Obama is a piece of sh.t. Hands down the worst president in our nation's history, along with Jimmy Carter.
He spends most of his time on golf courses and has been in mosques more than he has in churches.

Bring in Monte Ellis and Paul Milsap, or Josh Smith and Stephen Curry!


The Spurs need to sign Landry ASAP. He's a good inside outside PF who'd fit in well next to Timmy. Then maybe use whatever is left of the MLE or else the vet minimum for Anthony Parker. Forget Josh Howard; he's been horrid the last 2 years, especially his shot selection and FG %. Then ship off Blair and/or Bonner for whatever the heck you can get back (McRoberts would be nice). This gives us a solid 10/11 man rotation, which will be vital for the upcoming rough schedule

New Lineup
Parker - Leonard
Landry - McRoberts
Duncan - Splitter
Neal - Ginobili - Anderson
Parker - Ford


TP-Jefferson-Hill
for
Nelson-Hedo-Reddick

I would say you should stick to basketball but clearly that arena gives you some trouble too :lol

Yeah I imagine there's a personal link between him and Obama.

Knowing his background ( military, disciplinarian) I'd figure he leans right politically.

But at the end of the day Pop is upper class, and along with the lower class neither is affected by who wins in Nov.

From an outside perspective (I am not an American):

-You have 2 bad candidates.

-It does not matter who wins because their actions are/will be 90% the same.

-Most big corporations and billionares donate to both (openly or secretly) so they have person in office who is in "debt" to them.

-American politics are completely broken and won't get fixed by either Romney or Obama.

Long story short - It is a waste of air (or 01010101) to argue who is better/worse because either one of them won't do what is necessary to make the lives of people better.

Whilst I've been to the states a ton of times I won't claim to understand your political system. However, I do find politics interesting.

Can I ask without offending anyone, does it really make that much of a difference whether a democrat or republican is in power? And if the other party is selected, do people evaluate what that president did with bias?

Speaking from a UK perspective our main parties are the Conservatives and Labour. I personally never vote, because I honestly couldn't give a rat's a5se whether Labour or the Conservatives are selected. The only exception would be if the BNP were winning, because they're a bunch of racist b*stards.

The reason I do not vote is:

A) They lie through their teeth and promise the world to get into power, but never deliver on their promises.

B) As Russell Brand so eloquently put when replying to "Bully Defender's" death threat where he stated "Stick to figuring out your pathetic government" (his was after Brand had cussed Bush in a joke, which most Americans didn't take as a joke):

"Oh no no, hey, don't have a go at my government. As if I'm bothered, I think they're w*nkers en all".

Off-topic, but if you haven't seen the whole death threat clip, it's worth a watch. This is the version from the O2 Arena in North Greenwich, London. He did a version in NYC, but held back on some of the content.

Suffice it to say, that Obama's economic policies have been disastrous, and he appears to plan to continue along the same lines. Furthermore, his ethics, and those of his advisers have been utterly disgusting. Finally, his foreign policy has been ugly both in terms of human costs around the world, and has significantly diminished US international influence.

Science and education going back hundreds of years swear they know the answer until proven wrong by someone who is a non-coformist thus questioning their merit as a scientist or a political lackey.

A true scientist proves something to be probably true and then turns around and attempts to disprove his work. They don't get caught up in beliefs one way or the other.

:lol Ignoring that the racist shit was amended out
:lol Ad hominem attacks on the Founders don't change the fact that we need Constitutional limits on government


The Constitutional limits on government went out the window under Bush. The worst harm to the county was the unprovoked attack on Iraq that cost the nation $4 trillion in debt, a fact generally overlooked by budget-minded Republicans.

I'd vote for anyone who would move us to a progressive sales tax. This way everyone would have skin in the game, but the guy with the big purse strings would pay more tax for his big ticket items. The IRS then could focus on business tax collections and stop scaring the crap out of the average working person.

The fact so many disagree about government is no one knows how to follow all its laws. Making life simpler would go a long way to making life better especially for the future generations.

Actually, the unconstitutional shit in regards to war started a long time ago with the Korean War (the first American war not to be Constitutionally declared).... Bush just further ramped up the abuses....

Which is a damn shame, because a Constitutional government would be small, inexpensive, efficient, and a lot more honorable than the current mess, tbh....

Are you talking about efficient when it comes to laws being made or more efficient as far as making each dollar they spend count? If you mean the latter, then I won't question you; if you mean the former, then I have to disagree. A Constitutional government would put a lot more power into the hands of Congress (you know, that legislative body that can't do a damn thing thanks in large part to the Constitution itself). The Constitution set up a government that was designed to be inefficient, so that laws would be very difficult to pass: James Madison coined the phrase "the tyranny of the majority" which speaks directly to what many of the Founding Fathers were trying to fight against.

Not to mention that the Congress has willingly given up a lot of their authority to the President anyway, because it was more convenient to pass the buck than to do their jobs. Especially when it comes foreign affairs (the Senate almost never formally declares war anymore). Congress has shown in the last half century or so that when the times get tough, they tuck tail and run, and leave the President to clean it up.

As to the question about whether it matters very much who the President is in reality, the answer is no, because Congress actually does have responsibilities over domestic issues, but they don't do shit. The only difference that the President makes is the potential changes that can be made, but when it comes down to it, most of those changes will never be made.

Long story short: Fuck Congress.

Bush was the worst President ever and many of his decisions still have life today with the potential to generate more harm to the country. The Citizens United case stems from his appointments to the court. I can't see how anyone can see the corporate takeover of the country with anything but alarm. When corporations have to die on the battlefield then they are approaching being a legal person but the original definition was that they were regarded as a legal person for the purpose of conducting business only; even then there is so much to that decision. The fact that sovereign Chinese money can be freely used to influence an American election is incredibly stupid and dangerous. Any teaparty folks reading here should note that the original tea party was also an expression disgust with corporate power (East India Trading Co.). The Founding Fathers had a good reason to fear corporate power and we should these days also. I will note that few people today calling themselves conservatives seem to have true conservative values.

...with all that said why isn't this moved to the political thread. Doesn't seem right here.

Your Forbes article is bogus. The writer bases Obama's increased spending on the spending by Bush in 2008. In 2008 we had the massive bailout. If I spend 100k a year and then one year buy a home for 300k it shouldn't be assumed that I will now be spending 400k per year. The home purchase and bailouts were one time expenditures not meant to be assumed to occur every year.

Reagan was the first to take us to red ink in peace time, but unemployment went from 7% to 5.4% from 1980-88. Star wars can be debated, but kkep in mind that without it we would not have gps and a host of other things that we take for granted in our everyday lives.

Bush led us to an unecessary war, which the democrats followed with the same intel that everyone else had.

History will look back on Obama and decide that his greatest mistake was in not controlling how stimulus dollars were spent. Most often they went down a hole of zero development, while it should have gone lock, stock and barrel to infrastructure issues. This is something he would have seen if he had more understanding of business.

Quite frankly, there is no reason that this mess should not be fixed or on its way to a steady recovery. Both parties have failed and will continue to do so as long as they continue to be managed by such extremism. That is the one thing you can say for Bill Clinton. We was able to work both sides of the aisle.

I would sell GPS back for all the vast treasure hoards we blew on all of Reagan's shill boondoggles. What a gyp.

The Dems were craven cowards, especially during the early part of Bush's terms. What a complete and utter wreck.

We'd be much better off at this point if the Republicans weren't actively working - admitted by Mitch McConnell - to obstructing any attempts to bring us back to an even keel, all in an attempt to keep Obama a one-termer. There has never been a more obstructionist Congress in this country. Yes, we could be in much better shape. We lost a huge opportunity to improve our national infrastructure. I don't think most of that is Obama's fault - it's the fault of the Legislature.

I'm not sure. Other countries have term limits, and those folks just use the post as a stepping stone for a huge pay day. My native Mexico is a sad example of that. IMO 2 years for representatives is just not enough time for them to develop the quid pro quo of political exchange.

The real issue is in the US, is the unchecked influence of money in politics. It sounds trite, but the lack of transparency, protected by incredible court decisions like Citizens United, is corrosive and dangerous. I would have less of a problem with people sending money to influence elected officials if we had more information about who was doing it. At least that way as a consumer I could choose not to shop at the stores of those contributors.

Your Forbes article is bogus. The writer bases Obama's increased spending on the spending by Bush in 2008. In 2008 we had the massive bailout. If I spend 100k a year and then one year buy a home for 300k it shouldn't be assumed that I will now be spending 400k per year. The home purchase and bailouts were one time expenditures not meant to be assumed to occur every year.

I mean where do you stop with that argument? So the Bush II budgets should be revised to remove the astronomical expense of the Iraq war because wars too are rare expenditures?

But let's say I agree with your premise (which I dont). You conveniently overlooked the $787 billion economic stimulus package of 2009, as well as the 2009 $140 billon BofA bailout, each of which the author makes a point to assign to the Obama budgets.

I don't believe it is an oversight. The war is not an isolated expense and Bush deserves full credit for the full bill. It is for us to decide whether we should have gone or should still be there. What I believe we as the citizenry should do is our own investigation. Whether we slant left or right it is easy to find the opinions we search for. We should be looking for the truth whether it matches what we want to hear or not.

Who cares who Popovich donates to.

The fiscal die for the U.S. is cast. George W. Bush is the one who pushed that ball over the edge. Obama is not a communist though some of his friends are, but that makes little difference b/c when push comes to shove the military doesn't back him.

The U.S. will go into fiscal meltdown. Nothing can stop that now. The economy is so dependent on borrowing that austerity to slow down the growth of the debt brings about the same endgame.

None of you will believe it until you're in the middle of it. The few who are highly intelligent like me can plan for it. You are puppets. We can control you.

When the crisis comes, the existing government will break down. It won't be able to pay for basic things like maintaining order. We are preparing for this. The U.S. like all Western nations has a latent authoritarian streak that comes out in times of crisis. Only visionaries like FDR can keep that under wraps but no one like him is coming to save you.

When chaos hits we will reestablish control. We know who our enemies are and we will kill them. Most of them are white liberals, including homosexuals and secular Jews, predominantly in academia, the entertainment media, and the civil bureaucracy. Their assets in our hands will buy the support of their patron groups. That the military will support us goes without saying.

The present-day Americans want to be told what to do. It makes them feel safe. They want the boundaries because in essence they are eternal children. Few will resist and those who do won't last long.

You are so stupid that I know I can state plainly what is going to happen and it will make no difference whatsoever; you'll just keep barking back and forth about Obama.

Reagan turned the largest creditor nation in the world into the largest debtor nation, and what did we have to show for it? Unemployment. He spent it all on weapons.

George W. Bush took us to one unnecessary war, another that was prosecuted poorly, and LOWERED TAXES. What has happened to other nations throughout history that have lowered taxes while waging war? They've foundered to oblivion.

This is what Obama inherited. Plus some. That we haven't completely fallen apart after the Bush years is a miracle. It will take a while longer for us to get back on track. I don't think many people realize just how bad it was.

Plus, GOP? Get the hell away from women. What the fuck? Bunch of hypocrites. Keep your clammy Jesus-freak hands away from forcing the rest of us to believe your rank idiocies. Some of us like science and education.

The demise of the USSR is widely laid at the feet of military spending. Thos who do not learn for history...

I haven't actually read through this thread, but for those of you undoubtedly calling Obama a communist, please utilize the dictionary your aunt is letting go at her garage sale this weekend.
Hell, the other day I was standing in line at IBC and a lady actually said that Obama was the closest thing to Hitler she has ever seen!!! WTF are you babbling bastards thinking with references like that?!!!

I blame Faux News personally.

Way to go Pop! Dems 4 life! Fuk yo repubs!

Interesting post.
Actually, closer to truth than one could think.

You also have to love how Reagan completely ignored the AIDS epidemic until it was too late.:tu
