Date: January 15th, 2009 12:30 PM Author: avocado messiness internal respiration I don't know why, but lately I've been feeling sorry for the guy. Sure I disagree with most of his policies, and his two terms have been pretty terrible, but he just seems like a good guy who was clearly not ready to be POTUS. It seems like he was led astray early on by shitty advisers who were actually pretty awful people (Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rove), and yes it is fault for appointing these guys, but when 9/11 hit he looked to them and they pointed him in the wrong direction. For some reason this makes me feel bad for him. The allegations of him being an evil person seem extreme. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=916377&forum_id=2.#10724325) |

Date: January 15th, 2009 12:36 PM Author: Maroon pervert One thing to say in his defense- that dude never flipped on anything and didnt give a flying fuck about polls or politicking. I respect that.

Date: January 15th, 2009 1:53 PM Author: flickering cordovan pocket flask dilemma Yes, I'm sure he is very disappointed that his flimsy rationale for the war was discovered to be incorrect.

Date: January 15th, 2009 1:56 PM Author: flickering cordovan pocket flask dilemma Honestly, there's not much he could say. He's had years and hasn't changed a thing, including his policies on torture.
But I'd want him to start by admitting flat out that the war was a mistake and that he was aware there was little evidence of weapons of mass destruction when he made the decision to invade. |
