Obama's 2nd Term

[Uncle Ted]

Jimmy Carter on Obama...

[...]
On how he would evaluate the Obama presidency so far:
JC: “He’s done the best he could under the circumstances. His major accomplishment was Obamacare, and the implementation of it now is questionable at best.”

Maybe Jimmy is just trying to downplay Obama's accomplishments so he isn't displaced as the greatest president ever.

Last Year President Obama Reportedly Told His Aides That He's 'Really Good At Killing People


This will not go over well for the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize winner.


According to the new book “Double Down,” in which journalists Mark Halperin and John Heilemann chronicle the 2012 presidential election, President Barack Obama told his aides that he’s “really good at killing people” while discussing drone strikes.

Not true... He still hasn't killed the Jonas Brothers:

Obama threatens Jonas Brothers with drone strikes

“The Jonas Brothers are here; they’re out there somewhere. Sasha and Malia are huge fans. But boys, don’t get any ideas. I have two words for you, ‘predator drones.’ You will never see it coming.”

So, now he's joking about killing US citizens? Imagine the reaction in the media had GW joked like that.

You don't think he offered jokes similarly in bad taste?

Perhaps you can show me in that article where Bush was joking about murdering American citizens, Mr. Bush Did It Too. (hashtag dumbass)

How many Americans were killed in Iraq at that point? Over 500 I believe. That seems like quite a few to me, how about you?

Obviously you knew this as well, given your ironic attempt at hashtagging. (By the way, a hashtag can be had by typing "shift 3")

I love these gotcha politics. It is stupid on both sides. Its belittling. One of my favorites is, "can you imagine how they would have treated Bush if he had done that." More often than not, he did do that and there were those on the left that treated him as absurdly as you just did Obama.

"Shift 3"

Doesn't work for me.

EDIT: I don't see any hashtags in your post, either. Are you sure you know how to do it?

Ok, you figured it out. Glad I could help. Have a nice day!!

There is no reason to imagine negative media reactions about W. History is replete with actual ones.

As I requested, please point out when Bush has ever joked about murdering American citizens.

And thanks for the tip. (hashtag ObamaWorshipingDumbass)

In which joke, both in bad taste, did Americans actually die, from the joked about action? (PS, It isn't a hard question.)

I do find it interesting that pointing out the obvious makes me a "worshipper."

The ACLU and CCR believe so... I believe it was the joke about being really good at killing people given the Jonas Brothers are still alive:

ACLU & CCR Lawsuit: American Boy Killed By U.S. Drone Strike

The ACLU and CCR have filed a lawsuit challenging the government's targeted killing of three U.S. citizens in drone strikes far from any armed conflict zone.


In Al-Aulaqi v. Panetta (Al-Awlaki v. Panetta) the groups charge that the U.S. government's killings of U.S. citizens Anwar Al-Aulaqi, Samir Khan, and 16-year-old Abdulrahman Al-Aulaqi in Yemen last year violated the Constitution's fundamental guarantee against the deprivation of life without due process of law.


The killings were part of a broader program of "targeted killing" by the United States outside the context of armed conflict and based on vague legal standards, a closed executive process, and evidence never presented to the courts.

That is a good one. Yes, I agree. The Nobel folks will likely regret their prize to Obama for years to come. A prize awarded on hope of what would happen, on potential and not sufficiently on things actually accomplished.
