trying to hold back on his delivery. Every word out of his mouth is *too* measured and just make for good applause lines and quotes for the papers and TV. Sure he can read a teleprompter quite well, but every time I've seen him talking off the cuff, he gets rattled easily and seems easily annoyed. I would love to see him debate Trump if it ever comes to that. Trump would tear him a new asshole.
The first paragraph I thoroughly disagree with so I'll leave that where it is as to persue that would be completely pointless.
The second paragraph I can get on board with, when he knows what he's going to say he's solid, but when posed with a random question that he's not sure how to answer he stammers and looks very uncomfortable.
One thing I will say is that in my opinion, the US people are definitely not the boss of their government and if you can name a country where that is actually the case I'd be very interested to hear about it.
Obama made a lot of promises, and didn't deliver on most of them.
I don't want to have casual tea with my president. I don't want the president to be on the television every day giving speeches to minorities or under fed kids. I don't want a president that everybody likes or one that tries to make everyone like them.
I want a president, (whether its a ma,n womon, robot, or flaming insane clown possey fanatic) to run this country with the authority and tact worthy or a world super power. Somebody that will make the hard decisions and not kiss asses while doing it. Someone who doesn't follow the lines or party boundaries, but does what they have to do to make sure this country is not in debt to any other nation.
Is that so much to ask?
Goddamn this thread title and the banners it's generating.
In regards to the smugness... I've seen plenty of white presidents that were smug as fuck. I don't remember it mentioned. I hate to turn this into a race thing and I hope it doesn't turn into a huge racial debate, but I've been noticing that things ppl would typically dismiss in a [100%] white man, they seem to bitch about in Barrack.
Just an observation...![]()
Yeah, so.. News flash: the President ultimately doesn't have much power. He's a public figure, and all he needs to be is a face. Hate Obama all you want, but he's not a bad guy, and he wouldn't be able to ruin your life even if he wanted to.
Good lord. I agree with you, Adam. What kind of witchcraft is this?!
Orb, the public/media/voice of the people rarely has anything good to say about Obama, so he's not buying into any bullshit.. He's holding his composure. I don't think the man's ego appears large enough, actually.
