President Barack Obama - Term 1 and 2 Thread

[conversationpc]

didn't w expand our government, like a lot?

People keep bringing this point up like it actually means something.

My response is...What does that have to do with anything other than it's true? Conservatives have lamented Bush's huge increase in the size of government for several years now.

i brought it up in response to today's protest. i don't recall any protests against w's actions, other than anti war protests.

It's been going on for years now, though. Big difference. People are fed up. The comment is meaningless.

[Lula]

gee dave, my comment may be meaningless to you, but i felt it was relevant. maybe these folks just take a really long time to plan and mobilize.

i'm not going to do a round and round. i never should have come back to this thread.

It's not just about that one thing... it's at the boiling point now and we're not going to sit back and take it anymore. This has nothing to do with r's and d's and anyone who makes the mistake of chalking it up to politics as usual does so at their own peril. I'm blown away by what is happening in our country and proud as hell to be a part of it.

I agree. This thread is misnamed. It should be "The "Right" bashes America.

Turn the channel off of Fox once in awhile and you'll find out what others are saying.

They have been showing the videos and reporting the accusations.

Last week, we saw some pretty disturbing activities revealed in the undercover footage from ACORN Housing’s Baltimore office. By any measure of conduct, the actions of ACORN’s employees should never have happened. It turns out the actions shouldn’t have happened for another, very simple, reason: ACORN can’t legally operate in the state of Maryland.

According to the following documents, ACORN, Inc.–the parent organization of all things ACORN–forfeited its corporate charter in Maryland in 2006. ACORN Housing forfeited its corporate charter in 2008. Any ACORN office in the state of Maryland is potentially operating illegally.

The Maryland Attorney General has made noise about prosecuting the intrepid journalists who undercovered the misdeeds of ACORN employees. Perhaps he should focus instead on how ACORN was able to operate without a license in his state.
