but i do know he was one of the most liberal presidents to head the drug wars
he was focusing on rehab and prevention rather than supply side war
easily one of the more liberal approaches to gettin yo drug war on
I can dig that.
I also recall one of my favorite HST articles from when he was on the McGovern campaign, about how much he loathed Nixon but felt like he'd be a great guy to drink a beer and watch some football with

HST and Nixon actually got along pretty well.
HST almost slipped him some LSD aboard Airforce One, if I recall correctly.

Are you asking me to cite a campaign speech where he bemoans the jobs lost under Bush?
Because that would be, like... laughably easy to produce.
Then do it. Show where he blames Bush personally and not policies put forward by the Bush administration.
What's the difference, exactly? I'm not saying Obama's personal character flaws are to blame here.
Then why point out the difference in job losses? The job losses under the 6 month old Obama administration are related more to the previous 8 years of Bush policy more then the 6 months of Obama policy, so why even say it unless to provoke a "TEH OBAMAZ LOSTED TEH JORBS MOER TEHN BUSH!".
You also went into blame congress mode because it shifted left in 2006. What about the 6 years of Bush whitehouse and right wing congress before that? Perhaps that may have shaped the current economic woes we face? Keep on keeping on brother.
It was 1962. Richard Nixon had had enough. Enough of being called "Tricky Dick, the man no one would buy a used car from." Enough of the elitist derision that had come his way since the Hiss case. He had had enough of the liberal media who consistently held him to a higher standard than his Democratic opponents and poked fun at his lack of sophistication - he being the son of a grocer. So Nixon blew. He announced the end of his career in seeking elective office; "You won't have Dick Nixon to kick around anymore because, gentlemen, this is my last press conference." Six years later he was inaugurated as President of the United States.
And this:
In fact, resignation as Governor was necessary to preserve any prospect that Palin could be nominated and elected in 2012 or beyond.
Nixon was shrewd as fuck
Palin not so much, though.
That's just what she wants to think.
You are falling for her trap.

8 years = 96 months
96 months > 6 months

You guys know what would the perfect thing to do right now?
Implement a giant healthcare system!
Hey, let's start a second war with a country that had nothing to do with 9-11. It will be over in like 6 months, and the guy has WMD's anyway so lets bring it on.
I don't blame too much of what's currently taking place with our economy on Obama but I'm sure I'll blame our heavily stifled recovery on him.
That is if we have one within his first term as president.
What about the first round of stimulus under the Bush administration that basically got swallowed up by banks and didn't accomplish jack or shit?
Obama's stimulus hasn't done shit either, I agree, but it's not like he's alone holding the Stimulus Didn't Do Dick card.
I'm not even talking so much about the stimulus. I really worry about him micromanaging the auto industry and the effects it will have on the dozens of other industries that supply it. If his solution is to regulate everyone to making 80 HP euro-mobiles and then giving $4500 in federal incentives to consumers that don't want to buy them we are in for one long-ass session of negative growth.

well, if you set payroll taxes high enough to cover it, it would save businesses a lot of money and increase the size of the average worker's take-home wages without impacting the federal deficit
so yes, I imagine that would be a good thing to do right now, if I would have preferred it done twenty years ago

No, you're calling him a hypocrite president with no justification.
and Carter
don't forget Carter

I might be a level 5 hypocrite, but you're a level 9 hypocrite.
Then again, the stimulus bullshit that was passed under Bush's watch was WAAAAAY worse.

I guess you're grading how good it is based on how much it costs?
I mean, what's another trillion among friends, taxes aren't going up so it's all good.
Urgh.
You mean the one the Democratic congress voted on without reading?
and was actually Socialism!
Especially Harry Reid
That's just what she wants to think.

wow you're such an ass

The vast swathes of poor and uninsured think you're a dick
I love it when a human right as basic as good health is relegated entirely to a profit driven private industry
