Talk about the left wing not being able to accept responsibility, now they blame Bush for the failure to bring the Olympics to Chicago:

My question to the left is, at what date does your failures stop being the fault of GWB policies? When will you be able to stand on your own feet?

Bush will be their perpetual scape goat.
Meanwhile, liberals didn't think that our very own President has been apologizing to the world and telling the world how horrible the United States is? Perhaps he forgot that Chicago is still part of that bad country he keeps harping about.
You can't deny that the world distrusts America, either. I mean, the "Coalition of the Willing" included a Danish submarine and some Brits. Gee, I wonder if two wars based on lies, a system of gulags, torture of prisoners, trashing habeas corpus, thumbing our noses at the global environment, and destroying the global economy had something to do with that.
It was a former President of the IOC who had twice awarded the Olympics to American cities, who gave the pitch for Spain. Chicago made a weak bid.
Thanks for referring to the article, but don't you have better things to worry about? Really?
And yet he couldn't bring the games to Chicago. Go figure. lol
You're right Chicago - and Obama - made a weak bid. Someone posted an article about that a while ago. Obama has yet to understand that bragging about himself doesn't get him anywhere except in the US.
And you think everyone loves him? Have you not read what some of the world leaders are saying about Oaama? Seriously?
LEЯA © M., You mean he bawled in public about it, too.n Pathetic.
We all noticed at the U.N. how Gaddafi, Ahmadinejad, Chavez, and various other despots and dictators have a deep affection for him. It was duly noted in their speeches. Our allies are laughing at us, not with us. I won't speak for anyone else here, but I use to rest easier knowing those three hated us. It meant we had them in check. Obama's "America Sucks" tours earlier this year have emboldened these assholes.
"You can't deny that the world distrusts America, either."
Our allies do. Just ask Benjamin Netanyahu.
"....two wars based on lies...."
I guess that means your one of those 9/11 truther retards.
"....a system of gulags...."
I guess you mean Gitmo, hardly a Gulag. And torture? Waterboarding a few assholes vs. beheadings. Come on. Were you as adamant in your aversion to torture when Al Qaeda was beheading prisoners? Bet you didn't have one bad thing to post on the Arab websites about that.
"....thumbing our noses at the global environment...."
Just like India and China have and continue to do. Cap and Trade will hamstring us while polluters just as big or worse thumb their noses.
"....destroying the global economy...."
That's all our fault also? Maybe in yours and Obama's eyes. There are a lot of players and greed from both the left and right and from many nations involved. You need to read up on the matter and understand it better, but facts never seem to fit into liberal talking points.
"Thanks for referring to the article, but don't you have better things to worry about? Really?"
I don't have much to worry about until the opening bell at 0930am ET when I become one of those free market, capitalist pigs that you and your ilk despise so much.

Of course, none of these guys were "emboldened" in any way while the Bush regime fiddled with one failed Green Zone nation-building experiment after another. They're subdued now, compared to how they ran rampant over our previous non-government. And of course you'll conveniently ignore the respect of Brown, Sarkozy, Merkel, Erdogan, etc. except. . . oh, too bad, the conservative of character and integrity from Italy, Silvio Berlusconi the media censor and bimbo chaser. doesn't like him.
"You can't deny that the world distrusts America, either."

Our brave allies. How many troops does Israel have in Iraq? Afghanistan? All Israel does with their off-the-books nuclear arsenal is make enemies for us without any support.
"....two wars based on lies...."

All you know how to do is guess and sling hateful insults. I will tell you right now that the people in this world you refer to as "retards" in all the fullness of christian compassion have a whole lot to teach you about being human in spite of their mental or psychological challenges.
The truth about 9/11 that you and your Flat Earth Society have yet to see through the ideological blinders is that there were no weapons of mass destruction and Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with the World Trade Center bombing, just the Bush family feud over oil.
And we were all so glad when the Bush regime could report Mission Accomplished and the capture of Usama bin Laden. Oh, wait, that ended up being more lies.
"....a system of gulags...."

Let's pretend we never heard about trashing the right of habeas corpus and 'extraordinary rendition' to torture sites all over the globe, including the Bush regime's great, democratic ally, Syria, and making up constitutional categories out of whole cloth like 'enemy combatants'.
"....destroying the global economy...."

The Republican Congress deregulated credit default swaps in a fit of ideological hysteria and turned AIG loose to sell derivatives for casino wagers they didn't have the money to cover. No, that's not "our" fault. That's my blowhard weasel was 'your' fault.
"Thanks for referring to the article, but don't you have better things to worry about? Really?"

And have you profited from the 50% gain in the financial markets since President Obama took office, while slamming him at every opportunity, you hypocrite?
Wait, maybe it means there never was a G.W. Bush in the White House at all and the liberals just made up the 8-year nightmare of lies, wars, secrecy and torture culminating in global economic collapse.
"Wait, maybe it means there never was a G.W. Bush in the White House at all and the liberals just made up the 8-year nightmare of lies, wars, secrecy and torture culminating in global economic collapse."
And how's Obama doing so far? More lies, more secrecy, still in two wars, and borrowing money like there's no tomorrow! Hasn't closed Gitmo yet. Hasn't created any new jobs. But he did find the time to fly to Copenhagen to lobby for Chicago to get the Olympics. Hadn't met with the general to talk about Afghanistan though. No time between his and Michelle's globe trotting.
If he did cry, wll you admit that 8 years of mishandled war, lies, secrecy, torture, and fiscal irresponsibility brought America's prestige to its all-time nadir? No. Then why should I do your research for you? If you want to remain blissfully ignorant, keep your head shoved in the sand of hate radio. If you want to be informed, get informed. Don't bicker with me about "links".
What planet do you live on? Did you even watch any of the speeches at the U.N.?
"Our brave allies. How many troops does Israel have in Iraq? Afghanistan? All Israel does with their off-the-books nuclear arsenal is make enemies for us without any support."
You know exactly why they have no troops in either country. Israel would gladly send every available asset at their disposal, but given the fragility of relations between the U.S. and some Arab nations that sit on the fence in the gray area, politics and anti-semitism dictates they not be involved. Israel is the only Democracy in the Middle East and for a tiny nation surrounded by those that hate them, they have to kick a lot of ass. I'll bet you and your liberal pals couldn't survive in those conditions. BTW, their off the books nuclear program now has second strike capability as they successfully fired a missle from a submarine. Gotta keep them Arabs on their toes.
"All you know how to do is guess and sling hateful insults."
Not really, but every time I use the word retard it drive you libby's nuts!!! LOL.
"Let's pretend we never heard about trashing the right of habeas corpus and 'extraordinary rendition' to torture sites all over the globe,...."
And Obama has done what to reverse these policies? His DOJ actually argued in favor of it saying the SCOTUS ruling declaring it unconstitutional only applied to Gitmo, not Bagram. Obama has also kept "extraordinary rendition" in his back pocket in case he needs it. Seems like he may have lied to you during the campaign. LOL
"

Bill Clinton signed the legislation deregulating the banking industry in 1999. It isn't a liberal or conservative issue, unless you listen to and believe Kieth Olbermann's bullshit. Credit default swaps were created by JPMorgan in the 90's as a means to hedge against loan risks. They were never regulated, traded on any exchange, or subject to SEC laws. They are basically private contracts traded between two parties, over the phone The problems arose when those sub-prime loans (mortgage backed securities) were packaged and speculated on. When these went bad it rippled to the stock and credit markets. The real criminals in all this were the rating companies that gave these a AAA rating. Even Alan Greenspan was astounded at the formula's they used to rate these securities. In a nutshell, Democrats and Republicans, liberals and conservatives all made and lost money. If you really believe the Dem's are looking out for "Main Street" your a fool. Democrats rake in more than the Republicans in donations from Wall Street, just ask Charles Schumer (D-NY). The Dem's just try to make you believe they are looking out for the average person you every 4 years but it's all bullshit. A perfect example is Bernie Madoff. When he was arrested, the media portrayed him as ones of those right wing fat cats that are the root of the problem with Wall Street. The truth is 88% of Madoff's political contributions went to Democrats. Believe me when I say, The Democrats are not looking out for Main Street. Wall Street is all about money. Always has been and always will be, no matter what your political affiliation.
"And have you profited from the 50% gain in the financial markets since President Obama took office, while slamming him at every opportunity, you hypocrite?"
For starters the economy doesn't turn on a dime, and more than likely what your seeing is the return on the first stimulus last year. But many economists and market experts that are way more versed is this than myself and probably you are saying that it has increased to much to fast and can't sustain itself. One well respected analyst ( I will try to find the report from early 2009 and post) claims that we would see gains through the year and then a tsunami is coming, worse than the last drop. Time will tell. The reports are out there, all you need to do is look. One warning sign was reported about a month ago of how an above average number of CEO's and upper management persons are cashing out their options early again. The last time this was seen was in late 2007 in anticipation of the fall that happened in 2008. One rule to trading is, always follow the smart money. Obama had nothing to do with gains the market has made, just as he has no control over the fall if it happens. The economy needs to stabilize itself. The only hypocrisy that you mention that I see is the Democrats taking money from Wall Street and then then telling the public they're looking out for Main Street.
BTW, I have made money in the 50% gains trading futures. I could care less if the market is up or down. When down I just trade shorts. A lot of your Dem hero's do the same thing.
So, tell me, what's the secret?
Liberals: just one generation away from "You ain't got no legs Llieutenant Dan"
You're nothing but a latrine wall plastered full of neo-con bumper stickers.
"All you know how to do is guess and sling hateful insults...."
That's all you are doing now, not making sense. I'm done with this. There are plenty more liberals here that need to be urinated on. LOL
If that insane ramble of yours ever fell into the hands of a professional, you'd be committed.
administrative position, let alone the SCOTUS.
