i think you look at the entire 911 scenario through a kaleidoscope.
ppl need to understand that it would have happened no matter who was in office. The problem is that if Al Gore was our president at the time then we would not have gotten any sort of reaction or emotion from the man. GWB was the right leader at the right time. Whether you like to hear it or not.
Barak Obama as great as you think he is, is a rookie senator who got the right people behind him to run in a weak election. Its like serie A in 2007 where Inter ran away with it because there was no competition. Obama has not accomplished anything during his term as senator that is noteworthy enough to validate him as president of the U.S. 1 term alone is not enough to make the jump from congress to the executive office!
Since obama's knock against McCain is that he is the 'same' as GWB and there will be nothing new or different offered to the people if McCain is elected then I will give you this analogy to ponder:
(With all things being equal and everyone here thinking the past 8 years have been horrible for the people of the U.S.)
If you have been eating garbage for the past 8 years, and someone finally says you can either choose to keep eating garbage or switch to eating shit which would you prefer?
George W. Bush was never the right man for the job. And saying so makes you look like an idiot. Bush didn't even win those elections in the first place and his response to 9/11 was, like you said, highly emotional and all about revenge. Far from the class you'd expect from a world leader.
The whole 9/11 scenario is strange. I'm not into conspiracy theories, but a lot of things are very very odd. If you'd then consider the fact that 9/11 is a huge advantage to the republicans you have to wonder. I'm not saying they made it happen, but perhaps they let it happen. Let's be frank here,
nothing was done to prevent 9/11 on the day itself. And very little was done before.
It's not that I think Obama's great. It's that I think he's the only option.
really ?
have we been attacked since ??
how many times were our interests around the world (including the first WTC bombing) attacked while a democrat was in office ??
now who's not good at reasoning, Seven ?
You're not so great at it.
1. Bush was in office during 9/11. So your interests
were attacked while a republican was in office. The comparison with democrats doesn't even hold as there has been no democrat in office since 9/11.
2. It has been seven years since 9/11. I don't think it's such a great achievement to not have another disaster like it. I mean, two like that in eight years would be truly bad.
3. I have this great rock in my room. It keeps lions away. I take it you want to buy that rock?
