Basically, I think we can all be appreciative of the military for doing good work - no matter who is President.

Good for you Buggy. That was the premise of this post; to deride the former President. Sometimes people forget what they were discussing in the first place. Glad you're keeping things real.

I'm just curious. Where did all of these liberals come from? I thought TV was a bastion of conservatism.

Not everyone on this forum lives in the Villages. But, for those that do, they come from all over the U.S. Even the "blue staters" know a good thing when they see it.

I still say that Hussein Obama will take credit for policies the President Bush in place and in the same breath blame Bush for policies he put in place. I think Obama would not admit to anything he did wrong. I think Barry O. is a person with little or no character.

Villagegolfer,
You didn't answer my post. Just wanted to see if you're consistant or not.

I said that if Obama wants to credit Bush for his this lousy economy , he should be consistent and credit Bush for the military victories. If Obama was a real man he would take responsibility for his policies that contributed to this Depression, then people might take him serious for claiming military victories. Wasn't most of the military policies in place when he took office?

Not a real man?...oh yes, that's right....he's a black man.

Wow.

Hard to debate this... You're right, he's black.

Please explain why this has any relevance to anything ???

Just saying... I don't get it

Villagegolfer,
So what you're saying Obama should take responsibility for the great recession, give credit for any success in the war against terror to Bush?

How about Obama taking the blame for the hurricane that is currently hitting the east coast? How about global warming? Opps, there is no such thing as global warming. My bad!

If he were "a real man" as VillageGolfer classified it, he would accept his huge share of culpability in the continuing economic decline in spite of his attempts to resuscitate with ill advised "stimulus", and he would also give credit where credit is due in regard to his utilizing and expanding the protocols of Pres. Bush's war on terror; which he campaigned strongly against as a presidential candidate.

CMANN, I am glad to see you are remembering some of my phrases like "bastion of conservatives". Where did I come from, you ask? I lived in Silver Spring, Maryland, all my adult life and worked for 36 years at the Department of Veterans Affairs Central Office in Washington DC. Had a great career helping US veterans and the employees who serve them.

As for keeping it real on this forum, I just want to give appropriate credit where it is due. In the case of taking out the #2 terrorist, the credit goes to the military - not to a President. Not trying to be liberal on this posting. Not trying to be conservative on this posting. Just trying to be honest.

i was just editorializing on the fact that so many people don't like obama and I believe the basis is race....as we all sadly know that in the era of slavery black males were considered less than "men".
I probably should not have posted that at all...perhaps way too damning and presumptious. My apologies.

Let's begin by stating it took a hurricane directed at New England to get Obama to leave Martha's Vineyard and his vacation. But then it is not pleasant to play golf in the wind and rain..tends to raise the golf scores.

Secondly hrricanes have been around for a very long time tracking the same path up the eastern seaboard. To imply that hurricanes are created by global warming is like saying Neptune rules the seas.

Third I will give Obama credit for not dismantling many of Bush's Admin policies concerning dealing with and hunting down terrorist; despite the fact that he did so very reluctantly.

Fourth the real credit goes to the men and women whom have dedicated their lives in this pursuit, placing themselves in harms way daily.

Fifth I am saddened that some people still hang on to the belief that an unfavorable opinion of Obama has to do with his race rather than his idealogy.

Sixth political debate is healthy as long as we remember that at the end of the debate we remain friends

Well, we all know that President Bush and Vice President Cheney used their Hurricane Machine to create Katrina because they didn't like black people.
