It's not what you said, it was the way you said it by posting those stupid, unnecessary 3rd grade comments simply because I have a different opinion than you do. Grow up. I said that he is all talk and no action because he's not doing anything that hasn't been done or attempted before. If he wants to do the right thing, he can start by getting us out of a war/ideal that has no end, like he said he was going to do. I'm still waiting.

Fix the brackets, make sure there's only one quote bracket, and when you quoted my post I had put an extra bracket on purpose that needed removal.

I was wondering why only part of the post looked right. Good one, good one.

Anything to make these uptight threads lighthearted.

Did Angel really respond to whether Obama walks on water? LOL.

American combat troops are due to pull out of Iraq by September, ahead of a complete military withdrawal at the end of 2011, and the seating of a new government in Baghdad is key to Washington's exit strategy.

This is in the works. I've seen you post many times that we aren't doing this, but we are. I'm confused. This exit strategy was announced last year. It is happening, it has started already.

And you believe this? As long as we've established a puppet government over there (that's not going to work), we'll still have military there. And as long as we have bases there, we're still spending big money there that could be spent on education here. At this point, I don't believe anything that our government says.

We have military in many, many countries. That's different than spending the $10B a month that Bush was spending on the war in Iraq.

So what you're really saying is that you aren't going to vote for anybody because even if they do what they say were going to do, you won't believe them anyway? So this isn't just about Obama?

No, that's not what I'm saying. I said I wasn't going to vote for Obama, I didn't say I wasn't going to vote for anyone. The POTUS doesn't make up our whole government, Dee.

eta: and I know we have military in other countries, but it's the Middle East where the problem is and will continue.

That was the statement I used to conclude that you won't vote for anybody.

The Middle East is a hotbed of unrest. I don't anticipate that changing any time soon and as long as we're dependent on foreign oil, we have to protect some of our interests there. We can't afford not to, to some extent.

I just find it strange that you're so angry with the guy who is trying to fix this mess that the last POTUS got us into and I really don't understand why because he is doing what he said he would do.. health care reform, pulling out of Iraq, etc. Is it just not happening fast enough for you?

Thus my earlier comment about the magic wand. A lot of people don't realize just how limited the power of the United States President is. Any far reaching change will take a long time.

I knew what you were referring to, but I didn't say I wasn't going to vote for anyone.

No, it's just that we're spending money in so many other parts of the world, and not tending to our own backyard. We owe so much money, our economy is screwed up etc. And this is isn't all Bush's fault. This all started before him. He just made it worse. And the Middle East has been doing this since forever. What makes anyone think the US can go in and change things over there?

We just have two different opinions, Dee.

Well, yes and no. Yes, it was announced last year, but Obama committed an extra ~30,000 troops to Afghanistan (I know, not Iraq, but still viewed as the same war by many) at the end of last year and says that after 18 months, they will start to come home. Perhaps I'm being a bit too nitpicky...

And you're right, we barely own ourselves anymore. My house is mortgaged. My car is leased. I wonder when I will have to spend 50 cents per day just to get into my closet in order to wear my clothes for the day, the money paying for cell phones for the homeless or something. I'll have to haggle with someone holding toilet paper that I BOUGHT, and end up paying an arranged price-per-square in order to fund their salary. Or something equally as ridiculous.
