The Obama Presidency

[Drewbacca]

Even if it was, it still doesn't matter. Capitalism doesn't prevent someone from being competitive. It's harder to make inroads in some industries than others, this is true. Look at console hardware manufacturing. If you're not Microsoft, you weren't coming into the space with as much initial success as they had. But I don't see how the alternative is good for consumers.

It isn't. I was just pointing out that capitalism, while amazing, isn't perfect.

You can also eat a dick, but I won't tell you that. And no you can not elect the president which is what I said, BUT PLEASE tell me what I wrote, Teacher.

Good thing you're talking to a teacher then! Now we can work on reading comprehension!

You wrote:

You live in America? You can vote for the US President? Oh wait ...

So no, I can't vote for the president here, though I could if I simply moved to any of the states, without any paperwork or type of status change. But you conveniently forgot the other half of what you said. The fact that I do live in America means I have every right to comment on the policy it takes and voice my opinion, just like the other five million American citizens that live in its territories worldwide.

You act the same way YAWA. You act as though you have the Democratic or Liberal answer to this. You don't like Yoshi's answer to any of this, yet you don't EVER say what YOU'D do. YET You act like you do.

also ...


QFT

Umm right there, no I don't. I don't say the Democrats have the answer, nor have I ever. Go back and read the fucking posts man. The ideal answer for the economy is probably a lot closer to what Yoshi thinks than a lot of Democrats would ever be willing to admit, but I have no problem giving him props for. The problem is, it's idealistic and not going to happen.

Yoshi claims knowledge of the economy that us peons can't fathom, and I'm calling him out on it because I'm not claiming such a thing. He has presented nothing but unrealistic ideas that he knows even the Republicans with a majority wouldn't implement at this point.

He's the one saying everyone who doesn't agree with him lives in a fantasy world, so I want to hear from him, in realistic terms based on how our government and politicians operate, how we solve this crisis. That is not unreasonable. If he doesn't want to answer, that's fine with me. It only makes him even more of an idealistic, partisan hack prick then he already is.

So, you QFT cause god forbid I ask for honest discourse instead of partisan talking points in the fucking political thread.

You do know the QFT was to Drew not to Yoshi. Right?

[Yoshi]

Obama's too big of a pussy to play that role.

[Yoshi]

There are quite a few well oiled machines in the government. Most of them are local though like fire and police etc. The Feds should only be around to do broad scale protection deals (i.e. the army) and general foreign relations. Essentially shit that a state/local municipality couldn't handle. Federal regulation should not go much (if any at all) past simple oversight.

Yep. We're on exactly the same page.

I wish our president could be an Bruce Campbell style bad ass.
