Oh then, Merc...what are YOU doing to change things, besides posting articles all the time?

Are you happy and comfortable with yourself? Are you true to YOU every day? I don't think so, but I could be wrong. What are you doing to get things done?

I don't read dana'a question as pertaining to a particular president. I understood "(regardless of who is in power), how far can you go when mocking the president? At what point will you get thrown in jail?"

but maybe i'm nuts

This has nothing to do with me. This has everything to do with Obama and what he promised the American public.

I cant agree with that and I dont believe that is what the framers of the Constitution had in mind.

I agree.

I cant agree with that and I dont believe that is what the framers of the Constitution had in mind..even in times of a national crisis, real or manufactured.
This whole statement is comical on so many levels.

Read my lips, no new Gitmo.

It's a far sight better at attempting to live up to campaign promises than I've seen in my lifetime...there are obstacles. You seriously don't see that?

That is always your first and best response. Read: useless.

Well yeah.

But I'm guessing dana likes the political discourse she has prompted.

I see that he promised to close it by Dec. And I fully support it. If he does not he fails.

"there are obstacles"? No shit? So you are willing to give him a pass but not Bush? Fuck that, if it is not closed by Dec, as he promised, all the blame rests on him. Completely.

You never address anything that doesn't jibe with your viewpoint. I don't have to say it again, you'll just ignore it anyway.

I agree. I don't think this thread was meant to discuss individuals, but more a comentary about the office of pres.

Over here you can pretty much say anything you like about the PM, but then, we have a very similar set up as the UK atm.
