You know, Obama's not doing such a bad job.

[Shlomart Ben Yisrael]

With the hand he was dealt after 2 terms of disastrous Bush policy, he's actually holding things together nicely.

RACK your Commander In Chief!

In other words...

Oh, and...

I've lived through them all. OK--not quite. This guy makes Nixon look like an honest patriotic economic wizard.

[Wolfman]

Somebody told me he was a war hero and only lived 16 months as POTUS. He did a decent job because he used a balanced approach.

No, he--and every other president since FDR--makes Nixon look like Rosa Luxemburg...

The overreaching Euro-socialist nanny state that today’s Republicans despise? That blossomed in the Nixon administration.

Spending on social services doubled, and military budgets actually decreased. He oversaw the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and the Consumer Product Safety Commission. His administration was the first to encourage and enable American Indian tribal autonomy. He quadrupled the staff of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, almost tripled federal outlays for civil rights and began affirmative action in federal hiring. He supported the Equal Rights Amendment and signed Title IX, the law granting equality to female student athletes. One of his Supreme Court appointees wrote the Roe v. Wade decision.

Nixon made Social Security cost-of-living increases automatic, expanded food stamps and started Supplemental Security Income for the disabled and elderly poor. It helped, of course, that Democrats controlled the House and Senate. But it was the president, not Congress, who proposed a universal health insurance plan and a transformation of welfare that would have set a guaranteed minimum income and allowed men to remain with their welfare-recipient families. It was Nixon who radically intervened in the free market by imposing wage and price controls, launched détente with the Soviets, normalized relations with Mao’s China and let the Communists win in Vietnam.

And, for good measure, the budget for the National Endowment for the Arts grew sixfold, by far the biggest increase by any president.


Yeah, reality bites the ass hard, eh?

The idea of regarding Barry as some sort of "liberal" is just fake attack by demented Tea Baggers--Hannity and Limpdick corporate whores, etc.

[Mr. Schwump]

Looks like those state dinners are the better bargain to me.

[Screw_Michigan]

Why don't you just post under your real nick? You're not fooling anyone, tard.

[Left Seater]

88, don't bring Jsc down with the details. Headlines are where its at. It is so easy to ignore the 130,000 folks that stopped looking for work last month.

[Mr. Schwump]

I forgot. This is not a place for fun.
