More on Trump

[libby]

I hope I'm wrong Hank; I really do.  I want him to succeed and make the country better.  But what I'm seeing out of him and his appointees so far scares the shit out of me. 

I'm the kind of person who has always thought there's some good in everyone, but Trump? Maybe there is, at least for his children, but otherwise? I don't think he is capable of feeling anything remotely like empathy. He is obviously very intelligent and devious and unpredictable, and I agree absolutely with part of what you wrote: "... what I'm seeing out of him and his appointees so far scares the shit out of me."

...and now Ben Carson for Housing and Urban Development. 

I imagine he knows what needs done in that aspect 'cause he was raised in Detroit public housing from what I understand so it isn't like he's unfamiliar with the needs of poor people and what it's like to live under those conditions. Having experienced those conditions himself should give him the insight to do what needs done unlike someone who has never experienced it.

Nah.  Carson is an uncle tom.  He's proven that through his life and his campaign for president.

That's absolute bullshit and you're a liar.   

Nope, I am not...and it is NOT Bullshit....wrong on both accounts.  You are really struggling lately.  But, lets be clear.  I am NOT lying nor is it bullshit.

The bottom line, is I want this country to become strong economically once again.  I want to see a boom, similar as to what we got experience during the Reagan/Clinton years....Obama, IMO, ended up failing in this dept.
I want to see leadership once again........Obama ended up failing in this dept (IMO)....
I want to see leadership

LMFAO!  Struggling how?  It should be easy enough to prove me wrong.  Show us the post in which you clearly said you wanted Obama to succeed and I'll eat my words.  Unless and until you do, I stand by my statement that that's bullshit and you're a liar.

The bottom line, is I want this country to become strong economically once again.

And what does that look like?  High corporate profits?  Record stock market?  Low unemployment?  Annual federal budget deficit a third of what it was 8 years ago?

I want to see a boom, similar as to what we got experience during the Reagan/Clinton years.

You must have been high on crack during the 80's if you think this country experienced an economic boon (not boom  ) during Reagan's administration.

Obama, IMO, ended up failing in this dept.

Yes, those thing I mentioned before are terrible.   

I want to see white leadership once again........Obama ended up failing in this dept (IMO)....

I went ahead and fixed this to say what you really mean.

Like the ones who's mission was to annaliate President Bush?


Listen, Bo...I honestly HOPE and PRAY, that Obama makes a democrat out of me....I'm getting TOO old, and things are too important to play politics.....I do NOT agree with his methodology of many issues, but, I will support the POTUS...and if he is wrong, then he will and should be called out on them....if he is right, then God Bless him and I will be ready to cast a vote for him in 2012....

Yo EX, ahem!

Yo EX, ahem!

Mmmm...words are good!

Now clarify what you meant by if he's wrong or if he's right because I never once saw you support anything he did.

That's what I figure........backing out of your words.

You have NO CLUE if I didn't support him or not.  I know I didn't go out and riot and set shit on fire.

I Bullshit on here, just to keep you frothing....I never HATED the man, just didn't agree with him on his leadership.

I also made that statement after he was elected........I was eager for "HOPE & CHANGE". Which he failed at.

[Exterminator]

That's what I figure........backing out of your words.

I said I'd eat my words and followed with, "mmmm...words are good."  Is there something about that that's hard for you to understand?  They are all monosyllabic words so I'm not sure I could make it any simpler.   

I never HATED the man, just didn't agree with him on his leadership.

Disagreed with what, specifically?

[Henry Hawk]

Disagreed with what, specifically?

Healthcare...
The way he handled the Middle East (Iran & Syria) and Terrorism...
His Executive Orders...
His leadership, which I think he contributed to a divided nation and spurred on racial tensions.

You said you disagreed with him in your post from November 6, 2008.  At that time, none of these things had occurred.  Again I ask, with what did you disagree when you made that statement, specifically?

He was not raised in public housing.

The word monosyllabic is not monosyllabic.  You sure he knows what you mean?

What boom in Reagan and Clinton years?  Clinton removed Glass-Steagall Act which allowed the banks and investors to merge, causing the collapse of the economy.  Reagan began outsourcing jobs.
