Roll back the clock 8 years and all your comments would be closer to reality.

Close doors by Bush. How open is Obama? Please stop lying to and misinforming those who really do not know keep up with current events.

If you want clean air then go nuclear! But those on the left have lied with more misinformation to those who do not keep up with current events and science and have not allowed a nuclear facility to be built since the 1970’s. Hey that is probably before you were born! You must grow up soon–emotionally! Then you will rid yourself of that pitiful socialist dream

If other countries do not follow your ignorant ideology then you can not have clean air by making only America green. Of course a reasonable person can see this–that leaves you group out.

However, France and some other countries already use nuclear power–I read 40%.

Removing American from the Kyoto Protocol kept from punishing American business because only in American are there wacho liberals who would force American business to conform to those standards through the courts. The other countries put their business first where you wacho liberals hate America for some odd ideological reasons. You lie to the public to form your kind of government.

We all remember him right?

The most remarkable aspect of the presidency of George W. Bush is the sheer volume of havoc it has been able to wreak upon the country and the world in such a short period.

His election was dubious and his first 100 days unremarkable. His administration’s response to the events of September 11th, 2001 was to summarily squandered the diplomatic favor of the international community. He also misled the nation when he broke his campaign pledge to be a uniter and not a divider.

His disastrous economic policies catapulted the national debt to unforeseen and unfathomable levels. He was the first president since Herbert Hoover to preside over a net loss of jobs. His administration has underfunded its own education act by $9.4 billion, while continuing to starve the safety regulatory agencies. Corporate crime and corruption are rampant and yet he reduced the budgets for agencies that would enforce the laws protecting consumers and shareholders. After promising to clean up Wall Street. The Bush White House turned a $236 billion surplus in 2001 into a $422 billion deficit (in four years!) and spent the Social Security surplus he promised to protect in 2000.

His cabinet was a loose amalgamation of neoconservative warmongers who steered us into an unconstitutional $500 billion, and growing, war and occupation on a platform of deceptions and fabrications. The blood of over 4,300 American soldiers and thousands upon thousands of civilian Iraqis is on the Bush administration’s hands.

Bush’s energy policy was written behind closed doors by the very corporate interests who stood in position to benefit from its $23 billion-plus in corporate tax breaks. VP Cheney refused to answer any questions regarding his clandestine activities and support of corporate welfare.

Bush supported a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriages and tried at every turn to propose some of the most ideologically bent judicial appointees in recent memory; yet the president declaims “activist judges.”

The president gave free reign to Attorney General John Ashcroft, poster boy for the anti-civil liberties Patriot Act. Thousands of innocent people were rounded up after 9/11 and mistreated in prison—arrested in many cases without charges and incarcerated without lawyers. Many were held in inhumane conditions. None of these hundreds of detainees were found to have links to terrorism.

Bush’s idea of environmental stewardship was a joke. His original EPA administrator, former New Jersey Governor Christine Todd Whitman, resigned after two years of frustration with the White House, for which she inevitably took heat from environmentalists while President Bush pulled the strings. Hundreds of millions of acres of public land are unprotected thanks to the Bush administration; the president reneged on his 2000 campaign pledge to control the carbon dioxide emissions that contribute so greatly to global warming, and the Environmental Protection Agency suffered a budget cut of $600 million dollars in fiscal year 2005 alone. He also effectively removed protection of some of the nation’s last pristine areas by undoing the Roadless Rule. The influence of the anti-environmental corporate lobby on the Bush administration is palpable. One of his first acts as President was to remove the US from the Kyoto Protocol, which reduces polluting emissions worldwide. His “Clean Air Act” made it easier, not harder, for power plants to increase deadly emissions.

Bush’s special counsel has been implicated in the creation of an intricate network of legal pretexts justifying torture, in direct violation of Geneva Conventions, the United Nations charter, and our own federal law.

All this, and George W. Bush—the no-fault President—has been unwilling to admitting to a single mistake while in office; and he ran as the responsibility President in 2000!

Oh then there’s that photo of Georgia giving a Saudi kiss…

With Deco leaving we need a quality midfielder, Though Deco wasn’t that effective in one season–injuries and Scolari leaving, he didn’t get the playing time he wanted. The reports I read about Ribery says it’s Madrid or nothing. Real Madrid is trying to do the “Galacticos” part dos.

He lives in Marietta you know. Just haunt the closest Whole Foods market…I know he shops there, it’s been on his show several times!

More likely a poor opinion of Obama. The attitude drawn for HIM is what I find most offensive. It’s too much “Uncle Tom”ish for me to find amusing.
