So Blackhawk Down wasn't classified and Clinton never got any guff from the Right on it?

Iran Contra wasn't classified and Reagan never got any guff from the Left on it?

I disagree that the privitization of SS was less divisive. No way that would or ever will pass. Hell, Obama couldn't get that one passed when he had it all on his side.

Obamacare got passed but it is terrible as written. He sold his soul to everyone to get it passsed. It will be interesting to see how it changes as time goes on. It will also be interesting to see how it affects costs and how much taxpayer money is used to subsidize the insurance companies.

You aren't talking about the guy setting in the corner of the situation room in a Erkel like jacket are you?

The end of those wars, win, lose, or draw... will be on the list of what he is remembered for. Whether you are in favor of what he did, hated it, or could give a rat's patoot about the whole thing... its still likely to be a major part of how his administration is remembered.

You still don't see the differences?

The mission to get OBL was NOT done during daylight hours as the others you mentioned, didn't involved hundreds of people like the others you mentioned and because the enemy didn't win, the enemy didn't have a chance to talk about their success and our failure.

IF the OBL mission failed, it would have been labeled as a failed training op IF it ever became public.

I've come to the conclusion folks on the far left would like to live under the government of North Korea.

I still think there will be plenty of revisionist historians that will fluff up Obama's "legacy, " and we have the type of country that will lap up the propaganda.


Seems likely, this is the country where a deficit spending, gun Grabbing, terror funding, abortion approving, amnesty granting, constitution violating, death squad backing actor is regarded as a conservative icon.

Yeah he was in a lot danger sending in the Special Ops guys to take care of OBL.


He risked his entire presidency on it. To not acknowledge the risk he took is unfair.


This, Carter was ridiculed for the failed hostage rescue and that was a military attack on an enemy, if the choppers are shot down by Pakistan (a putative ally) less than a mile from their premier military Academy and the US can't explain why they were there (they couldn't) it's the kind of incident that starts wars not simply embarrassing.

Exactly! Considering the fact that we were never 100% certain that OBL was in the house before the raid, Obama had to roll the dice. Joe Biden opposed the raid for this very reason. It could have easily ended up like the Iran rescue mission or Bay of Pigs.

Moore is a money whore who panders to the far left. He's not an idealist, he's in it for the money.

I honestly laughed right out loud as I read that.

I can't tell if you really believe such silliness or if you were trying to make people chuckle.

1. A completely partisan vote.

2. His party manipulated the shite out of a gutted bill to circumvent the rules.

How was this such a huge accomplishment?


I think you answered your own question. Not saying it was a good or bad bill, but it was a MAJOR bill that drastically changed healthcare in this country. That he had to line up democrats and manipulate rules only makes more of an accomplishment than if everyone was holding hands.

Legislation is not easy, much less major, complicated legislation where the other party is dead set against you.

No, they would like for you to live under a government like North Korea. They are relativist. What is good for you may not be good for them

Michael Moore sees President Obama's legacy as set. The progressive documentary filmmaker couldn't help but express his disappointment with the legislative accomplishments of the politician.



Maybe he'll make a documentary about it?
