Intro: "Hours before President Obama popped up unexpectedly in Afghanistan, Romney and Giuliani popped up at a fire station near Ground Zero to complain that he was politicizing the killing of bin Laden. What was wrong with this picture?"

We are concerned about a recent drift towards vitriol in the RSN Reader comments section. There is a fine line between moderation and censorship. No one likes a harsh or confrontational forum atmosphere. At the same time everyone wants to be able to express themselves freely. We'll start by encouraging good judgment. If that doesn't work we'll have to ramp up the moderation.
General guidelines: Avoid personal attacks on other forum members; Avoid remarks that are ethnically derogatory; Do not advocate violence, or any illegal activity.

George Bush was (S)elected by the Supremes, and yes it was a disastrous 8 years. As they splurged on 2 tax cuts, 2 wars, and Part D Medicare, and told us lie after lie every day ("mushroom clouds" anyone?), VP Cheney continued to tell us that "Deficits don't matter". Do you remember what George Bush, the ultimate draft dodger, was doing on 5/1/2003? He was landing in a jet aircraft on the deck of the carrier Abraham Lincoln (flight suit and all), and politicizing the Iraq war by proclaiming under a "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" banner the end of major combat operations in Iraq. Needless to say, he was 8 years too early! When they left office in 2008 (Bush couldn't wait to dump the mess in Obama's lap), we were $5 Trillion deeper in debt and SHEDDING 750,000 JOBS PER MONTH!
OBSCENE! But you're right, the negative advertising from the Right will make it seem that President Obama caused the disaster.
I could quote statements made by a number of presidents that could be used to prove them either incompetent, or in love with a possible dictatorship, George W. included.
But this time Obi-won the kan-i-be boss PR, as Romney pawed over scraps at ground zero, Obi grabbed the high Ground (Sun Zhi of Wu - Art of War) won the PR as brave American in a war-zone 6 hours to sign a treaty & visit the troups. Had time to depart and 2 hours to spare for Ambassador to return from airport farewell boss, to Embassy safety before the 2 hour later car bomb blew outside the Embassy. Locking Ambassador and staff in a lock-down Obi safely missed. But showing him fearless to do his Nations bidding as Romney pawed ove crumbs of a long past Bush War excuse. Probably same agency for Bush 9/11 and Obi 2/4 Afghan treaty? Good PR agency for sure.
#1 The Supreme Court was "usurped" a long time ago. Most apparent during the 2000 "election".
#2 If you will remember, George W. referred to the constitution as "a goddam piece of paper", with witnesses.
#3 Congress is also bought and sold out to the same people presidents are.
#4 American hasn't been the American you refer to, for decades.
but Robt..."there you go again"
take both the glory and also the condemnation of every action. The grunt who did the fighting hardly ever gets mentioned and when back home is mostly ignored.

Former Rogue OSS - SEC - ABC - CIA Director: William J. Casey said, "We'll know when our Disinformation Program is complete when everything the American Public believes is false."
The American voters put Obama in the position to order the strike against Bin Laden. Obama gave the SEALs full credit for their success. Trying to spin this against him is a Karl Rove propaganda ploy that will no doubt appeal to the TP faithful, but won't bring any independent voters over to the dark side.
Amerika stopped being America when five Supreme Court Justices appointed GWB as president. Granting corporations the same rights (without the same responsibilitie s) as people drove the last nail on the coffin lid of democratic process. Conservatism and corporatism have redefined our democratic republic. What we now have is crony capitalist fascism that is beyond regulation or restraint. There is no hope for us if the GOP gains any ground in Nov.
I will proudly vote for Obama and every other Democrat in November.
It seems that anyone or any nation who stands against the interests of the elite banking cabal and US/European Imperialism is considered an enemy who must be annihilated.
Obama's policies are just a continuation of Bush and the neocons. The only difference is that Obama's charisma, brilliance,inte lligence and GQ looks makes everything he says and does a little more palatable and justifiable.
I hope that people realize that we are all being brainwashed and manipulated for an election.
People are being bombed to pieces. Worst of all the entire genetics of a people in the MID East is being completely corrupted by the use of white phosphorous and experimental uranium as well as depleted uranium bombs. People in Iraq are being told not to have children.
I do not trust Obama and sadly my sixth sense tells me that once he is elected he will order a strike on Iran. That is the whole purpose for AFRICOM. Once Iran is destroyed the US/Israel/Europ e will have total control of Mid East wealth.
Romney? Obama? it does not matter. Whomever assumes the title of "President" does what he is told to do by the 1% who hold all of the wealth and all of the power.
Drones, depleted uranium, and white phosphorus are just the beginning of the list of weapons used by the U.S. military against the indigenous peoples of the Middle East, with far too many collateral casualties among noncombatants. That Mr. Obama seems to actually believe that these weapons are some kind of precision tools for selectively and accurately eliminating enemies of the United States shows that he is woefully ignorant of their real operating capabilities or is in very deep denial about his complicity with their patently inhumane use.
Only the U,S, military and its Air Force could have taken down those towers on 911. Only the US has the technology and the know with all to deploy depleted uraniun bombs and use (illegally) white phosphorous in Iraq and Afghanistan. Not to mention the technology to build, deploy and maneuver drones.
FMC Corporation Pocatello ID and Monsanto in Silver Srings ID are two companies which produce this chemical. Human Rights Watch has a report about Israel's use of white phosphorous in Gaza. U.S. sells the chemicals to Israel. Same way the US sold mustard gas and other toxic chemicals to Saddam Hussein which he used against the Kurds.

For all of you doubters the fact is that when it comes to military superiority and the richest military budget on the planet we can come to only one conclusion 911 was an inside job.
They were totally shameless and refused to face that Bush bears a lot of responsibility for the attack. There were so many warnings and as George Tenet was saying: they were all going around with their hair on fire!!!!
AND WHERE WAS W, AND WHAT WAS HE DOING??? THE WHOLE MONTH OF AUGUST HE WAS CLEARING BRUSH ON HIS RANCH.
And when a CIA or FBI guy came to fill him in on the eminent danger. W dismissed him with: OK you have covered your ass, you can go.
The republicans hope that we all have amnesia. To be sure some do. But hopefully, enough REMEMBER
DO NO VOTE REPUBLICAN.
Sadly Huff-post and Ariana are playing the dis-info game. I left them long ago when they became a political TMZ website. Ariana has always supported the hand that feeds her lifestyle and since the sale of the sight she has swung hard right...again
