President Obama????

[Sparx]

So basically what you're saying is: 'If people can hate Bush, then I can hate Obama. HMPH.'

You do not know Obama. You do not know the reasons behind the decisions he makes. He is our president.

Hate is such a strong word, and you're throwing it around like nothing. How can you hate him? What has he done to you personally?

And honestly, no I do not hate anyone. I dislike some people, disagree with some people, and don't like being around some people. But I do not H-A-T-E anyone.

i hate zombies.
everyone else is cool.
but zombies and zombie sympathizers. damn PETZ and ZWPT (people for the ethical treatment of zombies and zombies were people too.)
when wwz breaks out, they'll be the first devoured. and i'll be saying i told you so.

but yeah. aside from that, hating isn't cool

OT, but is there something with this whole zombie thing? I keep hearing about it. Is it from a TV show or something?

I'm reading over this thread again and just laughing. It's so ridiculous!

I refuse to get involved with this insanity...hence why i haven't commented, (plus most of you know where i stand on the political spectrum) but i just have to say, i've been laughing through most of this thread as well.

 

[M.I.C.]

You would if you weren't given the same rights as others were.

In the state I live in gays are given the same rights.....

 

[DollfieDreams]

Life's too short to hate.

anger/hate is such a tiring emotion.

and i havent read this thread further than this page. i dont want to be involved with the ridiculous. i'll just take caitlin's word for it and laugh. x3

 

[CrazyChik]

You know everytime we have a thread like this I wonder what kind of a being God actually was and it leads me to the conclusion that if these are his teachings then frankly I'd prefer not to believe in him.

Yes, I can! Maybe you should try it. Life's much better without hate.

Sorry I cant share your vews on not hating anyne but, I have every right to hate some people in my life. How about my ex-uncle who was married to my aunt fr 13 years vand speant 11 of those having an affair. I HATE HIM. And my best friend of 6 years who one day decided not t be my friend anymre because I was unpopular. I HATE HER


I'm allowed t hate whoever I want

That's fine. At least you know those people. You don't know Obama personally. Sure, you can hate his policies, but don't you think HATING him is a little over the top?

 

[Osie]

i 100% agree with everything your saying. i hate him too. is such an idiot.

o and george bush did well

P.S. CHANGE WE NEED!!!!!!!!

I'm pretty sure it has to do with the world ending in 2012. That's when the Mayan calendars stop. I'm not sure when in 2012, but supposedly Zombies will eat us. You might not believe it, because you have lots of common sense. But I, on the other hand, don't have much common sense so therefore I do believe this will happen.

I'll change what I said then, I hate him as our president and his polcies but he's an ok person

 

[imabrat]

You mean you STRONGLY dislike that he's our pres, and you STRONGLY dislike his stand on issues, but he's a good person trying to do what he thinks is best for our country.

(BTW, this is how I felt about Bush)
IDK how old you are, but you seem younger too me. (IE 12,13) You're throwing the H word around a lot when I don't think you can understand the magnitude of that word.

 

[Axel]

First, yes I've seen what he's done with his girls but IMO a loving father wouldnt take on one of the most demanding jobs in the world while his girls were so young


I can hate Obama because many people hated George W Bush

These other Presidents took the job while they had children under the age of 18:

Clinton
Carter
Ford
Nixon
L. Johnson
Kennedy
Truman
FDR
Hoover (though, only by a couple months)
Coolidge
Harding (although, his child under 18 was the product of an affair)
Taft
T. Roosevelt
Harrison
Cleveland (both terms)
Arthur
Garfield
Hayes
Grant
A. Johnson
Lincoln
Pierce
Fillmore
Tyler
Adams
Monroe
Madison
Jefferson
Adams

I just don't see where all of them weren't loving fathers.

I'm almost 15 and actually most people tell me I'm mature for my age. I think there are words I could have used that would have been much worse then hate, but I dont think I'm allowed to post them

Let me re-word that one too. I dont think he'll be able to devout as much time to his kids as he used to. IS that any better

BTW, Amy Carter said her dad being president destroyed her life. She said she had NO friends through high school and at her weding she wouldnt let anyone give her away becasue she hated her parents so much.

Wait a minute. If Obama hadn't been elected, than Sarah Palin would be in office as our VP and she has a 20 year old, a 17 year old, a 15 year old, a 7 year old (or I think that's about how old she is) and a 4 month old baby with DOWN SYNDROME.

And your getting onto Obama for his priorities?

As did Meghan McCain. There was an article out a few days ago saying that her dad's campaign ruined her love life.
It happens with anyone voted in.

Amy Carter is only one person, just because she had a bad experience doesn't mean that everyone else will.

VP is much different then president

 

[Disney Dork]

VP is much different then president

Not really.

From Scholastic:

The V.P.'s Job: The only duty the U.S. Constitution assigns the Vice President is to act as presiding officer of the Senate. But the Vice President also serves as ceremonial assistant to the President and is an important part of the President's administration.

The Second Highest Office: The Vice President is only "a heartbeat away" from becoming the President. He or she must be ready to become President or Acting President if anything happens to the President. Thirteen Vice Presidents have gone on to become President, eight because of the death of a President. (Gerald Ford became President after Richard M. Nixon resigned, and the rest were elected to the office.)

Also, according to associatedcontent.com:

One of his most important jobs is to act as Presiding Officer of the Senate. In that role, the VP actually holds the tie-breaker vote if the Senate is in a 50-50 deadlock.

So I'd say being VP is pretty darn important. And takes up just as much of that person's time.
