yes, the intellect stat is quite important to me as a voter. wisdom is an equally important stat as well.

i guess it makes me feel better about myself to see the president publicly demonstrate that he is a human and capable of making mistakes, but i didnt vote for him based on the idea that he would do that. frankly, its embarrassing to be represented by him considering some of his actions.
A guy that can't utilize proper grammar is embarrassed by the president. Oh no!

Back to the OP's list though, I gotta ask: is this really what you care about?


Presidents have lives, and they go places. When they do they take AF One; yes it costs money, but the secret service pretty much requires it. Do you really want a president who never leaves the White House except for official business?


vs. having the company collapse and be worth nothing? Seems like 10% > 0%.


Really, your judge of a president is what meaningless gifts he gives other heads of state? Really?



Really, the president's ability to speak Spanish is how you judge him?


Again, the president's ability to spell is a big concern for you? Really?


I'm sure Obama told his pilot "go low and scare the fuck out of people" and that it had nothing to do with the advice of his pilot/secret service/etc.


Really? It matters whether a president uses a teleprompter like every other person on TV or not? Really?


C'mon: the old system didn't work either [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I mean, there are lots of really good reasons to dislike Obama: why waste your time caring about his spelling?
Really? Bro, Really? Really Bro? Seriously Really Bro? Really? BRO REALLY BRO REALLY? REALLY? BRO REALLY? REALLY?, REALLY?, BRO REALLY?, REEEAAALLLYYY???

@JayN
Huh? If you're trying to say "the rich Jews run the government" I agree 100% on the rich part but isn't the Jew part being a little KKK?

I would vote if any of the candidates represented a majority of the country's voters, or if fair campaigning laws were introduced, with each candidate receiving the same amount of funding. All of our elections are, for the most part, fixed and illegitimate. Some people will say if you don't vote then you have nothing to complain about.

Who do you vote for when none of the candidates represent you, the election is rigged from the start (campaign cobtributions lol,) and the parties who are traditionally elected have no interest in leveling the playing fields for future elections?

If a 3rd party candidate was given a fair shake and wasn't painted negatively or as a cook by the main stream media (as so often happens) perhaps people would be more inclined to vote with their brain instead of just doing whatever Mtv, Cnn,Fox, or mommy/daddy tells them is right.

Republicans and democrats are no different, if you think they are then you've been duped just like most voters in America. They represent an older generation's dead or dying political ideals which no longer work in todays modern world.

I would prefer no government at all rather than a tyrannical, corrupt, and broken one. Anyone who knows what this nation stands for should prolly feel similarly. I would say that most people already do feel this way which is why less than half of the eligible voters in this nation take part in elections.

Maybe one day when people realize our politicians are being elected by a noisy and wealthy minority, things will change for the better.



Ps, I'm shocked OP had nothing to say bout Obama negotiating with terrorists (and freeing some of them to "return to the battlefield") in order to free an American "POW" who was allegedly actually a deserter.

I'm with you except for the no government is better than crappy government part. With no government, I would probably have less time to spend playing p99.

Ok look we all want the Afghanistan war to end right? It's been 12+ years of fighting in a country where the guy we went in to get (Bin Laden) left like 11 years ago. Well, when wars end, countries exchange POWs; it's part of the whole winding down of hostilities process. So we're doing that now, and it's not some crazy conspiracy, it's a perfectly normal thing for countries to do when they stop fighting each other.

Also, while the dude wandered off base and certainly violated his orders, he'd done it a few times before and had always come back. Now I don't know military law, but if they didn't kick him out those times, it can't be that bad of an offense. I'm not saying he wasn't a dumb fuck; when you're in the military you follow orders. Still, it's not like he went to go fight for the other side or something, so calling him a deserter is a bit off. Plus, America takes care of its own and all that jazz: if a soldier fucks up and then becomes a POW, we still rescue him ... we just court martial his ass afterwards.

Also, there were no "terrorists" freed. I know the word has become synonymous with "anyone we don't like", but that's not its real meaning. Allow me to break it down: Osama bin Laden was a terrorist. Al Quaida is made up of terrorists. The Taliban is a government (a government full of crazy chauvinistic assholes, but a government none the less). That government refused to help us catch terrorists, but members of that government are still politicians, or generals or whatever it is they are; they are not terrorists. Terrorists blow shit up; these guys just pass laws outlawing music and female skin-showing.

So look, I'll be the first guy to pile shit on Obama for everything he's done, but if you're going to hassle him least do it over something that matters like the NSA spying. Swapping POWs (even if one of them left base without permission) as a war ends is not a reason to hate on the guy.
