Thread: Detractors: list 3 things you agree with Obama on....

He likes to stick our nose in foreign conflicts.
He takes care of his contributors and buddies.
He is good at keeping the little guy down.

Oh, it was supposed to be three things we liked.......my bad.

I dunno Chass, they all do seem like admirable qualities in a President... I mean granted, our ideology differs with his but wouldn't any President who was a Republican who did that be fine in the eyes of conservatives? Heck Bush wasn't any different on any of those grounds...

1. Decision to go into Pakistan to get Bin Laden (for those worried about the implications of this under international law, stop being such pussies!)

2. His overriding his left-wing extremist Attorney General and dropping the foolish idea of holding the KSM trial in the U.S.

3. GITMO!!!!

Never shot better then a 90 over 18. Still a lotta fun

A day on the course is always better then a day at work as they say, and the drinks on the back nine don't hurt either.

90? Your handicap sucks...unless you were playing the toughest golf courses in the world, you need to find a new hobby!

Now whats more fun then golf? Walking 18 in the sun, enjoying a drink, and bashing the shite out of a ball.

Lots of sports I was better at ... that I would never trade for a round of golf.

Me neither for that matter - i was awesome at pool at one point but i used to drink so much it just became a chore...Golf on the other hand i concur with. I mean other than than the part about walking - golf carts were invented for a reason!

Its always fun to see if you can tag behind someone or near someone who gets a hole in one...not to get a free drink out of it but see what the cost is at the bar at the end for his tab, haha.

Most of the positive things I can say are virtues of omission. The far left may be upset about some of the campaign promises that never materialized. However, I’d say the rest of the political spectrum would consider these “good things”. But listing broken Obama campaign promises is kinda easy. So here is an attempt at things he actually did:

1. The War On Terror (if we can still call it that). His use of combat drones, though relatively safe politically, should be commended. The OBL raid. No Pakistani OK for the raid. No trial. Buried at sea. An anti-climactic end-of-story, as it should be. Another virtue of omission perhaps, but he let the people who know better, do their thing in some cases.

2. Economic moments of diplomacy. Extending the tax cuts, realizing that the deficit might be a problem. Though I hate the “super dooper commission”, at least he tried.

3. Trying to be presidential. When the mud was flying, he at least tried to stay above it. Again, this may have been more of a political move to let his cronies fight his battles or perhaps he really was detached from the arguments, but the President is not a House member and shouldn’t act like one. That doesn’t excuse everything. His recent speech was nothing but political, and abused his ability to call for such a thing. But every once and a while, he acts like he actually won the election.
