Care to expand on that ?

What? Haven't you been paying attention for the past 3 years?

Obama 2006:

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies. … Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here. Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better."

Obama's association with Rev. Wright, well I mean until the Rev's speeches got air time... a chruch that embraced black liberation theology

What does this latest have to do with people not electing Obama because of his personal life ?

TheMercenary · 11-21-2011, 02:53 PM

In 1995 Obama openly sought and obtained the endorsement of the Marxist New Party in his quest to be elected to the Illinois State Senate.

June 3, 2008
Obama's Alliance with Marxists

Also well supported and referenced in two great books:

Dreams from My Father, by BHO

and

The Roots of Obama's Rage by Dinesh D'Souza

His personal life experiences ran contrary to his support to raise the debt ceiling, well until he supported it.

TheMercenary · 11-21-2011, 02:58 PM

As Senator, Obama was highly critical of President Bush and his use of power and he promised change. He promised to close Gitmo. He railed against Bush for use war powers, surveillance questions, Guantanamo, detention policy and habeas corpus but yet he basically stayed the course on every issue and in many cases expanded them.

Still the same question...

What do these three latest posts have to do with people not electing Obama because of his personal life ?

Ok, I get it. You are unable to see that his associations in his personal life guided his political actions before, during, and since his election. You must have voted for him... point made.

You're not going to get an answer, Lamplighter.

Merc, nothing there is in his "personal" life. Plenty of questionable things in his *political* life, but nothing from his personal life.

Did he break his marriage vows? Has he married and divorced multiple times? Did he screw around in college? (not that this would bother many people). Did he drink or gamble or use drugs? Did he drive drunk (drowning staffers optional)? Was he a juvenile delinquent?

That is what people usually mean by "personal life".

ZenGum · 11-21-2011, 09:02 PM

Oh and did Cain really just say "We need a leader, not a reader"?

Lamplighter · 11-21-2011, 09:39 PM

Obama did smoke in his private life...
Maybe still does, but keeps it a secret from Michelle and the kids.
