I for one am tired of the Establishment candidates. Let's have a Trump/West ticket with West debating Obama. That would be great theatre.

Nice start on improving my life by Anent citing the Lifting of Gun Restrictions in National Parks, I was on pins and needles waiting for that to be lifted. Thats 0 for 1.

Bush era tax cuts have been in effect so long, it would of been a tax increase. Hey thanks. I'll give you that one 1 for 2.

New nutrition info? How about stopping E-coli. Thanks again. 1 for 3.

Credit Card Reform. These mofo's are still charging 29% on credit cards. I have 1 credit card with my bank and barely have a balance.

1 for 4.

Weak response.......

The country needs to be saved from this unqualified/incompetent community organizer. He's in way over his head in many arenas. I'd pay to see him debate Trump. A tough successful businessman against our first E.O.E. president that came to power with a staple gun that's never run a lemonade stand.

You forgot Rose's Law

So, you're opposed to less gun restrictions; more nutritional info on the products we consume; and increasing consumer protection on credit card debt.

Got it!

Your killing the Killer Anent....

Great I was looking at a GITMO cruise for my next vacation.

There was only a ban on federal funds being used on Stem Cell Research. Stem Cell research wasn't halted by the ban.

Keep fishing, somethings got to be there.

I never heard of Rose's Law. I just looked it up. Wonderful, I'm touched.

I wish the prez would stop coddling to illegals. He should be arrested for the speech last week about not caring how you got here, even crossing the Rio Grande.

So,

You're in favor of our government tell us where we can/cannot go; and enjoy mocking laws designed for the handicapped.

Got it!

-perhaps you missed the headlines last week announcing record lows in illegals crossing the border?

Killer I agree with you.

Are we any better 2 1/2 years into this failure of a presidency?
Incomes and savings are down. Jobs are fewer and much more difficult to obtain good positions. Extremely high gas prices and the resulting inflation.

Our economy is getting worse not better......Obama is Jimmy Carter all over again, but on STEROIDS and much more disasterous!!

But onto thread topic, TRUMP is doing an EXCELLENT job of attacking the POTUS. Birther B.S., weak economy, high gas prices,inconsistent foreign policy,..... Trump is really starting to severely weaken Obama and expose him as the real incompetent fraud that he really is. The more publicity for TRUMP, the better for the GOP and for a REAL(new) LEADER winning the presidency!!

Personally, I think our next POTUS is lurking out there somewhere waiting to arise to the occcasion when it's the best oppurtunity to pounce on all the extremely WEAK alternatives

Obama's never done half the charity work that Carter has. No comparison between the two. Carter's an actual liberal.

Were we any better off 2 1/2 years into Bush's Presidency?

Trump is only helping Obama - hate to break it to ya.

Despite 9/11, I was much much better off in 2003 and 2004.

As for Obama, you're right , he couldn't hold Peanut Jimmy's jock!!

OK, fair enough. Was Bush responsible for what was better in your life back in 2003 and 2004?

The OVERALL economy was vastly much better. There is just a real fear and air of uncertainty directly correlated with the current POTUS. He is just all over the map and extremely inconsistent. Lukewarm indecisive leadership is easily identified.

I feel TRUMP is just as crooked as everybody else. That's why we need a fresh new face who doesn't have that accompanying D.C. stench. This country needs somebody to change that enviroment and not let that town run the "show" ie....(lobbyists, big $$ backers, ole veteran D.C. politicians.......), but they have to be likable and smart enough to handle the most important position at the most critical time (which is debatable) for this great Republic.

thanks for your comments and reply. I agree with most of what you have to say. One thing's for sure, Trump is no outsider. He won't change a thing except for perhaps making bad hair styles fashionable!

One last thing, yes, the overall economy was much better in 2003 and 2004. But did it have anything to do with Bush being President, in your opinion? One thing I do remember is that that's when gas prices started to soar. Did I blame that on Bush? No, not really. Most of the country did, but that's not really how things work, imv.

thanks again.

Then the kicker....he says he is very liquid and has very little DEBT ....

God damnit!! How the FUCK are you worth over 2 billion (apparently much in cash etc) and you still OWE people money.

Our country in a nutshell. He has no plan. He wants publicity for free. Probably gonna gave another reality show or some other shit. Why cant we find a smart, down to earth US citizen to run this country? Is it really that impossble?

you dont understand 2 concepts.

1) his projects/businesses are independent entities

2) sometimes its good to have debt. my bro-in-laws boss (a big time lawyer) just bought a big beach house, his accountant told him to only pay ~80% of it, instead of 100% of it cash, bc of the tax breaks he would get.
