I won't post where my political support lies, but this thread is just asking for needless argument. Tread carefully...the internets is not a friendly place for political or theological discussion...emphasis on the "discussion" aspect

Nader had no chance of winning so a vote for Nader would be one less vote for Obama which could have made Sarah Palin vice president. Eddie is way to smart to be apart of that so he did the smart thing and supported the guy who could prevent morons from running the country. Michael Moore and most of Naders supporters did the same.

Paradajzar · February 2012

So U still think Obama is a good choice??...Newertheless I agree this should be blocked or moved to Moving train......sorry....just wanted to hear peoples opinion a bit before closed..

Nope, he's a great choice.

I am going to write in Jeb Bush. At least there will be one sensible vote.

I wonder what country he would blame 9/11 for and go bomb?

After all what???

He's repealed don't ask, don't tell, our troups are out of Iraq, the Dow just hit it's highest level since it tanked in 2008 during Bush's presidency. The truth is that I could go ON AND ON about the things Obama hasn't done that I hoped/thought he would...but the list of things he HAS done is also very impressive and I commend him for it. I think that overall we are on the right track.

And please don't bitch about gas prices...that is a WORLD issue and has to due with things that are out of any one president's control. Buy a fucking bike or walk if you don't like it.

And he may have done it all without one republican vote or any bipartisan support. Imagine what he might have accomplished with an inkling of support from the other party. Even Bush had bipartisan support. Mr. Speaker, where are the jobs? Oh yea, wasn't one of the Big Three running an advertisement of late that claimed, "the SUV is back!"?

Peace.

He's a total socialist. If he gets another term, he's gonna push for universal health care, a guaranteed LIVING wage, double down on environmental protection, and negotiate with our enemies. Oh wait...Richard Nixon did all that. Guess that makes him a red commie. :roll:

CAVSTARR313 · February 2012

Who gives a fuck who Eddie supports?!? Who do YOU support and why?

12345AGNST1 · February 2012

who cares. Call me an anarchist, call me an idiot, I dont care. I personally think whatever president we have, we have them because the government wanted them. For their own agendas. I dont think it makes a shit of a difference what we think.

Hey, I'm not trying to derail the thread but are you really in Phnom Penh? I was there in 1997 and went out to Siem Reap and visited Ankgor Wat. Amazing country and people. Tulong Song was tough as hell but had to go. Felt obligated and man was it an eye opener. Some folks have not a clue. To hear the stories from our tour guides makes me shudder thinking about it. And the juxtaposition of the past with driving out to the airport to fly to Siem Reap at 4:00 a.m. and looking out the bus window to see a silverbacked baboon riding on the trunk of a Mercedes like he belonged there, with the wind whipping through his fur and him all non-chalant like what are you looking at? Crazy but I'd love to go back and I still stay in touch with our tour guide from Ankgor, Maray Seng. He raised crocodiles for export, taught English and was a hired tour guide for the temples of Ankgor. Amazing place.

Peace.

Hey. Yep, Im living in Phnom Penh! Been here since September, and will be here for another year or so, on a Fulbright working on my dissertation. Wish I could have seen in in 1997! Its blowing up huge. I was here in 2005, and just since then it is TOTALLY different. Its been very very interesting living here full time as opposed to just visiting. Some things are great, and sometimes you really just wish you were home, but overall its been a wonderful experience. I tried to get Tim to get the boys to come play a show here, but Im not sure that's gonna happen, seeing they won't even play the South. But if it does, come on down!

Anybody remember when Ed said it stopped raining in Seattle the day Obama was elected?

PJ_Soul · February 2012

Obama has absolutely done the best he can with what he was given and with the opposition he's faced. No one could have done better under such circumstances. Back to the subject, my understanding is that EV doesn't "officially endorse" Obama for whatever reason (too busy? Other causes on the plate right now?), but obviously supports the Democrats, and wants Obama to win. The problem may lie in the fact that Obama's good intentions are rendered almost useless, because his opposition cares more about thwarting anything he tries to do rather than working to improve anything. Maybe Eddie feels like government has become totally ineffective as everyone fights for power rather than anything good for the country.

PS - the US health care system makes me sick. I'm Canadian, and I can assure that a person has NEVER lost their home or gone bankrupt because they got cancer, and NO ONE dies because they can't afford the medical treatment they need. Any healthcare system that can't claim that is an atrosity. I cannot) understand any person who is against universal healthcare, as someone who lives under that system and thanks god for it everyday. Obama stands for that, and as far as I'm concerned, anyone who doesn't values money over human life.

Very wise words

And high gas prices? This continues to make me chuckle .... Petrol is 40% in the states what it is here in the uk. You guys pay 50p equivalent a litre. In fact a touch less. We are. Or hitting £1.45 a litre. In real terms that's over $10 a gallon.

Sure your country is massive ... Your shops are 30 miles apart blah blah but at least your roads tend to move.

from the outside looking in, it always baffles me that America has such a short memory. Obama didn't invent or create the current economic/employment/overseas combat woes you guys are currently experiencing. He inherited it from the previous President and his administration and due to their lack of foresight, Obama's now the bad guy trying to clean it all up and getting the shit for it.

he's the best president and ambassador for your country there's been since possibly Kennedy. Nothing worthwhile is ever easy and I think he's doing his best for you guys but it's like a tough love thing. there's a lot of stuff allowed go to shit by previous administrations. it shouldn't fall on the guy who wants to change it for wanting to make sure it can't happen again. 4 years isn't enough to fix it either.

Is Eddie Still Supporting Obama??
