This right here.

I repeatedly call him the worst civil rights President we have ever had and I rarely get crap for it.  Odd.

Interesting. On what level?

It's not that you criticize the current administration. It's  that you've thrown so much shit over the course of this administrations that  any criticism you put forward has to have a significant amount of reasoning and convincing argument behind it to give it any chance of sticking.

Which you haven't really offered.

Stop attacking him where he's actually been crappy and express outrage on how he hasn't responded to my twitter complaints about Benghazi!



Happy?

It's not related to a scandal that gets a lot of coverage.  And you generally seem fairly inoffensive to lefties.  Plus that is a criticism that usually comes from the left, so it gets swept under the rug.

So does that invalidate others' criticism as well?  Like 11B, who actually voted for Obama?

You must not be in that good a mood because you aren't actually answering my questions.

Derspeiss, you and Yi are both doing the same thing.  You are saying that since the President didn't take extraordinary and unprecedented steps, he's an incompetent.  The situation in Libya was not and is not unique.  There have been similar situations in the past as there are now.  Yemen, Pakistan, Lebanon are all situations in the fairly recent past with similar situations.  Are Presidents Reagan and Bush just as incompetent as Obama for their failure to provide an infantry platoon as the personal escort of an ambassador?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

C'mon Derspeiss, you are man enough to answer this one.  Are they incompetent or not?  If not, why?

Yes of course, I'm a right wing gun nut here on languish.  :lol:

I'm reminded of the stock conservative response whenever someone criticized Bush.  "OMG BUSHITLER!!!!!1111oneoneeleven".  Yi was particularly fond of this to brush off any criticism.
