The only way you can say the debt is exploding is if you don't understand economics and our current debt situation. The United States national debt is not exploding.
"You are right, Obama's list of stupid sh!t is far longer than Bush's."
Keep telling yourself that. LMFAO!
"Here's just a few things Obama can hang his hat on:"
You do realize the economy was going down BEFORE Obama was elected, right? And you do realize that the economy, unemployment, etc. is improving UNDER Obama, right?
"widespread drone strikes"
Happened under Bush.
"$825 billion stimulus package that didn't stimulate anything"
Absolutely, utterly, verifiably, and demonstrably false. It saved and created several million jobs and kept the economy from hitting rock bottom.
"record spending"
Which has been going down.
"exploding debt and budget deficits"
There is nothing exploding about our debt or budget.
"IRS targeting of opponents"
Happened under Bush.
"a DOJ that's out of control"
Both of the issues the DOJ (Fast & Furious and media subpoenas) is demonized for happened under Bush.
"demonizing the rich and corporations"
As opposed to the Republican way of demonizing the poor and middle class?
"least transparent gov't in history"
That is your opinion and nothing more. The Obama administration is exponentially more transparent than the Bush administration.
"the highest number of prosecutions of whistle-blowers ever in history"
To prevent the leaks that Republicans were crying about.
"an ambassador murdered"
As opposed to the 4,000+ dead United States soldiers, 3,000 dead Americans on 9/11, etc. under Bush?
"Obama has basically done everything that Bush did and more."
Maybe you could enlighten me about the two wars Obama started, the Hurricane/FEMA debacle under Obama, tax cuts on the wealthy, limiting stem cell research, not capturing Osama Bin Laden, and not signing the Kyoto Protocol.
Oh wait, Obama didn't do any of that stupid sh!t, did he?
"Alpo. Your writing time would be better spent drafting an apology letter to me."
You've yet to realize that going on and on about this doesn't help your case in the least. The fact that it continues to bother you several days later would lead one to believe that there was a significant amount of truth to the claims made about you.
Considering you've gone through the trouble to create three, separate profiles to post in these threads, you might take a second to look in the mirror.
No one wants to matter as much as the poster formerly known as Jack_Dennis and Rebus and now posts under the alias PlainTruth.
"So we as a country decide to spend trillions of dollars and go 100% green, but what about the rest of the world's pollution?"
The United States of America is the second largest producer of CO2 emissions worldwide. China is number one. The United States emits as much CO2 as the next 5 countries combined (Russia, India, Japan, Germany, and Canada). While becoming 100% green will never happen for the United States, anything close to that would be a huge step in the right direction to stave off the ill effects of global warming.
"Are we going to start dictating policies to China, India, Russia and any other non-green countries."
The United States already has agreements with other countries that involve cap-and-trade deals and other emissions limitations.
"Should we be willing to go to war with any country that is not green?"
We've gone to war for a lot less, but I think that's an extremely drastic and unnecessary measure to take considering the immediate and long-term consequences of war.
"How can the United States fix global warming if there are plenty of other countries polluting it up."
We can fix the problem by taking care of our own emissions and pollution problems. And by expecting others to do the same. If we take the lead, others will surely follow. That's the way it's always worked.
"There is no man made global warming and therefore there is no problem."
You're absolutely wrong. 97% of climate scientists disagree with your unlettered, ignorant, unresearched, incorrect opinion.
"You believe man is causing global warming so what are you doing to cause global warming? Please be specific."
Burning any type of fossil fuel: driving cars and airplanes, using electricity from coal-fired power plants, or heating our homes with oil or natural gas.
Deforestation is another significant source of greenhouse gases, because fewer trees means less carbon dioxide conversion to oxygen.
Increases in atmospheric methane: mostly from agricultural activities such as raising cattle and growing rice.
Increases in nitrous oxide: nylon and nitric acid production, fertilizers in agriculture, vehicle catalytic converters, and the burning of organic matter.
There is the answer to your question. Here are a few for you: how, in the face of the overwhelming evidence, can you deny man-made global warming? Where is you proof? You have made outlandish claims that go against the overwhelming consensus, yet you haven't provided even the slightest proof to support anything you say?

I pity ignorant, homophobic, bigoted hypocrites like yourself with your fallacious arguments and hateful rhetoric.
I find you immoral, Wilma. You, Fred and Pebbles need to go back to the Stone Age. We're moving forward here in America.
