Our President

If Bush is an idiot, then it just confirms to me that over half of America contains idiots(joking). If you didn't like the Iraq war then you didn't have to re-elect him in 2004. I agree the war's been handled badly, but I disagree that it was a bad decision to oust one of the world most cruel, murderous dictators(although Saddam probably held Iraq together.

As far as I'm concerned, the greatest insult to the office of President is George W. Bush himself.

Lemur wins again.

You know, Jimmy Carter is eligible for another term.

Hey, Murat, that ain't what it's about. At least I hope it ain't. It's fun to bat ideas back and forth, see which ones make it over the net. If the Backroom ever became all about winning, two inevitable problems would arise:

There would be no point in reading and digesting responses to your posts, since all you would want to do is beat them down. You wouldn't listen so much as reload.
Any change in your opinion would count as a loss, where in fact it is a win, 'cause it means we're learning things.

Just some thoughts.

And speaking of people who reload rather than listen, Vladimir, why do you suppose Carter is eligible? I know you're being silly, but is there some clause somewhere that puts a time cap on term limits?

You do know that Carter only served 1 term, right?

The office of the president is a responsibility, not an honor. When the current resident of that office pretty much decides to do what he wants, shirks his responsibilities, and attempts to turn the office into a throne room, he gets nothing but contempt from me.

Completely slipped my mind, thanks for the reality check. So by that reasoning we have both Carter and Bush Senior available. Vote for experience! Carter/Bush '08!

He's not my president, I don't have a president.

Which side of the Looking Glass is this? Who are you people and what have you done with the White Rabbit? Why am I wearing a dress?
