I can't tell where the populist politician ends and the real man begins. And yes, I realize all politicians are like this to a large extent, but Obama moreso than others seems to never drift off script.

Repugnant Abomination · 12-09-2011, 02:25 PM

Really? From what I've read the biggest thing Obama has going for him is authenticity and likability. Moments like this don't seem rehearsed or awkward to me at all.

Now watch this drive!

DJ FC · 12-09-2011, 02:33 PM

Have to agree with Repug on this one. It could be really, really elaborate, of course, but things like his difficulty giving up smoking, for example, make him seam very real.

Saint DH · 12-09-2011, 02:38 PM

That's really your only problem with Obama? I'd have to say that's relatively low on the list of my complaints.

Romney is a great man. His accomplishments are truly incredible. I would like to see him win the Republican nomination.

Political positions of Mitt Romney - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I can't decide if having a Mormon president would be good because it's one step closer to having an atheist president, or if it's bad because it's several times more retarded than Christianity.

Is there a tl;dr of positions available somewhere? Preferably with large graphical checkmarks and x's to signify stances.

Out of curiosity, what do you find more retarded about Mormons over other religions and how do you think they're more atheist?

Mitt Romney's health care plan is very similar to Obama's, no?

Saint DH · 12-09-2011, 04:53 PM

Yeah, he has some kind of universal health care plan that he signed into force in Massachusetts. Nevertheless, he did this while he also eliminated a $3 billion budget deficit in the state.

He has a history of discipline and success. He was elected CEO of a company in financial crisis and within about a year he had turned the company into a profitable one. He founded a private equity firm that would later become one of the largest and most profitable of such firms in the nation. He organized the 2002 Winter Olympic Games, and turned the struggling games into a financial success. If I'm not mistaken, that was one of the last profitable Olympic Games in recent history. Last but certainly not least, he was elected governor of Massachusetts, the most liberal state in the nation, as a Republican, and he's been successful there.

Judging by the way you're seemingly twisting my words, did the LDS get to you? Do we have a Mormon problem on our hands we need to have a talk about, Vaga? We have a thread for that, if that's the case. Be careful, though -- I already have a semi.

Suffice it to say, I said I find Mormonism to be more retarded than Christianity , not "other religions". I also never said they were more atheist. They simply aren't Christian.

"Almost all of the presidents can be characterized as Christian, at least by formal membership. Some were Unitarian or unaffiliated with a specific religious body. Some are thought to have been deists, or irreligious. No president thus far has been an Atheist, a Jew, a Buddhist, a Muslim, a Hindu, a Sikh or an adherent of any other specifically non-Christian religion."

Mormons aren't Christians?

First of all, he was in the position to do the things he did because he had a rich, famous daddy. I know that doesn't negate his accomplishments, but it's worth mentioning, in case anyone was thinking of throwing out the whole self made man thing. Secondly, while he's had a lot of business accomplishments, that hardly qualifies him as a great man worthy of you deep throating his balls. Lastly, and most importantly, the guy is a pandering political weasel that makes most of our other pandering weasels of politicians look positively earnest and sincere; the reason he was elected as governor in a democratic state is because the guy had democratic policies.

Don't be such a fucking tool.

Meh. How much credence can you give any religion with so many sects, and how much do you have to add on to that religion before it becomes almost entirely separate? Islam is an Abrahamic offshoot too.

Yeah, having a rich family is what makes you capable of taking entities in financial crisis and making them successful (10). Our country is in financial shambles. Obama sure as shit isn't helping anything. We need a leader who knows wtf they're doing. Maybe his business accomplishments don't meant shit to you (they do to me), but surely his accomplishments as governor hold some weight.

Romney may have some democratic policies, but his political rhetoric is that of conservatism. That's why he runs on the fucking Republican ticket. That's why he eliminated $3 billion of government spending in Massachusetts.

Typical liberal fag. I state facts and you give me subjective bullshit in return. I bet the man is far more honorable than you'll ever be. Every Mormon I've ever known holds themselves to a very strict moral code.

No, I was legitimately curious. Any Twisting of words was unintentional.

LOL!

Having a rich family doesn't make you capable of turning a financial crisis around - them sending you to Harvard business school probably helps, though. Again, not taking away from his abilities, just trying to balance your hero worship.

The country went into the financial crisis during Bush's presidency. Obama didn't do enough to combat it, but I do believe he helped us avoid a depression. As of now, the private sector has added millions of jobs while the public sector has shed hundreds of thousands - even so, unemployment is down to 8.7%, which, while not great, is an improvement; we're going in the right direction. It's unfortunate that the loyal opposition doesn't ever acknowledge that while yes, this is a problem of the American economy, it's also a world economy issue; globalization is here, and economies the world over are not intertwined. As far as the national debt is concerned, Obama's plans to cut trillions from it are far more ambitious than the Republican's (who are just out to obstruct at this point in the hope of getting their nominee elected).

This is funny: "Romney may have some democratic policies, but his political rhetoric is that of conservatism." Yeah, you're right - he has (had) democratic policies, but his rhetoric is conservative. Funny how that works, huh? That's pretty much the reason the right wing doesn't want the guy; his rhetoric doesn't match his record. Anyone but Romney, amirite?!

Don't overgeneralize, jackass. While I hold many liberal positions I'm not what I can only imagine is your hyperbolic, stereotypical liberal nightmare. It's people like you who are so hyper-partisan that drown out moderate voices on both sides.

I was part of the LDS church until I was about 14. I've know a lot of Mormons in my life and in my experience, for what ever that's worth, the strict moral code that they live by is completely superficial. For example Utah is #1 in online porn subscriptions.

f3lix · 12-09-2011, 10:33 PM

That just proves Mormons are dumb enough to pay for porn.

Obama isn't doing shit because he can't. Checks and balances are ACTUALLY BEING USED by the Republican party to skullfuck his presidency into oblivion. At this point, Obama could propose a bill that said "Jesus was a nice man" and the Republicans would oppose it citing his liberal agenda.

This is ridiculous and completely untrue. For the first two years Obama was in office he had a democratic house and senate. He was able to pass through anything and everything he wanted.

Obviously this isn't true because he didn't get everything he wanted. Do you understand how Congress works? Do you know what a filibuster is?
