    Hmmm, who is/was a better leader? Bush/Obama, Bush/Obama.... gosh, I just don't know. Even thinking about is is over-taxing my brain. Bush/Obama... Bush/Obama...

    ...Wait! I think I got it! :-D


    +1 this cant be overstated! Bush was a figurehead for the Cheney/Rove/Rumsfeld gang. Reagan, please! He was a figurehead too and led us down the path we are on. Get real... The old joke about putting peanut butter on his gums in the later years to make him move his lips like mr ed. Why do the repub powers choose a stooge who cant communicate? Cuz lots of 'mericans are dumb and they want a relatable president lol

    They all are the problem.This blame back and forth is the underlying issue.Please don't say different.Dems and republicans are the ones holding us back.

    I don't care wether your a Dem or.

    +1!
    but to say obma bad foreign policy is head in the sand! the whole world despised bush, obama sucks but better.
    Bush had his issues for sure.But in his first term I felt Colin Powell,was a real,assest.Cant say the rest of his Admin was,just saying.
    I still am watching and waiting for this admins to qoute Van Wilder "dare to be great" foreign policy moment.Was getting Osama the frosting on the cake or is something special still to come.He has time to try to really leave his mark.
    how will he leave his mark when the fucking republicans are going to impeach him? they are going to make him spend his time defending himself in court so he has less time to try to lead and to try to accomplish everything.

    is it really that hard for everyone to see the republican playbook and what is going on right now?? open up your eyes and demand better!!!
    Thats all white noise,just like when Ted Cruz opens his trap.Obama COULD be a great Leader,he just has not done so yet.The law suit impeachment games is nonsense.Next election cycle will take care of a lot of that.All these clowns need to remember who they work for.I demand Better from both sides.This shit stinks from the right and the left.None of the partisans look good here,non of them.
    oh you know it is bullshit when you say obama COULD be a great leader. the guy is scared because everything he does, republicans say he is trampling the constitution and breaking the law. even when he acts on bills that REPUBLICANS SUPPORTED AND VOTED FOR!! it is like "alright we passed this bill, oh wait, obama supports it? i withdraw my support of it!!!"

    please do not pretend that it is otherwise. this is how it is, and it is how our system works.

    nothing passes in the senate because you now have to have 60 votes for anything to move to the floor for debate. the dems routinely get 55, 56, 58 votes on something, with votes like 57-42, and nothing can move forward. you can not blame obama for that.

    by the way, the link you shared is utter bullshit.

    1, obama did not pull troops out early. he adhered to the status of forces agreement that troops will be out by 2012 signed by fucking bush!!!! obama tried to stay there longer and al maliki said we had to go.

    2. the people obama traded for bowe bergdahl were people that republicans agreed with releasing before they were released. once they got released, they changed their minds and opposed it.

    you know what? every single one of the claims made by the person in the article have been throughly debunked, and have been discussed in other threads on here. i am not going to waste any more time posting in this thread.

    you may think it's utter bullshit but it dose raise some questions....settle down amigo nobody's telling you to change your opinion, I watched the video and wondered what train members thought about the current state of this countries leadership and you opinion is dully noted.

    Obama lied to get health care passed. Bush lied to get a war passed. Clinton lied about an affair. The legacy of the last 3 presidents are all based on lies. And your asking about leadership? The "leadership" in politics in this country is a joke.

    Think one of the reasons stock market didn't take nose dive after the recent world events is there isn't a fear that the US will over react. So when you look at your 401 and smile, thank our current foreign policy.

    Look at what those three lies were about. One of these things just doesn't belong here, one if these things just isn't the same...

    That aside, you are correct. The political and governmental leadership in this country is a joke.

    If he grants amnesty for 5 million I would finally support his impeachment. This is a gross abuse of executive orders. We need to reign in presidential power.

    I lost a lot of respect for Obama after the first debt ceiling issue. He had both parties go to a room to figure it out. They came back with no solution. He should've told them 'do not come out of that room until you have a solution'.
