The president of the U.S. has served this country well. The economy is growing and very healthy. Education is being held to some important standards. Schools may not be able to meet the requirements of No Child Left Behind, but that is not a presidential failure.

The inferior officer, the most clueless of Clueless of Clueless Old Liberals would beg to differ with the statements above.  Somewhere in there you absolutely must be lieing and/or spinning on behalf of the President because what you have written just cannot be true as that troll has stated so many times and oh so clearly in the past (and in his latest fetid pile some would call an article).

 

In addition, even though the democrats have been nothing but obstacles and friends to Americas' enemies the war in Iraq is turning around for the better.

Obstacles?!!?  How dare you point out this fact that escapes a majority of the country, or at least seems to escape the majority of liberal minded lemmings that are buying the crap the so-called main stream media is feeding them?!?

 

Patreus' report to congress showed me that Iraqi regular citizens and secuirty forces are standing up and meeting the security challenges in thier country.

You actually got that from the Petraeus' report?  You must be a Bush apologist!

 

I would go on pointing out the fallacies of your statements, but, but.... but....   I can't, because what you've written is true -- if you aren't a fine example of inferior intellect that hides behind denigrated military titles that were so long ago disrepected that no one in their right mind should ever bother to even use the title when addressing the in-DUH-vidual.

 

Seriously, you've summed up a lot of things in your article, and I wish more people would take such a honest and thoughtful approach to where we stand now.  Even better, how about considering where we could be standing at this point if a different person were in the job.

As you've said, the President has done the best he can given the circumstances he found himself and this country in.  Events occured that were the result of many years of previous events and policies.  In many cases the events occured because of incompetence in government that goes back to the Carter administration, and certainly ran back through the Clinton administration (and yes, some events can be traced back to occurences in the Bush 41 and Reagan administrations too).

If you aren't in the business of trolling, you probably can acknowledge what has been written in the article above.  If you are in that trolling busiess, then I ask again to get your butt back under your bridge and stay there.

Really? You have to look inside yourself to know you're human? Someone should take those knives away from you and give you a mirror.



Except, of course, in those areas the Taliban continues to control, and those areas where dwindling support from the west has meant they can no longer be held. With most countries looking to reduce their military support for the war on terror it's only a matter of time before Afghanistan is returned to the Taliban. It'll be a good thing for the war on drugs, but not the war on terror.



Because we're interesting? Only boring people do what they're told.



You and your anti-natural fibre agenda? Where will it end? Will you not be happy unless we can only wear synthetics?



You're contradicting yourself here, as previously you said that people "rather be petty, negatively critical, and spiteful."

Which one is it? Are people fundamentally good, or are they fundamentally petty, critical and spiteful?



Unsurprising.



I acknowledge it. Some of it is undoubtedly believed to be true, but that doesn't make it so. Still, this troll supports your right to avoid looking beyond the press release. God knows I rarely do.



Really? Well written? This is a steaming turd of badly spelled prose written by someone whose connection with reality borders on infinitesimal. It's just a string of assertions which are easy to say and difficult to support or contend with (motherhood statements really). I can't say I expect more from you Ted, but one day I hope you get past your urge to support anything and anyone which or who shares your beliefs.

Never thought I'd be quoting you as the voice of reason here, cacto! This is only "well written" for a child in grades one through five, and definitely not worthy of an endorsement from anyone with credibility.

I have determined at this point that if I ever find myself stranded in El Paso without a ride, I'll walk. I'm seriously worried about the fumes leeching into the taxis there!
