I still don't get why dislikes Obama soo much ltw[/quote]
1) nice post there. where did I say I didn't like him in this ?
You have not said you dislike him in this, just another few sly little digs in at Obama, any possible opportunity you have to have a little dig you do. Which is fair enough, if you don't particularily like him then fine, all I did was ask a question.
If you want to get sensitive about it then go for it.
I'll do Red for Liverpool. I have digs at most leaders, including my own. Most of them, even ones I respect and who have led the past 'decade', have been very poor
2) Though themn & brendan (they are only separated by their lucas feelings) likes to paint me a certain way (it's funny to read but rather off), I feel about Obama like I do/did about Bush I, Clinton, Bush II etc. I'm sure you get the point ...
So the point is that you dislike all American presidents, I know we have had conversations about this before but you are very vague about this so all I did was post my musings.
It has nothing to do with them being 'American', it has to do with idiotic policies - in general - that I think do more harm than good. And unfortunately, being a super power, that's part of the territory which is why I don't fault 'em for it
3) Squigs made a point about 'Politician X bleating on about change and doing nothing,' so I compared it to Obama ... Nothing wrong there, I mean he did win a much deserved Nobel but he's done little for change (bar some great speeches and the health care reform, which is still on shaky grounds it seems) - and that's the 'tune' I hear from most of my friends (Intellectuals, non-'ruling class', liberals and generally decent people) in the States who voted for him .
And I agree with this.
**In Borat voice** high five
4) It is rather nice however to see Asim, Brendan and Themn so happy together at least we knows what unifies them ....... hmmmmmm ............. hmmmmmm ...........

What unifies us? that's a fucked up comment and a little paranoia on your part LTW and your reply to Brendan is bottling it and backtracking. What we all hate Israel/Jews? Like my views are anything like Brendans outspoken nature in this.

Chill out dude, I meant OBAMA. I'm not back tracking on anything - I think I know why each poster likes Obama. All assumed I have an issue with Obama because of his stance on Israel, which is not true. Do I have an issue with how Obama is handling Israel? I guess, but I cannot really fault him - it's his job to do what's best for his country - internally and internationally, and that's the path he has chosen. I hope he succeeds if it is to bring peace but I'm highly skeptical ... as I'm sure you are. All 3 of you painted my dislike for what Obama stands for based on my country of residence - hence that united you. Perhaps the wrong word, but that was the honest reason for my comment
