		<description>&quot;It is the general way that Obama is treated. A perfect example was the original post.&quot;

Fuck off Seamen.  It IS the general way Obama is treated, and a perfect example WAS the original post.  Except the &quot;little bitch&quot; was Punte and tightwad cunts like yourself.

Everyone, even (and perhaps especially) Presidents, needs a little distraction in their life.  Obama likes college basketball.  So what?  Bush liked baseball.  We&#039;re not running against Bush--we&#039;re running against the cunty double standard from a-holes like yourself.  No liberal cried foul when Bush threw out baseball&#039;s first pitch year after year.  But the lead story on Drudge right now is Coach K whining about Obama&#039;s brackets.

We&#039;re not saying Obama is God.  What we&#039;re saying is that Punte, you, and Coach K are a bunch of goddman whiney cunts.

Get it?</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;every little bitch liberal came out of the wood work to criticize him like he is some sort of god and the answer to everything.&lt;/i&gt;

It wasn&#039;t that he was some sort of god.  It was that criticizing the president for filling out a March Madness bracket -- which takes what, three minutes? -- and then saying it was &quot;the biggest waste of time for a president ever&quot; was just pathetic.

And sorry, but Bush &lt;i&gt;did&lt;/i&gt; fuck everything up.  It may hurt your feelings to point out these pesky facts, but that&#039;s the way it is.  You act like the economy was humming along fine until January 20th, like Obama was the one who pushed through the first bailout of AIG and the rest.

And don&#039;t lecture me on the dangers of blaming the past president.  Bush and company blamed 9/11 on the Clinton administration, even though that happened eight months into their watch.

Listen, it&#039;s clearly pointless arguing with you so this little bitch liberal is done.  Go listen to Glen Beck or Rush Limbaugh with the other 24% of the country that agrees with you.  

The rest of us will be sitting here watching the Republican Party wither and die, and trying to once again clean up after a conservative clusterfuck.</description>

When punte dared make a snarky comment, every little bitch liberal came out of the wood work to criticize him like he is some sort of god and the answer to everything. On the other hand, you whiners are still blaming Bush for everything. You won the fucking election, how are you still running against Bush? That shit won&#039;t work for too much longer.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;just as Obama isn’t the savior for everything and it has always been ridiculous to think he would be.&lt;/i&gt;

It is ridiculous to think Obama is the savior.  Could you do me a favor and find a single liberal here who has actually suggested he is?</description>

		<description>Sure, FDR should be judged by the longterm effects of what he did.  

He saved capitalism and set the stage for the postwar era, when America underwent the single greatest expansion of its economy in its entire history.  He basically created the middle class, built most of this country&#039;s vital infrastructure, made America a military superpower, pulled the country out of the Depression and beat the Axis Powers.  Wow, what an incompetent.

And yeah, internment was a horrible mistake.  But that black mark doesn&#039;t change the fact that he -- like so many other Democratic presidents -- came to power after a Republican fucked things up royally and made the country much stronger and much safer.</description>

		<description>Otto, you have points, obviously. Perhaps my wording of worthless was a bit much, but I was basing my opinions on more of the Bacon point of view. A lot of his ideas have reverberated in our society in good ways and also in bad ways. I just hate how leftists always champion FDR when he wasn&#039;t always what he was cracked up to be, just as Obama isn&#039;t the savior for everything and it has always been ridiculous to think he would be.</description>

		<description>Judging FDR presents an interesting case: should he be judged based upon what he did in office, or the long-lasting effect of what he did?  Some of his alphabet programs worked, some didn&#039;t, and ultimately WWII put a lot of people back to work and ended the Great Depression and the mini depression that followed.  While Otto correctly points the entitlement finger at LBJ and his Great Society programs, it was FDR who introduced the concept that the federal government was there to act as the nanny of the populace which concept has created the entitlement state that now hangs around our collective necks like an anchor.

If you really want an example of what FDR did that was so bad, I&#039;d have to say rounding up and imprisoning American citizens in concentration camps based upon their nationality is the most heinous thing ever done by a President.  But hey - bygones!</description>

		<description>Ah, what the hell, I&#039;ll take the low-hanging fruit.

FDR was worthless?  Exactly how?  In his first term, he managed to lower unemployment from 23% to 10%.  The nation&#039;s GDP grew by an average of 9% a year, and the Dow Jones more than quadrupled in value.  There&#039;s a reason he was re-elected in a landslide in 1936 -- he had done a tremendous job.

And why exactly is infrastructure spending worse than defense spending?  The New Deal built a shitload of massive developments -- 10 percent of all new roads in America, 35 percent of all new hospitals, 70 percent of all new schools. They created water-supply and flood-control systems, sewers, ports and bridges. They built the Lincoln Tunnel, the Triborough Bridge and Boulder Dam.  And guess what?  The WPA was responsible for funding the creation of the USS Yorktown and USS Enterprise too. 

What entitlement programs did he create that have created &quot;entire segments of our population that have little or no will to take care of their selves&quot;?  Most of the welfare state stuff that conservatives hate -- food stamps, AFDC expansions, etc. -- were creations of Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon.  What did FDR do that was so bad?  

Are you talking about Social Security?  Are you mad that those 70-year-old retirees are living off their SSA contributions?  Or are you mad about the FHA funding that expanded the middle class in this country, broadening the percentage of people who owned their own homes from 40% to 68% in the postwar era?  Do you worry about the hordes of undeserving suburbanites?
Or are you mad about the Veterans Administration and the GI Bill of Rights which gave all those shiftless, really undeserving veterans a break on housing and college education? 

Yes, FDR was just worthless.  Everyone hated him.  That&#039;s why he was elected president four times.</description>

		<description>youaretigerbait: are you an LSU fan? I really hope you are. As far as building bombs, you are very naive when it comes to what defense means. But I guess in the dumbed down sense of defense you could be partially right. Really I mean why not commit to spending money on things that we know will help the economy by providing Americans jobs that will help our country. Defense contractors employs hundreds of thousands of americans and those sorts of jobs are unlikely to be outsourced any time soon. So if you want to brush me off with silly statements about bombs, go ahead but you really should pull your head out of your ass. FDR was worthless, he created entitlement programs that have created entire segments of our population that have little or no will to take care of their selves.

Signing the bill doesn&#039;t mean that Bush created it, and your little knowledge of how our government works is really shining though. The Senate is controlled by Democrats. The House is controlled by Democrats. Sen. Chris Dodd (D)ickhead has specifically taken ownership in allowing the AID exec money to be added to LAST MONTHS STIMULUS BILL. Its not Bush&#039;s fault that your leaders have buddy fucked you. Its what all politicians do. On top of that, Barry O took over $100,000 in campaign contributions from AIG. What does that mean? Please write back and tell me you are an LSU fan, that will really make my day.</description>
