In today's dangerous world, we need a president with experience, leadership and courage. Unfortunately, you have shown us little of those traits.
Your childhood and younger years denied you the opportunity to grow up as an American man, and that is no fault of your own.

I suppose this could apply to George Bush too.
ReplyDeleteDon't take this the wrong way, I am not a big fan of Obama but much you have said here can be applied to our last President as well GHW Bush as well as Clinton and most likely if you really looked more than one past President who fits this bill. While I agree we have issues in the country, snipping and attacking on issues that well can apply to more than one president, person etc and making it seem like it only apllies to him is wrong. Debates such as this would not hold up ginst a seasoned historian, porlitcal fixture or a good tv reported for that matter. Fox would be about the only outlet and MSNBC would use it for the other extreme.
