Now, don't slay me like the liberal dragon I am, but you speak as if everyone isn't corrupt and haven't been in the past governments. I agree that there are plenty of things wrong with Obama, but what about Bush, what about Nixon and Watergate. You suggest that liberals are the reason why this country is going to hell in a hand-basket, well those who came before Obama were not all liberal and those who will come after, won't be either. And yet, corruption will still be rampant in the White House and all other factions of government ( ... )

Yes, I am aware that Obama is not the only President who has made mistakes. Others have and others will, yes. It is human nature; no one is perfect. But, there is a huge distinction between an ordinary mistake and Obama. Mistakes happen by accident, and are usually apologized for once it is recognized as a mistake. Then, if necessary, a solution is decided on in order to fix that mistake. The difference is that Obama doesn't admit to his mistakes because he does not see them as mistakes and he is very well aware of what he is doing. And, when his plans go haywire, he brushes the blame onto someone else or pushes it aside with a smooth-talking lecture about how there are bigger things to be worrying about. The media ignores everything and anything negative about Obama, so it's no wonder why so many people are in the dark. And, are you really playing the Bush card? Typical Liberal. The list of errors that landed upon Bush from the Clinton administration dug Bush into a hole that he had to get himself out of. But, no one would ever blame ( ... )

I don't remember too many other politicians ever apologizing for anything. This is no excuse for Obama, but the fact of the matter is that each 4 years a government is inherited from those past. And yes, Clinton made horrendous mistakes as well, I simply mention Bush because he got me so riled up as well as the fact that Obama is taking what Bush left him. And as for Obama brushing over things, I am no political genius but I have to wonder if perhaps his cabinet is "advising" him in regards to what he says and/or does not say/glosses over. Again, not a reason to hide your faults and thusly lie to the country. However, in my eyes, Obama seems fairly benign in terms of devious behavior so far. As with my opinion of many politicians though, I may be soon eating my words ( ... )

Well, I have to admit that your last post surprised me a little bit, and thus I have to change my mind. You are not a typical Liberal....however I still do not agree with you on many things. For starters, I am Pro-life. I do not believe in abortions. The single case in which an abortion should be allowed is in the case of rape. Otherwise, women should have to take responsibility for their actions.

I do agree with you in that our country has lost a sense of togetherness. The want to help others in not as evident as it once was. People have become extremely selfish, self-centered and closed-minded, but that's a whole other topic in itself.

And, I don't think anyone enjoys warfare, but sometimes there is no other way. I do agree with you on another point int that history repeays itself and we need to be watching that more carefully.

My my, 16 and yet has such well organized arguments? I am impressed.

jennaharper January 29 2010, 01:52:26 UTC

Thank you. Mix my parents and Sean Hannity together and it's impossible not to get a smart teenager out of the mix.

theevilp0ptart January 29 2010, 03:19:26 UTC

Maybe take Sean Hannity out of the equation though. Hannity is a bit too cynical of anything to the left, in my opinion anyway.

It's Bill O'Reilly that what make Fox News awesome.

zerorevenge January 29 2010, 07:14:52 UTC

I have to agree with this entirely.

While Hannity & Beck [I know i'm opening myself to flak here] bring up valid points, O'Reilly does it best.

Either way. I'm still impressed. Most Teenagers don't care about politics in the slightest. Because the generation under my own still has some hope yet...

I hope you are getting all As in your classes on top of working a full time job for all this preaching you're doing. Otherwise, get off that soap box!
